  Speaker 1: There's a link in the show notes. It's been kind
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of light over there. I would say the last couple
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of weeks, we gotta get in there and shake things up.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I think I think after today they're going to have
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: some things to say to you. Wendy. Okay, Oh, send
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: your emails to Megan. That's her synopsis. Oh right, radio
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: only because Wendy never reads her emails. Leave and if
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you send it directly to her, attention Wendy, I'm getting better. Yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: put in the subject attention Wendy. We hate Wendy. It's okay. Uh.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Synopsis for Falling for You. Radio host Lacey played by
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Taylor Cole, is hosting a bachelor bake off to raise
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: money to save her radio station. Her radio station. When
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: her star bachelor backs out, she less Zach played by
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Tyler Hines, a visiting businessman, to fill the spot. Hey
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: O news and notes. Yeah. This movie originally premiered on
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: October sixth, twenty eighteen. I gotta say, you know, we
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: use IMDb a lot to fill in our notes, so
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on and so forth. This movie scored a six point
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: six out of ten rating on IMDb. Did you compare
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that to anything else, like what? Well, I don't know.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's high on IMD? I mean
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want like that's like a D. That's not
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the rating I want. But compared to a well loved
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: movie like what's What's Three Wise Men and a Baby
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: on IMD? I don't know. You pull it up and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: see seven point seven out of ten? Still still pretty low, right, Okay, fine, whatever,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I just I just like to include the number in here,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: especially for a movie that's older. I just think it's
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: an interesting but I was just curious, especially because this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is a quote end quote fan favorite right, six point
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: six is pretty low. I don't disagree. Al Right, you're
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: gonna take the next line because I will butcher all
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of the words in it. Oh No. This movie was
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: filmed in Squamish, British Columbia. Some scenes are filmed at
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Quest University, in Squamish's library and atrium, as well as
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Sunflower Bakery and cafe. There's literally one challenging word
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in there, Squamish. It would have taken me four tries
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to say yay. Tyler Hines plays visiting businessman Bachelor's Zach Malone.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: This was his debut movie for the Hallmark Channel. If
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you can believe that. I went on to Our Girls
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Gone Hallmark Instagram recently because I was unsure of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: number of movies that Tyler has done for Hallmark, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: so I asked the fans, because you know those highees,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they know their stuff, right, And I was like, how
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: many movies has he done? I got pages and pages
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and pages of responses, and they all fell between like
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: ten and sixteen. I still don't have an accurate number.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And then somebody messaged me and said, you know, you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: can look on IMDb yet I know that, but on IMDb.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I cannot decipher, like what's a Hallmark movie and what's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: not unless I click every single title to look at
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the picture to see if it has Hallmark branding. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: my mama doesn't have time for that. So I thought
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the Heinees and Heignies are gonna
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: tell me. I still do not know. I think it's sixteen.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's fifteen with a cameo my Christmas Family Tree. Yes,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: can I just make a note? Yeah, Haul Out the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Holly has a six point one rating on IMDb, so
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I am just going to tell you right now. Ratings
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are garbage. Okay, all right, back to Tyler Hines. Of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: course he's gone on to become our king of Hallmark.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Remember when we did that bracket? Yeah, and my nose
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: has since then, he's debuted with X number of movies
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for the channel. Because I really don't know, I think
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's fifteen or sixteen. I don't know. Somebody email us
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Megan and Weindy at gmail dot com. I even tagged
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: him on Instagram. I was like, please, I hope you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: would slide into our DMS and tell us confirm with us. Yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but no, nothing from him. Taylor coleplays Lacy. She has
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: sixty four acting credits, including a Loha Heart from this
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: year and Long Lost Christmas from twenty twenty two. Do
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you remember a little series called Summerland starring one Lori Laughlin?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I do. It was on the CW. I loved that show,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: did you one season? This one lived in a house
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: on the beach and she was a surfer but had
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like a teenage kid. Yeah, and bring that correct something
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like that, And summerlind is a real life place on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the coast between here and Santa Barbara. That's relevant because
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that was Taylor Cole's first acting gig. She played Erica
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Spaulding for twenty one episode. Yeah, I don't remember her.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I literally remember nobody but Lori Laughlin. And I feel
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: like there was a guy who had like longer, dark
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: blonde hair. Yeah, he was like the surfer boyfriend or
