• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Sure at the podcast, I'm Megan, I'm Wendy, and today
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we're discussing a Second Chance at Love, the very first
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: movie in Hallmarks Spring Into Love series for twenty twenty two.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Wanted to welcome all of our new listeners. Girls Gone
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Hallmark is what we call our weekly bonus Hallmark review episodes,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: but we're not just Hallmark reviewers. Every Tuesday we put
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: out a new podcast episode where we chat about life
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and the things we love. And this week's episode was
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: all about our favorite cleaning hack schedules and strategies. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: if you don't think that sounds like a good time,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: then I don't know what to say to you. Plus,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we also send a few minutes at the top of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: each episode checking in with each other, and we close
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: each episode with an approved item something we're loving. It's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a good time. We'd love it if you would check
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: those out if you are a Hallmark only listener. Wenday, Yo,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it's time for a second chance at love? Yeah, do
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you have a synopsis? We do? Are you ready? Alicia
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and our Arnold. His name's not Arnold, is it Arnold? Yeah?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I wrote in my notes Arnold, Arthur, and August. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: don't know what is going on with me, so you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: will probably hear me refer to him as Arthur later
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on because in my notes anyway, Okay, well, I'm starting
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: over the synopsis. Alicia and Arnold's marriage is picture perfect,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: picture perfect. However, Arnold is ready to grow their family,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: but Alicia is hesitant to the idea. Rather than facing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the problem, Alicia sets her divorced parents each up on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a blind date dating app. This synopsis is not a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: true reflection of this movie. I don't think. Oh agree,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, those things happen, but it should read something
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like Brenda and Jack reconnect after years of doors. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: don't know something, yes, while Alicia struggles to find independence
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: from her parents exactly now. When we recorded our spring preview,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we thought, now, correct me if I'm wrong. We thought
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: this movie was going to be more heavily focused on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Arnold and Alisha. I agree, and I think we were wrong.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Well that's in fact my first impression, which isn't normally now,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: but I will say it now, is that I was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: very pleasantly surprised by the balance of the younger and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the older couple in this movie, because I was worried
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that they would lean too hard on the Alicia and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Arnold's storyline, and I felt there was a great balance,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and I thought they did service to Brenda and Jack's story.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I agree. Now, I want to ask you, what do
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you think that the age demo is for Homewark Channel.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know the answer. I'm just asking what you're
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: what you think it is. I would guess that they
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: do really well in the like thirty five to fifty four,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Demo and up. Okay, So why do you think they
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: push movies so hard with young actors and actresses. Well,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that's not a Hallmark only thing. That is movies in general.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We hear all the time about actors age out of roles,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: particularly women. So I agree that Hallmark focus is really
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: hard on young love, first love, falling in love, getting
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: married and I loved. We've been asking for this very specifically.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: We use the phrase a second chance at love. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: have a note on that later, and then they called
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the movie a second Chance at Love. I think. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: think it's just what entertainment does. I just think that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Hallmark is not serving its viewers. I agree, and I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: know I've said it before, and I feel like I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: say it a again and again and again. But I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: out of the season of life about getting married that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: first love, Yeah, planning a wedding. Then I really want
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to watch stories movies whatever where I'm at in my life. Okay,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: here's my question, though, Okay, do you really I do?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I really do? So I am tired of like longing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for the past days gone by. Yes, I that's a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: great point, and I'm just sitting here thinking to take
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a left turn in terms of content.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You are, and I am fans of Bravo programming a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: number of their shows. But let's take the Real Housewives specifically. Okay,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I watched the Orange County Housewives. We live in Orange County.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I don't find them at all relatable, agree, but I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: find them entertaining. Maybe that's a different thing because I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to watch the pta Moms of Central
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Orange County on Bravo by third do I know? But
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: maybe I do want to watch a fictionalized scripted story
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: about real people that I can relate to. Let me
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: talk about that book that I read on our Pop
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Culture Club episode from a couple months ago. Okay, it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was called what Now. It was either called The Flat
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Share or it was called The Idea of You, The
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Idea Yes You. And that was a story about a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: middle aged not quite middle aged woman I think she's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: thirty nine in the late thirties, yes, falling in love
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but like a twenty one year old Hey Hollmark, make
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: some movies like that, right, Like, it doesn't have to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: be as like that book was very steamy and racy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be that give me a watered down
