  Speaker 1: soon headed to Hawaii. They're in that Aloha state of mind, guys.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So I get it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I get it, A Loha state of mind.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: That's what they should have named the movie.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, okay, The Baker's Son. You need a synopsis,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and I am not ready for it because I'm you're

• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Did I kill enough time?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: No? Okay, So now I am back to The Baker's Son,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: which again another horrible title.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: What did she think I was going to say?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's real short. Matt's passion transforms his bread from
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: bland to brilliant, but when his bread loses its magic,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the island locals panic and turned to Annie Match childhood
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Friend and True Love for Help, starring Elouise Mumford and Brandt.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm saying dawtry like Chris, I don't know, okay, I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: get real ng up on these names that remember we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: had this recently with Shannon Dorty.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Dorty Yeah, so okay, DoD okay, whatever you said it,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Brand that's happened in news and notes from this movie.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: This movie takes place in, as far as I can tell,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the fictional town of Windward, Washington, although it was filmed
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver, British Columbia. Did you do any googling of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the town of Windward, Washington.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: No, Oh, I thought you said it was fictional. Win Word,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Washington is a fictional town.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Right as far as I can tell. However, when I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: google Windword Washington, let me tell you what I find.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Windward is not it's a community. It's not the name
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the actual place where it is. And it is
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in Washington, in the Cascade Mountains. And Windward is a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: cooperative community in the making, dedicated to preserving and developing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: village scale technologies needed to support a thriving, sustainable community
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: on marginal land. We come together with the belief that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: now is the time for radical change. That's a cult
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: began with four core members looking to expand to twenty
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to thirty people. Began with an effort in the seventies
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to create a new venice in the Caribbean. No then
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: they moved to Nevada, cultivating a small polyamorous family that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: became Windward. Then they raised the capitol needed to move
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: onto the land that they're currently in. Now we're going
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to leave a link to this community in the show notes.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's a real journey. But that's where Windward, Washington took me.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: That sounds like there was a Netflix documentary about a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: community similar to that. I wish I could tell you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the name of it. I will leave it in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: show notes because I will find it eventually. Okay, Well,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that I did find something about where
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: this movie was filmed at. And I'm not even going
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to attempt to say these names. Do you have them
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: written down?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: By any chance? I didn't, I just because they're near Vancouver.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I left it at that.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, So they were in specific bay areas Bentwood Bay,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and then there's two other names that I'm not going
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to even pronounce because I will butcher them. But anyway,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: these communities are designated as city slow. Have you ever
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: heard of that term before?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I haven't. So the focus is on a slower pace
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of life and improving the quality of life. And I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: was like, isn't that what you guys? Are in search
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: for Yeah, you and your husband, right, one of us?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: One of us?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I was like, I never even had heard
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: this term before, and it's spelled CI.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Did I spell it right? C T A slow sit
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: A slow interesting. I've never heard that. Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I did also read that they use the real Willow
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Street cafe for McBride's.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He had that too. And I'll tell you, I.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Was watching this movie and I was like, I wish
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I had a cafe sort of place like that in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: my neighborhood. We don't have anything like that where you
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: want to Lukes, I want a LUs I want a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Lukes Diner. You're absolutely one hundred percent correct. A brand
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: maybe last name Dawtry was given a crash course in
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: baking prior to this movie. He was given like a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: three hour baking lesson so that in those scenes where
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: he's needing and making bread, it looks authentic. And I
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: thought he did a good job of making those selling
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: those scenes that he was a baker. Okay, you mean
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: he wasn't selling it when he would the dad would
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: come in and Brandt, also known as Matt, his character
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: would have his head down on the counter because he
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: slept in the bakery.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I gock, you guys, okay, let's do first impressions. Let
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: me well, why don't you guess mine? When he hated it?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I absolutely hated it. Meghan liked it. Megan liked it,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you guys, Megan liked it. So it started real slow.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: There were entirely too many characters in this movie, which
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: makes it very hard for me to get into it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But it grew on me a little bit. I didn't
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: hate it. It is not going to make any best
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of lists for me. This was dreadful.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You said, too many characters, The whole ballet troop did
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: not need to be there, like, cut all that out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I just think the writers found another some rando girl
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in this. Yeah, totally, totally okay what we liked.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So as much as I hate a movie where they
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: don't just say the things they're thinking, I do think
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the idea that these are best friends and she's realizing
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that she's in love with him before he realizes he's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in love with her. I do kind of understand why
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you're not just going to say the thing right because
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you've got this lifelong friendship you don't want to ruin it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And then of course he has fallen in love. You
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: can't see me, but I'm making big air quotes with
