  Speaker 1: Story short the podcast. I'm Megan, I'm Wendy, and today's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: episode is our thoughts on Curious cater Dying for Chocolate
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from Hallmarks Movies and Mysteries Channel, part of their Spring
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Fling lineup. No, that was last year, Springing to Love,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Springing to Love. Yeah, do you think again, we've had
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: there trying to get viewers over on movies and mysteries,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and that's why they put it Andrew Walker movie over there. Well,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, yes. However, these mysteries movies are often turned
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: into series, like there's the Aurora ty Guarden Mysteries, Yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: starring CCB. So it's not unusual for them to get
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: big names over there. Sure. I mean it is different
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: than the Tyler Hines movie from last week, like that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was obviously not any sort of mystery type movie. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that was like a legit, regular Hamewark Channel movie that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they put over there. But that happens, you know, during
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the holidays, we get regular Christmas movies on movies and mysteries.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So it's movies and the mystery. Yes, I get it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I was just asking. Yeah, yeah, I hear. Yeah, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: don't know their motivation, all right. Before we move on, now,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we gotta tell the listeners that we have an awesome
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: new Hallmark only Facebook group. Yeah, tell them it's popping
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: over there. We've got a nice little handful of people
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: who know their stuff about Hallmark movies. Yeah, and they
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: tell us what's what? Man? Yeah, I'm here for it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's cool. You could search girls Gone, Hallmark and Facebook.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We're a private group. You have to request to be
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in it, but we'll let you We'll let you in. Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it's fun. Agree, we would love to have you join
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: us over there. Let's start off with a synops of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: curious caterer. All right, a single mom who's thrust into
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the role of town sleuth to help solve a friend's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: mystery death stars Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker. Is she
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: thrust into the role of town sleuth or does she
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: jump in face? Seriously? Seriously, I gotta say, like, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: enjoy Nikki Deloche. Oh, she's new to me, like, I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: don't think. I watched a new movie from her last year.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It was where she used to ride horses. I can't remember.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I know your Criding Lights was in it. Loved her
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: jacket yeah, yes, yes, and her sister worked in the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: barn yep at a desk. Anyway, I liked her, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: like her, I like her. Yeah. Twenty twenty countdown to Christmas.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: She was in a movie called a Granbay Christmas that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I liked very much. So I like Nikki DeLoach. Also,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I love Andrew Walker, and I do love
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and he's like a like a top one two for me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: God is so easy to look at and I don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like the scruff and I just want to be like
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: touch his face. God is so hot. So, speaking of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Andrew Walker, he hopes this will turn into a series.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And do you know why I think that could happen.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Why because two reasons. One, Hallmark is a known for
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: turning their mysteries into series. We've got, as mentioned, the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Aurora t Garden Mysteries. I absolutely cannot access the names.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like the dude from Desperate Housewives has a series,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Jesse something or other. We have Crossword Mysteries, which stars
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Lacey Shavert like regularly or that has that ended? I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: think it has ended. Martha's Vineyard Mystery I Mysteries I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: believe is the Jesse Metcalf mystery name. There's also Hannah
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: s Wentson Mysteries starring Alex Sweet. What I'm saying is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Hallmark likes a mystery series and this lends itself to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that because this movie is based on the Culinary Mystery,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: which is seventeen books written by Diane Mount Davidson. So
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they could go next to Serial Killer with like C
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: A R E A. Indeed, I'm spelling it wrong. Well
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: cereal like fruit loops guys, Yeah, precisely. This is Andrew
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Walker's fourth movie with Nikki Delouch. Really. Yeah, they've got
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: great chemistry together. Wow. Yeah, I think so too. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: think so too. Okay. Obviously filmed in the British Columbia area,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: including Vancouver. And I read that Andrew Walker said he
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: studied detective shows like True Detective from HBO and Mayor
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of Eastown, Mayor of Easttown. Yeah. Do I love so
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: much that he included Mayor of east Town because that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: means he's studying like the Kate Winslet Detective. Yeah makes
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: me happy. Yeah. I thought he had some real tectivy
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like vibes totally like very short, kind of grumpy, little superior.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah it I thought you played it well. One hundred
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: percent agree. I thought you played it well. This movie
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: also features Lachlin Monroe. He plays Richard Corman Goldi's ex husband,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And if he looks familiar to you, that's because he
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: has two hundred fifty five IMDb acting credits. That is
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the most I've ever seen in my tenure as a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: girl's Got Homework reviewer. To me, a lot is in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the hundreds, so he has been in a number of things.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: You might recognize him from Riverdale. I recognized him from
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Date my Dad. Indeed, he was in Date my Dad
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: as well. That was a real deep cut. I'm impressed
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: because he's only in the pilot of that show. Really.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Oh that's crazy, Megan and I A little backstory here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: We used to do a Facebook live on Friday nights
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: prior to the premiere Update my Dad, which was on
