Speaker 1: This is a Bramble Jam podcast. Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark,
0:24
Speaker 1: a Hallmark review podcast. Him Megan and I'm a longtime
0:27
Speaker 1: Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm a former Hallmark hater. Five
0:30
Speaker 1: years later, we are here kicking off the start of
0:33
Speaker 1: the countdown to Christmas season with our first movie review,
0:39
Speaker 1: A Royal Montana Christmas, which originally aired on Saturday, October
0:43
Speaker 1: eighteenth and is currently available to stream on Hallmark Plus.
0:47
Speaker 1: Can you hear the excitement in our voices right now?
0:50
Speaker 1: I am pumped? You're pumped because it's finally countdown to
0:54
Speaker 1: Christmas season? Or yeah, yeah, I gotta tell you, like
0:59
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of like whimsy in the air,
1:01
Speaker 1: Like I'm excited that we're all in on Christmas movies now.
1:06
Speaker 1: I have seen some chatter online about like people are like, no,
1:10
Speaker 1: not until November. Yeah, And I'm kind of surprised by that.
1:14
Speaker 1: I think that's all. You know, some people are purists
1:16
Speaker 1: one holiday at a time. We've got to get through Halloween,
1:18
Speaker 1: which I understand, but unfortunately the Hallmark calendar doesn't allow
1:23
Speaker 1: us to do that. Also, in our house, Christmas decorations
1:25
Speaker 1: go up No. Number eighth, so you know, we do
1:29
Speaker 1: not respect the timelines around here. I think what I'm
1:33
Speaker 1: feeling is, I'm really excited about the holiday season right now.
1:37
Speaker 1: For some reason. It's because this year's been crazy, and
1:40
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, right, I need like the coziness and
1:42
Speaker 1: the warmth and tradition. Yeah. Yeah, Wendy and I were
1:45
Speaker 1: just talking about this year. We both cried a little bit,
1:48
Speaker 1: so it has been a weird year. Also, I'm feeling
1:53
Speaker 1: this kind of renewed sense of excitement about our business
1:56
Speaker 1: and doing this and sitting here and talking to you
1:58
Speaker 1: about these movies. Yeah, it's not like we haven't talked
2:01
Speaker 1: about Hallmark movies all year long, but I just think,
2:05
Speaker 1: I think because we haven't had as many new movies
2:09
Speaker 1: this year, it feels this year's felt different in terms
2:15
Speaker 1: of Hallmark. So yes, I'm excited too. I'm excited. Well,

Speaker 1: Let's take a quick breay can come right back with
6:55
Speaker 1: our first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what is your first impression
7:00
Speaker 1: of a royal Montana Christmas? The kisses were hot, but
7:06
Speaker 1: the plot was ice cold. Oh no, well to quote
7:12
Speaker 1: Girls Gone Hallwark Facebook group member Steven Peter Benson pulled
7:16
Speaker 1: a rabbit out of his hat with this one. Oh Wow,
7:21
Speaker 1: House divided Friends, first movie out of the gate. You
7:25
Speaker 1: liked it? Oh boy, let's talk likes Okay, let me
7:29
Speaker 1: start Okay. I think this was a solid outing for
7:33
Speaker 1: our first movie of the season. Interesting. I found it cozy,
7:38
Speaker 1: I found it warm. I am acknowledging that there is
7:43
Speaker 1: a little bit of first movie glow on this movie.
7:47
Speaker 1: I was excited to sit down with a warm drink
7:52
Speaker 1: and a blanket and let it wash over me. I
7:57
Speaker 1: actually thought there was a lot to like about this movie. Well,
8:00
Speaker 1: even behind the scenes. You and I were texting while
8:05
Speaker 1: watching the Night Yet Saturday night. It was Saturday night.
8:10
Speaker 1: We were texting, right, and I was like, both of
8:12
Speaker 1: us were like, well, I don't hate it so far
8:16
Speaker 1: that it fell apart for you. Yeah, it did. I
8:18
Speaker 1: do have a lot of likes though. Okay, let's hear him. Well.
