• 2:00
  Speaker 2: love her so much and her name just it is
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: spelled c ha So I go shah bert b e
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: r d. What is it shabt? I need to spell
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it c h A b e a r Sebert, Sorry,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Lady Shabert. Kevin McGary, Autumn Reeser, and Allison Sweeney. The
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: first installment of a new trilogy follows three longtime college
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: friends who discover a mysterious antique veil fabled to unite
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it's bearer with their truth love.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Some news and notes on this movie. Wendy just mentioned
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that it's a trilogy. The final two movies in the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: trilogy will air in a Love youary part of February's lineup.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I don't fully understand why they made that choice so dumb.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Why not? Oh, I'm super annoyed by it because they're
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: re airing the first one the first weekend of February,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: so they should have just pushed it off. God call
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: us Hallmark, we have ideas.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: All I can think is that they perhaps didn't finish
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: one of their New Year New Movies in time, because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I did see a promo that said all three movies
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: airing premiering in February, so I think originally their plan
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was to air them.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Back to back. H Well, they screwed the pooch somewhere. Sorry,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Okay, let's hit some news and notes.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: What else do you got? Hey?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: This was based on a book called There Goes the Bride,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: which is book one in the Wedding Veil Wishes series.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Did you happen to find this book on Amazon?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I did? Oh, I was.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Gonna send you the photo right now.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I have it all cued up.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to go.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I did. Well, we'll put it in the show notes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I did do a little deep dive and found the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Long Tall Texan, which is the title this book now
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: goes by, which is weird, Like, have you ever I've
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: known them to change a title of a book.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it has a shirtless cowboy on
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the cover, which leads me to believe that the book
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is perhaps slightly racier than the movie adaptation.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I think I read the synopsis of the book and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it has like zero zero like anything to do with
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: like the movie I watch. So I don't know what
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: exactly was it adapted unless there was just a veil
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in that book.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: They're like we got rides, they all use the same veil. Boom,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: we got a movie.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: So weird, it's so weird. Yes, I have linked at
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the book by Lori Wilde in our show notes the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Long Tall Tics, and yeah, there are like a harlequin
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: romance books.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call them, that's what they appear to be.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was filmed in April and May twenty twenty
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: one in British Columbia. And we couldn't have quite the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: tight turnaround on these because we to have three movies
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: completed before they could show one.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for sure. I also read to that autumn.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Resar wrote on her Instagram that she had signed on
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to this movie two days before the world shutdown due
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to the pandemic. Oh so it was originally to be
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: filmed in April twenty twenty, and then that got bumped
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a whole full year.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, I have two questions for you.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: The first is, does the Hallmark's dedication to diversity seem
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to disappear outside of the countdown to Christmas season?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question. I'm trying to be Okay,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: there's only been two new movies this year. I'm gonna
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: say yes.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: If you look simply at the posters for New Year
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: New Movies, we only have one featuring an actress of color,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and that is Nosnene Contractor and the Perfect pairing. The
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: other five are white, white, and whiter.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was trying to even think about the one
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that was on Movies and Mysteries this weekend, and I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: believe it's also a diverse less cast.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, food for that Hallmark. I know that's when they
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: get the majority of their press and the majority of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: their views, and so they put all their good stuff there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But you've got viewers the rest of the year. Let's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you have a responsibility the other ten months out of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Paul Campbell, where are you?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I have another question? Yeah, how do we feel about
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: these January movies not being wintery at all? Uh?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It doesn't bother me, Like I don't. I am so
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: sick of wintery things anyway at this point, so I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: don't care. And it's smart on Hallmark to have a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: like non wintery type movie because then they can play
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it all year long.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree. And I think it was a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: smart move to change the name of this series of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: movies from Winterfest to New Year New Movies. That leaves
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: them wide open. I recall last year as we watched these,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we were just so tired of the snow. There was
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: just snow, snow, snow, snow, snow. And I agree these
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: are pretty timeless the movies that we've seen so.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Far, timeless and meaning that they can be shown at
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: any timeless I should say, not timeless as in like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the best thing ever. Yeah. I did see a preview
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: for the Perfect Pairing written by front of the show
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Julie Sherman Wolf and I saw some digital snow, so
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: that one has some snow in it. Yeah, and then
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the preview, doesn't she slip on some ice and smackerhead.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't realize that was written by Julie Sherman Wolf.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I am all of a sudden very excited for that movie.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I'm I'm That's one of the ones I'm
