Love Under the Mistletoe · Girls Gone Hallmark | Hallmark Movie Reviews

0:10
Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Homemark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm Megan,
0:13
Speaker 1: and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm a
0:16
Speaker 1: former Hallmark hater. Today we're discussing Love under the Mistletoe,
0:19
Speaker 1: which originally aired on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, July twenty fifth.
0:23
Speaker 1: And before you yell at us, yes, we are aware
0:25
Speaker 1: that it did air elsewhere. First, if you have thoughts
0:29
Speaker 1: on this movie or anything else we're discussing over here
0:31
Speaker 1: on Girls Gone Hallmark, please email us hello at Girlsgnhollmark
0:35
Speaker 1: dot com. And I would like to read a comment
0:37
Speaker 1: from last week's episode. You Wendy had asked what the
0:40
Speaker 1: viewers want when it comes to Christmas in July, and
0:43
Speaker 1: this comment comes from Michelle on Spotify. She says, I'd
0:46
Speaker 1: rather have two months of summer slash Island movies and
0:49
Speaker 1: a solid month of fall slash Halloween before Christmas starts
0:53
Speaker 1: in late October. Christmas in July just doesn't have what
0:56
Speaker 1: it used to quality over quantity. Agree me too. I
1:02
Speaker 1: love the idea of just two solid months of summer
1:07
Speaker 1: and then yes, I don't care in September we get
1:11
Speaker 1: fall movies. That would be amazing because I feel like
1:14
Speaker 1: there's a real absence of fall movies too. So here
1:19
Speaker 1: are cries homemark. Yeah, I agree with that completely. And
1:23
Speaker 1: if you want to have your re airs with the
1:25
Speaker 1: month of July beat Christmas theme, do it lean into
1:28
Speaker 1: Christmas in July. This is totally fine, But I would
1:32
Speaker 1: rather have a quality movie over these acquisitions. Same, Snowbound
1:39
Speaker 1: was my favorite for the month. I'm telling you right now,
1:43
Speaker 1: mine too, last week's Marcus Rosner movie. Yes, I absolutely
1:47
Speaker 1: agree because my review is going to sound like what
1:50
Speaker 1: the heck with these Christmas in July movies? But I
1:53
Speaker 1: will say that is the only movie that I liked
1:55
Speaker 1: out of the four. Yeah, it's the only one I
1:57
Speaker 1: would rewatch. Same, It's insme, well, why aren't you Hammy?
2:02
Speaker 1: With the synopsis for Love under the Missletoe, Grace and
2:06
Speaker 1: her former high school crush Ryan worked together to revive
2:11
Speaker 1: the beloved charity fundraiser and seem to constantly find themselves
2:15
Speaker 1: under a strategically placed missiletoe. Love under the Missletoe was
2:21
Speaker 1: previously released in twenty twenty four under the title Operation
2:25
Speaker 1: Missiletoe and aired both on Hulu and also the CEEDW.
2:28
Speaker 1: When did the c W start putting out great question week,
2:33
Speaker 1: not even weekly, but like a Christmas movie. Yeah, but
2:36
Speaker 1: I got to say, twenty twenty four was well past
2:39
Speaker 1: my CW days, so I don't know what they got
2:40
Speaker 1: going on over there. Yeah, me neither. Bradley Walsh directed
2:45
Speaker 1: Under the Missiletoe. Bradley has fifty four directing credits, and
2:48
Speaker 1: his last movie was A Royal Setting, which also starred
2:52
Speaker 1: Jin Lily. Other Hallmark movies of his include Twas the
2:56
Speaker 1: Date Before Christmas and Catch Me If you clause to that,
3:00
Speaker 1: I say, what what? Because those movies were great? Right?
3:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:07
Speaker 1: The screenplay was written by Ansley Gordon and marks her
3:10
Speaker 1: twenty sixth writing credit. Previous projects include A Royal Setting
3:14
Speaker 1: and the forthcoming Ossie at Heart. Jen Lelly stars as Grace.
3:18
Speaker 1: Jen returned to Hallmark earlier this year in A Royal Setting.
