Oh no! Ah! Wait!
Nobody's ever seen this. I'm gonna cry. Truly an iconic episode.
Hey, I'm Kira Kosarin from The Thundermans.
And today I'm gonna be revisiting and reacting to
some of my classic moments from the show. Let's check 'em out.
God, I'm tiny.
...a normal family. - Yeah. Hit it, sis.
Yep, the first laser eyes; first superpower of the whole thing.
I'll get forks.
Ah, I remember thinking that was so cool when we shot it.
This scene took forever
'cause not only is it like all of the superpowers,
but, like, we were still figuring out the most efficient way to shoot them.
Which they're already time consuming at their most efficient.
God, Jack looks tiny, too. We're so little.
[unintelligible]
Diego, who is that? Who is that human?
--enjoy a nice relaxing--
This is really interesting. We actually shot this in a different way
than anything else. We put him on a green screen
on these, like, parallel bars and have him run in slow mo.
And then they sped it up. We never did that again.
You're gonna fly to Peru (to get hot sauce, aren't you?)
Thunder Man away!
That is (never not funny.)
Wow. In the original pilot, which never aired,
I didn't have telekinesis, I had, like magnetism.
I went, "I'll get the silverware" and I lifted up my hand
and they all came and like stuck to my forearm.
But I remember being resistant to it, at first.
I was like, "Oh, my magnet's so cool" And then as the series came on,
I was like, "Nah". TK's way more practical.
There's a lot more uses for it.
Fun fact, the number on the outside of the house
is the date of the day that we shot the title sequence.
I remember there was a lot of discussion about how we were going to be dressed
in this opening sequence.
'Cause they really wanted it to, like, reflect us.
And this is like a very classic Phoebe outfit
before Phoebe became the like, kind of boho vibe
that she found later in the show.
Yeah, the title sequence. I also remember being really annoyed
when it first came out 'cause I turn
and it kind of freezes me before I hit my full smile.
So, like, if it had another second,
it would be like this, but it was kind of like this.
And everyone was like, "You look fine", but still to this day I watch it,
and I'm like I have crazy eyes in this title sequence.
I already know what this is.
[laughing]
Truly an iconic episode.
We're all here to welcome proper nutrition to Hiddenville High.
What a little nerd.
Ha!
That photo.
I think she's feeling bad--
Oh my God, look at baby Jace.
Wow.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Jace, oh, what a little nugget.
So this is actually before he auditioned for Henry Danger.
And then we tried to get him back on the show 'cause we loved him
and we were like, Flunky has to make a return
and we couldn't get him 'cause he had just started filming,
Henry Danger and he was, he was busy on set.
We were like, "Wow, he's about to be a star."
I definitely remember being on set of Henry Danger
'cause that whole crossover was filmed on their set.
It was really more me and Jack going over to their set.
And I remember just walking around and showing everybody on his set
every embarrassing photo I had of him as a kid.
We were so excited to work with him!
Yo, he's iconic.
He did a bunch of his voices for us.
We asked him and he said, "no" and then he would do them
when we weren't wait, like, weren't expecting it;
catch us off guard.
[gasping]
[fighting]
[mumbling]
Yep, I remember all of this.
Oh, I was so-- my forearms were so bruised after doing that block move all day.
Do do, the kick. Around and then when I do the duck...
I have, I have a video. I'll try to find it for you guys.
...where I duck and the cape, comes over my head,
and I just stand straight up and we just all start laughing.
And Jack and I at the same time, go, "No capes."
The cape was really a pain in the whole sequence, but it looks great.
Um, and that wire pull
and this right here where we jump and connect,
that was my stunt double and his stunt double.
They generally would let us do hand to hand combat ourselves.
But if it was like flying through the air,
or anything where there was rigging involved,
they would have our stunt double to it.
Huh. Pew!
That was Jack's stunt double. That was my stunt double.
All the hand to hand is us though.
But Phoebe's good, she can't do that to her brother.
She should have just taken down, honestly. Jeez, I mean, let's be real.
She's got an opening, finish her Max.
I'm playing.
That's cold.
That's really cold.
Already know what this is to; the bow staff.
I actually had to, like, train with Josh to learn how to use this.
And whenever I have a mop or a broom in my hand
I-I still go to it.
Uh, God, it kept getting stuck on the hand jewelry.
