• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a former Hallmark hater er. Guess what the mail bag lives?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: On today's episode, we are back with another listener mail bag,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and while it is pretty the way Home heavy, there
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is plenty of additional commentary included in this episode, so
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we would love for you to keep those emails coming.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Hello at Girlsgnhollmark dot com for all of your Hamemark
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: related thoughts. For future Listener mail Bag episodes, listen, Can
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I jump in here real quick please? I've been traveling
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this last week and every time I open my phone,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I see something new about Hallmark. I know. I'm like,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I can't keep up. The one week that I take off,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: like all all this stuff comes out, I can't keep up.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And I saw that there was previews for previews or
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a trailer or a clip I don't know, sneak peek
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of the Disney Oh, I'm excited. I haven't even looked
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: at it yet. I saw that does it look good?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Here's my first impression of the Disney movie. The fact
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that it is done in partnership with Disney, and we
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: get to use Disney property and Disney branding. It's not
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: some like Bobo theme park. That elevates it for me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And the fact that they're shooting on location and Disney
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is very productive of their brand. So in my feeling
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: like Disney's not gonna let Hallmark make a bad movie,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and Ryan Landell's is attached and Ryan Landell's doesn't miss
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: so far, so I'm looking forward to this movie. Well
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know how I feel yet Disney hater, Christmas hater.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a hard stll. If Megan knows
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: me best guy, then I just sum it up pretty
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: much summed it up. Yeah, it's gonna be a rough
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: holiday season for me. I think I think we're gonna
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: make a former Disney hater out of you. Maybe. Also,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I know we talked about it last week with the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Bear's announcement. Yeah, I gotta tell you. I was out
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to dinner with some family last weekend and I had
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: told my husband and my mother in law because my
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: brother in law is a huge Bears fan, and I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, did you guys hear? Of course they
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: didn't because they're not on the pulse of what Hallmark's doing. Sure,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but I was like, they're doing a collaboration with the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, and I was like, yeah, I think even
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the coach. I don't know if it is the coach,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but I think it's the head coach who made the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: announcement for the Bears. I tell this to my husband
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and he's like what, He's like, that guy's not super
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: media friendly. So he was like shocked. So then I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: had us send it to him and send it to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: my mother in law, who then sent it to my
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: brother in law. I think I got three more on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: board for Hallmark. Now, Oh, get that the hard work
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: over here, Hallmark grass roots promotion of Yes, Gorilla Marketing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Girls Gone Hallmark all right of mouth. Yes, let's get
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: into let's get into that. Pop into the listener mail bag.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Our first is an email from Sarah who says, my
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: only note on your commentary is the whole Nick evesdropping
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and then popping out thing, which I laughed at both times.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It's literally the same thing that Alice and Kat did
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: every single time they were creeping around in the past.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: The difference is Nick popped out and said something, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Alice and Kat just creeped and Eves dropped. Why is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it okay when they did it but not with Nick
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: full disclosure. I'm a Nick and Alice fan, and I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: know you both aren't. I get it, but I've been
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: reading fan fiction since I was ten, and this is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the exact kind of trope that I love. I knew
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Homewark wasn't going to but I was grateful for the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: little moments they did give us. I felt the same
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: way about Nick's maybe you'll meet clear one day line
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: as I did about Thomas saying the house was blue.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Is there a difference between Nick popping out and Alice
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and Kat just creeping around? I don't think there is.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Alice was in that house watching them in multiple episodes
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of season four. Yeah, that's a really valid point. Yes,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And if it had been Nick or Elliott or anybody
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: else would have been like ew get out. But we
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: gave Alice a pass. We said it was weird but
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not creepy. Soon I appreciate this call out here. Yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I do too. We have an email from Maggie. She writes,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: first time writer but regular listener. I finally watched the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Way Home series finale, and here's my crazy thought about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Nick's wife Claire. It's Susanna. She time traveled with a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: landry met Nick and has been living in current time
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: with him since. In season five yet to be made,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: she'll have to figure out how to be in the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: same friend group with Kat while secretly in love with her.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that would be a real pivot, one we
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: could take on Netflix exactly. Not gonna happen on Hallmark.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But if another network picks it up the way Home
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on HBO Max, could you imagine I would? I would
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: love it. I would shout front a rooftops talk about
