  Speaker 2: was a capital dud for me.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Oh no, oh yes, okay, Well, let me just say
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that after the absolute disaster of never kissing a man
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in a christmaswater which could not decide what kind of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: movie did it that it wanted to be?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Was it the redemption story of like she had broken him?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Was it the story of like bringing these military families together?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Was it a gingerbread house building theme? We don't know.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I felt like this movie had like a very calm,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: easy to follow through line, and I appreciated that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, So A Timeless Christmas is about Charles Whitley travel
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: from nineteen oh three to twenty twenty, where he meets
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Megan Turner and experiences a twenty first century Christmas storry
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Aaron Cahill and Ryan Pavey done.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk leading man where we haven't We
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: haven't made that a main feature, but I did think
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: maybe he would stand out a little bit to you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, very nice looking man, Is that what you want
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to hear?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, good looking man. The problem I have from like
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the first scene it takes place in nineteen oh three,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the dude is not going to have a nice faded
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: beard like he did. He would have a big, huge,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: scruffy beard. They didn't have electric razors with clippers that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: could like give him that nice whatever, right.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's funny. Well, I also was noticing in the auction
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they have those like two pendant lights hanging down like
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: over the auctioneer, and I'm like, that's really true of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the time, they were just in like a big empty
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: room with like a green curtain on one side.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So when I watched the saying these things now, I go, Okay,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: budget budget, because you have said for several episodes now
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that the budgets are usually pretty low on these things.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So maybe they.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Don't come out twenty four new movies.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. So leading man meh,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he gets a meth from you? He could he gets
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: have hello when he changes into like two thousand and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty close into twenty in a twenty first century
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you know outfit, he looks real nice.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, what else did you like about this movie? Anything?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I thought the main actress, Aaron Cahill, plays Megan. She
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: was adorable. Is she a homewark? Is she like in
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a bunch of movies?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's not in a ton of their Christmas movies,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but she's definitely like a made for TV movie actress
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: got it and I really enjoyed her too. I liked her.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I thought she was very cute.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I thought she was singing adorable. And I really noticed
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: her freckles and I.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Was like, did you too, Yeah, And I was impressed
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that they didn't cover them up like they did her
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: makeup in a way that they came.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Through, which made me go, hmm, you know, there's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: trend to get like a, oh, are they tattooed. They're
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: not tattooed, They're like done with, like Hannah Ink, so
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they like go away eventually.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, well, I'm looking at other pictures of her
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: online and she the freckles are definitely hers. She has
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: beautiful skin, so I appreciated that they let that come through.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I thought she was good. I thought she was a
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: good actress. She was cute. I actually thought they were
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: both good actors.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Agree.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I thought the movie storyline was so boring. So boring. Okay,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but this movie was adapted from a novel by Alexa Stanton.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Did you know that?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I did? And so many of these movies have novel companions,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I think the novels are written after the fact,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like they're written to go you know, But this one, yes,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I believe did come first.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So I wonder if that's why this movie had kind
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of a like a through line. It wasn't like eight
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: hundred you know stories.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, perhaps because they were working from a book that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: already existed exactly. Look, I enjoyed this movie. I felt
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: like it didn't have a lot of wacky subplots going on.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of action, but I liked the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: sweet little story of the man who accidentally time traveled
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: based on a broken clock one hundred and seventeen years
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: into the future. I just couldn't. I couldn't.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe the story.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I know I'm not supposed to, Like I know that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous that there is going to be a man
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: who travels from nineteen oh three to twenty twenty and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: is abstaining here and falling in love.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yet the time travel stories. There was a Christmas book
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that I read this year that also had like a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: time travel element. I could do without them. But like
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I said, I did like this movie. I liked when
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: he was asking her like she was trying to explain
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Internet, and she's like, my say, use it to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: argue with strangers, and I.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: That was funny that was very funny.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: What did you wish for in this movie? Is it
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: more action that you wanted? Is it we know you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: wanted more sexual tension?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Of course, always that was my biggest complaint to my
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: husband while we were watching this, So that's going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: always be my answer, like, I need more sexual attension
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: between the two characters to make me believe that there's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: some kind of chemistry between them. Do you know when
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: this was filmed?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I do not, but I did not believe it was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: filmed during the winter. The outdoor shots are so tight
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that it's like they don't want to show too much
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of what's going on.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: What I wondered is do you think it was filmed
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty like earlier this year?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What's the question?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Where are we going get to the point? Wendy, No,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like I I would have liked to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: have seen some sort of adaptation to the storyline that
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: he actually travels to the twenty twenty we're experiencing right now.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I think that would have been a better movie.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the weird I was none of these movies
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: as far as I know, address twenty twenty. As we
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: know it, and so that's really on the one hand,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's like kind of like a nice escape. On the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: other hand, yeah, it'll be nice. He shows up and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: everyone's in a mask and yeah, right, but I don't
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: know how you navigate that. But one thing I didn't
