• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Ah? Crap, I don't have it. I don't have a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: computer with me. Wait, I have a phone.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I thought that's much. You were scrolling for me every week?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Every week. I forget you guys, Like how many weeks
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we've been doing?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It was even delayed. I was like vamping, killing time.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Hold on, let me pull it up. Okay, here it is,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: aspiring master Somma, Yeah, I can't do that. You wan
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to say it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you need to say it like that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Whatever. She's like a wine lady. She returns to her
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: family's vineyard to study. I can't even can you read it?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm reading the IMDb review. Raise the Glass to Love
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: follows aspiring master Somlier Jenna, who returns to her family
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: vineyard to study and is fascinated by the natural methods
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of the new winemaker, Marcello. Let's do news and notes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And this was filmed in British Columbia's supposed to be Sonoma.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It's not. Sonoma is located on the central coast of California.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Am I correct? Yes?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Have you been a Sonoma. I've never been there before.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't been in many years, but yes, I've been once.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Did you do wine tasting? No? No, okay, it was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like a we went for dinner. We were in San
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Francisco visiting people and went for dinner.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I jumped on the jet and flew over to Sonoma
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: for dinner and then flew back to us. That's right,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that's right, fancy.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So it stars Juan Pablo de Pace. I am probably
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: saying that wrong, is it depache?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I don't really know. I have no idea.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know either. He has quite an extensive filmography
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: if you look at his IMDb, not just Fuller House,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but he is most notably recognizable as Fernando from Fuller House.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Wendy has the dog full on climbing into her lap.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Did he lick your mouth my nose? Yeah, he's trying
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to get comfortable. Okay, you can have that spot by.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Normally we lock him out, but there's too much happening
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in the house. I'm sorry, it's okay, okay. Even my
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: children walked in the room, they're like, is that Fernando.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: More about him later. I hated the character Fernando on
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Fuller House. It was so over the top. For me.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It's very over the top. And I have to say
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that I appreciated his character so much on this because
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he has a real understated kind of vibe.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, yeah, his character.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's like the foil to Kimmy Gibbler,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: so he had to be a little bit over the top.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I have a real like bone to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: pick with Kimmy Gibbler character.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Why because somebody told you looked like her?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, I get real triggered.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: She's first of all, I don't think you do. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I also think she's a pretty adult. Yes, but we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: looked like sisters when we were teenagers. Okay, yeah. Somebody
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was like, is that Kimmy Gibbler.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I was like, fuck up.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: She lives in Orange County. It also stars Laura Ostnas.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Would you like to talk about the controversy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I want to hear it, and I know you know
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: more about it than I do.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So I was doing a little bit of research and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Laura Ostnas has made new lately because she has taken
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: some anti COVID vaccine stances, and there was some question.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: She recently left a production. There was an article written
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that had said she had been asked to leave. She
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: came out and said she left because COVID protocols changed
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: requiring the vaccine, and so she was no longer able
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to stay on the production. There's some back and forth
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: going around. Of course, some people support her decision and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: some people are saying there are going to be consequences.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Probably most famously, Javier Muno's who you will know best
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: from the cast of Hamilton played Hamilton, wrote an open
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: letter to her. It's on his Instagram and essentially said, look,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to shame you, but I will tell
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you that I stand behind did the decisions of places
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: like Broadway that's requiring vaccinations for all of its cast
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and crew, requiring vaccinations for those attending shows. He has
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a very personal story, both as someone who immunocompromised and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: as someone who has had a lot of loss due
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to COVID in his life, and so I think that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: this is just something that people are going to have
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to live with. If you are choosing not to get vaccinated,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I think the consequences are going to be farther reaching
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: moving forward. And I think for someone she's better known
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: as a stage actress as opposed to a film actress,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and I think those live venues are going to be
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: harder and harder for her to work in for the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: time being. And you said she had won a Tony
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: or was only not She was twice nominated for Tony.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So it's so interesting that the guy that played Hamilton,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I can't remember his name, that you just said that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he would come for her, but that
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he wrote an open letter to her about it. Because
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: she's not like a big star name in Broadway is she?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I think she's big ish and I don't think the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: community is that big.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, very interesting. So I'm guessing Hallmark only requires
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: like a like a quarantine. Well maybe Canada requires the I.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Believe it's Canada that requires the quarantine.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Hallmarks COVID protocols are on set.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that there's testing requirements everybody. I know, everybody,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I know, the one person I know who works on television,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and then the podcast that I listen to where they
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: talk about it. I know that there have been testing
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: requirements on most film and television shows Got It, So
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that she participated in that Got It.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Also on this cast we have Beverly Elliott. She plays Peggy.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I believe she's aunt Peggy. I don't know, she's the redhead. Okay.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: She was also in Don't Go Break in My Heart,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: which was the breakup boot camp movie. But longtime Girls
