2:11
Speaker 1: be like, don't worry you guys, nobody's gonna pick up
2:13
Speaker 1: the phone because we don't want to talk to anybody. No.
2:16
Speaker 1: I think it's a very someone pointed out that's a
2:18
Speaker 1: very millennial concern. You and I are not millennials. We're
2:20
Speaker 1: older than that. But you know, millennials don't like to
2:22
Speaker 1: talk on the phone. I don't like to talk on
2:24
Speaker 1: the phone. No, neither do I. I have to like work
2:26
Speaker 1: myself up to it too, Like we have just been conditioned.
2:31
Speaker 1: You know, growing up, my mom was like a talk
2:35
Speaker 1: on the phone or like she would talk to her friends.
2:38
Speaker 1: You knew, don't interrupt mom when she's on the phone. Yeah.
2:41
Speaker 1: And in fact, can I tell you a story. When
2:43
Speaker 1: I was a child, I had the same recurring nightmare.
2:47
Speaker 1: I can envision it now. It was in my childhood
2:51
Speaker 1: home and I was in the family room and there
2:54
Speaker 1: was a like cartoon bad guy in this dream, huh,
3:00
Speaker 1: riding on the back of a cartoon like happy dragon,
3:03
Speaker 1: like not a scary dragon. And I know, I'm sure
3:07
Speaker 1: someone could psychoanalyze me. And I was trying to get
3:11
Speaker 1: my mom's attention, but she was on the phone, and
3:13
Speaker 1: I would go to try and get my dad's attention,
3:15
Speaker 1: and he was asleep, and then I would wake up,
3:17
Speaker 1: and I had that dream over and over and over.
3:20
Speaker 1: I can and no, I was not a neglected child.
3:22
Speaker 1: My parents were both very active in my life. But
3:24
Speaker 1: I can still envision that dream to this day. I
3:26
Speaker 1: wonder what all that means. I don't know. Hmm. I
3:30
Speaker 1: can tell you the phone was not allowed to ring
3:32
Speaker 1: at our house after nine pm. So if one of
3:34
Speaker 1: my friends call Big Trouble, Big trouble. Yeah, my greatest
3:40
Speaker 1: childhood teenage coup was having my own phone line, girl.
3:44
Speaker 1: And this is in the early days of call waiting,
3:47
Speaker 1: and my mom thought call waiting was incredibly rude. So
3:49
Speaker 1: what she did was she set up call forwarding from
3:53
Speaker 1: her phone line to mine so that if she was
3:56
Speaker 1: on the phone, it would ring on my line and
3:58
Speaker 1: I had call waiting. Then I would sometimes have to
4:01
Speaker 1: get off the phone. You know. That was the trait
4:04
Speaker 1: for having your own phone line. Got it? And I
4:05
Speaker 1: can vividly remember like a bad report card would come home,
4:08
Speaker 1: and I'd come home and like my phone would be
4:10
Speaker 1: unplugged in the report card would be in its passive
4:14
Speaker 1: aggressive They were savage. That is savage. That's some shit
4:19
Speaker 1: I would do now, and I love it tatoo too.
4:22
Speaker 1: So let's before we jump into our thoughts on this
4:26
Speaker 1: episode of Science Sealed Delivered, can we talk the hallmark
4:30
Speaker 1: of it all? Sure, there was a lot of chatter
4:34
Speaker 1: around this movie mm hmm, or chatter about the lack
4:38
Speaker 1: thereof of chatter about this movie, So you may listeners
4:42
Speaker 1: may or may not have noticed. There was no promotion
4:46
Speaker 1: of this movie. There was no movie poster, there was
4:49
Speaker 1: no trailer. There was no commercial, there was no social
4:54
Speaker 1: media promotion. Officially, there was no official Facebook live with
4:58
Speaker 1: the cast. None of that was done. This movie doesn't
5:01
Speaker 1: even exist on the press site in SI Baseball. The
5:06
Speaker 1: actors individually did post about it on social media, as
5:09
Speaker 1: did the creator and writer of this show, Martha Williamson,
5:13
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of frustration from some diehard
5:16
Speaker 1: signed sealed delivered chance. What are your thoughts on that?
5:20
Speaker 1: I am of two minds, let me hear. I really
5:24
Speaker 1: love this series. It's a very special series, and so
5:28
Speaker 1: knowing that this is the last movie that has been created,
5:31
Speaker 1: who knows what the future of the series is. I
5:34
Speaker 1: want to see it promoted, especially a series that has
5:37
Speaker 1: existed over such a long period of time and there's
5:39
Speaker 1: such big gaps between the movies. I think it's nice
5:42
Speaker 1: to remind the viewers of what's coming mm hm. So
5:45
Speaker 1: as a fan, I'm sad that it didn't get that
5:48
Speaker 1: because I am such a big fan of the people involved.
5:51
Speaker 1: You know how much we love Kristin and Crystal. And
5:55
Speaker 1: as from a business perspective, I do kind of under
6:00
Speaker 1: stand Hallmark's decision to stick their head in the stand
6:04
Speaker 1: and avoid potential criticism from those who might not love
6:09
Speaker 1: them promoting a movie with a person who is currently
6:11
Speaker 1: in the public eye for some decisions that they may
6:16
Speaker 1: not agree with, Right, So you can you can see
6:19
Speaker 1: both sides. Yeah, Like on a personal level, i'd like, yeah,
6:21
Speaker 1: I stick my head and they stand too. I don't
6:23
Speaker 1: want to. I don't I don't want to hear it.
