• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Hallmark Summer School. Do you see the play there that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I did? Like because it's summer, but also because we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: are going to be watching and reviewing for the very
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: first time the Miss one on one canon and she
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was a professor.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I've kicking up what your foot in?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Did you get it?
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So we will be doing all seven of the

  Speaker 1: Mystery one on one movies throughout the summer, uh huh,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: as well as the hit first season of Mistletoe Murders,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: which is we haven't seen either, correct, And I gotta
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: tell you chat GPT came up with this next line,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and I love it. It's going to be a killer summer.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Meg's like, no, I hate everything about it. I don't
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You hate mysteries. I don't love mysteries. I'm looking forward
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to the Mistletoe Murders series, and I like Chris Paalaha. Okay,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think Mystery one one's gonna be bad. It
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: has a good following. And I have liked a number
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of the mysteries at Hallmark has done, like dial One
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: for Murder, loved it, cases of Mystery.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Lane love it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You know, I just I don't love a mystery for
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the sake of a mystery.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Let's say that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: This is what I think is going to happen now
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: many many It wasn't many years ago. It was a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: few years ago. We did do the first episode of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Mystery one oh one as like a summer Yeah, a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: summer thing. It's almost similar to what we did here.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: A first impression, right, I rewatched it last night. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: think you're really going to like it. I think I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: liked it the first time. I liked it the first
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: time too. But now that we have a relationship with
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: one Christopher Palaha, sure, yeah, I totally agree.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That's definitely going to change the vieings totally changes the experience.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And I think I think in addition, the mystery storytelling
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: is truly like the subplot.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Of the show.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And we also know the chemistry that Polaha and Wagner
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: have after reviewing Pearl and Paradise exactly, So I'm looking
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: forward to that, yes, exactly.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a fun summer. Okay, Now go
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: ahead with the regular housekeeping stuff.
• 3:54

• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And we're going to take a quick break before we
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: come right back with some hot takes on Sue Thomas FBI. Well, Wendy,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the time has come. We've talked about it, we've worried
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: about it. I turned on Sue Thomas FBI yesterday. It
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: is an hour and twenty nine minutes of a pilot episode,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and I immediately texted you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's twenty nine minutes, and I was like, no, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: watched it on Peacock. It's available on Peacock as well
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: as Helmerk plus Wow and on Peacock. It's split up
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: into two episodes, so when the first one ended, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was like, is that it is? It over? Like that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: was really fast, and then I realized there was a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: second part. So yeah, this was not a great show,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like at all.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: For me.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that are weird about it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Here's my here's truly my first impression. We have a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: lead actor who has a disability. She is hard of hearing. Fine, Like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that's totally cool. I'm like totally fine with that. But
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: this show is called Sue Carter fb I Thomas. It's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a Sue Carter. I watched Sue Carter. Well Carter was
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: last week's show. Anyway, this show is called Sue Thomas
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: f b I e ye, I am under the impression
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that our lead cannot see. Yeah, and then therefore we
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: need a scene eye dog because her she has a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: companion dog that helps her.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Uh huh, he's her ears.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Which is fine. I know that makes sense.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: As I texted you, Sue Thomas fb ear is less compelling.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It is less compelled, So they really they were like, man,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: this would be great if we could have a show
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: about a blind FBI agent. We'll call it Sue Thomas FBI.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And they're like, can't make it work blind? Can you
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: do death? Change the freaking time, And they did not
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: change the title.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm all for.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: A lead that has a companion dog that's gonna help
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: her do her job. Like that's really cool to me.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually said the disability piece is the most
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: interesting thing here. Like, I loved the visual representation of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the challenges she faced.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Being part of hearing. I agree.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: When they show her as a child in the classroom
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and it goes silent every time the teacher turns around,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, that's tell such a story right there. Yeah,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: when they show, you know, her mom fighting for her.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: When they show these moments where all the different ways,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: you know, she gets arrested by this police officer and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: he's yelling. I have issues with it, but like she
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: can't hear him, and when the mechanic's trying to speak
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to her the men, I thought it was actually important
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that they continued to remind you that these are all
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the ways at her not being able to hear manifest
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in her life.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Sure. And then her dog.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I actually thought that was really interesting when she was like, oh,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: he's my ears, Like he lets me know when someone's
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: trying to get my attention or the doorbells ringing or
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the phone.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Great. I thought all of that was really cool. Same however,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this show.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Was so slow, so slow, clunky, and.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Just screams like we didn't have bunch of a budget here.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I have some other issues with this show.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. This girl has so much trauma in her life.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: She loses her hearing spontaneously as a young child, Her