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Gone Hallmark listeners will know this is a running theme.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: She also had a long time recurring role in Once
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Upon a Time. I was gonna say it, I yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: as soon as her face popped on screen, I'm terrible
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: at recalling where I know someone from, but as soon
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as she popped on screen, I said, I know her,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and so I had to go on for.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Whom she was interesting. I saw that this movie wrapped
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: filming July twenty fifth. That's kind of a long time
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: ago for a Hallmark movie. I think. Here's my thoughts. Yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: this was going to go in the Summer Nights movie
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: lineup somewhere, and they just pushed it to Fall.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like we can talk about this later. This
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: movie does not have a strong seasonal tie at all
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: any season, and I think sometimes they do that and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: they leave it kind of open ended and it can
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: go one way or the other.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So maybe they didn't have enough movies for the Fall
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: lineup and then they were like, well, let's just throw
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: this guy in here.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the final Summer Night's movie, Journey of My Heart,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't strongly Summer other than she wears shorts in the movie.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's one of those. And we know
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that some of these movies come down to the wire.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So I make this speculation knowing absolutely nothing, but I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: suspect that perhaps some of these things they just kind
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of don't strongly tie to one season or another and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: then use them where they need to.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I can imagine they have like a handful of
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: non themed movies and then when they just plug them
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: when they need to. Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: What was your first impression of this movie?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Let me see, I wrote down not good.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I wrote pretty to look at, but not much substance.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So boring, Like I can't even remember the middle part
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: of this movie. I very forgettable.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: What did you like about this movie? Though?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: A few things? Okay, First of all, the scenery beautiful, gorgeous,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: beautiful part of British Columbia. I would love to visit there. Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I like the winery scenes. I like seeing them apple picking,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: although I was like, is that real? I do think
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that was a real apple orchard where they were, but
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: it was. I agree the scenery yet again.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Best part of the movie. I know they and when
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: they pull up to like her family house or whatever
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it is, I thought it looked like the Bachelor house.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I know it's not, because I know The Bachelor is
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: not filmed in British Columbia, Canada, but it's film heare
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, right, But that style, it looks exactly
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: A Beautiful Home. I liked one Pablo. I enjoyed him.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Like you said, his Fuller House character's way over the top.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I just you know, he's kind of got that scruffy look.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He's kind of soft spoken, He's very nice to look at.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed his character. I just I enjoyed him. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: would be happy to see him return in another Hallmark movie.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't hate him. I just didn't like
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: this role. I didn't like this movie. So I want
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to see him as something different. And he has those
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like really cute natural curls in his hair, but they
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: were always hanging down on his forehead and it drove
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: me nuts. I wanted to like push them out of
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: his face.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Do you think Queen of Christmas Candice Cammon Brewery had
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a hand in him getting a role homework movie?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I bet he's like Candice, Yo, I need to work.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Can you hook me up with somebody at homework? Yeah? Yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: maybe right? Don't you think so? All right? I mean,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: we're gonna see Kimmy Gibbler in a Christmas movie this.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Well, and I haven't we just haven't we seen Jody
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Sweeten in a I love Jody Sweeten I follow her
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: on Instagram.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I she's damn funny. She has a really funny podcast too.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Really uh huh.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And I would love to see her in a Homewark movie. Yeah,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I would love it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: What did you wish for?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: God?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: This should be such an easy one.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I know, Okay, So I wished the first thing was
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: less whining from the lead character, the girl. I just thought, like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you know, she didn't pass the test and this, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: then okay, I always and then I want to get
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: a job as a master saw him at her boyfriend's
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: restaurant or whatever. I like, you're so whiny. Stop it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I wished for less wine sniffing and swirling.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I so much right the whole movie.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I understand she has this big goal of becoming a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: master som and that is a big part of the movie.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It was so much. It was so much swirling. Here's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: what I wonder, if you are a wine maker, do
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you have to do that with every single glass of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: wine you doing?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Ever?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And maybe you do, But maybe we didn't need to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: see it in the movie. I don't know.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I just maybe find it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Hard to believe that every single time these people sit
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: down to dinner, they're sniffing and swirling their glass of
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: wine and if they are fine. But it was just
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: so much of this two hour movie. I was tired
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I agree, I was tired of it. I was like, please,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: no more with the sniff, Like, what did you say earlier?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Smells like ocean breeze or some like that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: She does say it smells like the ocean breeze.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Give me a break.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't smell like the ocean breese.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So I thought this story overall was boring, And like,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: tell you what.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Jody Sweeten has been in one, two, three, four.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: At least four? Well, not in the last year that