6:25
Speaker 1: A Hallmark is so fiercely protective of their brand that
6:27
Speaker 1: it is zero percent surprising to me that they made
6:30
Speaker 1: the choice. Oh, one hundred percent. I mean yes, zero
6:34
Speaker 1: percent surprising, but also a little like what, Yeah, that's
6:41
Speaker 1: not even a promotional poster, Like, yeah, like it's not
6:45
Speaker 1: doesn't even exist. Yeah, Like if you go to search
6:48
Speaker 1: for it again inside Baseball, if you go to search
6:51
Speaker 1: for it on the Hallmark Press site, which I guess
6:53
Speaker 1: like content creators like ourselves have access to, it does
6:57
Speaker 1: not exist, right, It is bizarre to me. But again
7:02
Speaker 1: on the flip side, I guess I kind of understand. Yeah,
7:05
Speaker 1: And it was interesting to see some of the speculation
7:07
Speaker 1: of the reasons why it was being done. To me,
7:10
Speaker 1: it's very clear there is no reason to speculate. I
7:13
Speaker 1: feel like I know exactly why they buried it. Some
7:16
Speaker 1: people tap danced so hard to try and find other
7:23
Speaker 1: reasons why Hallmark like what people felt like. I saw
7:26
Speaker 1: a commentary that said Hallmark is now too diverse and
7:29
Speaker 1: this show is too wholesome for the network. I so
7:32
Speaker 1: strongly disagree with. Oh my god, the amount of eye
7:35
Speaker 1: rolling I just did. It's first of all, too diverse
7:40
Speaker 1: is a wild combination of words, and second of all,
7:44
Speaker 1: no it's not. So what do you think about all this?
7:48
Speaker 1: I feel disappointed because if I'm going to look at
7:53
Speaker 1: the franchise as a whole, I don't have high hopes
7:58
Speaker 1: that it's going to continue. And that makes me sad
8:01
Speaker 1: as a fan, because I have such a special place
8:04
Speaker 1: in my heart for this series, especially after last year
8:08
Speaker 1: when we did like the full back to back all
8:11
Speaker 1: summer long. Yeah, you know it is a special series. Yeah,
8:19
Speaker 1: I agree, they have done something really incredible. Martha Williamson
8:24
Speaker 1: is incredible. I really enjoy the actors and the cast
8:27
Speaker 1: and the crew and everybody who's put work into it.
8:29
Speaker 1: So it makes me kind of sad, like if this
8:32
Speaker 1: was it, that this is how we say goodbye to it,
8:37
Speaker 1: it makes me sad. I agree, it makes me sad
8:40
Speaker 1: as of this morning when we are recording this, our
8:45
Speaker 1: friends over at deliver Me a podcast on Instagram shared
8:51
Speaker 1: the live and same date viewers' numbers for this movie. Yeah,
8:58
Speaker 1: are you curious? Very one point one one two million.
9:02
Speaker 1: That's big numbers for an April release. It's point zero
9:07
Speaker 1: eight of the demo number eleven top prime time telecasts
9:12
Speaker 1: for a movie that wasn't promoted at all, zero percent promotion.
9:16
Speaker 1: They have a huge fan base, a huge fan base,
9:19
Speaker 1: and a very dedicated fan base. Yes, and I did
9:22
Speaker 1: feel like some of the cast and crew, like you
9:25
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Martha Williamson put out a really nice video
9:30
Speaker 1: on Instagram. I've never heard her talk in real moving,
9:36
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah, you're like, oh, now, I see how
9:39
Speaker 1: you were the person who created this masterful series totally.
9:42
Speaker 1: And then Kristen Booth was like, had the weight of
9:47
Speaker 1: the movie on her shoulders, don the hard work promoting
9:51
Speaker 1: the hell out of it in the days leading up
9:53
Speaker 1: to it. So I'm not surprised by the one point
9:56
Speaker 1: one one two million live and same debuters. That's that's
10:00
Speaker 1: big numbers, big numbers. I don't know how as a
10:03
Speaker 1: network you go all right, bye, right? I don't work
10:08
Speaker 1: for Hallmark, so I don't make those decisions. Some people
10:11
Speaker 1: think we do, though, Wow, some of your emails and comments,
10:13
Speaker 1: you guys, we don't work for Hallmark. That's all. Yeah.
10:17
Speaker 1: A little later in this episode, I'd like to talk
10:18

12:08
Speaker 1: She has forty six acting credits and was last seen

Speaker 1: on Hallmark in Sugar Plums. According to IMDb, Sarah Ferguson
12:16
Speaker 1: like the Duchess is that correct? Huh? Was in this movie?
12:22
Speaker 1: I never saw her? She plays a bartender. I'm like,
12:26
Speaker 1: when were they even at like Ramones? Yeah, Well, what's
12:30
Speaker 1: funny is you posted about this in our Facebook group
12:31
Speaker 1: and someone was like, oh, must be someone with the
12:33
Speaker 1: same name. And it's very clearly tagged as Sarah Ferguson
12:37
Speaker 1: as in Fergie the Duchess. So who I am aware
12:43
Speaker 1: that she's divorced and may not actually still carry that
12:45
Speaker 1: title anymore. Nevertheless, that's that's who she is. That's how
12:48
Speaker 1: we're identifying her. I never saw her. I never saw
12:52
Speaker 1: her either. And by the way, any Yahoo can like
12:55
Speaker 1: add anybody to an imdtist. This has to just be
13:02
Speaker 1: like a wild mistake. Yeah, sure, because when I asked,
13:06
Speaker 1: some of the postables came back very defiantly that she
13:11
Speaker 1: did not appear in this movie. They're paying close attention,
13:14
Speaker 1: They're playing, They're paying real close attention. You may recall
13:17
Speaker 1: A Tale of Three Letters and To the Moon and
13:19
Speaker 1: Back were filmed back to back in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
13:22
Speaker 1: Production for both movies wrapped last year in May twenty
13:26
Speaker 1: twenty four. We're gonna take a quick break and we're
13:29
Speaker 1: gonna come right back with our first impressions. Hey, Wendy,
13:41
Speaker 1: what was your first impression of to the Moon and that? Well,
13:44
Speaker 1: Hallmark thought mystery when a one fans were mad about
13:47
Speaker 1: their cliffhanger. Wait till the Postables get a hold of
13:53
Speaker 1: this one. Had your children, had your wives? I mean,
13:56
Speaker 1: these folks have already generated a petition. So oh well,
14:01
Speaker 1: let's talk about the cliffhanger in a minute. Okay. My
14:03
Speaker 1: first impression is a little bit milder, and I'm just
14:07
Speaker 1: so glad to be back among my friends. Oh I
14:09
Speaker 1: have some thoughts about that, okay, but it's in the likes,
14:12
Speaker 1: so I mean that is where my likes start. Go ahead.
