• 0:44
  Speaker 1: synopsis of this movie. Hmm right, I'm gonna pull up
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: IMDb because they're gonna have a different one that I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: sure is going to be more satisfactory. Here we go.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: When Calli returns home, she finds her hometown has changed,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: her first love has a new girl, and her family's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: barbecue restaurant has hit hard times. She clashes with a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: marooned big shot director who might hold the key to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: saving the restaurant. What a different synopsis compared to the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: other one.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's hop into news and notes about Roadhouse roomman
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and I got a lot of them. Oh okay, why
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: don't you hop right in?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Well? Filmed in Vancouver, as we know, Naturally was supposed
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to take place in Tennessee. Yeah, I never said Nashville,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: but it did mention Franklin in the movie, which I've
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: been to actually as as my husband he wants to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: move there. It says cute town. It is cute town.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It's a really cute town.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Of course, it stars Tyler Hines. You know, we love
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Tyler Hines easily top three. He's my number one. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: think Hallmark guy, but we love him.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: His hair is still a seventh wonder of the world
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: for me. I really don't understand just I need to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: get up and close and personal with it and run
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: my fingers through it. I just need to see. It's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: got a lot of like Eddie Munster vibes to me,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: has a strong hairline, right. But Zim I was, I mean,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you should have saw me. I was trying to like
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: zoom in on the TV, like I'm trying. It looked
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like it was almost like powder filled. I think that's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: his hair.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's his hair because that's how it always
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: looks ID be a real commitment to that. I think
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that's his hair. But you know who powdered his hair
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: sprayed on his hair is John Cryer in Two and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a Half Men, he really sprayed his hair on.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh well, I mean whatever. I mean, I do
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that too, but I just think it's so unusual to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: me and looks real good at the same time, so
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He's stars alongside Laura and Elena, and we discussed this
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in previous episodes. But she is an American Idol alum.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: She was a run her up on Scotty McCreery's season.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I did not watch that season, but watching this movie, man,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I think she should have won.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: She's got a voice, She's got a great voice. That
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was the tenth season of Idol. She also competed on
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: season twenty eight of Dancing with the Stars. I watch
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that show. I don't remember.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I have not watched a season of Dancing with the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Stars ever. No, but not recently. Brian Austin Green is
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be on it. It's coming season.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's such a good season coming up. I'm definitely watching.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I can't recall if they have announced who the partners are,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like Who's Paired up With? I think that they might
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: actually do that. On the premiere episode of Who's Partnered
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: With whom. But Brian Austin Green is on it this
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: season and we all know him as David Silver from
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: nine Outoy. Now, well, his real life girlfriend is Sharna,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: who is one of the dancers from Dancing with the Stars,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And it would be who me to think that they
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: them are paired together, right, Yeah, because because of COVID protocols,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they are not like couples who are actual real life
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: let's say, like dancing couples. If they're married, they can't
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: be together for the six weeks that they compete. Oh wow, Yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so it's interesting that Sharna and Marian would be together. Anyway.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for the season because I'm such a nine
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to two and zero homer.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I know I've seen the lineup and I cannot think
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of a single other person, But I do know that
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I remember thinking it was a good lineup, and there's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: lots of actual dancers Jojo Siwah, yes of them who
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: will be dancing with the same sex partner, which.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Is very cool.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some blowback because they were like, uh
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Jojo Sewah of Dance Moms, Like, she's an actual she's a.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Dancer, dancer with dance training.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: The show is not an actual competition, it's a pr
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: event for.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: This Livia Jade. Yes, So I'm okay with Jojo Siwatt.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And just because she has dance ability doesn't necessarily mean
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: she's going to be a great ballroom dancer.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I agree because if you recall Erica Jane, people were
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: super excited when she was going to be on him because,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Pat the puss whatever nonsense, pretty mess she
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was in that. They thought she was a dancer, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: she is not a ballroom dancer.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So I loved this anecdote from Laura and Alena, who
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: really did this movie as kind of a tribute to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: her family. She says, when she goes home from the holidays,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: she visits her cousin and her aunt and they lay