3:22
Speaker 1: She will appear in the forthcoming theatrical release of a
3:25
Speaker 1: movie called Jimmy about Jimmy Stewart mm isn't a Sarah
3:31
Speaker 1: Drew Thank You. Nick Bateman stars as Ryan. Nick's most
3:35
Speaker 1: recent work was in the series When Hope Calls, and
3:37
Speaker 1: his last Hallmark movie was from twenty nineteen in A
3:39
Speaker 1: Brush with love. Hey, Wendy, what was your first impression
3:43
Speaker 1: of Lomond of the Missletoe? Somewhere there's a Lego minifigure
3:47
Speaker 1: walking around wondering who stole its hair?
3:53
Speaker 2: Did you see that?
3:53
Speaker 1: Someone in our Facebook group called him baby Marcus Rossner.
3:57
Speaker 2: No, I didn't he handsome.
4:00
Speaker 1: His hair was dreadful. And then they said, why does
4:04
Speaker 1: his hair always look like a peaky blinder's hat. Oh,
4:10
Speaker 1: he's incredibly handsome, my husband said about him. Why does
4:15
Speaker 1: this dude who can bone anything that walks care about
4:19
Speaker 1: his small town crush? But his first impression, basically, my
4:24
Speaker 1: first impression is is there some sort of fine for
4:27
Speaker 1: not wearing some variation of red and green in this
4:30
Speaker 1: town during the month of December? That's I hate that stuff.
4:35
Speaker 1: I hate everybody, everybody.
4:38
Speaker 2: I mean, can I talk about the red headphones?
4:41
Speaker 1: My gosh, sure, I sull I gotta say, my gosh,
4:45
Speaker 1: why are they so huge?
4:47
Speaker 2: Why are they so huge? And does she have a
4:49
Speaker 2: pair for every season?
4:51
Speaker 1: Maybe? Yeah? And nobody wants where red headphones is like
4:54
Speaker 1: that in September.
4:56
Speaker 2: No March.
4:58
Speaker 1: No, let me just be transparent here. This was not
5:02
Speaker 1: my favorite movie, not my favorite movie ever, not my
5:05
Speaker 1: favorite movie of the month, but I do have a
5:09
Speaker 1: few ETYBD likes. Same to me, this movie was pleasant
5:13
Speaker 1: and that is the nicest compliment I can give.
5:17
Speaker 2: I agree with that.
5:18
Speaker 1: I think like production wise, I know you're like just
5:21
Speaker 1: ragging on like everybody wearing red and green, but production wise,
5:25
Speaker 1: it feels festive, it feels Christmas. Yes, yes, there's nothing
5:30
Speaker 1: like aggressively terrible from like a movie standpoint. Yeah yeah, yeah,
5:37
Speaker 1: But here's my problem, and I know this is this
5:40
Speaker 1: is like a like wrapped up in a wish for
5:44
Speaker 1: the finale of Christmas in July lineup. Pleasant should not
5:49
Speaker 1: be the ceiling. Yeah, so I agree with everything you said.
5:53
Speaker 1: We I had I actually have Sinse deleted it. We
5:56
Speaker 1: said in our First Impressions of the Month of July episode,
6:00
Speaker 1: knowing that this was a reair and knowing that a
6:03
Speaker 1: royal setting was another acquisition from Hallmark. Technically, Jen Lily
6:07
Speaker 1: is back on Hallmark, but they're not making heavy for her.
6:10
Speaker 1: They're just like acquiring these movies that have her in them.
6:13
Speaker 1: And we had said, like, I want Jen Lily in
6:15
Speaker 1: a movie made for Jen Lily, not in just these
6:18
Speaker 1: like low budget vehicles that we can get her in
6:21
Speaker 1: and people were like, she's in two movies this year,
6:24
Speaker 1: what more do you want?
6:25
Speaker 2: You're not listening, Woo.
6:27
Speaker 1: Spicy take guys. We wanted honesty there.
6:29
Speaker 2: It is they aren't listening. That's not what we're saying.