14:15
Speaker 1: When I was watching this movie, when people talk about
14:18
Speaker 1: cozy movies, this is a cozy series for me. Mm hmmm.
14:23
Speaker 1: And I really thought after a Tale of Three Letters,
14:28
Speaker 1: where I felt like some of our Postbles had lost
14:30
Speaker 1: their way. We were seeing sides of them that I
14:33
Speaker 1: didn't really feel were true to their characters. I felt like,
14:37
Speaker 1: this is who they are we're back. Everything about them
14:42
Speaker 1: felt like exactly who I expected them to be, and
14:46
Speaker 1: it was just so nice to spend time with them again.
14:49
Speaker 1: I feel the same way, especially after last summer. If
14:53
Speaker 1: I was like theig I don't want to say casual viewer,
14:56
Speaker 1: but if I had watched this series over the last
14:58
Speaker 1: like how many years it's been on, I'd be like, oh, great,
15:01
Speaker 1: another Sigin Sealed movie. But because we watched it all
15:05
Speaker 1: just sort of recently, these people feel like cozy family
15:10
Speaker 1: that I was like so happy to see again, and
15:13
Speaker 1: especially because we have talked to Crystal and Kristen on
15:19
Speaker 1: the podcast here and they're like such lovely people, Like
15:22
Speaker 1: it was just nice to see everybody Like I was like, oh,
15:27
Speaker 1: in my head, there's my friends on TV. Yes I'm
15:30
Speaker 1: not suggesting at all for one minute that Kristin Booth
15:34
Speaker 1: and Crystal Low even remember my name or the name
15:37
Speaker 1: of the podcast that I'm on. So I don't think
15:39
Speaker 1: that they think I'm a friend. But do you know
15:42
Speaker 1: what I am? Yes? That is what this series does. Yeah,
15:46
Speaker 1: they make you feel like you are one of That's
15:49
Speaker 1: why they have engendered such a huge fan base. I'm
15:52
Speaker 1: such a devoted fan base because we are not the
15:54
Speaker 1: only people that feel like that. You know, we've gotten
15:59
Speaker 1: to know again. I'm not suggesting that Crystal Low thinks
16:02
Speaker 1: of us for one second outside of the time that
16:04
Speaker 1: she's on our podcast, but we've gotten to know her
16:06
Speaker 1: a little bit. I feel like I understand her as
16:08
Speaker 1: a human and every since that, you know, we met
16:12
Speaker 1: Rita first, then we met crysteal Low the human, and
16:15
Speaker 1: now seeing her as Rita again, it's even more stunning
16:19
Speaker 1: to me how well she embodies this character of Rita totally,
16:23
Speaker 1: who is really outside of Kristen's natural way of being,
16:30
Speaker 1: And it's just so fun to watch her just like
16:34
Speaker 1: suttle right back into this person I was gonna say,
16:36
Speaker 1: like morph back into this person she is. I love
16:39
Speaker 1: Rita And if anybody recalls my reviews from last summer,
16:43
Speaker 1: I went on kind of a journey with Rita. Rita
16:46
Speaker 1: was a slow burn for you, But I freaking love Rita.
16:51
Speaker 1: I love her. I'm like so excited for her while
16:54
Speaker 1: watching this movie, like she's expecting a baby and they
16:57
Speaker 1: are adopting a baby, and I'm thrilled. I know. I
17:02
Speaker 1: just love the character of Rita and I love the
17:05
Speaker 1: character of Norman so so much like I wish these
17:09
Speaker 1: people like existed in my real life. I know, like
17:12
Speaker 1: the characters what I mean, I know sound like a
17:16
Speaker 1: deranged No. Look man, there's some great things to love
17:19
Speaker 1: about this movie. I one of the running there's a
17:23
Speaker 1: lot of continued running bits through this movie, like some
17:26
Speaker 1: that are established in this movie and run throughout, and
17:29
Speaker 1: some that are established in this series. And one of
17:31
Speaker 1: those is Norman's foster care sibling, kind of the rotating
17:35
Speaker 1: door of them. And I'm glad we continued that. I
17:38
Speaker 1: thought the addition of Hans was perfect. It made perfect sense.
17:43
Speaker 1: They barely interact like they see each other. It's like
17:45
Speaker 1: Hi Norman, Hi Hans, and they move on. But the
17:49
Speaker 1: way they wove it in Joe's like how many siblings
17:52
Speaker 1: does he have? And Oliver comments like, oh marriad and
17:55
Speaker 1: then we just see Hans come in and he fully
17:57
Speaker 1: gets Oliver's vision. I love the addition of that character
18:01
Speaker 1: as opposed to just annual random schmoke contractor yeah, make
18:06
Speaker 1: it one of Norman simile. Yeah, it doesn't like lend
18:09
Speaker 1: itself to the overall storytelling. Yeah, it's totally worse. Like
18:12
Speaker 1: my notes say that these through lines are what make
18:16
Speaker 1: this series feel like a warm hug to me. And
18:19
Speaker 1: I know that sounds like schmaltzy and cheesy, and I'm
18:21
Speaker 1: not sorry, because that is how this series feels to me.