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: in bed and watch Hallmark movies together, and she.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Was able to share this movie with them. I like
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it when these.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Actors have a personal connection to the Hallmark movie and they're.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Excited to be there. It's not like a they're not
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: lowering themselves to be in a Hallmark movie. They're excited,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you know, they're excited to be there. Right now. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: think I read it was her first Hallmark movie. Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: she was in another movie called road Less Traveled, But
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and I assumed that was a Hallmark movie. But then
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I had read that this was her first. Well, listen
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to this note. This is one that you probably are
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: not familiar with. But the actress who played Willa. Willa
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: was the aunt ye the brunette. She was played by
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Sarah Edmondson. Now I knew I recognized her when I watched,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, where do I know her face from?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Is she in another movie that I saw this year?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And I where? Can't place her? Can't place her? No,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I saw a ton of her somewhere. She was a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: major player in the documentary that blew open the MLM
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: cult Nexium.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I haven't seen that. There are two of them though,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: aren't there?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: There are two of them, but she is a front
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and center in one of them, and it's called the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Vow And that was the one that was on HBO. Oh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I might need to watch that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a reenactment that she is in or was
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: she in the cult?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: She was in the cult? Oh? And her husband both Oh,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I need to watch this now. Yeah, And it was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It's it's very in depth. It's how many did I owe? Nine?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Episode series. Yeah, it's it's a lot. So that's where
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I recognized her from. She is an interest an actress
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: who got involved in that Nexium cult anyway, yeah, who
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: is now out of it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Another fun note about Laura and Alena is that her
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: father was an Army veteran, so she plays a soldier.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: She's a lieutenant in the army, and so for her
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: it was this movie came out on the twentieth anniversary
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of nine to eleven. Her father was an Army vet
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And then she said, I called my dad the day
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I put the uniform on and he cried like a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: baby on FaceTime. And then she says, well, he cried
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and then he said fix your hat. So that's a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: quote from Southern Living dot com, which I like that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I like that tie in and I think that was fun.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: What was your first impression of this movie. I really
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: liked this movie. I thought this was a great kickoff couple.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You know, Look, I love Tyler Hines. I loved Laura Elena.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: She could not be cuter.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: She needs to be a Christmas headliner in my opinion.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I liked the fall vibes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And you know, my husband is finally watching now now
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that it's fall. He's watching with me, so it made
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the experience watching more fun. But man, this was a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: win for me.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I agree. I thought it was a solid start to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the Fall Harvest. Yeah, loved it. Well, I didn't. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: didn't love it ten out of ten. I liked it
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So what did you like about it? Okay,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: look at the notes here, man, I'm in full page here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed Lauren Elena as an actress. I liked
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: her laid back southern way. I thought it felt very
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: authentic and it was just a really nice, like juxtaposition
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: compared to you Luke's girlfriend Jillian, who was like this,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: like high strong Hollywood actress. Yeah, so yeah, I like that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I liked it a lot. I loved her. She honestly
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: could not be cutter. I I loved her relationship with
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: her mom and her aunt. That felt really real to me.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I liked how you know, her mom and her aunt
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: like antagonized each other a little bit, but there was
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of love there.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I liked the incorporation of the singing me too, and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes I fast forward through that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: But not like in a movie. Sometimes they're not this
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: movie not in this movie. But sometimes if they're singing
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: in a movie, I'm not really like, I don't really
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: want to. I'm not here for that. I watched all
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of it. I thought her voice was great. I loved
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the Alison Krause song at the end.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: You say it best my favorite songs ever? Yes, so,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and they did. They didn't drag the songs on too long.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like a time filler. It moved the story forward.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And she she can actually sing, although I don't think
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: she was actually.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Singing in all of those scenes, like it's pre recorded.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But I didn't watch that closely.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But I am glad that she got to sing. But
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like her singing was her only contribution to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I thought she was a great actress. I had read
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that she got to sing two of her own songs
