• 4:25
  Speaker 2: all right. Let's talk about Sealed with a List Hit
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Me with a synopsis. After being fired from her job
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: before Christmas, Carly Kincaid gives herself till New Year's to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: complete her unfulfilled New year resolutions from the previous year,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and listing the aid of a surprising supporter, maybe the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: perfect motivator to ensure she gets things done in time.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Sealed with the List was filmed in and around New Westminster,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: British Columbia. Some scenes were also filmed in Langley at
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Martini Town, a set owned by Martini Film Studios.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Martini Town was the spot where Benjamin Ayers was doing
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: his like pop up meetup. Remember we talked about that,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I do and ago did you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Happen to see the faux Hallmark scene they filmed?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't. It was so fun.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: They had all these fans playing townspeople. I believe it
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was maybe Marco Grisini or Antonio Coupo dm us on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Instagram if you remember who it was. But was playing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the lead and he was like running through town looking
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for someone, and all these fans got to help him
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: along his way.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Was very it was a fake scene though.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: It was a fake scene emulating what a hallmark scene
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in my life.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be fun to be a part of that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Calls I want to do it. This next note was
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: not in our original notes, so I saw that sealed
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with a list drew in two point one million live viewers,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: making it the eighth most watch count down to Christmas premiere.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Did you notice that the top five all were November premiers.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Do you think people are like, I don't. I don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: have time now, but I'm gonna catch up, Like some
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of these movies are gonna get rewatches.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: They're going to find another audience.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: This would do well with a New Year's Eve, New
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Year's Day reairing totally.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I mean it was Christmas y, but yes, there's the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: whole you know, resolution aspect that really is a pain
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: point for people. So I think people would tune in.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Emily Ting and me. Linda Bismeyer, along with Robin
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Gadsby are the writers.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: On this film.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Emily and Melinda had previously worked together on Christmas at
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Golden Dragon in twenty twenty two, and Robin wrote
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a Christmas Cookie Catastrophe and Christmas Sale, which is a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: super underrated fave of ours from twenty twenty one. Yeah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I had messaged Emily Ting on Instagram because when I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: was looking up the information for this movie on IMDb,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it showed Emily, Melinda and Robin as the writers and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, explain this to me. And so
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Emily and Melinda are writing partners and Robin was hired
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to come in and like smooth out some of the dialogue.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: She said, So that's how that works. It's always weird
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: on like IMDb. You never really are sure exactly like
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: what the dynamic was. Yeah, who did what? Katie Finlay
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: plays Carly. Katie has thirty previous acting credits, including My
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Love Strikes Twice in twenty twenty one for Hallmark. You
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: might also recognize them for The Killing on Netflix, which
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: is an incredible crime thriller. If you haven't seen it,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: it sticks out to me as one of the best
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: series I've ever watched, so if you're into crime thrillers.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Katie was also in twenty six episodes of The Carrie Diaries,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: which was a Sex and the City prequel, How to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Get Away with Murder, Zoe Extraordinary Playlist, and most recently,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Walker Independence with fellow Hallmark actor Catherine McNamara.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Is Walker Independence part of the Walker Texas Ranger universe.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I have no idea actually.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Evan Roderick plays Wyatt. Evan has seventeen previous acting credits,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: including the Aurora t Garden prequel from earlier this year,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: A Tale of Two Christmases, and Autumn the City, all
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: for Hallmark. Evan was also in ten episodes of Spinning
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Out for Netflix, where he got to use his experience
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on ice in his role.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: BJ Harrison plays Millie. Bj is a familiar face for Hallmark.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: She has one hundred and thirty nine acting credits, with
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: four upcoming projects including Holidays. There it is Holidays needs
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to be on the Bengo card. That's a project that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: we thought was in post production purgatory, but I can't wait.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: How happy were you to see BJ Harrison on screen
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: when it was a surprise moment for me, Well, I.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Love her, but I also I would love to see
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: her in non Hallmark things. I gough she's from Hallmark.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Mmm yeah, Hey, let's do first impressions. My first impression
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is I stand firm in the idea of casting Evan
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Roderick and Tyler Hines and a movie together as brothers.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I find them so similar looking. Yeah, I forgot that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you thought that. Now that I'm remembering our autumn and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the city talk, and I do see it especially.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I got a little bit of pushback about this comment
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in the Facebook group because, uh, I can't remember exactly
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: what the person said. But if you look back at
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: like Tyler's first movies for Hallmark, where he's very clean shaven,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a little baby faced, exactly alike.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: They both have dimples, don't they.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: They're cute. Few rod Roys real cute. Put him in
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: more movies.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: My first impression is, does why I live in Downton Abbey.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, with the servants bizarre.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Staff in uniform in Manhattan. I'm sure planning people have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: staff in Manhattan. It just the whole place was the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: breakfast at the formal dining table, and well, I'm.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Sure people live like that. It's just we don't live
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just a dude in his early thirties lives
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe. Okay, let's talk about what you liked about
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the last countdown to Christmas movie I'll
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be watching for review purposes, and I loved ending on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a high note.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed watching this movie. I think this movie
