1:15
Speaker 3: tons of discussion about the countdown to Christmas kickoff weekend, so.
1:20
Speaker 2: Many polarizing opinions, some of them were shocking to me.
1:23
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get into this movie. And I
1:26
Speaker 2: want to tell you that we have some preliminary ratings
1:28
Speaker 2: information on this movie. It was the sixth most watched
1:32
Speaker 2: cable program on Friday Night with one point six million
1:35
Speaker 2: live viewers. That's a big number for a Christmas movie
1:40
Speaker 2: in October. That's a big number.
1:43
Speaker 3: I wonder if those one point six million viewers were
1:46
Speaker 3: as disappointed as I was.
1:48
Speaker 2: Oh, let's hear you a synopsis.
1:49
Speaker 3: Okay, A journeyman hockey player falls for a real estate
1:54
Speaker 3: agent in a career crisis when he's traded to her
1:58
Speaker 3: hometown and moves to the cottage in her hockey loving
2:02
Speaker 3: family's backyard.
2:04
Speaker 2: News and note this was.
2:06
Speaker 3: Filmed in March twenty twenty three in You Just Have
2:09
Speaker 3: I Know, I have a lon rate Colonna Colonna British Columbia.
2:14
Speaker 3: I was going to apologize for anybody who lives there.
2:16
Speaker 2: Jillian Harris, former bachelorette, current lifestyle influencer.
2:20
Speaker 3: Ruining the pronunciation of their very nice town.
2:25
Speaker 2: This script was written by Steve Beauregard, who contacted one
2:28
Speaker 2: hundred three producers and eight asked to see the script.
2:32
Speaker 2: It was purchased in September twenty twenty two. He's a
2:34
Speaker 2: brand new writer.
2:36
Speaker 3: Where did you find that news note?
2:38
Speaker 2: And his local hometown newspaper.
2:39
Speaker 3: Oh that's nice, that's nice. This movie was originally titled
2:45
Speaker 3: Christmas Goals.
2:47
Speaker 2: I'll talk more about that in a minute. Kim Metula
2:50
Speaker 2: stars as Ashley Get Your Homework being go Cards out
2:53
Speaker 2: as Kim Mitula was in ten episodes of the series
2:55
Speaker 2: Unreal She must have been one of the ladies. She
3:00
Speaker 2: was also in over nine hundred episodes of The Bold
3:02
Speaker 2: and the Beautiful, and she sold a show in last
3:05
Speaker 2: year's Ghosts of Christmas Always. Kevin McGary plays Scott Now.
3:11
Speaker 2: McGary has thirty nine acting credits and can be seen
3:14
Speaker 2: in When Calls the Heart as Mounty Nathan.
3:18
Speaker 3: He plays mister Lacy Shavert in the Wedding Veil movies
3:21
Speaker 3: and was seen in My Growing Up Christmas List last year.
3:26
Speaker 2: Brittany Mitchell plays Sister Julie and she has twenty three
3:30
Speaker 2: acting credits. Then it's a little bit of like acting whiplash,
3:33
Speaker 2: because it's like the Gift of Peace on Hallmark and
3:35
Speaker 2: Gingerbread Miracle, and then we go a little bit darker
3:39
Speaker 2: with movies like Not Worth Dying For and Send Me
3:42
Speaker 2: to Hell Baby, Send Me to Hell Baby. What is
3:46
Speaker 2: that like a Lifetime movie?
3:48
Speaker 3: Or is that like some horror genre? Horra You're gonna
3:56
Speaker 3: get in my head bagain?
3:57
Speaker 2: Okay.
3:58
Speaker 3: Jamila Hall plays Becca. He has eleven acting credits, including
4:02
Speaker 3: the Dying to Belong remake on Lifetime alongside Shannon Dortry
4:08
Speaker 3: another name.
4:08
Speaker 2: I'm shocked. You can't say that, art can't ever.
4:12
Speaker 3: I have to see that movie.
4:13
Speaker 2: Did I watch it already? I almost think maybe you did.
4:17
Speaker 2: We discussed this early, early, early on.
4:20
Speaker 3: Yeah.
4:21
Speaker 2: Jackson Jensen plays Toothless Tony with a total of six
4:25
Speaker 2: acting credits. This is his very first Hallmark appearance. He's
4:28
Speaker 2: got Hallmark sidekick vibes for me.