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: really looking forward to, just because I like Brendan Elliott,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and I like the writer, and I like nas Nazanine Contractor.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's very pretty coming.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: She was good in that other. She was in a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: movie last year at this time. I don't remember what
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: it was. They were in some snowy place. I liked
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: her as an actress. I have a couple more little
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: news and notes. Lazy Shaber served as one of the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: film's executive producers. Go did we know that? Go Lazy,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Go Lacy, and she told Good Housekeeping in April twenty
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: twenty one that working with Autumn Reeser and Alison Sweeney
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: was a dream come true.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: That's fun.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I know, I think so too.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, are you ready for first impressions?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am, you can go first, Okay.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: My first impression is that this was a solid start
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to the trilogy, and I'm looking forward to the next two.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: That's hi praise. Oh no, my first impression was give
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: me more girlfriend movies. Yeah, don't you think so? Don't
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you think? Like? Okay, we get it. Homewark has the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: love story movie, the same thing, week after a week
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: after a week after a week. Give us some girl
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: friend movies. That's who's watching these movies, right, women. I'm
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: gonna guess. I mean, I don't know the demographics, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess it's mostly women. Don't they want to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: watch things.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Other than just like typical guy and girl fall in love. Well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we're on the same page because my first like is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I like more of these crossover event movies where the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: leading actors get to work together a la sister swap.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: We rarely see these movies where you're gonna get an
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Ali Sweeney and the Lazy Shaver in the same film
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: because they want to be top dog. But by doing
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: these movies, maybe that's a Hallmark's concession to that they're
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: not willing to lose the I need a happy ending.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with these crossover event movies if it means
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that we get more these great actresses working together and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: doing the girlfriend thing. Yeah, I'm into it too totally,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: especially coming off of Sister Swap, because I really liked
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that like set of movies, like how they did it,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and I think that's like basically what we have here too,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: with a little tweak here and there. I really like
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the overall story of like this magical veil with the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: you know, history of it, and I'm excited to see
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the two other movies. Look,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I read all of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm here for this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was wondering. I mean, is this
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: just a remake of Sister Heard of the Traveling Pants.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Are we just like longing for something like that from Hallmark?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm okay if it's inspired by that, I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: good with that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah me too, Yeah me too.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: What else did you like?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Well? Speaking with the relationship between the girls, I just
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: love the girls, the women, the three friends. Uh, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: just seem so easy and natural with each other, like
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: as like actresses. They like worked all well together. It
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't like one was like fighting for like top dog,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It just felt very comfortable. However,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I will say that sometimes when they like would talk
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to each other, seemed a little formal and oh, that's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: probably just writing. Like for example, they were like Alison
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Sweeney's character was really into like lifting each other, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: lifting her friends up right, they all were doing that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: But like it was just like, oh, you better turn
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that frown upside down or you know whatever. Whereas like
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I think, like if you and I were together would
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: be like, bitch, please, like you know, you know, yes,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: because we're very comfortable with each other. So I think
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: it was just like the script probably yeah, and its audience,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you know whatever. I still liked it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I thought it was great. I liked that the wedding
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: veil was actually beautiful, and sometimes we get these items
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that are supposed to be very meaningful in a movie
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and they're like, really, I thought they did a nice
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: job finding a beautiful veil to use as the centerpiece
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of these movies.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you, it was so pretty on Lacy
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: at the end with the beautiful head piece and stuff.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I thought it was lovely, except though she was dancing
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: with it on at one point and I was like, no,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: did you wear a veil at your wedding? Yes?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And I don't think I wore it to the reception.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to remember if I wore mine to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the reception or not. I don't think so. I think
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I took it off at some point. Yeah, So it
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: was just I don't know. I was like, would she
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: be dancing the entire time at the reception with this
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: like very expensive meaningful item.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Right, her friend should like take it off?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we paid for that too, don't don't know anything.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Before my turn, I loved Kevin McGarry.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Look, I have lots to talk about him, let's hear it. Well.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I texted Megan while I was watching this and I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: was like, Kevin McGary is a super wowie zowie for
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: me and I and she goes, yeah, he is, except
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: for one thing. And I'm like, whoa what?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And I thought you were going to come right back
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: with my one thing.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: She's like the terrible Boston accent, and I was like,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'm into it. I'm in I love a Boston accent.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite movies is The Town with Ben Affleck,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and it's all Boston accents, which he is a true Bostonian?
