  Speaker 1: make her Mark. Have you heard anything about it?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Nothing?

• 2:47
  Speaker 1: last year, Forbes had published like an announcement of the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: make her Mark program, which basically it serves to get
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: more women behind the camera, and the initiative was the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: brainchild of one miss Ashley Williams.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I had saw that she was like sending
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: out like these like pr packages to some of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Hallmark people and like the Hallmark stars.

  Speaker 1: Anyway, they were all there having a good time. What
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: was that an earthquake, an avalanche perhaps okay. Alie Sweeney
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: cryptically references filming a murder mystery movie that she can't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: say more about yet. She's previously starred in Murder She
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Baked and The Chronicles Mysteries, and when asked if there
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: could be another mystery on the horizon, she said yes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: but that's all she can say.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: She's currently working on it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So keisha your ears open. Two things, have you ever
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: watched any of her mystery movies? No?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Second thing, I cannot stand it when they tease and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: then can't talk about the movies. I would prefer the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: coverage like we've seen with the Bilmore movie.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they hold that, like, let us
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: build up the hike, get it hip? Yeah huh so
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. I mean I would probably watch it. Maybe, yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you would, because because now apparently we review every movie
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on the Homework Channel and HM and M.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Now, yes, ma'am, okay.

  Speaker 1: into their like hot chemistry. I have questions about Lobuary. Yes,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: have you seen any previews? Well, I'm going to say
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that I'm not jumping out of my seat for joy
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for any of these Hallmark movies the same one. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that my first impression is not
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: always accurate, so.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe they will surprise.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I know. I gotta say I did see the sneak

• 6:03

• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that how you say his name?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: That guy?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean it looks okay, but you know, previews.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Sneak peak previews never look good, right. It's always like
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: some random clip of the movie and it's like, Okay,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: where's the next Hallmark Mahogany movie.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: We haven't had this in a minute.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, in February, A Nashville Legacy is the next Hallmark
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Mahogany film and it will air on Sunday, February twenty
• 6:35

• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be five Hallmark movies plus one one Hallmark.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Movies and mystery.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be busy February for a Girls Gone Hallmark.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: We may make the executive decision to swap Grilling season
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for the Hallmark original. Way in Megan and Wendy at
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: gmail dot com, or hop into our Facebook group and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: let us know what you think about that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Let's hear a synopsis of Glater National Park. Blah blah
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Yes, ma'am, that title is so long, okay.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: An avalanche forecasting expert brings her new technology to Glacier
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Chanall Park, where she faces pushback from the director of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Mountain Rescue, who's trained an intuition and common sense. Trained
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in intuition, and common sense. You can't see it, but
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: my eyes are rolling. Wow. Before we do news and notes,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say I have speculated that, based on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the title of this movie, Love in Glacier National Colon
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a National Park Romance, that they've left this open for
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: future national park romance installment. Give me an example of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the next title, A geyser of Love a National Park
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: romance geyser. I was thinking more like I wanted to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: make like a Yogi Bear, a boo boo romance. Love
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in the Acadia Leaves and national Park romance? Would a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Kadia National Park in Maine. Then Lee's famously turn it's beautiful.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Oh so leaf peeping, destination, leaf pimping.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: That's the word.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Collins, Hallmark Meg has got a whole bunch of titles
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we don't work for them yet.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Speaking of national parks, this movie was filmed in Fernie,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: British Columbia, which is four hours from Glacier National Park,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: not actually within GNP. I heard that, and and this
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is like a did you see that? I'm just gonna
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: slide in right here in this bedroom. Samantha's the young child,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the girl they had all these like Fernie posters. Well,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: it's a real place, I know that, but they're not
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: supposed to be Infernie. They are supposed to be Infernie.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They call it Fernie nine billion times. Then what the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hell's Glacier National Park? Then they're just pretending like Fernie's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in Glacier National Park. Are It's like confusing, but they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: are Infernie. They say Fernie many many, many, okay many
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: times time time Compine corrected. It's fine. I also read
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that people were like really kind of pissed off because
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they're like, there is no the thing that you ride
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: when you're a skier and you ride ski lift. There's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: no ski lifts in national parks apparently, well it's not
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in a national park exactly, ya. So people were like,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it's not realistic. I mean, come on, at least we
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: got real snow. At least we got real snow. They
