• 2:44
  Speaker 1: slump threatens the booth, her work becomes the surprise hit

  Speaker 1: We are going to take a quick break and come
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: right back with our first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your first impression of Melt my Heart this Christmas? Well, listen,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: there's I candy in this movie, and for once, it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: not Stephen whozar Oh. I'm talking about the ornaments. I know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: not his dad. There's no other man in. I didn't
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: think you were talking about his dad. I'm talking about
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the freaking ornaments were gorgeous. My first impression is it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: must have been absolutely freezing on the set of this movie.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: When when was this filmed, I don't know. When it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was snowing and freezing and you could see their breath
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and I felt very sorry for them because it must
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have been chilly. Yeah, that opening scene when they're in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the fair and they're outside and it's just like breath.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, it's old. They're at very very in
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the Great White North. Well, let's talk what you liked
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: about this movie. Surprisingly, I have a healthy list, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I know, okay, Look, Megan and I have chatted a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: little bit via text about this movie. Spoiler Meghan didn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: like it. I enjoyed it. Now, I don't know why.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know why because I went in with rock
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: bottom expectation. Sure, I know it. I even from like,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, months and months ago, when news of like
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the movies were trickling out for countdown to Christmas, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was like, this reads like an acquisition. And the only
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: way I say that, the only reason why I say
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that is because at the time IMDb was like fully
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: completed for this movie, right, So I was like, well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I had to have been out here, and then Hallmark
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: picked it up. I don't know I don't know if
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that's the case. I think it is the case because
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I saw another movie poster for it on IMDb or
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: on the production company's website. Actually, that's not the Hallmark poster,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: so I do think it was made and then shopped.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Let's talk what we liked. I have a probably shorter
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: list than you can. We talk about the glass blowing. Sure,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I actually really liked the glass blowing scenes that we got.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I wanted more of that. Laura gets to at least
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: handle some of the equipment. We see her like swinging
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it back and forth. I know that most of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: scenes are not her, but I liked seeing the bits
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and pieces of that. Who the hell's Laura? Oh? The
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: actual actors? Okay, yeah, Laura as Holly. Yeah, yes, I'll
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: like there's that show Blown Away. They've ever seen that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on Netflix? The glass blowing competition, I have not. Yeah,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a glass blowing competition, and so if
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you like this sort of thing, you can get that there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I like watching the process of glass blowing. Well, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: locally here in Orange County, the Laguna Art Fair has
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a glass blowing exhibit there, like they have the kiln
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: or whatever they use to heat up the glass. Huh,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and you can watch them make it. Oh, that's very cool.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You stand out like outside this like cage thing. Sure
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: them do it. Yeah, it's pretty neat. It's that's in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the summer. But they also have a winter fare too,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: so they may or may not do it into winter
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the wintertime. But anyway, I agree. I thought it was interesting.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wasn't super interested. I like the final product
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of it. I thought the work was stunnying. Do you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: know if there's any information of the actual ornaments, like
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: who actually made them? I couldn't find that. I tried
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to find to see if there was some sort of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: personal motivation for this story, because glass blowing seems like
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a very specific art to choose. Yeah, and I couldn't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: find anything about that. So I'm curious. Did they work
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: with a specific artist or did they just purchase these
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: glass pieces in order to use them in the movie.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Particularly in Beyonca's shop. There's quite a bit the gifts,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the shit wow so pretty, I really do pretty. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the story behind them, the story behind it I thought
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: was really great too. Do you remember a Heidelberg Christmas
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: or a Heidelberg Holiday? I have not really exact title,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: sob oh, I don't remember that, but I remember, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: she made those ornaments, but those were an actual artist.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Remember there was a whole not that there was a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: whole thing, but like there was information about the artists
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: who actually made the ornaments. So I was like, is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that information available for this movie? I haven't found anything,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and neither have you. You said, correct. That bums me out
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because I just thought they were so pretty, so pretty.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: One of the highlights in this movie for me was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the female creative partnership between Bianca and Holly. It's an
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: absolute high point. Yes, it's this like relationship that pulled
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: me in. It was not the romance between Holly and Jack.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Like actually did not even care about that. I just
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I thought it was compelling to give us a middle
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: aged woman who is in this artistic identity crisis, Like
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like that on Hallmark. I thought
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it was super relatable. I thought it was a bold
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: move in storytelling. I liked it. So I have some
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the character of Bianca and her story, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I did love the moment at which her ice cold