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: childhood best friend dies in a bus accident, and she
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: blames herself, her entire life right for that accident. Then
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: her dog gets shot. You're gonna shoot the dog? Excuse me?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I was real. I was like what, uh huh.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And then they take it to a human hospital. It's
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: like laying in the bed with the sheet over him.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, come on, yes, even the nicest that
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: they're in a wire cage in that. It just it
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: just was like, it's enough that she has challenges in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: her life because she's hard of hearing.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: That is enough.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: She didn't need trauma on top of trauma on top totally.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I agree. I agree. One of my biggest the problems
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: was how they portrayed Who's character. To me, she comes
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: off as overly naive. For example, there is a scene
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: where she is giving testimony and she can read lips,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: so she's giving this testimony of.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: What she read. It's basically like a conversation she heard
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: or what she read. Anyway, Then she turns while on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the stand to the judge and goes something about like,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I hope your stomach feels better. I read your lips
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: earlier that you needed an anti acid because you have
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: an upset stomach from lunch. And I was like, no
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: person would ever say something like that. Yeah, that was weird.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: It she was trying to prove her point right that
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: she was reading lips, but like she would know that
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that's a private conversation that you're not supposed.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: To be reading lips.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, come on, you don't if you have the ability
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to read lips. And the judge's sidebarring with the attorneys,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that's a not for your eyes situation, right, But it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: just was like the way she like.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: It just I was like, she's not.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Dumb, She's like a capable professional that clearly has this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: unique skill which is very cool to use the federal
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: agency to use I just want to just maybe okay.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: But also she's like driving, She's like, I'm joining the FBI.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: She moves to Washington, d C. And they get there
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: and they're like, you're in special departments? Did she not
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: know what job she had been hired for?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Us?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: She drove all the way across the country and she's like, well,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: this isn't the job I wanted. Come on, They're like,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you're in the FBI, Come on out what I don't know?
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Also, this show very much showed its age two thousand
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and two. There were a lot of commonly accepted.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: But isn't it wild when you read that it's in
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: two thousand and two, wouldn't you been like, this is
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: like nineteen eighty five with the words that we use.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Were we still using these words twenty years ago?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Apparently so? And on Network TV? Yeah, you know what.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: The word I'm referring to is the R word, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I personally find it offensive. I don't use it personally.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I agreat, But we.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Were using that word in two thousand and two because
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it is used often in Gilmore Girls really. M hmm.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm in a Gilmore Girl's rewatch, but we're only in
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: season one. I have not come across it or clocked
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it yet. You know, it used to be a socially
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: acceptable way. It obviously became like a slur, right, but
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it became a socially acceptable way it was to describe people.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: It is no longer accepted, and it's jarring when I
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: hear someone use it in my life, I'm like, what
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: That is not cool?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Can I talk about some other words that I bumped on?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: The dog trainer calls Levi schizophrenic. Oh yeah, and I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: was like, wait a minute. First of all, he's obviously
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: not so is that a word that we were using
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to describe like just a little bit off?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: That's not cool.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: That's like when someone would jokingly use the word like
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: bipolar for someone who's emotional. Not cool people.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Also a line that I did not really understand. It's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: towards the end of a movie, but it's a flashback
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to when Sue was meeting Levi and he was in.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: His outdoor cage.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: The trainer is describing, like these rescue dogs being rehabilitated
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: into service animals as a sort of welfare reform, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know what that means, but I.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Don't think I like it. Explain to me what you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: think it means welfare reform.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I don't Why can't we just say we're rehabilitating rescue.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: That's a good question.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Felt I don't know. I can't make it make sense.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: But it didn't feel kind. Yeah, No, I hear you,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I hear you.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: There was something I really liked.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Tell me, I think I know what it is. Nineties
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: throwback country.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So the show opens with the song who I Am
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: by Jessica Andrews. Look, I could if somebody said to me,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: when did you know that song Who I Am by
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Jessica Andrews, I'd be like nope. But when it played
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in that show, I say every.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Word along with it, I knew exactly what it was.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Do you recall in the era of our weddings, it
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: was common to do slide shows, and it would be
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: like a slide show of like one spouse through their
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: childhood and the others, and then you'd have a slideshow
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of their relationship. So for the section of our wedding,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: slide show that was me. It is the Jessica Andrews.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious slide shows. Is anybody doing those anymore?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I thought they were very fun.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I still don't watch ours every once in a while.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Oh that's cute.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: We didn't do one.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I might could just be blinking out totally, but no,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think we did one.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The second song that was used was called someone
