  Speaker 2: that one sounds good, that one sounds good, that one

  Speaker 2: sounds good. Yeah, we're in trouble, Megan, We are in trouble.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Indeed, So we went through the first three weeks of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: movies because that's what we knew about. So if we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: would love it, if you would give that episode a listen.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But we're gonna jump right in. I think we should
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: jump right in with Friday November twelfth, open by Christmas.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: All right. This stars Alison Sweeney Sammy from Days of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Our Lives, Erica Durant from Smallville, Brennan Elliott from Christmas
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in Vienna. You like Brendan Elliott? Am I correct? I can't.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: The name sounds familiar, but I can't place the face
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I think maybe I was thinking of Brendan Penny. Oh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I like him.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm looking him up. Oh, I recognized his face. He
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: was in Unreal.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like him.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally recognize his face. I can't remember what
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: else he's been in.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: How funny.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: There's a Google search that says people also ask is
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Brennan Elliott nice? Oh that's so interesting, right, very interesting?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And we have like almost the same birthday.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Too funny, So I'm exciting, all right, okay, all right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The synopsis for this movie reads, when Nikki finds an
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: unopen Christmas card from a high school secret admirer, she
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and her best friend Simone search to find and thank
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the anonymous author. I think we briefly discussed this movie
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in our first recaps. Yeah, I didn't have a release date.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: My thought then and my thought now is I'm into
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this secret admirer search me too, totally.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not into searching to find and thank the anonymous author. Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: like thank them.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's say let's for admiring me.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get some like I don't know, hot romance
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: vibes happening.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this one. Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Is there a gift in the card? Is that why
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you feel the necessary? It's necessary to say thank you? Hey?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: What's next? I have on the list?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: My Christmas Family Tree premiere Saturday, November thirteenth, starring Amy
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Tea Garden, Andrew Walker, and James Tupper. Now, Amy Tea
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Garden was in what I feel is was the worst
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: movie of twenty twenty one. I don't remember the name
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of it, but they did a like an ice Cold Swim.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It was a New Year's resolution.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I hated that movie with all my being.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I think she's most recognizable from her role on Friday
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Night Lights. I enjoyed that movie quite a bit. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: like her. I think she's adorable. So I knew you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: were gonna have some thoughts, But I have some thoughts
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: on the synopsis, So why don't you read it? Okay?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: When Vanessa receives the results from her family tree DNA test.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I am laughing. She discovers a family she
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: didn't know existed and travels to their home for Christmas.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So, without saying who, let me just say that I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: know someone who did a similar DNA test and discovered many, many,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: many siblings, and so I always find these stories amusing. However,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: this storyline was similarly done last year in Love Lights Hanka. Yes, yes, exactly,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the actor the woman discover she has this family. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: remember having a number of complaints about that movie. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: can't remember a single one of them, but you could
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: go get We did recap that episode on Girls Gotten Homework,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So I hope that they don't just reinvent the wheel
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: on this one.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like the non Hanukkah movie they just
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: transferred the story to.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah whatever.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But it also stars Andrew Walker, who I.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Think is quite handsome. Yes, I can't remember why he
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was in this year though the Twenty seven Hour Day.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Oh I love that movie. Who am I I love
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that movie. I really like that movie a lot, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I like Andrew Walker. So excited about Amy T Garden. Sorry,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but I definitely probably will watch this.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Movie next up Sunday, November nineteenth. A Holiday in Harlem No,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: November fourteenth. Yeah, that's all right. It stars Olivia Washington,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Will Adams, and Tina Lifford.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I just don't know who any of these people are.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: No, Olivia Washington. As soon as you see her, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: believe you will recognize her. But this is a new
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: cast to me. Oh my gosh.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: She is the daughter of Denzel Washington.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: No, I did not yet that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't know that either. She's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: on the red carpet with her dad. Very beautiful girl.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen her in anything. I'm
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: excited for it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I do believe that Will Adams might be a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: very big newcomer, because here we go. He has two
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: credits on IMDb. He's in Omacasse and he's in The Oval.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But I believe in The Oval he was crew, not cast,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: so this may be his first acting role. He's very handsome,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: maybe not so fun. Side note. A Holiday in Harlem
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was filmed in Hartford, Connecticut. Oh that's interesting. The Yeah,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: there were some photos. Harlem is a pretty distinct has
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a pretty distinctive look. I don't think Hartford looks like Harlem,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but you know, they do some real tight shots. It'll
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they do. There's another movie
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that has a disappointing filming location. We'll get to that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in a minute, but the synopsis is. After her grandmother,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Mama Bell, turns away her usual gift delivery, expecting presence
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: over presence, Jet setting executive, Jasmine heads uptown to Harlem
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for a quick visit. However, when Mama Bell is injured,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Jasmine agrees to stay in the neighborhood and take over
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: co chairing their blocks annual Christmas jamboree with her old
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: best friend Caleb, A successful corporate fixer, Jasmine expects the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: job to be easy, but quickly finds that she has
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a lot to learn about the community and her heart. Hm.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Does corporate fixer give you like Olivia Pope vibes? No?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: What was that show on maybe HBO with Kristin Bell
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and Don Cheatle.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Was she a fixer too? I think that was their
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: their role? Super irreverentd like super raunchy show. But yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: how do you what's your first impression of this movie?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: This feels like the standard Hallmark going home to your family,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: being stuck there with a little bit of a big
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: city as opposed to small town twist. She says, heads uptown,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't feel like she's going far, like perhaps
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: she lives in Manhattan. I actually don't know geographically where
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Harlem is in relation to the rest of the city.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I apologize, I don't know. I mean, this does not
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: feel like a new storyline to me, no at all,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And the presence over presence. My initial reaction is like,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: don't make demands all my time, even during the holidays.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Kind of jerk, but you know, don't tell me what
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I certainly know people who are like, oh,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just just I would like to see you more give
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: me that gift during the hirk No during the holiday time.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That's really hard. Yeah, all right, let's move on.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Nan tecket Nowell premieres Friday, November nineteenth, starring Trevor Donovan,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Whoa and Sarah Power. I like Trevor Donovan a lot.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know who Sarah Power is.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Wherever Donovant is deeply pretty so pretty. It was true
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for the Win that skiing movie, which I liked. Yes, yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Sarah Powers in The Goodwitch, but she's only in the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: last season I believe of the show. My daughter and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I like The good Witch on Hallmark. There's actually several
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: good Witch stars starring in kind Ona Christmas movies. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the most disappointing thing about this movie for me is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that a movie called Nantucket Noel was filmed in Canada
