  Speaker 2: It's Megan and Windy at gmail dot com. However, I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: don't think we have any emails today, but we did
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: get a little bit of feedback regarding our review from
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It wasn't last week, but the last movie reviewed it
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: was last week?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember now, but it was Baby It's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Cold Inside m not a movie I really liked so much.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I think I gave it zero stars. But we did
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: get some feedback that I don't remember exactly what it said,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: do you, Megan Uh?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It said Hallmark movie one on one, they all have
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the same storyline and you have to go into the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: movie knowing it's going to be cheesy.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, that is fair, that's a fair assessment. I think
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: there is a part of that you have to you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: drop what did they say, you have to drop a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: suspend reality since that's the word suspend reality for a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: lot of things. I get that, but I just can't.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I know the Hallmark movies are supposed to be this way,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: but I could still be critical of them. I don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: love cheesy movies, and that's why I'm here on this
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: podcast to tell you I don't love.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Cheese well, and I think, to be fair, there have
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: been a number of movies that we've quite enjoy Taking
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a shot at love we loved, as luck would have it,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we loved. There have been movies that we've really enjoyed.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So it's not the you know, even Wendy, who is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a self professed Hallmark hater, can't appreciate a Hallmark movie.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: That movie was bad, guys last week. Some of them
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: are just bad.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Some of them are just bad.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't make a hotel. The character in your movie
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: should be Hallmark movie.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: One on one, I agree. All right, let's talk about
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Sweet Carolina because this one spoiler alert I thought.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Was pretty good. Good. Let's go with news and notes.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Yeah, do you know
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: how many movies prior to this one Lacey Schabert has
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: been in. I'm going to be sad if you also
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: found this. Okay, wait, let me think how old could
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: she be? I would guess she's in her mid thirties.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. Fifteen. This is her.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Twenty sixth Hallmark movie.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's a lot of movies. I mean, I feel
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: like that's more than one a year. That's like three
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a year. Two.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We've seen her in several this year. We have well, I.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Have okay, I can't remember. I can't remember.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Eight years old.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Wow, born in nice Little Claudia.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: She executive produced this movie. And she specifically chick our
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: friend Heini for this role. And we hear that a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: lot that sometimes in the actresses cast first or in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the actress plays a lead, like a strong role in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the movie where they have a little bit of say
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that they specifically ask for the actor, and as often
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: our buddy Tyler Hines when they get to ask.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Well, duh. He's like the George Clooney of Hallmark Movies.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Of course, Like I feel like I've had this conversation before,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Like he draws an audience. Of course, you're going to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: pick the guy that draws the audience to watch your movie.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Like Sprakuler. He did not disappoint me in this movie.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, we'll talk about him in a bit. I have
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit of news and notes. Did you know
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that Lacey how do you say her name? Shaber?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, she developed the story for this movie.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I saw that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing. She didn't like write it. She didn't
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: write the teleplay, but like she and somebody else like
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: developed the story. So I think that's like I would
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: equate that too, Like, Hey, I want to build a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: building and then like an architect comes up.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: With the plants. Yeah, this is what I wanted to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: look at.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You make it happen, Yeah, exactly. But I think that's cool.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: What else, so you may recognize Delilah. The actress Cassidy
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Nugent was also in Chasing Waterfalls.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was the daughter m Oh, she was terrible
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in Chasing Waterfalls. I thought she was pretty good in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: this one though.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I did too. And Virgin River fans will recognize character
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Kate Wilder as actress Terrell Rothery. She plays a strong
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: role in Virgin River. She's also been in a number
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of shows. But as soon as I saw her, like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I pinged with recognition. And what I was remembering her
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from was Virgin River, which is on Netflix and has
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a bit of a Hallmark feel to it. It's been
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: described that way. I do think it has a little
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: more bite than your standard Hallmark movie. But Hallmark fans
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: may enjoy.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Who'd you play in this movie?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The mom?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Oh? The mom? Yeah, who was so put together? I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: just loved her look.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, I had read that the actor who played Tony,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: her boyfriend, Uh huh, Peter Benson, is also the director
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: of this movie.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Oh fun.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, this movie was to take place in North Carolina,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: but it was actually filmed you know, guess Merret Meghan.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Where was it filmed in?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Vinada, British Vancouver, and Mabel Ridge.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So we were talking off air before we started recording
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that the name of this movie is called Sweet Carolina,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: but we we don't know what that was in reference to,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and the only thing I can connect the dots is
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that it took place in North Carolina. I think they
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: could have come up with a better name.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that fell apart a little bit. I think perhaps
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the idea of coming home was meant to play a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: bigger role in the movie, because that is one of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the bigger themes that Josie does come home. But I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: don't feel like they played the North Carolina as home
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: strong enough for that to be the name of this movie.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I agree, I agree.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: What were your first impressions of this movie?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I really liked that it broke, for the most part,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: away from the Hallmark norm the template that we are
