  Speaker 2: You know this week? I'm actually prepared. It's pulled up
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: up and are you ready? I am okay about Chasing Waterfalls.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Photographer Amy travels to a remote lodge to find mythical
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: waterfalls and falls for a handsome guide Mark, They adventure
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to find the mystic waterfall and discover their true feelings.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Stars Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Time for some news and notes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: There were not many, no, but right before.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: This movie came out, I saw a discussion on Twitter
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: where people were like, what is Hallmark doing? Chasing Waterfalls
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean what they think it means.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Oh like the actual wing the song Chasing Waterfalls doesn't
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: mean yes, like when it's not literal.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Well so in this of course it's not literal, but
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's also I think in this movie they mean it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to mean like chase your dreams, right, But that's not
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what TLC meant when TLC saying chasing waterfalls. And you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: could make the argument that they weren't referencing TLC except
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that they played the song in the trailer. I honestly
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: never even noticed it in the movie.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: It was not in the movie.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, good, Chasing waterfalls to TLC meant like, don't go
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: chasing troublesome endeavors, Like the song is about like drug
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: use and casual sex and how that's basically gonna lead
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to prison and death. So yeah, just a little side
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: note that they have rewritten the meaning of chasing waterfalls
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in this particular case.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They romanticized TLC's chasing waterfalls for the sake of this movie.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah they hall marked it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they like you got hall marked. Oh my god.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: That's filmed in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. And they said
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: all of the waterfalls were within an hour's driving distance
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of Vancouver.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's not exciting to me at all.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Exciting as Vancouver is a big city and like, all
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you're in the middle of nowhere.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: So I thought, okay, cool, all right, I just had
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: this memory that I know that you went to Oregon
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to see some waterfalls. Is that right?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: We did one time, okay, go specifically to see them,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: but we saw them while we were there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay? And was that like life changing? What did
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that make you feel a certain way?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: My husband is a lifelong waterfall chaser. If we are out,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: if there's like a hike, he's like, I want to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: go on the waterfall hike. I want to see waterfalls.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: He loves waterfalls. I don't share the same passion passion walls.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think they're pretty I enjoy them. He's a big fan,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: so uh, he would be all into the Chasing Waterfalls
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: tour of Canada.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. So that's really funny because as I watched this movie,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, is there a population of people who
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: are super into seeing waterfalls? I'm not that person.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: There definitely is, particularly if you look like at hiking reviews,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking at like hiking, what's trail trails?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: They'll have people who like review the trail like how
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: hard it was and the views, And I think there
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: are definitely people who are into waterfalls. I don't think
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: my husband is like super unique in that regard.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Have you ever like swam in a waterfall like had
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: bef Have you.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Really crashing down on our head?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: No?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But like in the water at the base of a waterfall? Yes?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Why? And maybe elsewhere? Oh yeah. When we were on
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: our road trip last year, I wish not last year,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: two years ago. I wish I could remember what state
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we were in. But we did a small hike to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a waterfall, and then there were people that were like
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: jumping off a cliff into the waterfall.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: He did that so dangerous.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: My kids were freaking terrified. Yeah, they're like.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Don't go, Daddy, don't go. Daddy's gonna crash his head
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: on rocks. Yeah, that's fine, awful decision. Oh my godess.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So the only time I've ever been in a water
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: is in like a pool that has a waterfall, Like never, sure, Yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: ever have I been in seen I don't even think
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I've seen a waterfall. Now. My little city, I understand,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: has a little waterfall that you can hike to. Hey,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: but it's only it's only after a good rain. Otherwise
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: it's like dry.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: California, live in.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. Any other news and notes on this movie.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The final waterfall where they shot which I don't know
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: if they're filmed in order, but when they were shooting
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the final waterfall that they went to, they didn't allow
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: photos to be taken, so it had the same like
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they don't want people to know where this is situation
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: as they have in the movie.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I thought that storyline was so ridiculous. I have thoughts
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's start with first impressions.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I hated this movie from top to bottom.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he it, I said, solid start without being
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a home run get.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Out for real? It was so boring.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Well, so what I almost wrote was that I had
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a hard time focusing on the movie, but I also
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: had a lot going on. I watched it during the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: day and I was just trying to like do stuff
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on the computer. I was just kind of like multitasking.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's how I watch these movies now, my
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: multitask as I watched them.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Not being able to focus because I was intentionally doing
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: other things. So I pulled that because I wasn't sure
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that I was a fair assessment.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So what is funny is that when we started reviewing
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Hallmark movies during the countdown to Christmas. That was appointment
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: tea for me. We would sit in front of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: big television screen, my husband and I. We would watch it,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we would talk about it. Now, at this point, I
