• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, Wendy, what is your first impression of all manners
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of murder? Look? I don't make the rules, but Nelly
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and Detective Hogan might be the it couple on Hallmark
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Ooh, ooh, ooh, I can't wait. My first impression is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: how many hidden panels can one house have?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Ooh? You know, I don't know if I ever told you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: One time, my family and I like my extended family
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: like parents and grandparents and brother and sister in law,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: we rented a house out in the Palm Desert area
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and the house was on Zillow at one point, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know why, but we were looking at these
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: photos and we're like, where's this room at It was
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a hidden hidden panel room that we've found, and everyone
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: was like kind of freaked out, like don't don't close
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the door behind you because you can't get out. Oh no,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I'm interested it was like a panic room. Basically, oh yeah, wild, Hey,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: would you like about Nelly Know's mysteries? I want to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: talk first about Pascal and Kevin Smith. Please do? They
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: are operating on another level of chemistry here, dude. I'd
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: watch them walk through Ikia together. God. I love a
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: good walkthrough Ikia. God. But you know, just there's no
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: denying that these two are spectacular together. And what I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: noticed in this movie because we don't watch one calls
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the Heart, so we're not. I mean, we see these
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: two show up like as little cameos and things, but
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: like not enough to like make a significant impression, right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: What I noticed in this movie is they react to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: each other. They're not just reciting the line. They naturally
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: have this great sort of rapport with each other that
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: is obvious from years of working together and just being
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: good actors in general. I loved it. Their scenes felt
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: alive to me. I wanted I wanted to watch only them. Yeah,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: their banter is off the charts charming. I would just
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I would. I would watch a million seasons of them.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: They are so good together.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to jump to one of my likes
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: while we're talking about them. Okay, I love that they
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: are not making us wait for the romance to develop,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: like yes, it's early, Like they're not kissing, they're not
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in love, but they're not pretending like it's not happening.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: We're not dragging it out. They're forward progress.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They're being honest with each other about the fact that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: about the fact that there's an attraction and they like
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: each other and are you gonna ask me on a date?
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: And there's they're They're not like, oh, get out of
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: my business and it's so great and you're rooting for them.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: You're not like, yeah, god, we're gonna be seven movies
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: in while they're still like, oh, maybe he likes me.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that is I have that in my notes
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: watching Hannah Swinston last weekend and watching this week, like
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the contrast is so stark because we have Hannah last
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: week who's like filling butterflies, still over each yeah, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: like does he like me? Does he not like me?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Am I worthy of is La Nanna? Here we have
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Nelly and Michael who are just like boom, yeah, we
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: like each other. Like there's an obvious attraction here, there's
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: no secrets about it. It's it makes it so easy
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to root for them as opposed to Hannah and chatterw
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: are like, let's move on with it already.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, I love the tone of this movie, and I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: love the way they use so many elements to communicate
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that tone. For example, okay, Nelly's closed, so good, her car,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the music. We have that opening scene where the unknown
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: masked marauders steals something, and we cut straight from that
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: scene to Nellie emerging from her house, which I'm pretty
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: sure mimics the first movie.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Feels familiar, but the music immediately jumps into like jaunty music,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and we know who we are. It's Nellie's music, it's
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: her soundtrack. It tells us exactly who she is and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: what the tone of the movie is. And I it's
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: just like a real quick change, and I loved it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Whoever's decision that was. I have some little elements of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: this movie that I really enjoyed. Go ahead.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I love that Nellie only ever talks to her grandmother
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: while she's walking with her walking club.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I love that little cast of characters.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I love that she's like, oh, just catching them walking by,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and she hops on in and has a little moment
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: with them. And that's where she meets Seli and all
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of this, And there's a lot of good lines in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: this movie, but I especially loved when they're like, oh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: should be good cop, bad cop? Who are you gonna be?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And then she goes, I'll be good cop. You seem
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to like you've already chosen bad cop.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: It was just such a great delivery. She's so fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: yeah totally. Here's a like that I have. This is
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: how you run an investigations. Again, I have to compare
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to last week's detective work over at the Lake Eden
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Hotel and in Spa whatever it was called.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Didn't this just feel like you're watching like Knives Out
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: or something where they're actually investigating as opposed to link
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: all this bumbling around.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Like yeah exactly. I was like, okay, Detective Hogan, like
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: he sat everybody down, he questioned everybody, he took samples,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and yeah, like this is what we see the crime
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to see what they might have missed. Yeah, I was like, this,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: this is how you do it. I also really enjoy
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Nelly and Fiona's relationship, even though we only see Fiona
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: like in the work aspect, but I love their friendship.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It feels real their playful ribbing of each other. It's
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: like a believable friendship. Yeah. Put Veronica Long, that's her name,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: who plays Fiona. Put her in more movies. Totally put
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: her in a lead movie. I think she's adorable. Yeah,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: let her out of the work, let her out of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the office. M two more things. I love the parade
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: of familiar faces, Laura Saltis, I always enjoy. I love
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that Crystal Low was in this movie. Yeah, I know
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you had told me a couple of weeks ago she
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: was in it, but she was not showing up on
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the IMDb right, And I was so thankful spoiler that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: she wasn't the bad guy, because it was clearly obvious
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the person who was stilling things at the beginning was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a woman. Oh I would like to talk about that