6:31
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want more Jen Lily all over
6:33
Speaker 1: the place. If you're going to bring Jen Lilly back
6:36
Speaker 1: to the network, and gen Lily is one of those
6:38
Speaker 1: people whom I have to separate the art from the artist.
6:42
Speaker 1: But if you're going to bring her back and her
6:45
Speaker 1: big Disney princess eyes and her bubbly personality, give her
6:48
Speaker 1: a movie that is meant for her because people tune
6:52
Speaker 1: in for her. And if you notice, our first impressions
6:55
Speaker 1: of our on Instagram and Facebook were largely positive. And
6:58
Speaker 1: I think it's the Jen Lily effect. One hundred percent
7:02
Speaker 1: agree with you, But I just think, imagine what you
7:05
Speaker 1: could do with her, Imagine the audience she would bring
7:10
Speaker 1: if you were giving her something to cook with.
7:13
Speaker 2: Right, that sounds like a wish. It is a.
7:15
Speaker 1: Wish, Damn Megan. Well, let me talk a little bit
7:18
Speaker 1: about my likes. I agree with you that this movie
7:20
Speaker 1: was pleasant and I actually thought this cast vibed well together.
7:24
Speaker 1: I didn't think Grace and Ryan had like crazy chemitry
7:26
Speaker 1: at all, but I thought they were very pleasant on
7:28
Speaker 1: screen together, Grace and her bestie, Grace and her brother.
7:31
Speaker 1: They were all nice and comfortable and easy to watch
7:34
Speaker 1: on camera.
7:35
Speaker 2: But your your.
7:36
Speaker 1: Point about nothing standing out made me think of have
7:42
Speaker 1: you ever seen an AI generated image that, when you
7:45
Speaker 1: look closer, has like actual gibberish on it.
7:49
Speaker 2: Yes, So you look at it.
7:51
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, that's cute. And then you look
7:53
Speaker 1: and you're like, that's not a word. What's happening over there?
7:55
Speaker 1: And so that's the vibe I get, like this has
7:58
Speaker 1: like the wash of a Chris Smith's movie with like
8:01
Speaker 1: pleasant interactions. But we'll get to it in my wishes,
8:04
Speaker 1: it's not quite getting there. I love that analogy. That's amazing.
8:10
Speaker 1: The other thing is, to your point, if you've listened
8:13
Speaker 1: to this podcast this month, you know that my husband
8:15
Speaker 1: has been on the Christmas in July journey with me,
8:17
Speaker 1: and he has watched a few of the Hallmark Hall
8:21
Speaker 1: of Fame movies, and you know his complaint is not
8:24
Speaker 1: enough Christmas, not enough Christmas, and that's accurate. This one
8:27
Speaker 1: opens and he was like ten out of ten for
8:29
Speaker 1: opening festiveness on his rating scale. Cute song, cute town,
8:33
Speaker 1: tons of decorations. They were bringing the Christmas vibes, and
8:37
Speaker 1: so if that's all you were looking for in this movie,
8:40
Speaker 1: you're gonna get it. Yeah. I think it's one that
8:42
Speaker 1: you can like throw on in the background and.
8:45
Speaker 2: Kind of like a yule log burning on your TV.
8:48
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly if you want to, you know, wrap some
8:53
Speaker 1: Christmas presents or make some cookies and you're not really
8:55
Speaker 1: paying attention, but there's Christmas vibes happening there.
8:59
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go.
9:01
Speaker 1: Did your husband watch this movie with you?
9:04
Speaker 2: Yes?