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: up TV. Yeah, up TV, And I need to interject
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and say that we were contracted to do that by
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: up TV or just like popping on and letting you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: know our thoughts on this show that didn't last very long, No,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: only one season. It was it was all right, It
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was a fun experience. Yes, sure, it's great. Anyway, it's funny.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of Date my Dad actors and actresses show
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: up in all these Homewark movies. That is where our
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: love of Matti Finocchio began. M m and are just
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: like a Cindy Busby. Sorry Cindy. That's all I have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: other than wrapped filming on my birthday March fifth.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Look, at that March fifth was nearly a month ago. Yeah, quick, quick, quick,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: wow crazy edit edit edit, Okay, what was your first
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: impression of Curious Caterer? All that flirting for a pat
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: on the shoulder at the end. I have something to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: say about that too. Later I got to see I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: was like, this is how it ends. Like I thought
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they were gonna smooch in that. I was expecting a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: smooch like I've never watched like a Hallmark movies and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: mystery movie. Huh. And I was like this is My
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: mind was blowing, like this does not follow the same
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: cookie cutter recipe. Yeah. I actually rewound the end thinking
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: did I miss it? Because she watches him walk away,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden I look down and I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: met an hour fifty nine and I realized this is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: actually the end. Yeah. My first impression is this was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: really fun. More mysteries, please, I got it. Agree. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I kind of like this. Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: so what did you like about this movie? This is
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a good segue. I gotta say, like, I really liked
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the story. Mostly. It was definitely different than any weather
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: movie that we watch on the Hamewark Chant, Like in
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: terms of like being a mystery, yeah, because we haven't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: delved into the mysteries, right yeah. And I thought like
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it skewed more Lifetime, but it was a little less
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: gritty than Lifetime. Huh agree. I was into it. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: thought this was really funny in a campy, silly way.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It did not take itself too seriously. The writing was fun.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I thought Nikki Dilouch and Andrew Walker played really well
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: on each other, and you know, just the way she
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: kind of gets in the way a little bit. It
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: gave me enough mystery that I kept wondering, like who
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: done it? Like I couldn't figure it out, Like I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: didn't know. I kept suspecting it was like the her friend,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the yes, dark haired I don't even know what the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: girl's name was, but she was always in the kitchen,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: uh huh. Yeah. And then they find out that they
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: poisoned the shortbread and she was sitting there with the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: short bread all alone, m all alone. I thought the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: food shots looked really good, and I was like, is
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this a Giata Dala Renis joint here? You know what
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like, because she did the Love of More
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: last week, right yeah, I can whatever her production company
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: did that movie, and I thought the food looked really
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: great in that movie. I thought the food looked really
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: good in this movie too. She was like pattering the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: benets and the doing the chocolate, and I have something
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to say about the chocolate later, but I thought most
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the food at that banquet looked fantastic. Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: all right. Finally, I couldn't believe that doctor Gentle pulled
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: out a gun. I was like, I was like, oh,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: like seriously gassed while I was watching it, because I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: did not expect that from a Hallmark movie. Well, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I loved how they opened with the penultimate scene of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: her running through the woods, and then they flashed back
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: for days and then we get back to that scene.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It's just so different. You are used to watching the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: love story Hallmark movie. Yeah, it's such a welcome change. Well,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: so that's what I thought I was watching, was a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: love story Hallmark movie, Yeah, but set to a mystery.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't. No, And so there are going to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: be people who are listening to this, who are yelling
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: at us, that are going to be telling us that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this is what the mysteries are like. I have never
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: watched them. I think I've seen one Aurora t. Guarden
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: mystery because my daughter really likes CCP. But this was
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the entire format was new to me, and so not
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: only was it novel, but it featured actors that I loved,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and it was such a nice break from the formula. Now.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I asked in our Hallmark group if people were rooting
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: for his name Tim or Tom his name's Tom, Detective
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Tom and Goldie, if they were rooting for them to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: like get together at the end. Yeah, And some of
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the responses, this was one of them from Gene. She
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: says it's too soon for romance if this is gonna
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: be a series. Excellent point. And Rina said that they
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: have good chemistry as always, Bet she wanted more conflict
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: between them, So maybe if this series moves forward, we'll
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: see a little bit of conflict in number two. Yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I agree. We can't get straight to if we're gonna
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: have ten movies, I gotta have some tension. Yeah, you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: gotta build up to it, right. Yeah. They did a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: nice job of laying the backstory we know about both