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: in a moment, okay, And I was like, oh, no,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: is it Crystal Low, Which would have been fine because
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: you can play against character, but whatever. I just was
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: glad that I got to see some Crystal Low on
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: my TV. And finally, Paul mcgillion once again plays a
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: real jerk. He was a jerk last week, he was
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a jerk this week. I don't remember him being is
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: he a jerk. He's just so rough around the edge.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Is rough around the edge, like he's not pleasant, He's
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: not warm, No, not at all. My final like is
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I did think the mystery kept me engaged. It was
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit convoluted away always, and I'm just making
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: peace with the fact that there's all They're gonna always
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: throw these details at me and just enjoy the ride. Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: just enjoy the ride. I always have to tell myself,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you don't have to figure it out. Yeah, so it
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: does not matter if the electricity went out or so. Anyway,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: those are my likes. Let's talk wishes. I have a few.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I only have two. Actually need too too. I wouldn't
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: mind more backstory on Michael. I love that Leo was
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: his ex. I didn't love that it was his ex wife.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I almost wish it was like his ex girlfriend. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: don't know. I was like, oh, they have all this
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: history and he's hiding from her, like as an ex bows,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like you issue you would be like anyway.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: But I also need some more backstory on Nelly too,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Like I don't remember the first movie because it's been
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: so long, but I don't remember any backstory on her
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: at all. No.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: All I really know about Nellie is she writes the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Nelly Knows column and she knows everybody and knows everything.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And that's just kind of her thing is She's like
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Bumbleton's the name of the town. I don't remember anyway,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that's her thing is that she knows everybody in the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: same Vein the fact that Michael and his ex wife,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta go have closure with her. What
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: have you been doing for the past several years since
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you've been divorced? I don't understand.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like how is your divorce? So like, okay, bye,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and we never just like, hey, let's move on peacefully
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: with our lives, no harm, no foul. I thought that
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: was odd. In the beginning of a movie, when Nellie
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: arrives at work, Fiona says like, how's it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Going with Detective Dreamy? Have you seen him around? And
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Ellie's like, oh, once in a while. Here's the problem
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that is not the fault of the writers or the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: director or anybody involved in the making of this movie,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and it is only on the back end. How long
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: has it been what's the timeline here, because it's been
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: two years since we got the first installment of Nelly
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Know's mysteries. This movie was filmed a year ago in
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: April twenty twenty five. It's now March twenty twenty six
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: for anybody who's paying attention. And that's the only thing
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I think that's working against this movie is that it's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: been so long that even you and I, who do
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: this for eight job, had to revisit our review and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: be like, what's happening here? And so that works against
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: this a little bit. But I thought, overall this was
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: great and I would like to talk.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: To you to see that. All right, go ahead, this is.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: My Crystal Low thought. I watched this on the screener
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and the still image of the movie on the screener
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is of Nellie and Michael with the character of Crystal
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Low standing behind them, like, oh, oh, so when we
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the scene, That's how I knew Crystal Low was in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: it before I had seen it. When the movie opens,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the first thing we see is a small obviously a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: woman breaking into the home, and I thought, oh, that's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Crystal Low because it looked like Crystal Low in what
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: we could see. And then we hear her speak to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the dog, and I'm like, oh, it's a woman's voice
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that's a woman must be Crystal Low. Come to find
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: out it's not Crystal Low, but someone who, while masked,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: could appear to be like Crystal Low.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, threw me off, is all I'm saying. On purpose.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, yes, I have two other little ones.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: At the beginning of the movie, she arrives at work
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and she's like, Fiona's like, you got fifteen minutes, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: she's like, I actually have thirty, right, fine, But then
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the widow calls makes her come over, which is which
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is odd, but she just she leaves so she like
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't get her column turned in. She's like, I gotta
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: go and meet you with the widow, and I wanted
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: her to be like yo widow, let me finish up here.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: And like yo widow. Yeah yeah.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Anyway, the fact that they make it a point that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: they're like your columns do and then she's like just
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: kidding you gotta go, yeah, supervise a dinner party.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who's odd? Why did you see that? Are the
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: manner look like the same one from the wedding cottage,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the maybe the wedding college. I don't know if it
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is or not. It's dreamy. It's just dreamy looking. It's
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: giving Nancy Myers on the outside, like I want to
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: be there. You mentioned Nelly's car earlier. One thing I
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: noticed is on her car as well as Detective Hogan's
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: car on the front the license plate, which were both
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: off center. They were like mounted off center. Like interesting. Yeah,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I just thought that was strange. Yes, that's all. My
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: only other did you see that is the widow keeps
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a loaded gun in the hallway. You know, this is
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: a very good point. I bumped on that too when
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: they talked about it. It's loaded. I was twenty twenty six.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? I know, I know in an
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: unlocked case. Yeah, it's very irresponsible gun ownership, in my opinion.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Send your emails to Hello at Girls Gone Hallmark dot com.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I'm the in Portland. Yeah, like we're in a very
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: progressive area. I know not all of Oregon is progressive,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: but Portland is. Anyway, what did you rate Nellie Knows Mysteries?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I really liked it. I gave it four
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: point two five stars, gave it four stores. I thought
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: it was great.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, rate loved them. I actually want more
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of these me too. This, I would say, is my
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: favorite of the currently airing mystery series.
• 21:28

• 21:31
