• 5:07
  Speaker 1: first impression of Mystery one on one dead Talk? I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: call this one.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Travis eats humble Pie and Amy out detectives him.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Oh. My first impression is I don't want to review
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: this series anymore because I'd rather just sit back, relax
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and enjoy the show. Oh, why tell me more? Someone
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: told us what these people call themselves? These people? Oh
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: did they?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Trying to remember, Like, what the heck you mean?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The fans of the show.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're one of one ers and Palaha nation.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, so one A Wonders is the cutest thing I've
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: ever heard.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Consider me a one on oneer because I love this series,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this franchise. I feel like the movies get better with time.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm last week I was like this was the best
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: one yet, and now I'm like, this was the best
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: one yet. When Palaja walks on screen for the first time,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Wagner's sitting in that coffee shop and he walks in.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I was so happy to see him, like an old
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: friend had just joined the chat, like I was there
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: with them. I didn't want to like sit and take notes.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I wanted to put my phone away. I didn't want
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to have to think about it. I just wanted to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. I'm all in.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I do have a thought though.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, isn't it hard to watch these knowing it's going
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to come to a screaming halt?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it's in my wishes? Okay, all right, Well,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like before than halfway through.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, and I feel like
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: this is a franchise. I mean, honestly, I don't know
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: what comes in the next three movies, but I feel
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: like this could be a franchise still happening in twenty
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: twenty five.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, it doesn't hit. Look, this is only twenty nineteen.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It's six years old. It's not old. But it doesn't
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: feel dated. It doesn't. There's nothing about it that I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: like didn't as well. It feels fresh and current. And
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the cinematography on this was really beautiful to me. All
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of the scenes. I was like, this is so nice.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: To watch. Yeah, it just makes me kind of sad.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. What did you like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: about this installment?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Well, this particular movie I thought was really sharp, It
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: was really layered, and like you said, it was just
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. I thought the writing was really smart.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It gave me a lot of I've complained about this
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: in the past, like too many, too many suspects, you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: trying to throw me off the scent, right, But this
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: one I thought, all right, we have several viable suspects
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and motives that really had to be guessing until the end.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And I gotta say I was kind of surprise. I
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: didn't see Lieutenant Knox being the bad guy.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, had you? I started to suspect her toward
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the end, I heard to suspect both cops the Denny
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Roma Lachlan Monroe character, But that felt too obvious to me,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and I felt like Detective Knox was the only one
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: we weren't excuse me, Lieutenant Lieutenant Yes, I felt like
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: she was the only one we weren't looking closely enough.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand motivation. And then I remembered, as I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: was thinking about it, there was something with her father
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that was unfinished, and I didn't know, but I thought
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: there was something there. I really loved this movie as well.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: One thing I liked is the change of scenery because
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I think at some point, when we just do a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: string of murders in the same location, we have to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: suspend our disbelief too much. And so the change of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: location is nice for that, because we've got like an
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: off site murder that again they just happen to be
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: present for, but at least it's not a campus adjacent murder.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And I did look ahead to the synopsis for the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: next movie, and it is a cold case. Oh so
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I think these two combinations kind of help us. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: think they're working within the constraints of these mystery murder
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: franchises where we got to continue, you have a murder
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: every week, but how do we do it in a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: way that's not just like, well, now the entire town's dead.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. But that was great, well done. I agree
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: changing up this setting worked for me too. It's in
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: my likes as well. I also want to add that
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I like that this one wasn't as spooky.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: As some of the other earlier movies. It's less personal.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. That's an interesting take. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yah, yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, because then you can they can work
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: on discovery or like you know, figuring out who did
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: it without having like a personal.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Attachment to it. Yeah. Amy's dad isn't a suspect, right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it's not a student of hers that's involved. They're fully
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: objective and on the outside, which I thought was great.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Same, same, same same. I said it in my first impression.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But I did love how Travis gets a little taste
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: of his own medicine in this movie. The whole shift
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: shifting dynamic between Amy and Travis matters here. I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: he is the one that's being told to stay away
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: from the investigation, and now he finally gets to see
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: like what it feels like for Amy to be sidelined,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Like he understands her better. You know that it means
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: more than what we're just taking that face value here.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting when you were talking about the shift
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: kind of in home Turf a little bit. I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I started thinking only just now when you said that, yes,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Travis's on the outside as a detective, but also he's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit on the outside in the Travis and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Amy dynamic where she's the one kind of leading the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: charge because she's here to give her teachable talk, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: so he's the observer. And while he obviously brings like