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: this woman that he's gone on two dates with, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: she feels like he's so heartbroken over her. If he
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: loves her, he could not possibly love Annie. Right, it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was understandable. I could understand her point of view. That's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: what That's what I'll say.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, what I liked about this movie, and I tell you,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I think I only wrote a couple things down. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: liked that the story was from Matt's perspective. We don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: get a ton of movies that are from the male perspective,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: so it was like kind of a nice change. But
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't care enough about Matt and what Matt was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: trying to do with his love life, so right, But
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed the pace. I mean the pace I enjoy.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It was a nice change of pace that they had
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it from the male perspective, because of all the movie
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: we watch this year, I cannot recall one that was
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: from a male point of view.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked the sweet, small town coastal setting. It
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: had real stars hollow vibes for me, not that it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: looked like stars hollow, but like the community, the way
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they all know each other and work together with see
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: each other in the cafe every morning. It gave me
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: those like Gilmore Girls stars hollow vibes that I'm into.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, gotcha, I wrote that to cute little Town. Kind
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of loved the idea of movies that rally the townspeople
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to save the town.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's okay that it wasn't enough to make
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you like the movie. You can like that tiny little piece, okay.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I liked the Annie montage in the end when he
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: realizes he's in love with her and they just like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: snapped through a bunch of photos. Oh, didn't do it
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: for Wendy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: No, I'm shaking my head no, because he's it's like, hey, dummy,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you just realized you loved Annie, and then like, oh.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, guys are so stupid.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Indeed, I like the mayor, the one, the guy who
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: had like three jobs. He made me laugh out loud,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: actually a couple a couple of times. I thought he
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: was quite funny. But like you said, too many characters.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know anybody's name. Oh, okay, what'd you wish for?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about food as a bad thing please. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: understand that these ballet dancers need to stay in shape.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We didn't need it as a plot point. It comes
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: up multiple times, like you're in our restaurant. You don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: need to be like I'm gonna have the burger with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: no cheese and no bun. That doesn't need to be
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: dialogue in the movie. We understand that dancers need to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: stay in shape, and then the one guy who orders
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: his burger with the bun is like a total rebel. No, please,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: this is this is not interesting.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I know all two men wrote this movie, so I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: think that maybe they just don't know that you shouldn't
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: talk about that stuff.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah it, she has no moral value. Agree, absolutely agree.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I wish for better leads. I've never seen either of
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: these actors, even though why are you laughing?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Because I really liked them. I thought they were acutely right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I got terrible material, but I fight liked them individually.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Well. IMDb tells me that Brandt, whatever his last name is,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: has been in a lot of things, including Pretty Little Liars,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: which I watched, but I don't remember him. But the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: thing is, I just found him especially unlikable. I thought
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: he overacted the entire role, and I found him super unnatural.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I hated him.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, I'm sorry, all right, gay, So something else
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I wished for. We haven't talked about this in a while.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Hallmark has a diversity problem, and they have made some
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: steps in the right direction. But Summer Nights is gonna
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: need to be called Summer whit Skies. It's so white.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: This town had one black person and he maybe had
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: two lines, and that was the only person of color
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in the entire movie. And again that's not true. Oh,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There was an indigenous character. Okay, you need
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to know that. I watched this at like thirty five
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: percent attention. Me too, me too. He was like the sheriff,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I think. But okay, Ogrey, right, you're right, you're right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. I die. Do you remember that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Let me say that diversity comes in a lot of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: different places, and it's not just in casting people of color.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: We need like diverse lifestyles. Right, We've talked about how
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they incorporate members of the LGBTQ community into their cast.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: This does not always need to be a male and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: female lead love interest. Diversity comes in body shapes and sizes.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: There's just a lot of different ways we can to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: corporate diversity into our movie instead of saying like, oh,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we have two named cast members who are not white people,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: so check check. I agree.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: That's why these things, these movies are so boring to me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: They're so boring. And what did you call it? Summer white?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Some are white?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Girl, wlash for anything else? Yeah?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I thought these characters did to have any chemistry. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: thought they were terrible. Okay, when Matt's dad tells him
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you have to put like love as the secret ingredient
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: into baking his bread or some crap like that, like
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you must fighting love so your bread is good, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I just thought, like, how about Matt put some effort
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: into his job, Like how about try some new recipes
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: or like have a passion about what you're doing, Like
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: he did not like to be a baker.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to be a baker like that, I don't.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It didn't well, And like I think the message like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta have a partner in order to be good
