Speaker 1: Like we mentioned, this week's episode is Don't Go Break
1:08
Speaker 1: in My Heart and Wendy, do you have a synopsis?
1:11
Speaker 2: I do? I am ready for it. Today, Miranda runs
1:15
Speaker 2: a boot camp for the recently broken hearted. She begins
1:18
Speaker 2: to form a connection with new client Ben, who is
1:20
Speaker 2: also a reporter investigating whether her boot Camp is a
1:24
Speaker 2: fad or a phenomenon. Starring Italia Ricci and Ryan Pavey,
1:31
Speaker 2: News and notes, I don't really have anything.
1:36
Speaker 1: No, oh, I have one thing again, of course, filmed
1:39
Speaker 1: in Canada, set in Portland. But one thing I would
1:43
Speaker 1: like to point out is Italia Ricci, who is the
1:44
Speaker 1: star of this movie. She has a super fun and
1:47
Speaker 1: highly relatable Instagram and I would recommend following her. I
1:50
Speaker 1: am enjoying her fan.
1:52
Speaker 2: Frea fantastic she was an designated survivor. Did you watch
1:56
Speaker 2: that show?
1:57
Speaker 1: I watched the first season and then I kind of
2:01
Speaker 1: dropped away. But then I saw that I think it
2:05
Speaker 1: was picked up as a Netflix series, like it was
2:07
Speaker 1: dropped from Network TV and then Netflix picked up and
2:09
Speaker 1: continued it. So I'm I enjoyed it.
2:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I only watched. I only watched the first season.
2:15
Speaker 2: After that, I didn't, I didn't really watch it. I mean,
2:18
Speaker 2: we have real life politics happening. Why do I need
2:20
Speaker 2: to watch a real you know politics, you know whatever
2:25
Speaker 2: going on?
2:25
Speaker 1: I mean, hello, I love the West Wing, so.
2:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, true, true, Okay. First impressions of this movie, Megan.
2:36
Speaker 1: Man, I'm real torn about my first impressions.
2:38
Speaker 3: Of this movie, I thought it was when we get
2:45
Speaker 3: to what we liked, I'll tell you what I think
2:47
Speaker 3: was the best part about this movie.
2:49
Speaker 1: I thought it was Okay, you loved it, and I.
2:57
Speaker 2: Liked it so so, so, so very much.
2:59
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, let's jump into what we liked, because I
3:04
Speaker 1: think that can I guess one of the things you
3:07
Speaker 1: loved about this movie? Sure, go ahead, I when I
3:11
Speaker 1: was ready. Now when I liked. One thing I liked
3:13
Speaker 1: that I thought you would also like was all of
3:15
Speaker 1: the activities happening in the movie, the ziplining, the rock climbing,
3:18
Speaker 1: the escape room. That there was a lot going on,
3:21
Speaker 1: and I felt that kept the story moving at a
3:24
Speaker 1: really nice clip.
3:25
Speaker 2: I would absolutely agree.
3:28
Speaker 1: Yes, what else did you like about this movie?
3:31
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I loved Miranda Italia Ricci's how
3:37
Speaker 2: you say her name, Italia, That's how I would say it, Okay.
3:40
Speaker 2: I thought she was so great as an actress. She
3:45
Speaker 2: wasn't like uh, Sometimes I have a hard time watching
3:50
Speaker 2: these actors in these movies, like it's a struggle to
3:55
Speaker 2: believe them. I believed her as Marie Randa. I really
4:03
Speaker 2: enjoyed Ryan Babe, so he was in that Christmas movie
4:09
Speaker 2: where it was a time travel and he came back
4:12
Speaker 2: from like I don't know, and he was a little
4:14
Speaker 2: stiff and weird, like because his character was very like
4:19
Speaker 2: uncomfortable with being in twenty twenty or you know, current
4:23
Speaker 2: day or whatever, right, So it was hard to see,
4:27
Speaker 2: Like I've never seen him in anything else besides that
4:30
Speaker 2: movie and this one, and I kind of thought he
4:32
Speaker 2: had the same kind of like cadence when he talked,
4:35
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, maybe that's just who he
4:37
Speaker 2: is as an actor. So I wish he was like
4:40
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit more loose is the way that.