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I've watched them, There's no way. Our most recent was
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, maybe this year. Anyway, Sorry, it's all right.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I thought the whole middle part of
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: this movie was so boring. And was there a spelling
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: be in this movie? Or am I confusing it with
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: something else?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The spelling bee is in Taking the Leap?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: But what is what is in this movie where Wan
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Pablo to Pace is up against something with a little
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: girl bobbing for apple? Oh my god, see you guys
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: don't Oh oh, this makes so much more sense now
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: because I was like, why does he look so wet?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: God does this look away from the screen. I was
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: probably scrolling on my phone for the ten minutes that happened. Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: oh my god, that's so funny.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have anything else you wished for?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I just wish that I cared more about these characters.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I did not at all. I didn't care if she
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: became a master som. I didn't care if he went
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to Australia. I don't care if they got together at
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the end.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: So we haven't discussed Aiden at all. I don't even
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: know what category to put him in. The boyfriend oh.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Again, kind of problematic for me that she's flirting with
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: somebody when she's together with somebody.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking about that too. We have two
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: movies in a row where we have these relationships that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: currently exist while the other relationship is developing. And while
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I did not like Aiden at all, I mean I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: felt like from the very beginning it was very clear
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that he was not on team Jenna. It just seemed
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: so odd to me that we have this opening scene
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and she like wants a job, is a smaller and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he has a restaurant, and like, why was there never
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: any discussion of her taking that job up until the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: moment that she finally like breaks down and he doesn't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: give it to her.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I don't And what is he the general manager of
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the restaurant?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I didn't fully understand
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: he owns the restaurant. Okay, whatever said, but I didn't
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like him and he was kind of condescending to her.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And is he a master song? Oh? He is he is.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But still I mean, okay, okay, that's till I got
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I have a couple. Did you see that? Okay? One,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Jenna is talking to somebody I don't even remember who,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: but they're overlooking like the vineyard, and she says something
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: about fire season. Oh, and I was like, that's such
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a California thing. Yeah. Fire season is a real thing
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: here in California. Yeah, we are probably in it right now,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: don't you think so?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and northern California's on fire.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially on the Central coast, it's very likely
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: that that area burns this time of year or so.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It was funny that she'd mentioned fire season. I was like, yes,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: this is somebody from California who wrote this.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: So I have a dig.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: You see that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I have a couple, but none of them are directly
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: related to scenes in the movie, because I had a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: really hard time finding did you see that moment in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the baby? So one, I have the question, Well, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: would just like to address there's no fall in this movie,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: like at all.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I have that too, at all.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: But I also did you know that they are launching
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a Hallmark Channel wine club? No?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Is that why they did this movie?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, and I didn't watch any of the commercials,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: so I don't know if they addressed it. But Hallmark
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: has sold wines in the past. They have Jingle and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Joy for Christmas, and then there's like Love and Bliss
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: or there's two kind of Valentiney themed wines and you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: can order them online on their website, and I believe
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: they're about fourteen dollars a bottle, which is pretty reasonable
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I think for yeah, this kind of themed wine. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: they are launching a wine club and you can get
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a three, six or twelve dollars subscription that is delivered quarterly,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and the wine options have names like Autumn Dreams and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: snow Kiss. Oh boy, I'm gonna order some report back.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that could possibly have something to do with
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: why this movie was made. But I know you can
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: usually find those wines like at World Market of the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Hallmark Wines.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I oh so, I remember. I can't remember if
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I saw it was the wines or it was something.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Team I've seen the teas.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe not the wine but interesting, Yeah, so funny.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I agree. I have a note here that there's no
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: fall content in this movie. There's not a one fall decoration. Nothing.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were hit over the head with it in
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: last week's movie and now but.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: We're watch I'm I'm mentally prepared for fall movies. Give
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: me all the fall feels, right, this had none of it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: My husband was like, was that festival of fall festival?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I mean bobbing for apples? But it didn't have a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: fall festival feel. And that may have been what it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was called, but it wasn't like there were fake leaves
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: on the ground and it didn't feel like a fall
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: festival to me.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: There was also another part in this movie when she
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: did finally get hired at Aiden's restaurant as the Mastersaalm.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Just to sell Malia she's not a mess whatever.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: She didn't have her title yet. She was just the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: so Malie that she was like, I'm going to wrap
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: up and leave early, and I was like, you're on
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: dinner service, lady. You can't like just be like, Okay,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here. I gotta leave. And then she's
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: like and then tomorrow I can't come in, And he