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Uh?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, well done?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Wow. So I don't know, but he was doing it
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: for me? Wow? Is that?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed him. The Boston accent bothered me. I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: have some thoughts on that later, But I didn't like that.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I could have done without it, particularly because nobody else
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: living in Boston had the Boston accent, so we didn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: need him to have this strong, fake Boston accent. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I have something to say about that later. He is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: most well known for his roles on When Calls the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Heart and Heartland. He's had a lot of other smaller roles.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He's been in some you know, holiday movies, but Hallmark
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: fans love him from When Calls the Heart. I have
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: never seen an episode of that show. I loved him
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: in this. He needs to be a new leading man
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in regular rotation.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I think so too. And dude looks good in a suit. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I thought he was hot. But we'll talk about the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: accent a little bit more later. I thought Lacey really
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: redeemed herself after Christmas at Castle Heart, because that was
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: a big stinker from countdown to Christmas.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: So I wonder if she made she must have made
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: this one first before Christmas at Castle Heart, right, uh
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: huh uh huh. But yeah, and I don't blame her
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: for Christmas at Castle Heart. I think she was given
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a stinker to work with. Yeah, I think so too,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: because I don't think.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: She ruined that movie.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so either.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But this was definitely a redemption for her. And I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: like that we'll get to see so much of her
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: because I assume this friends all make appearances in the movies, right, right, right.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Did you notice the clothing at all?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Her dresses? I loved them.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Was she had. They gave her such a romantic style
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and it was super in line with her character, which
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I appreciated. But she wore such cute things, like she
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: looked adorable.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And loved her and loved her dresses.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: What did you think about the chemistry between Avery and Peter.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I believed it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. Like I read some reviews that were like, oh,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: there was nothing between them. I was like, are you
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: kidding me? They had great banter, very flirtatious, like I
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: was in I believed it. Yeah.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: The scene when her friend tells him the weddings in
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a month and he kind of like walks away heartbroken.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I really I felt that for him. I thought like, oh,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: it's really sad about this.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I have some thoughts on that. We'll talk about that later.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I also really liked Avery's coworker, the girl coworker. I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: don't know what her character's name was, but she was
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: like a great because she has her two other like
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: really close girlfriends that they would connect via zoom or
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: their phone calls or whatever. But then she had this
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: person like in person who she could like work off of,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the one that she was helping plan the wedding. Yeah,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: her name's Lucy. Her the actress's name is Fiona Rooum.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: She was cute.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: She's real cute. Anything else you liked?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, one last little scene when when Peter was
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: leading that children's art class, I just thought I was
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: very sweet.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I loved it and well done, well thought out. They
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: did a nice job in that moment like that, I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: thought so too.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish that we weren't working backwards from the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: all women just want to get married plot device. We
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: start with the veil and we work backward to the man.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I don't love it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: What would you like instead?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to make this work in a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Hallmark movie, because obviously we need them all to fall
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: in love to make it work. But I do think
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: it goes back to that, like, well, I'm going to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: buy the veil because my whole hope is to fall
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in love and get married.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, I understand, but I'm also trying to remember myself
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: as not married. I wondered if I that's all I
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: thought about, that I only think about getting married when
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I was in my twenties, before I got married, maybe
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And would I have also gone in on some like
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: would I have loved the idea of this veil that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: traveled between my friends now? Is it practical? No, it's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: not because who knows, like what style you have, whatever,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But I love the idea. I would have been all
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in on it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Just had a thought like maybe we you know, well,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that's what I kind of like about the three different girls,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: because you have Lacey, who's like desperate to fall in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: love and find romance, right, and you have Ali, who's
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: like the complete opposite, who is like, we're good, we're
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: fine as we are, blah blah blah. So I think
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it's kind of cool, Like I I'm interested to see
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: how the other two movies like out because if you
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: think of Ali Sweeney's character, she has no desire to
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: get married, so she's gonna have this veil and then
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: what you know, Yeah, she has no desire to get
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: married to her current dude.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We know they're breaking up in that movie. True, true, yes, yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I like the different attitudes towards marriage. I do like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that Ali's character in spite of pretending to be happy
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and her relationship isn't. Also like we got to get married, like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: because a lot of these characters we see in unhappy
