  Speaker 6: Fiji water to be sent to the studio and there
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: was a lot of words exchange that I won't repeat,
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: but listen, I feel like we can let bygones be
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: bygones and we can really make it, make it happen.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: So I'm trying to join you Facebook group. The first
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: thing is no hate speech for bullying. How you're out
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: and I'm out in the cu Respect everyone's privacy in
• 2:08

  Speaker 6: We're excited to be here. I want to be very clear,
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: all joking aside. You guys are wonderful and we're super
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: excited to be here because I do feel like we're
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: kindred spirits. I feel like the way that we watch
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: these movies uh lines up and that you can't say
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: that about all Hallmark viewers.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: As Wendy mentioned in our intro, she's our reformed Hallmark hater.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: You and Dan, you get it, well, can you?
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Wendy? So what happened? How did you end up falling
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: for these movies?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: She dragged me, kicking and screaming.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so that's what I did. But I was
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: like hoping there was some secret like formula that I
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: can I don't know magic.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I boarded her with Hallmark movie.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Got it and reformed is a loose term, but you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I try to play nice to the listeners.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: You know, I would say the bridge that I've crossed
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: is is I used to hate them, now I love
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: to hate them, so like now I do like I
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: know a lot of the people that are in them now,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: which does change my perspective. If you listen to like
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: the first season of our show, you'll hear me just
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: being like this guy he's a bad actor, and this
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: girl like, And now I don't do that because I've
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I've got a little bit more maturity about me and
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: I realized that, you know, these are people. But I
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: also still think a lot of these movies are just
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: God awful and so you know that's that's where we
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: end up.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Truth. Yeah, well, you guys put up five episodes a week.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And I have a real quick question about your process
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: because it's not just Hallmark movies you do Lifetime. You're
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: in the middle of a fast and Furious review series.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Are you like watching a movie every night? Do you
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: have a movie marathon one day a week? How are
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: you because it's a lot to watch and review that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: many movies every week.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't actually watch them, We just give it. Yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: I'm just kind of wing. I've been watching nothing but
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: k dramas. I watch only Korean television. I don't watch
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: anything anything else. H No, I you The thing about
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: our life is is it is very like you can't
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: come home, like my wife works in healthcare, Like I
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: cannot go home and be like what a day to
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: day because we watch movies for a living, So our
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: mondays are pretty packed around here. We usually watch two
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: movies and an episode of a TV show by lunchtime,
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: and sometimes we pass. Sometimes we have to watch during
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: during lunch, so sometimes we have to order that pizza
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: and just keep watching as and sometimes we send producer
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Aaron to go to go get us lunch. So it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: tough around here. We watched We watch a lot on
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Monday and then the rest of the week we usually
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: watch one or two things throughout the weekend. We watch
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: nothing on the nights of the weekends.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: So it is a legitimate you're watching.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: We watch in we have a watch room.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: We watch it together.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: We hold hands, recliners in a surround sound system and
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: we hold hands.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Stop we had but like, why you're trying to make this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: We don't hold hands. You're making it weird.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: We don't hold hands constantly, but occasionally, if Brand thinks
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: something's really great and he doesn't get it, he'll reach
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: over and he'll grab my arm or something. That is true. Uh.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: But we have a mini fridge filled with beverages, mostly
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: non alcoholic, and we we spend the day watching uh
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: these movies and then we record the episodes and that
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: we're in our studio, which is just across the hall,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: so we have a little office space. It is if
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: you're gonna listen. There's a lot of ways to watch
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: these movies. I think most people watch them while doing
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: another task. We like dissect them. And you guys are
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: in that same boat, and so for us, it's the
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: it's the job. The hardest part of my week every
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: week is watching Wind Calls the Heart. That is the
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: hardest part of my work week. So when my wife,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: like you know, dealt with a you know, an infant
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: who is premature, I can't go home and be like, well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: you know, we had to watch what it calls the
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Heart day.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I think Elizabeth is going back to Nathan and I, well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: people are going crazy. I don't like it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Bill Avery owns the restaurant, but he eats at the bar.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: I don't understand, Like, we can't do that. So, yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: it's pretty great. We were living the dream around here
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: and we count it joy every single day because we
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: can't believe we get to do it. So we don't
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: have to stay up late or watch them like, we
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: just watch them during the day. We have a schedule
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: that we put together and we just show up at
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: nine and start watching movies.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: We hold hands.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: So look, as we're recording this, the countdown to Christmas
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: lineup has just dropped. Do you feel like you're gearing
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: up for a marathon going into this season?