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: in this movie. She didn't write them for the movie,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but she got to sing two of her own songs.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: She sings three times, she sings, she sings the Alison
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Krause song, and then the other two must be hers.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And there's one point where like the lady, the actress
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: who played her mom is like singing along, and I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: was like, that's real cute. Like I didn't know at
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that point that that that was one of Laura and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Elena's songs. But did that lady like learn the song
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: or know of the song already well? And they probably
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: had to play it several times to get the take
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and true, I think it was the run song. It
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: was called Run. Maybe I think it was the first
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: one she sang. Yeah, maybe she learned it ahead of time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But it was funny. I was like, here she is
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: behind the bar, now come on up and sing, and like,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I like that. I loved the music and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the singing. I loved the Fall festival vibes of everything.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I have been saying it for weeks that I was like,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I need a Fall festival in my own neighborhood. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: would love totally like a barbecue place and have like
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the stuff you get in Nashville anyways,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Like you go out to eat and there's musicians playing there.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You know, why can't I have that here in Orange County?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I would like it too. I would like it too.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I spy some diversity. Well, they were side players. Joe
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the boyfriend, yeah, Jillian the girlfriend and the car guy
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the mechanic. Uh huh. I don't know his name, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this is a fine line. I'm gonna walk here. Yeah,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm trying to say it in the most appropriate words.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Laurena Lena did not fit this stereotypical Hallmark attress mold.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I agree, and I loved it. Me too, me too.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, there is someone who looks like me,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm here for it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We've talked about this before that Hallmark has been
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: taking the babiest of baby steps into diversity in their movies,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: but we've also talked about how diversity doesn't just come
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: in skin color, Like, yes, we want actresses and actors
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: of color in these movies, but there's body diversity, there's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: lifestyle diversity, and so yes, again, I feel like this
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: is all real baby steps into body diversity. But I
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: liked it honestly, Like I love her. She could not
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: have been cute or this entire movie. I was like,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I so enjoy watching her in this movie.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Me too. Every time, like every scene she was in
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: she was just like smiling, and I was like, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: feel like she like loves what she's doing right now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like she's felt so enjoying it. Yeah, Yes, totally. I agree, totally.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I really liked the story in terms that Hallie was
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: returning from deployment. It was such a nice change from
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: like a man coming home, you know, and like, I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever seen it in a Hallmark movie,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: like where a woman comes home from deployment. Yeah, And
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I just really enjoyed that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: And I liked how they very lightly touched upon how
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: life goes on when you're gone and how jarring it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: can be to come back, right and you haven't been
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a part of it. You knew what was going on,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: but to come back and kind of assimilate into life.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: It's obviously tougher than a lost barbecue sauce recipe for
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: real soldiers.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But I did get.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: That feeling when she's talking to her mom in her room,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: She's like, I know I was gone, but the reality
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: that I was gone and that two years have passed
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: is just hitting me. We have a neighbor who's currently
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: deployed and granted not for two years, but you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I think about that, what it must be like to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: leave and sacrifice so much of your life and to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: then come back, How hard that must.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Be, right right, Here's another thing I really liked. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: liked that Callie and Luke were strangers. They didn't have
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: any kind of weird backstory, they didn't date in a
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: previous life, like two strangers meeting for the very first time,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and we were watching their relationship unfold. Yeah, that's what
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I liked about this movie. H And I also really
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: loved the dialogue. Whoever wrote this movie had some really
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: funny wit about them. I feel like Tyler.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Hynes's movies get those because he can handle it, like
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: he's got that like real easy comedy, not like slapstick.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: He can just deliver a line in a way that
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I find entertaining. And I thought she was great too,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: me too, Like her banter was great. She was believable.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I believed her as Callie. Absolutely agree.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Agree? Are you ready for? What did you wish for? Yes?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I am. May I start with an email.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Sure, we have an email from Michelle who says I
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: love watching anything with Tyler Hines, but please, Hallmark, you've