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: also filmed at Ferny Alpine Resort, mm the you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: interior step. According to an interview with Christy will Wolf,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: who was the director and EP of this movie, they
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: filmed in negative twenty degree fahrenheit weather and the biggest
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: challenge was making sure that everybody stayed safe and healthy
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: while they were shooting. I mean, Megan and I went
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to Denver in December and it was twenty degrees maybe
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: at the coldest it was it was fifteen degrees, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that was really freaking cold. I can't imagine negative twenty. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think at some point it all becomes kind of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: zeros out.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just cold as cold, Just cold as cold.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Got it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of Fernie, according to an interview with Stephen Hussar,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it is one of the most avalanche prone hills in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the Rockies and even in the world, and it has
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: some of the most snow accumulation over the actual ski season.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: All this was filmed prior to the opening of the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: ski season, got it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You know what's kind of.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Funny is like, now he's now become the avalanche expert.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You know, we're getting his news on avalanche per the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: actor mountain rescue person. It's what's it called imitating art,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That's what I was trying to remember.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ashley new new Brow, Brow New Brow.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: She's new to me.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: She's totally new to me, but not to Hallmark. I know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you said a couple episodes ago that you watched Christmas
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: movies with her. She has been in movies like Christmas
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for Keeps is that when you watched he did It's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a great one, as well as five episodes of the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: ABC series Mistress Is. She also starred in a show
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: called Privileged on the CW with Lucy Hale and Joanna Garcia,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: show that I watched and love.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Really do you remember her?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what her role is, but it's essentially
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and nanny comes to this house of these two really
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: privileged like between teenage girls, and then so she maybe
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: one of the girls. Juanna Garcia plays the nanny. Lucy
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Hale's one of the sisters, so I assume Ashley Nubrow
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: is the other sister. I would one percent watch that.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I wonder if it's available this show. It's only one
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I believe it was only ever one season. Yeah, is
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it streaming? Don't know, but I enjoyed that show. Steven,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Who's our Yes. It was most recently an undercover Christmas
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: from last year. We did not cover it here on
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Girls Gone Hallmark. He also did seventeen episodes of Chesapeake Shores,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: twelve episodes of Letterkenny, which is a show that mister
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: one Tyler Hines participates in quite a minute. He has
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: sixty acting credits. Quite a bit for a man I've
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: never seen before. Speaking of Stephen Whosar who plays Chris,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Emily Wolfe plays his daughter Samantha, and she is the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: daughter of director Christy Will Wolf, with nine acting credits
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to her name, including Chasing Waterfalls. Yeah, a lot of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: her mom's movies. Yes about CHRISTI Will. Okay.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It's funny because she is.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Sometimes billed as Christi Will Wolf and sometimes just Christie Will.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: In this movie, she was Christie Will.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: She won a Best Screenwriting Award at the Canadian Leo
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Awards in twenty twenty two. She has directed many movies
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I personally haven't liked. I don't think it's has anything
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to do with her. I can tell you for sure
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with her. But the common
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: thread between them, I'm gonna let you guys figure that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: out is Worry Heart Belongs, Warming up to You, Chasing Waterfalls,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Don't Forget I Love You. One does not belong with
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the other guys, you know. Worry Heart Belong has Jen
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Lily in it. The others have Sidney Wesby there is
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: no writer credited anywhere for this movie. I checked IMDb,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I checked the press release, I checked tagged Instagram posts
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: from Christy will Wolf and others, and there is no
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: reference to a writer for this movie. So if you
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: know who wrote, I know he wrote it really well
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: because I stumbled across the same information as you did.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: So it went back to the credits to watch and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it was written by Keith hemp Street. It's his third
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: writing credit. Other movies include Noel next Door and The
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Most Colorful Time of the Year. Well, Keith Hempstreet got
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: robbed because he's not credited in a number of places
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: where he should be. I know, I don't know who's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't have an assistant who puts his work
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: into IMDb. I don't know.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I have one last little note about this movie.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Devin Alexander plays Eric, and he's been in a tome
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of Chrissy will Sometimes Wolf movies.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, like so many of them.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So she likes one mister Lexander, Yes, and I say
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: justice absolutely. I would love him as a lead. He's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: so funny, nice to look at. Like, put this guy