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: husband or something like that. Right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It says if she played in twenty one episodes, but
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I thought that was only on one season.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Could there have been more than twenty episodes in one season?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Twenty two episodes is a pretty typical season length for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: an hour long show. For any show like West Wing
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: had twenty two episodes a season. Okay, pre streaming, that's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: how long shows. I know. I'm just used to like ten. Yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: because they waited to binge it. We lived ten. We
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: live in a different world now, we do. This movie
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was based on a book called Baking for Keeps by
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Jessica Gilmore. Yeah, I agree with you. I'm just saying
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I hate it. You hate what Baking for keeps? Yeah?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I know. I don't like these names. I don't like.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That's not the problem. Actually I hate the story. We'll
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: get into it, oh, okay, all right. The script was
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: written by Jua Botkin, who has twenty previous writing credits,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: including this Summer's Loves, Greek to Me and hashtag xmis
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and Our Italian Christmas Memories from last year's Countdown to Christ.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Do you remember what we said about Jua Botken? I do,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: because I said it. I think she writes stories with
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: complicated relationships. Yes, this movie was not one of them.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I agree, But yes, I agree. I think she's come
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a long way since since this movie. Yeah, I actually
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: don't blame the writing. Oh my god, we're gonna get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: into it, okay. Peter Delwiz directed. Now do you remember
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: who Peter Delowize is. I'm picturing Dom Delawe. So are
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you no? Is that their dad? Is that his dad?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't well, Okay, while you look that up, I'll
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: tell you Peter Delowize he was on the original twenty
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: one Jump Street. He has eighty directing credits, including last
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: year's Honk Kah on Rye and tons of one Calls
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the Heart episodes. He also has fifty five acting credits,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: including the unauthorized Full House Story where All Roads lead
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: back to Lori Laughlin and This movie. Peter Delowize is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: also the brother of Michael Delowize, who played TJ on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Gilmour Girls. Hey yeah, oh look they are the sons
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of actors Dom Delaize and Carol Arthur. Okay, so it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a stacked family. Who knew TJ was? You didn't know that? Oh?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I knew that. I didn't. Yeah. I love that he's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: such a boso on that show. I know, you know what.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I was trying, lovable Boso to be clear to me too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I was trying and I'm deep into Gilmour's watch right now.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I have not reached the season where TJ comes into
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the picture. But do you remember the episode where he's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: like he's telling Luke, He's like, I'm doing something here
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and he says the word and I can't remember what
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it is. Does this sound familiar at all? Uh? I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: mean it sounds like every conversation TJ has. It's like
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I'm lacking here. I don't know what he says. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: can't remember. It's gonna drive me crazy until I see
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the episode. Oh, I'll report back, I will report back.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Do you know that there are a lot of Hallmark
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fans who listen to our podcasts who are also fans
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of Gilmore Girls. That makes sense, They're parallel universes to me. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversation in our dms on Instagram
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: about Gilmore Girls over In fact, Great Smoking Mountains stars
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Dean's girlfriend, Lindsay Wow Six Degrees of Hallmark. Finally, this
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: movie also stars Lenny Evans as Patty, Randy Alexander Asbeth,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and Chris Shields as Golden Bachelor Ben. You know, I thought,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: thank you for laughing that these are Weddy's notes. I
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: was just reading them, so it took me a minute,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but I got there. It's great. It's a great line,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I mean. And also, justice for Brandy Alexander. Why is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: she always in these small, tiny roles? She never has
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a lead role? Never? Yeah, justice for Brandy. Let's talk
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: first impressions of falling for you? Okay, you want me
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to go first. You're looking at me. I'll tell you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: what mine is. Oh my god, we get it. There's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a bachelor bake off happening. Is this all Lazy talks
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: about on her stupid radio show. Yeah, I'm not tuning
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: into that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: My first impression is, please stop doing movies that have
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a fundraiser element when you bozos clearly have no idea
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: how to run a fundraiser.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, fundraisers. Talk to a PTA. Mom. Surely someone
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: on staff is married to someone who was in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: PTA who could like, hold your hands through how these
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: things work, with the number one rule being you're not
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: gonna hand out raffle style tickets as the ticket for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: entry to your thing without any sort of record keeping
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of who's handed you cash in a randomushot for them. Wow,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: got right into it. There shall we talk about what
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we liked? Okay? While it was all fake news, fall