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: so used to seeing. The standout movies to me are
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the ones that don't follow the same formula trajectory formula. Yes, Also,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I was very invested in Josie's character and her life's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: decisions and would not want to be in her shoes
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: at all. So yeah, my first impressions are that I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: liked it. What about you?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I also enjoyed it for the same reasons you mentioned.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I like that it went a little bit of a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: different way. We'll talk a little bit more about what
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we liked, but overall, I enjoyed this movie me too,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: all right, So specifically, what did you like?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: In a kind two I mentioned I really enjoyed the cast?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: M hm. I just think you cannot go wrong with
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Lacey and Tyler at all. I mean, like you said, like,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of course she wanted him in this role as Cooper,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and uh, who wouldn't. I feel like Lacey is a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: like a higher tier Hallwark actress.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: You know, if like you know, there's like, yeah, she
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and Candice Cameron are right up there together.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Right like they're high tier. And I'm not even gonna
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: say who I think is a low tier, but I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: think you might know. So I enjoy I'm drawn to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the movies that have like I feel like there's going
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to be a depth from an actor who has like experience.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it does not any of that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Make sense one hundred percent?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: All right? What did you like? I liked a bunch
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: of things, but I want to hear some of yours. Well,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I like that they develop the entire cast. Every single
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: character kind of had a trajectory and a story to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: be told, and it all played well together. We know
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: sometimes that we give these supporting characters stories that don't
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: necessarily play into the overall storyline, and I think they
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: did a good job. The brother had, you know, good
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: character growth, the relationship she had with her dad. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: thought they really brought all of that together well. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it was more of an ensemble cast as opposed to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a hallmark romance. Well right, so hold on, I'm looking
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: for that note. That's what I really liked about this
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: movie is that the story was about Josie. It wasn't
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: about Josie and Cooper and their buddying romance, like that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: was all secondary to the overall story. And I just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: thought it was such a nice departure.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: They loved it. I liked that they didn't feel the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: need to run the relationship. We just to the beginning
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of it and that's okay. That's where they were in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this movie. The main storyline about Josie choosing to stay
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: home and parent these kids, I felt like was the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: story that we needed resolution and it's okay that we're
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just getting the beginning of the next part, right, I.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Think so too, and oh so on imdbat. The reviews
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, this needs to be a series because
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: now we need to sew and we need to see
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: what happens to you know, Cooper and Josie and blah
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah whatever, which I would I would totally
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: be down with that. Sure. The fact that Tyler Hines
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: played kind of a secondary role kind of surprised me. Yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know he was top billed for this movie,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: but like he wasn't so much part of I don't know.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I just kind of surprised that he took a role
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: like that. But I liked a minute And tell me
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: what you said that you liked so much about him?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I like his acting is very subtle,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and the things that get me are just the way
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he throws a line away every now and then, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I believe it. I feel like he would be fun
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to talk to him a life like. I think he's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: probably funny because he kind of plays that natural comedy.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: There's a line when she thinks he's proposing and he's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: just asking to borrow the truck, and he goes, what
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: do you think we're talking about? She goes marriage and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he goes what, like just his tiny little what was
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: played so perfectly and if he didn't catch it, It's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: definitely worth going back and watching Okay because it struck me.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Well, he gives me Tim McGraw vibes.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what it is.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I like him too. And what I really liked about
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: this role for him is every other Tyler Hines movie
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that I have seen this past year, he always is
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: this jerk off, like he is snarky and not so
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: nice and thinks he's right about everything. It's like a
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: lot of like mel toxic masculinity. Right, This was not
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: that role for him. He was kind. He was caring,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Like that scene when he sees her at like the
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: sister's like wake or whatever, and he's like, how are
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you and she's like starts rattling off about the kids.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, how are you? And I was like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: oh my god, and my husband walked in he goes,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: are you crying? And I was like, I'm not crying
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: at this movie. Yeah, he did it for me too
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: in this movie. I really enjoy him as an actor.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have anything else you liked, Yeah, I do okay,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I do okay.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Gregory Harrison played her dad. He's been in a ton
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: of stuff, like forever, right, I don't know when he
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: turned into a grandpa with gray hair, but he's been
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: in a ton of stuff. But he was such an
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: asshole in this role. Like I hated her dad, Like
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I don't really like have these kind of feelings towards characters,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: but maybe it just like struck a nerve for me.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I was like, you're so mean to her, like, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: she and you could see she was questioning, why is
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: he mad at me? He's disappointed in me, blah blah
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah whatever, And I just was like,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I really thought it was good acting.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, I believed it, and I was upset with him
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and I didn't like the way he treated her, And
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they had a whole arc where they brought