9:05
Speaker 1: And his thoughts? Did he enjoy it? He thought it
9:08
Speaker 1: was fine because this is kind of his Christmas genre. Yah, yeah, yeah,
9:12
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, So he thought it was fine. He thought
9:15
Speaker 1: the conflict was dumb. He had some complaints, as did I,
9:19
Speaker 1: but he thought it was overall fine. Well, I will
9:22
Speaker 1: tell you in terms of grace and Ryan, I agree,
9:26
Speaker 1: not huge chemistry and I really hate a I'm gonna
9:32
Speaker 1: reunite with my high school boyfriend because we have, like this,
9:35
Speaker 1: such a great connection as high schoolers as seenagers. If
9:40
Speaker 1: I could just sidetrack here for a second, when does
9:44
Speaker 1: that ever work out? I know, I'm sure there's a
9:46
Speaker 1: small population of people who are still with their high
9:49
Speaker 1: school sweetheart. But like, when you meet as teenagers, you
9:52
Speaker 1: are completely two different people right than you are when
9:55
Speaker 1: you're adults, right because you've had time to mature and
9:58
Speaker 1: like experience life, so and you've like created this image
10:01
Speaker 1: of this person who's like can do no wrong because
10:04
Speaker 1: it's easy to forget all of their irritating little habits
10:07
Speaker 1: or the ways in which your life may not work,
10:08
Speaker 1: and the fact that you're fully different people ten years later,
10:10
Speaker 1: et cetera. Yeah, but back to Grayson Ryan, you know,
10:14
Speaker 1: I did appreciate that they didn't spend the entire movie
10:18
Speaker 1: like bickering minuch other, you know, so like they seem
10:22
Speaker 1: to enjoy each other's like presence.
10:24
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
10:24
Speaker 1: So that was nice because I just if this movie
10:27
Speaker 1: would have also had the layer of these two one
10:31
Speaker 1: stated and now they hate each other and then they're
10:33
Speaker 1: going to be fall in love again, I would have
10:36
Speaker 1: quit the podcast, I think, yeah, kidding, just kidding, But
10:39
Speaker 1: so I was happy like their story wasn't fueled by
10:43
Speaker 1: like some misunderstanding. Yeah, we get it at the end,
10:46
Speaker 1: but it's the whole time. It wasn't that way. And
10:49
Speaker 1: hear me when I say I am reaching for likes here. Yeah, well,
10:53
Speaker 1: why don't we take a break and come back with
10:54
Speaker 1: our wishes? Okay, all right, Wendy, we've kind of touched
11:06
Speaker 1: on it, but let's dive into our wishes about this movie.
11:09
Speaker 1: Well one you already talked about. I'm just going to
11:12
Speaker 1: put the period on it. Jen Lily deserves a better movie.
11:16
Speaker 1: We will already established that I do find her likable. Yes,
11:22
Speaker 1: me too, And I have said this time and time again, y'all,
11:26
Speaker 1: I need your emails. I need to know give me
11:29
Speaker 1: the Jen Lily movie. I think that is incredible. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
11:34
Speaker 1: please tell me it'sbou mingo all the way.
11:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
11:39
Speaker 1: I want to root for her. I want to fall
11:43
Speaker 1: in love with her as an actor and be like, yes,
11:45
Speaker 1: I definitely want to tune into this Jen Lily movie.
11:48
Speaker 2: I think you're right.
11:50
Speaker 1: I think when you said so many people had weighed
11:53
Speaker 1: in on their our first impressions post over the weekends
11:55
Speaker 1: because people are so enamored by who Jin Lily is
11:58
Speaker 1: and they don't even care that the movie is not
12:00
Speaker 1: that great and hear me when I say this. I
12:02
Speaker 1: saw Jen Lily was commented on our stuff, so I
12:07
Speaker 1: feel conflicted. I'm sure she probably doesn't tune into the
12:10
Speaker 1: podcast and listen to what we said, but that doesn't
12:12
Speaker 1: mean I'm gonna like, you know, shit all over her.
12:16
Speaker 1: I know there's like it's complicated in so many ways,
12:19
Speaker 1: and I too, like Megan, am trying to separate actor
12:23
Speaker 1: from the work. So yeah, well, like, do does she
12:26
Speaker 1: have a bad picker or good question?
12:30
Speaker 2: What is it?