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: am running the Friendly app on my phone in my headphones,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: while I'm emptying the dishwasher, while I'm paying bills, while
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I walked the dog. So I'm not giving like that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: much attention to these movies anymore, simply because they're hard
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: for me to watch, and this one was especially bad.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Did you like anything about this movie?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I wrote not much. I'm sorry. I had a very
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: hard time getting excited about a story for a girl
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: who is looking to photograph waterfalls.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Well, to be fair to this section of the podcast,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I wrote three things down. I enjoyed Cindy Busby and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Christopher Russell. I think he is the perfect like rugged
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: tour guide actor to play this role.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I would say he fit the stereotype. Sure.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed her. I thought she was cute in this movie.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I liked when he sang that moment, Oh.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I really need him to bust out chasing waterfall in
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that moment. And Okay, I.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Liked the filming locations. It was very it was pretty.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: The waterflatty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Sorry. Okay, let's talk roadblocks. Oh oh my god, I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: didn't write any down. Don't worry, I have plenty. Are
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you ready?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I am yes. Oh.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Amy is searching for mythical falls that may or may
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: not exist, and the only person who can guide her
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: is the rugged tour guide. And then I wrote, uh oh,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: maybe Tara has a thing for Mark, which then becomes
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: uh uh oh, Tara definitely has a thing for her work. Yes,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: uh uh oh. Mark doesn't want to show Amy where
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Redwood Falls is and uh oh, foreshadowing Amy is going
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to betray his trust about the waterfall. Geo tagging is
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: going to play a role.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. The whole conversation about geotagging, right, Well,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Funny because when she was talking to Kira about all
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the features of her camera and she's like, you can
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: even geotag and I remember it stuck out to me.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And then as they were walking back from their sweet
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: little camping trip, right they've had their moment and she's like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I promise I would never betray you that moment to me,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, she's going to betray him somehow,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: even unintentionally. And then my brain flashed right back to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the geotagging, and I knew exactly what's gonna happen.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Man, you just got hallmarked Megan. Now I'm just saying, like,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of course, like these are like red flags, right, Like
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: when you talk about photography, you don't talk about geotag.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I've maybe people do a conversation I've never had is
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: about photography and geotagging ever, except with my iPhone, but
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: never I don't. This is so stupid. I hated this
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: movie so much.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Have anything that you wished for.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: It those two hours of your life back perhaps I wrote,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I wish for a better story. This is so clunky
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and boring. So I thought it was kind of you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: here she is, she works for this magazine. She's actually,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: if I'm correct, is not a hired photographer for the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: magazine at this point, Like what's her job?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: She I don't know, editing, layout writing, and then she
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: like basically begs them to hire her photographer and they're like, oh, okay.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, so she's like a hobby photographer, which we see her. Okay.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Then something with a portfolio. Right, did she bust out
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: like a big ass portfolio book?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah again, once again again this moment. Yeah, they would
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: be have a digital portfolio right when that happened Instagram?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, look at my Instagram.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you she probably nature photography Instagram Like.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: You're you're probably right anyway. I okay, oh right, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: just I just didn't like the story. I just thought
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: it was so boring. And then she like stepped in
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: as like great girlfriend to you know, to the teen
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: girl or whatever. It just was like blah blah. Other things.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I wish for better chemistry between these two, like the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Christopher Russell, like you said, rugged, very good looking, Cindy
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Busby cute, adorable, But these two together were ice cold.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't feel any sort of like chemistry between
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the two of them at all.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Zero Bummer? Did you I liked them?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Bummer bummer is the response I get.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But I liked them. I thought they were cute together.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just bored with cute. I'm bored with cute.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna get hot in a Hallmark movie.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Well, something needs to change quickly, my finger. I mean,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: like I'm holding out hard for Julie Sherman Wolf's movie. Please.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Oh well.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Also, they were teasing the Ireland movie, which I can't
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: think of the name of off the top of my head. Yeah,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: but I noticed this is going to be nothing to you.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: But first of all, I love Joanna Garcia Swisher. But
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it also features Branson from Downton Abbey. I'm all in.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I've never seen that show, so I have no
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: idea what you're talking about. I know Joanna garcias Swisher
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: was on REBA am I right.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, then she was on another show, like another sitcom
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: style show.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: She deserves more than a Hallmark movie. She's a cute
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: little actress. I like her.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I love her. I love her.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to that movie too, because of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the scenery. Now, I know that is complete opposite of
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about here, because I give two shits
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: about a waterfall, but Ireland I could get behind that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: What did you wish for with this movie?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't love the waterfalls have personality bit like once
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: fine as a carry about moment. Ugh, she doesn't want
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to be photographed, shut up. I hated that, and I wished,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: as I do often, that Mark did not assume the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: worst in amy when things go wrong.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Oh well, every dude does right in these movies, like