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it home and she has a conversation with him and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: they come to an understanding. But yes, I agree, I
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: believed him as the disappointed dad, yeah, who didn't not even.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Her right, And then finally the scene at the very
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: top when she gets the phone call that her sister
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: has been killed. She brought it lazy sh schbrae whatever.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: She was so good it was it brought me to tears.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Is that when you cried too?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: There when she walks into the house and she sees
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: her mom. Yeah, she goes upstairs to Delilah, and you know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you can just I thought Delilah's acting was great in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that moment where you can tell she's just kind of crushed,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that whole montage of moments where it's very fresh. And
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: then of course at her the funeral services, and then
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I was a little worried. I was like, am I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: going to cry through this entire thing?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And I did not?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: That kind of that was it. Once we moved on,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I was not crying anymore. But it did. I cried.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It was a legit movie, all right. So what'd you
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: wish for?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Well? As much as I liked that we just see
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the beginning of their relationship and I think that was
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: appropriate for this movie, it did leave me wishing for more.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I want more Josie and Cooper. And like you said,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I would be quite open to a sequel.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder, Yeah, they could totally do a sequel
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: for this movie or a series or something. I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: think these two actors would do a series, but definitely
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a sequel. And because since it's not tied to like
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: a seasonal, it's not a seasonal movie, they can like
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: drop it anywhere. Yeah. I liked it. I wish that
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: they didn't need the Tony storyline. Her boyfriend Tony, who
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: was like busy with work and then he like calls
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and he's like such a jerk. I'm like, her sister
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: just died, dude, She's not rushing back to New York
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to be with you, who You're never home anyway, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: what the heck?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I thought their breakup was so awkward, And I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that's such a good point we always have when they
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: find any relationship, we often have them already in a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: relationship that's not good for one reason or another. And
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think we needed that. But and their breakup
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: was so awkward when she calls and he's like, this
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: isn't working for me. But of course she's not rush back.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: She has these two children now, and then she finally goes,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I think this is over, like well.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then he's but he also says, like I
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: think we know it's been over for a while, where
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: why are you calling her to get her back to town? Then?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Like that didn't right, Petty? Since right, when are you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: coming back so I can break up you in person?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like have a little sympathy, dude. Yeah, and I was.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't like him. Also, I need some explanation on
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Tyler's hair.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I know I talked about this in every movie. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: just can't figure it out. To me, it looks like
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: he's growing it out like long, which is fine, but
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: he just has like a massive head of hair. I think.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I was looking at his Instagram and there's a
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: photo I don't know when it was taken where the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: sides of his head are shaved. Oh, but it's longer
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: on top, and I wondered if they were trying because
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: like maybe that wasn't the look, like the hip look
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that they needed for.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: This high school basketball Yeah whatever.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: They just kind of like it was like a combover
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: situation where they're trying to cover up, and so they
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: kept it long on top because we've seen it where
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: he has long hair but it's tamed, and in this case,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it was not tamed. It was just kind of like
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a shaggy long hair look and look I enjoy Tyler
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Hines quite a bit. I have objectified him many times
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: on this podcast. But yes, his hair was a mystery
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to me, and I did find myself looking at it
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: quite a.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Bit, and it looks so much darker than it has
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: been in other movies too, So yeah, maybe maybe there
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: was something going on there. I don't know. I wouldn't
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: mind running my fingers through it. But I mean, I
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: think we're officially heinies. Megan hashtag old ladies for heinee.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: So that's funny.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Did you see that?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, I have a couple.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I liked her mirror to do list. I thought, oh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I should do that in the morning when I.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, my my god, Megan, you know, it is so funny.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: When I saw that, I was like, oh, they're talking
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Megan's language here. She probably loves that so much.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I love a to do list, another one that like
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: stares me in the face. Literally, I'm totally doing that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: putting a whiteboard marker in my grawer.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you should. Okay, did you notice while
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: they were baking cookies that there was candy jars on
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: the countertop? I did, but they were filled with candies
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: that you wouldn't put in cookies, and I swear candies, Yes,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I swear. I saw runs and Life Savers and then
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I saw M and ms, which okay, fine, but like
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: when you don't put those other candies and cookies, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: would be terrible.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Agree. I noticed. I thought it was maybe just for
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: color and filling in the table, but yeah, and.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, it looked beautiful, but no, you don't put the candies.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Did you notice too? You know they had the flower
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: scene right that, you know flower when they were throwing
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the flower aking flower. Okay, I think recently we talked
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: about this happening in another movie and you're like, that's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the driest pantry I've ever seen, right, yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, riest food fight.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, well I know this is like a food fight too,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: but it's just with the flower. But Lacey ship whatever,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I can't I'm just gonna call her Lacey because I
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: cannot say her last name. Anyway, she gets nailed in
