  Speaker 1: pichu proposal.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Katie helps plan her brother's proposal a top machu pichu.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: When the proposal is ruined by a spontaneous chef, Carlos,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Katie enlists Carlos to help her find the most romantic
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: spot in all of Perue.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Did Carlos ruin the proposal?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, did she actually enlists him to help her
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: find a new spot.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: She takes him along as her traveling buddy under the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: guise of finding him new secret ingredients.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, which I think were grubs. Eventually, Have you ever
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: found a grub in your garden?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't believe so.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's exactly what those little shrimp
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: bugs were exactly when she cracked open whatever that root was.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But on occasion in the backyard I will find like
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: if I dig into the dirt, I will find those
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: They look like shrimp bugs.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen. But I don't also garden,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I don't do any gardener I know, but like wait
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: eating that. We tried to grow tomatoes one year and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we got those really terrifying tomato caterpillars with the crazy
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: eyes on the side of their heads. I couldn't do it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I was out never again. A Machu Pichu Proposal was
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: directed by Colin Thays. Colin has directed several other movies
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: starring Rann and Fish in his career, including Polar Opposites
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: from January and A Costa Rican Wedding. Colin loves a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: non location shoot, having also directed A Greek Recipe for
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Romance and Loving the Maldives.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Juliana Wimbles wrote the script for A Machu Pichu Proposal.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: This is Juliana's eighth act writing Sorry, this is Juliana's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: eighth writing credit, having previously written This Time Each Year
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and A Costa Rican Wedding. Juliana is also an accomplished actress.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: She appears as Cobaker Cookie Jared Cobaker in the Hanna
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Swanson mysteries.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Rhann and Fish stars as Katie and is currently on
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the running for the star We've seen most frequently on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Hallmark in twenty twenty five, as she was in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: latest Sign Sealed Delivered installment, as well as Polar Opposites
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: during January. I think maybe the only person we've seen
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: as many times might be Alie Sweeney did Reann and Fish.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Was she in this last sigin Sel delivered movie. Yes,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: but not like she didn't play a huge role like
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: she had previously. She was Charlie, I know, but she wasn't.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: They went on a road trip on that and she
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: didn't go on that road trip. Okay, right, it's fine.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: She didn't play a prominent she was just there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she held down the floor, I believe while they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: were gone.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Alex Santos plays love interests Carlow. Alec previously appeared in
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: all four unwrapping Christmas movies re airing on Hallmark Channel
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: during Christmas in July. Btw, we are not reviewing those movies.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Christopher Via plays Katie's twin Dan. This is Christopher's first
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: appearance on Hallmark.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Michelle Rossello plays fiance Luciana. This is show's fourth acting
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: credit and her first time appearing on Hallmark.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We're gonna take a kick, great can come right back
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with our first impressions of a Machu pichu proposal. Well, Wendy,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that was your first impression of a Machu pachu proposal.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It's not mean, but if this is what Hallmark is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: buying these days, I've got a vacation slide show they
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: might be interested in.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: My first impression is watching this movie felt a little
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: like hiking uphill both.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Ways one hundred percent. Can I just share a quick
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: thought here, Yeah, I don't understand why Hallmark continues to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: purchase movies.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: From certain production companies. Yeah, I only I have to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: assume that it works out as a as a good
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: business decision for them, Like the purchase price versus the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: money they stand to make by airing it from commercial revenue,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: right might work out in their favor. Otherwise they wouldn't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: continue to do it. But I would agree that movies
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: produced in house I prefer them same.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I just I'm sure there's been some good ones in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the past from this particular production company. But I also
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: believe that they have kind of built a reputation that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: when I know it's one of their movies, I already
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: kind of go in with a.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: We know they're working with a limited budget, and so
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: while I think you can absolutely make quality programming on
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a limited budget, I think it does add some more challenges. Yeah,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and sometimes sometimes it chose Yeah, you want to talk
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: about likes I do.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Buckle up, let me hear yours well.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be everyone's favorite thing about
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: this movie. The Peruvian setting, it's mine. It's it's stunning.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: The scenery of the cinematography. I mean, they do some
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: wide shots that you truly like, are stunning. You Stanmac
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: makes you want to visit It's gorgeous. The colors are
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: very vibrant. They shot in a variety of locales. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate that, and I was very drawn visually to the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: scenery in this movie.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I agree when they were doing like the salt mining,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I yes, really super cool, mostly because I've never seen
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: anything like that before, Like I don't know how salt
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: comes to.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Be, especially that kind of salt, you know, I mean
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to your point. In addition to the scenery, I think
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: they did a really great job of integrating the culture
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of Shrew into this movie. With food. We have the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: empanada making, we have the women in the textiles, we
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: have Pacha Mango which is cooking in mother air. We
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: had the chocolate moment. I just think it anchors the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: film in a real place with real people, and that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was the most interesting part to me. I was like, yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: show me more about what it's like that. I don't