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Now, you guys don't watch them, all right, we do
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: not watch them all the day the schedules release is
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: one of my favorite days of the year, and I
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: hate these movies, but there's something about the It's like
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: pulling for a bad baseball team. You know, at the
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: beginning of the baseball season, if you know your team's
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: gonna be bad, there's still this weird like hope in
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: the air, you know, where you're.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Like, maybe maybe if everything falls.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Into place, this is the year, And I think that's
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: the schedule release day is kind of that day for me.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: We have an actual marathon to start off the Christmas
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: season where we watch movies for twenty four straight hours
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: stream and the holiday season is a blur typically because
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: we are watching during that time of year. We do.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: We'll watch the first two movies on Monday and record
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: the episodes, and then we'll watch the next two movies
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: on Wednesday and record those episodes, and we'll release Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: and then we cover a Lifetime movie every week, a
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Netflix movie every week, and a movie from another network
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: typically every week. So it's crazy, it's crazy, but it's fun.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: We look forward to it all year. I do love Christmas,
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: even if I don't like these movies and so it
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: is a fun time, even if it does seem intermountable.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: It's the best. It's the best. I can't wait. I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: so excited.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, in addition to being our former homework hater,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Wendy's also a holiday hater, like it doesn't like Christmas.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: So for me, this is like my best time of
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the year across the board. So I'm all in. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: think we can all agree. The bar has been raised
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: on homemark in the past couple of years. I like
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the whole season, so I'm all in on that too.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Wendy. When you say you're a holiday hater, are you
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: a don't celebrate this until it's time or are you
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: just like screw Christmas and the horse that rode in on?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: A little of both?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Actually, Like you know, when Starbucks comes out with like
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: there are Christmas cups.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Like do I know it? This guy reminds me eight
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: hundred times before it's out.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: You know, I get on Twitter and bitch about it,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and you know, I just it's that kind of stuff.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: And then Christmas time, it's just like so many obligations,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: so many things to do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: It's just a lot for me. I'm sorry.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you just take that up with baby Jesus and
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: go from there. Yeah, that's you.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: You got to deal with infant Jesus during Christmas and
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: you don't want any part of that. I might be
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: like after Thanksgiving. I love Christmas, like from the day
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: after Thanksgiving the Christmas Like, I think it's fantastic. But
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: you know, when you're starting movies ten days before Halloween,
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: this is what was what we're doing now?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Like that is? You know, that's something. It's a different world.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Is there one movie in this lineup that you're actually
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: genuinely excited about looking forward to?
