  Speaker 1: from listener Kia and the email title is Mystery one
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: O one has me in a choke hold. She says,

• 1:25
  Speaker 1: That's nice as The email title says, Mystery one O
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: one is my latest obsession. Oh my god, I've been
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: wanting to watch for a while because I love Joe Wagner,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: not just on Hallmark, but she's a badass in Lioness
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on Paramount Plus side note, do I need to watch
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that show? But your summer school reviews pushed me to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: finally sit down and start watching. Today, I'm writing to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: say a few things. One, I am with you. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: am so nervous that this series is going to end
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: without an Amy and Travis kiss. I'd prefer a relationship,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but I'll settle for a kiss. I was swooning at
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the end of Dead Talk when they were talking and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: embracing at the end, and she obviously hadn't seen Movie
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: five at this point. Number two, I did to see
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that that. I couldn't believe you two didn't mention. You
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: talked about Amy's gorgeous dress, but you didn't mention how
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: quickly she snatched her arm from Bishop's arm when she
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: saw her dad in Travis. It made me laugh out loud. Ps,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm in La and good lord, the number of Tesla's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is out of control. That's hilarious. That is hilarious. A
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: total side note about Tesla. My husband owns a Tesla
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and he's getting ready to buy a new car, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the other day he tells me, I decided I'm not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: going to buy another Tesla, which I'm happy about it. Sure,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, what made you come to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that conclusion? He goes, well, I was leaving the gym
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and I decided to count how many Tesla's I would
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: get to before I got to my car. And I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was like, ann, He's like fifteen. Oh my god. Anyway,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so good news for me, good news for you. Very exciting.
• 2:56

  Speaker 1: Movies and Mysteries. Let's take a quick break and come
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: right back with our first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: your first impression of Killer Timing? Well, this one delivers
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: bodies in a drywall and an ex who nearly walks
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: away with the whole movie. Oh. My first impression is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: how many times can I say? No? Wait? This is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: my favorite mystery one I want you know. I was
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit nervous because I asked Megan off Mike
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: prior to recording, like, oh, hey, how did you like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: this movie? And She's like, well, you'll just have to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: wait and see, And I was like ooh. Because the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: IMDb reviews are kind of all over the place. The
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: IODB reviews are interesting because I found that most of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: them were in on like the Amy and Travis of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it all, but a lot of people didn't like the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: mystery storytelling piece. Spoiler. I like the mystery what. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: have some criticisms about it, but I liked it. Well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: let's start with what you liked. Well, first of all,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it's Aaron K. Hill. M h slam dunk for me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I loved her as Travis's ex Kate. She adds a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: lot of chemistry and complexity without falling into the typical
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like woman on woman CALFI over some dude. In fact,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I love that her character is so likable, and I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: love that scene where she tells Travis how much she
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: likes Amy. I'm like, that is some like grown woman
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: kind of energy. Yeah, that's a girl's girl right there. Yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm here for it. And I was thinking while I'm
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: watching this, I was like, you know, I know, we
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: see Aaron K. Hill, like, she does a couple of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: movies and she's in Holidays right now. We really liked her,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: We really really liked her as Nora in Holidays. Yes,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: she's my favorite. In fact, if you're a Girl's Gone
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Homemark Newsletter subscriber. The newsletter that went out this morning
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: is what you should watch for Christmas in July, just
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of suggestions from us and Holidays is on
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the list, and I did name Sheriff Nora as our
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: favorite part of that. She's great. But what I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: thinking was I like her in a detective role. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: think I would really like watching her in some sort
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of mystery series for sure, for one hundred percent. Like
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I could see her as the like a Mariska Hargeta. Yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I want her as the hectic Yes, me too, me too.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I really really liked her. You liked her as well.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I loved her. I love the addition of that character.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I think we're at the right place in the series
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to get a big time character addition. You know, every
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: mystery movie introduces new characters, and even in a franchise
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: like this, we're introducing potential recurring characters. But I think
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to introduce someone as strong as Aaron Cahill, you needed
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to have fully established the other people. And I think
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it comes at exactly the right time, and especially the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: right time in Amy and Travis's developing relationship. Another thing
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I think is done well based on what we know
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of the characters is those are really nice. It's small,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: but a really nice emotional moment when Amy calls her