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: heart does melt and she warms to Holly and takes
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: her under her wing, and they have that great scene
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in their workshop where they're collaborating and she's going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: mentor her. I loved all of that very much me too.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Bianca then, okay, Oh, I thought you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: had more to do well, it's all of my wishes. Oh,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it's in your wishes. Okay. Well, for me, I thought
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Wigmore as Bianca was perfection. She was giving full
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Miranda Priestley, yes, with like a craft fair situation. But
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: what I like the best is, you know, we get
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this very hard, rigid character and even her makeup. She's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: wearing this very bold red lipstick, and then towards the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: end we have this full softening and it's also reflected
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in her look. She has this like lighter gloss and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, kudos to the makeup department for going
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: along this, you know character arc. I thought it was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: done really well. I liked Bianca. I'm interested to hear
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: your wishes. Okay. I also very much enjoyed Stephen Whosar
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and Laura Vander have a hard time saying her name individually.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Like they're likable, they're watchable, they're romance didn't do it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for me. It was classic Hallmark pest to love pipeline situation. Right,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he's annoyed with her, she's plucky, they fall in love.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: It was fine. That was fine. It was fine. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: my final like, which was a really funny line when
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Jack's dad said he hired a social media manager quote
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: whatever that is ikey plus joke. I thought it was
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: really funny, mostly because it's like, very much reminded me
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of my dad, who is a business owner, and he's like,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting into that social media business. Nobody watches
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that or nobody pays attention to that. I'm like, okay,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: time marching on totally. I know my my mother recently
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: discovered Instagram and she's like, she's like, there's this guy
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: who dances. I'm like, oh, yeah, the one guy. She's like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have you seen this guy who dances? I'm like, I'm
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: gonna need some more information, mom. I wrote that line
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: down as well. I also liked and I can't even
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: remember who said it, but I think it might have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: been Bianca. She says, you're at a nine. I need
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you at a four. Yes, yes, great line, loved it too,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: really great. Are you ready to talk missions. Sure, I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: have a long list. I apologize. Okay. First up, why
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: is jacksonming to Holly at the beginning? Like what he's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: What is their backstory there? Yeah, it's unclear, right, Like
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: she's hungry to be in the fair, like to show
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: her stuff in the fair. Yeah, she keeps applying to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: be in your fair. She's keeping you alive, dude, i'd
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: maybe be less mean. I understand maybe she's not the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: caliber you want her to be, but you want people
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to want you. Yeah. I didn't understand it. And it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: one of my least favorite like tropes. Sure me see this. Yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the hydienx simeter was high in parts of this movie,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: falling in heels, crashing into Jack, the many coats situation.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I'm spending the entire movie on edge waiting for a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: major glass disaster, which happens. It was a major, but yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty minor in terms of what happened.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for one of the priceless Banam snowflakes
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to go flying across place. That's so funny, such a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: weird spot in her showroom. Yes, yeah, so that scene
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: did worry me, and I thought that is what is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: was exactly coming because she's like, don't touch anything in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: my shop, and then she proceeds to touch everything in
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: her toop like, ma'am, you are there for one thing.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Don't go snooping around looking at shit you're not supposed
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to be looking at. Yes, it still thought, Oh, she's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: gonna break something and then that's gonna be a problem,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: but it didn't go that way. Mm hmm. But yes,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in that scene, I was like, oh, God, stop running
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: through the showroom. You're gonna knock something over. Right. It
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: seems weird for them to be given the seal of
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the season at the end of the season. I'm not
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: really sure how it's valuable now, Like season's over. What
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: next year you can be like I got the seal
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of the season last year. Come it's worthless. Yeah, but
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: my my two big wishes. Look, I liked Bianca's transformation,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but I did feel like she was Miranda Priestley is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a great description. She's like a super villain here. She
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: can't be bothered to remember Holly's name. She tells her
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to dress up, she gaslights her, like why would you
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: heels around glass? Do you have a death wish? Like? Come,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you told her to do that. That stuff is very
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: frustrating to me. Also, while I was very interested in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the resolution between Beyanca and Holly, I think I was
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: actively rooting against Holly and Jack getting together, so much
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: so that when I realized that the movie was almost
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: over and we still hadn't had a kiss or even
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: really a hint at romance, I started to dread it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and I felt like the final romantic moment was unearned. Yeah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it was truly not even needed. Agree, not even needed. Well,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: back to Bianca, I agree with everything you said, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: also on the flip side, I feel like Bianca was
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: feeling threatened by another artist who was doing similar work,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: maybe even better work than her what she was currently