12:30
Speaker 1: Because I like you like her, but I don't always
12:35
Speaker 1: love her movies. So we did get an email from
12:38
Speaker 1: Mackie who says the highest that I've rated a movie
12:42
Speaker 1: of Jen Lily's is three out of five stars, and
12:44
Speaker 1: the two titles that I rated three stars are Winter
12:47
Speaker 1: Love Story co starring Kevin McGarry and a Dash of
12:51
Speaker 1: Love co starring Brendon Penny. Although they're both very traditional,
12:54
Speaker 1: I find them enjoyable enough. Well, I might check out
12:58
Speaker 1: the Brendan Penny one. I like Brendan Penny a lot,
13:02
Speaker 1: so hm, but only a three star is kind of
13:07
Speaker 1: mid So I trust Mackie's reviews too. I do too,
13:11
Speaker 1: I do too, Even with Mistletoe in the title, they
13:14
Speaker 1: don't get it right. And I was yelling, Now, on
13:19
Speaker 1: the movie poster, there's mistletoe that he's holding above her head.
13:23
Speaker 1: It has white berries. Throughout the movie there's often redberries. Y'all,
13:27
Speaker 1: red berries are holly. And so I'm yelling at the TV.
13:30
Speaker 1: That's not mistletoe, it's holly. It seems like people who
13:32
Speaker 1: make Christmas movies should know this. And my husband was like,
13:36
Speaker 1: it's just interchangeable, like it doesn't matter, Like people have
13:40
Speaker 1: come to accept that, like those two things are interchangeable,
13:43
Speaker 1: like if it's hanging up there. And I was like,
13:44
Speaker 1: that is the worst excuse I have ever heard to me.
13:48
Speaker 1: That is on par with changing the Dictionary definition of
13:51
Speaker 1: the word literally to also mean figuratively. I know you
13:56
Speaker 1: don't do this, like, oh, because people are too lazy,
14:00
Speaker 1: know the difference between missletone and holly. We're just going
14:02
Speaker 1: to accept that holly is mistletoe.
14:03
Speaker 2: I don't accept that.
14:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, can I make a note about the mistletoe please
14:10
Speaker 1: attempt here. I hated Melanie's constant attempt to engineer these
14:15
Speaker 1: missiletoe moments.
14:17
Speaker 2: Yes, I like when.
14:20
Speaker 1: There is like a Christmas magic. I mean, look, I'm
14:23
Speaker 1: still mad about that stupid Christmas train movie. Right when
14:26
Speaker 1: you have like Melanie like thinking like she's so clever
14:30
Speaker 1: by putting up these mistletoe everywhere because she's trying to
14:33
Speaker 1: get these two back together. I just it made me
14:36
Speaker 1: wanted to punch the TV screen. It just makes me mad.
14:40
Speaker 2: Well, it's so contrived.
14:41
Speaker 1: Having the toe above my head is not going to
14:43
Speaker 1: make me fall in love with someone, forcing me to
14:45
Speaker 1: kiss someone because there's mistletoe, which it's not a contract.
14:49
Speaker 1: If I'm standing on her missletoe, I'm not required to
14:51
Speaker 1: kiss this person. Like I get that she was trying
14:54
Speaker 1: to be cute, but it was like so much work
14:57
Speaker 1: carried through the whole two me her hanging all this
15:01
Speaker 1: missiletoe like over a kitchen island, right over the porch.
15:05
Speaker 2: I was like, come on, like.
15:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, like here's my here's how they should have reworked it.
15:10
Speaker 1: Set it up at the beginning like that, and then
15:13
Speaker 1: have Grace and Ryan have natural moments like that unfold
15:19
Speaker 1: like she was the catalyst of it, and then it's
15:23
Speaker 1: not all manufactured throughout the entire movie. Oh they're going
15:26
Speaker 1: to be here, So I got to get over there
15:27
Speaker 1: and put mistletoe over their table, like they just happened
15:29
Speaker 1: to find themselves in the place.
15:31
Speaker 2: Hated that.
15:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it lends itself to your idea, It
15:34
Speaker 1: lends itself to more like this was meant to be
15:36
Speaker 1: because she hung mistletoe in all of these places, and
15:38
Speaker 1: then they look, they found themselves there, and so it
15:42
Speaker 1: must be love or whatever. If you asked me what
15:47
Speaker 1: this movie was about, probably couldn't tell you. And I
15:50
Speaker 1: don't have had a fundraiser. I don't understand the fundraiser. Yeah,
15:54
Speaker 1: how do they make money? They're just having a fundraiser
15:57
Speaker 1: for all the nonprofits in town that you don't have
16:00
Speaker 1: enough money and people are paying to come to this
16:03
Speaker 1: Christmas party? Like, what is the fundraiser? Yeah, I'm not sure.