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at your job. No, have some passion for your job,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have some passion for your life, Like there's ways to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: find joys and love without being like you gotta have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a person or your bread's gonna suck. We're gonna talk
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: all about this whole storyline in the next segment. Oh, okay,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: good good, good, good good.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I also wished for I wrote down I wished I
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: cared more about the story.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I just didn't. I'm sorry. I hated it, but I'm sorry. Sorry. Yeah,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: go ahead, okay, are you ready for to see that?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Before we do that, I would like to address I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: think there needs to be a segment for the things
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that we miss. We're not really paying attention to this movie.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys, I watched this at like it. It's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: not a real busy week. Maybe thirty five percent attention.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And do we know why they were dressed up in
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: period costumes at the end, because I don't. I have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: no idea. Okay, if they addressed it, maybe it's just
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: one of these like quirky small town things. If they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: actually said, like it's the Da Da Da Festival. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: missed it. I missed it. I'm sorry. We are the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: worst Hallmark reviewers ever. My did you see? That's are
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: more just like complaints about the movie. It's not like
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: flubs or mistakes.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: The first one is you can drink coffee when you're pregnant.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It's not heroin.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't, I said, I don't even know what you're
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But I agree. Yeah, there's so many scenes were her
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: friend whose name I don't know, because again too many characters,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is like, oh, that coffee looks really good. Oh, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: her friends are like, can I have a coffee? Sorry,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: can't have one. She can have a cup of coffee, guys,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: she can have a cup of coffee.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: You can have a glass of wine too. I mean,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Megan wouldn't, but it's okay. The doctor says not.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: But every doctor's gonna tell you. Well, most doctors are
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you can have a little caffeine anyway, Especially
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: because other characters were policing her body. I did not
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: enjoy that. Like, if you are a person who is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: pregnant and you choose not to drink caffeine, by all
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: means do what you want. But the fact that people like, oh, no, sorry,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you can't have any No, No, that's not their choice. No.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Why was the ballet so dark? I don't know. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: don't Why was the ballet in this small town? I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: don't know, because they rehearse there. That made no sense.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Many things made no sense. But then they perform on
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a stage the house like one light and it's like
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: someone's holding a lamp and following them. It's not alight.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Was bearable? How are you supposed to see the dancers?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: We need light, get better lights. This is why you're
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: down this val, why your town is failing. It's not
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the bread. Oh I guess the actual Did you see
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that moment a gold Bond commercial? No, I didn't know
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that sponsored was a sponsored by No, I just bummed
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: on it. If you haven't listened to our Sweaty Summer
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Solutions episode, I know that's what it's called. That's what
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I call it. But we'll link it in the show notes.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's a few episodes back, and the tackling was keep
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: her downstairs dry, and we talk a lot about the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: wonders of Goldbond in the summer, just dry. I loved it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I loved it, but I was very happy to see
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that moment. That is so funny.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: No, I did not notice that commercial at all, But
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I'm dying. I'm going to try to find the commercial
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: online and link it in the show notes. Okay, did
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you notice? Okay, this is not a really like did
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you see that but like the town people guilted Annie
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: into about leaving. Yeah, I mean, let this girl go
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: do what she wants to do.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So she came home out of obligation. Let her. Let
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: her do what she means. God, okay, over it? Can
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: we call out the elephant in the room. M hm,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: nobody cares about bread basket bread that much? For yourself there,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I like bread. This is not the town's maker or breaker,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Like if you're hand, it was their bread basket bread
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that they're passing out along with the meals. I know
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they sold it this a loaf too, but they're walking
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: around and apparently this bread ruined the town. No, no, agree.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I know there's like a shot where like everybody's eating
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: like a loaf of bread, Like they're like this, like
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: put some butter on that shit or like.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Me, but it's just a damn oil. It's so dumb.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And the town's solution to bad bread is to find
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: someone else for him to fall in love with. M
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: The bread is bad, so he needs someone to fall
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: in love with. Maybe he needs to be better at
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: making bread.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I said earlier. Put some freaking effort into
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: your job, dude, Like.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Calling the dad be like, dude, we need a little
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: help here. Yeah, like trot out all these fake cousins
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: for him to fall in love with. This is the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: most I mean, that's a Hallmark movie for you, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like he can fall in love in a weekend and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: we can be back online with our bread basket bread.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the movie starring Sarah Michelle Geller called
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Simply Irresistible? That's like a late nineties movie, isn't it? Yeah?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Is she Freddy Prince Junior? Isn't that too?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Isn't he don't her actual real life husband, but he
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't play the lead? Wait?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: What's it called simply irresistible? Simply yeah? He inherits a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: restaurant and also has like some sort of weird magical
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: powers and falls in love with some guy who works
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: at Henry Bendall or maybe is an owner of Hender
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Bendall or some big wig at Henry Bendall, And the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: whole concept is she's like got a bake with love?