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: got to do better than cheesy, high school level green screens.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: It was painful to watch the car scenes.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, I have that in my digit
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: see that moment.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this was filmed in the spring, so obviously we
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: don't have fall foliage outside the window. So my question
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: is in the spring, these places still would have been green,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: because they do a couple shots of them just the car,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: like a quick and they're outside and it's beautiful and green,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: but you don't get the changing of the leaves. Would
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you have preferred real shots of them driving through green
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: areas that don't have the changing of the leaves or
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: this attempt to stay true to the actual season with
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the green screen colors.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I don't need to be hit over the head with
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: fall foliage, yeah, because it's distracting. Right when they were driving,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that's all I saw. The same was like a blur
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of red and orange. I have no idea what they
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: talked about in the car. I remember the terrible production
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: whenever they drove was awful.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And even when they walk down to that grove
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of trees, that's a green screen.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: The absolute terrible fall foliage.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Am I saying that foliage? You and my husband both
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: say foliage foliage? After Luke and Kelly stop.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It was awful. And there's when they do the up
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: close shot.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: You can tell is that my husband's like they put
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: like one little orange tree in the background and the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: rest of it like it was, it was rough stuff there.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That was bad. That was bad. So thank you Michelle
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: for Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I think those driving scenes really could have done without it,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: because they do a good job. The town is decked out,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the bar is decked out, the mechanic shop is decked out.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I think we could have just it would have been okay, yeah, right,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: What did you wish for a slightly quicker pace to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the story? I thought it unfolded a little too slowly
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: for me. At first it was about like the barbecue sauce,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and then it was about like the car breaking down
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: or there whatever, and then about the recipe, and then
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: about Tucker's possibly going out of business. So it was like, yeah,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: where are we going with this?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I don't find that the premise for Luke to stay
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: in town holds up because his car won't start, his
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: car needs a part. This is not like with Jingle
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Bell Bride, where they're stuck someplace and they can't fly
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: out because at one point Jill drives there, so if
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: she can drive to him, he can.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Drive to her.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: There are no Rendel cars in Tennessee. There are no Ubers. Uh.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: He didn't need to stay because she makes the point like,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: why didn't you just ship the car to California? These
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: are or people, you know, he goes to his beautiful
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: home with a pool. He clearly has the means to
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: make these things happen, so he didn't need to be
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: stuck in town. Could we have manufactured a better reason? Yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: for them to stay in town. I'm sure they could have,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: like we're researching a show. Yeah, that would have been better, right, Yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: because why do you and your agent both need to
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: stick around waiting for this car to get fixed?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't. Totally totally. I hated Joe the ex
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: boyfriend me too. I was like, you're a prick. But
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that's by design, I know, because I yeah, because I understand.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, you're so douchey, like this
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: douchey doctor, Like you're such a jerk. I hated him.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: And we've seen movies where they have had exes get
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: back together and realize they're not right for each other
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: and they don't have to be douchey. But even when
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: they're realizing that it's not going well, and he's still
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: trying to and Cali against Luke Luke's making fun of us.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like him either. I did not like
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: him either. I have read some reviews. Okay, there it's
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: polar opposites. People say, Tyler Hines and Laurena A Layne
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I had tons of chemistry, and then on the other end,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: people say, terrible chemistry. What do you think I do
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: wish there was more chemistry. Well that's something. I thought
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: they had great chemistry. I thought they had great banter.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And at one point I thought, are they gonna is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: this gonna? Are they gonna end up just friends? Like? Oh?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I thought they have such a They had a flirtation
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that you would see like in the workplace between two coworkers.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But do you think that's because she was you know,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: he was in a relationship up until the last scene.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Well that's what I have down here. I wanted to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: ask you what did you think about that, that he
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: had this girlfriend? How do you feel about that kind
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: of narrative of like he's connected with somebody, but then
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: here comes this other hot piece like what a you know?