8:22
Speaker 1: First of all, I thought Fiona and Warren were great.
8:26
Speaker 1: I thought they had great chemistry. They had a lot
8:30
Speaker 1: of energy, Like I was truly believing, like, okay, these
8:33
Speaker 1: two were into each other, like there was no forcing
8:36
Speaker 1: that by any means. I thought, Okay, I can see
8:39
Speaker 1: these two naturally, like have feelings for each other. They
8:43
Speaker 1: had solid kisses. I'm sure we're going to talk more
8:45
Speaker 1: about that. Warren and a cowboy hat approved. I love that.
8:49
Speaker 1: I love this rough cowboy. Can I interrupt you and
8:52
Speaker 1: tell you that? Listener Michelle messages and asked if Warren
8:55
Speaker 1: Christie has achieved wowie zowie status. Oh, no doubt, Yes,
9:02
Speaker 1: no doubt. I also I thought their characters were totally likable.
9:10
Speaker 1: And here's what I really liked about this movie. I
9:15
Speaker 1: thought we were gonna get this fish out of water
9:19
Speaker 1: princess who you know that typical trophe. Sure, I thought
9:25
Speaker 1: this is exactly what we were gonna get. We did
9:28
Speaker 1: not know and were in her element on the ranch.
9:31
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised by that. That was a good
9:35
Speaker 1: thing for me, speaking of pleasant surprises. Our conflict in
9:37
Speaker 1: the movie is not contrived. It's not rooted in anything
9:40
Speaker 1: silly or frustrating to watch. It's just rooted in the
9:43
Speaker 1: reality of life. They're different people with different life priorities,
9:50
Speaker 1: and it was believable that she would leave after their kiss.
9:55
Speaker 1: Put an asterisk by that. Yes, I agree. I'm not
9:58
Speaker 1: saying the whole movie was believe okay, but I thought
10:01
Speaker 1: her I thought that was very real. They had this moment.
10:05
Speaker 1: They clearly like each other. There's no need to throw
10:09
Speaker 1: a wrench in the system other than she's got to
10:12
Speaker 1: go home and take over. She's got responsibilities. She's a
10:17
Speaker 1: reluctant royal. Right. Additional likes, if I may Yes, I
10:22
Speaker 1: loved our assistant Gabriel. I loved his wardrobe. I loved
10:26
Speaker 1: Wendy's shaking her head No, I'm shaking my head a
10:28
Speaker 1: good way, yes, snapping snappings. David Kay was a scene
10:32
Speaker 1: stiller in this movie. Agree. I loved his wardrobe. I
10:35
Speaker 1: liked his quibie one liners. I liked his sidekick bestie energy.
10:39
Speaker 1: I thought that was a great choice for her sidekick,
10:43
Speaker 1: for her sounding board, for her second her sidekick. Looking
10:49
Speaker 1: for another word there that I can't pull out of
10:51
Speaker 1: the depths of my brain. I really was touched by
10:56
Speaker 1: Victoria reliving the memories of her father. I love like
11:00
Speaker 1: the kids in those scenes, but I thought her visiting
11:04
Speaker 1: this ranch and finding joy in the memories and reliving
11:10
Speaker 1: how connected she felt to her dad on this trip.
11:13
Speaker 1: I really liked that. And I really loved our supporting cast,
11:19
Speaker 1: Lynda Boyd, Eric Keenley side. They just brought a lot
11:23
Speaker 1: to this movie. Gabriel, of course, Danny Kay. I just
11:27
Speaker 1: I David Kay, David K Danny Kay, it's the wrong guy.