So this is Phoebe in full boho, now.
This is like my style from, like,
beginning of season two to the end of the show really.
And they always had so much jewelry on me.
And the hand pieces would always get caught.
Hey, you two.
There's a blooper actually on YouTube that you can find that Nick posted of me
trying to pick up a hanger
and it getting caught in my hand piece, like three time--
Hey, you two. Every time.
- Grush? - Oh, the gel brush.
It's not just a brush, Phoebe.
It's a gel brush, hair gel and brush.
They made so many jokes about Jack's hair, his swoosh.
Can't wait to see how this blows up in your face.
Literally.
Okay, so that's really interesting and you can actually kind of see it.
You can probably tell if you look really closely here.
The gel isn't actually coming from the brush,
the gel's coming from a tube.
So there's a tube coming out of the end of the brush going through his sleeve.
So this is like the kind of thing where it's such a quick moment
in the show. But there's so much behind the scenes coordination
that has to go on in the show to make it happen
that I don't think a lot of people realize.
Are you sure about this?
Hey... you guys gave up being superheroes so we could live a normal life but--
Maybe this is our normal lives.
... of superheroes is our normal life.
Aww. I got goosies.
What ya say Barb?
Well, I say looks like Thunder Man and Electress are...
(back in action)
Don't forget Thunder Baby.
[Baby]
Thundermans, suit up!
Oh, the suits. The wind on Addie's hair, what a little Beyonce moment.
Oh, Phoebe. Actually--
Ah, one more thing.
It's not the Z-Force anymore. It's the T-Force.
- T's for the Thundermans. - I think...
Yeah, she got it. Ha-ha!
Now, let's get to save the world.
Cute. Gotta do the picture.
And they wanted me to do it exactly like the title sequence.
And it had been years since we shot it, six years.
So I had to, like, remember what I did. Wow. So, fun fact,
that actually was not the last scene that we shot,
which is why I'm not sobbing.
We kind of always thought the show was going to end,
and so we would like, prepare for that.
And then we would like, miraculously get picked up to do more episodes.
And so a lot of the last season, especially, was shot way out of order.
So the actual last scene that we shot
there's footage of, it was like, oh, I say, "Congratulations, Max."
And he says, "Congratulations, Phoebe."
So we talked with our director and we decided that when we had it;
we were, we were sure we had the last shot
like everything was good to go for the final take;
without telling anybody, we were going to say,
"Congratulations, Jack." "Congratulations, Phoebe"
And I thought it was going to be this really sweet moment.
And we got it on camera and we're doing the scene,
my heart is just pounding, like the adrenaline is just unreal.
And we get to my line and I'm like, "Okay, I'm going to say it." And I go
[stammering]
Tears. Just like, couldn't get through it
and I'm just like Con... grad... ula... tions... Max.
And he was like, gee Kira. Congratulations, Kira.
Like, I'm sure he was like, Go on, get through it.
Yeah, I was a real ugly crier that day.
Oh no! Ah! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
This is my original audition. Nobody's ever seen this.
Wait. You guys don't understand.
I'm gonna cry. Wait.
Oh, my God, my hair was so long.
Which I say, because I was a ballerina and I loved my long, wavy ballerina hair.
And when I booked the show, they had me cut it and I cried and cried.
And then they cut it, and I loved it.
And I felt terrible because it was awesome.
I was like, I stand corrected.
[laughing]
[unintelligible]
Think that was my dad's idea.
He coached me on this.
My dad always worked with me on these kinds of auditions.
We were a great, great team.
[unintelligible]
Still are, but--
And I only kinda want to be a normal teenager
and go on dates and learning algebra and to have friends.
I think a casting director had told me I was like 12, like you look good in red.
And I was like, okay, that's the only color
I'll ever wear for the rest of my life.
Good and I'd always wear red.
And I don't; for some reason, I got a call the night before,
this was the final audition.
My manager called me and my agent was like, "Don't wear red."
And I was like, what do you mean, don't wear red? It's my lucky color.
I think it was 'cause I had auditioned for Nickelodeon in other characters
before wearing red, and they didn't want to like confuse 'em.
But I just put together in my brain right now that I wore blue,
and that is the exact color of my super suit.
But wow, that is-- Thank you for finding that.
That's really special.
Thank you.