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: as a lead in a movie, like, I don't get it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Uh, huh.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to discuss your first impression of the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: longest title ever? I am go ahead, want me to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: go first? Yeah, I think I might have fallen above
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: my head because spoiler alert, I'm one of the few
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: who like this movie. I'm just gonna hide here in
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the corner now, everybody.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Don't mind me.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: My first impression is I have to retract my previous
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: statements about this movie.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: What did you say?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I said I was so excited about this movie
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and it was gonna be great.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: You were super hyped for it. It was I was
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: not so in a.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Weird freaky Friday. Freaky Friday.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, let's talk.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Well that said, let's start with what's good. Let's compliment
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: sandwich this Okay, I'm gonna start with like the easy
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: this scenery was stunning totally, while the mountains are we'reous.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I have questions about avalanches. How often do they happen
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a lot? Like it's like a tree falls on a forest,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Like you just don't know, Like it just happens because
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you only hear, like when there's some sort of like
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt in one. Most avalanches occur in the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: back country outside the boundaries of developed ski areas. There's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a frequency of er point eighty eight avalanches per square
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: kilometer per year.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: That's too much math for me.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I think a reputable ski resort is not going to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: build a ski run in the middle of an avalanche
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: prone area.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, I would hope not.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: But those two were like sitting on a bench and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't like an avalanche happening, and they're.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, look at that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like it just happens like that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I mean that could have been footage from something else.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think so so weird. Okay, all right,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: look I said it before, I will say it again.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I love Ashley Newbrow.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I find her absolutely delightful. She is a highighlight of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: this movie for me. She's so damn cute. She's so believable.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like she's just like embodies the role that
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: she plays. She's incredibly pleasant to watch on screen. Yeah,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I agree to love her. She gives me real Denise Richard.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Oh totally.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like young she's a better actress than Denise Richards.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Shots fired.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I will stop my Denise Richards slander. I like her, Sorry,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and I think actually knew. I can't say her last
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: name new Brow. I think she's a very good actor.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's supernatural.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I just really enjoyed watching her, just like you said.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would watch anything she's in going forward.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Totally. I love Little Samantha. I'm shocked.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I was. You know, anytime we've got a child actor
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: who has a significant role in one of these movies,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: my first thought is, I wonder when he's gonna have
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to say you liked her. She was adorable and sassy. Totally.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I just loved it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I was here for it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I thought she was so cute. I'm like more movies.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: She's real cute. Okay, let me say this first. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: thought the story as a whole was a little bit mediocre,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: but I did enjoy the dialogue. I felt like the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: conversations that, especially like the sisters happy between each other,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: were conversations like we would have between each other. It
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't like movie dialogue.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: So Like there was a lot.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Of like dude thrown around and stuff like that. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I liked that.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great lines like Travis un Courtney. Yes. I liked
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the writing as well, and I suspect that some of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the problems with the story had to do with editing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: more than writing, and we'll talk about that. I okay, yeah,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: for sure. I really found the avalanche training scenes interesting.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I liked that they were like having them dig through
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the snow and showing them what to do if you're
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: trying to find a person.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Can I stop you there?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: When they were like sticking the pole into the ground,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: what if you were the person? And on their receiving
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: end of that, like, I know they're looking for me,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: but now they've just jabbed me with a pole. Well,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I hear you, But I think the issue is the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: poles probably has a rounded tip, and you are wearing
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: snow clothes, so it's not going to it might be annoying.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Oh poke your eye out?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, please find me in the snow.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: What if they pokes through the clothes and then you
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: have a real emergency on your hands because you're bleeding
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: out all over the snow. I'm going to imagine they've
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: not created a sharp poker. I need somebody to send
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: us a voice memo or email us or something. Give
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: us all the information on the Avalanche snow poker. Now,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the avalanche training was not widely appreciated. There are some