4:32
Speaker 3: This movie was directed by Kevin Fair. He has forty
4:36
Speaker 3: two directing credits, including most recently three Bed two Bath
4:40
Speaker 3: one Ghost, and also directs the upcoming A season for
4:44
Speaker 3: Family And As of the.
4:47
Speaker 2: Recording of this episode, this movie has a seven point
4:49
Speaker 2: three rating on IMDb. That blows my mind.
4:52
Speaker 3: I don't get it.
4:55
Speaker 2: Let's talk first impressions.
4:57
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about hockey, but I do know
5:00
Speaker 3: that this movie was.
5:02
Speaker 2: A real whiff. It's a hockey metaphor. I had to
5:06
Speaker 2: google it, I get it. My first impression is, what
5:13
Speaker 2: exactly are we checking twice? This metaphor falls flat for me?
5:17
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I mean other than like body check in hockey.
5:22
Speaker 2: But like and checking it twice is a Christmas thing.
5:25
Speaker 2: But yeah, it doesn't actually make sense. And therefore I
5:29
Speaker 2: think writer Steve's original title Christmas Goals, while less catchy
5:33
Speaker 2: than checking it twice, is more accurate. They're the hockey goals.
5:38
Speaker 2: They're both talking about future goals. Yeah, okay, plans.
5:42
Speaker 3: I think it's but Christmas goals. This movie was not
5:45
Speaker 3: about Christmas.
5:47
Speaker 2: Now the whole. In fact, my husband's number one observation is,
5:50
Speaker 2: this is not.
5:50
Speaker 3: A Christmas It's like, what are we what are we
5:53
Speaker 3: gonna set it? Let's set it in Christmas.
5:55
Speaker 2: Let strength some eggnog.
5:57
Speaker 3: It's like it's one of those you know, like I
5:59
Speaker 3: love when you do it. Tick tick tick tick tick
6:01
Speaker 3: tick yeah, tic tick tick yeah, one of those exactly.
6:08
Speaker 2: Well. I would like to apologize upfront, because this movie
6:13
Speaker 2: was pretty widely enjoyed. I would nobody that I saw
6:20
Speaker 2: was saying, this is gonna partic claim the top spot.
6:23
Speaker 3: This is not taking over the Tyler Hines Three Minute
6:27
Speaker 3: and Juggernaut.
6:28
Speaker 2: Yeah no, But a lot of people did seem to
6:32
Speaker 2: enjoy this movie.
6:33
Speaker 3: But I must ask why.
6:35
Speaker 2: So I have exactly one thing I liked about this movie, okay,
6:39
Speaker 2: and it's that the leads, Kim Mitula and Kevin McGarry
6:42
Speaker 2: are at the top of their game. They're fantastic on screen.
6:47
Speaker 2: I enjoy them together. I found them both very comfortable
6:51
Speaker 2: and natural to watch on screen. And perhaps that's what
6:56
Speaker 2: people are playing off of. Because if you or two,
7:01
Speaker 2: let's say you're watching this like most people watch a
7:03
Speaker 2: Hallmark movie, which is to say, not very closely, maybe
7:07
Speaker 2: I would have liked this better. If you're not paying
7:10
Speaker 2: attention to the plot, you're not paying attention to everything else,
7:14
Speaker 2: and you're just kind of experiencing these two attractive people
7:18
Speaker 2: interacting nicely on screen, maybe it's an okay movie.
7:22
Speaker 3: All right, I agree. I also enjoyed Kim Matula and
7:27
Speaker 3: Kevin McGary. This was the first time I really looked
7:30
Speaker 3: at Kevin McGary and I thought he looks like Patrick Dempsey.
7:34
Speaker 3: Oh good, hair, good hair, blue eyes. I think they
7:38
Speaker 3: look very similar. But I enjoy him as an actor.
7:41
Speaker 3: We don't see him in a ton of stuff because
7:43
Speaker 3: I think he's so like bombarded with one calls the heart. Sure,
7:47
Speaker 3: we don't watch that show.
7:48
Speaker 2: To be fair, He's been in well He's a movie
7:52
Speaker 2: the past couple of years.
7:53
Speaker 3: Totally with that Boston accent. So I can't ever like
7:58
Speaker 3: in this movie. I was like, is he doing an accident?