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I gotta say I was in love with all of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the fall stuff everywhere. Loved the faux fall. Loved it
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and you hate faue fall. I do, but I do.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And it was noticeable, like it grabs your eye. You're like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that's not real. Yeah. I loved the ambiance that it
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: gave it. We've been complaining that many of our fall
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: movies just have like the fall Harvest banner on the corner,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but have nothing to do with fall. This did not
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: do that, and I liked it. M I agree, I agree.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's just because we don't get that kind
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of fall here in southern California. So like a couple
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of girls that live we did last year. Remember, like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the leaves changed last year. It was so weird. No,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I don't remember. In my neighborhood. You pulled in, You're like,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: there's fall bolliage here, and then oddly, like all the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: leaves fall on the ground in my neighborhood. And my
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: husband and I would go for a walk and he
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was like, well maybe we will look here for the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: rest of our lives. That he didn't go that far,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But your husband does have that kind of voice either.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I have a few likes. Tell me what you liked
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about this movie. Okay, I have a feeling your lists
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is small. There are little things. It's not that small,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: but there's like moments that I loved. I loved Zach
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: bringing Lacy a cookie rather than flowers for their lantern
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: walk day. Mm hmm. I'd prefer that mean too, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: then I would be like, do you think I'm fat
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: because you think I would prefer a cookie over flowers?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Which I would prefer either of them to be quite honest.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I loved the sweet moment when their kiss was interrupted
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and then Lacey makes it happen anyway. Mm mmmmm. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: love Tyler's cozy cream cardigan. Oh my god, a chunky cardigan. Yeah,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he wore a cardigan a lot in this movie, Yes,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a lot. It really brings home the fall for me.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Did your husband wear card agains like that? Like a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: button up cardigan? But I wish you would. It's a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: good look. Mine doesn't either. I also love the idea
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of a lantern walk. That's a fun holiday event. I agree.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I think that is such a cute event. Yeah, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you could totally do that as a fundraiser like a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: cell stuff. Would it not be real cute to do
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: why why don't we think of these things like for
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: our schools. Oh, that's a good thing. And finally, I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: love the Kobe Kayat song at the end of the movie.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Oh you don't see her name Kobe Cala. Oh yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I know, I liked. I like that song. I have
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: real music in a Hallmark movie. I have a fun
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: sorry about her. Several years ago, my husband and I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: went up to Santa Barbara for the weekend, and we
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: say that at this really bougie resort, it was a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: special getaway and there was some sort of like function
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: happening at the I think it was like a business function,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: but it was their entertainment and they had her there.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, and her like stage was literally like by
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: our room, so we could sit out on our balcony. Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Did they wheel her out in a mob cart? They
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: did not. They did not. So swift Easter Egg, tell
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: me what you like? Okay, So fresh face Tyler is
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: real charming in this movie. But I gotta say I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like the more like rough and tough Tyler. Sure, I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: liked Tyler. I liked Tyler's evolution, but he was not
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: unwelcome on screening. I agree, I agree, and I could
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: see why I watched this movie twice. I could see
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: why his fans really fell for him in this movie,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: because to me, this was a real Taylor Cole movie.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Like she was the lead and he was like, you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: some newbie coming in. But like there were a lot
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of like little little things that he did, just the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: way that he would say things, or he gave a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: lot of really good reactive faces to like stuff she
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was saying, and the way he talks out of the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: side of his mouth. Yes, he said Lucy. At one time,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, whoam Yeah, I find that very try
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: me too. I read that the character of Lacy in
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the book was kind of a hot mess. I don't know.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I really did a deep dive into this book for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: some reason, and they did that a little bit in
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this movie, where she had like her disorganized file folder
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and her inability to organize a fundraiser. But I actually
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: thought she came off as a real no it all,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: which drove me crazy. M it's bake off, not bank
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: saying all that whole like stuff drove me nuts. Yeah. Finally,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I really loved the bachelor brothers Max and Lucas Buckman,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and they were played by Madison Smith and Matt Weisser
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: thought they were super funny together. They played the perfect
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like competitive brothers, like when they were doing that interview