18:25
Speaker 1: Well that's a really interesting point because some of the
18:29
Speaker 1: criticism I've seen since this movie premiered was that there
18:35
Speaker 1: wasn't enough emphasis on like the mystery part of the story,
18:39
Speaker 1: which you know, like the the letter they find and
18:42
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, right, And I have seen
18:46
Speaker 1: the postable fans be like, uh, this is what the
18:50
Speaker 1: entire series is about. It's about these four people. Like
18:54
Speaker 1: the mystery part of it is secondary, secondary, totally so
19:00
Speaker 1: even and they told a complete story in my opinion
19:02
Speaker 1: with the mystery. I agree, and I have a lot
19:06
Speaker 1: of wishes sure about that, and I know we'll get
19:10
Speaker 1: into it. But I think at the core this series
19:15
Speaker 1: is about the four people course, and there are a
19:17
Speaker 1: little like spin offs of like who they are as
19:20
Speaker 1: people and their families and whatever. And that's what is
19:24
Speaker 1: so beautiful and andearing about this movie, or you know,
19:31
Speaker 1: installment of this movie. Anyway. I was recently looking at
19:35
Speaker 1: our episode where we interviewed Crystal Low and one of
19:39
Speaker 1: the things she said, is her goal as a director
19:41
Speaker 1: is to make you laugh and then to make you cry.
19:43
Speaker 1: And I think that is a good way to point
19:46
Speaker 1: out that this episode, this movie within the series, has
19:52
Speaker 1: some parts that really struck me as funny. Rita's bottomless appetite.
19:57
Speaker 1: It's just such like a light funny way tomorrow time,
20:01
Speaker 1: you know, to remind us of the pregnancy, for her
20:04
Speaker 1: and Shane to experience it in different ways. Yeah yees,
20:08
Speaker 1: especially because they're not like showing yeah. So it's a
20:12
Speaker 1: great reminder of like, oh, hey, this woman is pregnant,
20:16
Speaker 1: and it is kind of a funny stereotype of like
20:19
Speaker 1: this bottomless pit of wanting to eat everything. Yes, yeah, yeah.
20:24
Speaker 1: When they talk about going to the concert and she's like, oh,
20:26
Speaker 1: we have backsage passes and Rita's like, oh, did you
20:28
Speaker 1: just hack into the Las Vegas ticketing system? Love it.
20:32
Speaker 1: Like Shane's character is very sweet and very warm and
20:35
Speaker 1: very kind, and then she's also this like kick ass
20:38
Speaker 1: white hat hacker who's over here. Just like totally love that.
20:42
Speaker 1: I wish we could like get more into that. I know.
20:45
Speaker 1: I feel like they walk a very careful line with them,
20:47
Speaker 1: like they don't want to make her a criminal. Yeah,
20:51
Speaker 1: because Oliver it's sent her asked to Jaf, I will
20:53
Speaker 1: talk more about that rise, and he doesn't have it
20:56
Speaker 1: more issue with it, And and then are sweet Norman.
21:01
Speaker 1: Wayne Ramon is trying to bring them mimosas, and he's
21:03
Speaker 1: like he just can't get the mimosa off the tray.
21:06
Speaker 1: Oh my god, sweeps them away. He's like, I like mimosas,
21:09
Speaker 1: so funny. And then like his continued popping his head
21:12
Speaker 1: back in when they're trying to leave and they're late,
21:14
Speaker 1: and he's like, we're double parked, and he's like, honking,
21:17
Speaker 1: people are honking. I just love Norman. Do you have
21:20
Speaker 1: any thoughts on Oliver. Oliver's not funny to me in
21:24
Speaker 1: this movie, if that's what you're asking. He doesn't play
21:28
Speaker 1: along with the bits I so you had mentioned, and
21:31
Speaker 1: I had completely forgotten about a Tale of three Letters
21:34
Speaker 1: and how specifically Oliver was not his normal. I actually
21:41
Speaker 1: think it was Shane who wasn't her normal, So I
21:43
Speaker 1: think it a tail of three letters. A lot of
21:45
Speaker 1: the conflict is like that Shane is thoughtless, like she's
21:48
Speaker 1: leaving her stuff everywhere and she's a mess, and and
21:50
Speaker 1: I'm like that's not who we've ever known Shane to be.
21:53
Speaker 1: I feel like Oliver has always been his fastidious self. Yes, yes,
21:58
Speaker 1: but let me let me remind you. Oliver had an
22:03
Speaker 1: issue with Charlie in Last Last in that last movie,
22:06
Speaker 1: and he was kind of mean to her at one point,
22:09
Speaker 1: That's what I remember. Yeah, And I was like, that
22:11
Speaker 1: is so out of pocket for him. What was that about?
22:15
Speaker 1: Do you remember? I don't remember. I don't remember the specifics.
22:19
Speaker 1: I just remember like he was kind of not nice.
22:21
Speaker 1: My feeling about Oliver in this movie. Oliver felt like
22:24
Speaker 1: Oliver to me. Oliver felt like Oliver Ish to me.
22:28
Speaker 1: He comes up a lot in my wishes. Okay, we'll
22:30
Speaker 1: get to him eventually. Look. One of the funniest remarks
22:34
Speaker 1: is from our Facebook group where Wayne said, if Oliver
22:37
Speaker 1: were any brooti or he would have been Batman. I
22:39
Speaker 1: just think that's who Oliver is. Oliver and Change's relationship
22:42
Speaker 1: took so long to come to fruition that because Oliver
22:44
Speaker 1: had to just really brood over if he was the
22:48
Speaker 1: kind of person who could do this. Oliver has so
22:53
Speaker 1: much baggage. I know Oliver took a very long time
22:58
Speaker 1: to believe himself worthy of being loved and that did
23:02
Speaker 1: not go away when he and Shane got married, right,
23:05
Speaker 1: and he's still carrying that baggage as we see in
23:08
Speaker 1: his relationship with Joe in this episode. I'm looking over
23:13
Speaker 1: our notes. I want you to talk about the absolutely
23:15
Speaker 1: best line of this episode. I have a lot of
23:17
Speaker 1: thoughts on Oliver's conflict with Joe, but the best thing
23:21
Speaker 1: to come out of that was It's actually one of
23:24
Speaker 1: my overall favorite experiences in this episode was that conflict.
