• 1:39
  Speaker 3: synopsis of the Santa Summit.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, a little backstory here. I pulled up this synopsis
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: for this movie off of IMDb, didn't read it, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: then this morning when I'm looking at my notes, I
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: read the synopsis and I'm like, that's not what happens.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Did you pull up the Hallmark synopsis? I did?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I have that one as well, So let me just
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: read to you what the IMDb synopsis. Yes, and it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: only one sentence that's incorrect, but it says Jordan returns
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: home to regroup after setbacks. Oh weird, No, she did it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: It's weird.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I thought it was super weird.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: So from Hallmark dot com or I think it's Hallmarked,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: maybe a Hallmark Channel dot com. I don't know. Here's
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: the real synopsis. Jordan meets and bonds with Liam, but
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: doesn't get his name before getting separated and lost in
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: a sea of Santa's. As the night progresses and hijinks
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: in Sue, they all find what they are looking for
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Christmas spirit, potential, romance, and a strengthened bond of friendship.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That's so funny that it says hyjenks and zoo. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: think that's accurate. But also, I mean, we haven't even
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: talked talking about this, but I just didn't feel hygienz
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: to me. Even though I don't think that's an inaccurate description,

  Speaker 4: Let's talk first impressions.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Mine is I've run into Santa cun in New York
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a few times and it is nothing like this highly
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: civilized event.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's usually a lot of drunk people.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Drunken frat boys in the dirtiest Santa costumes you ever
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: did see. That's no fun unless I was twenty two
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: even then.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: No, here's my first impression. It's nice to see people
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: like me represented in Christmas movies.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I am Stella really. I totally was like, I wonder
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: if Wendy's having a moment here.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I totally was. I related to Stella so hard in
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: this movie.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I thought it was so funny when Freddy is like, oh,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: you don't hate Christmas, say one thing nice about it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: She's like, it's got a great marketing team. That's like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: that's the perfect answer. Let's talk about the best friend
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: group in this movie.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I loved it. I loved their three personalities together. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: loved the three actresses. Amy Greening is so delightful. She
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: appeared on screen and I was like, I know her,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and then I kind of looked back and obviously we've
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: seen a lot of her movies, but I couldn't tell
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you what I know her from. Same but I just
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: loved her Hunter King. I like both her and her
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: sister as actors.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I find them very appealing to WAT. They just are
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: really dynamic on screen. And Stephanie Sie, although not new
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: to Hallmark, this is maybe one of the first times
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: she's made a big impression on me.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, me too, and I.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Just adored her. What a dynamic team of women as besties.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: It's almost unfortunate that the billing is like Hunter and
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Benjamin as the leads, because it's really an ensemble cast.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I agree, and I think, well, no, I was gonna
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: say it. I was like, I think it's a movie
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: more about friendship. It's really not. It's friendship and romance.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: But for all three of.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Them, Yeah, there's three love stories. Like I would I
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: would have loved to see this marketed more as like
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: a buddy romance with like three storylines, because I do.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I was a big fan of the Jordan and Liam storyline.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I thought that was very cute. I liked both of them.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I liked a lot about that. But there's a lot
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: going on with Stella and Freddy. There's a lot going
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: on with Ava and Ben. I liked those stories equally.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I have to agree. I thought all three women gave
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: really strong performances. I know it's a Hunter King movie,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: but like you said, it should have been an ensemble movie.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I thought they were all great. And speaking of fantastic,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I really loved the characters of Dasher and Freddie. They
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: were so funny. They had me laughing, especially the guy
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: that plays Dash. Sure that he rode that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Bike, the pettycab driver. Yeah, and that's the He.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Was so funny, so so funny. And I know he's
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: been to other stuff, but I'm like, never really noticed
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: him until this movie, so.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: That's so funny about I agree. His face was really familiar.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: But I wasn't ever compelled to like look him up
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and say, like, what do I know him from? Until now.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: One funny thing is it's not so much a petticab,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: That's what I called it. It's like a Surrey that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: he's driving. And fun story, My dad as a child
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: had a Surrey. He still remembers getting a Surrey with
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the friende on top. I'm writing it all over the place,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: and he one year for Christmas gave my family a
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Surrey and that thing was so hard to peddle, even
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: down my flat street. It was watching him like struggle
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to get those women down the road just made me laugh.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I thought it was funny.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: He said it was funny when he was like, are
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: you gonna help me pedal?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Tell us like, are you gonna help us pay the
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: four bucks?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, that was really funny. Good riding too,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: uh huh. Speaking of the riding, I this movie. The