11:33
Speaker 1: I think they leveled up the movie. I would agree
11:37
Speaker 1: with that. I thought I like I said, I thought
11:41
Speaker 1: it was solid, And again I don't know if I
11:42
Speaker 1: was just in the right mood for the first movie
11:44
Speaker 1: of the season, but I felt the coziness of this
11:46
Speaker 1: movie come through on the screen. Back to David Kay
11:50
Speaker 1: for a second. I his role easily could have been
11:57
Speaker 1: a bigger role. Yes, I thought he had some of
12:00
Speaker 1: the best lines throughout this movie, Right at the top
12:03
Speaker 1: when they're talking about him going to this ranch with
12:06
Speaker 1: her and he goes the only ranch I know is
12:08
Speaker 1: ranch dressing. I mean I laughed out loud. I thought
12:13
Speaker 1: it was hilarious. He was so good. I was like,
12:16
Speaker 1: put this man I wanted. I just wanted more from him,
12:20
Speaker 1: Like easily could have been a bigger role, so good.
12:26
Speaker 1: I Also what I liked about this movie is I
12:31
Speaker 1: don't love a Royal movie because I don't like the
12:34
Speaker 1: shenanigans that go along with it. So I was so
12:39
Speaker 1: happy that this one was void of those. Like we
12:45
Speaker 1: didn't have. She wasn't hiding her identity. There wasn't any
12:49
Speaker 1: sort of like Papa Razzi looking for her, you know,
12:54
Speaker 1: like those kind of tropes that we see in the
12:56
Speaker 1: royal storyline. I think it was real that nobody knew
13:00
Speaker 1: who she was because nobody knows who these second tier
13:04
Speaker 1: royals are of these tiny little countries growing she the royal.
13:10
Speaker 1: How many royals do you know outside of the British None?
13:13
Speaker 1: Could you identify any of those other royals? Nope, no,
13:15
Speaker 1: neither could I, And I think the vast majority of
13:18
Speaker 1: people can't either. And that's real. And she was able
13:23
Speaker 1: to be anonymous because that's rooted in reality. Exactly exactly.
13:28
Speaker 1: One last like and it's a personal one to me.
13:31
Speaker 1: When they did the light walk, I really like that
13:33
Speaker 1: because they're reminded me of the one that we did
13:35
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. The Oh yeah, I did think about
13:38
Speaker 1: that too. I liked that lightwalk. I find that whimsical,
13:41
Speaker 1: which is one of my daughter's favorite words. Right now,
13:43
Speaker 1: she's bearing into whimsy. Oh, I like that. Pretty cute,
13:47
Speaker 1: very whimsical. Yeah, the light walk was really pretty. It's
13:50
Speaker 1: set a tone. It's set a tone. Well, what did
13:54
Speaker 1: you wish for? I thought the script was a little
13:59
Speaker 1: lifeless to me because it lacked conflict. There was no
14:06
Speaker 1: conflict in this movie. It's all internal other than like
14:11
Speaker 1: he was struggling with like his identity of I was
14:15
Speaker 1: once a baseball player and now I'm not, and now
14:19
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who I am and what
14:22
Speaker 1: value is in my life. Right, and then she was like, ah,
14:26
Speaker 1: I gotta do this job. I'm not really fit for it.
14:31
Speaker 1: So was it that it's too rooted in reality and
14:34
Speaker 1: there wasn't enough Because to me, when you say that,
14:37
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that feels more like real life, that
14:40
Speaker 1: there's not all of this external conflict. Yea, and I
14:43
Speaker 1: like movies that are rooted in real life. But there
14:46
Speaker 1: was just no there was. Maybe it's because it wasn't
14:49
Speaker 1: what I expected. Maybe if I went back at a
14:52
Speaker 1: second look and watched it from that point of view
14:54
Speaker 1: of like, oh, this is in real life, this is
14:57
Speaker 1: how these conversations would happen in real life with real people,
15:02
Speaker 1: I might appreciate it more. Maybe I went into it
15:06
Speaker 1: with meeting like oh I need some silly misunderstanding and
15:10
Speaker 1: some crazy royal meltdown. I don't know. Maybe I maybe
15:17
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed by it. I don't know. Okay, I don't know.