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, Christmas is the Biltmore. I Like, we got to
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: go up and hang out with Chris and Joy for
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: a day, which was fun. That was a blast. We
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: live close to lean from the Builtmore. You go up
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: every year on a field trip when you're a kid
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: when you live here, and you're bored to tears at
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: least I was. And then you go up now and
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: it's very very nice and beautiful. But I mean, this
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: is a movie that has Palaha and Bethany joy Lens,
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: which for my money, maybe the two best on the network.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Joy Lends definitely, I think she gets it, like she
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: gets the bit of what it means to be in
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: one of these movies. And I think she's great, Chris
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: is amazing, and it's so you get that it's time
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: travel movie. Yeah, and it's an old Hollywood movie yeah,
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: and so I think, And they put a lot more
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: money into it. It's two and a half times the
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: budget of a normal homemark movie. So a lot of
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: high hopes for Christmas.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: At the Billmore. It's hard for me to get past it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I'm just so excited about it. I I you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: the the there's so many this year. I'm always excited
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: to see that. Like the fact that the first week
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: ind Michael Rady's gonna be there's exciting. I love that guy.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I get more like excited about seeing the people that
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: we like. Sure, and then if the movie is a
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: fun one, and like last year, like Ghost of Christmas
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: was always was like a surprise one because we didn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: really really know the people. But like the plot's really good.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: So I love that there's a mix, like we have
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: the people that we love, but we're also getting some
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: weird and wacky plots this year as well. So all
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: forty final.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Answer, No, there's one called like the Christmas mural and
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I feel asleep just reading the title. They're not all winners.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: It's clear they're trying things like we we love for
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: them to take big swings. I think that's the thing
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Homework was scared to do for about a decade in
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: a lot of ways, not just with like who's represented
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: on the network, but also what kind of plots they have.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: And that's why that joke became such an easy joke
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: to tell, which is every Hamework movie is the same.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: You know, the big city girl goes to the small
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: town and her high school sweethearts chopping wood and blah
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: blah blah. Well this like now they're taking Like there's
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: a Santa Summit movie where all these fake Santas go
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: and drink beer down in New York and they find
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: a real Santa. Luke McFarlane's playing Santa's son. There's a
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: magic pin in one of these movies.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: There's a movie Mayist.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: He runs it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: He runs a plane a terrier. Yeah, wait a minute, Yeah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of these movies. But if it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: gonna be bad, like like take a big swing, Like,
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: let's let's see how bad we can make it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: You know, yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Are you ready to share your first impressions of I
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: need to read? Okay, all right, ready, I'm that the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day Parade. An eager Thanksgiving parade coordinator is shocked
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: when a wealthy consultant is hired to analyze its finances.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Faced with teaching him that the parade means so much
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: more to her than money, she finds herself falling for him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Don't dunt dum.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: And now are you ready to share your first impressions?
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Gentlemen, I'm ready. I'm ready to share it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That's here.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: I had never seen this one. It was before my time.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: I started getting into of these movies around twenty fifteen,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, and I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: I thought both the leaves were just dynamite. And we've
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: seen a lot of Autumn racer, She's never been better
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: than she was in this movie. Just so much fun.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: I loved her character and it just worked for me.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Is it a Christmas movie? No? No, but it's it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: good for Thanksgiving and there's not enough of those movies.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: It's not enough Thanksgiving movies. Really really liked it. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: would watch this one again in a heart beat, just
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: so much happy feels. I mean, I think the ending
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: to like the misunderstanding and the and the ending back
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: up with him and being like, no, I'm done, I'm
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: going and got that stuff. It got a little bit
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: murky there towards the end, but overall really solid, Really liked.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It, Dan.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I appreciate the fact ladies that you have put
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: this in your autumn fall season, right? Have you done that?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: So the fall throwback movies that we're watching are all
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Listener recommended movies.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And so it's funny because when I opened up the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: movie and it's like kind of out of Christmas Eve
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: yeah post, I was like, oh, but we're in fall,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: but I think it's I think.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: I was on a podcast called screen Drafts and they
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: did the drafting of the bet. We drafted the best
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Hallmark Christmas Movies of all time. And there was an
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: argument before we started recording of is this a Christmas movie?
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: And it was allowed to be played because it aired
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: during countdown to Christmas?
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: It's not a Christmas movie.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: This movie is directed by my favorite Hallmark director, Ron Oliver.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: He's he's great and he's been directing for them for
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: fifteen years, although isn't directing for them currently. This isn't fine.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: This is a fine movie. I don't particularly love it,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: and I don't particularly have a disdain for it. I
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: will say the two leads who we've seen a bunch,
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Resar and Kupo, have never been better, nor have they
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: looked better. They both are super attractive in this movie,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: and their chemistry makes up for how offended I was about,
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: you know, parades in Chicago and pizza and how it
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: was portrayed in this movie. I think that there's some.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Did you bring your list of research movies from hottest
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: to ugliest?