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: guerrilla marketing. I would be like, everybody needs to watch
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: this show the morning right up top. Yes, our rating,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: love it, love it TBMA, Yes, exactly. What do you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: think about Claire being Susannah? Uh No, you don't think so. Oh.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, we don't have forward time travel, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I mean I think it's I think it's funny. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: think it's interesting to think about, But I don't think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Susannah is Claire. What are some other wild theories have
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you read about who Claire is? I have not read
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: any other other than Alice. Oh, okay, okay me neither.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I just was wondering if there were ones out there. Yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there are. I'm sure there are. It's Dell,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: could you No, that would be worse than Alice. It's Rita,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that would be hilarious. Oh my gosh, No, it's none
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of those people. No, that's not working for me, it lady.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Sorry, I'm joking. I'm joking, all right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I sent her hate emails. Guys, we're just having a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: good time with these final emails. That's all all right,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Francisco says, listen to your final mail bag for the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: way home and loved it. One thing I want to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: agree with you is it really did change from a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: show about personal family connections to a mystery box show.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's for the best. I think Alison
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: pulls goodbye and his revelation was meaningful. The one with
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Fern wasn't as meaningful. It still kept that up this season,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but knowing what the suitcase was just wasn't necessary to me.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: As one example, I agree on Nick, it's weird. I've
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: seen the logic in groups, and it's either a Alice
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: goes back to the nineties and grows up somehow to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: become Claire and be with Nick, which why or b
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: present day? Nick and Alice end up together and Claire
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: is her stage name. Oh that's one I've seen, which
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is creepy. Someone who you knew as a teen was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: what waiting for her to come of age? It's gross.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: What Megan said about him, something to the effect of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: call me when you're old enough. I let out the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: biggest laugh. There's a rumor now Nick is Griffin even no,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Nick is Nick? Okay, I could kind of believe this.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe Alice has a stage name as Claire, okay, but
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's it is still kind of weird, like he's her
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: mom's age. I'm standing tent Ho's Alice is not Claire.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, agree, agree. Agree. Francisco goes on
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to say people will keep wondering and discussing various questions
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: if it doesn't get picked up. I'm sure. I also
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: haven't immersed myself in every nuance of every series interview
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: with the showrunners, but I did see a bit of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: an interview Kristin Maldonado did, and they said the Nick
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and Thomas scenes were winks to the fans. Eye roll,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Oh shame on you, I roll. I liked the Thomas
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: scene to get being a wink to the fans. I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was a fan of Thomas and all of that stuff,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: so I can see how the fans of Alison Nick
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: enjoyed their little wink two. Francisco ends his email with PS,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'd totally be down for a rewatch. Francisco is not alone,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he is not. Christine wrote, you guys are amazing, Please
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: do a rewatch podcast. The only news that would top
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that is a season five. Thanks for all the great conversations,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and Shana says would absolutely love a rewatch of the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: series to hear your thoughts with knowing what we all
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: know and still may not know. Now, okay, here's my
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: question for you. What would a rewatch even look like
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: for us? I don't know. I mean, are we talking
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: all forty episodes? Are we talking combining a few doing
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: like a few episodes per season. Here's my biggest fear.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You know how people got mad at us when we
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: forgot details? Yes, during a rewatch, I can't be guaranteed
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to remember all of the details to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: be looking for. Some people were commenting like, oh, there's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: mistakes in season one based on what we know now,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and I don't think those are mistakes. Those are just
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the writer's changed course and they're hoping people forget about
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: some of those things. I'm just concerned that people are
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: gonna get mad. But I'm open to a rewatch. I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can't envision the format yet. Yeah, I can't envision the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: format either, or the time that we would have to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: do it. Not today's July third. As we record this,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: before we know it, it will be Christmas content, which
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: drops October. Is that right? We're not doing it during
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the Christmas season. Yep. It would have to be like
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: next year. Yep. So I don't know if listeners here
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: are truly interested in a rewatch. I encourage you to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: send us an email with a pitch on how that
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: would look on our end. What does that look like?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Because we've already gone through every episode, and while our
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: format did change a little bit as we recorded those,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: like reviews or whatever, I'm curious, like what you would
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: want to see that's different. I agree, I agree, send