16:07
Speaker 1: The bows and bobbles? Is that why that's called? They
16:09
Speaker 1: had one of those like alliteration names that I can't stand. Yes,
16:12
Speaker 1: but no, I know you're not asking for the name
16:13
Speaker 1: of it, but no, I know for the understanding of it.
16:16
Speaker 1: How do they make money? Oh, people are already outside donating,
16:19
Speaker 1: are they? Are they the twelve people outside have now
16:22
Speaker 1: saved all your town's charities?
16:25
Speaker 2: Can I tell you my vagges wish?
16:26
Speaker 1: Yes, Grace gets mad at Ryan that he is going
16:30
Speaker 1: to sell this home because it's significant to the town,
16:34
Speaker 1: it has meaning to her and to their past. Grace,
16:39
Speaker 1: Ryan doesn't live here, nobody lives in this house. And
16:43
Speaker 1: the idea is they're so pissed about it. Yeah you
16:46
Speaker 1: have do you have no standing to be upset with
16:49
Speaker 1: him for selling this home that doesn't belong to you
16:53
Speaker 1: and that he doesn't actually have a use for. She
16:56
Speaker 1: acted betrayed by the fact that he would try and
16:59
Speaker 1: offload this asset.
17:00
Speaker 2: It is an asset.
17:02
Speaker 1: He's a businessman, jeez. Like things can have sentimental value
17:07
Speaker 1: and also carry some sort of financial benefit in selling them. Okay,
17:13
Speaker 1: but can we talk about that guy Quinn, the guy
17:16
Speaker 1: that Yeah, when Quinn unloads on Grace, basically they're in
17:24
Speaker 1: the kitchen and like this is when Grace finds out
17:27
Speaker 1: that Ryan is potentially going to sell the house, and
17:29
Speaker 1: then she's upset and he just like lets her have it.
17:34
Speaker 1: Like it is so mean, Like the things that he
17:36
Speaker 1: says torn Like he's like, oh, you thought he was
17:40
Speaker 1: saying for you, I don't know whatever. He's so mean
17:44
Speaker 1: and it was so not necessary, I thought, except for
17:48
Speaker 1: the fact that I thought, oh, he's just saying these
17:50
Speaker 1: things because he's pissed that she kind of broke things
17:53
Speaker 1: off with this dude. But anyway, I just he was
17:58
Speaker 1: so out of line. Yeah. I got the vibe that
18:00
Speaker 1: he was just like, you broke up with me for him,
18:03
Speaker 1: and what a dummy you are.
18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was so hurtful. Yeah, for sure.
18:08
Speaker 1: Eugh, she just took it too. I was like, no way,
18:12
Speaker 1: I would have been like I don't know, I don't know.
18:16
Speaker 1: I just wanted her to like scream in his face. Okay,
18:18
Speaker 1: that's all any more wishes. No. My only other wish,
18:23
Speaker 1: and we touched on it at the beginning, is Hallmark
18:25
Speaker 1: needs to raise the bar for Christmas in July or
18:29
Speaker 1: scrap it all together?
18:31
Speaker 2: Co signed, let's talk. Did you see that?
18:34
Speaker 1: It goes back to my first impression about Nick Bateman's
18:38
Speaker 1: hair and somebody owes this man in apology. Look if
18:41
Speaker 1: you look at his Instagram or is IMDb wow wowie zowie, Like,
18:46
Speaker 1: oh he's a good looking dude. I don't know what
18:49
Speaker 1: was happening with this hair, Like why is it all
18:51
Speaker 1: brushed forward long and then like curled up on his
18:54
Speaker 1: forehead like that? What is happening.
18:56
Speaker 2: I gotta look up.
18:57
Speaker 1: Nick Bateman's Instagram right now. Yeah, he's very wowey ZOWI. Oh,
19:03
Speaker 1: his profile picture is.