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: version of that, Like I that's the kind of I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to say that's the only movie I want
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to watch on Homewark, but I want to see a variety.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I want to see a variety like show me that,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: or show me or you know, I want to see
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you know you said, like you don't want to watch
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Pta Moms of Central Orange County. Fine, but I also
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to watch like a movie about a man
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and woman who've been married twenty years and just struggling
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: through the day to day. They don't have anything to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: talk about anymore, No, but they can make it a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: romantic story, you know what I mean? Like, I just
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I just want to see some of that, and I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: am glad that this movie had a little bit of it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I agree, I was very I enjoyed this movie. Spoiler alert. Okay,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: so let's get into News and Notes. You already gave
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: your first impression and I will give mine after we
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: do News and Notes. Okay, Okay. This movie filmed Canada,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: mostly around Vancouver, also film during late January early February,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: which quick turnaround, real quick. Yeah, for the first movie
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in the lineup. Kind of surprised that it had that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: short of turnaround. Yeah, I agree. And they've been promoting
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: this movie longer than the others, which means I'm going
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to assume that the others had an equally short turnaround.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be like late February March. This was filmed
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: because before we got a full Spring into Love lineup,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we got the March lineup, And the only movie that's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: officially part of Spring and to Love to Aaron March
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is this movie right here. Yeah, a second chance at Love. Now.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've talked this to death, but I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: would like to point out the two of the stars
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of this movie, Eric Lasal and Gloria Rubin acted together
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in Er. They have not been on screen together in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: twenty years. That's a long time. I was thrilled to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: see them back together. I was a big er fan.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Were they on in the early days of R like
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they were they original cast. I read that Eric Lasal
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was in one hundred and seventy one episodes of ER.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Oh wow. I think he sharded as like a resident
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: or like, I think he worked his way up. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: don't think he was. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but Eric
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Lasal I think was on the majority of the time.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Whether he was really the pilot, he was a one
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one episodes of VRS. I don't know
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: how many, how many seasons A lot of seasons of VR.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I have vivid memories of the opening of him, like
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: sliding along the floor doing in his scrubs doing Oh,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that's funny, I guess celebration. My memory of him is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: he was kind of like a grumpy Gus on that show. Yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but I haven't seen it in so long. I don't
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: know if i've wreckon that in my mind. I think
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he was just like super intense about his job. Yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but I was happy to see them back on screen together.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And Eric Lestyle himself recently signed a three book deal
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: for a crime thriller series. And what I liked about
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the story I didn't like. Let me tell you. He
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: submitted several book repolesals and had them refused and finally
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: was able to get one picked up. And I don't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: like that he worked so hard, But I liked the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: success story. I don't like the multiple rejections, but I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: like the look. There was a success at the end
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of this out of perseverance. And I love a crime film.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm thrilled for you. They call them gritty
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: crime novels into it. The working title of this movie
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: was called I Do Again. Now, Oh, okay, what do
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you do again? Here's what I think. I think someone
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: from Hallmark is listening to our podcast because we said specifically,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and if I could go back and find the episode,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I will link it in our show notes. But I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: said specifically, or we did, we want a second chance
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that love stories and then wamma, you guys, there's a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: movie called that. It's not like those are like uncommon words. No,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up. I'm gonna see if I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: can find it. I know we specifically use the word
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: second chance love. I remember I was in my closet
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: recording and at a time I remember it too specific
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I vividly remember it as well. I do. I know
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we said it, and I would you know. I don't
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: know if you remember, but we used to do I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: know you remember this, but we used to do Big
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Brother predictions at the beginning of every season, and then
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: we would do some thoughts throughout the season. And at
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: one point there was a cast member named Winston Yes,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: oh yes, and he and another cast member were very similar.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And I in a video called he and the other
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: cast member. I said hashtag Twinston yes, and then they
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: use that on the episode. Yeah, and somebody is watching
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: her stuff. So that seems very That was very specific.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: What else do you have for news and notes? Uh?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Just a small one. Bj Harrison was in this movie.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: She played Mi Ma I love Beja Harrison And I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: don't even know if she had any lines in this