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: really care about what these what these guys are doing. Yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: running around cousin mischief. Nice point.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I did think that parade in the street thing was
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: kind of scary though, I'm because I don't like a mask,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so that was kind of terrifying for me personally. Sure,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: but I can appreciate a cultural moment for sure, or
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: an experience like that. I think that's really cool. Peru
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: was also on top of my likes. The next like
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that I have was the lamas goats and the sleeping dog. Yeah, like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the human characters were not working for me, but at
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: least I got some like really cute animals that I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: was interested in them, like that one scene where the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: lady's like holding that baby goat and like I'm sling
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I want to do that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: That looks fun.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And then I don't know if you saw it, but
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: there was at the top of the movie they once
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: they get to Peru, there's just a dog sleeping like
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: on the side of the road by a busy street.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just snoozing, you know.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: So is so wild to me when like you go
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to a foreign country and they have like just wild
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: dogs on the streets.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Hmmm, crazy to me.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I remember one time I was in Turks and caicost
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and I was like that. I was like, can somebody
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: get that dog please?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: We know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Do you have any other likes? I'm ready to talk wishes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you only had one like and it
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: was Peru, Peru and its people. Okay, that's not quisious then, okay,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I want to.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Talk about the final proposal. I think they leaned really
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: hard into Dan's like techiness. In his app. He makes
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a couple throw away blink and you'll miss them comments
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: throughout the movie. There's one up top he says something
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: about geo tracking, which I clocked because you know, we
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: get a lot of these weird geo tracking hijinks in
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: some of these movies. And then at one point he's like,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: look at this new photo app. All of that comes
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: together in theory in this proposal where we go from
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: projector shot to VR experience. And as I said, when
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: we were watching the movie, they didn't really land the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: plane there. For me just thought, what's what's happening? What
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in the fever dream is this?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they needed to do that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Honestly, here's the thing. They spent all this time trying
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to come up with this beautiful proposal and this memorable
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: proposal and this photo worthy proposal. And I really hoped
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that when all of their plans didn't work out for
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: various reasons, that when Katie's calling her brother, she's like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: don't worry, I have it under control. I wanted them
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to be like, we don't need any of that, right,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful because we're together. It could be with her family,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it could be sitting to dinner. The beauty is in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: our relationship, not what the photo looks like. And then
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: they had to go create a faux beautiful moment and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't love it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: No, And especially in like a world of chat GPT
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: in these like fied moments, that was really weird to me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: It was really weird to me.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And back to your point, like they could have easily
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: made turned any moment into a romantic moment, but they
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: were going so hard on Katie's She had a previous
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: like proposal right that went sideways.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And this guy had like his special camera and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: he wanted this three sixty shot. Yeah, I know, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: just needed to let it go.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I know, I thought it was just dumb, dumb for me.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Someone who hates hyjiinks it was hyjenks galore. God, this
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: is your personal Everest friends. I feel your pain from
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: losing the engagement ring to the like guy drinking the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: dairy bass drink and then breaking out in hives from
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the wool like all of that stuff, like kept building
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and building and building.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I tap out, like well, and it's so much that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you start expecting it to happen at every moment. So
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it did happen at it. When Katie's walking along the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: salt flats, I'm like, oh, she's gonna fall in, And
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: when she did it, you're like, oh, it's almost surprising
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: because you just expect the worst at every turn. There
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: were a lot of moments that things could have gone
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: wrong and they didn't, and you start waiting for them
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to simply because I mean, how many times are we
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: gonna drop the ring?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I know, stop carrying around a ring loosely in proposals?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that was her movie a Coasta Rican. She lost
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the ring in a Coasta Rican proposal.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I guess the message here is don't trust Rhann and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: fish a costa Rican wedding.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, did I have the same name? Yeah,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: don't because.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: The monkey steals it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she got blamed, you remember, because it was
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: in her bag. As an actor, do you look at
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: these script scripts and go, am I gonna play this
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: character again where I'm the responsible one? Who's where I'm
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the one who is responsible for losing the engagement ring? Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: she didn't lose it this time, her brother knocked it
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: into the chocolate fine. Speaking to her brother Dan is
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: just shut up, goofy.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the idea was supposed to be that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: they're like twin twin nerds and they like really have
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that in common. They're these like strong type A personalities
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and they like to control everything, and when they couldn't
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: control it, they couldn't handle their lives.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I feel that. I feel that. But he was so
