  Hello, I'm Olivia here with.
• 0:09
  Shauna.
• 0:11
  And this is your PCJ Pop for the week.
• 0:14
  It is a movie that I have not stopped thinking about since I watched it.
• 0:20
  It was amazing.
• 0:22
  I would say romcom ask, but a little sad.
• 0:28
  It's going to be Voicemails for Isabelle.
• 0:32
  I want to watch this.
• 0:34
  Have you seen it yet?
• 0:35
  I have not, but it's on my list.
• 0:37
  I have not.
• 0:38
  Get ready to ugly cry.
• 0:42
  So the premise of the movie is it's on Netflix.
• 0:45
  It's Netflix like summer romcom.
• 0:47
  Jill leaves voice messages to her deceased sister telling her about her chaotic life in
• 0:54
  San Francisco.
• 0:56
  And leaves these voicemails on her sister's number, but adds her sister passed away.
• 1:01
  That number gets reassigned to a mysterious guy who lives in Austin.
• 1:07
  And if you know two things about me.
• 1:09
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10
  What the heck.
• 1:11
  Yeah, well, I guess if you know three things about me, I am going through grief.
• 1:16
  I live in San Francisco today.
• 1:19
  I grew up in Austin.
• 1:20
  I think that this was such a beautiful portrayal of what it feels like to go out on your own.
• 1:29
  Take a risk.
• 1:30
  Also, lose a close family member and ball in love.
• 1:34
  I think that it's such a love letter to San Francisco as well.
• 1:39
  Beautiful spots really like finding yourself in a city by yourself.
• 1:43
  And that's like a movie about you essentially.
• 1:47
  Yeah.
• 1:48
  It was a cathartic watch for me.
• 1:52
  I will say have some tissues ready, but it was absolutely beautiful.
• 1:57
  Liam McHendrick both directs rights and acts in it.
• 2:01
  And then the main two characters in it are Zoe Deutsch and Nick Robinson.
• 2:08
  And then of course, Liam McHendrick is in it as well.
• 2:10
  But it was just so so good.
• 2:13
  I mean, Zoe Deutsch, it ultimately is a very underrated actress.
• 2:19
  I think that she is just kind of going to be this rom-com star.
• 2:28
  And she's the one to watch.
• 2:29
  Yeah, she's the one to watch.
• 2:31
  And she really, I feel like she is going to be in some really, really good things.
• 2:35
  She just did an amazing job.
• 2:37
  Even a movie I cried through most.
• 2:39
  I loved to cry.
• 2:40
  It was beautiful.
• 2:42
  And so, yeah, I would definitely say check it out on Netflix.
• 2:47
  And that is going to be it for your PCJ Pop.
• 2:50
