  Speaker 2: for Real, Hailey, Hailey b we'll talk about that in

  Speaker 2: a minute. Haley and her best friend Bree go on
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a reality dating show to publicize her fashion line, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: nothing goes as planned when friendship and careers are.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: On the line.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Starring Chloe Bridges, Scott Michael Foster, Corbin Blue, Tiana Tully,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and Karen Molina White. That's a big cast. They never
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: usually list out all those people. Okay, news and notes,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: News and notes, Okay, this was.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Filmed on location in Oahu. Now do you think they
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: were in o Wahu watching this? Like? Did it feel
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: like they were in Hawaii?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I mean the yeah, I guess why you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Don't say the time. But I was like, wait a minute,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: like where is this little deserted island? And then there
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was that final scene with the like the final show scene? Yeah? Yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, are they all lake it was so
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: bissy far and then they said like they filmed on
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the north shore, but then there were parts of it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, what where is there no waves? Anyway,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: there were moments I was like, where are they? I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: need all of the details about this little deserted island
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that they went to. Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I had read that they had filmed in Oahu and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: looked at several of their instagrams from o Wahu as well.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But I've never been to o Wahu and all I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: know of it is it's it's quite congested and city like,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Or is that in like Waikiki and Honolulu. The rest
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of the island is there's lots of the island that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is beautiful and much less city like.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: All right, so maybe they had, like some scouted deserted
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: location for sure, for sure, Yes, Yeah, but I thought,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I mean I didn't, I didn't not go that doesn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: look like Hawaii.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I thought it gave me all this Hawaii. It did
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: definitely have the Hawaii vibes there. I was just I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: have been to o Wahu many times. There is a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: portion of Wahoo that we really like, Cala, which is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: quiet and beautiful, and I didn't know where they were,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: which doesn't mean anything because I'm not an a Wahu expert.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: All right, did kind of make me want to go
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to Hawaii? I will tell you that. Let's talk a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: little bit about the stars of this, all right. So
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Scott Michael Foster, who plays Luke. The whole time I'm
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: watching this, I'm like, who is that? What is he in?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So I go digging through his IMDb. He's in quite
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a bit. But you know what my brain was holding
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on to was that he was cappy on Greek? Did
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you ever watch Greek? I tried.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I tried to revisit it actually earlier this summer, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't get it. It was like that early
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: two thousand timeframe. I just couldn't revisit it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I watched it when it was on in real time,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: every episode, and so I have deep cappy memories. So
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: if you were a Greek fan, you can get your
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: cappy fix on Love for real.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: What else has he been in?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what? Once upon a time he played Christoph.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I was just gonna I was going to
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: say that, but then you've talked about Greek, and I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, that's it's not where she was going.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So No, but he's been honestly, I didn't write down
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the rest. His IMDb page is deep. There is quite
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a bit that he has been in. Interesting. But what
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: else you got?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Chloe Bridges who plays Haley. I don't know much about her,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but she is engaged to Adam. Adam divine is how
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say his name. He's from pitch Perfect. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: don't remember. I don't remember his name on pitch Perfect Deeper. Okay,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: he's been in a lot of things, hasn't he? Or
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is he only known for pitch Perfect?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That's a good question, I know. Do you know what
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Corbin Blue is most well known for?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: No, And I was trying to place him when I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: was watching this yesterday, Hi School Musical. Oh my god,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that's what it is. That is what it is? Yep,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, that's so funny. I
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: was thinking he I might have seen him in like
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: another Hallmark movie, and I was confusing him with the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: actor who was in that Christmas Museum movie. I don't
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: even remember what it was.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I know who you're talking about.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, Like they kind of look alike but have similar faces.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Definitely was not him. Yeah, I couldn't play some high
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: school musical. Hmm.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: All right, then, all right, do you have anything else
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: for news and notes? No? I don't. All right, let's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: hop to first impressions. All right.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: My first impression is I kind of like this movie.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe, thank you Hallmark for this gift of a movie.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: This was the perfect welcome back to our Hallmark movie discussions.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It was so fun. I liked it right away. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: mean to tell that there was something a little bit
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: different about this. I really enjoyed it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I liked it too. It was nice, and maybe I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: just thought like I wasn't as burned out watching Hallmark