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: us those emails, Brittany writes Man. She says, as for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a possible future season, I hope they just leave it
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: as is. Kyler Lee will want to move on to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: another show. She has left successful renewed shows before. I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: don't think that the show would work without her in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it unless they kill off the character or put the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: character in a comatose state, which fans would protest. The
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: only other way is to set it much farther in
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the future. H here's my thoughts. Don't hate the idea
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of like a jump forward in the future reinvention of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the show. But then I do think the hardcore fans
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: would not be happy with that because our regular players, everybody,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody we love, wouldn't be part of it. Yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it would be a hard show without Sadie and Andy
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and Kyler. The overall point here is a good one.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: We have a big ensemble cast. The idea of them
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: all still being available to do another season should it
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: get picked up, is a huge question mark. So these
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: are good points. I even saw I'm sorry, I always
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: gonna say, I even saw recent pictures of Kyler Lee
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and she's super blonde. I mean that's hair. It's fine. Yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: like she shaved her head or anything. But and it's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: easy to go back to brunette or put her in
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a wig. Yeah exactly. But I just was like, oh,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is she doing something else or is that just for fun?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You know? And I did. I don't know if you
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: saw it. I think I shared it on our Instagram,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: but a lot of the ladies from the cast were
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all in New York together. I saw that like having
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a night out. They went to like a show and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: we're talking like showrunners were with them. Yeah yeah, I'm like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: what's happening? Yeah yeah? Is it just fun or were
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they pitching something? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Aaron writes one final question, out of all the seasons,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: what was your favorite scene? The one that's stuck with you?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: For me? I have three? Third place when kat is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: holding Finn's ball and realize what happened to Jacob Season one,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: episode ten, Second place, when Jacob walks through the door,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Dell sees him and then she asks Jacob how to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: see no Alice. Season three, episode one. First place, when
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Colton realizes who Alice truly is. Season three episode ten.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Brava to Aaron with these details here, because this is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: where a rewatch needs to happen for me. I'm like,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I don't remember Cat holding that ball and realizing what
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: happened like that feels so long ago. Was so many
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: years ago. I lived in a different house at that time,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yes, for me, I think
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite scenes is Colton and Cat. Oh
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: didn't they have? Like when he calls her like he's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: dying and she's there he says, my Catherine, Yeah, yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that's it right. Yeah. It's hard for me to remember,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and I don't want the fans to be mad at
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: me for not remembering. It's just I'm old, and these
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: details in one and out the other, you know what
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I mean. I totally understand. I'm gonna have to steal
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: one of Erin's because for me, that scene with Colton
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and Alice in the season three finale is the emotional
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: pinnacle of the show. For me, it's the culmination of
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: so many of our storylines. It really goes to the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: heart of the show. It's not about mystery solving, it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: about the family of it all. And as much as
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: there were still stories to be told in season four
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and beyond, that really reads as a series finale moment
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to me. So that is my highlight, isn't there There's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: another scene that I really like and I don't remember
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the context at all. But I swear it's Kat and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Thomas in the eighteen hundreds, and they're like on the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: banks of the ocean, and it's very emotional. Am I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: making this? Isn't am I having my own? I think
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that exists too, and she has to believe him. But
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the details of season two or season three.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Guys some being mad at me. I'm sorry, Maybe we
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: do need to rewatch. Maybe all right, Robin writes in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: She writes, Chris Holden Reid, you probably know this, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a search of his name will reveal that he is
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in a show called Departure. I found this several years ago.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a British show, but it's not.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: All of the actors sure sounded English, including mister Holden reed,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it's a Canadian show. If you haven't seen it and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you are interested, the three seasons now air on twob
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I saw the first two seasons on Peacock. If mysteries
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: aren't your thing, then the stories might not interest you.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Archiepan Jabi and Christopher Plumber also star in this series.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Have you heard of this show? No? But that doesn't
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: mean anything. No, I know. I'm like, wait a second,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to place Archie Punjabi. I think I know
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: who this person is. Hold on a second, Yes, it
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: is who I thought it was. And Departure is a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: high octane conspiracy series that follows the mystery of Flight
