  Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a bonus episode
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of long story shorts the podcast. I'm Megan, I'm Wendy,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and today we're going to be discussing Journey of My Heart,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the very last movie in Hallmarks Summer Night series. But
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: before we get to that, I have some feedback to share.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Ooh, I'm scared.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Don't be.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: In last week's episode, we talked about the number of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Chesapeake Shores previews we were seeing and we asked if
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it was worth our time, and we got some feedback
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: from Shorty Michelle, who said I had said, maybe can
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I jump in right now season four, whatever season they're in,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and she said, absolutely, do not start now. You need
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the backstory. She said, the seasons are short. You can
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: totally catch up, but you should start at the beginning.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So she a recommended watching be recommended starting from the beginning.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And she said, it's not even though I think we're
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: thirty something episodes into this series, it's not an insurmountable task.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: So they're all right, follow up.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: How long are the episodes? Are they thirty minutes? Are
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: they an hour?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I do not know.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: The episodes are in the forty two minute range, with
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the exception of the pilot.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: That's an hour and ten minutes. All right, I mean
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I kind I kind of want.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: To watch it, just because part of me longs for
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: like a soap opera story, and I feel like this
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: might tick that box.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be like steamy soap opera.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: It's not soap opera light.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. I don't want to watch thirty episodes
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of a Hamewark movie, do you know what I mean?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I do know what you mean.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So, I mean I like balance baby, I like Hallmark
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: on one side, and then I like steamy Nephilix stuff
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: on the other.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. I don't know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So the Chesapeake Shorts question remains unanswered, but there is
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the feedback that we have on that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: All right, I may give the pilot a chance. However,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: pilots typically are terrible, So maybe I give the pilot
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: plus one and then see and see how I feel
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I like it?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Why don't you hit us with the synopsis of this movie?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's Chasing Waterfalls Part two, truly. Okay, here, I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: gonna read it for you. The official synopsis from the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Hallmark Channel website. Is a young wildlife biologist travels to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a remote Alaskan nesting area of bald eagles, where she
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: receives inspirational guidance from a Native American family and help
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: from a mysterious wilderness guide. Star Rihanna rihannan Fish and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Darien Martin. Hy al right, I always screw up people's names,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: so I'm not bad.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So let's hop into some news and notes about this movie.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: All right, So this was.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Darien Martin's first starring role.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, he gave me the rock vibes. Some of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the things he said truly sounded like Dwayne Johnson.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I thought he was handsome to look at acting skills.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: This movie was originally titled Love on the Wings.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Of Eagles, and I have to say I think it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a better title. Oh my heart, I.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Think both idols are awful, but Love on the Wings
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of Eagles is sleep terrible. Okay, wait, wait, hold on
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a second. Wait, what's that song on the wings of Love?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: That's what I hear in my head when I think
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: what song is that? You know what's who sings that song?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry I did not hold on, I don't know
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: your rendition.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Hold on, Hold on a minute. Where is your husband
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: when I knew him? Still you know who is this
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Osborne?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Hold on? No, wow, Wendy's digging realze.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You don't know this song?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: No?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't believe you don't know that song.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It did come out in nineteen eighty two. What year
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: were you born?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Seventy nine? Excuse you?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, well you were three years old when this song
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: came out.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, and you were seven. It's not like you were.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I don't ordering. Now that's what I call music for
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Anyway, that's that's the song I hear when I hear
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Love on the Wings of Eagles. Terrible title, terrible.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, this movie took place in Alaska, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it was filmed in Vancouver, as you know, is Hallmark's Way.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But this was I thought this was really interesting. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in one of the scenes, there's an Instagram post from