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Who gets better when she's baking with love? Anyway, It
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: just it reminded me of that. I've seen that movie
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: many times, and I uh actually quite enjoyed that terrible
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: cheesy movie.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Fridday. Prince Junior is not in this movie,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: but I swear he is in like some sort of
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: chef movie too.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And it came.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Out in nineteen ninety nine at Romantic Comedy. She is
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: it any good? Should I watch it? I don't think
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen it. I probably haven't seen it since
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: nineteen and nine, but I've seen it a lot of times,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: and it's a cute. It's probably terrible against twenty twenty
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: one standards, but I liked it all right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I liked it, okay. Is she leaving town to follow
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: her passion or is she leaving town because Matt fell
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: in love with and got his heart broken by the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: ballet dancer? Probably because Matt's leaving town. So then my
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: question is, why can't you wait five minutes for him
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to pull his head out of his ass because he
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: had a four day relationship with his ballet dancer that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: he then seems shocked that she's leaving town. She's like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a visiting dancer, and then he thinks she's just going
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to stay there anyway? Could you not just wait a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: week for him to pull his head of his ass,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and then you can have a conversation with him. He
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: was not in love with her.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: It is way too complicated this relationship that it's never
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: gonna work. There is a moment where the ballet dancer
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: actually do know her name, her name is Nicole says
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: to him stopping such a guy and ask her what's wrong?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: And I feel like that's like the Hallmark equivalent of
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: saying pull your head out of her, because he says, like,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Annie's being weird, and she's like, well, why don't you
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: just ask her? If they're so close and friendship, yes,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: why aren't they just having this conversation? I don't know, Like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: did you get any kind of like sexy vibes from
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the two of them together? I did not, Yeah, exactly,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Like there was nothing that it was like, oh, yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: they should be together.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: No, do you have any more did you see that? No?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But I read one that was kind of funny. Okay,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: there was a time he was like running out of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the house and he was trying to put his shoes on.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Huh did you read it too? And had white socks on,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and then the next thcene they showed him with black socks.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: So I noticed the black socks. Wasn't watching when they'll
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: put the white sox on.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: So what did you score this movie? Rate this movie?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I gave this. You know, I'm sitting here thinking of
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the ranking I gave it, and then I'm trying to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: compare it to last week's movie. Okay, look in my
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: mind name, I'm adjusting my score on the flot. I'm
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: giving it a two and a half stars because I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: liked wait wait, wait, wait god.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I liked hold On.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Don't get mad the small town better than I liked
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: why now. I gave it a half a star because
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that bad. That's that bad, dude. I hated the lead actor.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was terrible.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I really liked like the quirky little small town vibes.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I liked their hijinks, Like, I mean, it was silly.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But once you're like buying it on the look, this
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is a homework movie, they're gonna be goofy. I there
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: was something about that I found charming, even though I
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: found their premise like so stupid, like, oh, we're gonna
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: find someone for him belove, so the bread's better. That
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: was dumb. But I kind of towards the end, I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: was like, I kind of like the people. I'd like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to go to this fake down. Well, apparently you can
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: go to the real town. That's true, that's true. We
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: should we should go and we can go to Willow
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Street Cafe. Yeah we could, but I don't want to. Hey, guys,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: next week is her pen pal? And do you think
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that when they're naming these movies, they take the synopsis
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of this movie and then they like pull three connected
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: words out and they're like, that makes a good title.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: The thing I'm excited about for my pin pal is
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: it features I think her name is Malory Jansen. She
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: was in the first movie that I watched, Twelve the
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Eights of Christmas, and I really liked her.
• 21:35

• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's an Australian actress. There will be no Hallmark
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: episode for that movie, so you're gonna have to uh.
• 21:53