23:28
Speaker 1: But when Shane says to Aliver, Harvey gave you life,
23:32
Speaker 1: but Joe gave you a life, and I just got
23:36
Speaker 1: chills with you saying it right now. I got chills
23:37
Speaker 1: when I saw it originally in the movie too, and
23:40
Speaker 1: again right now. The special thing about it is during
23:42
Speaker 1: that scene, we flash on Joe walking through the attic,
23:46
Speaker 1: the attic where the Sday box was, but we see
23:49
Speaker 1: all of these boxes of like Oliver's life. It's like
23:52
Speaker 1: books and Halloween. I don't even remember what it is,
23:55
Speaker 1: but it's just little mementos that every family has of
23:58
Speaker 1: their child. And your reminded that Joe has his hand
24:02
Speaker 1: over all of that, right like Harvey had this little
24:05
Speaker 1: box and that's nice and lovely, and that relationship is
24:10
Speaker 1: complicated and Harvey couldn't be in his life. But look
24:14
Speaker 1: who Joe was, right. Yeah, I love Gregory Harrison. I
24:20
Speaker 1: love him in this role as Joe. He is one
24:24
Speaker 1: of the like standout recurring characters to come from this franchise.
24:30
Speaker 1: I just really enjoy him so much. So when Shane
24:36
Speaker 1: and Oliver get a call from their doctor, what were
24:39
Speaker 1: you expecting bad news? Yeah? Me too, And I'm so
24:43
Speaker 1: glad it wasn't that. They're like, oh, Shane might have
24:45
Speaker 1: gestational diabetes. I'm like, all right, not that. I feel like,
24:48
Speaker 1: if you're dealing with that, it's not an additional thing
24:51
Speaker 1: to contend with when pregnancy is already kind of fraught.
24:53
Speaker 1: But this is not an uncommon thing. This is thing
24:55
Speaker 1: that women manage like. It is manageable with medication, of course,
25:00
Speaker 1: aditional complications. But I was glad that if they're going
25:02
Speaker 1: to introduce a complication to one of these pregnancies, you know,
25:06
Speaker 1: they talk about her geriatric pregnancy and they talk about
25:08
Speaker 1: the potential of additional risk. It was a light hand
25:12
Speaker 1: on it. It was a light hand, but I did
25:15
Speaker 1: feel fearful, like almost the entire movie, and not because
25:20
Speaker 1: of like the potential of having gestational diabetes, but it
25:24
Speaker 1: was kind of earlier than that. They were like setting
25:27
Speaker 1: the tone where you have like Rita experiencing a different
25:31
Speaker 1: type of pregnancy than Shane. And I was like, is
25:35
Speaker 1: this going to end badly? Because Martha's not afraid of
25:38
Speaker 1: difficult subjects? Right, Yeah, I'm glad. I'm I don't want to.
25:44
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not trying to be like minimize how
25:48
Speaker 1: scary gestational diabetes can be or how dangerous, but I'm glad.
25:53
Speaker 1: It was just that, Yeah, for sure. And that is
25:55
Speaker 1: one of those things that like it goes away when
25:57
Speaker 1: the baby is born. Mm, so like if you can
25:59
Speaker 1: safely get it to delivery, it's gone, right, it is
26:03
Speaker 1: resolved when the pregnancy. I do have some further thoughts
26:08
Speaker 1: about this particular storyline that has to do with Oliver,
26:11
Speaker 1: And did I just say particular twice? I have some
26:15
Speaker 1: additional thoughts about it, but it specifically has to do
26:17
Speaker 1: with Oliver, and it's going to be in the wishes. Okay.
26:20
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure where to put this. What did you
26:22
Speaker 1: think about the we're expecting bit? The who's on first
26:25
Speaker 1: of it all? Well, I saw a preview of it,
26:27
Speaker 1: and it leave me several weeks ago, because if you
26:30
Speaker 1: didn't know, this movie did air in another country several
26:34
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so it was kind of like floating around
26:37
Speaker 1: out there a little bit. Yeah, and when I saw it,
26:39
Speaker 1: I was so excited. I love I love that seeing.
26:42
Speaker 1: I love Kristin and Crystal together. Please give me a
26:45
Speaker 1: spinoff show, not a spinoff show, but give me like
26:48
Speaker 1: a whole new franchise with these two. I just love
26:52
Speaker 1: them so much. Yeah, and I thought they were very
26:54
Speaker 1: funny together. Did you hate it? I thought No, I
26:57
Speaker 1: didn't hate it. I thought it walked a very fine line.
27:00
Speaker 1: You're expecting, we're expect there's two babies, there's my babies.
27:02
Speaker 1: There's four babies. It's too much for you. But when
27:05
Speaker 1: it ends and they look at each other and they say,
27:07
Speaker 1: we're pregnant, Like, I like, really liked that moment. Of course,
27:12
Speaker 1: we're pregnant. You didn't drink about Moosa? Yeah, I mean
27:16
Speaker 1: obviously it was so obvious sure to the viewer here,
27:20
Speaker 1: But I love like how Norman was all confused and like,
27:23
Speaker 1: you know, it was cute. I'm sure there are people
27:27
Speaker 1: who hated it. Let's talk witious. Okay, I'm just gonna
27:30
Speaker 1: get into Oliver if I can. It was kind of
27:33
Speaker 1: interesting to see him kind of spin out over the
27:39
Speaker 1: possibility that Shane would be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The
27:46
Speaker 1: man spun out like he was like not himself. I
27:49
Speaker 1: thought brooding. He was like his letters. It wasn't it
27:57
Speaker 1: all led into the letters. It was interesting seeing how
28:01
Speaker 1: they connected all the Martha essentially connected all those dots.