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: it's always like all or nothing like.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Right, and you did this sort of conflict. I get it,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: but but yeah, I come on, no, I just.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I just want the writers of these movies to not
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: follow the freakin' Hallmark outline so closely. Do something different,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: do something different. Okay, let me take a breath.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Here you ready for did you see that?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I am? I have a few.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Don't put your suitcase on the bed. Oh that was
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: number one of hotel stays. Never bed bugs, and that's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: how you bring them home.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Or you're putting your dirty suitcase on a bed you're
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: going to sleep in. Like both ways, it's gross. Use
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the little luggage stand that's in there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Did you see her bike shorts as she wore for hiking.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I did not. Yes, yes, I just
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: rode a blog post all about bike shorts.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Wendy and I are having a bike shorts renaissance these days,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: so my eyes were on high alert.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Well, kudos to Costumin for you know, jumping down trend there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Did you notice? Okay, there was one scene they were
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: talking about a compass and he says or like directions
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and he's like, I was born with it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: The dude's name is Mark North, And I thought, was
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: that on purpose? Was that on for sure?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: For sure? Oh my god, I didn't notice that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Now I knew that their names were funny because shout
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: out to deck the Hallmark. They did a preview of
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: all these movies and they talked extensively about the names
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of the characters in this movie and how like on
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the nose they were, So I unders I kind of
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: knew that going in. His name is Mark North, he's
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a tour guide. Her name is Amy Atwater. She's looking
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: at water. You know what I mean? Oh my.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Right, shout out to them for that's funny.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: See that. But what was made me laugh harder was
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: that this line and he was like I was born
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: into it or I was born with it or something.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the exact line, but I was like,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: somebody is right on the nose with this, with the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: names and the characteristics of these people.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Okay, can we talk bears?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, So did you see they're hiking and he's clapping
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and he says, you got to clap tool er at
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the bears that you're coming.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: So I have been hiking in bear country. We went
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to Yellowstone and the Grand Teton several years ago and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: there are many bears in the area, and we got
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: bear spray before hiking, which is what exactly. It's basically
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: pepper spray, so it's not a repellent. It's like if
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you're being attacked by a bear, you spray like in
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: their eyes.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, right, oh my god.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: But they also there there were other like talk loudly,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: saying so that you don't the worst thing to do
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: with a bear is to sneak up on them. But
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, clapping is that a thing? And according
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to NPS dot org the National Park Service, that is, clapping, yelling,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: talking are all good ways to alert a bear of
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: your presence.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Oh so you never want to sneak up on it.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't, like they don't think humans are prey,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but if they think you're a danger to them, that's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: when they're going to attack you. Okay, But what one
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of the things that it said, because when they see
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the bear, they get real loud and aggressive. Oh kay,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: National Park Service says is move away slowly and sideways,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: do not run, do not climb a tree, continue to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: talk in low tones. A scream or sudden movement may
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: trigger an attack. Never imitate bear sounds or make a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: high pitched squeal. And then it goes on to talk
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: about bear attacks. Oh my god, And in a brown
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: or grizzly bear attack, you should play dead. But in
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a black bear attack, it says, do not play did
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: concentrate your kicks and blows on the bear's face and muzzle.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So basically, black bear attacks you, You're gonna die, is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: what they're saying.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Like I would write first back, I don't even know
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: if in that instant I would be like, this is
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: a black bear. Nope, this is a brown bear. How
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: am I supposed to respond? I would be high pitched screaming,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: climbing up a tree, everything you're not supposed to do.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: This is why I don't go out.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: There are rare. Bear attacks are rare, but I don't know.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You should also not hike at dawn or dusk, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not hike alone. Okay, so we may move on from
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: bear talk with Magana Wendy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: But I have a question a bear talk, didn't he
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: say something about like when you're going to the bathroom,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to clap or something like that. Why is
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: their bathroom? Why am I thinking like, when you're taking
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a squat in the forest, you should be clapping so
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a bear doesn't sneak up on you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I just think you're supposed to be making noise at
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: all times so they hear you coming. Okay, when I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: let about my bathroom specifically, maybe I'm imagining that they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: had this line in the movie. Might have to go
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: back and look.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Okay. Also, what if what if you're sleeping in a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: tent then you're quiet and the bear comes up on you,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: then what are you supposed to do? Do you play
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: a radio all night long?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: There was something about like if a bear is stalking
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you in your tent, But I can't find that one
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: right now, keep you in your tent.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Speaking speaking of dangerous situations, Megan, would you ever let
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: a stranger blindfold you in the forest?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: M No? Does she he blindfold her? Ye?
