  Speaker 1: This is a bramble Jam podcast.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Girls Got a Hallmark or Hallmark Review Podcast.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I'm Mangan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I'm a former Hallmark hater. We're back with one of
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: your favorite episodes in regular rotation, and that is Hallmark Headlines,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: some breaking and recently broken news about Hallmark and Hallmark
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: related projects. Before we get into that, we're always asking
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you to leave a rating and a review of the podcast,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and I want to read a recent one. If you're
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: wondering what could I possibly write in a review, Lisa writes,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: why didn't I know? Okay, I do not know how
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I've gone so long without knowing about this awesome podcast.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Just discovered it kind of by accident. I'm a huge
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Hallmark movie fan, especially the Christmas movies. The Girls Call
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: One Hallmark podcast is excellent. It's so good. I sometimes
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: get a little frustrated listening to it because I want
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to join the conversation so badly. The reviews are spot on.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I especially love the Mailbag episodes, and I'm really looking
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: forward to the one coming up. I love the reviews
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of the latest Hallmark experiment. The Providence Falls trilogy. Their
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: reviews were as awesome as the movies. I prefer listening
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to their reviews after I've watched the movie so I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: can see how much I agree or disagree with them.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I pretty much always agree. They're funny and entertaining. If
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you haven't done so, and you're a Hallmark Channel fan,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: check it out. Lisa. She's our MVP. MVP.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: She's in our Facebook group. I know exactly who this
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: person is. Me too, She's very active in our Facebook group,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and I believe just recently got to be on the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: set of a movie. Several of our listeners are participating
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: as background actors in the opera movie. Do that?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I mean we could have we had to fly ourselves
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to Nashville. Yeah, that's far firm here a little bit
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for a day. But I would have done it. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: said take pictures, and they were like, no, you can't
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do that, You'll get booted. I was like, oh. Some
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: recently broken news. Per Deadline dot Com, Hallmark has eliminated
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: thirty rolls across various departments. This does follow the rehire
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of Michelle Vickory. Not blaming it on her, that's just
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the timeline who originally left the network in twenty twenty
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: one and has returned. Prior to that, she had been
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: with the network since its inception. In other cost cutting news,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Hallmark is moving away from their studio City office into
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: their Burbank office. Bumber's all around, bummer all.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Around, except for the Michelle Shell Vikory higher rehire. A
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: lot of people are feeling very optimistic about that news. Yes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but also over on Reddit, some people are suggesting that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: she's going to lean into reality TV over there more.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Look at Reddit is a hotbed of negativity, So if
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you want to join in over there, I suggest you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: check out the Hallmark channel sub thread because people hate
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the reality stuff. They hate the moves Hallmark is making.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And it's like this news from Deadline about Michelle and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: then the elimination of Roles.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It's just like open this big can of.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Worm of like what's wrong with Hallmark?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And I you know me. You think I'm a pessimist, right,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I feel optimistic. I thought I was a pessimist. No,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you're the realist. I know I think I'm an optimist.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I think you think I'm a pessimist. I think we
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: all have our moments. Well, look my bigger concern is
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I think Hallmark is trying to find its footage in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a world where cable is dying a slow death. I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: think the number that we saw, you know, from live
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: viewing on Hallmark this year, we're really indicative of that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's necessarily indicative of like.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: The viewership mm hm when you have like a streaming
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: network and you have I think Hallmark has maybe shot
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: itself in the floot a little bit with some changeover
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in terms of where it's available, like getting rid of Peacock.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: People didn't really understand Hallmark Plus. Things weren't always available.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think now hopefully we're in a good position where
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: people can either have the Hallmark channel or they can
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: have Hallmark Plus and that's where they're going to find everything. Yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you know, we recently had a really interesting conversation with
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Jacqueline Collier. I don't know if this particular part of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it is going to make the interview that we did
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: with her, but she had mentioned about Hallmark as a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: business and like right now people are like busy getting
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the day to day done, and she was talking about
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it's so great how they have executives there who can
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like pull back and look at the bigger picture of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: like where Hallmark is going. I think that's happening. But
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I also think like that stuff takes time. And so
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: when you have people who are like upset that there
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: aren't movies plane all day long, I think the reason
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is is because Hallmark is trying to save themselves.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're trying to figure out what their long term
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: plan for success is, and sometimes that means trying new things, right,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And I think you know, we also saw in this
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: past year the writing of the Ship after their plans
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: for Hallmark Plus don't seem to have gone the way
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that they had hoped that they would, you know, putting
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: all that exclusive content there. We don't have the numbers,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: but it must not have driven subscribers in the way
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that they were hoping, right, because they've changed course with that. So, Okay,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: they tried something that didn't work. We're changing courses. That's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the way business works.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: They still have to figure out what they're going to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: do because Cable's not going to like rebound, Yes, so
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I got.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: To figure it out. I'm excited have a new Michelle