28:06
Speaker 1: It wasn't spinning out about Shane's potential of having diabetes,
28:11
Speaker 1: but it was interesting to make the connection of like,
28:15
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about my biological father. I only
28:19
Speaker 1: know Joe. It just it worked out well. It came
28:23
Speaker 1: together nicely for me. And so even though that sounds
28:26
Speaker 1: like alike, what the wish was? I I didn't enjoy
28:31
Speaker 1: all of HER's character moves. Yeah, that's what it comes
28:35
Speaker 1: down to me. Last in the last movie, he was
28:38
Speaker 1: kind of like in this movie I got. I thought
28:40
Speaker 1: he wasn't like the Oliver from early days. Yeah. The
28:46
Speaker 1: for me, I struggled with Oliver's behavior, his reaction to
28:51
Speaker 1: Joe over. Yeah, so this the Sunday Box is a
28:54
Speaker 1: huge storyline. Okay, and I had a lot of thoughts
28:58
Speaker 1: at first. When Joe gives him the box when they're
29:00
Speaker 1: about to leave on a road trip, I thought, well,
29:01
Speaker 1: that's very odd timing. I mean, it makes sense for
29:04
Speaker 1: the movie gives them something to do, but I just
29:06
Speaker 1: thought Joe would be more thoughtful than that. And then
29:09
Speaker 1: for Oliver to react in such a way. Oliver is
29:13
Speaker 1: such a thoughtful person for him to not really think
29:16
Speaker 1: through what Joe's motivations might have been. I found it
29:19
Speaker 1: surprising when he was angry at Joe, when he took
29:22
Speaker 1: that anger and perhaps the sense of loss he was
29:25
Speaker 1: feeling about this is what could have been. This is
29:27
Speaker 1: the relationship I could have had that I never knew,
29:30
Speaker 1: and he turned it on Joe because Harvey's gone. I
29:34
Speaker 1: found it really unfair. Hmm. I understood a little bit
29:39
Speaker 1: Oliver's feeling of frustration, like you had this my whole
29:42
Speaker 1: life and I never had access to it. But I
29:45
Speaker 1: also really understood Joe saying to him, look, I've kind
29:49
Speaker 1: of forgot about it, like I put it up there
29:52
Speaker 1: because you were not ready, Like we lost your mom,
29:55
Speaker 1: you weren't ready. And then he was like I didn't
29:58
Speaker 1: want to compete with him that man existed in a
30:01
Speaker 1: box of letters that he had time to prepare, and
30:04
Speaker 1: he never had to be a parent, right, He never
30:06
Speaker 1: had to do any of the hard stuff. He never
30:08
Speaker 1: had to tell you, no, he never had to walk
30:12
Speaker 1: you through life. And that was a standard that Joe
30:14
Speaker 1: couldn't live up to. And I fully got that. Yeah, totally.
30:17
Speaker 1: I thought that exploration of emotions between father and son
30:21
Speaker 1: was well done. I think it's the best work in
30:24
Speaker 1: this movie. Yeah, when they had that conversation sitting on
30:27
Speaker 1: the stairs, Yeah, one of the best scenes. Like, I'm
30:31
Speaker 1: not dogging on all of our guys, not by any means.
30:34
Speaker 1: It's just some of like his emotions don't make sense
30:38
Speaker 1: to me, and that's where the frustration comes from. But
30:43
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You know, how like have you
30:47
Speaker 1: seen have you seen the tiktoks recently where it's like
30:52
Speaker 1: a daughter and a mom or like a son and
30:55
Speaker 1: a mom, And it's like, I have to remember, this
30:58
Speaker 1: is her first time going through this too, So I
31:02
Speaker 1: can like give Joe grace for that because this is
31:07
Speaker 1: he's doing this all for the first time as well,
31:10
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't have all the right answers. We have
31:12
Speaker 1: to we have to stop expecting everybody to have the
31:14
Speaker 1: right answers all the time or do the right things
31:17
Speaker 1: all the time. Anyway, Okay, all right, we need to
31:22
Speaker 1: zuck about the arrest. This is my other beef with Oliver.
31:27
Speaker 1: He felt very cold in terms of like turning this
31:31
Speaker 1: woman in. He's like, well, you broke a law. You
31:35
Speaker 1: gotta go to jail for it. I'm Oliver here, you're
31:37
Speaker 1: so black and white about this stuff. I know, I know,
31:40
Speaker 1: I know. I'm not saying that I would be easy,
31:42
Speaker 1: but yeah, to me, you got to turn around. Now
31:44
Speaker 1: you're gonna live with with the guilt of knowing that
31:47
Speaker 1: you know where this woman is and now you're harboring
31:49
Speaker 1: her innocence. But it's kind of a harmless crime. Yes,
31:53
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. And my hope is like in this
31:56
Speaker 1: magical world where this next movie that doesn't exist half ends,
32:01
Speaker 1: like the FBI is like, oh, well, she wasn't the
32:04
Speaker 1: perpetrator of this crime, like she was trying to protect
32:07
Speaker 1: her daughters. I get Oliver. She knew where he was,
32:12
Speaker 1: she knew he had committed this crime, and she never
32:14
Speaker 1: told anybody, Like she just lived with this man. I
32:18
Speaker 1: don't question her decision making and I'm not saying I
32:22
Speaker 1: would have done anything differently, but Centry emails two girls
32:24
Speaker 1: gone homework at gmail dot com. Attention Megan. He did
32:28
Speaker 1: the right thing. I sobbed in that scene or they
32:34
Speaker 1: take her away where he walks her out to the
32:37
Speaker 1: she's fricking walk give me a break, Like, I think
32:42
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things happening in our world that
32:45
Speaker 1: is like feeding into like my anger about this story.
32:50
Speaker 1: In course, why is the mom the one that has
32:52
Speaker 1: to go to jail? Like it sucks? Where's the dad?