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the detective expertise in every other movie as the detective,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he kind of leads the charge. And because she's the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: lead story here, I think it turns our dynamic on
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: their head a little bit more in that regard too
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: well for me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I think Amy, Okay, this is not
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a to dog on Travis the character here, because I
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: believe he's also a smart, good detective. But I think
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Amy's clearly the brains. Yeah, and it doesn't there's it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: not meant to make them one less than the other.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I think they work so well together, and that is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: fun to watch where it's not just like where we
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: having Curious Cater where Andrew Walker is trying to like
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: clue Goldie in on police work.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Like there's like.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: A same level of expertise but from different viewpoints, which,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: as a viewer of the movie, is fun to watch
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: come together totally.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I thought this movie did a nice job building tension.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: We have the tension between Bishop and Travis, which was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: very fun and humorous. Trevor when he calls Travis Trevor
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't know why I do that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and plajagos a few ideas. I loved it is such
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a great throwaway line. Loved it so much. And then
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: we also get tension between Knox and Amy and Travis,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and I liked.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I liked that it's not oh my gosh, it's not spooky,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: but I was sorry.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to cut. But like, even like jealousy tension.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Did you catch that, like when he sees her and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: he gives her a big hug and they show Amy
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: like what the Like, who's this chick?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You know? Like, I just thought it was very good,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: very well done. I agree.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I kind of really loved it that Amy has this
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: secret hobby, like she understands like this Dungeons and Dragons game, Yes,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it is playing, yes, And for me gives her character
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a new layer, because we don't really know a lot
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: about Amy other than she's an English teacher who has
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a specialty in crime fiction and she's got this ex
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: boyfriend and a dead mom. Other than that, like, we
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: really don't know anything about her, right, so it was
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: kind of fun to like peel back this layer of like, oh,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you know, she's probably a critical thinker. Obviously we know that, right,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But yes, it would fall in line that she would
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: play a game like this because the strategy. What kind
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of brain she has? Yeah, exactly. Lastly, for me, another
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: thing I really liked, and I mentioned this in an
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: earlier review. I love how they keep weaving literary references
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: into these movies. They talk about books I've never heard
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: of before, which are real books, and I'm like, that's
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: super cool, Like do I want to look into that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: The other part of it is I I love that
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: we see Graham, the character of Graham, and he's got
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: like a new book, right, And I wish I wish
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: there could be a spinoff series where we get have
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I talked about this before, like a spinoff into Graham's novels.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, either where we get the Atticus Pinch.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, something like that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I would love. I would love. I would absolutely watch that. Yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that would be great. Well, I'm ready to talk wishes. Okay,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: My wishes all center around things that I find to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: be missing from this movie. Oh me too, go ahead,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: small wish before I get to my big wish. Bud
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Holly and Clara Hardley in the movie. They just show
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: up at the end. I'm like, come on, I needed that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I get it, But I almost was like, why have
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: them show up at the I mean, I guess they're
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: there for her talk, but I would have loved to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see them like weave them in like on a on
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a FaceTime or something.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: That would have been good. That would have been good. Yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I thought the same thing too, because I was like, well,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I'm missing like a whole fraction of this cast, right,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: but it wouldn't make sense that they were out there
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: too for the top.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree, But like I think this
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is Sarah Dugdale's last mystery one on one movie, So
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I'm a little sad. My big even have a line
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in this movie congratulations. Nice joke. Yeah exactly. Yeah. My
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: big wish is there's not enough forward motion with Amy
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and Travis, and to go back to your aren't you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: nervous about it ending? I'm very nervous about it ending
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: without without enough development in this relationship. I do think
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: someone messaged us. I don't know if I hallucinated that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and said that they do kiss before movie seven? Where
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you saw that? Where did I tell you where I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: saw that? Because we have on our Instagram the Girl's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Gone Hallmark hang Out, and I asked in there, I said,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I need somebody to tell me that they are going
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to kiss before movie seven, before I crash out of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a human watching this movie, and somebody to say it
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: does happen.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't need to know the details
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: of when. I just need to know that it happens
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: before movie seven.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But my concern is I really want to see I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: know movie seven ends on the cliffhanger. I know the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: fate of these two is hanging in the balance, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I just want the satisfaction of seeing them kind of
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: settling into a relationship. I don't just want the kiss
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and then they're figuring, like I just I want to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: see them actually experiencing each other as a couple, even
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: if they're not fully fleshed out, like I want, not