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: dad asking him to head to the hospital while she
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: stays behind to answer detective questions, Like you can see
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the depth of her feelings for Travis in that moment,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: but you can also see the relationship she has with
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: her dad just through that phone call. Jill Wagner can act. Agree,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jill Wagner for a minute. You and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I are haters. We were worried about bringing and a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: certain bias. Yeah, she's a great actor. She's really good,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and I have a hard time I really do have
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a hard time, like separating when they had that whole
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: big shuffle of Hallmark actors who went over to the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: other channel and like made these declarations and I was like, Okay,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: well you and I don't see at eye on things,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: so goodbye. It is so hard when somebody is truly,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: truly a good actor, like to Yeah, I'm not judging
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: her on the content of her character here, but I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have absolutely no idea what was behind her motivation to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: go to Great American Family. I don't know if she's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: currently making new movies over there. I am not paying
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: attention to what's happening over there, but based on I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in a vacuum, she's a great actor. Right, Maybe we
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: do need to watch Lionis. Yeah, like Nicole Kidman is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in that. I don't know anything about that show at all.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: My husband watches Day he says it's great. Paramount Plus
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is a streamer that we do have, and I never
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: open it up ever. Really, I don't watch anything on
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Paramount pluss. I know Big Brother stars this week. I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna watch it. Is it on Paramount Plus?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Well it airs the next day on Paramount Oh it's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: still on CBS C Yeah, I still actually have cable.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Megan and I, for those who don't know, used to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: really get into Big Brother. Yeah, we did whole prediction
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: episodes back in the days when we were on Big Brother.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: We were on Big Brother, like what was that? They
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: had a tell us your favorite Big Brother character fan
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: activation and we sent in a video and it was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: during our YouTube days, and so we had been recording,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: so we had like our light and camera and everything.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: We were miked. We had like Lavalier mics on and
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we recorded our because we loved he was a dentist.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I don't remember his name. Johnny Mac, Johnny Mack, that's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: what it was. And they played some of the fan videos.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, they were not good. They
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: were all poorly lit. It was horrible. Arts looked great,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: ours looked great. And then people came for us on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Twitter back when Twitter existed, and they were like, they're
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a plant. They're wearing mics. But yeah, we had our
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: fifteen seconds of fame on Big Brother. That episode actually
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: aired on my ten year wedding anniversary. Oh, I remember
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: being out of town when it aired. Yeah, we were
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: both we were in the same place. Oh, that's right,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that is right. I forgot about that. I forgot about that. Funny. Yeah,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: So Big Brother airs on well, I think streams the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: next day. So it starts soon, starts Thursday night this week,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night, July tenth as this episode airs. Yes, speaking
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of likes, I have a mini one. I'm glad we
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: got closure for Claire taking a detective job in Honolulu.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Happens off screen, but at least we haven't forgotten about her.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Let me get Bud talking about it. I appreciate the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: attempt at closure. Good for Claire getting an opportunity good
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm happy for her. I mean I would have
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: taken that job too. Absolutely a couple likes for me.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I thought Hallmark really brought some suspense with this episode.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: One plot thread fizzles for me. I will talk more
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: about that in a minute, but I do think there
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: were some solid mystery angles that gave this movie a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: little bit of a darker, more thriller kind of vibe. Huh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I love it. The Wolfman revenge arc I thought was suspenseful,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: especially when it keeps Travis in danger, like now we're
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: worried about Travis. Yes, right, I thought that was good.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: The shady couple who live next door with you know that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I was intrigued by that whole storyline. And then when
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they Travis knocks down that drywall and there is a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: mummified body in the wall. What yet, did this movie
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: give you elements of horror movie? Now? Stick with me.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: There are several moments we believe throughout this movie that
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Travis is in danger, and so they are aware of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Travis being in danger. But there are several moments where
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Amy walks away, like Amy goes home by herself. Yeah yeah,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And then at one point she even goes to her
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: father's house because there's been a shooting at her house.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But it's almost like the don't go into the basement