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: putting out. So I could see how she was like
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: internally angry, Yes, like everything. I was not viewing her
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the way you were, as a woman at a crossroads,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and that does make me view her a little bit
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: differently that perspective. In addition, I, and this is one
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of my wishes, I do think Bianca's outrage felt thin
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: like you're mad at Holly because she's an emerging artist.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Of course she didn't like she's under a pseudonym like
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you haven't been very warm and welcoming. She's not gonna
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: tell you. Oh, by the way, I'm working under a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: pseudonym in the in the Emerging Artist. Do you know
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, why would she tell her that? Right?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But it didn't make any sense to me, Like why
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Bianca would be betrayed? Right, she didn't. She was unaware
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: because of great give me a break. It was super manufactured.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I agree. My other wish that I didn't really love
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: was the marketplace drama of like we might lose the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: market storyline? Yeah, what are you doing with this space
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: year round? Like you might have to sell the land?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: What the six weeks that the fair is not going on?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: What's happening there? Yeah? Okay, So that's a good question
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: because like the Laguna Art Fair, right, like I said,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it runs in the summertime for several weeks and then
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it runs in the winter time. But off season, I
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what the heck they do there. Maybe have events,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: but other than that, I have no idea. I don't
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: know either. I wonder who owns that. Those are great questions,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: but when they're in this position of needing to make
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: more money, it seems like, Okay, do something with this
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the other ten and a half months out of the year.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Make it a pumpkin patch, make it an Easter egg punch.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Make it. But those are my only two wishes. Well,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: let's talk to you to see that this was real snow. Obviously.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: My question is I kept noticing that they, like the marketplace,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: there's snow all over the marketplace and people are like
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: walking on top of like the pack snow. Now, I'm
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: born and raised in California, I don't know what that's like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: but I thought that they would be like, somebody would
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: shovel that so that you can walk without walking on
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: top of snow? Am I wrong? Well, I don't know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I mean it seemed to be actively snowing through a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: lot of this movie, so maybe it was hard to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: keep up with. I don't know. It just seems dangerous
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to be walking on top of snow, like thick snow.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe it, because it
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't snow where I live. Yeah, I mean people who
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: live where it snows are definitely walking on snow all
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the time. Really, yeah, I mean things aren't automatically shoveled
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: at every moment, so yes, Oh, can you imagine your
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: pants are wet all the time. No, it would be miserable.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I would be I would hate it. You referenced earlier,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: but Holly in those high heels. You thought it was
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: like too hygiene sye. But several times they showed her
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: like almost rolling ankle. Yes, I was nervous for her,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: someone with thin bones like myself. This is watching a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: horror movie unfold. It's like that is so painful. Yeah,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I was concerned for her. Crazy what else do you have?
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I have a couple in the opening scenes where she's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: bringing her her balls to the table of emerging artists.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: They're just in a box, like with crumpled paper. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: was like, these are very fragile. Be a little more careful.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: We get our third Taylor Swift reference of the season. Yeh.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: She's like I was, I got you t Swift tickets
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and I was like, my gosh, we've just talked about this.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like another one, Like God, we need to put
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that on a BINGO card because holy heck, who knew
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I know? We need another pop culture touchstone in these movies.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Also in the final live stream. First of all, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: always have issues when they're like we went viral. I'm like,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: your craft fares not going viral. People, I don't care
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: who you are, but they have twenty four thousand people
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: watching the final live stream, and my notes say I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: think effing not. I apologize, but also no, I thought
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it was funny too, because like, then all these people
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: start streaming into their craft fair and he's like, what's happening. Oh,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: he's well, I guess you went viral here too. I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: was like, nope, no, And there were waiting outside on
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: their phones happened to see it. Con I just it's
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like these we went viral moments. Yeah. Well,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I really thought about this a lot too. I was like,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: who's interested in this? Well, I'm sure there is an
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: artist community that is interested in like glass blowing or
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: like these kraft fairs are whatever, but viral, I don't know. Look,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I might watch, like you said, like the Laguna Art Festival,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Like I might watch, you know, reels that they're posting
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and be like, oh that might get me to go,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But those reels aren't going viral. They just might get
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: shared amongst the locals. Yeah. Well, what did you rate
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: mount my Heart this Christmas? I gave it three and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a half stars. I gave it three stars. You didn't
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: hate it as much as you said you did. I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: didn't hate it at all. It just wasn't my favorite movie.