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: relationships moving towards marriage excellent points.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: So what I wish for in this movie is for
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a quicker resolution to the misunderstanding of Avery not being
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the one getting married.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Indeed, I thought that lasted for too long.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Too long. I was like, is Peter a complete blockhead?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Like could he not figure this out sooner? Like ask,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: don't assume dummy.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, at no point prior to the wedding does he
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: ask about her fiance.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, And then he keeps getting like
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: mad at her and she's like, what the hell are you?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: You're hot and cold dude, Like what is going on?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Like it was just frustrating.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That part was frustrating, okay, but also do we believe
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that she's traveling with a veil in a clear garment bag?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Are we to believe that there's no part of her
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that thought? Huh, maybe he saw the veil and got
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the wrong idea.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well she could be a blackhead too. I guess
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the other thing is she's not wearing an engagement ring.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And I know not everybody has access to engagement rings
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: prior to getting married, but like, come on, dude, yep, yep, yep, yep.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I think they could have cut some of the misunderstanding
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and given more time to their wedding ceremony that too,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: which was two lines long.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah I know, I'm like, are we supposed to just
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: assume like they just cut like all the like, you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: the talky parts of the wedding Sarah right?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Or was their wedding ceremony? We were gathered here? Do
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you you're married?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: The last thing I wish for is less coworker competition
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: for the job promotion not needed, completely irrelevant to the storyline.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: It just was dumb, and they made her coworker so smarmy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: It just made me uncomfortable to watch him. He was
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: just sicky. I are again, that was the conflict, agree
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that we didn't need. Sometimes they just keep throwing stuff
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: in to keep us on our toes, keep the story
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: moving forward. I don't think we needed it. She could
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: have been vying for the promotion all on her own
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: without Ikey mcickerson thrown in a wrench.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I have several did you see that? Which also now
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is home to my complaints about the movie.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really what mine is. I've actually addressed a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: couple of them already. I'm gonna let you go first
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: because I don't have that many.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: But I have a big one. Go ahead, Okay, I hope.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna steal your big one. Go ahead. They're
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: leaving the hotel and they say, let's take a selfie,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and they turn the phone around, take a selfie with
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the veil, and then they show the photo that they took. Right,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: it's obviously not the photo they took because they're all
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: looking above the camera, like these ladies know how to
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: take a selfie, so obviously, like did you see the scene.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I saw the scene. I don't remember the photo.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, please go back. I'm gonna try to
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: get a screen cap if I can for show notes.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: But it's almost like they maybe took a screen grab
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: of the filming and then superimposed it onto the that's something.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: It was so weird. It's like literally they're looking above
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the camera on the phone like it's bizarre.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: That's funny, bizarre. I did like that they moved to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: get better lighting in that moment.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That was funny. Okay. So that's my point is like
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: focus on the details or don't like that was a
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: good point, Like, oh, the lighting's better over here, that's
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: very relatable. But then don't show the selfie if it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: not good.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what I mean, right, we didn't necessarily need to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: see it exactly. Okay, this is my question. Kevin McGary
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: has this terrible Boston accent. Throughout his character has this
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: terrible Boston accent. It's noticeable, and when he and Lacey
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: have their little chance meeting and they end up spending
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the day together, he's speaking in this terrible Boston accent
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and they get to the end of their meeting and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: she he goes, oh, I'm going back to Boston, and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: she goes, you're from Boston, so am I lady? Why
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: did we give him this terrible Boston accent? If not
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: for you to notice that he's clearly from Boston. If
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: this is where you live. Nobody else in the movie
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: has a Boston accent, not one person in the movie.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe she's an accent. Maybe she's ex his mother, Yeah, exactly.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, maybe he's a She was immune to
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: it because she lives in Boston, so she was like
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: not picking up on the Boston accent in San Francisco.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I hear you. I actually thought he wasn't leaning so
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: hard into it at the beginning of the movie, like
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: when they were like fighting for the cab and then
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: they went and whatever, went to the museum. I only
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: very heard it, just a little bit, and then it
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: was like no turning back from there.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did seem to slip in and out of it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Kevin McGary, they did you dirty because you're
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: so cute.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: You know what he sounded like in Goodwill Hunting when
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: they're like from Southeast Apples. Oh my god. It was
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: so like, I wonder if that's what he just watched
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: over and over and over again. I love you, Kevin Viccary,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: but not that accent. Yeah. Funny, Okay, Avery's museum. It's
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: a museum, right, Yeah, yeah, but is it in a house?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It was funny because I was trying to decide how
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I feel about that, because I don't think that's super