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: as opposed to Nantucket. Yes, now it was film seaside.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Trevor Dnovan posted some photos and he was like, can
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you guess where we are? I mean, it was filmed
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: on the water, But there aren't many places in the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: country that I or in the world really that I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: want to live. Nantucket, having never been there, is one
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of those places that in another life I would have
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to live year round, not just during the summer.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. It just makes me sad that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it's not film there. All right, Let's get to the synopsis. Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: During the seaside Noel celebrations, Kristin learns of a developer
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: who is planning to tear down the wharf that is
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: home to her toy store. Tensions rise as she falls
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: forward the developer's son Andy.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Once again, this is not a news storyline. I just
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: watched last year, an older movie where it was this
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: bookstore the woman fell in love with the developer son
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and he tries to fight to save the store, and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the dad's like, you gotta put business before pleasure. But
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I enjoy Trevor Donovan and I like the Nantucket idea,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: so I could be here for this, Okay, all right,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: all right, which I'll tune in for Trevor Donovan. Yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: next Saturday, November twentieth, A Christmas Together with You stars
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Harry Lennox, Laura Vandervoort, and Neill mad Her. The synopsis
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: is during the Christmas season, Megan and her father figure Frank,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: head out on a road trip to find his long
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: lost love. Along the way, Megan finds the love of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: her own life. Oh, I kind of like a road trip.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I like a road trip. We're gonna get lots of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: green screens.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Oh no, those have been so bad during the fall
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the fall season.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So there's a TikToker I follow. I believe his TikTok
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: name is David on Set, and he films a lot
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of Hallmark and Hallmark style movies. And he posted a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: video recently of a sound stage with the car, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: he was like, driving scenes are never actually driving? Almost never,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is what he said, So there's some intel on that one.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Laura Vanderbert was in playing Cupid this year.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: M hm.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They credit and me all matter with the movie Country
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: at Heart, but we will remember him better from Never
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Kiss a Man on a Christmas Sweater. Oh no, oh,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that's a bit of a strike against this movie. Start.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But I believe that the biggest problem with Never Kiss
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a Man in a Christmas Sweater was it's writing, not
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: its acting. So I think I'm gonna give this movie
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: another chance.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I like the father daughter elli bit here, and you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: like that the girl's name is Megan.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Well, sure do spelled correctly. But this next movie I'm
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so excited about. Go ahead and tell us about it
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: on my list. It's a Kiss before Christmas? Is that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: what you have? Okay?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: We had talked briefly about this in our last preview episode.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: We talked about Terry Hatcher. Yes, okay, but I didn't
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: know who was starring with her, James Denton or Mary
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Lou Henner.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Are you excited about? Okay? Well, hold on, I interrupted
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you start from being.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: A Kiss before Christmas premieres Sunday, November twenty First stars
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: James Denton, Terry Hatcher, and Mary Lou Henner. Do you
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: want me to read the synopsis first?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: When nice guy Ethan casually wishes his life had taken
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a different course, Oh, is this a Dickens story? He
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: wakes up the next day to find nothing is the same.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: He's not married to his wife Joyce, he doesn't have
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: two teenaged kids, and he's CEO of his company. And
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that doesn't make sense. He's CEO compared to what.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know? All right.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: If he wants to reclaim his original life and the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: family he loves, he must convince Joyce he's telling the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: truth and win her over. And he only has until
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day. I mean, this has Wolf written.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: All over it. Oh why are you excited about? First
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: of all, James Denton and Terry Hatcher together again? They
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: were on Desperate Housewives. Yes, he played her husband and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: then her ex husband and okay, I believe her husband again.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: He also has was in every season of The Good Witch,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: which again is a show that I really enjoy. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: like him on that show. This movie has click vibes
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: on it for me. Have you seen click with Adam Sandler. No,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Kate Beckhamsale. Oh oh, I've seen it many times. My
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: husband loves that movie, probably watches it once a year.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It feels very much the same, and I'm into it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this movie very much.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say that I kind of like that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: it has a more mature leading lady and man. Yeah,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: as opposed to you know, like Hallmark's Hotties, right right,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I mean I want to see a preview. I want
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to see a preview and then we'll see, okay, the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: next movie. I'm not watching next movie.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November twenty fifth, The Nine Kittens of Christmas.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: We've already discussed this movie. It stars Brandon Routh, Kimberly,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Sustad and Gregory Harrison. Kat lovers, Zachary and Merrily are
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: thrown back together at Christmas when they're tasked with finding
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: homes for a litter of adorable kittens. We have, Like
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I said, discuss this. This is the second movie. The
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: original was The Nine Lives of Christmas. I do believe
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: this movie was placed on Thanksgiving to bury it deep,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: deeply in the lineup. It's it's a throwaway. But that said,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we move into the next section, which they are calling
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Mary Thanksgiving Weekend. Last year, Hallmark released a new movie
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: every single day of Thanksgiving Week Monday through Sunday. This year,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: they're releasing two movies Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Did you
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: notice anything about this lineup? No? Not really. So there's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a movie at six pm Eastern, in a movie at
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern and okay, eight pm movies are big
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Hallmark guns, big names over all of them. I see
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: ex PM movies could go either way. I see it, yes,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: so jump into the first one. The first one is
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Christmas Ceo premierees Friday, November twenty six.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: This is the six o'clock movie. Stars Marisol Nichols and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Paul Green. Have no idea who either of those two are.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: A small toy company ceo Whoe another toy company movie,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: gets a once in a lifetime offer to merge with
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a mega toy company, but will need her estranged ex
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: business partner's signature to seal the deal. What he helps
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: her rediscover will change both of their lives. This doesn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: excite me at all one bit.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not excited about it. This doesn't feel unique to me. Yeah,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I would agree. I'm not super excited. I unfortunately don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know anything about either of these actors other than their photos.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's move on to the big gun
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: movie Friday, number twenty six. This might be the movie
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the most three. An Unexpected Christmas
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: stars Bethany joy Lenz and Tyler Hines. And I sent
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Wendy a picture from the set of An Unexpected Christmas
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and tell me what the first thing you noticed was,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, his hair is so much better. Tyler
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Hines got to makeover. He's no longer rocking that Eddie
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Munster hair long slicked back.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's got a short cut now.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Almost like that little fauxhawk spike in the front. I'm
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: so into it. This has the shortest synopsis of the bunch.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: A writer convinces his ex girlfriend to pose as a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: couple for Christmas. Again, this is a classic Hallmark trope.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Let's pretend we're in a relationship. Who knows the reason.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I would watch two hours of Tyler
• 17:50