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: movies because we've had such a break. But I liked
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it too from from go, like you know, usually like
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I'll turn it on and I don't really pay attention
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to it, and then I go, oh, I gotta I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: gotta watch this, and then but no, it kept me
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: captivated the whole two hours.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, what specifically did we like about this movie?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Hold on you go?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: First? Well, I'm gonna start with the obvious. Loved the location.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I it's the perfect summer setting. I love a Hawaii
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: set movie. I thought the settings were beautiful. One of
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: my favorite things about this movie is that they made
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: almost no attempt to differentiate this fake dating show from
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor slash Bachelorette. I mean, it was a straight knockoff.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They didn't try and pretend it was something different. They
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: swapped roses for hearts, and that was really it. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I appreciated that, let's let's not try and pretend this
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: is something that's not.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it's so funny because yes, I agree that there
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: was like Bachelor Bachelorette, you know, vibes there, but there
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: also was like a little touch of a Love Island,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: which I know you don't watch, but I watch, and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that show like they'll bring in people like mid mid season,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you know, to like stir up the cast a little bit.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: So that's what I thought, or or or a Bachelor
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: in Paradise kind of does the same thing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You know, they'll bring people in, you know, to.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Shake things up.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So I really like that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But I also it really reminded me of a show
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that I really really really liked, and it was called Unreal.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And oh I love that show, right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Because you saw like behind the fourth wall of like
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the production side of things, and so you got a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: touch of that too. It wasn't just we weren't just
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: watching like a reality dating show. We saw like the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes stuff of it. So, yeah, that's what
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I liked all about. Those are the reasons why I
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: really like this movie.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had that same thought, especially when Luke was
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: feeding Marco lines through a head piece. I immediately thought
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of that show because the producers on that show do
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Producers, I'm not sure one of the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: staff on that show does the same thing to their leads.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I loved Marie, who's played by Karen Melina White. She's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the first a d I thought she had the best
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: lines in the movie. I thought she had incredible comedic timing.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: She was fun to watch. Loved her. She was my
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: favorite character in the whole movie.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I thought she was really funny too. And speaking of
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: comedic timing, I thought that the girl Chloe Bridges who
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: played Haley had some good comedic timing too. I really
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: liked her. Yes, I thought she was Quippi. I had
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: never seen her. I've never seen her in anything I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: don't know, and I like her. Like put her in
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: more homemark movies because I thought she was She actually
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: reminded me a lot of Anne Hathaway. Oh yes, but
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: like Anne Hathaway, The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway, you know
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Like she's got that Anne Hathway. Lim is rud or like.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Early devil worst problems, kind of like a mess, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: like not, I don't, I don't.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Know, it's hard to explain she's got. She's got a.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Julia Roberts mouth to me, like she's got like beautiful
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: full lips and like great teeth. And yeah, there was
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: just something about her voice though that really reminded me
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: of Anne Hathaway. But I really enjoyed her, and I
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: thought it was so funny because her character's name is Haley,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and if you watch any of these reality dating shows,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: there's always like two Haley's or two Lindsay's or whatever,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and they're always like it's Lindsay A and Lindsay B.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And she was Haley B. Yeah. I just thought that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: was so funny. Like I don't know if like the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: regular watcher would have like picked that up if they
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: don't watch, like, you know, reality dating shows on the regular,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: But that's right.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I felt like obviously this had someone in there right
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: room on their writing staff, who was a fan of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: these shows, like who obviously knew how they work. I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: loved them.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Right What else did you like?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: The last thing I liked? I just thought this was
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: really well paced. I thought it moved along really well.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I was never bored. I was never waiting for them
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to get to the next thing. And I think the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: reason this movie does that so well is because we're
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: not just focused on one couple. We have the two couples,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: plus we have the behind the scenes of the show.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: There's so much going on, but I didn't feel there