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: was like, we need you. Yeah, you've hired you. You
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: need to be here. And she's like, how dare you
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: put all this pressure on me? When I heard my
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: test the big day, I was like, bitch, you took
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the job. I was like, you don't get to dictate
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: your schedule now. Maybe you should have talked to somebody
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: about that before. Except hundred percent get out.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: So in terms of becoming a master, so Maier, first
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: of all, Jennifer Huther plays herself in this movie. She's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: one of only twenty eight female master psalms.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: In the world.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But I have a couple so Malier comments. One is
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I read a review on IMDb and the review said
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the boyfriend of the female lead won't hire her because
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: she isn't a master sol Malier. I googled it and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: there've only been two hundred and sixty nine worldwide who
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: have obtained it. Since the certification was created in nineteen
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: sixty nine, so the statistical possibility of his hire requirement
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: is beyond ridiculous, which agreed totally. Also, there has been
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: some controversy in the world the Master Soul Malier because
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen there was a cheating scandal at the test.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Apparently there was some information about the tasting portion of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the test that was released, and so there were Normally
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the average is like seven people who pass. The year
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: before it had been like thirteen. This year it was
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: in the twenties, and all but one of them had
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: their titles revoked because one person took a separate like
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: he had done his tasting at a separate time, so
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he didn't have the information, suspect. And since then nine
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of them have taken and passed, but I don't know
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: if the others tried. There's a lot of information. I
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: didn't read all of the information, but if you google
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: so Malier cheating, there's a lot of information and apparently
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: it's a big freaking deal. I mean, make a movie
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: about that, yeah, And there is a if you want
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: more information. Because this is such a wild world to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: me that I know nothing about, and as they're smelling wine,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: They're like smells like plums, smells like slate, smells like
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what the heck are you talking about. There's
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a documentary called PM It's from twenty twelve OMM and
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: if you want more information about what that actually is like,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you can check that documentary out. I actually my very
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: brief googling before recording. I think there's maybe multiple seasons,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: but it is still out there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Well full confession. I asked Megan before we started recording.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I was like, so, how do wines taste like certain things?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Because don't they just come from grapes? Like, I have
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: no idea, Yeah, how does it taste like plum and slate? Whatever?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: What the hell isn't slate like a mineral?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I didn't know the answer to that, so
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: we googled it. And so basically, like the age of
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the grape can affect like sometimes grapes smell or taste
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like other fruits. The acidity and the soil I think
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: can affect how long something is fermented. So when they
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: say like, oh, it has notes of plum, it's not
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that they're adding plum to it. It's just that something
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: about the way that grape was cultivated resulted in like
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: plumby taste. Also, if they're fermented in barrels, sometimes there
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: are flavors that the barrels can impart to the lines. Yeah, okay,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And then they were saying like vanilla or smoky or
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about wine quite frankly.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Nothing, zero things. Can we wrap this up? You want
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: to tell me what you thought about this movie?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, Look, I know you're thinking, I'm going to give
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it a one.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not what.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I found this movie boring, but I didn't hate it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: It's a two. It's a two out of four stars.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: For me, that's a fifty percent. That's not a great score.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But it's not a journey of my life, journey of
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: my heart whatever that on the wings of love. It's
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: not that. For me.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: This was a two star.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: It was a two.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I gave it a one. Sorry, just was not
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: into it whatsoever. Next week's movie is Taking the Reins
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: with Nikki de la Roach. Nope, that's nice. I wonder
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: how often that happens to her and is also in
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: it and Scott Porter. And Scott Porter you may know
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: as Jason Street from Friday Night Lights. He was also
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: in We discussed this last week Card of Dixie. I'm
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: kind of excited about this. I'm not zero person excited
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: because I don't see any fall things. Horses not fall things.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Oh wow. Sorry.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Nikki Delouch was in a movie during the Christmas season
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: called A Cranberry Christmas and she played a woman. She
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and her husband were kind of estranged and trying to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: figure out if they were going to officially end things.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: And I find it interesting that this obviously she's divorced
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in this movie, but similar similar storyline of my re
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: kindling her past marriage is love because we all know
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. Oh, by the way, Juan Pablo,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: we got an I Love You at the end of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: this movie, and I yelled at the TV screen. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: was like, we know she goes back to the farm.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: We know the time, it's a month before the exam. No,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not on board with it. You don't need to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: love her. You don't need to love her yet. All right, guys,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: that wraps up our thoughts on raise a glass to
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: love will be it's taking the rains of love or
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: just taking the rains.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: All these names. Oh, they're really getting mashed up in
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: our brains. I think next week is taking the rains
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: no of love.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Don't you feel like the rains of love.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: On the wings of love?