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Lucy Guest, who's the director of the movie.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Did you find this?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Uh? Maybe keep going?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So she tags a location as unseated Musqueam, Squamish and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: sleigh Watooth Territory. I'm very sorry if I mispronounced the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: names of those tribes. But what that means is basically,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the city Vancouver they're quote says they're committed to the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: process of decolonization and reconciliation with First Nations and urban
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Indigenous communities. So basically they're recognizing that this.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Is stolen land. The unseated ce dee.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Version of that word means like it wasn't given to them,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it was taken land, and so they are in the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: process of I don't really understand how that works, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it says we look forward to working with them in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: partnership as we continue to build this great city together.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: So I think perhaps it's maybe more ceremonial than anything else,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but it is an acknowledgment from the city. I don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: know how these indigenous groups feel about that, but I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: did think it was kind of an interesting tie in,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: obviously because we have the indigenous storyline, the micro storyline. Yeah, yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just annoyed with that. I mean, that information is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: very interesting that you just shared. I feel like they
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: promoted this movie as this Native tribute. Yes, exactly, thank you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That's perfect, and it was such a micro storyline to it,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: so I agree I'm like, Okay.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It was almost gratuitous, like a token indigenous person telling
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: their story, right, which I actually enjoyed the scenes. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: don't know anybody's name in this movie. I have all
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of IMDb open Jocko, so his name is actually Ray Thunderchild,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: But I enjoyed his scenes. I enjoyed listening to him
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: speak and tell the stories. Whether or not those were
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: fabricated for this movie, but I enjoyed that. But it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: did feel like, oh, we're gonna throw this in and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: make it as part of our commitment to being slightly
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: more culturally diverse.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. It's like, oh, like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we're smurder than that. Come on, let's go, because.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It really fell away at the end totally. The resolution
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with any of that, right, Okay,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: do we have anything else In news and notes?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: This is a little note.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I was listening to the review of this movie from
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the podcast deck the Hallmark and they shared this note
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that the production group who produced this movie also produced
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Chasing Waterfalls. Well, I have seen some similarities here.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: They're nearly identical.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Wendy watched this before I did, and she was like,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's Chasing Waterfalls with eagles, And I thought when she
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: said that there were, you know, going to be some similarities.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It's like the mad Libs version of Chasing Waterfalls if
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you replace.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: The word waterfalls with eagles.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Right down to the accidental sharing of a file. This
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: location information that they got from her camera, and that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: was shared unintentionally, and that made this person that she
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: had made a promise to that she would not share
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this secret location. Are there secret locations all over the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: place where they're like, oh, here's a secret waterfall, here's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the secret ego habitat.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, is this really a thing? I don't know?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And please show me the camera that can share a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: photo in a place where there's no cell reception, because
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't it need wi fiyeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Girl, that's funny. That is so funny. Yeah. So, if
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I recall correctly, I hated Chasing Waterfalls, and so here
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I'm watching a movie that I basically hated the first time.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I mean my first impression of this movie is I
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: hated it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So I didn't hate this as much as I dislike
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: liked Chasing Waterfalls, partially because I enjoyed ran and fish
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: better than I enjoy. Cindy Busby totally agree. And although
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I thought Chasing Waterfalls had some beautiful scenery, I do
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: think that this scenery in this movie blew that out
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of the water. And I do think that was its
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: best feature was the land and the scenery and the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: time that they took to get those overhead shots and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the canoeing shots.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: That was enjoyable. But but what is.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Your biggest pet peeve about movies with pretty landscape?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: That they rely on it way too much.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: The landscape is not the star of the movie.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: No, And with that being said, I would like to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: share something with you, if I may excuse me for
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a second, because Hallmark has now bumped Summer Nights straight
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: off the main page and I have to dig a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: little deeper into the app.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Hello fall it's fall y'all, it's fall y'all.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I was reading some of the reviews. Casting was awful.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I did not care for her at all, and I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: would have been more into her his performance if his