4:43
Speaker 1: I did want to like shake him a little bit,
4:45
Speaker 1: like yeah, right exactly.
4:48
Speaker 2: But I enjoyed him as well, and I find him
4:52
Speaker 2: very easy to look at, so that makes it so
4:55
Speaker 2: much easier to watch.
4:57
Speaker 1: I agree with what you say about Italia Ricci being very,
5:00
Speaker 1: very believable as Miranda, Like I could see her on
5:02
Speaker 1: the morning shows talking about her Breakup boot Camp. One
5:05
Speaker 1: hundred percent would have believed that. The news and note
5:09
Speaker 1: that we forgot is that this movie had a last
5:11
Speaker 1: minute name change. It was originally called Breakup boot Camp
5:14
Speaker 1: and was changed to Don't Go Breaking my Heart very
5:17
Speaker 1: close to the release date. I don't know what drives
5:20
Speaker 1: these decisions, but that did happen.
5:23
Speaker 2: I think they should have kept it Breakup boot Camp.
5:25
Speaker 2: Me too, Like, I don't understand why the name changed
5:30
Speaker 2: Don't Go Break in my Heart Like I yeah, I
5:33
Speaker 2: just wish they did not change. Actually, I don't care
5:36
Speaker 2: that they changed the name of this movie, but I
5:38
Speaker 2: think Breakup boot Camp would have been a perfectly fine
5:41
Speaker 2: name for this movie.
5:42
Speaker 1: I agree. I think Don't Go Break in my Heart
5:44
Speaker 1: centers it more on the action of the characters together
5:47
Speaker 1: as opposed to Miranda's specific business, right, because Breakup boot
5:53
Speaker 1: Camp isn't about Ben at all, even though he's in it.
5:55
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, I don't think the argument being
5:58
Speaker 1: made either way.
6:00
Speaker 2: Let it be about Miranda and Miranda's right, It's okay, yeah, yeah,
6:05
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be a mutual like story. It
6:09
Speaker 2: could be Miranda's story. It doesn't have to be Miranda
6:12
Speaker 2: and Ben's story.
6:14
Speaker 1: Hey, I loved that this movie was really funny.
6:17
Speaker 2: Uh Okay, First of all, I wrote down I love
6:21
Speaker 2: some of the lines. Shout out to Nina Weinman for
6:24
Speaker 2: writing a script that includes conversations and lines that real
6:28
Speaker 2: people would actually be sane and having.
6:32
Speaker 1: Yes, I liked the ruth the cat with shared custody.
6:35
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was hilarious.
6:38
Speaker 1: I liked when Miranda told Ben that a nine year
6:40
Speaker 1: old could take him while he was rock climbing.
6:42
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
6:42
Speaker 1: I just thought there was And I think the characters,
6:46
Speaker 1: especially Miranda, she was really good at just kind of
6:49
Speaker 1: these dry, like throwaway lines that on their own when
6:52
Speaker 1: you repeat them, aren't that funny. But I think she
6:55
Speaker 1: just that I enjoyed her humor.
6:57
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree. One of my favorite line was when
7:00
Speaker 2: he's like telling Miranda how he met his ex girlfriend's
7:04
Speaker 2: new guy, and he's like, he called me bro, and
7:06
Speaker 2: I almost died.
7:08
Speaker 1: I almost died.
