  Speaker 2: Above the Clouds.

  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I couldn't find like just a

• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.

• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and it was always you a reunion the fans have

  Speaker 1: Sweet Pecon Summer is actually a Wes Brown Christine Coe movie.

  Speaker 1: I don't know why I was thinking otherwise. Tyler Hines
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: plays Jake Phelps. Tyler will reprise his role as Taylor
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in the upcoming Three Wisest Men later this month. He's
• 3:01

• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Matthew Clark voices the pilot and also plays the Ghost

• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I've brought it up many times.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I like that show, rip, I know, gone too soon.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Garfield Wilson plays the air martial ghost of Christmas Yet
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to Come. Among his eighty six acting credits include the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: movie Final Destination, Bloodlines and the series Virgin River.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Does say have lines in either of those shows either?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And finally, Emily Tenant plays Bobby. Emily was in The
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Wish Swap earlier this year and in twenty twenty three's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Holiday Hotline.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break and come right back to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: talk first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what was your first impression
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of Christmas above the Clouds?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well? We you and I talked via text about this
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: movie and about this topic ghosts aside. The real threat
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was coffee near that white outfit.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I was stressed for her.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Listen, I that you're gonna wear something like leisurely like
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that on a long haul travel, but not white.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I wondered how many they had on set, because she
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: filmed for days on end right the same thing, and.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Even just like sitting in like dirty seats.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The boat would get all dirty.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I was very worried about it. What was your first impression?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Lightning does strike twice. Tyler Hines and Aaron Craikou are
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a match made at thirty thousand feet.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Look at you. I have some thoughts.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, why don't I kick off with this and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: then you can tell me your counterpoints?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Obviously I'm a big fan of Tyler and Aaron together. Again,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I think they have a lot of natural.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Chemistry, and I think that gives the movie.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: A strong foundation to begin with. I feel like you
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: can feel the history between them. Their banter works for them.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know, It's like these are people who get Hallmark
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and they get what it's like to be in a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Hallmark movie. They speak the Hallmark shorthand they know how
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to deliver the heart and the humor.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: It doesn't feel forced.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I agree with all of that. Okay, I have a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: feeling you think I'm going to I just thought maybe, No,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I really like this movie. But this is an Aaron
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Kraikout movie, full stop.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not a Tyler Heines movie.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Not a Tyler Heines movie. And the hei Nies are
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be pissed about it, just like they were pissed
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: about never being frissed. That was not a Tyler Heines
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: movie either.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You make an excellent point.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: This was fully about Ellen Neezer, which can you imagine? Look,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I get the joke, but could you imagine if that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was your name?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: No, as a child? That would be rough stuff.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Forget about it, right. I loved seeing them reunited together,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: but this is absolutely her vehicle. I think she carries
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it really well. There's a lot of humor, there's a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: lot of heart. I liked it. I liked her, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I think Tyler does what Tyler does best. He's calm,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he's confident, he's charming. When he tells Ella that he
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: loves her at the end, I almost melted. I thought
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it was such a good scene.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It was just right.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It was just right, So I liked it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Now, you were known to love a Christmas Carol riff.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Well that's funny you say that, because my very first
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like is I love a classic retelling when it's done right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And I thought this was a fun, modern take on
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the story.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I thought this It struck a nice balance. It was clever,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it was cozy, it was familiar. I know that some
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of the names were perhaps a little bit too on
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the nose.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't mind it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Ellen Neezer, Marlene Jacobson, Bobby Cratchett.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: The writers were having fun with it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I didn't hate any of that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I liked the dose.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Being part of the flight crew, pilot, flight attendant air
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Marshall keeps it all thematic and modern, especially when you're
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: filming within a quote end quote airplane.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it made sense, made sense.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I was so worried that Ella
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was gonna stay unlikable, but they pulled it off. She
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was real unlikable. I was like, is this redemption going
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to happen? Yeah, obviously we're familiar with this story, like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we're gonna come around to this character. She was so unlikable,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So I was happy that they landed the plane. Again,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: no pun intended here, but all those like it was.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: The tipping point for me was the stuff with Tim
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the little boy, when she's like watching over and he's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: ill and all that realization.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's a lot, yeah, because that's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: fully outside of her right when she's seeing all this
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: stuff with Jake. That's something that she's personally involved in,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and I think I think she feels a little bit
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: torn about how all that played out, right, but when
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: she sees that Tim is caught up in it and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the way if her actions affect people completely outside of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: her orbit.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this poor sweet little boy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I love that Emily Tennant was in it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But hello, why are you in such a small supporting role?
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Either if she's just in town or she's friends or like,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I just thought it was so weird,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Like we've seen her in two big movies.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Sure, why are.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You in this tiny roll? Well, there are no tiny rolls,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: there are no small roles. Whatever it is.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I loved seeing her in it. I thought the production