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: was too much going on. Sometimes they just throw a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: lot of unnecessary storylines in. They all worked really well together,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and so I thought the balance there was great and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it kept the movie moving perfectly.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I agree, And there was times throughout this movie that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I was more invested in the relationship of Marco and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Breathe than I was of Haley and Luke. But it
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: was a nice like balance between the two. Otherwise I
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: would have been super bored if it was just like
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Haley and Luke. And if really because the synopsis talks
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: about how she's there to like promote her dress line,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and yes, that was like a through line of the show,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't like the moving factor of the show,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you know, right right, So yeah, otherwise I would have
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: been like tapped out. And I will admit that while
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I was watching it, at the very very end, I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: grabbed my phone and then the next thing I knew the.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Movie was over.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: So I had to like rewind the last fifteen minutes
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: just to like see what happened. But other than that,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I was I liked it a lot.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I agree, what did you wish for?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I think the things that I wished for, And you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I get that they're going for like what you would
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: expect from other women on a reality TV show, as
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: kind of like that bitchy attitude towards each other, that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: competitive nature to win this guy. I mean, I guess
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: that's what you.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Would get with a reality show. So I just.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Wish that they didn't have that. Oh and the other
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: thing I wished for is that the which was so
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: confusing the host slash executive producer of the show. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: didn't know what her name was, the blonde. She was
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: so oh god, what was I gonna say? Like, I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: don't know. She just was this like villain ish like
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: sort of you know, it's just like, okay, whatever, I mean.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I know you gotta like create tension there with some characters,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: but I just was like, whatever, Like is that necessary?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But that's me. I hear what you're saying. And there's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: always a villain on these shows. But I feel like
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they cast every other woman other than Hailey and Bree
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: as rude and snide, and that maybe wasn't necessary. M Yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: all right. So the big part of the backstory is
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that Hailey is a designer. She wants to get noticed,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: so she goes on this show She's gonna show off
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: her dresses. Then, of course they find out plot twist
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: no more fancy dress nights, which give me a break.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But I did wish for better dresses, and I know
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: she's making them, like most of the dresses we see,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: she's like making them in the room, but also we
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: know she's not really making them, so we could use
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit of that movie magic to make the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: dressos a little bit better. I don't know. We only
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: get to see one of her ball gowns at the end,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: which I did think was a pretty dress. Ball gown
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is that the word? But I liked her wardrobe there
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: was a scene where she's wearing like really cute shorts
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and a T shirt and I was like, oh, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't wear that, but it was really cute.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're talking about because her T
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: shirt totally caught my eye and I was like, that
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: is such a cute little outfit. I would love to
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: wear that this summer.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, I thought she had good wardrobe. I was just like,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: show me the dresses. If she's gonna be a dress designer,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: let's like go all in on the wardrobe.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was annoying. It's because she's like, oh, yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I put this together in my room. She didn't have
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a sewing machine. But then later they talk about like, oh,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it's funny with some hymn tape and some whatever can do.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, really, you're trying to tell me that,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: like this dress she's wearing is put together with tape.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I doubt it, right right, right right.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It's like just dip out of that storyline if it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: not working overall. You know, Yeah, you could use the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: dress thing as like the motivator to be there, but
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: like it doesn't have to continue to play.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: A part, follow it all the way through right. Yeah,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: there was enough going on. Did you wish for anything else? No?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I kind of like, no, I was good.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was good too. You know, I didn't feel
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: like any of the couples had like firework chemistry. I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: mean not even Haley and Luke. You didn't think was
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I thought they had a good budding romance. They had
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: cute rapport. I thought that they had chemistry, and I'm
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: glad that they weren't like I love you, I love you.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: They're like, let's just see where this goes, which I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: appreciated because that's where I felt like they were like, oh,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna come to San Francisco and we can see
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: what happens. Was kind of the feeling I got at