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: premise is quite simple, right, you know, the girl and
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the guy meet, they get lost. Yes, it's all the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: other stuff that happens throughout this movie that makes it
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: fun and special for me. This movie felt fresh, It
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: felt like new era Hallmark The writing was quick and quippy,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: but it also had these like really warm moments, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: plus on top of all that, it had great pop
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: cultural references in it that make me laugh, Like the
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: whole Lord of the Breens thing.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: There's a cool Runnings moment that I lived.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: For Runnings, Yes exactly. I think anybody younger than us
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: is not going to know cool Runnings, but I love them.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I know, I just I know. I thought. I think
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: it was great, and dare I say I felt like
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: this was a Netflix level project, And I'm not bagging
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: if anybody who's listened to our podcast for a long
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: period of time. In the beginning, I was always like, oh,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: this is a good Hallmark movie. This could have been
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: a real movie. And I'm doing air quotes around real right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: This to me, honestly felt like a movie that could
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: have had the budget for Netflix. I thought it was
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: that entertaining, it looked that good.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I think on Netflix it
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: would have been marketed as an ensemble cast. Yeah, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: think you're right, but there's no you know, all the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: acting in this movie is really high level and high quality,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: and there's no like, oh, they didn't get top billing
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: because their performance didn't bring it. They everyone broad it
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: in this movie. Everyone. I mean, what a great team.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I loved.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: I have to be my own sweatpants. That's what I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: telling you. These warm moments that I mean, that's awesome.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: You don't get stuff like that in a Hallmark movie. No,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: that empowerment moment.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm telling you.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Russell Hayneline is quickly because I mean a writer to
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: watch for me.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: We just need more, that's all. Just keep going, rustle,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: don't stop, churn it them out. Wowie zwie alert Hello,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Benjamin Hollings words. Oh, like, I guess I'm gonna have
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to watch Virgin River now. Yeah, and he's kind of
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: a bad guy in Virgin River, so you'll like it
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: really Yeah.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's so cute and again, like I don't remember
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: him from any other movie I've seen.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know him from Virgin River, which I
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: do watch. I've also never seen Code Black, but I'm like,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I love a hospital drama, so I really do. We
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: got to call out the easter egg moment. We've got
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Nile Meter as the DJ, so fun. We're starting to
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: finally get those moments. We're seeing them Homewark told us
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: they were coming. That's a great way to do it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I've never seen him so like animated. Yes, that's a
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: great word for he. I just stole your moment.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: No, it's perfect.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: It just made me smile, and I knew it was
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: kind and it didn't ruin the moment for me at all.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved it, And I think that the great
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: thing about that is there's no pressure on him. This
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: isn't a Nile major movie. Nobody cares if the DJs
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: any good, So he can be ridiculous and silly and
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: just send it. Oh god, I'm sorry. I watched the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: first episode of Winterhouse and then.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Send it sticky with you? My god, that's so funny. Anyway, Yeah, good,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: he's good. The music was great in this movie too.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: The music was great in this movie. As wore all
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: of the different sets, and part of me was like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: is this just the same bar that they're like rearranging
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: ever so slightly every time to make it look like
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: a different place. Oh I wonder, I wonder it worked
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: for me. I didn't care.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't notice it like that closely. So yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: that's awesome. All right, let's talk about what we wished for.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I just have questions. Okay, do they ever drink alcohol?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: R this barkirl? Well, I have something in that. Did
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: you see that? Okay, Okay, they weren't drinking like bottles
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: of beer.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: What I felt like is every single drink they had
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: could have been a cocktail or a cocktail. And my
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: next question is so many sugary drinks do they not
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: have tummy agges? At the end of this bark, I
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: would be like, we're done, I'm out. But my actual
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: wish is purely that I think this would make a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: great sequel.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know where they could take the story, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I do think it'd be a fun sequel.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: There's so many storylines, so many like this is the
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Santa Summit this year, and now they're like all in
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: these established relationships and yeah.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're like, let's go to the Santa Summit where
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: we met last year, and and then more hygiene Since.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Russell Haneline, I trust you're writing brain to tackle this awesome. Hey,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you know what, I forgot to add something in my
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: liked category. Yeah, we'll just put it here. I thought
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: this maybe lacked hijinks.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Like you know, I hate hyjinks in a huh can't
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: stand it. I mean, sure, there were like moments where
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: they were like missing each other, but it wasn't like hijinks.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It didn't feel silly or manufactured. It felt very realistic