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: role didn't start out with a smug and Erican attitude.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: It was a turn off.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Then the scene with the bear or should I say
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: bears that was worse than the acting performance. You can't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: start it with a black bear and then go to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a grizzly and then to a different grizzly and call
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: them the same bear.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I don't notice.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't either, No wonder most people have no idea
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: of the difference. Maybe the crew just doesn't know the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: difference either, or they're just too lazy, And let's link
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: all this different footage together and hope it looks right.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I'm somebody there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Oh sorry that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Actually knows wildlife.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It was unbearable to walk.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that it's not like they had like a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: bear on set, you know what I mean? Like they
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: took probably stock footage, just like they did in last
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: week's Canva photos or whatever they were using in a
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: prior movie. They took stock footage and put it all together.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's funny.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: This says the.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Script was boring and lacked authenticity. It was clearly evident
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that was not filmed in Alaska. Terrain swimming in the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: lake in Alaska not likely?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, why I wonder it's freezing. Oh I don't know.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I've never been like the Glacier water runoff. Oh that's funny.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Really, this one says, please do more romance movies which
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: teach and show us about other cultures, like Cajun's The Creole.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, I would love that Inuit.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: In Canada highlight the Appalachian Mountain cultures in West Virginia.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Each migration of cultures have dealt with challenges and kept traditions.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You can teach us and inspire us by just highlighting
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: natural wonders, national parks, and other regions besides where you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: film in Canada, which.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's a great note.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Isn't that a good note?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I like, I thought so too, But it's like, okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: now we got to have like some white cast come
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: into like do.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: H see how that could be problematic?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: And there was actually a comment here this man says,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to like this movie as a Choktaw.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I was thrilled that Hallmark decided to incorporate indigenous people
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and storytelling into one of their rom coms. But I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: could not get past the absurd notion that an ornithologist
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have prior field experience, or would think of studying
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: migratory patterns wouldn't involve actual field experience. What's worse is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that Hallmark did a film in twenty fifteen that more
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: accurately portrayed ornithology. It just makes no sense that the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: biologist would be so unknowledgeable about the area of their
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: species in habits. Perhaps this is a case of not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: being able to suspend reality to enjoy the film because
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it hits too close to home. Anyway, there, the Hallmark
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: movie app has a number of reviews. I was surprised
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: because IMDb, like I said, had none, and I even
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: checked Rotten Tomatoes and as of last night, there were
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: zero on Rotten Tomatoes, which doesn't surprise me. I think
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that's more of movies like theater feature films. Yeah, but
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: so my first impression of this movie is.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Me, I think it could have been so much better
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: based on all those reviews who who eloquently gave a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: better review than I'm giving right now. I stand behind those.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I do too.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Love the idea of like showing other culture cultures. I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: think that's I love that idea. What I find problematic
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: is like, don't make it be like a lead white
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: couple or whatever, or white female or white male and
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: then come in and like teach us about this culture
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: because I just think that is super problematic.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't make them the supporting characters in the movie
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and then sell it, like you said, as some sort
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of indigenous person's experience movie.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Right exactly.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: My actress refreshed and the order of the reviews changed,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and the very top review says the acting was great,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: did not need the mid drift scene or the extra
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: long kissing scene at the end.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Other than that, it was an excellent film.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Somebody has to go real deep to be offended by
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a Hallmark movie.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: All the middrift scene.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: There's like a scene in the morning where she's I think,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: stretching and you can see her stomach. Oh give me, okay,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I thought they're kissing scene.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I thought they had. Well, okay, let's we'll get there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get there.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: What did you like about this movie?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, So, like I said before, I really liked the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: lead girl. I don't even know what her character name