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I did not, nor did I bring my KOUPOA.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, I know you have those for every actor, for
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: every actor.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I judge the movie based upon attractiveness, and I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: we all that's the best way to do it. Of course, no,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: I like, well, we were talking like Antonio Coupo was
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: in a movie last week called Guiding Emily and all
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: of us. You're talking about how how did this dude
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: get hotter? Like he looked amazing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: He I'm like this guy.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: You put a beard on this guy, and all of
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: a sudden, it was like holy moly, and he in
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: this movie, I think he's more attractive, but that movie
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: he like somehow, And so I'm not like, I'm just saying, like,
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: in this movie, there's something about these two that, oh
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: my goodness, And so I think, you know, Ron Oliver
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: is always looking for excuses to put women in vintage
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: clothing always, and he does so often in this movie.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: So yeah, it's fine. I don't get the classic status
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: that it gets, but I wasn't as offended as I
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: am by a lot of these movies, So yeah, it's fine.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: So I famously hate movies where we start off in
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: one relationship and they end up in another and they're
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: like falling in love, still actively in that relationship. And
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: one of the things that it really bothers me is
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: when like the Hallmark family friendly crowd comes for us,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: why don't you care that they're actively cheating on this
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: person while they're like having an emotional affair. So that
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: preface being said, Antonio Coopo is making me turn my
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: back on everything I believe in relation movies that start
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: in one relationship it ends in another. He would make
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: you leave your husband, I mean no, But I rooted
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: for his relationship and I was not bothered by the
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: way I.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Want to leave him, but I get it, yeah, ask
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: him why someone would, But also I want to be fair.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: In this movie, she does temporarily break up with dude
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: before she gets yes, hot and heavy with Coopo. So
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: there is a little bit more of a distinction here
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: than like it was always you, where Tyler Hines is
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: just Tyler Hines and Aaron Craco should know better, right,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: that's not what's going on here. Like, she does break
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: up with him like halfway through the movie, agreed, so,
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: and then she gets back together with him, and that's
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: when it gets murky.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: I think, all right, what's your first impression one day?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Well for me, and we're gonna get into it a
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: little bit later. But the math ain't math in in
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: this movie. And I'm with foreshatowing. I'm with Dan on
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of points that you made here, like this
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: is okay. Yeah, that's what I gotta say.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: All right, let's hear some specific things we liked about
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: this movie. We talked in general, what what were some
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: moments that you liked.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: I think there's a the karaoke scene is really good
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: in this movie. It is a carry it's weird. It's
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: weird that the karaoke scene is in a karaoke bar
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: where they clearly the reaction, yeah, they're gonna we're gonna
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: have some pushback, which is fantastic, But this is a
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: karaoke bar where they just start playing a song and
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: first one to grab the mic wins, I guess is
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: how that works in this scene which I've never really
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: been to one of those, but it's it's my literal
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: nightmare now. But like the fact that they let Hamewark,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: just from twenty thirteen to twenty didn't let a Hallmark
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: leading lady give the singing performance that Autumn Reser gives
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: in this movie. Is it weird that she gets throw
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: up drunk off of one sip of champagne? Yes, yes,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: yes it is. But this this scene where she's singing
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: and like making him sing with her and doing this
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: back and forth and he looks uncomfortable like that is
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: a scene that you don't get to see in Hallmark
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: movies that often, and so I did like that scene.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: But there they just they're back and forth banters pretty solid.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Clearly we differ here on this though.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Not I loved the back and forth moment. Yes, the robot,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: it's the robot in that. Oh yeah, I was like,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I heart watch, but I agree. I love that they
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: just let her not be perfect in this moment. It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: very my best friend's wedding, Cameron Diaz singing like the
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: charm is in that she's terrible, So I mostly agree.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: I had secondhand embarrassment for her, a lot of that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: But I love the end when she was like putting
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the mic in his face and he hated it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I love that part.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, I love secondhand embarrassment. That scene worked for me.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: And I love karaoke. I love bad karaoke. That was
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: just a bingo a bingo bango for me. I love that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I just I Also, I just like parades in general.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I love a Thanksgiving Day parade. Maybe we should do
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: a podcast about it. But the end of this movie
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: works for like I love, I love a parade. The
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: fact that we were ending on a parade works. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Dad Comet is one of my bucket list items being
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: on the Macy's Things Giving Day Parade. Float like a float,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: float on the float. Yeah it is they have they
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: have in the past. We got to.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Judge our talents parade and announce it and live stream
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: it last year, and it was the best.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: It was one of my favorite things we've ever done.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: It was so much fun and we got to like
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: do be the judges, but also like we were live
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: streaming the whole thing and be like and next is
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: up is this? Oh blah blah blah. And we had
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: the best time with it. It was a lot of fun.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't look I apparently am very like New
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: York centric and like, what do you mean there's another
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day parade? Like are they making up this parade?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: It fully exists. This is a real.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a real. I looked it up the first
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: time I watched it too.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And and I also looked up they did originally
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: start airing it on television in two thousand and seven.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's made up? What two thousand and seven?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: But that's the truth to him.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look at that. Learning something every day about that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Where does it does it air on?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: WGN GN is correct?
