Jordan Fisher will always be true to that old school vibe, and hence he put pendulum fans into a whirlpool of nostalgia with a throwback post featuring Sabrina Carpenter for their Netflix 2020 hit ‘Work It.’ The actor and singer left a seemingly meaningless minimal caption stating Carpenter was “the queen herself.” Still, the internet had a WHOLE lot more to say about it.

The image’s release brought a sudden emotional rush to those who loved the film and can’t get over it-the dance comedy: “That scene altered my brain chemistry. Wish I could watch it again for the first time.” Couldn’t have been said better, but honestly? Mood. I’m sure that film must have a scar in the hearts of millions: “This went 10 times platinum in my room, 2020,” another user joked. Same, bestie. Same.
It hit hard with nostalgia to where many confessed they had been watching the movie these past days. “I’m not even joking I just finished re-watching that movie 10 minutes ago,” an amazed fan wrote, whereas another confessed to “at least 2 times a year.” Now, that’s dedication.
Here’s some real tea: the post let a secret slip revealing that many haven’t yet had eyes on from this gem. “Ok HOW have I never seen this??” one clueless user asked before others insisted they must just drop everything and go watch it on Netflix. As they should.
The comment section is moving on hyperdrive, overflowing with the celebration of ‘Work It,’ with fans eagerly discussing specific scenes and begging for a sequel. “petition for Work It 2??!!” declared one hyperactive viewer, with others debating whether the cast would come together for real in another. (Mall Spoiler: Probably not, but a girl can dream!)
The wild part is just how fast the throwback was picked up by the fans: “The way I knew so fast what movie this will be,” one of them wrote, and so I went from having the visuals of the film implanted into my mind to being totally aware. And really? That’s what sure-fire iconic movie moments do.
Still, four years after their popularity had reached its zenith, the love so massive now that a college assignment was written on it. THAT’S impact! Fisher’s easy little drop-of-a-post turned out to be the biggest litmus test ever for whether or not the guy has good taste – and by the responses, his followers aced it with flying colors.
That throwback sparked some hilarious debates, like whether Sabrina Carpenter would even have time to shoot a sequel now that her music career is blowing up. (Spoiler again: Nope. Girl’s booked.) But hey, a fan can dream.
Fisher may have done it again: establishing the truth that the great ones make memories that last forever, of which ‘Work It’ has clearly carved a huge chunk in a lot of minds. Those comments looked like a love letter to the movie with fans baring their hearts about what it made them feel and quoting their favorite moments. Not bad for an oh-so-random Thursday evening throwback.

Maybe Netflix could jump on that super unplanned viral wave and consider a sequel after all. Until then, we’ll be rewatching the original overseas for the 50th time, pretending we can half-dance like them!