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: was because I didn't pay that much attention to it,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: but her actress name is Rhannan Fish. I thought she
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: was is it Rihanna.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And Abby Rhianna and Abby Morian.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I thought she was cute and adorable, fairly decent actor.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Based on the stuff she was given to say.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: She does a little bit of baby talking.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Oh I didn't notice. I hate baby talking.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It was like she was channeling Elwood's in a couple
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of these scenes. But that did go away. Kelly Taylor
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: is the.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Queen of baby talk. Indeed, Yes, I.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Liked Darien Martin in terms of I thought he was handsome,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: uh huh, kind of a blockhead. But I thought they
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: had like some steamy vibes. And you know, I don't
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: think a lot of these character these actors have a
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: lot of like steamy vibes between them. I felt some
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: steamy vibes between these two.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I agree, although I did feel he was a little
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bit stiff as an actor.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He was like walking away in one scene and I
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: was like, it literally looks like he has a stick
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of his butt, like just like poor Gud.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: But look at the face, y'all very pretty, very pretty.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: That's all I liked about it. What about you?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: So, as you mentioned, I did think this was a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: beautiful movie. I found those scenes enjoyable, if not enough
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to make the movie great. I enjoyed the scenes with Jocko. I.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: There was a point at which Abby Rhannon gets mad
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: at Eric and she goes roll over Beethoven because she
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: calls him Beethoven. And I was like, that is the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: perfect Hallmark insult, because they can't be like e f Off. Yeah,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: so I really it just made me laugh because I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: was like, of course, like this is the mildest insult
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they can offer.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: It did make me laugh. I thought that was enjoyable.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: That's all you liked about it? All right? What did
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you wish for?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I wished that they didn't finish with Abby Morgan.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I love you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I know, right, Abby Morgan, that's a little presumptuous, and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: she goes, no, it's not, Yes it is.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: It's been a week. I love you.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You went camping for three days and you love her Hallmark.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: We can have a romantic end to this movie without
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I love you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: There's another line.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: We haven't even gotten it. I love you and a
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: kiss at an end of a movie in a really
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: long time.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: No, And I appreciate that they've stayed away from that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: And I feel like they're like, we got to go
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: back to it. We got to go back to our
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: bread and butter. If they're not in love and a week,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: we're failing and no, no, no, let's let the relationship grow,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Abby Morgan.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I like you, Abby Morgan. I want to see you again.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Abby Morgan. You changed my life.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: But I love you too quick, too soon?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Me. I agree? I agree?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: What did you wish for?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I mean all those things? Like, I just a better
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: movie from top to bottom? Just I mean, I feel
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: like you could have this Eagle storyline with a whole,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: entirely different narrative. Why rewrite the same frickin' Chasing Waterfalls movie?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I just don't understand.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: We can't come up with the conflicts, so let's pick
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the exact same conflict we've used before.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It's bizarre to me, Like I share hope the writer
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: of Chasing Waterfalls got some credit for this idea. You know, Yeah,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I just I wanted. I wanted for the last movie
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of Summer Nights. Make it a good one. Don't make
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: it some stinker that you just threw on there towards
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the end, you know what I mean?
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I agree?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I just I hated it. I hate I just hate
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the whole thing.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Sorry that it's okay. I did not enjoy it either.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: What do you have for? Did you see that.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Two things one? At some point They make Abby come
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: off as real dumb, like she is like a a
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: biologist that has had some sort of postgraduate experience. I'm
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: gonna guess right, she knows where to put a tent.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: She's not putting the tent on the fire ring or whatever.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Do you know what scene I'm talking about?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, she goes, how I put it there? And he goes, yeah,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: it's a fire pit.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Give me a break.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Anybody who with two brain cells is not going to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: put it over the pile of rocks.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, yes stupid. Don't make her like don't make
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: her like smart, but like doesn't have survival skills.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Well. Also, in the scene right before they leave for