  Speaker 1: most recognizable to me as the star of Young and Hungry,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: which I have never watched, but Netflix serves up to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: me relentlessly as a show at things I might watch.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: She has a very cute, recognizable face. So and Casey
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Ddrich is real cute.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know who that is either, and I am
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: looking at pictures of him. I was like, Oh, is
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: he related to Marlena did Didrich? Nope, Wendy, that is
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: a character right from Days of Our Lives.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: That's Oh he is handsome, whoa whoa? Well he plays
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a Chad Demia. He's pretty good.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you looking at a picture and what
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: it's doing to me right now. I am definitely watching this.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: This is a watch for Wendy. He's handsome.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, this next one, I'm not going to read the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: synopsis because it's so freaking long.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can tell you.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: It's something about Salt Lake City and his sister goes
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: here and his sister goes there or something like that. Anyway,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: it is called Sister Swap, a hometown holiday, which premieres Sunday,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: December fifth, But then it has a companion movie. Mine
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: is all put together on my list as yours the
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: same or.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: No, no, I have the companion movie later. I was
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on the twelfth. Okay, so.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how to describe this movie.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: So basically, the idea here is that these movies star
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Williams, Paisley and Ashley Williams, who are sisters, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: they each have one of them is the star of
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: each movie, but the movies crossover, and the information I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: read said there will be some shared scenes or some
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: scenes from a different perspective. And I enjoy both of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: these actresses very much. I just hope that there's enough
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: original content to make two movies interesting.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, look I'm gonna watch this because those are
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: two good actors. But it also stars Kevin Nalan, who
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: is like a former Saturday Night Live comedian actor.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so rays we have this one is a hometown
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: holiday and then the other movie is Christmas in the City,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: So we got like a little country mouse city mouse
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: action happening here. Are you gonna watch this?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure. Love of Kimberly Williams, Paisleychael.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's smart that they didn't do it like
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: back to back six pm, eight pm because you're probably
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: watching like almost the same movie, right, they're doing it
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: like a week apart from each other. Yeah, yeah, Okay.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Friday, December tenth, a Dickens of a Holiday starring Christopher

• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I talked about that many times? Yes?
• 28:38

• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. I like that movie. Yeah, I liked her,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: so I'm here for it. And Christopher Polaha in Wonder
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Woman nineteen eighty four. His credit is like a hot
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: guy hold on looking them up. I know I sound
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: boy crazy. I'm really not.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I'm just you know, I need a little bit of
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: you know, eye candy.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: To watch this movie sometime. Sure, I don't know about

  Speaker 1: hot guy. He's a cutie. I think he's laty, classic
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: good looking guy. Yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I love anything that rips off of Christmas Carol. So
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I will probably watch this one too.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what's next?

  Speaker 2: He was a good actor and he does have some
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Wowe's ali when.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: He takes his shirt off. So m He was also
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: on the Heart of Dixie, which I loved to play
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Jonah Breeland. Okay, Travis van Winkle, I'm look at I
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: am really.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Excited about who Hallmark cast in these movies this year.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm excited.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on to Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. Yeah, a
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: channel we don't typically watch.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: No, and are you are you interested in hearing my
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: strategy for Hallmark movies and Mysteries movies this year.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably the same one I have in
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: my brain, but go ahead. So during Christmas in July,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: my husband recorded many, many Christmas movies and he watched
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: them throughout July, and yesterday he was saying, I really
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: liked having those like the Leftovers to watch in August.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: So he's like, oh, I will be nice to have
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: some extra movies because Hallmark of course airs all their
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: originals plus many re releases to fill in the time.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: So he was saying, oh, it would be nice to
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: have those to watch into January. He's like, just made
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: me happy to keep Christmas going.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: So what I was saying is, well, what we should
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: do is save the movies and mysteries for after the
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: holidays because we probably won't recap any of those and
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I need to focus my time on the ones that
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: are more timely. Plus we watch a number of other
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: non Hallmark holiday movies as well, So that is my strategy.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: These are like a post holiday winter break, Keep the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Spirit alive watch for me. Here is the problem with
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: that these movies have big names in them. Some of
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: them do, yes.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, so I'm guessing they're trying to get more
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: people to watch Hallmarks Movies and Mysteries Channel. But I
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: feel like I can can't let the holiday season. I
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: am not want to prolong the holiday season. Christmas is over,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: everything gets wrapped up and put away December twenty sixth.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: So I think I'm gonna have to watch these when
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: they air.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, but for words, I mean three movies a weekend
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: plus these, I mean, rock on with your bad self. Well,
• 35:22