7:10
Speaker 2: And I agree with you that Italian Ricci was able
7:14
Speaker 2: to like sell these like kind of like you said,
7:17
Speaker 2: dry lines, like with like her face and her expression
7:22
Speaker 2: and like just of who she was as a as
7:25
Speaker 2: a character. I just I loved it so much. Anything
7:29
Speaker 2: else that you liked, I did, Yes, yes, yes, yes,
7:32
Speaker 2: I legitimately thought that these two had chemistry. This is
7:38
Speaker 2: a big, big sticking point for me, Like I have
7:42
Speaker 2: a hard time investing in these like romantic comedies when
7:45
Speaker 2: I don't feel like there's any actual like sexual tension
7:52
Speaker 2: between like the two characters. Now, if I compare it
7:55
Speaker 2: to last week's I felt that that those two in
7:59
Speaker 2: that Waterfall Me were ice cold. In this movie, I
8:03
Speaker 2: felt there was actual chemistry between the two characters. And
8:06
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's casting or if it's because
8:09
Speaker 2: these are two seasoned actors or what, but I very
8:15
Speaker 2: much felt it, like when they were dancing and a
8:17
Speaker 2: dipter and you know, I just yeah, I was into it.
8:23
Speaker 2: I was into it. I was also into the beautiful
8:26
Speaker 2: exterior shots of Portland. I've been to Portland many, many,
8:30
Speaker 2: many times, so I appreciated that they kind of showed
8:33
Speaker 2: some kind of like landmark things. The only thing is, though,
8:38
Speaker 2: of course, this was filmed in British Columbia, and they
8:43
Speaker 2: had all these scenes where they're like on the water,
8:46
Speaker 2: and as many times it felt more like Seattle than
8:49
Speaker 2: it didn't Organ to me, because yeah, I don't know,
8:53
Speaker 2: but whatever, if you've never been to Portland, Organ, you
8:56
Speaker 2: wouldn't know. You wouldn't be any smarter, Noneweiser, What were
9:00
Speaker 2: the saying is.
9:02
Speaker 1: I really liked that Miranda's breakup boot camp business felt
9:06
Speaker 1: like a real thing that could exist. Sometimes these businesses
9:11
Speaker 1: and endeavors in these movies, you're like, how does this
9:15
Speaker 1: thing like the Christmas museum that opens on Christmas Eve?
9:17
Speaker 1: Like how thing a suggest? I felt like they really
9:21
Speaker 1: fleshed out the business really well to make it believable,
9:26
Speaker 1: Like they showed all of the steps, and I thought like,
9:29
Speaker 1: I could totally see this being a thing, don't. I
9:32
Speaker 1: thought they did a great job of not just creating
9:36
Speaker 1: the business, but making it believable and figuring out all
9:39
Speaker 1: the moving parts of it.
9:41
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree because I was thinking, I was like,
9:45
Speaker 2: if I was ever like in a long term relationship
9:48
Speaker 2: or not, you know, and ended up heartbroken, would I
9:52
Speaker 2: go to some sort of boot camp? Yes? I would
9:54
Speaker 2: because that kind of like uh self h improvement. This
10:00
Speaker 2: stuff kind of interests me. So yes, this could be it,
10:03
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it is probably a legitimate business.
10:07
Speaker 1: Well, and I think they did a good job of
10:09
Speaker 1: connecting the activities to the message, right. It didn't make
10:15
Speaker 1: you guess like why are they doing this? Ropes course
10:17
Speaker 1: and she's like, look how strong you are, Look how
10:19
Speaker 1: far you've come. You know, I just thought you couldn't
10:22
Speaker 1: you know it. You could have felt that was silly.
10:25
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. I thought they did a
10:27
Speaker 1: good job of it. Seemed like they had done their
10:30
Speaker 1: research into kind of the psychology of recovering from a
10:34
Speaker 1: brain right, right.
10:35
Speaker 2: And speaking of like the boot camp, the uh, the
10:39
Speaker 2: character who she goes this is my second time taking
10:42
Speaker 2: it because apparently six weeks isn't enough for a thirty
10:45
Speaker 2: year marriage, and I was like, what is I'm dying.