32:54
Speaker 1: He disappeared like him made the crime. No, I'm not
32:58
Speaker 1: saying it's fair. I'm not saying it's fair. And yeah,
33:03
Speaker 1: it just made me so mad. It just made me
33:05
Speaker 1: so mad. I wanted I wanted Oliver and Shane and
33:12
Speaker 1: Norman and Rita to like come up with some sort
33:16
Speaker 1: of solution, some magical sitcom solution that allowed her to
33:21
Speaker 1: live in But there was no solution that was ever
33:24
Speaker 1: going to allow her to live a public life with
33:26
Speaker 1: her daughter where she's not in hiding. Oliver has a
33:29
Speaker 1: shit ton of money. He couldn't hire her a really
33:32
Speaker 1: good lawyer, and who's to say he doesn't. He was
33:36
Speaker 1: like bye, she was in freaking handcuffs, wash in handcuffs,
33:41
Speaker 1: I can't remember. But and then I also had a
33:45
Speaker 1: problem the oldest daughter, the girl who sings the songwriter,
33:51
Speaker 1: and we have in that opening scene, like there's police
33:55
Speaker 1: like looking at people's ideas. Right, she was a victim
33:59
Speaker 1: in this crime. Her father was the one who committed
34:02
Speaker 1: the crime. She was a minor. Like, I get that
34:05
Speaker 1: they're trying, like she feels fearful that they're trying to
34:08
Speaker 1: get to her mother, right, but like she was a
34:12
Speaker 1: victim in this crime. Sure it was unfair that she
34:16
Speaker 1: had to be on the run, Yes, exactly. I didn't
34:19
Speaker 1: like that narrative. But I think, yeah, well, I don't
34:25
Speaker 1: know that anybody was trying to paint her as a criminal.
34:28
Speaker 1: But I think she felt like her knowing where her
34:33
Speaker 1: mother was, but for a long time she didn't know
34:36
Speaker 1: her where her mother was and she was still hiding.
34:39
Speaker 1: Yeah that is nice. I just didn't I don't know,
34:47
Speaker 1: this story felt a little untrue. I don't know, like
34:56
Speaker 1: how realistic is it that story? I don't know. The
34:59
Speaker 1: entire time, I'm I was like, would the mom and
35:01
Speaker 1: the daughters would have been like implicated in this crime?
35:04
Speaker 1: That's the entire thing. I was thinking about the entire movie,
35:07
Speaker 1: Like would they have well once he committed the crime
35:10
Speaker 1: and the mom knew that he committed the crime, and
35:11
Speaker 1: now she's hiding him. But she's married, so you know,
35:15
Speaker 1: you're you can't be compelled to testify in court against
35:17
Speaker 1: your spouse. So is she compelled? So who knows? Or
35:22
Speaker 1: is she? Is she yet? Like would the law compel
35:25
Speaker 1: her to turn him in? I don't know that's a
35:27
Speaker 1: good question. You turn your husband in if he rob
35:31
Speaker 1: the bank he worked for, if he was an abuse
35:34
Speaker 1: of pos like her husband was, who ruined their lives.
35:37
Speaker 1: Perhaps all right, let's talk about something lighter hearted, and
35:41
Speaker 1: that should be this be the end of the series.
35:44
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay, but it needs to be discussed. No,
35:49
Speaker 1: there's one movie. There's one more movie. There's one more
35:52
Speaker 1: movie here. Yeah, okay, I think there is one more
35:55
Speaker 1: movie here. I don't disagree with you. Do you think
35:58
Speaker 1: there needs to be more or should be more after
36:00
Speaker 1: this one, after the one more movie that we're never
36:03
Speaker 1: gonna get. Let's be serious. No, I think they I
36:05
Speaker 1: think that they I think these four can right off
36:09
Speaker 1: into the sunset enjoy their happy lives with their children. Yeah.
36:13
Speaker 1: I think we have three babies that we don't know
36:15
Speaker 1: the fate of. Yeah, and I kind of like to
36:18
Speaker 1: see that. The one thing I like is everyone's kind
36:21
Speaker 1: of in a good place at the end of this movie,
36:23
Speaker 1: other than we've just sent this woman to jail, like
36:25
Speaker 1: she's not in a great place. But but that doesn't
36:28
Speaker 1: affect these four though. Yeah, I would like to see
36:31
Speaker 1: the outcome of these babies. I would like to, you know,
36:35
Speaker 1: maybe the next one. I don't want to see a
36:39
Speaker 1: because this movie picks up right with the last one
36:41
Speaker 1: left off, or a couple of weeks later. I don't
36:44
Speaker 1: want to see Rita and Shane still pregnant movie. I
36:49
Speaker 1: want all of our baby's birthside is next movie? Yeah
36:52
Speaker 1: I could. Yeah, and everyone's happy and we wrap it
36:55
Speaker 1: up and people don't want to hear this, but I
36:58
Speaker 1: think we then move on. I love this series. I
37:01
Speaker 1: think it is incredibly special, and I also think all
37:04
Speaker 1: good things must come to an end. I agree with that,
37:08
Speaker 1: and I also don't think we need like a next
37:10
Speaker 1: generation of Postables. I just shook my head. No, No,
37:14
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. I would love another series
37:17
Speaker 1: from Martha Williamson. Yeah, I was watching the hell out
37:20
Speaker 1: of that. It should be mentioned it is believed that
37:24
Speaker 1: there is a third movie idea or script out there.
37:27
Speaker 1: There is a petition to have it made. We'll link
37:30
Speaker 1: it in the show notes if you feel so compelled
37:32
Speaker 1: to sign it. My personal opinion is this is the
37:36
Speaker 1: last we're going to see it them. Yeah, and that's
37:38
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Mystery one oh one ended well
37:41
Speaker 1: with a cliffhanger, right, all right, what did you rate?
37:45
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's time for Did you see that? Yeah,
37:48
Speaker 1: I have a couple. I have one. Let me hear it.
37:52
Speaker 1: I had to google. But it does take a drive
37:55
Speaker 1: from Denver to Vegas is a ten to twelve hour drive.