19:04
Speaker 2: Giving Davy.
19:06
Speaker 1: Davy from I do see the baby Marcus Rossner accusations
19:12
Speaker 1: in these photos.
19:12
Speaker 2: He's very hot.
19:15
Speaker 1: The funny part is I did go into IMDb because
19:18
Speaker 1: I was very curious since this movie has two entries
19:22
Speaker 1: on IMDb because it's been a different it has a
19:24
Speaker 1: different name. Uh huh.
19:26
Speaker 2: They were not nice.
19:28
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not alone. Reviewer after reviewer wrought off
19:31
Speaker 1: Ryan's hair.
19:32
Speaker 2: Yeah weird, right, so weird, so weird.
19:36
Speaker 1: Well, I've talked a lot about my digity. That's her
19:38
Speaker 1: giant headphones. Everyone in this movie wearing red and green.
19:42
Speaker 1: But my biggest to see that is the tree decorating scene.
19:45
Speaker 2: Do you know what I want to talk about? I don't.
19:48
Speaker 1: So they decorate this outdoor tree and prior to decorating
19:53
Speaker 1: the tree, Ryan and Grace are together and they say
19:56
Speaker 1: something about going to dinner, and she's like, oh, I
19:57
Speaker 1: have to go decorate this tree tonight, but you can
19:59
Speaker 1: come with me. And when they arrive, it's clearly dusk,
20:02
Speaker 1: like it's getting dark outside, and they're going to decorate
20:04
Speaker 1: the tree. Cut to the tree is decorated, they're all
20:07
Speaker 1: still wearing the same thing. So it's not the next
20:10
Speaker 1: morning it is now light outside, and then they go
20:13
Speaker 1: on to have like a lot of their day. It's
20:17
Speaker 1: like somebody forgot like it's nighttime. It needs to be
20:20
Speaker 1: the next day, or it's nighttime, it should be darker.
20:23
Speaker 1: They I guess we're hoping that people wouldn't pay. Someone
20:25
Speaker 1: actually DMed us about this.
20:27
Speaker 2: I had noticed it.
20:28
Speaker 1: It was in my notes because I even we were
20:31
Speaker 1: watching it. I'm like, it was just dark. I rewound
20:33
Speaker 1: to make sure they're all wearing the same stuff. Yeah,
20:38
Speaker 1: continuity strikes again. Yes, well you know it's it's a
20:43
Speaker 1: laughable joke now about the coffee cups, right, you know,
20:47
Speaker 1: oh yeahing in the coffee cups and I this is
20:50
Speaker 1: like one of those things like you can't unseee it
20:52
Speaker 1: once you see it. But they're like they have paper
20:54
Speaker 1: coffee cups and they're just like whipping them around. There's
20:58
Speaker 1: clearly nothing in them, like, please you need a pa
21:01
Speaker 1: to put something in them, Please have some rice or something.
21:05
Speaker 1: But my actual digite that is they're talking about Grace
21:09
Speaker 1: and Ryan are talking about their coffee orders, and she's like, oh,
21:12
Speaker 1: I order a tall drip coffee. She's clearly holding and
21:15
Speaker 1: medium sized coffee cup the same as his, like, but
21:19
Speaker 1: she like shows it like she she tips it ford like,
21:24
Speaker 1: oh a tall drip coffee like hers was different than
21:27
Speaker 1: his anyway, whatever, it just irrationally pissed me off. I
21:31
Speaker 1: have one more digit see that, and it's about the Mistletoe.
21:34
Speaker 2: Okay.
21:36
Speaker 1: I watched this movie live and there was a Mistletoe
21:40
Speaker 1: Murders commercial, oh, which I was very excited about. I'm
21:44
Speaker 1: very much looking forward to that series coming back. They
21:48
Speaker 1: show like the commercial and then they show like the
21:50
Speaker 1: Mistletoe Murders overlay, and what's on it is holly h
21:57
Speaker 1: I mean, this is your big show, Mistletoe.
22:00
Speaker 2: Get it right, folks.
22:03