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Vickery over there. I'm excited. I'm excited the fans are
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: super excited about this next bit of news. The third
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Three Wiser Men movie has been announced. One of our
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: eagle eyed listeners did send us that the production notice
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: lists the working title as Return to Winter Harvest. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we have a title, what is it? The Wisest Men,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: revealed by one Tyler Hines on his Instagram. Yeah, just
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a day or two ago. There are some clues in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: that teaser we get in the Tyler Hines Instagram. There's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a pregnant Andrew Walker's partner. In this video that Tyler posted,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: we have the whose teenage Wasteland playing in the background.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: This is where we get the reveal of the title
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Three Wisest Men. This article on Entertainment Now posts that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: fans notice some possible hints. So the men are dressed
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: in tuxes, which people are assuming might mean a wedding. Okay,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Sophie whose Luke's significant other? Andrew Walker is Luke. She
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: looks very pregnant in a hospital gown. We also get
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: them in a jail cell, so what's going on here?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Also we have wondered who are the writers on these movies?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Wendy Eagle Eye Wendy saw Russell Ane line comment WM three,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it's a whole new ballgame. Paul Campbell responds, there it is.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Now Could that be Russell just engaging with the cast
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and crew in which she has worked with before using
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the ball pun based on the ballpit. Maybe, perhaps, maybe
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: What are your feelings about this announcement, Wendy.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: My initial thoughts were I don't care because I thought
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the first movie was great, the second movie was okay.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, really, are we doing a third?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: But I do kind of like seeing a.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Little bit of the behind the scenes sneak peak stuff.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: How's my interests peaked? We will see, I said after movie.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Two, we don't need a third one on the review episode,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: But of course we will be watching it. We will
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: be reviewing it. Hope. I love it. I'd never wish
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a movie isn't enjoyable.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, I do recall watching that second movie
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: last year and laughing out loud at some stuff.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, it's a great team.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It's an excellent team from writers to directors to an
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ensemble cast that's really good and enjoyable to watch. So like,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: there's that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Now I'm a little bit worried.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Because I'm still waiting to see how many Christmas movies
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Hallmark is gonna put out this year? Is this gonna
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: be the one and only Tyler Heines movie? Is this
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: gonna be the one and only Andrew Walker movie? Paul Campbell,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Kimberly sas No, it's not. Kimberly sastad, It's not the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: one in only Tyler Hines.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Because our next bit of news is about it, Tyler
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Hines Christmas movie. We talk about it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yes in Holiday movie News, Aaron Craikou and Tyler Hines
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: will reunite for Christmas. Above the Clouds, our podcast counterpart,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Brand had a chance to talk to Tyler about this movie.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Oh and Brand's not here? Did you not realize what
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: was happening there?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We were originally going to.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Record this episode with Brand from Deck the Hallmark Fully
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: our scheduling change that required him not to be on
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: this episode. We will have Brand joining us next month
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: for a Headlines episode.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: We'll link the interview with the guys and Tyler.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: We absolutely will. The clips of it are hilarious because
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: my favorite part is Dan had no idea like that
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: this movie was coming. He didn't know what it was called.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: They just were there and Tyler was like holding their
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: hand through the whole thing. So we talked about this
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: movie be in our live episode from brample Cha.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, I know.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Look we recently If you haven't listened to our recent
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: review of it was always you again.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: We did that episode live at Bramblefest. You can listen
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to that. It's in our feed now. The takeaway from
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that for me is that Aaron and Tyler have fire chemistry.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: They're a great team. I'm really excited to see them
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: reunited on screen. This movie has a Christmas Carol vibe.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I love that story so and it's like set in
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: an airplane at least partly. It's going to be interesting
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to see how that could be interesting that plays out.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: So let me go back to my original question.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Is Andrew Walker going to be I'm trying to think
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in my notes, like, has he been attached to any
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: project for Christmas?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yet? I don't recall either. Y'all, we were so excited
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: about this latest news. People are a real split about it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But let me tell you, Hallmark has acquired the rights
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to air Gilmore Girls. The netnet for Hallmark movie fans
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: is that that does mean a reduction in the number
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: of movies re airing in the afternoons. Gilmore Girls has
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: begun airing. It began on Monday, August twenty fifth, runs
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: weekdays from two to six and weekends from eight to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: ten am. This is a linear only partnership, so we
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: are not getting streaming of Gilmore Girls on Hallmark Plus.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: It is currently streaming, I believe on both Hulu and Netflix.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, personally, I'm excited about where you are
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a Gilmore Girls super fan. I'm a big fan of
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls. I love this series. I'm excited to like
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I would love to see it bring new fans to
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the series.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you yesterday I turned it on in
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. It's like a great throw on show, just
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to have running in the background, just catch catch catching
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: that dialogue.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That is so good.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You are so right about it being split. I was
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: over on Reddit the other day and people are so