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: members of our Facebook group who didn't feel like that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: was necessary. But I think that's maybe a complaint about
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the movie as a whole, not about like that wasn't
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: enough to save the movie for them.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I found it quite interesting.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: The last thing I liked. I kind of like, there's
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: like multiple mentions of climate change and science prevailing and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: big fans of science and don't you believe in science?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, thank you to the progressive
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: writer of this movie. I enjoyed that. Keith hem Street, Yes,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I agree. I'm ready for wishes because my list is long. Man. Okay, well,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: let's just talk about the first one. Chris is a
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: complete dick. Mine is that Chris wasn't such a jerk.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: It's tragically your wife died, but the prediction system didn't
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: kill her. He had so many problems with him, Like one,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I couldn't even find him attractive because he was such
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: an asshole. And some scenes he'd be like so nice,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: but like, dude was not going to be convinced that
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: there was a better way than his way, and that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: was infuriating because here it is in contrast to that,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: she was like, show me your search and rescue methods.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I'm here to learn for it. I want to see
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: what Like she was so open to him and he
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: was so closed off, and I was like, red flag,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: red flag, Why why are you into this dude who
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: is completely dismissive of all the work that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: You put into this.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, and her attitude was, I think our two methods
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: can work together, right, all, let's use all of the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: tools and our arsenal to protect ourselves and prevent getting
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: stuck in an avalanche. And he's like, this is the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: only way to do it. And because I wrote for
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that matter, could he please stfe about hating Heather's prediction system.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It's a tool. It doesn't replace humans, but works alongside them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And then when he had the information from the tool
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that an avalanche was imminent, he wasn't willing to test
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the snow himself because he didn't have time alone. I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: wish she would have bounced at the end. I don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: want me. And yes, it is very tragic that his
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: wife died because the prediction system didn't tell her there
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: was an avalanche. But sir, she didn't test the snow.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: When they're telling the story, she did not do the tests.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So your system is flawed too, because it is run
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: by humans, and humans are not always going to make
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the best choice.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Right exactly. Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I just hated the entire like he was so threatened
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: by like her coming in, where it was like he
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: could not see that like what she was offering was
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: just something in Edgine too. Yes, And I felt like
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: this is going to be your whole life. He is
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: going to feel like he knows the right way to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: do it and there is no room for any other
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: input about anything else, and you're just gonna get run over. Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's not like she's some schlup.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: She's a doctor, you know. So, which then goes back
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to like what bugs me a little bit is that
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: he can't appreciate the science, you know what I mean?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And I think if you look at a picture of
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a hole about like what's going on in our society
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: right now, science versus like, you.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Know, a lot of right.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And then the next election they're gonna get a big
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: fight and then she's gonna be like, what have I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: done with my life? I'm married to this guy and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: our values don't align.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's what I wished for.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is a smaller one that poor Sonia wasn't
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: portrayed as this needy chick who couldn't take a hint.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Much of this movie felt like the hallmark of Yesteryear.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Her storyline was really weird to me, and I first like,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: when Heather and Chris were run into each other at
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the massage place, what and Sonya comes out behind him
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and like fully like really gives Heather like the up
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and down and like very territorial over Chris right, And
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, that's interesting, Like is that something
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that would be normal for Mark in years past? Like
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I just felt like the blatant.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like Sonya portrayed a real person, Like
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: are real people acting? She was like Claire Arnold, who
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: like couldn't take a hint, who like showed up at
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Brandon's house. Oh Claire Arnold when she was in high school? Yes, yeah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: she feels like this actress. He made it clear that
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: he wasn't interested. She was a pretty lady. She doesn't
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: need him, move on. Yeah. It was kind of weird, right,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I mean I didn't the problem. The problem was I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: didn't like her in this movie, and I was thinking
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: about why I didn't like her, and I'm blaming the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: story because she was desperate.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, I don't like it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was weird, like she like showed up at