• 39:36
  Speaker 1: has turned a number of them into movies. This, I
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: believe is the third or the fourth Missus Miracle movie.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: This is a real classic Hallmark audience favorite. People that
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: are likely to say I don't like the direction Hallmark
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: is going really enjoy the Missus Miracle movies. I enjoy
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Caroline Ray. I would watch this. This is straight up

  Speaker 2: rock Star and Christmas. I love it, especially Peter Gallagher.

• 40:40
  Speaker 2: time called Center Stage, where he's a ballet director movie.
• 40:44

• 41:22

• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety five? It's a ten year old YouTube upload. Anyway,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: that's the vibes that's giving me. That's perhaps unfair, that's

  Speaker 1: a that's what I'm getting from this movie. Did Nicki

  Speaker 1: son with autism. This is very near and near to

  Speaker 1: I love Holly Robinson, Pete and I will watch this awesome.
• 44:54

  Speaker 1: christ one and christ to b Allen.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: She played the child in thirteen going on thirty with

  Speaker 2: thirteen year old.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, Now I have two questions for you. Will you
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: be watching the new movies that are gonna be on
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Hallmark Movies now?
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't have the Hallmark movies now app and
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: quite frankly I'm done getting apps, so probably not. But
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: we have every time A bell rings On Thursday November
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: eighteenth starring Aaron Khill from a Timeless Christmas, Brittany Ishibashi,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Ali Lieber, and Wes Brown. Hat.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big cast to throw on like an
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: app streaming service rando.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: No, Well, the app sucks, I'm so sorry, But it
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't feature new movies with the exception of the occasional
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: original that goes directly to the app, So I think
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: this is their way of trying to draw new subscribers.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: The app does not feature all of the new content
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: in the other two lineups, and I think sometimes they
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: try and like trick people like get all the Hallmark movies,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: but it's not actually all the Hallmark movies, So I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: think this is their like ploy. I do think it's
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: kind of a bummer for people like Wes Brown and
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Aaron Cahill, who are you know, fairly big names in
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Hallmark who get shunted to the app. Yeah.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they still got the same paycheck though, for sure.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: So I'm also seeing another movie here called sugar Plum
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Twist December second with a bunch of people I've never
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: heard of, and it's a twist on dance of the
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: sugar Plum Fairy with some Latin vibes. I don't look
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: at I'm not going to go over there and watch
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not. No, I'm not doing it, not because I
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: don't want to watch.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: That movie with a Latin twist? Are you making fun
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: of my synopsis reading? Oh, I'm making fun of Hallmark.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: They're like, we are inclusive.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a no for me. It's not the movie
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: that's a no for me. It's just I'm not going
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: to go on to another app and watch another movie when.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I'm already paying for Friendly. No, precisely the movies all
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: and before Christmas this year. I remember we were still
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: watching like December thirtieth Christmas movies last year, weren't we.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there just must be showing repeats.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Then, that is assuming Hallmark sticks to this schedule. There
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: is no telling what will happen. So that is the
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: schedule as it stands. Those are our thoughts. We will
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: start reviewing movies on Thursday, so make sure you are
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: subscribed to the podcast so you never miss a new episode.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Let us know your thoughts on the Hallmark lineup, and
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: we can't wait to start counting down to Christmas with
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: you guys. Have a great weekend. Everybody, goodbye bye,