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: like the way his reaction. She handled things better than
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: he did. He couldn't like recover. I thought, I don't know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: he just and then he turned so mean on her
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: when he like rips into her in this moment where
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: like his fiance, she turns her ankle and he finds
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: out that Carlos now knows about the proposal and blah
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: blah blah, which excuse me, was Carlos telling him, like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: do the proposal now when your fiance are soon to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: be is here in pain on the ground, Like that
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me, But he was super
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: mean to his sister. I have siblings, but we're not
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: close enough age to have like fights like that, right,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I know you have a sibling that's.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: You know what.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: We like that not as an adults, but our relationship
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: is very surface level. We thought we did not get
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: along as children. But I, on the one hand, I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: can understand. I'm the kind of person who like when
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I get so frustrated and I am out of control,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: like I will lash out at another person. I mean,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it's not a quality I like about myself. But it's like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated, I need to, like one little thing
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: put me over the edge, and I need you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: she needed someone else to be at fault. I just
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: felt like nobody was really thinking things through here. Their
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: need to keep it a secret from Carlos was completely unnecessary,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: agree because they just kept saying, well, Carlos will he
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: won't keep our secret Luciana is one of his best friends.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Why would Carlos not want her to have a beautiful proposal?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to interfere in their relationships, So why
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: can't you trust that if you him in on your secret,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that he will then help make this the best possible
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: scenario for her? But they had no faith in him,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And all of this hijinks is based, in my opinion,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on a false premise about them needing to keep it
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a secret from Carlos.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Well, and that because there's such control freaks and Carlos
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: is more of a like free go with the flow
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: kind of guy like that, they thought he was going
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to ruin their big plan, but they couldn't even execute
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: their own plan.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: No, they're like trying to have like double subterfuge here, right,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Like they're trying to keep the proposal a secret, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: she's taking Carlos on this like secret mission to find
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: these proposal spots on the premise that they're finding some
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: secret ingredient and to help his cooking it. There's too many, Lyne,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: there's too much to too many plates spinning. I agree,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: let's talk about or did you see that moment? I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: have a couple. Yeah, just a couple.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: The first one I have is at the top of
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the movie and Katie is in her home cooking room
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and there's wallpaper in the background, and I'm like, is
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: this a high school homet class or my nineteen ninety
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: two childhood bedroom. It was like a floral. I was like,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: what's happening here? And that doesn't make any sense to me.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: The next biggest one that I noticed that we enjoyed,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: we spotted at the same time. There was obviously some
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: rainfall because when they got to Peru, Dan's shirt had
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: rain drops like all over it, and then the next
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: scene no rangeony dry. Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I have just a couple of little notes. There's a
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: lot of orange in the costuming of this movie. And
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: while I do think that this was a very colorful locale,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of vibrants in the colors,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I wondered if it was intentional because there's a lot
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: of orange. You commented, is this in your do you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: have more digito? That's you commented that Katie and Dan
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: are often dressed very similarly to each other, almost like
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: matching outfits, but not same color ways. Yeah, when they're
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: exploring the markets on by Day, I mean Katie and Carlos.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: There are multiple shots where she's all alone, and these
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: are what seemed to me would be pretty crowded markets.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: They're narrow alleyways, there are small stalls for food and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: text size, and there's Yeah that was so weird. And finally,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: during one of in there's a they're in an alleyway
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: outside a restaurant and there's a canal running down the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: center of the alleyway, and I just would absolutely have
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: stepped right in that and dripped without a doubt. Could
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you imagine. I wonder how many people.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Have stepped in that and like turn their ankles.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems really dangerous.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering. I'm wondering why that, why that is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the way it is.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had one more note. And I'm not trying
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: to have some woman on woman crime here, but Rihanna
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Fish's voice at times sounded like it was she had
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: kind of a little bit of a horse Yeah, I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: think she cold, might head of cold. And then at
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: one time she uses like a baby voice, which really
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: is a choice.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I don't love. That's it. What did you rate this movie?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I gave it one star.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, I give it to Wow. The scenery was enough
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: for me to give it too.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Really, I know, I'm trying to think back. I hate
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: when I do this. And I even asked you why
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: we were watching this? Is this better or worse than
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the Hot Air Balloon movie from earlier this year? You
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: thought it was better?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I gave that movie a one star as well. Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: For me, it's like a super bummer because I thought
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the entire like the Passport to Love theme was good
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and the other movies this month were good. It's a
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: bummer to end on this note.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't think the execution was super strong on this movie, unfortunately,
• 19:55