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: their hike, she's like, oh, we're hiking, and oh we're
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: sleeping in a tent, and oh it's going to take
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: us several days, and oh we're going to be gone
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: for a while.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Why is this all a surprise to you?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand. Yeah, don't make her a dummy.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: It makes me mad, and I wish that somebody would
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: have been like, you know what, this doesn't make sense.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Where's the person on this crew that goes this story
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the continuity expert, don't know somebody.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's the other thing. Did you see that He
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: was showing her or giving her a selection of freeze
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: dride food to take, uh huh, and she's like, ooh,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take this and oh, I'm gonna take this
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: in this and he goes, ah, you like to eat,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: and I was like, fuck off, dude, Like yeah, she's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: a human, she wants to eat. You know. It's just
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like why is that who wrote that line? Like that's
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: so stupid.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and also like you're a big burly dude, Like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you're telling me you're not eating a big meal, like
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: muscles take fuel, right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And it's the strawberry shortcake.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: The only thing she had on her backpack was food.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: She didn't pack anything else.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And then she manages to have like a different outfit
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: every day and apparently a battery powered curling iron, because
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: she comes back from three days with perfectly girled hair.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And like a clean face and like her cloes aren't wrinkled.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: There was also one scene she had a terrible outfit onto.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's when she first got to the wilderness
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: or whatever. She just had like terrible, like mismatch of clothes,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: like something I would pull from my closet because I
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: don't typically visit like Alaska, you know what I mean,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Like terrible boots that don't match with your pants, or
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and your top is a totally different color and you
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: got these bright yellow socks. It just was awful. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: was like, who dressed this trick? Oh awful?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of her clothes, there's a scene where they're
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: sitting I don't know, rock orl log and her feet
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: are up in front of her so you can see
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: her feet in her socks and her socks are over
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the outside of her pants. Yes, yes, And seems to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: me they must have had a really bad bug problem
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: because there's no other reason that there's That's not a
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: stylistic choice. There's no reason you would do that intentionally
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: unless you needed to keep ticks or exactly something out
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of your pants.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought. I saw the same thing, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I was like, I whenever they have a tick problem,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: like the same thing. Yeah, nobody wants to come home
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: with lime disease, okay on these Wholemark movies.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Look, I appreciate I appreciate it, and you know, maybe
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you would do that when you were hiking. Anyway, I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: have a few. The first is very small, but in
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the first scene where they're canoeing, Uh, the character Ellen
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: has black electrical tape over the logo on her life jacket,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: which was weird because the other logos you could see,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: like Eric's was a Bodyglove Life. One of them was
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: wearing a Bodyglove Life jacket. The other one had a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: brand I didn't recognize, but hers had black tape, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: so it was like, oh, we can't advertise this company
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason. So they just stuck hoping you wouldn't notice,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: like they do on like reality television when people are
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: wearing a brand that they can't from home and they
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: blur it out or I remember in the early days
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of the Real World they used to just put like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: straight up tape over their shirts.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyway, North Face are uh, what's the other
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: one are EI, I don't know whatever. Didn't want their
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: name associated with it or what.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Apparently not.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: When she leaves the hotel, she has a backpack and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a tiny double bag. Girlfriend has changed her clothes like
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: nine times. Her outfits would not have fit in there.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: She has with hiking boots. No, where's her curling iron?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Where's the toilet trees?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: No?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Why can't you have a ractual suitcase?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Did you notice that her co workers names were Megan
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and Harry?
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: No? I didn't.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: That's funny.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was intentional, but at one
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: point they said, oh, Megan and Harry will handle it,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: or I need to talk to Megan and Harry.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And yes, I was really hoping you're going to say
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: their coworkers' names were Megan and Wendy, and then I
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: might have made attention. I didn't notice Megan and Harry.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: No, bunny.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Oh why why does Eric need a harmonica?