10:49
Speaker 2: I'm dying, I'm dying. I loved it and thought it
10:53
Speaker 2: was totally believable. My last favorite thing was that they
10:57
Speaker 2: had a Sean Mendes at the end of the movie.
11:02
Speaker 2: Did you catch that?
11:03
Speaker 1: I did not?
11:04
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, okay, I know. I've come on here
11:09
Speaker 2: week after week after week, and sometimes I shit on
11:12
Speaker 2: these Hallmark movies of being as fake movies. Right. There
11:18
Speaker 2: was just something about this movie that made it feel
11:24
Speaker 2: like a real movie opposed to like a cheesy rom com.
11:29
Speaker 2: And having a real song that is like a popular
11:35
Speaker 2: song right now being played in the movie made it
11:40
Speaker 2: feel like it was like I was watching a real
11:42
Speaker 2: movie that had like a budget behind it, and it
11:45
Speaker 2: wasn't just thrown together because they needed content for their
11:50
Speaker 2: Spring Fling lineup.
11:51
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I think all of those activities like
11:55
Speaker 1: going to the rock claiming gym, going to the ropes course,
11:57
Speaker 1: going to the escape room. I think all of that
11:59
Speaker 1: led weight to the movie. Also because they had to
12:03
Speaker 1: scout all these locations. It wasn't like they took a
12:06
Speaker 1: store and they turned it into a B and B
12:08
Speaker 1: by making one corner a bedroom in one corner a
12:10
Speaker 1: living room in one corner, the check in area right
12:14
Speaker 1: like they had at all of these real locations. And
12:17
Speaker 1: I agree with you that all those things add up
12:21
Speaker 1: to give this movie a little bit of weight right
12:23
Speaker 1: right time for uh oh. Roadblocks placed in the way
12:27
Speaker 1: of our movie couple.
12:29
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the biggest one is is Ben's gonna run
12:32
Speaker 2: an expose on her boot camp. And it felt very
12:37
Speaker 2: much like How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days,
12:39
Speaker 2: Yeah a little Bit, which is one of my favorite movies,
12:43
Speaker 2: and every time it's on and I flip by it,
12:45
Speaker 2: I will stop and watch it. I really enjoy that movie.
12:49
Speaker 2: So obviously that was like a huge roadblock into like
12:53
Speaker 2: their budding relationship.
12:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had, uh oh, Ben doesn't really believe than
13:00
Speaker 1: Miranda's program.
13:02
Speaker 2: Well even at times, like he was jokingly calling it
13:04
Speaker 2: a cult, which I thought was quite funny.
13:10
Speaker 1: And then I wrote, Oh, Ben has a bruised heart
13:12
Speaker 1: from a recent breakup, come up, but does he really right?
13:16
Speaker 2: He didn't seem to take it that hard when like
13:18
Speaker 2: she dumped him at the beginning of that movie.
13:21
Speaker 1: Right, and then we learned later on that it's not
13:24
Speaker 1: really her that he's dealing with but a past relationship
13:28
Speaker 1: ye engaged. I just didn't really buy him as broken hearted.
13:32
Speaker 1: I think he was kind of along for the ride.
13:34
Speaker 2: But yeah, well he was really there with you know,
13:37
Speaker 2: at the ask of a sister, which I enjoyed. Like,
13:42
Speaker 2: this is what I like about when movies have like
13:44
Speaker 2: when characters have other people, like he had his sister
13:49
Speaker 2: and Miranda had her business partner, and you know, there's
13:53
Speaker 2: a greater conversations to be had and it's not just
13:58
Speaker 2: like centered on like two people. So I enjoyed like
14:01
Speaker 2: the sister going through her you know, breakup boot camp,
14:04
Speaker 2: and even the morning guy who was there. Think, yes,
14:11
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that as well. I was invested in these
14:14
Speaker 2: characters and that's what made me like it so much.