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: seven sixteen, a passenger plane that vanishes over the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: this looks interesting. I would watch this. Archie Punjabi was
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: excellent and The Good Wife excellent. O Interan I love her,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: so you know what, I'm kind of into this. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: might watch this. Patrick Sabonggi, I'm pretty sure he is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: has been in some Hallmark shows. Why is that name
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: familiar to me? He was in the Christmas Sale Yep, yep,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: he sure was. This actually looks quite interesting to me.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And it's a Peacock original series, so if you have Peacock
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it's there. But as mentioned, it's also on Dooby. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna watch this, guys, Yeah, same, all right,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the wreck, Mary says, first of all, thanks
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: for the great reviews of The Way Home all season
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and the Final Mailbag Show. As far as this weekend's movie,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: A Castle of Our Own, A couple of thoughts overall, MEH,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the first film back for Brendan Elliott was a disservice
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to him. Script wise, he doled out tons of helpful
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: in quotation Mark's advice from the minute he met Marley.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: He didn't even know her and was already telling her
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: how to live her life, deal with her boss, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: relate to her child. The phone scene was pretty uncomfortable. Also,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the relationship of a favorite uncle is a lot less
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: complex than that of mother and daughter. Fair so did
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you see that moments? The gorgeous yellow blouse that Marley
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: wore to the sand castle contest was so inappropriate for
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the job at hand. The ex husband was a peach,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: unusual for a Hallmark movie. The daughter was not a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: typical teen. She was great mercurial emotions that smoothed out
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: with some understanding and attention. Fairly body positive move Overall,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: not the best, very predictable story, boundary hopping boss and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a SEPPI typical Hallmark ending. They can do better. Thanks
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: for your show, Keep up the great work, intermingled with
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: laughs and pop culture or references. I still like that movie.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I think Scary has a lot of good points here.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of really big Brennan
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Elliott fans out there. Do I think this script was
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a disservice. I thought it was a soft landing. Yes,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: just what I said before, I agree with you. For
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the show. Jackie sent me a personal text about a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: castle of our own. She said, what I didn't like
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: was that it leaned so hard into the working mom
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: guilt trope of the past. I thought we were over
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the days of mom works so hard that she doesn't
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: pay attention to her kid and they grow apart because
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: of mom's job. I just felt it was so outdated
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and so unfair and really sexist. To me, nobody questions
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: working dads, but we are still questioning working moms. So
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I was really sorry to see that that was the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: foundation of the movie. This movie was an opportunity for
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the daughter to recognize how hard her mom works and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: how much she really wants to take her to Paris.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: When she kept reminding her that she promised to take
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: her to Paris and then didn't. My first thought was,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: what a spoiled brat you are. Ooh, what are your
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the working mom trope? Yeah, I agree with Jackie.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I agree with Jackie in that I don't like the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: depiction of the working mom is abandoning her daughter. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I mean the dad couldn't go because he was working. Yep, right,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: nobody gave him any Sahi t about it. Quick email
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: from Shannon regarding Paris is always a good idea, She says,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I ask Google, and Barbara Nivin is apparently playing Sherry.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I can see her in that role for Paris is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: always a good idea. Also, you said, did we know
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that about Barbara Nivin? I mean, it's in our post,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: so apparently we did. But I did not internalize that information.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: This is not like a scoop. But to these two
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: goldfish brains over here, we get new information. That's what
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: we should call our company, to goldfish brains. Right, I'll
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: get right on that. We have an email from Janice.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: She writes a couple of things semi Hallmark related that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you might find interesting. First, Peter Port plays Melissa Peterman's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: boyfriend slash husband in the TV comedy Baby Daddy. I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: love that show. You should check it out. By the way,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: her TV son Derek Steeler is crazy hot. Okay, hey, Janis,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: thanks for that hot. I love this. First of all,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Peter Port pretty crazy hot as well. Love Melissa Peterman,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: guess I'm watching Baby Daddy this weekend. I always see
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Netflix feeding it to me. I call my like thirty
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: minute laughs. I've never watched it isn't Emily Osmont in
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that show. I have no idea. Can you here Megan googling. Yes,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: she's not. It's a it's a different blonde, Chelsea Kane. Sorry, okay.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Jennis also writes the title of the series, I'm sorry
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the title of the series finale of the Way Home
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: was ahead by a century. They kept up with the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: song titled episodes because that song is by the great
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Canadian band The Tragically Hip. I also recommend you check
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that song out. It's a favorite. That's it. Keep doing
• 21:51