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the end of that movie. And I liked that. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I thought Bri and Marco, especially from that first yoga scene,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: they set that up really well.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But it's blindfolded yoga really a thing. I don't know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: if you guys know, email us. I'm dying to know.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It was a fun premise, but I don't know. Maybe
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I actually do like that it wasn't like we're in love,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: because we always complain that they jumped straight from first
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: day to six days later, you're the love of my life.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I did like that.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I liked it too. I especially liked it at the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: end with Haley and Luke that they weren't like you're
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: my you know whatever. Really yeah, they're like, all right,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: let's just see where this is going to go and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: have a smooch. All right done?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great, cool, cool, cool, cool cool.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed Marco and Brie. I huh, I know
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you said like you didn't feel like there was fireworks
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: from anybody in particular, but I did feel chemistry between them,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and as Brie as like a side character who's kind
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: of like I not, well, she actually in this movie
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: was very crucial to the storyline. But you know, like
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: side characters you really don't care about so much. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: mean I always trashed the side character because I'm like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you're boring, I don't need you in the story. But
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed her and thought she was adorable. And
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the one scene where they went on that horseback riding
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: excursion and they both had hats on and they were
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: sitting out there, they just look so cute.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. I like that scene a lot. And
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: they were sitting afterwards talking.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was waiting for them to kiss, and I
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: was like, who's gonna take the hat off?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: But they don't, you know, Yeah, and then you got
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: hat hair.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I thought that was they just speaking of
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: like wardrobe and stuff. I just thought that was like,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: very cute. I love that whole scene.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I did too, like that, look there, all right, let's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hop two. Did you see that? I have a few Okay,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: There was several scenes where they were dressed up in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and they were shooting the show, so it was either
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: they were like at a party scene or they were
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: at like the elimination or whatever. And they have the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: blonde girl I can't remember her name, the other contestant,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and she's in heels, and then they have like Brion
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Haley and they're just wearing like these flat sandals. It's
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: just terrible. I was like, why did they put them
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: in these ugly, gross flat sandals that you would not
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: wear to like a party. I mean I would wear
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: them to a party, But I say, like, you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: on a TV show or whatever.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Well, and I think in the final scene Brie was
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: wearing flats, yeah, And I was like, oh, it's because
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they're on the grass. But I guess if not, everybody's
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: in flats, it doesn't really that this argument doesn't hold up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I know, I know.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So they arrive Marisa's anytime you're out of your villa,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: were recording you, And the first time they step out
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of their villa, they're immediately talking about all their plans
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: for how they're going to work this show to their benefit.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, ladies, we are smart women. Did we
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: already forget everything you were told ten minutes ago? And
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: then zoom in on the camera and of course roll
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: was caught.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Do you think that Why wouldn't they have made it
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the cameras inside the villa too, like only outside right
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: on the porch, that camera hidden in the light, you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Know, ad me, I don't know. Maybe they allow them
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit of privacy, or maybe it's just so that,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you know, to add some reality to them being able
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to have a conversation about these things. And then they
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: know they got to turn it off when they go outside.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But they did not turn it off. Gave it a lie,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: they sure did.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the preschool scribble.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: On the whole My gosh, are you telling me that
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: is Scott Michael Foster's writing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: The other ones are also like delicately written, there's somebody
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: there doing it, and then I see him grab the sharpie. Okay, fine,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: but like literally when they showed it, it looked like
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: a child had written, Hailey, it was so funny.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: That was really funny. Well, and the funniest thing is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: she doesn't notice it right away until she compares it
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to Breeze. I'm like, you don't, like, that's not the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: first thing you notice, Like, get a serial killer write
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: this totally? Yeah, that was so so funny. All right.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So when Haley has her secret rendezvous for the first
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: time with the mean blonde and she's like, draw a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: glass of wine in my face. Draw a glass of
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: wine in my face. How how is it possible that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: she completely misses her? She's standing one foot away from her, Like,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: where did it go? Because that chick didn't even look wet, right,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: not a splash on her arm, not a splash on