8:00
Speaker 3: Like I don't know what his real speech pattern is.
8:04
Speaker 3: Is not the word?
8:06
Speaker 2: I believe this is true.
8:07
Speaker 3: Kevin McGary, Okay, Kim Mantula was great. She was such
8:11
Speaker 3: a standout in last year's movie. I felt this role
8:14
Speaker 3: was beneath her and him quite frankly, I did have
8:20
Speaker 3: two likes. The one scene when Kevin McGary is like
8:24
Speaker 3: serving tea at that cute little it.
8:27
Speaker 2: Seemed like it was like it was an apple cider event.
8:30
Speaker 3: Yes, but it was like in a retail store or something. Yeah,
8:33
Speaker 3: I don't know.
8:33
Speaker 2: He was so.
8:34
Speaker 3: Sweet, like to the little girl and the teddy bear
8:37
Speaker 3: and all that.
8:38
Speaker 2: I was like, that was nice.
8:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see me like being attracted to that.
8:43
Speaker 2: I want to wait a minute, because it's a little hot.
8:46
Speaker 3: So sweet, so cute. The other thing I liked in
8:49
Speaker 3: this movie, and this was maybe one of the only
8:53
Speaker 3: things I liked in this movie, was that Scott's realization
8:58
Speaker 3: that he wasn't playing hockey for himself, that he was
9:00
Speaker 3: playing for his dad and living in his dad's shadow.
9:03
Speaker 3: And I thought this was a relatable angle. One we
9:06
Speaker 3: get often in Hallmark, but it's usually like I don't
9:08
Speaker 3: want to work for the family business. I want you
9:10
Speaker 3: know instead. Here, the character had been playing hockey all
9:16
Speaker 3: his life, couldn't quite live up to his father's image,
9:21
Speaker 3: and when he comes to the realization like what am
9:23
Speaker 3: I doing? Like, I didn't even have any passion for this, Yes,
9:28
Speaker 3: I'm a better coach than I am player. So I
9:31
Speaker 3: kind of liked that. I wish that was kind of
9:34
Speaker 3: explored more.
9:36
Speaker 2: That's a nice point because the scene when his dad
9:38
Speaker 2: receives the award and he's like, I like to thank
9:40
Speaker 2: my teammates. I think it's really telling that the closest
9:44
Speaker 2: relationships he had in his life were his teammates m hm.
9:47
Speaker 2: Which is not to say that you obviously could have
9:51
Speaker 2: family like teammates, I'm certain, but that that was the
9:54
Speaker 2: only place that he had made a connection with people
9:57
Speaker 2: inspite of the fact that he had a child, Right.
10:01
Speaker 2: I think that was your point? Is good? Like that
10:04
Speaker 2: sends it home that hockey doesn't need to be your
10:07
Speaker 2: whole world.
10:08
Speaker 3: Right Right, But that's where it ends.
10:11
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk what we wished. Okay. So I get
10:15
Speaker 2: too caught up in the details in these sports movies
10:17
Speaker 2: because Hallmark doesn't really have the budget to do them justice. Now,
10:22
Speaker 2: I do know that Steve Beauregard is a sports fan.
10:25
Speaker 2: I don't fault any of this particular issue on the writing.
10:30
Speaker 2: The team is small, their locker room looks like something
10:33
Speaker 2: out of the Mighty Ducks. There are absurd things that happen,
10:38
Speaker 2: like a player stopping mid game to speak to a fan.
10:41
Speaker 2: I get that that's supposed to be a humorous moment.
10:44
Speaker 2: That's never going to happen even in a minor league,
10:48
Speaker 2: small town hockey team, right. And what I had a
10:52
Speaker 2: hard time with is Scott Kevin McGary acts like all
10:56
Speaker 2: of this is new to him. He's been playing forever,
10:58
Speaker 2: but he's that he has responsibilities to the team outside
11:03
Speaker 2: of practice. He treats practice like it's optional in some moments,
11:07
Speaker 2: but also asks for more ice time than others, Like, well,
11:09
Speaker 2: I'd rather be skating than serving at this Apple Tier event,
11:12
Speaker 2: but I'd rather be building a snowman than going to practice, right, sir,
11:18
Speaker 2: you would know, even on a minor league team, you
11:21
Speaker 2: have responsibilities to the team and to the community, and
11:26
Speaker 2: someone who wants so badly and to be called up,
11:29
Speaker 2: you think you would play the game right and be
11:34
Speaker 2: the guy everyone wants to be around, because there's more
11:36
Speaker 2: to it than just your ability on the ice.