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: movie other than I'm going on a date. I got
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a friend coming over. Yeah. She is just one of
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: those Hallmark players. You see her in so many movies,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and sometimes she has like a bigger role, sometimes she
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: has a small little role. I just I get like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: this overwhelming, like feeling of like warmth and happiness when
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I see her. I was gonna say the same thing.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I feel so comforted when she's on screen, you know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, give this woman her own freaking movie. Yes,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Everything's gonna be okay when I see her. Yeah, I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: just love her. I love her. Tell me your first
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: impression of this movie. Here's my first impression, and it
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: really does some have to do with the movie. Oh,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I made a real mistake not adding Eric Lassal to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: my Hot Dude's list. Oh that's a great point. Fifty
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: nine and fine, I was so taken with him. Does
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: he make the list? Though? What was our age limit?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It was fifty five? Oh yeah, I was it fifty
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: five or was it sixty? I can't remember now it
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: had it been fifty five? Maybe? I think you're right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I think you're right for the new listeners. What I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: talking about is several months ago, we did a Hot
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Old Dudes, Hot Old Dudes episode on our regular Tuesday podcast.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I will leave a link to it in our show notes,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: where Megan and I shared our favorite hot old dudes
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and we had a threshold. I think it was sixty.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It must have been fifty five. Yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think it was fifty five because Keanu Reeves is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: like fifty nine and we discussed him. Anyway, I think
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: this is what I'm thinking. I think we're gonna have
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to revisit this topic year after year. Oh yeah, we
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: need some sort of March Madness type like tournament bracket. Yes,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: bracket I'm making with my hands. Bracket is quite impressive.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: You know, that's a that episodes is a good time,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, it was more for us, like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it was a funny idea we had. We thought it
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: would be fun. It's a very popular episode that I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: was surprised by because you never know, I thought people
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: would be like, give me a break, I'm listening to this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It was a good time, and I think people agreed.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So give that one a listen. And Eric Leasal needs
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to be on my indeed, I'm gonna go edit it
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like Eric Lasal. All right, let's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: talk about what we liked about A Second Chance at Love. Okay,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I want to start a real surface level, Okay. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: thought this movie was visually beautiful in a lot of ways.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I loved Alicia's wardrobe throughout m M. I especially loved
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the pink skirt she wore on her honeymoon getaway. It
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: was just this real bright Coraly pink rap skirt, so cute.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: She had great accessories. And I loved the home that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Alicia and Arnold lived in. Real modern, one hundred percent
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: not my style, but every time they did an exterior
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: shot of that house. For some reason, I felt like
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I was in an episode of Modern Family Interest, because
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that's how they would always send her where they were
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is by doing an exterior shot of the family and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: cam and Mitchell Mitchell. I was like, his name is Jesse.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I think in really, I think they lived. Did they
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: live in like a more modern house? I don't remember anyway. Regardless,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed their home. I thought it was really sleek
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and beautiful on the inside and visually. Also, Gloria Rubin
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: as Brenda's wedding dress, did you clock it? No, it
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: was just beautiful. It was pants. It was vance. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: had to rewind it, yes, because oh I just noticed
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the neckline. I just thought it was kind of casual
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is the wrong word, But it wasn't a classic princess
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: ball gown. And I just thought the silhouette. I was like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this is a perfect second wedding to keep. No, gosh,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you guys, I had to keep. And
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it was pants and it was like one hundred percent
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of something I would wear. I love that it's pants.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: That makes me like it even more. Me too, And
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I thought like, oh, did she wear pants throughout the movie,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and I was like, no, just because at that last
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: previous scene she was in a dress. Yeah, and she's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: dancing in skirts often. Yeah, it was very pretty. I'm
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: surprised you didn't put that on in the did you
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: see that moment? Well, it was what I liked. Okay, Well, no,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that's fine. Uh. You talked about this earlier, and I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: agree that. I am so happy that this movie wasn't
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: story heavy on Alicia and Arnold. I was because Arnold sucks.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Arnold did suck. We'll get to that, okay, And I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: was like happy it wasn't like this like twist on
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Mingle all the way, stupid dating app NAFU nonsense. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: mean it did have that, and honestly, they they didn't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: even need that other than like getting them together. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: thought the app itself faded into the background, even though
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the app was created by Arnold's company. Right. I liked that.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I agree that it was not a focus on look
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: at this new fangled app we've created, because guess what