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Forget that. Yes, he was like trying to, like, uh,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: you know, throw her off the path so he so
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: she doesn't memorize where the waterfall is and then he
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: ends up blindfolding her. And I was like, there's no
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: freaking way I would let this handsome stranger blindfold me
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: out in the middle of the woods or forest or
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: wherever this is because he's gonna kill me.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: No eep in mind that directly before or after this incident,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: she says to her friend, I am hopelessly head over
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: heels in love with him. So I think we can
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: apply a different filter to this interaction. No, I hate
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: being blindfolded. I have no sense of direction. I don't
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: like the dark. I would full blown panic, whether it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a stranger or not.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I just it. No, it just I hated everything about that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: A rational person wouldn't be like, Okay, stranger I met
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: you two days ago, blindfold me and lead me out
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: to my death. No, no, nope.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I bet that waterfall water was freezing that they were
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: swimming in.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, it was. Was this film like last year
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: or early this year.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It was filmed at the end of twenty twenty. But guys,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that's like melted snow. You're in Canada, it's like melted
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: snow water that's pouring down on you. Waterfalls are always cold,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: unless you're link in the tropics, they're cold.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Wow. Interesting, I have one more. Did you see that? Yes,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: when the article about the waterfalls comes out, it's online, right, Yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it's not a hard copy magazine article.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the coordinates to these majestic, mysterious, never to
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: be seen by human life waterfalls are in the online article, right,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and therefore could be removed. Yes, what the hell? What
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: it was? They made such a big deal out of it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: The boss who was supposed to be like some Anna
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Winter of this outdoor magazine could have easily been like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. You're right, that was my bad or
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: whoever took accountability for that. Let's log on to our
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: back end and delete those coordinates. So the five people
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: who have seen this like online article don't have access
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to it anymore. It's not like it went viral and
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: they're acting like it did. They're like, did just see
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the bustload of people who pulled up today to come
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: see the article or come see the waterfall? Give me
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: a break.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the kind of article that has a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: slow burn that people run across as they're searching for,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: you know, their vacation destination things to see in Canada,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: they come across these waterfalls. Yes, yes, they could have
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: deleted it and the damage would have been minimal.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, the information was out there. Perhaps someone could have
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: shared it with someone else, et cetera, et cetera, especially
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: if it is such a mythical place that people have
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: always been searching for and now they've found it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: But I hear you, and she just so happens to
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: stumble onto the Twisted Sister Rock and then she knew
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: where she was going to find the fall. It was just,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: oh my god. I had some flashbacks to that movie
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: with Reese Witherspoon where she went on that hiking adventure
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: that Wild Yes, and you know she bought those like
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: brand new boots. It was kind of along the same
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: lines where he was like, you need better shoes for
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: hiking or whatever. Didn't you did you see some similarities
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: with that?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Or am I just have I just read that book,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: which is based on a true story.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I did not. Oh you never saw no.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But do you remember in Gilmore Girls when Lurlai she's like,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I'm doing Wild and they're like book or movie, it's
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the city it's based on that. So when she goes
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: on that like to hike the Pacific crestrail, they're like
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: book or movie?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, I know, But now I'm wondering,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: am I confused? Was the boots storyline in The Gilmore
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Girl's Revival?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's in because in the at what
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: point she like throws her boots over the edge in
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the book, because they're like tearing up her feet, So
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's okay, probably in the movie.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Also, okay, all right, all right, all right, anything else
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: did you see that?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when they come back from their camping trip and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they have been swimming in a waterfall and sleeping in
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a tent, her hair is perfectly curled. Could we not
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: have like left her hair straight at that point? Like, no,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: she does not have perfect ringlets in her hair after swimming.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking the same thing. And like when
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: they camped down she got up the next morning, she
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: looks like super cute, Like I look like Albert Einstein
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: when I wake up in the morning, Like my hair