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of their exes. How funny was that scene when he's like,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I used to be married to Sow and Stone she's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: like so and so. I thought it was very funny
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: writing agree. There's a tweet about that line. Her name's Jessemine,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: by the way, that's women get married, and the tweet
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: shows Andrew Walker and Nikki DeLoach when he's revealing that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: moment to her and she's kind of given him the side,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and the tweet says, when you I want to tell
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: him he married a girl that eight paced called the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: teacher mommy and cried to naptime because she was scared
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: of the dark. But no, you'll hold on to that
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: one for a little while. That's who wrote it. His
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: name is Stevie Coolest. Okay, cool cool Coolest. Okay. Let's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: talk about what we wished for. I don't have many
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: wished for, no comments, mostly a question in this one,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and it is, would a detective really let some non
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: police person like get so involved in this case? And
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: he gave her so much insider information? Yes, and he
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: didn't know enough that she wasn't involved, right, you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a true detective brought her on the inside. I mean,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: she could just be a total sociopath, total really good
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: at deflecting information, especially if she knows what you know, right,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, hello, the cookies were in the car.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: You made the cookies. Maybe you're a suspect lady. Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: She's like, I didn't do that. He goes, I know, right,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I trust you, Okay, you know. Really the only thing
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I wished for, and we've talked about it multiple times
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: already this episode, but I missed the romance. And I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: honestly can't believe I'm saying this because we've said many
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: times in other movies it doesn't always need to end
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: with the happy ending kiss. We're in a romantic relationship,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and this time I really wanted it to. Yeah, but
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I think like him walking away, I mean she did
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: kind of like I think he patted her on the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: shoulder and she like grabbed his hand and then he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: walked away, and they show that shot of her like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you know, so, I mean, I think it definitely leaves
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the door open, and I think they have an almost
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: kiss earlier in the movie. I don't recall. They definitely
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: have some tension, some flirtatious moments. But I missed it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I felt I was left one. She did, I guess recheated.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get on to did you see that? Hey,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: what the house is back. I told you, I told
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you Adele's house. We usually see it as hotel space,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: uh huh, but it was also a house in previous
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: movies we've seen. I don't remember it being a house.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I always remember it being hotel space. It was a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: house in one of the Christmas movies. Oh okay, I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: am certain of it, but I think it was a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: community center at one point. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful on the outside the interior shots. There's no
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: way that's the actual interior of that house because it
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: looks completely different from everything else we've seen masquerading as
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the interior of that house. So I wonder if that's like,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: is that just like a whose house is that? I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm so curious. But it was like, oh,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: look there's that house we know. I thought this was
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: really funny and I laughed out loud in the scene
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: when gold he tackles doctor Gentle at the end, Yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and she says to Tom, She's like, I was closer.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I thought it was so funny. But when she tackled him,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I thought I was like, why would she do that?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: She is with a like trained police, Why do you
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: tell you, Now, why didn't he act sooner, like you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: know before this, Like where's his gun? That was my
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: next question. He never had a gun. I didn't see one.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand. It wasn't real dark on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: ice cream. But yeah, I never saw he never like
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: pulled one out. There was no like duel like he
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: was never like you're a policy ready, Are you telling
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: me that a police officer in the middle of an
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: active murder investigation is not armed at an event where
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: all of the suspects are going to be They're armed
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: all the time. Every police officer I know is always armed.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And I don't like that, but yeah, they're always armed.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: When she they were in the like woods or whatever,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: like when he was when doctor Gentle was like making
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Goldie go out in the words and she's like, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: have to take my shoe off. I thought she was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: going to turn around and whack him with her heel
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: me too. I was like, that's a good idea, but
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: then she just like elbowed him and then tell me.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, get them with that heel in the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: floorhead knocking out right. A tweet from one Kiss means Forever,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: says man, This movie has more suspicious looking characters in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: a train on the Orient Express. I agree. I was like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: is it the step son? Is it the husband of Adele?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Was it Adele? Was it? Well? And here's what I like.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's so many unresolved storylines going forward
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that in a series we still can get more of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: what's happening with Adele and her husband, who I think
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is an alcoholic. What let's talk about that scene for
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a second when they're at the charity lunch and early