15:22
Speaker 1: I just thought I there was no for me, there
15:25
Speaker 1: was nothing mattered other than what was internal. Yeah, I
15:28
Speaker 1: hear you, you know saying that. Now I don't want to.
15:34
Speaker 1: I don't want to. What's the word on diminish. That's
15:38
Speaker 1: the word. I don't want to diminish it because I
15:41
Speaker 1: do find value in that, an internal struggle, human conflict,
15:48
Speaker 1: so finding yourself. Yeah, like I appreciate all that stuff.
15:52
Speaker 1: So okay, all right, I am. I can say maybe
15:58
Speaker 1: I didn't hate it as much I thought I hated it. Interesting, gone,
16:04
Speaker 1: what are your wishes? I have nothing but love for
16:09
Speaker 1: Fiona Googleman. But my question, when we're making movies about
16:14
Speaker 1: royals from fake countries, why do they all have to
16:17
Speaker 1: sound British? Why if okay, this country is set in Europe,
16:22
Speaker 1: so she's got to have an accent, I suppose, But
16:25
Speaker 1: I just wonder if there's something to be gained by
16:29
Speaker 1: not forcing our actors to have a fake British accent,
16:31
Speaker 1: because many I and many other viewers found that the
16:37
Speaker 1: accent took us out of the movie. It was the
16:41
Speaker 1: single most distracting piece for me. And I think no
16:46
Speaker 1: accent would have been preferable and would have added to
16:52
Speaker 1: the movie for me. You think I think no accent
16:56
Speaker 1: would have would I wouldn't have noticed it, I think
16:58
Speaker 1: Anna I was constantstantly aware of it, constantly aware of
17:02
Speaker 1: the accent, got it it? Bothered me a little bit,
17:05
Speaker 1: but I wasn't hung up on it. I mean shout
17:08
Speaker 1: out to Fiona, like I can't do an accent. Well,
17:11
Speaker 1: I can't either, And I don't think it's I don't
17:13
Speaker 1: think she did a bad job of it, Like when
17:17
Speaker 1: I'm like, that sounds like a British accent, but I don't.
17:19
Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on what I felt bothered by,
17:24
Speaker 1: but I did find it distract Did you watch with subtitles?
17:32
Speaker 1: I must have. I know some people said, like the
17:34
Speaker 1: dialect was rough, like they couldn't understand some of the
17:37
Speaker 1: words that she was saying. Oh. Interesting, I can't understand
17:40
Speaker 1: people say even when they're not speaking in it exactly.
17:42
Speaker 1: That's why I asked if you want those subtitles, because
17:44
Speaker 1: that's all every show. I have a question. Think back
17:48
Speaker 1: to Double Scoop, which we recently reviewed, starring front of
17:51
Speaker 1: the show Jaqueline Collier. The daughter around that movie makes
17:53
Speaker 1: a ton of cow jokes constantly because they're on a
17:55
Speaker 1: dairy farm. The cowjokes in that movie, the horse metaphors
17:59
Speaker 1: in this one. What are you voting for? Oh, the
18:04
Speaker 1: horse metaphors? Yeah? I liked him. From Eric Keiley's side. Yeah,
18:07
Speaker 1: it was like dad joke adjacent. Yeah, yeah, I just
18:11
Speaker 1: maybe it's a teenager delivering punny jokes that greats on me.
18:17
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was not bothered at all. Did
18:20
Speaker 1: you wish for anything else? No? One, one one. How
18:28
Speaker 1: do you feel? It's more of a question, how do
18:30
Speaker 1: you feel about let's put a Christmas dance at the
18:34
Speaker 1: plot line, like we're planning this look I like a
18:38
Speaker 1: plan in a movie, like a montage of setting up
18:42
Speaker 1: all the things. I'm not bothered by that storyline whatsoever.
18:47
Speaker 1: How did you well, I don't know how it makes money. Yeah,
18:51
Speaker 1: I don't or enough to be helpful, but I don't
18:56
Speaker 1: mind it. It gives us something to do. It gives us.