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: is crazy looking, like, well, yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: There's no continuity. She's getting bitten by mosquitoes all night long,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and then she just like I slept great. I'm like, no,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? You should have welt all over
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: your body and be so tired because the bugs kept
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you up all night.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, another another thing. In that scene, he goes,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: how do you like your eggs? And she looks down
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: and she goes scrambled, and he's like, oh good, because
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: they were already scrambled. And I was like, what is
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: that movie? It's one of your favorite movies. It's a
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Julia Roberts movie. And there's something No, it's not one
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: of your favorite movies. It's Runaway Bride. Now I'm getting
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: that confused with my best friend's wedding. Oh yeah, anyway, runaway.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, she changes her egg preference based on her dude.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. And I was like, oh, don't be that
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: girl scrambled, Like how.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I honestly I hear you. I honestly didn't read it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: that way. I thought she was like, you know, that's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the kind of eggs we have, So that's the kind
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of eggs I want. It's not like he can touch
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: an egg in the middle of the.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Four I guess, but whatever.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Okay. So Tara, who is the other tour guide who
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: clearly has a thing for Mark, and I kind of
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: hated what they did to her character because they made
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: her this like needy, clingy, even though Mark was like, yeah,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: we went out, didn't work out, and he's just a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: nice guy and their friends. It kind of bugged me
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that they made her this like I don't look desperate woman,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, but desperate woman is is.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I just didn't like that for her. But when the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: last night she's there, she goes, you're leaving tomorrow, rite Amy,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and she's so ready for her to be done. I did.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of funny, but yeah, it's
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the same thing for a more powerful role.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: When she showed up at the karaoke, she's like, oh,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you're still here, like you know, yeah, Like why could she.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Have just been like the fellow tour guide who maybe
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: didn't trust her because she didn't want to reveal this
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: secret location, but didn't have to be she didn't trust
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: her because she wanted Mark too, right, right, we don't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: need to center this like the one handsome dude tour guide.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Totally okay, my last did you see that? And I'm
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: throwing it back to an IMDb review that I read
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: on this movie. Uh, let me read it for you,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: and then I'm going to talk about the digit see
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: that moment quote was extremely unnerved by the whole preteen
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: with makeup and short skirt. So I went back and
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: looked at it today. It was when they were at
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: karaoke and the Kira right was getting popcorn and thinking
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: about going to talk to the boy or whatever. She's
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: wearing a mini, a denim mini skirt that is above
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: her knee. Like it's not it's not like Daisy Duke shorts.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It's an appropriate length mini skirt. And she's wearing a
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: long sleeve shirt that is tucked in. Like, who are
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: these people that are watching these movies and leaving these
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: reviews on IMDb?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Oh so let's not like close Shane, the twelve year
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: old people.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, what she did not pick the outfit
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: out herself, Like it's even if.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: She did, I know, super loved to erase the narrative
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you know about I know, our daughter's clothes.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: But right, yes, she.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Was super cute. There was nothing that would have raised
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: any alarm bells, even in someone who does care what
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: these tween girls are wearing. But I thought she was cute.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed her actually her character in the movie.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I know sometimes like these like preteen kids on these
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: movies can be super annoying, but like I thought, she
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: was kind of cute except for her like the whole
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: bit how she like took this amazing picture of a hummingbird,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: like just.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Almost dumb, but I know it was. The cheese factor
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: was heavy in this movie.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: What did you rate our Good pal Chasing Waterfalls?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I've decided that I'm going to rate these
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: movies strictly based on like the spring fleeing Cannon? Is
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: that the right word. I'm not going to compare them
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: to Love ever After or New Year New Movies anything.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: This is a stand alone for me, and this movie
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: gets one star.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: WHOA, Yeah, I kind of rate these on their own.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not comparing this to anything else, and it's a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: two and a half star for me.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, seriously, seriously.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: So next week we are going to be reviewing Don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Go Breaking My Heart, which may or may not have
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: had a name change from Breakup boot Camp at some
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: point in the recent past, but regardless, Ryan Pavey and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Italia Ricci, we are very excited for that one. Until
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: next time, have a great week, everybody, Goodbye, goodbye,