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Good job, Thank you, everybody. I told you. I love parades.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: I know what channel every parade air zon.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: I haven't watched w g in since Sammy Sosi is
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: in the home Run Chase with uh god, who is it?
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: What was his name? Is it?
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: You?
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Thank you?
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: I got a films up from Brian off screen there
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: that was that's great?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He won?
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Did he went on the other guy? The guy hit seventy?
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I don't remember what in commons, just leave the name.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Who beat Sammy?
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: So somebody did?
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: Someone did, Wendy.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Would you like about this movie?
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: No, that's not it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I love the people are screaming, screaming at their phones
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: right now, sweating, guys. What did I like about this movie?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I liked that it felt old timey, but it like
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: took place in current day. Yeah, Like I don't Maybe
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: it's the way that like Ron Oliver shot it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I mean obviously the costume you mean, but something made
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: it like gave it like this vintage feel to me
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: where when I started it, I was like, what what
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: days is taking place in? I also think they might
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: be using like the same blow up turkey since the
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: start of the parade, Like that turkey looks real vintage.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Didn't I think I think that helps. I loved Baby
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: on a Riser in this movie, and I think they
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: leaned a little too hard, like into her being like
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: super rigid about the parade, especially because Henry got to
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: be like laid that cool guy, right, yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Classic.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Mostly I thought she was delightful, like just her joy
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: for the parade and the way she really leans into
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: the way she lives her life. And there's a cute
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: moment where she like slides across the room in her
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: desk chair. I always have liked Autumn Racer, but I
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: think she was super charming.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: She reminded me a lot of her character on the
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: OC show that I know you didn't watch, no, but
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: it's kind of I guess this is twenty twelve. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: don't remember when that show ended, but she was like
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: kind of uptight on that show too.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: Do you say that that Autumn Racer has been like
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: over the last decade that she's been in these movies,
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: I feel like she's just they've restrained her, like if
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: you know, she can give that performance and be that
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: out of the box and quirky and weird and different
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: and charming, and she's always charming in her movies, But
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: I feel like her movies since then have become more
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: and more restrained and in the box. And I don't
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: know why that is, but it happens with actors occasionally,
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: like even Polah, Like early in like early in Palawa's
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: days on the network, he's like doing accents and voices
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: and then they've just slowly made him just kind of
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: play the same role. And then he told me in
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: this new and he's doing a voice which is going
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: to be a lot of fun the Biltmore one. But
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: I feel like some of that was like what Hallmark
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: was doing during the time period, because I feel like
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: this is a different Autumn Racer than we get the
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: rest of it. And she's fine, but she's never like
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: this again.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost like Hallmark's like, look, we've got Ashley Williams.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: That's all the quirky hands off everyone else just like
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: get in.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: Your box, right, that's right.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I love Ashley Williams. That's not a knock.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: That's wonderful. She's wonderful. Yeah.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I also love the line really quickly when she's arguing
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: with the whale guy and she's mad that he's not
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: proposing and he says, you're being unreasonable and she says, no,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I'm being honest. And I thought that was a home
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: run moment for me.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Why because because she put wished back on his like,
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: she didn't just let him tell her how she was feeling,
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: which is kind of unusual for twenty twelve.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised. I think a lot of this movie stands
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: out actually as a twenty twelve Hallmark movie.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Got it?