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: unhappy about Gilmore like literally, like I watched the first episode.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm out, and I was like, what give it a chance?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Like I will say, like, like any show, you got
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to give it like at three episodes at least.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this show had a twenty two episode first season.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to chew through.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: This show is a pop culture icon for a reason,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Like it wasn't just like Boy Meets World or whatever
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: freaking nonsense, Like you need to watch the show and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: pay attention to it. The writing is superior in this show,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and there's so many great references made, and I think
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: this audience of people it will land for.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Them if they just give it a chance. I mean,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a Hallmark audience is watching Sullivan's crossing. Scott Patterson's right there,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: He's right there. Yeah, so's Chad Michael Murray. Right.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Chad Michael Murray.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you didn't know, is in the first season
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of Gilmour Girls. Yeah, he is. Jimston.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, anyway, I'm I'm I'm excited that it's on Hallmark.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I can see why they acquired the rights to it. Hm.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: The only thing I hate is that it has commercials,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: because I have grown so accustomed to watching it on
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Netflix or Hulu without commercials.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: But it's so good, it's great, Give it a chance.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Our next headline, Luke McFarlane is developing a LGBTQ script
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: for Hallmark. We don't have any additional details about this.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts beyond it's about time.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: No, but I'm excited about this. Luke was on Watch
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: What Happens with Andy Cohen discussed his work on Hallmark.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: He was there promoting Platonic and then right after that
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: he announced his partnership that he's in development. To me,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I never know what that means, because like this is
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: announced in August? Is that enough? Like?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Could we be getting a Christmas movie?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: We could? I'd be amazing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Where in the development process are they? Is this a
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: something for next year? Quite possibly? We don't know. I
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: want to see Luke McFarlane in the countdown a Christmas
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: lineup this year, whether it's this project or another one.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I am dying for the full countdown. Like I cannot
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: handle the unknowns about the countdown to Christmas line up.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I think we got like two and a half weeks.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. Will we do a preview?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Eh?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we will all right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Over the weekend I was reading an article on Parade
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Parade Magazine Parade dot Com.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Predictions of the stars who will be on Dancing with
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the Stars.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yes.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And as I'm reading and I'm scrolling, scarreling, reading, reading
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and like names I have heard and then who comes
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: across one Wowie Zowie Victor Webster and I went what
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And it was very interesting because what the what the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: article said is like social media is not buzzing about
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: this actor, but got dot dot and then explained who
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Victor was, and I was like, yes, Hallmark needs a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: presence on Dancing with the Stars is eventually this time.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Did you see him tease something about it a couple
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. No, No, he made it dancing with
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the Stars reference in his stories and I I saw it,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and I wondered, like, is he just like that would
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: be fun or is he teeing us up for something
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I hope, I hope.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: He gets put on. It would be so good.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But you know me, I love Dancing with the Stars.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be doing my ten votes for him for.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Wowie z Awie. Yes, vote for Wowie z Awi. We
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: launch our own Girl's got one hollmemark campaign a.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: So freaking utely and you know I did share it
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: on our Instagram and did tag him. He is hit
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: or miss about like replying and our dms about like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: sev he did not reply to this one and I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: was like, maybe that means something. I don't know. My
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: next headline is about Ali Sweeney. Now, I have recently
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: watched the Netflix documentary that covered the show The Biggest Loser. Yeah,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I had completely forgotten that al Sweeney was the host
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on that show, and she's involved in this documentary. She
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: sits down for interviews in this documentary, and I was like,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: first of all, she seems so sweet and there are
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: times she's like, I can't believe I said that. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: can't believe I did this. It's very honest, honest, yes.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And then one of the contestants speaks about Ali Sweeney
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and about how Alex Sweeney is the nicest person to
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: ever and I'm like, oh, that makes me feel so good,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: because really it was about how terrible like the production, Yeah,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: about just you know, the whole thing. So anyway, I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: had didn't even realize Ali was the host of that

  Speaker 2: some Ashley Williams. I watched Two Tickets to Paradise.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: That is his absolute best moment. That's maybe my one
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and only favorite of his. Sure, but I think Ashley
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Williams carries that so, you know, heavy in the calm
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and I love it.

  Speaker 1: about the story? Nope? Are there details out yet?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: They did release some of the country stars that are appearing.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I think, I recall from my brain Niki's character has
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: something to do with her. It's about her her dad.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Her dad was a country star. I think along those lines.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I wonder how Chris fits into the role. We know
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that Nicky has a history of singing.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Will she perform in this?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I wonder?

• 19:33
  Speaker 2: some fun names. Yes, I'm pretty excited about this one.

• 19:40
  Speaker 2: has original music in the movie.

  Speaker 1: She did Santa Claus last year. She did my favorite
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: jingle bell run last year. This movie details are light.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I think it might potentially be based on a book
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: by the same name.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good guest.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: There are a couple books with very similar names to that,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: so maybe maybe I don't know anybody who's attached to it,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: though I hope it's good.
• 20:28