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: her dress. She was completely dry. I don't where did
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it go? She was like, you didn't commit, but no,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: there's no way she couldn't have gotten her even a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I enjoyed that, like that actress Haley. She took
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it in the next shot where that girl did throw
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the wood. Yes, I was like, all right, they went there.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I thought that was funny. Did you notice, like every
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: time there was two scenes Haley was walking on the beach,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and I honestly can't remember if she was lout with
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Luke on both both scenes, but anyway, her body walking
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: was super contorted, like her legs were going straight, but
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the whole upper body was like turned towards the other character.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It was bizarre.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Did you happen to notice it?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't notice. I did love her white bab think
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: walking on the beach with Marco.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I did notice that. But I noticed thatt white beathing
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: suit too. Yeah, very cute.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just weird, like I don't know, like.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It was just looked very uncomfortable. But
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it was like she was trying to look
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: engaged to the person who was next to her.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Try to walk on sand, you know, like nicely at whatever.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Anyway, just weird to me. Okay, So they have their
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: date on the island. Marie has to take them back
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: because Marco is stung by a jellyfish and They're like,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: we gotta wait for the swell to go out for
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: her to be able to come back. Y'all, glass out there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: There's not a single wave coming in. Where is this
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: swell that they are waiting out? Also, isn't a swell
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: A wave? I don't understand.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I know, were they trying to talk about the tide?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It was stilare. They talked about it twice.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: When she brings her over, they mention it. And then
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the reason they're stuck there for many many hours is
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: because they're waiting out this swell. I don't know. I
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: think we needed a better excuse why they had to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: be stuck on the island because I was looking around,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: like where's this well, y'all? Where is it?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're telling me that they couldn't like make
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the joke about peen on the jellyfish sting, Like right,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody knows that that's a remedy. So like
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: they were like, oh, we gotta get him, we gotta go.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And then when he's back at the hotel and they're
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: showing like that. Now, I've never been stung by a jellyfish,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: so I don't know what it looks like, but the
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: dude looked like he got bit by a shark. It
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: was like just it was like a nasty looking like
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: wound on his foot. Have you ever been stung by
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a jellyfish? No?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: But when we were in Hawaii several years ago, we
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: went on a snorkeling cruise and a woman in our
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: group was stung by a jellyfish and she had such
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a severe reaction to it they had to have the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: coastguard come pick her up off of our boat. Oh wow,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and everyone working on the boat. I was like, is
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it really that bad? And they were like, either she's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: having a your allergic reaction or she's an Academy Award
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: winning actress, because they were like, we that's typically not
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the reaction, like it hurts. They have stuff that they
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: do for it, but it was. It was intense. So
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I think, I don't know what a jellyfish thing usually
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: looks like, but I think they wanted something that you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: could see on camera.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I get I get it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I do know it hurts. And Luke's comment like, oh good,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: think it wasn't a box jellyfish? Yeah, because they're deadly,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Oh really good. They weren't stung by a fatal jellyfish thing. Yeah,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I think we're all grateful for that. Yes, I'm super
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: impressed that you knew that. I had no idea you
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: know how I knew? Did Google? No? No, TikTok? All right, right,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: TikTok for the wind? What else did you see?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I think that's it. I don't know. Okay, me too
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: more than that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's time to rate this movie.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Oh so we usually rate these movies out of four
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the stars. I am here to tell you that I
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: am not comparing this to anything because when we do that,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: that just you know, yeah, makes for bad movies. So
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I'm I really like this movie. It was a strong
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: one to set the tone on the second half of
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: what is it called Starry Nights? What's it called Summer Nights?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And I give it a three point two five stars.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's a three and a half for me, but both
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: my solid scores. This was a good I'm very grateful
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that the first one is not a day for the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: second round. Yeah, well, it made me want to watch more.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't a chore to watch.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So well, I will tell you that I saw a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: commercial for the next movie and there was a little
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: part of me that went, oh my gosh, is that
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Ryan Pavey, And oh my gosh, is that Jen Lily.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to watch that movie that is not