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would agree.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: That's like I think it's a little racier. Oh my gosh,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I have a note about that. I have a note
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: about that. The assistant, the assistant, the assistant. Yeah, party
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: like leaning suggestively on the desk. I thought, WHOA keep
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: your cloth done?
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm apprude. I hated that. I'm like giveing my
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: twenty thirteen Hallmark. This is too much.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: If everyone could act like I think we ever shared
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: a room with someone, that'd be great.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right? Did we? Did we wish for things
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: as we were watching this movie? Would we wish for?
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Would we want?
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: I wish for an accurate depiction of Chicago pizza? This
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: is an abomination that we see on screen. Did Chicagoans
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: across the country should be mortified that this is the
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: pizza that someone chose to represent what Chicago Deep Dish
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: pizza looks like. I'm from South Carolina. I'm not from Chicago,
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: but I've been. They do tavern pizza, which is like
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: topping cheese on top toppings underneath thin crust, and they
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: do deep dish and they're both phenomenal. And this was neither.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: This was someone threw up in a pie crust and
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: it was not It was not not good. It wasn't pizza,
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: and it wasn't Chicago, and it just it was real bad.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: It was real bad, and I hated it for everyone involved.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that perspective because I don't know anything about
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Chicago style pizza except except one time. I'm dairy free,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: which is a super boring fact about me and it's
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: highly annoying to go out to dinner with me. But
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: we were at a Chicago style pizza place for a
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: party and I tried to order a pizza without cheese
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: and they refused to make it because it wouldn't taste right.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Wow, I was like, Chicago is aware that it's not
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: as good without the cheese. I don't think I'm doing
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: something here. Brand. What'd you wish for?
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I'm seeing COOPO in a Santa costume
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: made me wish for a Hallmark Hank's calendar, not in
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: a weird not a weird one. Not listen, keep your
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: clothes on, just in various garbs that work throughout the year.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: So like so Octo, firems, so like October. I like
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: basically all of the notes of autumn wardrobe, just like
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: all of it. And I think that would make me happy,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: just various, you know, Thanksgiving, maybe put Palaja like in
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: a turkey. I don't know. I'm just I'm spitballing. I'm
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: just I'm just spitballing. But that is something that I
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: thought of while I watched this, and now I'm sharing
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: it and wishing that I.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Didn't well, but I am in my mind, my brain
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: is turning, and I'm just saying I need multiple December
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: options because if we don't get John Brotherton in his
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: sexy Santa costume from last year's Lights Camera Christmas, I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: gonna riot.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: So yeah, that's actually that's God. Listen to me rave
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: about him last year. My gosh, stock in John, you
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: did you bought low? I thought, really low? Well, what great.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Wendy would you wish for?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: You mentioned this earlier. Emily's so uptight, and Henry is
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: warm and charming and Okay, we get it. Women are
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: terrible and men saved the day.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of course, so over it. Sorry, but in twenty twelve,
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: that was a new idea. No one had ever done
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: it before. Sorry.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I tried. I tried.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I tried to women had anybody?
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: I know?
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Stone Ages, good old days?
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Are you ready to talk? Did you see that? I
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: am all right. Let's hear from you guys first before
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I dominate this conversation.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Damn well, you know you go? Okay, it's so weird.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Did I get to do this before you? I never
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: get to do this before you. You know where a
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: great place to go in November in Chicago when you're
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: throwing up drunk is It's on the top of a
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: skyscraper outside Listen, you know, when you've had too much
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: to drink and your stomach is sick, go somewhere really high.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: It's a balmy where the no fimber in Chicago through
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: you like negative ten wind chill up there probably and
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: they sleep up there, like the same thing.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Isn't it cold California?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I'm like, isn't it cold in Chicago?