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: their house to crash, Like that was just come on, Yeah,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: arnold handcuffing herself to Brandon's bed downstairs on The Couch Show.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: If you don't just watch that episode reference.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I didn't like Sonia either, and I felt
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that her storyline was not needed.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: They didn't.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: He could have just been like a single dad who
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: was real working, real hard still and like lost his wife.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: He didn't need to like have some you know, like
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: date gone wrong or whatever. First of all, if you're
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: dating your massage therapist, you don't. It just is like weird,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Like don't cross the line, dude, Like it just is
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: weird because you're in a very massaging seems very intimate, right,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: And if you've taken this woman out and then decided
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that you don't really like her, don't go back for
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that's an excellent point. Don't put her in the position
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: when you know she's into you. Find another massage therapist
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: in this resort spot. And now, if I could just
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: mention here the whole cross country ski race between Sonya
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: was that hijinks at its finest with the music. It
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: was so bad just the way was even shot, because
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it was like waste up at some points and then
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: like waist down, like you see their legs moving, then
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you see the arms moving. Then I'm like, what is happening?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: You know what's happening? Well, sisters all go sit it
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: just oh my god. What is the point with who wins?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: What you win? Chris, if you win the cross country
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'm the master cross country skier? Pick me? Pick me?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Was weird? Okay? Well, you saying that Sonya's storyline was
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: not necessary solves this next problem, which for me is
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: what the hell happened to Riley? Her story is so unfinished. Yes,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: she takes the pregnancy test, it's negative, and then we
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: hear nothing else. I know, there's no resolution. She doesn't
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: even have a conversation with her sister about it, she
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a conversation with her husband about it. There's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: no like, what are our next steps? There's so much
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: room for that. That story is so much more interesting
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: than this dumb competition story from this Messuse cut all
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of that and give Riley a complete story, or don't
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: start her story at all, right, but they didn't finish it. Oh,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: she's not pregnant, okay, I was waiting like at the end,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I have like a one year later and she there
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: with like a baby or something, and it was just over.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Well, like why didn't they do Why.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: They totally leave her hanging out or they've adopted because
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: there was I thought that scene with her and Samantha
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they made snow angels and they're at that was very sweet, yes,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, maybe she'll be like, well, maybe
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: we should adopt an older child, or we should foster
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: or you know, we don't need to have a baby, right,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: But they completely left that story hanging.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: So do you think it got cut?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yes at it?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah I do.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: But how do you like watch the movie and go,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Leave it like that?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: That negative pregnancy test feels like enough of a resolution
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to me, she's not pregnant, like they started with, they've
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: done IDF, they're waiting on the results.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: She's not pregnant.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: The end, I will say, I was quite sad when
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: they showed her negative by herself. Yeah, I like felt
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it deeply, like for her. I was so sad and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: then to have no resolution after that, like nothing, she
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: deserved better.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I agree, Well, do you have any more wishes?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I do? Okay, I wish that Chris super Hot mountain
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Man would get some game and not let his tween
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: do all of the matchmaking for him.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, she doesn't need.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: To ask her out, ask her to the dumb razor. Yeah, okay, no,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I agree. I just love the daughter so much. She
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: would so cute and I yeah, that's all I'm gonna
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: say about that.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's time for digit see that.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I have quite a few, quite a few. My first
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: one is I'm going to give credit to Facebook group
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: member Mike for pointing out with pictures by the way
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and our group, that's when they went to go do
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: their avalanche training. They got onto a helicopter, which I'm like,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: whoa budget for a helicopter? Here?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: At one point they have this like luggage rack that's full,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and then when the helicopter is taking out, the luggage
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: rack is empty. Another did you see that that I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: joinked from IMDb is that when they get in that helicopter,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: five people go up, but six come out. Shut up again.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: This is an IMDb moment, But that's that's what they say.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Shut up. That's funny. In that scene his class, do
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: you think the other people in his class or his
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: experience or whatever he was training and they were like
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: sharing why they were Do you think those.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Were real people?