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like is like when he first arrives first of all,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like he time travels and he's like laying on the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: floor of his house. Like that was very weird to me,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Like he just like wakes up in the house and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't know how.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I got there.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like fast forward to a tour. I'm like
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: writing notes, and I'm like fast forward to a tour
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of the mansion and then all caps where he is
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: on the floor. Lol. Omg, those were my notes because okay,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and then he comes down and of course they're like
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: reenacting life at the Whitley House and all of a sudden,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this person appears in the house upstairs and no one
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: has ever seen him. They're like, he must be an
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: actor sent by the agency, right, And then what I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: didn't like is there's a little bit too much like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: who's on first, because obviously, like he's confused because he's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just traveled here. One hundred and seventeen years in the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: past and they have no ight. Obviously they're not suspecting
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that he's from the past, but you know, he's like,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: what is that flying machine? When he walks outside and like,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: why are you in my house? And I don't yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know there. I found some of that to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: be a little bit hokey.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Hokey is a good way to put it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And then she's like, I'll explain television to you tomorrow.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And then he accidentally like turns it on. It's like
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: blaring Christmas carols in his face. I don't know. That
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: was a little like where.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: He's like, how do I am I going to see
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: myself in this Mirror's silly? That's a television, My husband,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I were just looking at you were like, this is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: so bad?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Okay? Can I tell you that I did feel badly
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: for him when he so they let him, Like he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: sleeps in the house and the next morning he wakes
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: up and everyone's in the house kind of sad that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: his house isn't his house anymore and it's a place
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of business. And I didn't even write down the name
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of Megan's co worker, who they don't really ever let
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in on the joke, not the joke of the real story. Oh,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: we're just letting him stay in the house. I don't know.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I felt really badly for him that he had to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: keep up this ruse and basically his life's work had
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: been undone because he disappeared.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: What did he technically do? What was his life's work?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Oh he was some sort of engineer or something.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of like an inventor.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I did feel badly for him, and I also
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: noted that I had I always had secondhand embarrassment for
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the characters when they sing Christmas carols.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, please tell me you saw that that part.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Please please please. When she sings we wish you would
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, and she was like, had weird, awkward, like
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: body movements when she was singing it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It's always so uncomfortable when they were sing Christmas carols
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in these movies. I like physically was in pain, cringing.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I had to rewind it and show my husband again.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I was like, look how awkward she's moving. And then
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: we're like then we had to google and find out
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: when that song was written because I didn't hear his
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: line about like he didn't know the song because she's like,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: everybody knows this song, and he's like, uh, not in
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: nineteen oh three. So I was like, okay, let's see
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: when this was written. It was written after nineteen oh three.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Oh see, look true to the time. Yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, yes, but I laughed out loud
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: when she was very awkward singing that song.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's jump to the did you see that where
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: we discuss questions and plot holes we have about this movie. Okay,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it's not so much plot holes as for me, as
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it is like unresolved issues. Because what's the name of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: his rival?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll just call him the rival. So we have Eliza,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: his fiance. It's very clear in the beginning that they're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: not really in love, right. This is like a marriage
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of convenience. He's not willing to go to her parents'
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Christmas party. He just you know, oh, he's expected to
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: be married at his age and they're getting married. So
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that didn't feel like okay, fine, He's okay with leaving
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: her behind, right. The question is Megan knows that the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: real Eliza of the past moves on and gets married
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to his rival and doesn't tell him, and there's a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: couple points in which it is almost revealed and she
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: kind of stops that from happening.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Do you think she should have kept that secret from him?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know why she was trying to spare his feelings? No,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: who cares tell him? Well?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Also, like he didn't love her.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Right, but there was no he wasn't like yearning to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: be reunited with Eliza at all. He was, That's what
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: they made it seem. But like there was a disconnect
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: from the beginning.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Of having felt for her. Yeah, I mean, maybe he
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: would be upset that she married his rival simply because
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that man was his rival, but not because he had
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: any deep feelings for her. Maybe he felt like ownership
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: over her, but other than that. Also, so in the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: end of the movie, he decides to stay. Yeah, how
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: does this possibly work? This man does not exist in
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Like, how are you gonna get identification? Where
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: are you gonna live at a job? If you don't
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: have an education or any job experience? Are thirty two
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: years old?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: He is gonna continue to play mister Whiteley or Whitley or.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Whatever he is, And that is a job you can
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: retire on me for being an elitist, but I do
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: not believe that it is going to bring him fulfillment
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: for the rest of his life.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Well, he found a sugar mama in Meghan who is
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: going to take care of him.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: It's as terrible as playing Rosie the Maid for the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: rest of her life.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So no, no, no, no, she had didn't she have
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: some kind of she has seen or something. Yes, going
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to be a professor?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: She was, Yes, she was going to be a professor.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: She turns down that job because she wants to continue
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to work at the Whitley and she has ideas that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we don't get let in on about things to do
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: with the Whitley Mansion going forward, and I guess they're