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: It's it's literally called the Windy City.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I don't I.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: Don't it's three days before parade, that your your stomach
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: is queasy from drinking. Let's take you to absurd heights
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: with freezing temperatures and let's just wait it out.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: That was That was tough. That was a tough one
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: for me.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: This guy's going to a well. The idea that any
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: place has four Michelin stars is one of the dumbest
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: things I've ever heard. And I have to assume that
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: that was in there on purpose, because that doesn't exist.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: But the only thing that was like a did you
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: see that? For me? Aside from that was Antonio he
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: uh autumn research character gets proposed to at this restaurant,
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: or doesn't get proposed to. She thinks she's being proposed to,
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: and then he doesn't propose, and she is like, how
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: dare you? I'm not going on this boat with you?
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: And she storms out. And when she storms out, who
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: is outside the restaurant? But Antonio Koupo in a limousine?
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Now is he stalking her? Probably probably stalking her. And
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: his excuse for being there is is, hey, I just
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: ordered me a little takeout.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: You know how when you order takeout and you're rich
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: enough to have a limousine. You ride with your limos
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: down to go get that takeout. You know how it
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: goes like, Hey, I know you're going to get that
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: take out for me, but I just want a limo ride.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Can use her? You could take me down the street.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: He's totally stalking her. And that was that was the
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: big one for me. Yeah, that's fair.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: I only had a couple that stuck out to me
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: one right away. And I think I've never owned a cat. Well,
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: I have when I was a kid, but I didn't
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: buy the food for the cat. That was my parents.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: I do have don so. I do have dogs though,
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: and anytime I'm like switching dog food for one reason
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: or another, it's a process like I gotta get I
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: gotta have some leftover of the old one, get the
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: new one, do like a seventy five fifty and then
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: eventually you switch them over. Can with cats? Can you
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: just go willy nilly from one food to the next
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: and you just can you do that? Just what buy what? Cats?
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Can't there there? I think they their constitution they can
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: just eat whatever.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: I think. So I think so either if you have cats,
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: can you attest to that cat? It just doesn't seem
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: you're right, say cat wants to make is a.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Cat with gastrointestinal distress.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Sure don't, Yeah, you sure don't. That's not what I
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: want at all. The only other thing I had was
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: just I think I cannot believe this whale guy's dating
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: on a rasearch. It was just such a hooopo over
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: there in lest millions of dollars, Yeah, in millions in
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Whales Star, like where's whale guy and then there's Koupo.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: I don't know if there's ever been a bigger biggers
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: between the love interests in a movie. Wild a wild
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: turn of events there.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not handsome and he's not nice.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Such a bosy and he's in the Whales. Whale Guy
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: he's a whale guy only takes video calls down by
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: the harbor, like this is where he takes a whale guy.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: That is what he is.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Wendy, Okay, I have a view. When

  Speaker 3: Okay. But also on that case, it says Rocky Road
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: in a big sign, and the ice cream she pulls

  Speaker 3: Same scene, she buys three party sized tubs of ice
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: cream and nine billion cans of cat food and leaves
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: with two grocery bags. Where is it all? She's like,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I'm like, it's not in there. I don't know why
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: it's heavy because there's nothing in those bags.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, no way, No, that was a big one.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Was cheesecake factory coming in hot with the product? Yes,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: but when's the cheesecake? They all reach in with their hair,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: their bare hands. Disgusting.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: And she also did she did spring forgetting them that
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: classic Chicago cheesecake from the local establishment, the cheesecake Factory,
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: which nothing shows off Chicago like the California based cheesecake facts.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Just grab it with your hands, get it, end of
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: your gango. Disgusting.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Look, Whenny and I have teenage children, do you want
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: to know what you don't want is a kiss cam
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: at a high school sports gaping of suspension? No, no, no.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: It was a different time.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Twenty twelve is a different touch. Men were saving women.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: It was crazy out there.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: People could sexually harass their classmates at any moment. Look,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: my husband watched this movie with us, and he's probably
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: a bigger Hallmark fan than any of us in this room,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: and is in the moment in the parade. When Antonio
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: and Autumn share their kiss, he pulls his beard down
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and my husband his gem from the movie. I'm gonna
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: bleep this, but is don't take your beard off during
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: the parade. Santa can not expose. I don't know, all
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: the children would see. He left the room, and as
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Antonio was like, I'm so in lovely with you, he shouts, no,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: you're not.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: I'll take that there man off. That's that is. It's
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: a big no no.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, here's my biggest problem with this entire movie. So
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Emily wears vintage clothing because it's to memorialize her mother's dad. Right, okay,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: but did her mom die in the fifties. I don't
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: understand how this is working. She researers like in her
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: maybe early forties okay, maybe third Okay, she.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Was probably born in the eighties.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Let's say in this movie, so would the mom be.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Like in mom jeans, like not in a pillbox hat.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. Yeah, And I went back to
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: rewatch that scene and they make no mention of like
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: my mom loved vintage clothes, just my dad gave all
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: her stuff away.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: So yeah, my brand had a great thought here and
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: it wasn't true, but the movie would have been better
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: if the Ali Liebert character, who we've not mentioned yet,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: and she's Ali Libert as a sidekick in these movies
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: is pure gold every time.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: What did you say? It would have had?