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: And I felt like real people right. They did not
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: feel like actors. They looked like normal people.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell them the story of their daughters getting stuck
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: and now I want to So.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they were like, yo, we're Infernie or
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: wherever they were, They're like, hey, have you ever had experience?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: We're looking for people to share their story here or whatever.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we were working with actual avalanche rescue dog,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the actual avalanche rescue team, So you know, maybe we'll
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: give you this training in exchange for appearing.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: In these scenes. Yeah. I thought it was cool. Here's
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: a funny one.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: The sisters Riley and Heather are in like the Jacuzzie
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: pre spa appointment. Yeah, drinking out of like plastic glasses.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: It up.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: There's a tag on the bottom of yep. Price tag YEP.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Also, according to IMDb, Ashley Newbrow sports the first bikini
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: on a Hallmark movie get Out by do you banging right.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I get in a bikini two
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: to get in that. You know, if that were me
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: in that scene, you'd have to cut from the robe
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to me under the blanket. Absolutely not allowed the in
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: between climbing into bedshot, which nobody can make look good
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: except Ashley Newbrow. So there were so many people, especially
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a guy at the beginning, who have like red freezer
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: bird on his face. This is why I think these
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: people are like local because it's so freaking cold there.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: And you know how red myt face got when we
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: were in Denver.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Like it's the wind and the cold.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was like aching for them to put like.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: A sick so slug their face. Please slug your face.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: And if you guys don't know what we're talking about,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to leave a link to our megana windy Yeah. Hey,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: so I need to talk about the auction. Okay, what
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a mess? Chris says. Anybody who donates over five hundred
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: dollars will earn this experience, and then they start doing
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a live auction of what exactly you have negated the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: points If you don't, these are two separate things. If
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you're doing a live auction, it should be for one thing,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and the person who bids the most wins the thing.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: It was wondering the set if you want to say,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a five hundred dollars donation or organization will earn you whatever. Ward,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that's a different thing. But it was very okay. So
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: now you said anybody can get it. Uh huh. But
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: now you I think we're meant to believe like this
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: person's paying five hundred for this person's paying a thousand
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and four, this person's paying two thousand and four. These
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: people have never been to an auction, like auction something
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: else off. Yeah, I was like, what is a private
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: day of skiing? Meet the avalanche dogs? Oh? I went
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: big for that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on. That was confusing.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Also confusing was the talk of ivf M. I don't
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: know if you'll caught it is when Riley and Heather
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: are out to dinner, and it was quite funny. They
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: were talking about her husband's swimmers and they put the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: swimmers in there and like whatever that is not technically
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: in vitro fertiliza I ui. They did say if yes, yes,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and maybe you know science, we don't want to get
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: into the weeds about it, so we're just gonna skim
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: over that, just like the DNA talk of Yes, because
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: IVF they'd need implanting a obviously fertilized embryo, yes, me
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and IUI. Then we got a root for the swimmers. Yes, yes,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I did think it was quite funny. The waiter's reaction
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: more water, Yeah, pretty damn funny. Finally, for me, it's
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: just a question. They were on like that snow cat thing.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm not familiar with those machines. I think they
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: like plow snow or they get you through the snow
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: or something. Is that the machine that Jeremy Renner? I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: thought he was on a snow plow. Jeremy Renner was
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: injured by a snow plow while trying to save nephew.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Actor was attempting to stop a six ton vehicle from
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: hitting his relative after getting out without applying the emergency brake. Yikes, well,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: well whatever if one of those, but it's huge. He
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: had used the snowplow to tow his nephew's truck out
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: of the snow. After getting out without setting the break,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: he attempted to stop the plow sliding towards his nephew.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: So you think we're looking at a similar type of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: a large vehicle than yeahike sees Okay. I was just wondering,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: are you ready to rate GNP? Yeah, I gave it
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: a two point seven five star. I give it three.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I got it to I kind of liked it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: When it was over, I was like, it's like educational
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and interesting, but there was a lot of like things
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't like about it, but overall it was an
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: enjoyable experience.