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: going to do that as a team. I mean, this
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: is one of those I am a hater, but this
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is one of those when my husand's like, I just
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: want to move to a small town. Don't open an
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: ice cream shop, right, Like, yeah, that'd be nice, And no, okay.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: You're funny here is did you see that moment for
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: me when she was going to the school to interview
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: for the job, and it just so happened that the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: missing clock was on display, I.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Mean, and the second she started walking around, I'm like,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: she's gonna see the clock exactly, exactly exactly.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I did text you a picture. I don't know if
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you remember.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Oh you sent me two gifts.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I say about, yeah, I sent you two gifts one
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: because the first one was like, how am I gonna
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: get back to nineteen oh three? And the first thing
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I thought was one point twenty one chigawatts, Like hook
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that clock up to a lightning rod and let's make
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: this thing happen. It was so funny to me. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: kept making back to the future jokes during the whole
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: entire movie. And then there was another part where he
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: was hat. He made some kind of mention about like
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: doing exactly the same thing as he did the night
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: that he went missing or whatever, and I was like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: now we're in a freaky Friday moment where they're like
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: trying to recreate the exact same thing so they can
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: switch bodies back.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So this movie didn't do it for you. That is
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: so funny. This for me was a very solid offering.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Not one of my favorites, but what I want in
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a Hallmark movie, I want a sweet little story. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: want a little bit of Christmas Dacre. I wanted to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: just relax me and lull me to sleep, quite frankly,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and I think it did that check in with our
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: niece count because we have the knies count off screen
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in this movie. Did you know it his?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: When they were shopping, She's like, oh, I am shopping
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: for my nieces, so boom, I missed it.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Oh boom, that's hilarious. Yes, good, good call.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Now, isn't it weird? So Megan is the great great
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: granddaughter of Rosie, his beloved maid, who kind of was
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: like a maternal figure to him in my mind, even
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: though I don't think she was that much older, she
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: was very kind of I think she played that role
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit. So is it weird that then he
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: goes and hooks up with her like great great granddaughter
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred years in the future. No, I want to.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Make a connection here with a show outside of Hallmark,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: if I may please. Recently, Bravo debut The Real Housewives
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of Salt Lake City.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know she's going no, but I read things.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: The girl is married to her grandma's ex husband. Is
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: something that wag adoo that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it didn't her grandmother ask her to marry him.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: That's my understanding.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what the story is.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I think I just thought. I was like, I need
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you to marry him. That's the story as I heard.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It could be false. I have not yet watched the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: new the.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: New cast, so I don't think it's too much of
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: a stretch that Charles Whitley is now in love with
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: his maid's great.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Great granddaughter, great great daughter. Okay, what else did I have?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Anything else? I had?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I had another? Did you see that?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: But please?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Okay? When he tells her that he there's like proof
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: that he's from nineteen oh three, where it's hidden under
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the rug in his office, and she's like tapping around
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: on the floor, tap tap tap, tap tap tap. Then
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: finds the secret under floor compartment, which I said to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: my husband, why don't we have anymore? That would be
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: really cool? And he said, what would you put on there?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, jewelry or something. I
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: think it's a great idea. Anyway, that's a side note.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: So she finds the stuff. It's all dusty and cobwebbed.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: But then she's flipping through his dang journal and the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: pages are pristine, and she just put in her big
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: old thumb marks on him. There's no.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So dumb.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, not that I'm looking for like some tattered pages,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: but like she's just like someone through this journal, like
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: it's like no big deal, you know.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Well, Also, how do things get dusty when they're like
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: inside the underground? Is that the same thing? The same thing?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry that I'm the hater in this. These are
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: this is what I enjoy about these movies. While they
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: do kind of spark some Christmas join in me. I
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: do love to make commentary as I'm watching them.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I love to hate them.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I love to hate them.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, all right? Where does this fall for you
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: on a ranking out of four stars? Okay?
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: This is what I'm struggling with because I gave Never
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater one star.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: This is not a one star movie, Okay, Okay, I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: think this was worse than that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if the Christmas Sweater movie should
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: be a two and this should be a one.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Se No, I don't see any way in which Christmas
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Weather is better than this movie. No, Oh, we're gonna fight. Okay,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: what are you giving? Are you giving a revised two
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: star ranking to Christmas Wetter and this one gets a one. Oh,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you're I have to tell you you're in for some You're
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be disappointed. Okay, Can I give this.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: One a half star and then keep by one star?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Reading in pain that you're ranking this below Christmas Sweater?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: For me, this is a two and three quarter stars.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It's like Star Search.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not even really that great, Megan, two and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: three quarters is not that great.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: No. But I always when people book rankings are often
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: done in five stars, like Goodreads has five stars as
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: an offering, I always say, like a three star book
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: is a perfectly acceptable ranking.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Not every book is the greatest book ever. There's lots
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of books that are just perfectly fine to read and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: enjoy and move on with your life. That's how I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: feel about this movie. It was fine. I enjoyed it.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I don't need to watch it again. It's not the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: greatest movie I've ever seen, but it was a solid offering.