11:39
Speaker 3: That's funny that you mentioned this like minor league team.
11:43
Speaker 3: There was one scene where he was helping a teammate
11:46
Speaker 3: with his shot, and I was like, this is not
11:49
Speaker 3: a youth league.
11:51
Speaker 2: Coaches who are professionals exactly, And if you're good enough
11:55
Speaker 2: to be on this like minor league team, you know
11:57
Speaker 2: how to shoot, right, yes, I but I would also
12:02
Speaker 2: have a coach whose entire job is shooting, yes, or
12:06
Speaker 2: an offensive coach exactly.
12:09
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, there's like, you know, pitching coaches and
12:13
Speaker 3: quarterback coaches that specialize in that sort of thing, and
12:17
Speaker 3: I get that, but it felt like a moment where
12:22
Speaker 3: McGary Scott Briggs was coaching someone who's never played before.
12:27
Speaker 1: Right.
12:28
Speaker 2: It just again, It's like a mighty Doug soft hands moment,
12:32
Speaker 2: and the coaches were like looking up from the side, like, oh, yeah,
12:34
Speaker 2: a good idea. Yeah, exactly what that's a Jewish for.
12:40
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not really sure why this was Hallmark's lead
12:45
Speaker 3: movie for Countdown to Christmas. I don't get it. I
12:48
Speaker 3: think in my early days in twenty twenty, I thought
12:51
Speaker 3: they're going to bury a movie like this in October
12:55
Speaker 3: where nobody's really hyped yet to watch a Christmas movie.
12:58
Speaker 3: But I have since learned that people are hyped to
13:00
Speaker 3: watch Christmas movies in October, and you want to come
13:03
Speaker 3: out swing in, you want to come out swinging like
13:05
Speaker 3: last year's Noel next Door, Like that was a great
13:09
Speaker 3: movie that I was expecting to not be great, right,
13:13
Speaker 3: And so I think my expectations were a little high
13:17
Speaker 3: for like opening weekend, and this just didn't cut it.
13:22
Speaker 2: I agree. I mostly thought the story was a little
13:28
Speaker 2: too well. So here's what I think maybe happened. This
13:33
Speaker 2: to me, was very classically Hallmark completely. To me, it
13:36
Speaker 2: felt like the writer was like, I'm gonna write my
13:39
Speaker 2: first Hallmark movie. Give me the template. I'm gonna follow
13:42
Speaker 2: this outlining yes, and the idea of the hometown hero
13:48
Speaker 2: and the small town and trying to break out of that,
13:51
Speaker 2: and that's very classically Hallmark. And then there's some familial
13:55
Speaker 2: drama and there's I want more than I can have
13:59
Speaker 2: all of this, and I think maybe that's why it
14:03
Speaker 2: ended up. You know, you're like, oh, well, let's give
14:06
Speaker 2: our audience what we think they want and what a
14:10
Speaker 2: good part of the Hallmark audience does want. People do
14:12
Speaker 2: watch these movies in part for their predictability, which doesn't
14:17
Speaker 2: mean they have to be cookie cutter, right Like. I
14:20
Speaker 2: think they can be predictable and they can be safe,
14:24
Speaker 2: and they can be low stakes without simply being a
14:29
Speaker 2: mad libs version of what people believe a Hallmark movie
14:33
Speaker 2: should be.
14:34
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree. I thought the script really lacked depth,
14:41
Speaker 3: like there was nothing beyond like these two like meeting
14:45
Speaker 3: and the hygiens about the debit card. How do you
14:49
Speaker 3: only have one form of payment? I don't understand.
14:54
Speaker 2: Also, why would his card have been declined when she
14:57
Speaker 2: runs it unless there's this other line that gets caught
15:00
Speaker 2: where he's actually broke. I don't get that.
15:03
Speaker 3: That's I don't think that's the case.
15:05
Speaker 2: No, they just act like it knew that she wasn't.
15:08
Speaker 2: I know this makes sense because she goes, oh, this
15:11
Speaker 2: isn't your name. Fine, but it doesn't make sense why
15:14
Speaker 2: it would get declined.