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: moment when you're watching on because you know Amy's in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: danger too, or at least potentially, even if you don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: know what's going on, you know that if they're together
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: when these things are happening, she has the potential to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: be in danger too. And then her dad leaves and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: she's alone in the house, and you're like, oh, good,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: don't pick up the phone, don't go in the basement.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Oh and don't do all of those things. I'm right
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: with you. I absolutely agree, absolutely agree. My last thing
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that I really liked stick with me here the explosion
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that kicks off the movie. It's a little TV low budget.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's a little hokey, but still startling, startling, and I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: like that it starts there and then loops back to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the beginning and then we catch up in real time.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I thought that was cool how they did that. Yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I really like that too. I have three little likes. Okay,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: wrap this up. I thought there were some great comedic moments.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: This series has consistently brought the humor even in some darker,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: heavier storylines, the Purp saying this can all be explained
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and Travis saying, yeah, I just explained it all. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: then when they're at the hospital, Graham's trying to like
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: make Amy get there about who Kate is? Great, He's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like Travis ever mentioned that his ex wife's name was Kate,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and Amy's like, no, he was her name was Kate? Like,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: get there faster, Amy. The phone call from Graham interrupting
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: their nice moment at the end, great callback. Loved that
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: they reincorporated Graham Bianna you know what he's got killer
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: timing yeah. And finally we get a better fight scene
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: from Amy than we did from Travis last week when
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the IT guy breaks into our house and she she
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: throws salt in this face and she kicks him with
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: her heel. It's a whole you know. Oh it was
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: like a roundhouse kick. Yes, you know. Christopher Plaw himself
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: commented on our reel. I pulled that clip and he
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: commented on it, and he was like, great feedback and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: shouldn't let me know. I'll do that next time on
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the holding Somebody Ahead, and oh, I love it. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: haven't seen his comment on it. I hope he wasn't
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: being snarky. I don't. I mean, I don't. I didn't
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: get that impression. I'm choosing to believe he was just
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: being funny. It was the comment was one hundred percent
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on team Christopher Palaw like, you could have taken the dude.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: It was just a funny. You know, it is so
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: funny that scene what we're talking about. If you guys
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: didn't listen, we're talking in the last movie, in movie
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: number five, he gets in a fight with the bad
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: guy and Travis could have easily taken this guy down.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. I watched
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: this movie two weeks ago. I was getting ready and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that fight scene, and in my head,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I go, there would have been there would have been
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: two hits, me hitting you and you hitting the floor.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: This is what I was thinking. And I was like, oh, yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that's so funny. That's what totally would have happened with
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: this movie. I mean, if that was like a real
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: fight in anyway, Mystery one on one has us in
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a choke hold too. Yes, let's talk wishes for me.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I got to say the storyline with the IT guy,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: maybe one of the dumbest motives ever. Yeah, it doesn't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: hold water for me, like big yikes. Yeah, Look, can
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I say I did clock him as the bad guy
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the instant he walked on the screen, of course, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: then in the next scene that he's in when he
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: comes to Amy's office, My husband walked in the room
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and he goes, is that the bad guy? Like he
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: hasn't seen one second of this movie and clocked him
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: as the bad guy. I just her taking the laptop
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: was the icing on the bad plot line cake for me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It just felt like he's so in love with her
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that he's going to kill to make sure that she
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: comes with him. No, yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't land
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: for me at all. I did really like the Wolfman storyline,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: like I thought that was suspenseful and good. Yeah, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the whole revenge piece of it all. Yeah. Yeah. When
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Travis is on the stand and he's like, I'm in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Garrison now, I was like, no, don't tell him where
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: you're at, dude. Yeah. But the it guy who wants
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to kill Amy, No, no, it does not work for
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: him me. No. And also he could probably hack her
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: email without having her physical computer. You're the it guy
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: like this stuff does not live on a physical space.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, your eighteen year old could probably exactly. Computer.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: We're doing a lot of college paperwork these days, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes I sit with my kid really's doing it, and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: just like watching the way he like navigates the Internet.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and just computers in general. I'm like, how'd