14:17
Speaker 1: Well, you know what's funny is I think a lot
14:20
Speaker 1: of these movies have these side characters, and sometimes they
14:22
Speaker 1: struggle to give them a storyline and they end up
14:25
Speaker 1: adding all of these other storylines and there's too much
14:27
Speaker 1: to follow. Every single one of these side characters had
14:30
Speaker 1: a storyline that fed the main storyline, right, and the
14:33
Speaker 1: puzzle pieces fit together so nicely that it wasn't like
14:36
Speaker 1: we had the sister and we had the business partner
14:39
Speaker 1: off doing their own thing. They all kind of worked together.
14:43
Speaker 1: And I think that's a skill that a good writer
14:46
Speaker 1: can do, and not everybody is a great writer, as
14:49
Speaker 1: we've seen in some of these movies, Like they know
14:51
Speaker 1: we need to have these supporting characters, we can't quite
14:54
Speaker 1: figure out how to give them a role that serves
14:56
Speaker 1: the story.
14:57
Speaker 2: And they did a great job in this agreed. Did
15:00
Speaker 2: you have any other oh, roadblocks?
15:03
Speaker 1: I did not. What did you wish for?
15:05
Speaker 2: I wished for? And this is just kind of a
15:07
Speaker 2: side note, but I liked how it was handled in
15:11
Speaker 2: these movies. I do not want people to fall in
15:14
Speaker 2: love so quickly, right. These are she is a divorcee, right,
15:21
Speaker 2: and he was almost engaged like so they're like of
15:25
Speaker 2: a certain age. They're not like twenty year olds who
15:27
Speaker 2: are gonna fall in love in one week. You know,
15:29
Speaker 2: there's there's baggage and there's concern and boundaries and whatever.
15:35
Speaker 2: So I just wish that like characters don't like be like, yes,
15:40
Speaker 2: I'm in love with you. And I thought it was
15:42
Speaker 2: handled in this movie pretty well, like they were like
15:45
Speaker 2: we're friends, were and he's like did you friend zone me?
15:48
Speaker 2: And like, you know, so like they they knew how
15:52
Speaker 2: to like, you know, stay friendly, but they did have
15:56
Speaker 2: like romantic feelings for it. So but in the end,
16:01
Speaker 2: like I just don't love when they're like, yes, you're
16:04
Speaker 2: my new boyfriend. So I think I wished for like
16:09
Speaker 2: maybe not like a love story, even though this is
16:15
Speaker 2: what these movies are.
16:16
Speaker 1: You have to play a little more build up, like
16:18
Speaker 1: they yeah, they're just figuring it out now.
16:21
Speaker 2: I do like at the end, how, especially in this movie,
16:24
Speaker 2: how they're like three months later, you know, so like
16:27
Speaker 2: it looks like, okay, yes we're taking some time and
16:30
Speaker 2: now he hears where we're at. Yes, that was a
16:34
Speaker 2: lot to be said, But what did you wish for?
16:37
Speaker 1: I wished that Ben had shown that he felt a
16:41
Speaker 1: little bit more conflicted about writing this article.
16:45
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he.
16:48
Speaker 1: Clearly knew that it could potentially be a problem based
16:52
Speaker 1: on the conversations he had with his boss. And then
16:54
Speaker 1: when Miranda shows up at his work and he gives
16:56
Speaker 1: his boss like very obvious like don't say anything to
16:59
Speaker 1: her eyes. But in none of his interactions with Miranda,
17:03
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes they show that by like she walks
17:06
Speaker 1: away and they make like a confused, frustrated fit, you know,
17:09
Speaker 1: like he feels like, oh, maybe I'm having this great
17:12
Speaker 1: time with her. She trusts me, and I'm going to
17:15
Speaker 1: betray that. And I don't feel that I ever got
17:19
Speaker 1: the feeling that he felt particularly bad about the consequences
17:25
Speaker 1: and what he was doing right right, And then of
17:28
Speaker 1: course he ends up writing like a glowing review of
17:30
Speaker 1: her boot camp. It's funny as like somebody me who writes,
17:36
Speaker 1: I also write from like a pessimistic viewpoint on things,
17:44
Speaker 1: And I can see like how you know he's writing
17:48
Speaker 1: because that's what's going to get read. He's not writing
17:51
Speaker 1: like a glowing review of something, So yes, they should
17:55
Speaker 1: have showed him being more conflicted, like he has feelings
17:58
Speaker 1: for this girl and and her boot camp is working,
18:02
Speaker 1: so how am I gonna write an expose about it? Yeah,
18:08
Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah, I honestly thought she forgave him too quickly.