15:15
Speaker 3: Right Even that, I felt like the retail person wouldn't
15:20
Speaker 3: be like, this isn't your name. I would be like
15:22
Speaker 3: that's my husband, my dad, my whatever, Like you know
15:26
Speaker 3: what I mean?
15:26
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I will tell you that the debit card
15:30
Speaker 2: situation was inspired by an incident at a Dallas Cowboys
15:34
Speaker 2: game where the writer's wife got up to get snacks
15:37
Speaker 2: and the writer handed her his card and then a
15:40
Speaker 2: minute later he looks down and there's a card on
15:42
Speaker 2: the ground and he's like, oh no, she's gonna be
15:44
Speaker 2: in line buying snacks without a card, and he realized
15:47
Speaker 2: it belonged to the person behind him. Oh so he wrote,
15:51
Speaker 2: inspired by a moment we've talked about a cookie cutter
15:55
Speaker 2: script at the end, we have two professionals who leave
16:00
Speaker 2: their careers.
16:02
Speaker 3: On the chance that they might.
16:05
Speaker 2: Be together.
16:07
Speaker 3: Blows my mind. They hardly knew each other.
16:10
Speaker 2: If you don't think that. The career moments like she's
16:14
Speaker 2: going to work with her friend in this up and
16:16
Speaker 2: like they're going to take over town as like the
16:19
Speaker 2: real estate agents in town. I mean Gal's retiring. Obviously,
16:23
Speaker 2: she was.
16:26
Speaker 3: Not loving her position in New York and was feeling
16:29
Speaker 3: not great about being successful. But did I don't had
16:34
Speaker 3: she been wavering going back and forth from leaving New
16:38
Speaker 3: York to Idaho Falls. I thought she was like, I
16:40
Speaker 3: don't want to leave New York because I have done
16:43
Speaker 3: so much there already, and if I take a step back,
16:46
Speaker 3: that's going to ruin my professional reputation.
16:50
Speaker 2: I think you're right. And I think she also would
16:53
Speaker 2: have felt like coming home was a failure. I believe
16:57
Speaker 2: she has a conversation with her parents where she's like,
17:00
Speaker 2: my parents worked so hard for me to be able
17:02
Speaker 2: to do what I'm doing that if I were to
17:05
Speaker 2: change course, they would be disappointed and it would have
17:08
Speaker 2: been a waste. And she has a conversation and they're like,
17:10
Speaker 2: we're proud of you for who you are. So I
17:14
Speaker 2: think when she has that conversation of feeling a little
17:18
Speaker 2: bit obligated to keep doing the big city job because
17:22
Speaker 2: her parent came at a sacrifice to her from her family,
17:26
Speaker 2: I think that is woven in. I don't think it's
17:29
Speaker 2: super in your face, right.
17:32
Speaker 3: My whole point is. I didn't think that she was
17:37
Speaker 3: on the verge of making this decision until he comes back.
17:41
Speaker 3: So they see each other at like the airport or
17:44
Speaker 3: whatever it was, and then boom, I'm gonna stay here
17:47
Speaker 3: in Idaho falls too, and soe real estate and we
17:50
Speaker 3: got to get an office, and it just these are
17:54
Speaker 3: the details of these movies that I do not like.
17:58
Speaker 2: Yes, are you ready for Digitsu? Yes?
18:00
Speaker 3: I am.
18:01
Speaker 2: Not only is counted on a Christmas back, but you
18:04
Speaker 2: know what else is back? Our emails from correspondent Mike
18:06
Speaker 2: oh nice and he had a lot to say. And
18:10
Speaker 2: one thing he pointed out that we have not yet
18:12
Speaker 2: discussed is that often when the team is ready for
18:14
Speaker 2: practice and all of the guys are in skates, McGarry's
18:16
Speaker 2: still in socks and he's like owner if they didn't
18:18

18:39
Speaker 3: saw him, I was like, that's interesting that they would
18:42
Speaker 3: have an actor missing a tooth, and then and then
18:45
Speaker 3: I realized like he was a hockey player too. And
18:47
Speaker 3: then upon like close like inspection, I could see like
18:53
Speaker 3: a little of the black missing.
18:55

19:41
Speaker 2: divers in the area, so they might have had a cab.