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: happens when you do that? Movie doesn't age? Well, no,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly. I love the music in this movie. Yeah,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught it. I was like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this feels like a very contemporary, and it was. These
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: songs were not like made today, they were popular songs
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of days ago. I was like, hey, look at that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: just the two of us when they're dancing. That's the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: song they have Hotel. I couldn't remember, but they played
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: it at the very beginning too. I was just so
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I just like that, especially in the opening scene. I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: think they're playing just the two of us where it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a young Alicia and she's watching her mom and dad
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: dance in the living room, and I just was like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that makes me so happy, and like I kind of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: wish like my own home was like that. Like, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: my husband and I dancing in the living room where
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: my daughter watching is not something that would ever happen ever,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: But I like the idea of it. Yeah, it just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: feels like warm and sweet, right. I think that was
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the vibe through a lot of this movie. It felt
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: like a warm, happy family. Yes, so many of these
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: movies we have like dire, We're gonna lose the family business,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the home is being four clothes, yeah, right, And there
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't any of that. Yes, there was some relationship drama,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but sometimes I get a little bit stressed out watching
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: these like we're gonna lose it all. Yeah, yeah, I'm
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: glad they didn't. I really really loved how natural Eric
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and Glory were together, Like they just fell into their
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: like old not roles, but like just that old chemistry
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that they've had working years and years together. I just
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: loved it. I agree. I just watching them on screen
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: felt so natural, And when they see each other for
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the first time in the restaurant, it felt like exactly
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: how I would imagine. You know, this is the reason
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you were married to that you loved, and now you're
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: out put supposedly with somebody else running. It's awkward, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I yeah, right. There were some funny lines TONI. We
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: were talking about that restaurant when they run in and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they end up having dinner, and she was like, goes
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to split the bill and he's like, he says to me,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I was loking me break have I ever? I just
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: thought that was good. One of my favorite scenes was
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: at the very end. It was the Christenine scene and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Grandpa Jack was just so excited for his daughter to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: have this baby girl, and I just was like, oh,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I love it. Loved it. So speaking of that christening scene.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: One of the things I loved is I loved the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: whole flash forward element, the where are they now? We
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: had two concurrent storylines happening right, and so I liked
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: that not only do we get to the wedding, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: then we see at the wedding that she's pregnant, and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: then we flash forward even further to the christening and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: everyone has a happy ending, and they cleanly wrapped up
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: both storylines in a believable way. Let's talk about what
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: we wished for. And this is the part of the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: podcast if you're a new listener, where we talk about
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the things that we didn't love so much about the movie. Yeah,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: changes we would make if we were on the writing stuff.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Alicia needs a backbone, okay to her husband or parents
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: or both, I think both. But look, your mother going
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: through a breakup. While it's nice for you to be
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: there for her, is not a tragedy that necessitates you
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: inviting her on your anniversary trip away with your husband.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Never this is ever. I'm gonna call you, mom. I'm
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: gonna they were going away for a weekend, not a month.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Let's have lunch when I come back, mom, not you
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: should come with us. There's no logic in that. Oh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I invited her to come with me. Now I thought
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Arnold sucked and I we will get to that. But
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it was in this moment that I was like, what
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Well? Even the mom she'd been like, no,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: that's a terrible idea. I'm not going to go away
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: on your anniversary weekend. And here's what they ignored. The
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: mom doesn't live alone. She lives with her mother, so
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: she's not sitting at home alone. First of all, she's
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: an adult woman who's gone through a breakup. While she's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: entitled to feel sad, I don't think she needed. This
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: is a woman who's very successful in her career, who
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: has raised a daughter. She didn't need the coddling that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Alicia was giving her, right And so I think they
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: both failed in that moment. And I really think that
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: would have been a moment for mem to step in
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and be like what is happening? Totally, No, stay home, Totally,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I do not care that she invited you. Totally, that
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: would have been a great idea. I thought Arnold wasn't
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: very empathetic to his wife and what she was dealing with. However,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I also thought like Alicia was far too involved in
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: her parents' lives, like it was on the day to day.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I don't talk to my parents on the day to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: day neither do I, and I consider myself very close
