  Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a bonus episode
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of Long Story short the podcast I'm Megan, I'm Wendy.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Today on the podcast, we're discussing the final installment of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the Wedding Veil series, The Wedding Veil Legacy, starring our girl,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Ali Sweeney. Our girl a little housekeeping before we jump
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: into our thoughts on this movie. You can find us
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: outside of the podcast on Instagram, on Twitter, on TikTok.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: We're at Megan and Wendy in all of those places,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and you can also join our Facebook group, which is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Long Story Shorties.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Also send us your emails Megan and Wendy at gmail
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: dot com. We love to hear your thoughts on these movies.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Do you agree disagree with our reviews? Send them our away.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I have an email about the Wedding Veil Legacy. Okay,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it's from Joyce, who says love the concept of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Wedding Veil trilogy and enjoyed the first two in the series,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: especially the Italy segment. Terrific storyline with a good dose
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of mystery sprinkled in. Had a hard time wrapping my
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: head around the final episode in the trilogy, with the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: two actors seriously miscast as Mama and Nana. More than disappointing,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it was beyond ethnically offensive. The exaggerated voices and hand
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: gestures were straight up laughable. And did I mention offensive
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: because yeah, it was as if every Italian shows up
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with a box of Canoli. I expected more from Homewark.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They gave new meaning to stereotype. You lost me on
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this one. Wow, very good points.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Actually I did not even notice those things, so I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: may have to go back and rewatch through that.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Lens. I read this email prior to watching the movie,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and so I did watch the movie through that Lens.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't find it offensive, but I am not Italian,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: so I don't get to decide whether or not this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is an offensive take. I do believe the actress who
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: plays Mama is Italian. I don't know about the actress
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: who plays Nana, but that's all I know, So I'm
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: curious to hear everyone else's take on that. I actually
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: have another comment later in the episode about some stereotyping.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, great time for news and notes, hm. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have some overall Hallmark news and notes that is related
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to the Wedding Veil trilogy. As a whole. Okay, did
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you hear that Lacy Shabert signed a multi year contract
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: with Hallmark to headline and produce films and other content.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: That's their wording, and I am very much here for this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Oh me too.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that, but I'm not surprised because her
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: movies the last like two years have like brought in
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: major numbers, like far exceeding Candice Cameron's number.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So it feels pretty clear to me that she's the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: queen of Hallmark these days. Yes, yes, yes, yes, agree. Wow,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that's exciting. What else? Well, back to this movie. We
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: are back in the Great White North in Canada for
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: this movie. We are not in beautiful Italy in this anymore.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I think they're trying to make it look like they're
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: in New York. And each movie in the series was
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: filmed in fifteen days, and one thing I found interesting
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is that the actresses who weren't the key players had
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: some downtime even though they weren't necessarily there for the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: full two weeks, they were on set for their scenes
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and they would get to hang out because the two
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that weren't the leads. So that's kind of fun. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: think and even the actresses themselves commented that in one
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hotel they were staying cross the hall from each other,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and that's not an experience they usually have because even
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: though they work for the same network, they typically don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: work together.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what I love about this movie trilogy,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: is that we get these like big players together. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: had read that one of the gals had said that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the real true love of the movie is that the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: love and friendship between these female characters, and I thought
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that it was very relevant on screen that they got
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: along very well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I have that note as well, and that's in my
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: liked section. But I just said, I am here for
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: more examples of love that's not romantic love. And I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: would even say that it would be okay for Hallmark
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to make a movie where the heart of the movie
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: isn't a romantic love story.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm I would love that kind of stuff, right, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: would love that stuff, especially movies, because you know a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: majority of women watch these movies, show movies where women
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: are supporting other women. Like, let's get that narrative out there,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: like let's get in our entertainment.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm totally here for that. Take the example of the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: movie Frozen. The heart of that story is not the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Anna and Christoph love story, It's the Anna and Elsa's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: sister love story. Yeah, totally true.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, did you know that they were gonna call this
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: movie Wedding Veil Wishes Tracy's story?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: That sounds like an afterschool special because it feels like
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the title of a Babysitters Club book. Oh, that's funny.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We talked about this in last week's episode. You were
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: talking about like the numbers that these movies were pulling in.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I had read that the first two installments, the Wedding
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Veil one and two, helped to attract the network's highest
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: ratings for a non holiday movie in over a decade.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. It is what else you got? There was
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: an e online story about the Wedding Veale trilogy being
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: inspired by the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and to that,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I say.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Duh, didn't see that coming. Yeah, I mean that was