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: value on this movie was pretty high. And the transitions
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: from the ghosts as they're traveling through time, I actually
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: really liked it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I like that all that stuff too. I didn't like
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the ghost of the future.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: What is that? What it's called Christmas Yet to Come?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like the graveyard scenes and all that stuff I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: thought were a little bit a little bit hokey mm
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: hmmm hmm. But sorry, home geez, I'm gross. But I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: did like the transitions. I really loved the ghosts, the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: first two ghosts. The third ghost didn't say anything and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: never does, but the first two were enjoyable, really enjoyable.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So this may be.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Aaron Craig House movie, but Tyler does make a splash
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in several scenes. First of all, no one can throw
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a line away like Tyler Hines. When she reappears in
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the bathroom, opens the door. She's wearing the inflated life vest.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Stop it, stop it, yes, go ahead, and he.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Goes, you're good. Nobody can do that like Tyler Hines.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But the best part about that scene is when they
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: opened the door and the person is standing there. The
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: implication is, what are these two?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Man and woman?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Do you eat in the bathroom on an airplane in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the Mile High Club? Yes? And they're just like looking
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: at eye? Yeah great, I thought it was so good.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Also, while Jake's future as a lonely librarian might be tragic,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: my gut, did he look hot?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Totally and shout out. You know, they did these college
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: erascenes right where they're supposed to be a lot younger. Oh,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Megan's making a face. Yeah it's hard, how are you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: going to make Okay? I don't know how old these
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: actors are. I'm gonna say they're in their early forties. Perhaps,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: how do you look twenty?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: It's in my wishes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk more about it. But the flashbacks worked
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: for me. I thought the college erascenes were good even
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: beyond that, obviously, because we got Jake and Ella beyond
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: college too, you know, in their early adult relationship. It
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: worked for me. I like that we saw it and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: staid we were just told about it, so I didn't
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: hate it. I'm interested to hear your wishes about it. Also,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: can I tell you something? Yes, for some reasons I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: can't explain. It might just be this particular story, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I was on the verge of tears watching this entire movie,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and I don't know why.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You know me, I'm kind of a black heart Christmas hater.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: It's something about this story always hits for me.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I really enjoyed watching this movie.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: So did I So did I.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Would you like to talk wishes?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Sure? Oh wait, one more, one more thing. Peter Benson.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I loved Peter Benson. I'm glad that he directed. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: also just love that he shows up as this employee,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and I loved all the like snarky comments about their
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: mean boss, the crampist comments and all that stuff. The
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Christmas party that she wasn't at, and comments about the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: office being cold.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I loved all of it. Well, let's
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: talk wishes.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It is hard to age someone backwards fifteen years, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: we have an easier time of it with women because
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: because you can change your look with your hair.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: So I didn't fully buy Tyler Hines as a young
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: grad student.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I did. They did give him a little bit of
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a different hair look, a little bit, a little bit
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of a like a Caesar sure he I like the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: brushing forward of Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: But you know, okay, what are you gonna do?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: My only other wish was your first impression. I understand
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the choice of a sweatsuit for a twenty hour flight,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: but I was so worried about it getting dirty and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: wondered how many of them they had available.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Sin, she's wearing it through so many scenes. Yeah, what
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: are your wishes as a nervous flyer myself? You know
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: when she first falls asleep and like and then wakes
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: up and like has that whole like she watches that
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: video of her old boss or whatever. But it's like
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: red flashing lights and like kind of a panic inducene.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And they have to jump out of the door. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: did not like.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Any of that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I hear you. I did not like that, I hear you.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: My other wish is I had talked about this in
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: our preview episode. I really wanted some sort of guest
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: cameos in the roles of the ghosts now, I said earlier.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I did like who they chose, I like, I like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: those characters, but I do think a cameo would have
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: been fun here. I also would have loved to see
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: friend of the show Erica Tuvlay in one of these roles.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I think he would have been great.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I was wishing for him as the flight attendant.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: He would have been great.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I agree, it was like Bobo Erica Tuvlay. Mm hmm.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Let's talk to you to see that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have a I'm gonna nitpick here. When Ella
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: is visiting the present, yeah, the ghost she goes to
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: events that are happening as she's flying. So she goes
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to her work Christmas party that she's not at because
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: she's traveling. She goes to her sister's Christmas Eve event,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: which she's not at because she's flying. But then she
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: goes First of all, those are both nighttime events. Then
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: it's daytime and she's at Jake's work. Jake is on
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the plane. Now it's present ish because it had just happened.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: But she's like, I don't understand why this is happening.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: They're like, this is happening right now. And then she
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: goes to Jake's and like, well, obviously this isn't happening
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Right. It was a little a little odd, a little
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: fudge and the uh it's present dish, Yeah, yes, exactly, Okay,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: all right. My only other one is the red scarf