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Seriously? I agree because he's a musician, right, a pianist
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: who also plays the harmonica.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: And you can't carry a piano around. I don't know.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I fought the harmonica annoying.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: This dude's so boring. Well, got to give him something
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to do. So here's his thing, and his thing is
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: apparently the harmonica.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and which she was calling it a kazoo or
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: some crap like that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was calling her a birdwatcher.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I thought they had steamy vibes between them. Maybe they
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: just had annoying vibes between each.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Other, so they switched really quickly.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: It did start off antagonistic and then very quickly it
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: just became like kind of teasing as opposed to they
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: didn't like each other, which I'm glad they made the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: switch quickly because I am not here.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I don't enjoy the.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I hate you, I love you me neither can't say it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: All Right, well, it is time to rate this movie.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be the lowest of the season.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: So what are you giving it?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: One star? Yeah, it's a one star because I like
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: the lead actress. But other than that, hated the whole thing.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Otherwise it wouldn't even be on the board. Seriously, they
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: didn't finish strong although our experience with Christmas is that
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they didn't finish those movies particularly strongly either. You know,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they kind of pile the best like from thanksgivingp to
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: mid Christmas, and the up top and the late movies.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Are their stinkers.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, put a stinker on Thursday night, not no, like
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: a Saturday night. You know.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I gotta say maybe they put the most hold on.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe they put the worst movie on because they really
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: want people to watch next week's Tyler Hines movie.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I really don't know how that helps
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Tyler Hans at all.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Well, because let me give you from my personal experience. Okay,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: this movie was so bad that I'm looking forward to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: next week's movie. Oh it's interesting, which I mean. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: don't look forward to these movies, and when I do,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: they're usually a dud. So I'm kind of nervous for
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: next week now.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I feel like the average Hallmark movie watcher doesn't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: feel compelled to watch the Hallmark movie every week as
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: we do, so I feel like a stinker makes me less.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Likely to come back. Oh interesting, all right, except that
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: I have to.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: So you wouldn't watch the Tyler Hines I.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Would watch it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Tyler Heiness movie doesn't. I would, But this movie doesn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: make me more likely to come back for it. Tyler
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Hines makes me likely to come back. Not a stinker
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: preceding Tyler Hines.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Got it? I hear you, I hear you, I hear you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Now let me ask you your regular Hallmark movie watching experience.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Would the Fall movies include that if you weren't reviewing.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Them, I would probably record them and may or may
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: not get to them all. Although I was watching this
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Journey of My Heart last night and I asked my
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: husband if you wanted to watch it, and he goes, no,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: But the Fall movies start next weekend, so apparently he's
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: interested in watching those, and so.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: It's one of those.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: If we were going to watch it together, I'm far
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: more likely to watch it outside of needing to watch
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: it for a podcast, so we usually catch a few.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I gotta tell you, I am looking forward to
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Roadhouse Romance. I like country music. If I get a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: little song and dance and some like I don't know
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Fall vibes, I might be super into it. I'm kind
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: of excited for it. So what else is coming up
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: for Fall? I don't remember.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: For Fall, we have six premiers immediately after Oh my goodness, okay,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: immediately the House of Romance. We have raised Black to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Love with one Pablo depay Depache and who is most
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: well known for being Fernando on Fuller House.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I've never seen him in anything else.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to see him without his very fake accent.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah me too.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Actually, as of today, September eighth, the movies premiere in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: September twenty fifth and later do not have their full
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: images in the Hallmark Movie app.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Do they have a title?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: We have taking the reins, I Love twice, South Beach
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Love all advice to Love Buy, and they don't have
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: any other information in the app, including.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Leads.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Do we think South Beach Love is a COVID rom com?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it just takes place in like the hotbed,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think is doing out everything they can to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: pretend COVID doesn't exist.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Well, I gotta tell you, I'm looking
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: forward to next week's Tyler Heiney. I'm here for Yeah, I'm.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Ready for it to I could use some Fall content
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: in my life.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Me too. I think I'm gonna drag out my Fall
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: of decor today.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, surely it's such a braid.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe not.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: You're gonna be so tired of it by Thanksgiving.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I'm into it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. Let's go Fall Harvest.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of Fall, this week's main episode of the podcast,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: what everything we're looking forward to in Fall? Like we said,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: it's early September and I think it's going to be
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: ninety degrees here today so it's not fall, and Fall
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't even officially start for several weeks, but we're looking.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Forward to it, and we talked about all those things
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: we're looking forward to because we needed a.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Little joy in our lives. So give that a listen.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: We'll be back again on Tuesday with another regular episode
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: of the podcast and kicking off Fall Harvest next Thursday.
• 31:27

• 31:28

• 31:31
  Speaker 1: review for the podcast. That helps us out a lot.
• 31:33