18:59
Speaker 1: You know, it had multiple purposes, right it They brought
19:03
Speaker 1: back this dance that was important to her, But it
19:08
Speaker 1: was also important to hunt Lee because they it kind
19:11
Speaker 1: of the end of the dance had marked the end
19:13
Speaker 1: of his career. But it also served the purpose of
19:17
Speaker 1: being a fundraiser. It gave us something to do. It
19:20
Speaker 1: brought the Christmas elements into the movie with the decorps.
19:23
Speaker 1: You know, provided action in the movie. I'm not sure
19:26
Speaker 1: where else the action would have come from right. So
19:29
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the Christmas Dance. Yeah, I like it too.
19:32
Speaker 1: My only criticism is sometimes I feel Hallmark writers, especially
19:37
Speaker 1: new ones, feel like this is the formula we have
19:41
Speaker 1: to follow, like we need an event. Yeah. Yeah, I'm
19:44
Speaker 1: glad it was on the nineteenth and not the twenty fourth.
19:46
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. I'm going to talk about
19:49
Speaker 1: that in my wishes. Okay, this is our wishes. No,
19:52
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and my did you see that? Well, let's
19:54
Speaker 1: do did you see that? Who? This is more of
19:58
Speaker 1: a question, but do you go to a dude ranch
20:02
Speaker 1: the week before Christmas? Ish? A week and a half
20:05
Speaker 1: before Christmas. It's a busy time of year. I think,
20:10
Speaker 1: you know, I think some people do. We We almost
20:14
Speaker 1: never travel for Christmas, but one year with my family
20:17
Speaker 1: before I was married, we traveled like we were gone
20:20
Speaker 1: for Christmas at a resort town and it was packed,
20:25
Speaker 1: really packed. That just seems so like out of the
20:29
Speaker 1: norm for it is for me too, like I can't
20:32
Speaker 1: imagine being anywhere but home. Yeah, but especially with like
20:36
Speaker 1: young children, with young children, yes, because you're in school
20:40
Speaker 1: still some y're in school, and there's something about like,
20:45
Speaker 1: to me, Christmas is like waking up around the tree.
20:47
Speaker 1: But I you know, I'm allowing for people to have
20:50
Speaker 1: different traditions. And you know it's the week before, so
20:54
Speaker 1: maybe they're home in time to have Christmas around their tree. Yeah.
20:58
Speaker 1: Have you been to a dude ranch before? Seems to
21:00
Speaker 1: me that you may have. I haven't, but it is
21:03
Speaker 1: something I would love to do. I wouldn't look for Christmas.
21:07
Speaker 1: I'm like like a luxury dude rink, like a luxury
21:09
Speaker 1: dude dance. Yeah, I don't. I don't want glamping, but
21:12
Speaker 1: I would like horseback riding, and I would like a
21:16
Speaker 1: fire pit every night, and I would like I don't
21:18
Speaker 1: want the muck stalls. I don't think they're actually making
21:20
Speaker 1: you muck out stalls. That's my question. Why are they working?
21:24
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. I don't think there really are. Okay,
21:28
Speaker 1: you know I used to go to a ranch camp
21:32
Speaker 1: right as a young queen ager there. I can see that.
21:37
Speaker 1: And we did have to do chores, yes, and I
21:39
Speaker 1: did have to muck outstalls. That feels expected at a camp, sure,
21:44
Speaker 1: but on a vacation. No, I'm not paying to go
21:47
Speaker 1: muck out stalls. But I would be interested in all
21:51
Speaker 1: of those outdoor, like, yeah, teach me to lasso, Let's
21:54
Speaker 1: play horse shoes, Let's go ride a horse, Let's go
21:57
Speaker 1: fly fishing. The horseshoe scene, this is not in my digits,
22:02
Speaker 1: not on my official notes, but now that you just
22:04
Speaker 1: brought that up, they're playing horseshoes like inside a house,
22:07
Speaker 1: and it's not a house. They're in the barn or whatever.