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: reappears at the end. Yes, and he's like, huh, that's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: our scarf.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: We could have been a little more surprised by the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: reappearance of a scarf after all these years.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she had been using it. She took it
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: on the flights with her because she unwrapped it in
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a gift. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense of like
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: where it came from, but she didn't take it on
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the flights because Bobby couldn't find it. Correct.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: So just the idea that it appeared in a rapt gift.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You're like, huh, look at that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm a little bit of Christmas magic. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: guess exactly what did you see? Tiny airplane detail. Ella's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: seat reclines a little bit, but Jake's does not reclin
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, this is a first class flight that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they're in. You would be in a full flat sleeper seat. Yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: full flat sleeper sleep. They show Ella's like reclining just
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a tiny bit, but at one point Jake goes to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: sleep and he's like, you know, chin to chest sleeping.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: You would never never. I mean I thought they did
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: okay with recreating what a interior of a first class Sure,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and you couldn't do a full pod situation.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't have made sense for filming.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you couldn't. Yeah, you wouldn't be able to see
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: bodies and whatever. So I mean it was decent. There
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was one line that made me laugh out loud is
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: when Ella wakes up and she goes, something must have
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: been wrong with that Champagne and her boss, the old
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: boss who had died. She goes, yeah it was proc Yeah, great,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I got I thought it was so funny. It was
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: one of the funniest lines of the entire movie.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, I loved that, loved it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Also one final did you see that it was a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: missed opportunity? We have Jake talking I think it's too
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Ella's sister, and they're talking about if he's met anyone.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: He's talking about how he hasn't met anyone, he hasn't
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: had that same spark since he had with Ella. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: here they should have used the word zing, which they use,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and it was always you missed opportunity, opportunity.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I haven't found that zing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Let's talk smoocer meter.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, let's talk smucco meter.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I thought their kiss was top tier.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a nine out of ten for me.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: It Yeah, we have not yet exceeded the Royal Montana
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Christmas yet.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Warren Christy is not going to be knocked off.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: He has set the bar incredibly high, and I'm not
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: sure that we'll get there. I think maybe if I
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: hadn't seen that kiss first, some of these nine out
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: of ten kisses might have been ten out of ten.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: But the bar is too.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: High, and there's still time lots. What did you rate Christmas?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Above the Clouds? I gave it four and a half stars.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: You know, I give it four and a half stars too,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, why why wasn't it a five star movie. Yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: it's just that Jenna Sequa, just that little special.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, you were gonna say this, no, no, go ahead.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I saw an interview with Jonathan Bennett the other day
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: where he was talking about finding Mister Christmas and about
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: what the show is about, and he was like, look,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: we see the guys, we know what they look like,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: but what we're looking for throughout the show is that
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: unnameable thing of I just like watching you. You can't
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: describe it, you can't teach it. It's just there's something
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: about you that I want to watch. And I think
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: perhaps for me sometimes a five star movie is not
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: a nameable thing. It just you know when you see it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Well, let me let me present this to you. We
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: knew what we were gonna get with a reunification of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Aaron and Tyler, right we've seen them work together. We
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: knew where we're going to get something good. My only
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: five star movie right now is Ted Cooper. Same and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: when I went in to watch Ted Cooper, it hit
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: me over the head because I was not expecting any
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of that, and that's why that lands as a five
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: star movie for me.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, you make an excellent point, so I'm happy with
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: my four and a half stars.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm dying to hear what the heinies have to say,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: what they think about this.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I am I going to be defending this movie for the
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: rest of the season. I get sometimes real upant arms
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: when people hate a movie that we liked, and I
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: feel like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: They're wrong about the reasons they didn't like it. Well, okay,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: we liked Never Been Christed, we liked Never Been Chris.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking, because I think people missed the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: point of that movie. Even Tyler himself said the whole
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: point of that movie was that it wasn't about him.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: He was happy to make a movie where he was
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: not the focus. This movie was not about him either.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Definitely a bigger role than Never Been Chris, and he's definitely.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: A co star.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: You know, there's no other additional person that you could
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: put alongside Aaron Craikow in this movie.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: He'd say, but you're right, this is the same. No, no, no, no, no, no,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: that's not what I mean.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I mean there's no other person who's usurping that co
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: star role in this movie as it stands. Yeah, Daniel
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Listen would have been great. I do love him way
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: in he needs Let us know Girls Gone Homemark at
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: gmail dot com.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: You know, Tyler's got another movie come in coming up.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, and it was weak or two.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: So there's plenty of Tyler this season to go around.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: This is enough, and he'll be on the cruise, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: he'll be in Kansas City, and he'll be at Christmas Con.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit of Tyler for everyone. If you
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: were on the cruise, I hope you were kind to
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the man.