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to my parents. Yeah, I two a week. Two. Yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not meeting my dad up for a run and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: then like badgering him over like his recent breakup or whatever.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Like No, And if your parents accidentally meet on a
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: dating app and start dating, I think it is not
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: only okay, but perhaps preferred. And what's the word beyond
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: reasonable for them to keep that information from their daughter. Sure,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: many children of adult parents dream of their parents getting
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: back together. And so if you've gone on one date,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: why give your daughter either false hope or false anxiety
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: or you don't know what's happening. She's not entitled to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the information about your adult dating life exactly. And the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: other thing is tears like they've been divorced for many years,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: are we to say that they I know that Jack
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: obviously was like a serial dater or whatever, And didn't
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: she say something like he always like breaks it off
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: when it gets too close. And I don't know really
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: about the mom, like what her dating history was, But
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I have to assume in all those years that they
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: probably went out on a date or two and the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: daughter has been that involved every single time. Right, too much,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: too much, too much. So let's talk about Arnold. Okay,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I think everyone in this movie could have benefited from
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a lesson in communication. Yes, nobody knows how to communicate well,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and Arnold was passive aggressive. Absolutely, absolutely, Look, we all
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: get frustrated with our partners. That is a reasonable thing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We get frustrated when they make decisions. But there's one
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: point where he kind of just blows her off and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: is not going to talk to her about what he's like.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. No, you say, I'm
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: frustrated because I feel like you're giving too much of
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: your time to your parents, and I feel like we
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: aren't spending any time together and we haven't had a
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: chance to have a conversation. That's what you say. Yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I'm frustrated because I feel like we keep missing each
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: other and every bit of free time we have goes
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: to your parents. You don't say, I don't know what
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to say to you. Well, okay, then there is no
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: solution here. It was like Judy Moody in Bett all
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: by himself or you know, do you remember that scene? No,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it was like dark and he was like in bed
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: by himself, like I think she had gotten homely. Oh
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and his eyes are open and he doesn't roll over
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and look at her. Yeah. I really was like, really,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: are we that mad? Serious? Just not having an affair?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: She was out with her mom. It's not even like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: she was out with like girlfriends or something, you know what.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: To me, she was like with her mom. Come on
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and look, we are at the point. Granted I've said
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: already none of these situations were tragic and they didn't
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: warrant the type of involvement, but we are at the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: point where we do have to attend to our parents.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there are times we need to reroute yes. So
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I felt like there was no allowance for that, while
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: also feeling like Alicia went overboard. Agree agree. I needed
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a more realistic version of why they got divorced in
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the first place. The story that was told was that
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: they were like, they were so in love, but they
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: were so committed to their careers and their careers just
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: like I mean, she owned a dance school or something like.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know if they established why he
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was something that makes him a lot of money because
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: apparently he's a sugar daddy to everybody. So I was like,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like they were doctors or lawyers where they
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: like spent like hours upon hours away from the home.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And right, I mean, it's it's okay to say, like
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you just fall out of not fall out of love,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But like I just thought the profession I just thought
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the career angle was dumb. Yes, because it was clear
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that they didn't necessarily fall out of love. They just
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: stopped perhaps acting like a married couple because their time
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: was focused on their jobs. And then they had a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: child who probably took a lot of their attention, which
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I think happens to lots of everybody relationships. Yes, you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: get to a point, and for me, what I was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: thinking is if I were in that position, my husband's
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: going one direction, I'm going and the other. We're both
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: so focused on their jobs. Who who has time to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: think about getting divorced. It feels like you just kind
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of keep on keeping on, especially when your kids are little. Yeah,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and then maybe you look back and go, oh, what
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: have we been doing the last fifteen years? Yeah, But
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to be that aware that you're headed in opposite directions
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and then not attempt to write the ship seems surprising
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, they just like, all right, let's get divorced.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Like I don't even go to therapy. Come on, And
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he said I never wanted the divorce, right, So Gloria's
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: out there, excuse me, Brenda's out there pushing for it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: That didn't jive with her character in this movie. Yeah. Yeah,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the last thing that bothered me was there he comes,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Jack comes to the resort or wherever they're at, and they're,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you know, dancing, and he's obviously very much wants to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: get back together with her, and she's still questioning the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: relationship and is it worth it and I don't know