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: like somebody's childhood movie and they're like, how can I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: how can I make a Hallmark movie about that?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Indeed, what can you tell me about Victor Webster?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He plays Nick and we have seen him, you and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I have seen him in working moms and younger.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: That's right. He plays a jerk on working Moms, right,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. To be honest, I think he plays
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the man that the lead mom, the brunette, long haired
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: mom has an affair with, has an affair slash fling with.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I think she might already be divorced at that point
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: or separated. But I think he turns out to be
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a jerk. Yeah, he does play that bad boy. Well,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he's very handsome, though. I remember you referring to him
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: as the big beefy dude last day. Oh sorry, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: mean he is.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: But you know, this is what I like is that
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: he's obviously a little bit older, but he's not in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the you know, retired grandpa stage, you know what I mean. Like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: show me a man who's in his mid forties. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: want to see that on TV. I don't particularly like
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: all the like young twenty early thirty year old love stories,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: so I don't know.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I just liked it. Yeah, I thought it would relate.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And Allie is closer to our age. Also, Allie, I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: like that you call her Ali my bestie. Yeah. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: feel like I know her after watching her as Sammy
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Brady for years and years and years. Did she she's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: still on that show occasionally? Yes? Oh wow, she currently
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on that show. She comes and goes. What was your
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: first impression of this movie? My first impression is I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: am a Tracy. I am Tracy. We took that I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: not survey. It was like a questionnaire. It's on Hallmark doc. Yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a quiz.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: It's like an old timey magazine quiz about who are you?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And Meg and I both were Tracy's.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I felt like I could really super
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: relate to her this movie. My first impression is a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: little bit more general, but I am pleased with this
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: resolution to the trilogy. Oh me too, Me too, I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: totally agree. So let's talk about specific things that we
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: liked about this movie. Hmmmm. Finally, finally they get the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: selfie shot right. That is my first note written down.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Finally a correct selfie pick. I took them three tries.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I had to rewind because it happened so close to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the top of the movie and I had looked away
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and I realized they had taken the shot and I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: needed to see what it looked like. And they did it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We don't even see them holding the phone. We just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: have the actual camera at the angle of the shot,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but at least the Finnish shot looks like a selfie.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I took three movies, but we got there. Okay,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: so this is in my liked category.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: But I'm undecided if I liked this movie compared.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: To the other two. I liked it, I didn't like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: love it. I think I really liked the first one.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I kind of liked the second one, And now I'm
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: not sure if I like the second one better or
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the third one better.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, I felt like this movie was like the most
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: most Hallmark esque, you know what I mean.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Like, I felt like the second movie was totally like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: not like a Hallmark narrative we usually get right, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: because it was.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Like a mysterious and blah blah blah whatever. This one
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was kind of the old tropes that we see. So's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me. It's hard for me. I think
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this movie has a hard time competing against the Wedding
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Veil Unveiled, partly due to location. It's very hard. That
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was just so beautiful to look at the entire time,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and I think that for me played a role in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: my enjoyment of that movie. I would say, the second,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the second and third movies. It's a toss up. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: agree which one I like more as well? Hey, you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to see Matti Finocchio back on scene in
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: such a key role, not just a one and done.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: When I saw him, I was like, oh, Maddie, like like,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we're bff.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: What I loved about it is that he like played her,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: you know, like opposite her, you know, her in person friend,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and it was played by a man who was obviously
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: not a love interest.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It just I enjoyed that so much. Yeah, each one
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of these women in their movies had a person physically
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in their lives who played kind of that local best
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: friend role. And I agree, I like that this was
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a man and I enjoy him. We've seen him in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of places. Obviously, he will always have my
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: heart from his time and date my dad, which Wendy
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and I have a history with. But I just I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: really like him and I would like to see him
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: elevated a little bit more from the sidekick role.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, but here's a question, Okay, is he ever going
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to be like the dreamy lead? Well, he's what you're
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: saying he's quirky and a little unique, and so I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: don't know if he'll ever be elevated to like hold,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: he's never going to be a uh, what's that guy's name.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: He's never going to be a Tyler Hines. There it is,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, brain fog. He is never going to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: be a Tyler Hines. But I enjoy him so much.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: As an actor, and I think he's great. So give
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: him a role where he can be the lead but
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: is a little bit quirky, you know, And that's okay
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: because there are quirky people out in the world who
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: could relate to that kind of character. Hashtag Maddie, Justice
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: for Maddie, Justice for Maddie.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Hey. Even though Paolo didn't make the trip to the wedding,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I got so stupid. But he missed his playing. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: missed his playing. I was thrilled to see Kevin McGary
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: at Tracy's wedding. And do you know what I loved
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the most. He still had his horrible accent. He did
