Ali gives her visceral, unfiltered reaction to watching an episode of The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder reboot in this special bonus episode. It's a weird one, folks.

Ali discusses all things The Fairly OddParents, diving into "School's Out! The Musical," the uniqueness of the franchise, a whole bunch of classic quotes from the original run of the show (seriously, this episode is mostly quotes), why the early relationship dynamic between Cosmo & Wanda is the absolute cutest (which inadvertently leads to wondering something...), the adorableness that is baby Poof, and a quick FOP story called "A Kiss and a Tie (But Not in That Order)."

Are you ready? Ali and returning guest, Stacey, discuss the Zoey 101 sequel movie, Zoey 102, written by Monica Sherer and Madeline Whitby and directed by Nancy Hower.