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and we need to talk and no, and then pH
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: he proposes and she says yes, like in a span
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: of five minutes. Yeah, like she's obviously really concerned about
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: like what all this means? Dude, don't propose? Yeah, how
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: about like, let's let's see what happens. Let's go on
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a couple more dates, yeah, and see where we're at. Yeah,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: come on, it's time for digitsu. That where we poke
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: some holes in this movie. I don't have too many pokes.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I just have some funny observances. Okay, you got pokes,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I got I got a funny observance and a little
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: bit of a poke. Okay, let me hear. So early on,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: we see Alicia at her job and she and her
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: work bestie both have clients in their chairs. Yes, work
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: bestie appears to actually be styling the hair of the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: person in her chair. But Alicia is just fluff that hair.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: She fluffs and she fluffed and she fluff and you
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: know that this was not a one take conversation, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: there's multiple camera angles. So this poor woman in her
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: chair since there with Alisha fluff in her hair, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I have some sensory issues. I'm sitting there thinking if
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I were that actress, I would be like, stop touching me,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: stop touching it. I have two thoughts about that scene.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: One is the two women who are getting their hair down.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: The lady who Alisha was doing was fluffy. She had
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a pleasant face in the mirror your other lady RBF,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and I could so relate to it, like I was like,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I make that face up the saloon because I hate
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the way I look in a salon. Of course, the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: lighting was like, oh, my go And I also was like,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I can totally picture this woman's character. There's always nothing's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: ever right, always upset with life. I was like, is
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: she in a role or is she just like this
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: damn salon lighting is not? And then in that same scene,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you were talking about how cute Alicia's clothes were, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I agree. And I didn't know she was a hairdresser
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: until she gets to the salon and she's putting her
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: apron on and she's in huge high heels, and I
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: was like, she really gonna wear those high heels all
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: day long behind a chair? Yeah? I mean, I guess
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: people probably do. Not my hair lady, but I guess
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: people probably do. Yeah, I've definitely seen, you know, the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: salon where you and I both get our eyebrows done.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: That place is full of cute stylists. I bet they're
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: wearing heels. They probably are. I thought Alicia was dressed
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: more like, well, a creative but in an office space,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: in a salon. I would like to say more about
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: her job, and I don't want stylists to come for me. Okay.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Alicia spends a lot of time talking about how she
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: just can't get away from work. She can't get away
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: from work. How can we plan a weekend away? I
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: can't get away from work. Girl, You set your own schedule,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: take some time off. I cannot take an appointment that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday because I'm going away with my husband.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Work on a day that you don't normally work. Work
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a little late one night, so you can take a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: night off. I'm not saying stilos aren't busy. If you're good,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you probably are quite busy. Right, But did you see
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the house they lived in. They did not appear to
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: be in financial dire straits to where her taking a
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: day off would have been financially troublesome. Well, that's funny
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that you mentioned that, because when they had Alicia and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Arnold had like another couple over for dinner, and the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: dude was talking about like what he did for a job,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and then Arnold got a little bit like about what
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: he does for work, and it kind of made it
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: seem like not that they were struggling, but like he hadn't,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: like he wasn't making millions off of his app or whatever.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe she's got daddy's money, daddy money totally m m hmm.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: What else you got Matthew James Dowd, and he plays
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Rob Staples in this movie, and he's an instructor at
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: the dance school. Can I interrupt you? Yes? Is mister
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Staples the worst name for a dance instructor you've ever heard?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Mister Staples? Yeah, that's awful. Okay, that's awful. Anyway, they
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: have a scene where like Brenda is critiquing like his
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: dance or whatever, and he's dancing like he's like making
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: zigs arms so funny. I don't even remember that interpretive
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: ballroom dancing, like over and over, and then she was like, Okay,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: we'll come back to that or whatever. I don't she
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was interrupted, Oh, it's because Jack came with the flowers. No,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: that's not why. Because when Jack comes with the flowers,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: there they were dancing arm in arm. Yeah, I don't remember.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I don't. I did feel like the mister Staples storyline
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: was odd and not fully realized, because I thought maybe
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we were supposed to think that that instructor had a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: crush on Brenda. Yeah, but it was not fully fleshed out,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and so maybe he just existed as they had to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: set him up as someone for Jack to have a