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: not the mysteriously missing Boston accent, and if it was there,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: it was not noticeable to It was slight us. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: kind of heard it a little bit. It wasn't. It
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't as.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: As strong, it wasn't as jarring. Yeah, it didn't get
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the caricature of exactly. And I thought that the whole
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: scene was like so funny. She's like, you're just as
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: romantic or you're turning into a romantic like I am.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And he's like, uh, she like lays her head on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his chest. I'm like, who does that? I've never laid
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: my head on my husband's chest while dancing. Never. Actually
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it would be his shoulder because we're like, he's not
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that much taller than I am. But you know what
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, your husband's taller than you. Do you lay
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: your head on his chest? No, when was the last
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: time we danced together? I remember, it's gonna be your
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: children's wedding. That will be the next time, right, Okay.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I liked that they got rid of Tracy's like first boyfriend.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what his name was, the guy
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that in away. Yeah, I was like, thank god I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: got rid of him because he was not it for her. No,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And we already had it dragged out over the previous
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: two movies. We had set the scene. We knew she
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was pretty ambivalent, and the second he moves to California.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: It was like, boy, bye, we knew she was not
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: going with him, he was not going to get the veil.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: What'd you wish for? Well, I didn't. Look. This is
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: what I didn't like.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: In the first movie it was about the painting, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the second movie it was about like the history of
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the veil, and this one it was like about that
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: museum letter that like, I don't need these like subplots.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: They don't do it for me. The letter I get
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: as a way to bring the two of them together.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just not sure that they needed that on top
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of them already planning this event together. What I wished
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: for in this movie is a visual aid to explain
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the story of the veil, because in the penultimate scene
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: when they are in the bridal room getting ready and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: they reveal how the veil made its way to the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: United States and they're talking about how they are all related,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: my brain short circuited. I need to see it drawn out.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Show me the people, show me where the veil went,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: show me who belonged to, show me who gave it
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to who, Show me who the illegitimate child is. Right,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I need a diagram. They talked about Claudia again. Yeah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I know. I'm like, who are these people? Someone in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Hallmark fan art community, get on it. That would
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: be amazing.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Show us even diagram of how these people are all related, please,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: because now I'm like at the end there, yeah, they
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: were like, well, I you guys are now cousins by it.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, You're right short circuit for sure. But
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: when I loved about that scene is when it's discovered
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that Tracy and Emma are cousins and lazy She's like, oh,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: but I'm so jealous. I could relate to that moment
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: so much because imagine you have like a trio of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: best friends and you discover two of them are actually related,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: even though it doesn't actually change anything. I could understand that. Really,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, i'd be jealous too. Nah. It's like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the scene in Friends where Rachel gets pregnant and they're
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: all talking about like, oh, I'm going to be an
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it and I'm going to be an uncle. Amanka goes,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: but I'm the only real aunt. Yeah, she's got to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: have that moment. I can relate. I have a strong
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: jealous streak runs deep that You're so funny. You do
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: not oh I do.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: You've never like shown it to me. I mean, you're
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: a hater sometimes, but that is born out of jealous
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. What else did you
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: wish for?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: That's it? Yeah, I didn't have a whole lot. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: just I had a hard time like getting like very
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: invested in the story. I like wanted to see it
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like wrapped up finally, you know, like I did not
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: care about like, like I said, like the letter or
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: them working together or like whatever. Yeah, that's where I'm at. Well,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I think with a trilogy like this, with these overlapping storylines,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: by the time we get to the third movie, we
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: have a lot of the loose ends tied up, We
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: have a lot of the backstory for these characters, and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: so this movie has that advantage. We were able to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: kick Finn out the door in the first ten minutes
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: because they had laid the groundwork over to previous movies.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So I think watching this movie is a different experience
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: than your standalone Hallmark movie. Yeah, I hear you, it's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: time for did you see that? And also this is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the help me understand that section for me? Yes, go ahead.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, lighthearted news when they are making Conoli.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: How was it even possible that that feeling shoots out
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of that piping bag? Like, have you ever used a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: piping bag? It's so hard, right, it's not gonna fly
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: across through. I rewound that scene three times to figure
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: out how that happened. I still don't to understand it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe they were like shooting it off camera, like off
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe the product wasn't actually like maybe it was something more,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you know, like the Conolli filling wasn't actually Connoli filling.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It was like light and airy whipped cream. I don't know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: who knows, I don't know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: When she says goodbye to Finn when he leaves to La,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: like she like just gives him a big hug, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, this relationship is dead and like they
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: have no chemistry between them at all. I was just
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: was like, is there even a question about you going
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: to LA with this guy?