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the face with flower, and like, I think it's a
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: legit nailing because her reaction was like so startled, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I laughed out loud. I thought it was so funny.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked that, and I also like that there's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: no dialogue in that moment. Once they start, they're just
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: like laughing. Because the issue we had in the other
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: movie is they get into the food fight. There's a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: flubbed line. I'm certain of it. They leave it in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the movie because at this point they're dirty. They don't
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: want to reset the scene. It was a smart move
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to just have this be a playful scene because there's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: nothing to really ruin, right, Like you can just add
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the funny flower throwing, right They just you know, told
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: them to go for it. So I enjoyed that scene.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Now as a watcher, I was like, I would die
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: if that was my kitchen.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I was so pissed if.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: People threw flower in my kitchen.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, I left her ring light on her video call.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so funny. Only we would notice
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: It was huge. Did you see it?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I really did or not.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. I had a full tabletop ring light,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and I thought you came here like in a rush.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Did you actually pack your ring light? Did somebody here
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: have one? Did you run out and get one? But
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I did appreciate that dedication to the good video call lighting.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was so funny when she went
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: to pick those kids up from school and she was
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: dressed from the top up, and I thought like, that
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: wasn't I didn't think it was going to be a
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: dress because I was like, oh, of course, that makes
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: perfect sense, Like she was only from the top up.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: You know, that's why she's wearing sweats. But then the
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: mom calls her out on it, and it was a
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: very funny line. I thought, like, everybody who's been home
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: for the last year and who has done zoom calls
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: knows you're not gonna get fully dressed.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was such a mom thing to be like,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: let's go fix your outfit.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was super funny.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Did you notice towards the end of the movie, she
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: gets out of bed and she's sleeping in her robe.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Over No, No, do you do that?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I know you use I use a robe. You put
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it on when you get out of bed.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, why would you be And unless it was
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: very cold, I don't know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Did you notice when she when she blew the circuit
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: breaker or whatever with her hair iron and whatever, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: she's like this, I knew this old house. Would it
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: be able to handle this? I was like, it's not
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: an old house, Like, there's a plenty fine house that
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: be able to handle a circuit breaker.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, there's nothing about that house that makes it look old.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: No, nothing, That's all I have. Do you have anything
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: else I do? Via IMDb there somebody had noted that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: there's a flashback scene when the sister and her the
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: sister was pregnant and they were taking photos. The sister
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: has the same phone case as the one that the
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: mom pulled out of her purse, where she's like, Oh,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: it's so and So's phone.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: What do I do with it?
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same phone case. But we're supposed to believe this
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: is like years and years apart. You know.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I did appreciation their dedication to those flashback scenes
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: into having so many photos family photos and photos of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the sisters. It's just a nice little added detail that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: they actually took the photos and put them in frames
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't just Lazy's childhood photos. It was like
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the cast and they yeah, staged it to make them
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: look younger and different stages of life.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I agree. What would you rate this movie?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Megan? I rate this a three and a half star movie.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: WHOA I only gave it three. What's rest I don't
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: know why. I'm very arbitrary. There's no rules.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, so I think, oh wait, hold on,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you something. Remind me after. I
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: think it was a universal story of grief. It can
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: be played throughout the year. It had great acting, it
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: was a great story, and it broke from the Hallmark template.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: That's why I gave it such a high rating. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: loved it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I started watching and it I will admit. We've
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: talked about this before. You know, these movies come on
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, and sometimes watching them over the weekend
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: feels a little bit like a chore. But I started
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: watching and I didn't want to stop, Like I wanted
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to just sit there and watch this full two hour movie.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Me too. I highly recommend it, me too for the.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Non Hallmark fan Like, even if you're not a reg
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Hallmark watcher, I think you might enjoy this one.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I think so too.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: All Right, guys, we've talked about this in the past,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: but Hallmarks system of announcing their upcoming movies is imperfect.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: So the research that I have done this morning via
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the app and via their website, and you can email
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: us and correct me if I'm wrong, tells me that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: between now and June fifth, when Summer Night starts, there
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: is no currently scheduled original programming. We've been wrong in
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the past, but my understanding is we have a two
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: week break. We will be back the week of June
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: fifth with the first of the Summer Night's movies.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, you had me at Aloha, and I'm very excited
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: because I love me Hawaii so me too, and it
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: just has.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: All those summer cute sundress umbrella in your drink vibes
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: going for it. I'm ready, especially after the Ice Hotel
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: movie last week. So there will be a two week
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: break from Girls Gone Hallmark, but never you fear, we
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: will be back until then. Make sure to check out
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: our regular podcasts every Tuesday. Those aren't going anywhere. Have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a great weekend, everybody. Goodbye bye