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: reaction to yeah, And that was so dumb too, because
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: obviously she probably owned the school or was a professor
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: of dancer. Gonna dance with people, It's gonna dance with people.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: It's not like he walked in on them in bed together.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's what they do for a professor
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the school, all the lights are on.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: She's like running out the middle. It's not what you think. Yeah, dumb, dumb, dumb,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: dumb um. At the end, when they're at the resort
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and Jack asked the DJ to play their song, they
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: start dancing and the like they're like, let's go for
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: a talk. It was like twenty seconds of like he
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: just made them change the music just for you, finish
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: it out exactly, and he's like, oh, we gotta go talk,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: we gotta go talk. When erics out as Jack proposes,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: did you see the tear come down his face? I did,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and it looked real like it splashed off the side
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: of his gen too. And she It was kind of
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: a funny scene because she wipes it and she must
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: say something to him because he starts laughing and like
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: grabs like her hand or something like that. And I think,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: like we caught like uh or not we the movie
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: people caught like an actual real scene BT's too and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: it just looked like fun and jovial and they're like, oh,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: we're gonna use it. But I was like, why is
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: he crying? Like for real and real life, like as
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: an actor, was like this scene, I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: cry in this scene. So do you did you notice
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the light on her ring in the ring box? I did, so,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's still a thing. When I
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: got engaged, that was like that was a thing. There
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: was a light in your ring box, which is very cool,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: but I was I thought was interesting? Is I just
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: assumed these are all prop rings and they've got ring
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: boxes lying around because the battery dies on that light. Oh,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: So I was like, did they go get a new
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: because it just seemed like nobody would have noticed if
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: there was no light in the ring box right exactly.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: So I just bumped on it. I'm like, oh, is
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: a brand new box? Yeah? And I did think for
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: like a quick second, like I was like, is this
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: movie brought to us by Diamonds USA or whatever? I
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: couldn't even think of like a jeweler. But yeah, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: was like waiting for like you know, like RCUs begins
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: with K, like you know, like on The Bachelor where
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it's like, this is a Nil Laye diamond and it
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: fully says Neil Layne on it or whatever, but I
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: don't think it was. This is my last note and
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it's a dumb one. It's a throwaway. But at the beginning,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when Alicia and Arnold are in their house and they're
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: like getting ready to leave for the day, she's making
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: us smoothie and she puts like a smoothie and like
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: a big like what I would drink water out of. Yeah,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: And she's pouring this smoothie out and she leaves about
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: like an inch left of smoothie and like just in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the blender. Yes, And I was like, that's gonna be
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: so gross when she gets home. Like that's just the thing.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't make smoothies because I don't want
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: to clean up that and I don't want to put
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: it in a in a insulated thing where like straw
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: gets all gunked up, Like no, why she should have
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: just been eating a bowl cereal or something like make
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: it easier. Smoothies are too messy. Totally all right, it's
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: time to rate this movie. Did you remember to give
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: this movie a rating? I did. I would like you
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to hold up your fingers on a count of three, Okay, one, two, three?
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Who double? Four stars? For stars for stars, look more
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: movies with a mature casts. I'm into it. I thought
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: it was a good movie, a good solid movie to
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: start out this spring. One hundred percent agree, a nice
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: strong foundation. I think they've got a lot of good
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: things coming. They at least have a lot of good
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: act doors cast. So but this is this is setting
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the bar really high. And that's four out of five.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: It's a five star movies very hard, but a four
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: star movie is a great movie in my opinion. Now
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta inject a note here. Yeah. On our Spring
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: into Love preview, we talked about next weekend's movie because
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: there was no details about it, just one kiss. Its
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: stars Santino what's his last name? Fontana, And like I
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, he did the audio voice of the character
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Joe in the book You and I'm telling you every time,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: like I saw the commercial, I would just close my
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: eyes and all I see is Joe from that book. Now,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: if you haven't read that book, Joe's a bad guy.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Joe is a bad guy, but he's he's a desirable
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: bad guy. Yes, And then so I cannot wait to
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: see this movie because I just want to hear this
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: guy sing and talk the entire time. And then we
• 38:08

• 38:12
  Speaker 1: details to it, right, and what's it called? A Royal
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: runaway romance? I gotta say the previous looked pretty decent
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: for it. Wendy, who dog royal movies? I know, I know,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't like Royal movies and I have
• 38:27