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you do that? You know, I have a seventeen year
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: old And she laughs and my face at how slow
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I am navigating, like the buttons on my phone. Oh
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: my kid's like, Mom, just give it to me. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I think of myself as pretty techy. Me too. My
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: son's a gamer, so he uses a bunch of keyboard
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: shortcuts even in his everyday life. Oh so, anyway, the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: whole New World, I have a couple wishes. Honestly, my
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: entire wishes is the I don't buy it segment, starting
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: with the it guy. But the next thing I don't
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: buy is the next door neighbor. Dude, it's just gonna
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: walk into a crime scene and what walk out with
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a mummified body. I didn't understand his intentions a lot
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of things here. Does he not see the detective standing
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: right in front of the house exactly, You're just gonna
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: lift the yellow tape and walk on in and then yes,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: are you he doesn't know the state of the house
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: inside that they have already? Wait have they already? They
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: had expose, they had it right. So was he just
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: gonna like dig into the drywall with his bare hands
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and then what they're gonna come back and there's gonna
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: be a hole in the wall and they'd be like,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that's weird, that's weird. Yeah, that was weird. Uh. The
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: fact that he walked in the front door and broad
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: daylight was the hardest to buy for me. And finally,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: as much as I am team Amy Winslow is a badass,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I don't fully buy that she would be put solely
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: in charge of choosing the new dean of students. They're
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: not going to give that to another professor. Maybe she'd
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: be on the committee to vet these people. But someone
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: who gets paid to make decisions like that is going
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to make decisions like that, particularly when Amy's like, yo,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I got a conflict of interest here, and they're like,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: don't worry, we trust that you'll get it handled. We
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: just need you to get it done. And then the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: hardest part for me is, like that storyline is dropped,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: like she talks about like we have six days to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: make a decision, and then she spends all this time
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: investigating the wolfman situation with Travis, and it's only picked
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: up toward the very end. It's a little a little
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: messy for me. Yeah, I agree, I agree, one little
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: final wish for me. No Holly again. And we do
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: get mentioned of her and her coffee shop, but we
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: don't see her. I know she's gone. I don't have
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: any did you see that? I don't either, and I
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: only have one per IMDb. Okay, per IMDb. It says
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Amy mentions the body in the wall reminds her of
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Edgar Allen Poe's murder in the Rue Morgue. Travis asks
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: if Poe wrote about bodies in a wall, and Amy replies,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in the Chimney, Poe did write a story about a
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: body and a hidden wall called the Black Cat, And
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: any professor of literature that specializes in mystery writers and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: stories would have known that Poe writes about a lot
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: of weird, like the heart buried in the floorboards, some
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: dark stuff. You know. Pae comes up a lot for
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: us on the podcast. Yeah, we did. John Christian Plummer
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: write the Murder at Mosby Movies the Jade Mysteries, Now, yeah,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I mean I think it's a classic dark, you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: murdery situation to reference. I did want to say that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: several people have written in to us referencing an interview
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: done over on The Homewark Mysteries and more podcasts with
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: John Christian Plumber where he does go through his vision
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: for the next movie, and they've encouraged us to listen.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not listening until after the finale that we get. Yeah,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: he has a vision for like the next one. Yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: got it. Oh that's interesting. I'm interesting. I have not listened,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and it's for the same reason why I didn't watch
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Movie seven before we recorded this, because I wanted this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: experience to be pure without knowing what's coming. And I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: want my Movie seven experience to be pure, even though
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I kind of know what's coming because it's been spoiled,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to know the future. I want
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to watch it and then I will go listen to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: that interview and we can discuss his thoughts on that. Nice.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I'll put a link in our show notes. Yeah, well,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I think I know what you rated this movie. But
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: go ahead and tell me who'd you ride this movie?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think you know. I gave it four point
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: seventy five. It's nearly perfect. Yeah, I actually gave it
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the same rating because I wanted to give it five
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: stars because the viewing experience was so fun. It's a
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: really fun movie to watch. Just some of the mystery
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: pieces of tea stuff. Yeah, I am the neighbor. Who
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, the dude killed his wife and put her
• 24:06