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in the movie, was he drunk? Is that why she
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: had to escort him out of there? She goes, it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: eleven thirty in the morning or something. Uh huh. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: thought so. But then they never really seemed to revisit
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that storyline, except for the fact that they are building
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: essentially a treatment center for addiction. Oh uh huh. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I never saw them revisit it in terms of Archie's addiction. Yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it was Archie an investor, I don't remember. And I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: also felt like we had an unresolved storyline of Adele's
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: ex husband and her son's father's mysterious death. Yes, so
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: what happened there?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It's it leaves the door open for a great some
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: more storytelling. Here's one funny thing. I can't remember his name,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: but it was the teacher. Oh yes, and they're coming
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to the teacher to ask him to be an investor
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in this wellness center, like he comes from money or something.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was weird first, like they're like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, let's ask the teacher to be an investor
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: this wellness center. I was like, do they ask him?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the teacher who's played by Antonio Cayone, who
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: will be familiar because he was in a couple of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the Evergreen movies, most notably Christmas and Evergreen Bells Are Ringing,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: which was a terrible culmination of that series. It was
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I feel badly for him because he got a raw
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: deal in that movie. But that's another wide open storyline.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: We have this teacher who seems to be somewhat beloved.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: He goes on this date with Goldie and at one
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: point she seems to suspect him of being the murderer,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: so she leaves the date abruptly. But prior to that,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: it seemed like, prior to her suspecting him and going
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: on the date, it seems like maybe there were some
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: feelings there because they had been dancing around getting together,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and she finally admits she hasn't been the date in forever,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: so that seems unresolved. And we find out that the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: day woman is also his former girlfriend.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's there's so much happening. Yeah, can can we
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: talk about Goldies?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Truck says very good catering gold Yeo, okay, go ahead,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Verry good. It's like a play on words. I know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: but you think it should be Goldie something Goldies catering Barry.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I don't like Barry as very like. I don't. It
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: feels like like youthful, like use it for Teddy bears.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, a sophisticated catering operation. Well, speaking of that,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I thought that she looked very unstressed, for like she's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: catering this like brunch at school, and then she does
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the party and she's like actually not doing any of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the work. We never see any of her staff never,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So who's back there making this happen? Because when she's
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: at the party, they're like, oh, it's only the first course.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Why is she not back there making the second course happen?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know any that's not how that works. No,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: They're like, we would like you to be a guest,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and I would be like, absolutely not, I don't have
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: time for that. Hu. She's just like, sorry, I have
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: my detective hat on tonight. I am trying to sell
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this murder. And then Adele makes her take her apron off.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that, yes, because doctor Gentle comes over
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I've been sent by her hostess. Your
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: food's delicious, and please take your apron off. And he
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: takes her apron from her because she looks like the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: staff evident. Oh my gosh, I don't get it. Okay, interesting.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to rate this movie? I am. I
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: have a real star search rating here. Okay, three two, one,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: three and a half stars, five, Oh, very close. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: wrote that I would definitely watch this as a series,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: A hundred percent agree. You gotta get me in on
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: that first one. I'm not going to go back and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: watch the Tea Garden series now that there's been a
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: busy of them, Like naw I saw the first one.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I'm invested. Yes, absolutely, give me more, Give me more.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Next week we're back to one episode and it is
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: love classified. The Hallmark community is quite torn. On their
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: thoughts about this movie. Because Hallmark had the audacity to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: feature a same sex couple, and you know what's weird.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: So did a royal runaway romance, so did what was
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the most recent movie with Mattie Finocchio, but just One Kiss?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: So did just One Kiss. Now those characters aren't in
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the preview right, but apparently the Hallmark community is up
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in arms. I just think it's so ridiculous. Sit down,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it's so dumb. And I think too because like those
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: other movies that you mentioned, they were all like side characters.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It wasn't in your face. We're gonna see some in
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: your face I think yeah, because they're including that storyline
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: as part of the ta and these are the children
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: of the main character, Melaura Harden, So yes, I think
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: they will feature more prominently than those characters. I'm very
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: excited for this movie. I think the previews make it
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: look great. Me too. I love Malaura Harden, me too.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: So we will be back with our thoughts on Love
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Classified next Thursday. In the meantime, hop into our Facebook
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: group let us know your thoughts on this movie, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: until then, happy watching, everybody, Good Bye bye,