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: in this big event, this is how it goes.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: I agree. Okay, So here's what I wish for.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I have two.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I wish that Jordan and Liam had more scenes together.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I get why they didn't because that was the premise
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: of the movie, but they had a really fun energy together.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: I agree. I would like a sequel because I would
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: like to see them in more scenes together. Yes, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: then finally I thought that Jordan could have tried harder
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: to find Liam. They're at a place.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: With a DJ.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Have the DJ made Oh yeah, I'm looking for a
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: guy with a tattoo on his wrist of a pine
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: tree or whatever. I how it's so easy, Like, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I get why they didn't, but well, to
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: your point, I tend to hyper focus on things. So
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: if I had like met this guy and couldn't find
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: him and wanted to find him, but I'm out with
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: my friends. One thing I noticed is I thought she
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: did a good job of Yes, she was searching for him,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: but she was also able to focus in on some
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: moments with her friends as well. And I kind of
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: liked that that she was able to like still be
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: there for that she wasn't ditching them to like find
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: this guy. She had made them come and she was
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: still fully engaged with her friends.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a really good point, because she was like, Bye,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go try to find this dude. It would
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: have been a shitty thing to do to a couple
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: of friends, especially.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Della, who does not want to be there right exactly.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: And then, speaking of hyper focus, if I were to
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: meet somebody like that, if if I'm Jordan in the scenario,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I would think that the guy was like ditcheing me
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: on purpose. I wouldn't meet too. I feel like I'm
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: going home, But yeah, I would feel.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I would start second guessing our connection immediately, h Like,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: why hasn't he.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Found me right exactly?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for? Did to see that? I am
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: at the bar? When they arrive at Nashville's, they get
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: off of the Surrey slash petticab, the three ladies and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the tree gets on it. Love the tree, Yes, to
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: leave of evidently, But then we see him inside at
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the Lasso competition a little bit later.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he was everywhere. He like popped up everyone.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: When they're at the sushi restaurant, they were given these drinks,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: and this is when we talk about the alcohol. It
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: was a purple drink with a lemon slice. If they
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: poured something into it that made it like smoke change colors, yes, yes,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: And I was like, that's not a holiday drink, like
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: at all, who's drinking this crazy, weird purple drink with
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: a lemon slice. But later in the scene they're still
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: at the same table. They're drinking like an eggnog drink
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: or something out of a clear mug. And I have
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: to ask a question, why are they serving cookies at
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: the sushi restaurant?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, those cute little cookies. Yeah, why not sushi?
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I was like, what, I don't get it. I
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: don't get it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those purple drinks to me, I think they were like, look,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: we found a way to make these drinks bubble, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: it only turns purple, Like, we don't have one that
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: turns red or green, Like the chemical reaction doesn't work
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: that way. So it's gonna be a non holiday event
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: needed to be red or green. They were like how
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: many I know, I agree, but how many holidayrings? Like
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: we got the hot chocolate with marshmallows that happened earlier.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: We had that eggnog moment, some.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Martinis or something like, yeah, like a cranberry.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Martini, yes, exactly exactly. Part of me feels like they
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: were trying to make these drinks look like they weren't necessary,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: like they're on a bar crawl, but they weren't like
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: leaning super hard into the bar aspect of it. And
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: if you serve a drink in a martini glass, like
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: that's an alcoholic beverage. You serve it in like these
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: bubbling pine glasses. Anybody you know? Nobody knows. I don't know.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Why the PG like they don't need to like hide
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: that they're drinking or that they are truly on a
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: bar crawl. I mean, homewark serves. I mean they have wine,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: for God's sakes. Yeah, never been christed was full of
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: alcohol totally.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, totally.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: My final did you see that was at the very end,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: when Freddy is up on stage and he's about to sing,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I swear to god, it's a YouTube song. I was like, wow,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: they got a YouTube song here, and then they sing
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: some and i'm Christmas song? Is that a real song?
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I should stamped it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: And nothing came up, so I was like, what the
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: beginning sounds exactly like a YouTube song.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: It's from a Raffi's Christmas album.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Raffi the child Singer.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Raffi the children sing. I can't I can't play
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: it because it's playing through my computer. But yes, Raffi
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: the Children's Singer. Anyway, I really loved that final performance
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: where she gets up and sings.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Oh when she sings by herself, holy cow. Yeah, she's great. Yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: it was great. Are you ready to rate this guy?
• 20:38

• 20:53