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: What vantage stuff?
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Yah? What? For no reason? What if Ali Libert is
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: actually a ghost and it's her mom? Oh like she seeings?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: I will say about one seventy five movies, I assume
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: someone's a ghost and very rarely does it work out,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: but occasionally it does.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Tell me, you've seen the Jen Lily Spirit of Christmas?
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, we reviewed it? Yeah? A true classic is something
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: that's a that's one of the best horror movies I've
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: I think seen.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Wendy's never seen it. I tell her that she needs
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: to add that to the top of her list.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, as I hate watch.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: It's it's just something real special. You just have to
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: watch it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: It's an experience, it's an event.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right?
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: What are we giving this movie out of five stars?
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I've not done this before? And is this out of
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: five stars like for a movie making quality? Would watch again?
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: Or is this relative to other Hallmark movies.
• 36:25

  Speaker 5: No, no, no no, Literally we know we're getting it.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: It's it's coming. It just does too well for them
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: not to keep going until we All the time they're like.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: Kevin, could you go hard in the accents?
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Ridiculous the bit though where Lazy calls them on it
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: is really the best thing the homework's ever done. Okay, Yeah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: digital snow or foae leaves.
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: I think when Digital Snow is done, ride it's better.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: You're gonna go with the leaves.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: No, I would agree with that. I would agree that
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: the you can't there. I've seen a lot of good,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: good fake snow, and snow always works for me more
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: than leaves.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Let's go mysteries Hannah s Winson or Curious Caterer.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Curious Caterer. What's Curious Caterer?
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: It's oh yeah, the new one. Yeah, yeah, Curious cater
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: for sure. Yeah. Yeah. We've not seen all the Hannis Winson's.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: We've only seen two of them. And I wasn't crazy
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: about either one.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Mystery one on one gone too soon or.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: It was time gone too soon.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: This is tough because the cliffhanger would make you lend,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: like lend itself to the fact that it has gone
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: too soon because they didn't answer that question. And on
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: that front, I agree, But I would say that no
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: mystery series did a better job of being a mystery
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: series than that movie. And they were in love before
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: that cliffhanger, So without the cliffhanger, I would say great
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: ending point.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I was really worried because you know, those mystery one
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: on one fans are crazy. They're gonna come for you.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: So that's a good answer.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all right.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: In a movie, cute kids are cute dogs.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: Cute dogs cute dogs, and here's why. And I have
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: seven year old boys that are the most adorable. They're
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: they're my pride and enjoy my treasure. But they don't
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: have to act. And the thing about kid actors is
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: you can't make fun of them, and you also can't
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: praise them unless you want to lie. And so I
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: like I I the dogs are. They're right. I'm here
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: for the man. The dogs are wonderful. Occasionally you'll get
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: a great kid actor. Is it does a good job.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: The kid whose baby Jack and Winn calls the heart
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: is fun. By and large, it's tougher for.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Me, Bye bye. By and large, I say dogs. But
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: a really great kid performance can steal the show, and
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: in a way that like dogs can't, even though dogs
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: do steal a lot of shows. Who went in a
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: good way?
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: A notorious kid hater, all the kids and all these movies. Sorry,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: in a movie Christmas tree lighting or cookie decorating Christmas
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: tree lighting. And finally, we're gonna put you on the spot.