18:11
Speaker 1: And I know the movie has to end, but I
18:15
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty shady what he was doing and
18:19
Speaker 1: whether he you know, he didn't go in with that intention,
18:22
Speaker 1: but he had plenty of opportunity to say, hey, my
18:25
Speaker 1: boss found out I'm here and they'd like me to
18:27
Speaker 1: write an article. I know it kind of I don't know.
18:30
Speaker 1: I thought it was shady, and as much as I
18:32
Speaker 1: wanted them to end up together, a lot of times
18:35
Speaker 1: I feel like there's manufactured drama in these movies. I
18:38
Speaker 1: felt like this was real drama, and I didn't I
18:41
Speaker 1: didn't like that he had did he had done that.
18:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know what would have been cool is
18:49
Speaker 2: if she found out was like, look, dude, this is
18:52
Speaker 2: this is going to like ruin my reputation, my livelihood, Like,
18:57
Speaker 2: you know, he just couldn't believe that there was so
19:00
Speaker 2: much success from it. So yeah, I understand, I agree.
19:04
Speaker 2: I think that that would have been an interesting part
19:08
Speaker 2: of the story if they would have expanded a little
19:10
Speaker 2: bit more on that.
19:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about did you see that?
19:14
Speaker 2: Okay, I only have one huge one, Yeah, and it
19:20
Speaker 2: was the Noom.
19:21
Speaker 1: Sign yes, top of my list.
19:26
Speaker 2: I fully had to rewind it because I was like,
19:29
Speaker 2: is that actually a Noom sign? And then I was like, hmm,
19:32
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's just there in the place that
19:35
Speaker 2: they're shooting and that's coincidence. And then of course here
19:37
Speaker 2: comes the commercial. Yeah, no way, that was really funny. Yes,
19:44
Speaker 2: we kind of interesting though, because the Noom program is
19:48
Speaker 2: not just like a diet program. It's a it's like
19:50
Speaker 2: a psychology program, like the psychology of eating, which goes
19:55
Speaker 2: very well with the theme of the movie. You know.
19:59
Speaker 2: I I thought it was a good product placement.
20:02
Speaker 1: Actually, that's a good point. I had a couple others
20:07
Speaker 1: when Ben and Miranda run into Ben's ex Jennifer I
20:12
Speaker 1: believe is her name, and she goes, this isn't what
20:14
Speaker 1: it looks like. We're just going to lunch, and I
20:16
Speaker 1: was like, who cares, guys are broken up, you're not naked.
20:20
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they were so awkward. I mean,
20:25
Speaker 1: I could understand, it's still awkward, but all you just
20:27
Speaker 1: say is I don't know hi, and that's the end
20:29
Speaker 1: of it. This isn't what it looks like.
20:31
Speaker 2: Well, Ben was with a woman too, You didn't hear
20:34
Speaker 2: him say like, this is not what it looks like,
20:35
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, that was funny.
20:38
Speaker 1: When Ben meets Miranda for the first time at the
20:41
Speaker 1: valets stand, Miranda goes, do you want to talk about it?
20:43
Speaker 1: And I thought, no way, no, no, you're not asking
20:47
Speaker 1: that question to the dude of the ballet stand.