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Because I don't see it. So I also rewound that scene.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: There were several scenes that I rewound to take a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: c look like did they even share a kiss in
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that moment? And they've been together for years over the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: entire course of these other two full relationships and marriages,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and Almark can't even break the trope of you only
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: kiss the person that you end up with for that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and that I was like, come on, you're not even
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: gonna give like he's leaving and you're just gonna hug
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: him goodbye. I know, it was weird.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: There was one scene where she calls Lacey. I don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: remember Lacey's character's name, Avery, Avery, and Avery's on the
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: phone in her living room and there's like a fake
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: fire in the fireplace.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It looks like, yes, but did you see it? I did.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It was like a fake photoshop fire going. But you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: know there are fireplaces that are like that. But that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I noticed it was weird. Okay, And here's my next one.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: That Vail has a snag in it, right, and it
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: happens during Emma's time with the veil. Why wouldn't her
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: now family, who has a you know, long history working
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: with Lace fix the veil?
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Yes? Because if your story is so loose that you
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: cannot invent another way for Tracy and her dude Nick
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to run into each other, Yeah, your story needs help. Yeah? Agree?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: How is it that two adults adults like, these characters
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: are easily in their thirties, if not their forties. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: know the actors are in their forties. Are so awkward
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: with each other as they're falling for each other that
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: they never have a discussion. They have not one, but
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: multiple awkward moments where it seems like, oh, something's happening
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: here and they dance around it. We're not children. Why
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: can we not have a conversation. Why does it have
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to get all the way to the point where he's
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: about to kiss her and she's like, I can't do this.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not ready have a conversation. Please. It's just bad
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: writing when it comes to too, I think, or bad storyboarding.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I saw something on
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Instagram last night from Hallmark Heartbeats, which is a fellow
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Hallmark podcaster, and this was interesting. This was another blind
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: spot for me. She says. This Asian Italian fusion restaurant
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: is getting on my damn nerves. Pick a country in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Asia to fuse with Italian food. There are many cultures.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You can't just say Asian fuse with Italian. It's a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: little microaggression. Either pick a country in Asia or call
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it European Asian fusion. Ah, and then the next slide
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: says Asia is a continent with forty eight countries, each
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: one with different cuisines. Please pick one from a proud Filipino. Yeah,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: that's just bad, bad research on the writers. Right.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, research is the wrong word, but you know what
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, lazy?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Who wants Who wants a tie Italian fusion restaurant? I don't,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think Italian fuses well with other
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: who wants fusion food.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I like Italian food and I like tai food, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I really particularly not interested in putting them together. Also,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: this isn't in my notes, but that giant sign they
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: have on the sidewalk in front of his restaurant, there
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: is not that much real estate in New York. That's
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: how you know this was not filmed in New York.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: There's Have you ever been in a New York restaurant.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: They are tiny, they are cramped, they are two feet
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: from the street. There is no way that this startup
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: restaurant has that much real estate for.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: A huge sign. Yeah dumb.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even even now, like New York restaurants all have
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like out have outdoor seating.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Two so it's like, no, there's no space for anything.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to walk in the street to get
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: around them. Yeah, what'd you rate this movie? I give
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: it three stars. It's what I gave the unveiled version too,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: because because like I said before, I don't.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, I don't know. I also
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: gave it three stars. I don't remember what I gave
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Wedding Veil Unveiled. Here we go two point five stars. Interesting. Oh,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. I think this is better than that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But I was in a three star kind of mood.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to rate these movies on their own, not
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I read it. This one. I think it's better. It
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: just this is how I feel. I gave this movie
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: three stars.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I have a question. Yeah, before we wrap it up,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: who do you think wore it best? Who wore the
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: veil best?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I would go Lacey Ali Autumn. Who's Ali?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm such a dummy.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I thought you were safe. Their character names Lacey an
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Autumn are not their character names.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: My god, if I need a cup of coffee, tell
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: me again, Lazy Ali Autumn.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Agree. I have to agree with that. I did. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: did like Ali's look.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I thought her wedding dress was a little dated.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, with the little tiny beaded belt, I was
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: thinking maybe like that that straight across neckline, you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to the shoulders. Yeah. Thank you so much for listening