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: unusual for like a small town. Is this a small
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: town to have like a use a unique building for
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a museum. But yeah, it was a house. I would
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: say it was a house with a big slicking out front.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like they were in the dining room, like their
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: offices in the dining room. It was bizarre, super bizarre.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: And then they got married there. This is my mother.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, for that set right, Yes, but he's
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: a Hastings and they come from money. You think they're
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: getting married at this little like art house museum.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: If it's I met and fell in love outdoor space, Oh,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: But it was just okay, all right. I mean they're like, look,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: we got to get every shot we need from this
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: space so.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Well, And he made a big point of saying, like,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you know, women in the past have been with me
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: for my money, so it may have been out of
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: character were they to turn around and have this big, lavish,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: five star wedding. I don't know, dang you, Okay, I'm
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: just arguing for the sake of arguing I got you,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I gasped out loud when Avery says suggests that she
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: wants to do a wedding theme for the gala, because
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, that's a terrible idea. And
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: then and then and then I was like, wait a minute,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I like weddings, so that might be kind of fun.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: But then like the gala and the int didn't really
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: look like a wedding at all, so like I didn't
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: see I didn't see what.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Other than the invitation.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Invitation, yes, and she picked out a fugly one. By
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the way, I thought it was so ugly, but.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't have citrus on it or something.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I like citrus. I don't know. It just was not
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: my personal taste and not something I would have picked. Yeah,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: but you anyway, I thought the whole portrait part of
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the movie dragged on a little bit. Like I appreciated
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the storyline, like her finding this like old portrait and
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: like the drama to clean it and it might not
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: get done in time, and like all that stuff, but
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: it just was like, too too too, too, too, too, too,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: too long.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: That's funny because I thought that they Yeah, I thought
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: they did a nice job of making that feel real,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like with the curator and with his discussion. And there's
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: at one point where I'm like, oh, did they google
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: those terms? Because he's like, you got to do this
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: process and that that process. It's like they must have
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: looked up like how to restore art work and mature
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to throw those into the script.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Well, it was so funny too, because they're like, this
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: is the only guy in all of the world who
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: can repair this painting. Like, no, I'm sure there's people
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: out there right restores. There's got to be a bunch
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: of them, don't you think.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy that your small town little museum works
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is the best art restore in the world, right exactly.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, here's my last one. At some point, Peter
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: is complaining that basically he's this poor, rich guy who
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: isn't fulfilled with life, and I was like, dude, stop it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: And then he gets mad at Avery for midgeing it
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: in like such an offhand manner to his mom. Yeah,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and he gets pissed off. I was like, this guy
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: and his temper, like he's so judy moody.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really hated that because his mom he was
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: doing it out of this fake sense of obligation. His
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: mom didn't even really care that much that he was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a part of the foundation.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: He felt like, oh, it's gonna break her heart if
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not a part of the foundation anymore.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: But she didn't even care. I know, it was just
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: come on stupid. She didn't want it the best for him. Well, yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: all of that just made me mad. I just wanted
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: like her at some point to be like kick this
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: guy to the curb because he was treating her not kindly,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: like she was letting him like walk all over her.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't like his moodiness and how every time he
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: would get upset with her because he thought she was
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: leading him on because she was engaged, she would just
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: walk away.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Could we please just.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Have a conversation people like in the hotel? All he
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: had to do, and again there's no movie if this happens,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: but all he to do was be like, oh are
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you getting married? Like why do you have a veil?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: That's all he had to do, I know.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so instead of storming off like she had ruined
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: his life.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: As a reminder, our rating system is now out of
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: five stars for the listeners instead of four. So with
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that in mind, what did you rate this movie?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to see more. I gave it four stars.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Wow, I gave it three point seven five. Ah, four
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: stars feels like a really I almost gave it four.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: It felt really high. Three point seven five for me
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: felt like totally watchable. Would be fine if it came
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: on again. Is did not blow my mind the way
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: some of my favorite favorite movies have. Yikes, I'm scared.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I'm maybe I overly rated this then I.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Was just trying to keep it simple. Four stars, but okay,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: three point seventy five.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: You don't have to change your meaning.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm saying I approve of your three point
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: seven five.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Next week we get the Perfect Pairing starring naznine Contractor,