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Else's Star by the artist Brian White. Another hot jam.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It was actually not a hot jam. It's like a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: very sweet song.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: And when I heard it, I was I texted Megan I.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my husband loves this song.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: So funny.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: When they started playing it, I was like.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, give me more.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for him to because I was playing
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it upstairs. I was waiting for him to be like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: what are you watching? You know it was.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was such a funny choice from
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: whoever did the music on the show to pick these
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: two like nineties country songs. And the opening intro was
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: so long. It was really long.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: It was up the.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Time though, really really long.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it gets shortened in future episodes. I don't know.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch, I.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Have kind of a digit see that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Oh tell me.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: When she walks in on the floor of the FBI,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: there's the motto and it says fidelity, Bravery, Justice, which
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: is not the motto of the FBI. The FBI moto
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in the seal is fidelity, bravery, integrity.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Hmmm.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: They couldn't use it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: They didn't get the rights to use the perhaps not
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the FBI. Else before we talk the Hallmark test? All right,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: is it giving Hallmark to you?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely passes the Hallmark tests. And here's why. Because it
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: leans real hard into Christian values. Yeah, like more than once.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: It's trying to be heartwarming, wholesome.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a real distinction between good and evil. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I can see like four audiences who are into that. Yes,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: this is right in their willhouse.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's about the Russian mafia. And at
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: no point am I a person who is easily stressed
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: out by television worried at all? Like, there's no point.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, yeah, so it's very lighthearted.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: How about the cast, Well, okay, I did enjoy the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: character of Lucy the Friend. I thought she was a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: solid friend. She's my absolute favorite in the whole show.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I agree. I don't know like her, she was operating
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: at a higher vibe than everybody.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Else around her billion percent agree with you.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I felt like they could have just picked her up
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and put her in a twenty twenty five show and
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: she would well.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: And when I looked at her resume and you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: she's in Paradise and she's in the only an episode,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: but like she's in all of these hit shows. She
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: was in Working Moms, I was like, Yeah, that doesn't
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: surprise me. That doesn't I was like, could she be
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the lead? And then I'm like, Okay, Megan, don't be
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: a jerk. This show is about a deaf person, and
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a deaf person should be the lead. And I liked
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Diane Bray. I thought she was sweet and fine as
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the lead, but sure Inuka Okuma is the damn star.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. I also enjoyed Charlie the Mechanic
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Me too. Oh, sweet little Charlie, I am. I thought
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: there there was this nice kind of symbiotic relationship where
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: like they were both gonna like kind of take care
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: of each other. Now I'm curious, like, does he continue
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: into the series.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: He's in like eight episodes, oh sad.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I liked at the.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: End when Lucy and Charlie show up in the dog's
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: hospital room, Like I was like, oh, this is her
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: little team here, her little team of buddies. Yeah, I mean,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: she gotta have her sidekicks.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: There was I liked it Lucy the best, but I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if like this whole like cast, like it
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: didn't excite me like as well.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: The ensemble band of FBI characters for me, feels very stereotypical.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was so funny. They have that
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: like one Australian dude who happens to use the Australian
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: slang sheila right off the bat. They're like establishing him
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: and it just made me laugh out loud because she
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: was like, oh he said Sheila, and that identified him
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: as Australian because obviously she can't hear his accent. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: you know, you kind of have like the he's not
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the chief, but like the head guy of their agents
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: who's like this gruff, doesn't say a lot kind and
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you know, good guy Jack, and you got kind of
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the mildly corrupt jerks. It just felt very like the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: are the characters that we need, like we need to
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: drop people into each.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's just felt predictable.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Sure, to the point that not only did the cast
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: feel predictable, but so much of the story felt predictable.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Because when Lucy is about to introduce Sussu let me
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: meet my boyfriend, I'm like, it's gonna be nil totally,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and then he walks. My husband's like, who are you
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: talking to? And I was like, I'm just calling it like.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Talking to my Hallmark shows, my stories.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I think I know the answer to this next question.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: But keep it or skip it?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Skip it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It's fifty six episodes. I would hope that there's some improvement.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: It has some nice reviews on IMDb.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Does it I look at if anybody has watched it,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: because they're like Megan said, there are three seasons of it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: If anybody has watched it and was like, it gets
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a lot better, let me know. I'm curious. I'm not
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: curious enough to watch it myself, but I'm curious what happens.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wrote, sorry, skip it, skip it. This is
• 20:07