20:49
Speaker 2: I get it. What I appreciated about that scene is
20:52
Speaker 2: that they looked like they were in front of like
20:54
Speaker 2: a real restaurant, and if anybody knows anything about Portland,
20:57
Speaker 2: it's like a super foody city. So like, I like
20:59
Speaker 2: that they were like at like what looked like a
21:03
Speaker 2: cool looking restaurant type place. But yeah, like to get
21:08
Speaker 2: into this full on conversation, like she was like head
21:11
Speaker 2: shrinking him or whatever, right, And I don't know, I
21:15
Speaker 2: don't know. I kind of did like how they organically
21:18
Speaker 2: met because you never saw her in the restaurant, right,
21:22
Speaker 2: So I liked the direction the movie took in that
21:27
Speaker 2: kind of scene.
21:28
Speaker 1: In that scene in the rock climbing gym, is Miranda
21:31
Speaker 1: tying her own climbing knots?
21:34
Speaker 2: I think she was.
21:36
Speaker 1: I was very impressed.
21:38
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know anything about rock climbing, neither
21:40
Speaker 2: do I. I thought it was very funny how she
21:43
Speaker 2: was getting him so much crap about because he couldn't
21:45
Speaker 2: like get up. It would take me an hour to
21:48
Speaker 2: scale that wall, so let's just be honest.
21:51
Speaker 1: But when they switched walls and he goes to the
21:53
Speaker 1: second wall and he's like, I'm done. His foot is
21:55
Speaker 1: literally hovering directly above a step, like he could have
21:59
Speaker 1: got Like all do was put his foot down. He
22:01
Speaker 1: could have gone up a little bit more. But he's like,
22:03
Speaker 1: I can't do it.
22:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like he was not fit, Like he
22:07
Speaker 2: is a fit man. Naturally, he could have easily pulled
22:10
Speaker 2: himself up on this wall. Absolutely, absolutely, I don't know
22:17
Speaker 2: if you noticed. And this is just it just hits
22:21
Speaker 2: me in the heart of wanting to have own my
22:24
Speaker 2: own little coffee car or hot dog stand. Those things
22:27
Speaker 2: were so cute. I want a hot dog stand in
22:32
Speaker 2: my neighborhood. I want an outdoor coffee stand that I
22:34
Speaker 2: can just walk up to. Yeah, did these things exist?
22:39
Speaker 1: They're in the middle of the city. I mean they
22:41
Speaker 1: exist in the middle of a city.
22:44
Speaker 2: Do they? So? Like, if I go to Los Angeles,
22:46
Speaker 2: will those things be there?
22:47
Speaker 1: I mean there's street meat. I don't know. If you
22:49
Speaker 1: want to eat up. But yeah, there's hot.
22:51
Speaker 2: I enjoy street meat in New York, so as do I. Okay,
22:56
Speaker 2: don't be trying to shame me with the street meat.
23:00
Speaker 1: It always smells amazing.
23:01
Speaker 2: I know, I know you're right. There are hot dog
23:04
Speaker 2: stands in Los Angeles.
23:06
Speaker 1: I mean, like, if you've ever left the Hollywood Bowl,
23:08
Speaker 1: you can smell yeah stands like as you're leaving.
23:11
Speaker 2: I know, didn't we buy a hot dog in New
23:14
Speaker 2: York from a truck?
23:15
Speaker 1: We did? Sure, we did. I definitely had a hot
23:17
Speaker 1: dog in New York from a truck.
23:19
Speaker 2: But I just wanted to be cute. I want food,
23:21
Speaker 2: but cute, you know, and I want it in my city.
23:25
Speaker 1: So yeah, at the end of your streets that you
23:27
Speaker 1: can just walk to.