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Is that problematic?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: So I am always against the like any sort of
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: even implied infidelity.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Do I think he would actually unfaithful.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: No, do I think you should maybe feel bad for
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: obviously he clearly had feelings for Calli while he was
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: with Jillian. Yeah, I think that's complicated. So the answer is,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I do think it's problematic.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I do think it's now.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I didn't like Jillian. I wasn't rooting for her. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: knew from the very beginning they were not going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: end up together and they wanted different things. But I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: don't love when one relationship develops, will another relationship.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Is still active. Well, to me, he didn't even seem
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that into Jillian either. Yeah, Like he was like, here,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I bought you a brand new retro car. Cool car,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: but I don't really like you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and even like her first comment to him about
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the car is like, why didn't you ship it? And
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: you can already tell like he's annoyed. They don't want
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the same things, they don't live the same way. You know,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: she wants him to do this Island Girl movie and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: he thinks it's terrible, et cetera, et cetera. Right, all right,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: what else did you wish for?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: That's all I wished for time for. Did you see that?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Did you see Tyler Hines aggressively white earbuds.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't even notice that these weren't earbuds.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Twice and they're telling me dude doesn't have a set
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of AirPods on set because.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: They're like, have a real thick white cord. They're very generic.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: They were distracting. I didn't even notice that happens twice. Now,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: did you happen to notice his glasses always hanging on
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: his shirt, Never on his face, never noticed, always on
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: his shirt, Like you know, he's like the director producer
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: guy who's always gotta take his glasses out to read
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a script or something. Always hanging on his shirt. That's funny.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: At one point, uh, when he has the car accident
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: with Cali, she's like, you came flying in here. And
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: then later on I believe it's the boyfriend who says like, oh,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: you're the one who hit Cali, and he says hit
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: flying A lot of adjectives flying around here. Those are verbs, jackass.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Where is the continuity person on this production team?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Writers? Those are verbs? There wouldn't there be somebody to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: check that? I mean, that's hilarious. Okay. There was one
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: scene where the dog who was so cute and named
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: George Jones, which George Jones, but like I think the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: dog pooped or something, and he brought in like a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: bag of poop and gives it to Calie across the bar.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: He's like, here, I have a gift from your dog.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And she's like thanks, and they're like talking and she's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: like holding it on the bar right, and then he's like,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: can I have a cup of coffee? She's like sure,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and then she goes and makes a cup of coffee,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: like doesn't wash her hands. I was like, gross, gross.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Gross, uh No, dog's in the restaurant kitchen, please, and he.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Like jumps up and puts his paws on the stove.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: That's very dangerous. That's gross. Yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: When Dan and Willa go on a hike, Dan wears
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: jeans and a tucked in shirt.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what I would wear. So uncomfortable.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I mean they did set the scene that he's not
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: a hiker, so obviously he did not come with his joggers.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: They were passing through, man, they were passing through. Yeah,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and the Dan and Willa like side story was not needed. No,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: but I liked Dan. No. I thought he was Stan
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: or Dan, I wrote Dan okay I liked him. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: thought he was funny. I just they don't need that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: random off topic side story of opening whatever. Like, I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: don't know what did they talk about. Did they open
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a bakery? What they were talking about opening some beacon?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that at all. I just liked their relationship.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that at all.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: That's funny.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: When Jillian is getting her surprise, she hands her phone
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: to Luke and she's like, shoot from above, and then
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: he's like three steps below and shooting up her.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, way to take direction, Luke. Also, did
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you notice that Jillian's movie was Fall Harvest? I did.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I thought that was so funny because it was on
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: her truck or whatever. Yeah, car ride. Yeah. I thought
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that was kind of like a wink and a nod.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I also was like, is she starring in
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: one of the other Fall Harvests?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Oh? Wait, didn't that be hilarious? I looked, But she's not.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: But oh bummer, yeah, bomber, that's oh my last did
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: you see? That is really just an issue with the movie,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and that is that a shoebox is a terrible place
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: to leave the one and only copy of your famous
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: barbecue sauce recipe.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Well that's where she'd find it, though, But how did he.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Know she was going to go back to her shoe
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: box of memories from her old boyfriend. I don't know
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: that could have laid dormant for years, for I would
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: have thrown that crap out eventually.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That was It was weird. There was a part where
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, this is store bought barbecue sauce. But
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: then on the table they were putting bottled Tucker sauce,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and I was like super confused, Like they still have
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: bottles of the Tucker sauce, but when if you order
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a meal, oh, that's not the sauce you're getting. I mean,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: these are minutia details. That is minutia the right word.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I think you mean mi newt details. That's it. These
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: are stupid details that I noticed. But I just thought
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the barbecue sauce storyline was weird. I hear you, all right.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Also, I don't believe you that in a restaurant nobody
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: ever knew the recipe. Give me a break, Grandpa made
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: this recipe for every Nope, no, all right, what would
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: you rate this movie?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I gave it three stars. I gave it three stars. Also,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was bad. I actually had started
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: it and kind of like got sucked into my phone
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and then I was like, wait a minute, I kind
• 26:50

• 26:53
