In this episode, Kelly fangirls hard over the revolving door scene while Michael is upset that Oliver is hardly in the movie.

Every now and then you must acknowledge your roots and what led to your success.

That's right it's time for another contentious review in which Kelly does not enjoy this classic DCOM but Michael does! Michael grew up an honorary cheetah whereas Kelly has no memory of ever watching the movies in full because her younger sister liked the cheetahs and therefore Kelly could not.