23:28
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, like, honey, let's go for a walk and
23:31
Speaker 2: like pick up a hot dog and a latte. I
23:34
Speaker 2: don't know anyway, a hot dog and a lante. That
23:37
Speaker 2: sounds awful. I know that sounds awful about a hot dog,
23:42
Speaker 2: and I have iced coffee that still still sounds terrible.
23:48
Speaker 1: What else do I have? Okay? They talk about the
23:51
Speaker 1: fine print several times, and even Ben's boss brings it
23:54
Speaker 1: up to him but does that ever play out?
23:56
Speaker 2: Never?
23:57
Speaker 1: No, I didn't think so, and I wonder if it's
24:00
Speaker 1: just something that got cut where maybe there was something
24:04
Speaker 1: where like you don't discuss the specifics of her program.
24:07
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Yeah, but I thought it was interesting. They
24:13
Speaker 1: made such a big deal out of it more than once.
24:16
Speaker 1: And the last thing I have is that Dex Miranda's
24:19
Speaker 1: ex husband is a little intense, like she likes his
24:22
Speaker 1: photo and he's like, we need to talk.
24:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was super weird because we don't did they
24:26
Speaker 2: ever say how long they had been divorced?
24:30
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't track it.
24:32
Speaker 2: If they did, Well, she's like totally creeping on his
24:34
Speaker 2: Instagram and then accidentally hits like you know the part
24:39
Speaker 2: or whatever. But yeah, the phone call like we need
24:41
Speaker 2: to talk, Well, he just needed to tell her that
24:43
Speaker 2: he was getting married. But still it was right.
24:46
Speaker 1: It does pan out to be a real reason, but
24:48
Speaker 1: like he shows upout her work and he keeps calling her,
24:51
Speaker 1: and I was like, dude, saw your role, Like it's
24:54
Speaker 1: just like come to find out. He wanted to be
24:56
Speaker 1: the one to tell her he was getting married, which
24:58
Speaker 1: I appreciated, and I like that she got to have
25:01
Speaker 1: that moment I'm like, oh, I'm actually just happy for you.
25:04
Speaker 1: So what did you rate this movie? I?
25:08
Speaker 2: Okay, Like I told you last week, I am rating
25:11
Speaker 2: these movies in the spring. Fleeing Cannon Only and Don't
25:16
Speaker 2: Go Break In My Heart gets three and a half stars.
25:19
Speaker 1: Whoa, I gave it three.
25:21
Speaker 2: I liked it so so, so very much.
25:25
Speaker 1: Well, that makes me happy.
25:27
Speaker 2: I just thought it was different. It just felt like
25:30
Speaker 2: a different movie. It didn't follow the same kind of patterns,
25:34
Speaker 2: but it did. I don't know. I enjoyed it quite
25:37
Speaker 2: a bit. Can we talk about One Perfect Wedding?
25:40
Speaker 1: Okay, it is a trilogy.
25:43
Speaker 2: This is the third in a series. I've never seen
25:46
Speaker 2: the other two obviously, do you know what the other
25:50
Speaker 2: two are? The two other movies are One Winter Weekend
25:56
Speaker 2: and Winter Proposal, And now we have One Perfect Wedding.
26:02
Speaker 1: All right, guys, we'll be back next week. Of course,
26:03
Speaker 1: on Tuesday we have our regular podcast episode, and then
26:06
Speaker 1: Thursday we'll be here to discuss One Perfect Wedding, the
26:10
Speaker 1: third movie in Hallmark Sprinkling, and also the third movie
26:13
Speaker 1: in a trilogy. So we will list those movies in
26:16
Speaker 1: the show notes. If you feel like catching up on
26:17
Speaker 1: the first two before the final movie. It would be
26:20
Speaker 1: smart if they aired them like one right after another. Right,
26:23
Speaker 1: but we may be going into this one blind, who knows,
26:27
Speaker 1: so it will be interesting to see our thoughts on
26:29

26:32
Speaker 1: two movies, so come back for that. If you have
26:34