37:59
Speaker 1: Why didn't they just fly there because then they wouldn't
38:02
Speaker 1: have a chance to bring the quirky RV back. I
38:05
Speaker 1: just they were like with its radley sound effects, they
38:08
Speaker 1: were like so trying, like we have to get there
38:10
Speaker 1: by showtime. They wouldn't have made it by showtime. It
38:14
Speaker 1: was like the afternoon. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just
38:17
Speaker 1: telling you it's a ten to twelve hour drive and
38:20
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that includes stops at the
38:22
Speaker 1: Dinosaur museum or wherever. They know, you're right because they
38:25
Speaker 1: were leaving at ten am and the show was that night, right,
38:28
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you're gonna make it like the Vegas
38:31
Speaker 1: eleven PM show. I don't know, no, because they were
38:34
Speaker 1: seeing the early show. Because remember they were talking in
38:37
Speaker 1: between shows. I thought it was also funny too. They
38:39
Speaker 1: were like looking out the window like these like wide
38:42
Speaker 1: eyed like, look, it's so beautiful. Is that how you
38:45
Speaker 1: feel when you would have Las Vegas? I'm just like, nah,
38:48
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's remarkable when you drive down
38:51
Speaker 1: the Vegas Strip for the first time. Sure, remember that
38:54
Speaker 1: one time we drove down the Vegas Strip and we
38:55
Speaker 1: were in the back of that car and it was
38:56
Speaker 1: so loud. The music was so loud. You were so angry.
39:01
Speaker 1: I don't remembers at all. What were we even in
39:04
Speaker 1: Vain for. We're on a brand trip. Oh, I was angry.
39:09
Speaker 1: We were being like chauffeured around from show to hotel
39:15
Speaker 1: and the music in the car was like vi Brady
39:20
Speaker 1: Uber so hard. Oh. We were being driven by one
39:23
Speaker 1: of our fellow brand trippers. They're not girls going Hallmark listeners,
39:27
Speaker 1: you know. I think he was in the front seat,
39:29
Speaker 1: but I think of one of the people that they
39:30
Speaker 1: had hired to drive people around and the music was still.
39:34
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, so I get over stimulated very easily.
39:42
Speaker 1: That's the true statement. I don't like lab music in
39:46
Speaker 1: cars or anywhere. Honestly, what do you have for? Did
39:51
Speaker 1: you see that two? First of all, when Oliver is
39:54
Speaker 1: reading the first letter from Harvey, the voiceover of him
39:57
Speaker 1: reading does not match the text on the Oh, there's
39:59
Speaker 1: a couple couple of different ways. It's because like he's like, oh,
40:02
Speaker 1: I fancy myself, but the lion says like consider myself,
40:05
Speaker 1: and I swear he talks about like his love of
40:12
Speaker 1: the post office, but it says something out anyway, it
40:14
Speaker 1: does not match. The other thing is they talk about
40:17
Speaker 1: the hotel the Bellisario, which is an obvious play on
40:21
Speaker 1: the Bellagio, which used to be like kind of like
40:24
Speaker 1: the height of Las Vegas luxury. And my brother was like,
40:26
Speaker 1: it's terrible. I'm sure. I guess the guy who originally
40:29
Speaker 1: owned it sold it and whoever owns it now like
40:31
Speaker 1: it used to be an MGM property and it isn't anymore,
40:34
Speaker 1: or the other way around. Regardles. Apparently, it's not nice anymore.
40:37
Speaker 1: I want to go to a hotel in Vegas that
40:38
Speaker 1: doesn't have a casino because I don't care. Also, it
40:42
Speaker 1: must have high end food hmmm in my favor, or
40:45
Speaker 1: no smoking. I'm no fun guys. Oh my husband and
40:50
Speaker 1: sun Steed. I thought it was the Park MGM doesn't
40:53
Speaker 1: have a casino, which is like, yeah, right, I think
40:56
Speaker 1: that's where we stayed last summer. Yeah, and there it's
40:59
Speaker 1: no casino, so there's it's attached to another hotel. Yeah,
41:02
Speaker 1: so like yeah, yeah, access. But my favorite Vegas hotel
41:05
Speaker 1: is the Encore MM. Their rooms are huge. Every room
41:09
Speaker 1: is like basically like a mini suite, and they have
41:12
Speaker 1: the best buffet at the Wind which is attached the
41:15
Speaker 1: best the best buffet like seafood buffet. I love a
41:18
Speaker 1: seafood both they have seafood, but they have the everything.
41:21
Speaker 1: They have everything. I haven't been in Vegas in years.
41:23
Speaker 1: I just want to go for a buffet and the
41:25
Speaker 1: backshep boys at the Sphere. I have a quick story
41:27
Speaker 1: about the Sphere. Okay, I think I would get motion sick,
41:30
Speaker 1: but okay, that's what I'm That's where I'm headed. My
41:32
Speaker 1: parents were recently there because the Eagles played there and
41:36
Speaker 1: my dad said, the sphere is so freaking cool. But
41:39
Speaker 1: they have a special room for people who get motion sick.
41:43
Speaker 1: I believe it. They have like a full protocol. I
41:45
Speaker 1: was like, that would be me. I have seen videos.
41:47
Speaker 1: It looks really really really cool. The Backshep Boys are
41:51
Speaker 1: playing this summer, and my husband and I have an
41:52
Speaker 1: affinity for boy bands, and every time we talk about it,
41:55
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't know, I feel like I'm gonna get carsick.
41:57
Speaker 1: My husband's like, you are so old. I'm like, I know,
41:59
Speaker 1: but wouldn't it ruined if you're like yeah, if you're like,
42:02
Speaker 1: I need to sit down and close my eyes on
42:06
Speaker 1: the floor. Videos of it look, honestly a little talk
42:09
Speaker 1: about overstimulating. Yeah, I don't know if that's for you.
42:12
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is either. I just saw
42:14
Speaker 1: a video of Andy Cohen at like a Dead with
42:19
Speaker 1: Miles Teller. I was like, that looks like so much fun. Yeah,
42:23