22:11
Speaker 1: It's so loud, like they're throwing that horseshoe, that metal
22:15
Speaker 1: horseshoe against the metal pole, and it's like clan Clinton clang.
22:19
Speaker 1: If you were like in an enclosed area around that,
22:21
Speaker 1: wouldn't you be like that's really annoying, annoying and disruptive
22:26
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to have a conversation over here. I
22:29
Speaker 1: have no fun. That would I retate me? Yeah? Me too.
22:31
Speaker 1: The horseshoe pit should be outside, absolutely. Yeah. The hay
22:37
Speaker 1: bail tree, I liked it. It doesn't look like a tree.
22:40
Speaker 1: It looks like a stack of hay bales with lights
22:41
Speaker 1: on it. They should have made it more three sixty like, oh,
22:45
Speaker 1: I remember that movie. Just looks like a pyramid of
22:48
Speaker 1: haybil What is that movie where they oh it was
22:52
Speaker 1: from several seasons ago. It might have been the Andrew
22:55
Speaker 1: Walker movie where they got caught on that Christmas island
22:58
Speaker 1: and they made like out of fishing nets or something,
23:02
Speaker 1: not nets but traps. I think, is it missed it
23:05
Speaker 1: Christmas or was it Christmas Island? It was one of
23:09
Speaker 1: those I can envision it. That was nicely done. It
23:11
Speaker 1: looked like a tree right because it had it was.
23:16
Speaker 1: It was tree shaped. This was kind of more like
23:19
Speaker 1: a pyramid. It was. But I liked the idea. I
23:22
Speaker 1: like the idea the snowman made out of the old tires.
23:24
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the execution I think left something
23:27
Speaker 1: to be desired, but I liked I liked the thinking there.
23:31
Speaker 1: Work with what you got right. Thank you to Facebook
23:37
Speaker 1: group moderator Mackie who sent us this. Did you see that?
23:42
Speaker 1: Aaron Cahill posted on her Instagram that a song featured
23:45
Speaker 1: in the movie is performed by her husband, Paul Freeman.
23:48
Speaker 1: The song is come Around for Christmas. Oh that's nice. Yes,
23:52
Speaker 1: that's really nice. We didn't talk about it, so I

23:59
Speaker 1: the song that I didn't talk about the kiss in
24:01
Speaker 1: my likes, because look, that kiss is a huge all
24:05
Speaker 1: caps in my likes. He interrupts her while she's like
24:09
Speaker 1: letting him know, like why they shouldn't do it. He
24:12
Speaker 1: kisses her passionately, the snow falling around them, the music swelling.
24:17
Speaker 1: I thought it was great that we're talking about the
24:20
Speaker 1: first kiss, right because they had two major kisses. Yes,
24:24
Speaker 1: the first kiss. The first kiss. I was watching it.
24:29
Speaker 1: It's so passionate. And then the way he like embraces
24:34
Speaker 1: her is like he's like I don't want to, like,
24:36
Speaker 1: I don't want to let you go, Like I've felt
24:40
Speaker 1: this too. I was like, this is so moving. I
24:44
Speaker 1: thought it was a kiss from a guy who knew
24:46
Speaker 1: he had a lot on the line. Yeah. Agree. Now
24:49
Speaker 1: here's why did you see that? In that particular kiss,
24:53
Speaker 1: her hair is in her face. I cannot see her
24:56
Speaker 1: face at all in this kiss. It is literally covering
24:59
Speaker 1: her her entire profile of her face. Interesting, drove me nuts.
25:04
Speaker 1: Is it are his hands? No, it's just like a
25:07
Speaker 1: wall of blonde hair in her face. His hands are
25:11
Speaker 1: like kind of like grabbing her face. I'm like, but
25:15
Speaker 1: I just was kind of surprised that she wasn't turned
25:17
Speaker 1: toward the camera at all, Like we didn't see like
25:21
Speaker 1: at all. But he is a great smoocher. We talked
25:24