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: just the teasing. We do get a lot of the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: teasing like Hey, you want to grab dinner? No I can't,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yes I can, No, you got to go work,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And there's a little bit of that back and forth,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: but there's not enough forward we we can tell in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: this movie they're both into each other.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, let me stop you there. One, I don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: think we're gonna get that. I think no, I don't
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: we're going to get that. Two. Yes, there's a lot
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: of we're getting hints of it there, the way they're
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: embracing each other after her talk, I was like, just kiss.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I was like screaming at my TV yesterday. Also the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: scene you just mentioned about, like I could go to dinner,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I can't. Like I put myself in this
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and in the role of Amy while watching that scene,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and when you have like a man like saying like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: oh no, you need to go do your thing and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: like turns around and walk away, like can you leave
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: me wanting any more? Holy?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Hell? Right, so good.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna get to see them as
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: like a full couple before the end of the series,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: And I hate it.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I know we're four movies in and they're still like
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: flirting around. I feel like maybe movie six we get
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a kiss, and maybe movie seven they're starting to explore
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: what that means, and then we get whatever this weird
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: cliffhanger is. I'm mad at every single person who said
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we needed to watch this. I could have lived the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: rest of my life not having seen like the entire series,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: because now I'm just gonna be mad like everybody else.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I know, I understand why they're so mad.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You talked about some of my wishes. One that we
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: didn't touch on. There was not enough Graham him had
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: to beginning. We've got him a little bit at the end.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Why weren't they like using him to like riff off
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: of you know? Uh huh, I need more Graham. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: love Graham.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I love Graham too. Is that it? That's it for
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: my wishes?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Let's talk?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Did you see that?
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I have a few?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's hear him one.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I just thought this was funny. There was all this
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: build up talking about this cool electric car that costs
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a bazillion dollars and it's a Tesla, And like in
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, maybe that was still kind of impressive, but
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, like every second car on the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: road is a Tesla, at least here in California.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: In Orange County, especially right right every white Tesla too.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: By the way, don't I tell you. I was in
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Montana earlier this year and like two days into the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: trip and we passed the Tesla and I was like,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: have you seen any other tesla since we've been here,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and my kid was like, no, that's weird. It totally
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: stood out. It's definitely a California thing, but it's it
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was I did laugh too when that tesla was cruising
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: by that fancy car. Probably he's got this cool electric car,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and I was like, this isn't twenty fifteen. I don't know.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: It just was funny. Uh huh.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: We got a running scene with Amy and she's wearing
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: flats this time around. This running scene is when they're
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: running through like the backwoods or wherever after that kid,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and I love that she tackles the kid.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really funny. I'm actually glad. I was
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: watching it and I was like, is Travis going to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: tackle this poor kid? I think it was a smart
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: move to have Amy do it. Yeah, it made me laugh.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: This is not officially in my notes, but Amy's wearing
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: this blue dress when they they're like at the party
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: or whatever. It's like kind of asymmetrical up top. It's
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: in the movie poster or too, she's wearing it. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: think it's a dress. It might be pants, but I
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: think it's a dress.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So cute. Her clothes are real cute. She does she
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: does are you talking about? No, not the dress she
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: wears like kind of formally has like an interesting neckline. Yeah,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that's the one. I have one more.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Did you see that?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: They're just little little scenes throughout the movie. We already
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: talked about one, the way that Amy reacts to Burke
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: when he gives a hug to Lieutenant Knocks. Burke's chat
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: with Graham about going to go see Amy's talk in Seattle,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: like their whole exchange outside, like the little coffee place.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I just loved it so much, Like well, and how
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: he wants Travis to come because he hates her other boyfriend.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I got days off, I got you gotta use it
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: or lose it. I just laughed.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I laughed.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: And then I just like, you know, Travis is feeling
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: jealous about Amy's ex kind of being around, you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: asking Holly questions and stuff. I loved all that. Those
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: were my little digit see.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: That and Graham getting him into a pack of tucks
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and Travis is like nobody's wearing tuxes, and he was like, well,
• 21:31

• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Just two little things. I really enjoyed that's not the

• 22:11
  Speaker 1: maker in Chicago. He says punch key, and it's driving
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: me crazy. It's pronounced punch key or some people say
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: punch key, but never like he says it. And here,

  Speaker 2: the four movies we've seen so far. I gave it
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: four and a half stars. I gave it four point
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: two five stars. This might be the first time we
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: have not rated these movies the same, and it's going
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: in a nice upward for I know trajection.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I'm actually glad we didn't have the same rating because
• 23:18

• 23:21
  Speaker 1: get mad as if we're we don't. It just happens before.
• 23:28
