Steve:

Okay, quick Descendants trivia question to start us off today.

Steve:

What is the name of the actress who plays Mal in the Descendants franchise?

Lovella:

Oh, that's an easy one. Dove Cameron.

Steve:

Correct!

Steve:

Welcome to another episode of Kids vs. Parents. I'm Steve.

Steve:

And I'm Lovella.

Steve:

And if it's your first time here at Kids vs. Parents, welcome. We're glad you're here.

Steve:

What's Kids vs. Parents about, Lovella?

Lovella:

It's where kids and parents face off and they have four questions for the kids, four questions for the parents, and it's a see who wins.

Steve:

That's right. All in one topic. And the questions are harder for the adults than they are for the kids, right?

Lovella:

Yeah.

Steve:

Try to keep it fair.

Lovella:

Yeah.

Steve:

All right. We've got trivia happening today, Lovella. What topic are we doing today?

Lovella:

Today, our topic is Descendants.

Steve:

And what's Descendants for those who don't know? For the parents in the car who are like, I don't know what this episode's about.

Lovella:

It's a Disney franchise. You watch it on Disney+.

Steve:

What's it about?

Lovella:

It's about four kids who are the descendants of Disney villains.

Steve:

Okay, right.

Steve:

So kids of the villains.

Steve:

Yep.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

And I believe you've brought a special guest with you today to help you because you don't

Steve:

know much about descendants.

Steve:

Is that right?

Lovella:

No, I think I'd be fine.

Steve:

Okay.

Lovella:

But if you came all the way over from Australia, please welcome my cousin Lolly.

Steve:

Hi, guys.

Steve:

Hi, Lolly.

Steve:

Welcome.

Steve:

Thank you.

Steve:

So glad you've made the 14-hour flight all the way over to be on this podcast.

Steve:

Yeah, me too.

Steve:

Lovella has brought you on because you are a Descendants expert.

Steve:

Is that correct?

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

How many times have you seen the movies?

Lolly:

Oh, probably at least 10 times each.

Steve:

Oh, no way.

Steve:

For the first three.

Steve:

Oh, really?

Lolly:

Yeah.

Steve:

Oh, boy.

Steve:

Okay, so I'm in some trouble then today?

Lolly:

Probably.

Lolly:

Definitely.

Steve:

There's no way I'm beating you two?

Lovella:

No.

Steve:

Yeah, okay.

Steve:

I feel like that is pretty accurate.

Steve:

Girls, what is your favourite Descendants character?

Steve:

Mal.

Lovella:

Mal, definitely.

Steve:

Yeah?

Steve:

Okay, Mal's the lead?

Steve:

Yeah.

Lovella:

She is, well, I won't say, but she's one of the main characters.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Don't want to give too many answers away to me, right?

Lovella:

Yeah, no.

Steve:

Do you want to know how many times I have watched Descendants?

Steve:

Zero.

Steve:

That's correct.

Steve:

Yes, zero.

Steve:

I have never watched a full movie of Descendants,

Steve:

but I have watched you watching them.

Steve:

And I have listened to some of the songs that you guys have played in the car.

Steve:

So maybe that'll give me a bit of a chance,

Steve:

but I'm hoping there are some parents in the car who are going to do better

Steve:

this trivia than me. So who goes first today, Lolly? I'll let you decide being the guest. Who

Steve:

would you like to go first? Parents or kids? Parents. Parents up first. Okay. You can see

Steve:

how well I do and then go from there. Okay. Parents, you're up first. Buckle up. Here we go.

Lolly:

Question number one. Who played the character Maleficent in Descendants 1?

Steve:

Who played the character Maleficent in Descendants 1?

Steve:

Does it change throughout the other movies?

Steve:

Well, let's just say she's not in the other movies.

Steve:

Okay, she's only in Descendants 1.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Am I going to know?

Steve:

Can you give me a little bit of a hint?

Steve:

She was on Broadway.

Steve:

Oh, okay.

Steve:

Right.

Steve:

So this is going to be either, is she in Wicked?

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

So this is either Idina Menzel or Kristen Chenoweth, who plays, she's an evil character?

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Well, Idina Menzel is already playing Elsa, right?

Steve:

in Frozen, so I can't imagine she can double up in characters.

Lovella:

Yes.

Steve:

I get where you're going.

Steve:

This is my logic.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

I'm trying to logic this out.

Steve:

If Idina Menzel is Elsa, then it's got to be Kristen Chenoweth.

Steve:

That's going to be my guess.

Steve:

Kristen Chenoweth.

Lolly:

That is correct.

Steve:

Yes.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

On the board.

Steve:

One on the board.

Steve:

I'm happy with that.

Lovella:

That's probably going to be your only point.

Steve:

My last one, is it?

Lovella:

Maybe.

Lovella:

Okay.

Lovella:

We'll see.

Steve:

We'll see.

Lolly:

All right.

Lolly:

Go for it.

Lolly:

Question number two.

Lovella:

Question number two.

Lolly:

Yeah.