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and the one was like I'm making mom's pumpkin bars
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and whatever, do you know what I'm talking about? I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: just thought they were good well and I loved the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: plot twist that their mom did on their stuff. That
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: was a great, perfect moment, very cute, perfect button on that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: That's what I liked about it. Would you wish for? Okay?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: If anything can go wrong for Lacey, it does in
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: this movie. Like her radio station loses funding, the original
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Bachelor backs out, she loses the bakeoff location. Was that her?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: That was her fault though? Right? She loses the bakeoff
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: location because she doesn't have the money to pay for Yeah,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I couldn't remember exactly what it was. That doesn't surprise
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: me though. And then Zach bounces before the bakeoff like
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you's gotta go do this job. How do you feel
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: about storylines like this where like everything goes wrong? I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: hate it. I always hate it. But I think it's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a lazy plot device. You know, Uh, non writers in
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. I don't know the first thing
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: about writing a script. Let me say my wish because
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: it ties into this. Okay, one of my very large
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: wishes that poor Taylor Cole didn't have to play this
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: clearly smart, driven woman behaving like a bumbling idiot who
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't understand the basic math behind income minus expenses equals profit. Yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: this is every once in a while we get these
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: fundraiser movies and it's like she's planned this fundraiser and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, halfway through planning it, she's like, wait,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: what do you mean I have to pay for the space?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: What do you mean that buying beautiful flower arrangements is
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: going to take away from the money we're making. How
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: much money are you making on a bachelor bakeoff that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you can rent this beautiful space and have wedding style
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: flowers and catering And what is happening? And why are
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: people paying to attend a bachelor bakeoff? Because she was
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: selling all of these tickets? Who's going to pay for
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to bid me? If that's where your income
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: comes from, is not the ticket? There to be something else?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: If you want to have the bachelor bakeoff, you need
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to have something else that these people are paying for, right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: what are they buying a ticket to, I don't know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a ticket to? Then give you more money and the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: old many people who are going to actually be paying
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you money or the winning bids. Right, So you need
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to have multiple streams of incomes set up at this event.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: You need to be selling food. You need to be
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, wlaying carnival games, having yeah, something something, Yes,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it was people buy a meal ticket or something. It was.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It didn't make sense to me. And then she had
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to change course because, oh, I don't have a budget.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Oh incomes my budgeting software Night in Shining Armory. This
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is a perfect example of plot via AI. And I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: understand that the movie is based on the book that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I have not read, and I don't know how much
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of the plot elements came directly out of the book.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: But look, she's a small town radio host trying to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: save her station. He's the big, bad engineer whose software
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: resulted in her budget being cut. Let's talk about this.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: He didn't cut her budget. Oh my god, I have
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that I put yo, lazy Zach did not cut your budget.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Be mad at the person who actually made the decision
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to pay a budget off money, and someone made the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: decision that your radio show needed to be one of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the things he had nothing to remember that person who
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: made a comment about all they do is yell, I'm sorry,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: we're back, y'all. I did put a limitter in on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the back end so that it doesn't actually like scream
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: through your headphones. You're welcome, but you get what you
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: pay for here a girl's gone Hallmark Wow. So look,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: there's so many pieces that don't add up for me,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and there were ways for him to be there for
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: her that weren't so on the nose of I can
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: write a budget, I can write you a budget. Come on, No,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. That's that's what I have to say. Okay,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: let's talk about did you see that? Did you see
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: anything in this one? Megan? No, I have a list.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: When Zach pulls up to the bakery, he gets out
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of the car like he's in town for the first time.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: He's going to buy a cup of black coffee. Right,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: he gets out of the car and his pants like
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: at the bottom are super flood city like they're like
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: all his pants are all caught up in his crotch