Lovella:

Kind of like a.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

They weren't quite year after a year kind of thing.

I don't know, kids, how you guys are doing in the car,

Steve:

What island do the villain kids come from?

Lolly:

They come from the Isle of the Lost.

Lolly:

The Island of the Lost?

Lolly:

The Isle.

Lovella:

I was going to say because that is spelled different.

Lovella:

Yeah.

Lovella:

It's spelled I-S-L-E.

Steve:

Of course it's correct.

Steve:

That's three out of three for you guys.

Steve:

Well done.

Lovella:

You don't even have to give us a fourth question.

Lovella:

We're obviously going to get four out of four.

Steve:

Well, I guess I'm going to have to go to the bonus question

Steve:

and try and beat you in the bonus question.

Lovella:

I doubt it.

Steve:

Nice job.

Steve:

We'll see.

Steve:

I'm hoping that the parents are doing a much better job than me.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

Final question.

Steve:

Hopefully this is a little bit harder.

Steve:

Question number four.

Steve:

What is the name of the school the VKs attend in Auradon?

Lovella:

Um, the school they go to?

Lovella:

What is it called?

Lovella:

Wait.

Lovella:

Is it?

Lovella:

Oh, oh, I remember.

Lolly:

Was it Auradon Prep?

Lolly:

Auradon Prep?

Lovella:

Wait, hold on.

Lovella:

I thought it was Auradon Academy.

Lovella:

No, it wasn't.

Lovella:

It's Auradon Prep.

Steve:

Auradon Prep or Auradon Academy?

Steve:

What is your answer?

Lovella:

Auradon Prep.

Steve:

Auradon Prep is correct.

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

Well done.

Steve:

Well done.

Steve:

All right, guys.

Steve:

Well done.

Steve:

What's your score?

Lovella:

Four out of four.

Steve:

What's my score?

Lovella:

Two out of four.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

So I'm not doing as well.

Steve:

So we're going to go to our bonus question here.

Steve:

Lovella, explain how the bonus question works for Lolly.

Lovella:

Bonus question is basically it's one question and whoever answers first wins.

Steve:

Yeah, we usually say it's worth two points, right?

Lovella:

Two points.

Steve:

So it gives me a chance to essentially tie with you guys

Steve:

or you guys will just take out the win.

Steve:

So if in your car it's a tiebreaker, you can use this as the tiebreaker.

Steve:

But for us, it's a bonus question.

Lovella:

Yeah.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Okay, and how the bonus question works,

Steve:

we don't know the answer to this question.

Steve:

We have had a third party give us the question.

Steve:

This time it was Lolly's mum who gave us this question.

Steve:

So nobody knows the answer.

Steve:

So we can buzz in when we want.

Steve:

Here we go.

Steve:

You guys ready?

Steve:

Yeah.

Lovella:

Yeah.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

What is the title of the fourth movie in the Descendants franchise?

Lovella:

Buzz!

Steve:

We got first.

Steve:

You didn't even let me.

Lovella:

Too bad.

Steve:

I should have made you guys ask the question.

Lovella:

No.

Steve:

Can I have a guess?

Steve:

Can I guess it first?

Lovella:

You can guess it, but we get to actually answer it.

Steve:

Because I think this is a trick question, right?

Steve:

From my research when I was researching questions, right,

Steve:

you have Descendants 1, 2, and 3.

Steve:

So it's Descendants 4 is the name of this movie.

Lovella:

No.

Lovella:

No.

Lovella:

It's not.

Lovella:

No.

Steve:

Isn't this a trick question?

Lovella:

It's sort of.

Steve:

Or is there a different title to this movie?

Lovella:

It's different.

Lovella:

Yeah.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

You tell me the answer then.

Lovella:

It's Descendants 4, Rise of Red.

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

Descendants 4, Rise of Red.

Lovella:

Descendants.

Lolly:

It's Descendants, The Rise of Red.

Steve:

Oh.

Steve:

You answered for me.

Steve:

No, we haven't answered yet.

Steve:

I was just saying.

Steve:

I'll let you deliberate a little bit.

Steve:

My answer is Descendants 4.

Steve:

I think it's a trick question.

Lovella:

Descendants 4, the Rise of Red.

Lovella:

Maybe it is just Descendants, the Rise of Red.

Steve:

I'm trying to picture the cover right now to see if there's a 4 on it.

Steve:

We could both be wrong here or you could be right or I could be right.

Steve:

I think it's just Descendants, the Rise of Red.

Lovella:

Maybe.

Steve:

I thought it was a trick question.

Steve:

Okay.

Lovella:

Is there a four in there?

Steve:

I feel like there's not.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

What's your answer, girls?

Lovella:

I think we'll go with yours, Lolly.

Steve:

Descendants, The Rise of Red.

Steve:

Descendants, The Rise of Red.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

I'm going to scroll down on my page and see what the answer is.

Steve:

Here we go.

Steve:

I'm unhiding it.

Steve:

It is Descendants, The Rise of Red.

Steve:

Well done.

Steve:

Okay.