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and as he's been sitting in the car. Yes, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: then then the next scene when he walks into the store,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: they're like down at regular then tugged him down yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that's so real, very relatable. Yeah.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was funny. That's all speaking of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: black coffee. So much coffee talk in this movie. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: feel like they're like, Okay, one of the elements of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a fall movie, we need to have lots of coffee. Yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it bugged me. Well, here's what I wonder. This is
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the second movie in a short period of time where
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the female character has the love of sweet baked goods. Look,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be like the whatever the opposite
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of the woke police are, But like, do women always
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: have to like like it just feels like such a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: uh give us another personality trait? Yeah, I mean, I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: just I understand that he's like on black coffee and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: green Jala and she's like whipped cream and cookies. Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And I feel like it's supposed to be like a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: direct parallel to her, like fly by the seat of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the pants. I don't have my act together. I don't
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, I like my coffee with seven chiggers
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and lots of cream and it's delicious, which is a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: fine way to like things, but it's not doesn't say
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: anything about your personality. Yeah, yeah, I agreed, Megan. Okay, okay, okay.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I kind of tried to do this at the beginning,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: but Taylor Cole's like intense weatherman inflection when she was
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: on the radio Welcome Back to the Bachelor bake Off,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: it just drove me crazy. It was like, and this
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: might be a local station about like Canex ten seventy,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Like did your dad listen to like Cane seventy in
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the car? I was, okay if I six forty, growing
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: up one hundred percent, like now back with the weather
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: or now back with the traffic? Like who's listening to
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: her show? Yeah? I hated it. Radio show get well
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing interesting. All she ever does is promote
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: ye the bake off. And then she interviewed the guy,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the apple picker who broke his arm. But like, yeah,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. I want to hear local fair I want
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to hear interviews. I want to hear things like that. Yeah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: which made me wonder because my I don't live in
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: a small town, but I live in a smaller city,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: we don't have a local radio station. Like where do
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: these towns exist that there's local radio happening?
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they. I also wondered, was the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: radio or was the program that she was gonna go
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: work for supposed to be like this American life? Oh yeah,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you know, yes, like storytelling. Anyway, moving on, when they're
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: at the Hathaway Lodge, Airbnb whatever this place was been
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and breakfast that her aunt was running, and they would
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: have like a counter full of baked goods. They have
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the sign that said like coffee and baked goods, but
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the like ant sign. This is a real me problem.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Not okay, you know when you try to figure this out,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: you know when you make the sign where it's like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a three and then a line through it, it's like
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: a lazy amber stand? Is that the word the three
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was backwards? It bugs me. That's how it's supposed to be.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: No get out, hold on. If I were to draw it,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it's gonna look like this. That's a backwards three, right, Yes,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that's the way I would do it. Okay, Okay, they
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: had it like this. Are you sure they had a three?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: They had an actual three I'm gonna pull a movie up.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Who said it was a backward Wait? Hold on now,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I got myself all confused. Hold on here it is
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I coposit at the exact right spot. It's a regular three.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: You are correct. Okay, they did it wrong. Okay, it's
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: wrong on their end, right, I would agree with you
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: that it is wrong. I have scrubbed through this movie
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to find the exact scene and they're lazy ampersand is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: incorrect Hallmark prop intern, that's fail. Okay, all right, all right.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Last thing, I got a real lol when Zach is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: talking to the radio intern which his name escapes me
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: right now, but he's like, oh, you do you need
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to start small like a podcast, and I just was like, yeah,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I think on paper it seems real easy
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: to start a podcast, but there is a lot of
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: work that goes into the back end of it. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: sa shiated is when that little intern dude came back,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: he's like, I made a podcast, and my husband was watching.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, yesh's that easy? Like you come back
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the next on your phone. I was like, oh, look
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: at you. Yeah he knows, okay, I like it. He
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't just think we just record it here on the phone.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: He appreciates all the work that goes into it. All right,
• 24:12

• 24:25
  Speaker 1: nowhere to go. What up? I loved Tyler in this movie.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I think he was a high point.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But the movie was not good though. There were elements
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: of this movie that made it very frustrating for me
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to watch it enjoy, and that's part of the viewing experience.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: It's not just watch it on mute to see Tyler