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was what you hoped a New Year's Resolution would, Babe Bam.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: As I was writing my notes, I was like, this
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: is very similar to a New Year's Resolution, however better
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: It's better.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, our a New Year's Resolution rewatch review did come
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: out earlier this year, so give that a listen.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you? Overall, I thought this was a
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: solid movie. I really loved how the friendship between Krly
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: and Wyatt slowly develops, and it felt slow, but it
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: was really like within days, right. I mean, of course
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: they work together a whole year, but like this, like
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: trying to fulfill her resolutions happens like in a week,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. But I thought their friendship developed naturally and nicely.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: How much do you love him calling her by her
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: last name?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I love it. However, I think it's going to that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: idea of it feeds into one of my wishes, So
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: let's circle back to that. Let's all right to that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I really like the family elements in this movie too,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Like they had these strained relationships, but they're not totally broken,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Like everything could be repaired with a nice heart to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: heart conversation, especially Wyatt and his dad. I thought was
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: nice to see repaired. And then Carly and her mom
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: easily make up. There was at one point I was like,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: why is Carly's mom mad? Like I don't get it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: What did I miss? And then I think it was
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: just because of her quitting her job or no, maybe
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: fire lied about it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Oh whatever, Okay, but they easily make up. So yes,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that feeds into one of my wishes too. I like
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that in this movie they quickly move past Wyatt being
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: kind of a douche. We first meet him and he
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: puts the baby in Nepo baby with his inability to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: do anything for himself, including making a cup of coffee,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: which I find to be one of the more unbelievable elements,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like even with staff, you've never learned to make a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee. Anyway, they move kind of past that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and his good guy flag starts to fly pretty quickly,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and I liked that because it helped me believe in
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: their relationship and their chemistry and that friendship heat that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: was building.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I agree. I thought this movie has some great writing,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: has some really funny lines, and I thought they were
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: perfectly executed, both by Katie and Evan. I enjoyed their
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: banter quite a bit because it wasn't mean spirited banter.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It was very fun. And I really enjoy Katie Finley too.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: They're like cool and dry, little sarcastic, very unhullmark.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I found myself looking at their hair thinking I'm not
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a short hair person. I don't have a face for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: short hair. I just found myself envious of their cute, sassy,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: little short, curly hairstyle.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was cute, and then at the end it
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: was like blowing out and like, m she looking. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: liked it. I agree.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I like that Wyat quantifies her resolutions because when we
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: look at her list when she first made it, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: took a screenshot of it, but I was like, well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: how do you you take up running?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Like what don look like? And He's like, what does
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: that mean? So what do you actually what's the end result.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And they made it that she wants to run.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: This five k.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That makes sense for the movie to have a goal
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: instead of like, Okay, let's go for a run. You
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: did it?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. In that same scene, he says something
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: like this looks more like a to do list than
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a list of resolution, And it really made me sit
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in my own thoughts about like the never ending to
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: do list. I would rather like work on things that
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: like propel me further than just tasks, you know, even
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: though tasks are a something you can't get away from.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But I like that he was telling her that a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: lot of these things.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: These are like cleaning out the closet, right, so to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: do yeah exactly, whereas maybe running a five k is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: kind of a to do but also has the added
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: benefit of potentially adding running as something you enjoy doing,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: or you've tried something new. You know, you have all
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: these other side benefits. Waiting to make your grandmother's recipe
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is something you can carry with you. I have two
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: more likes, and they are scenes. The first scene when
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: they go caroling and they're singing the songs and the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: different language is even sign language.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, I thought it was so nice.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I actually have that written down I forgot to transfer
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to my notes, so I'm glad you brought that up.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And you know, I notoriously don't like little kids in movies,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: but this little girl singing Silent Night, Oh yeah, so cute,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: so so cute.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: The one last line that I loved is when she's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like trying to up her pace for the five k
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and she's like, what do I do? He's like, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. I try again and run faster, and I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: just thought like, okay, that's the banter was great.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: The banter was great. And finally, the one thing I
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed two is when Curly and her mom make
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: up and her mom tells her I don't remember the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: line for bitim, but it was something like all the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: sacrifices she made were for her daughter so her daughter
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have to settle. And I was like, man, if
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: that doesn't sum.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Up parenting, yes, well, that a great line tice perfectly
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: into my wish if I may, Yes, so I would
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like to say enough with children, assuming that parental pride
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: is tied to one specific achievement. Early in the movie,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Carly and her mom are walking and mom says that
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: she's proud of her for pushing through on a job
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that was challenging, and much like our issue with disagreements
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and assumptions that happen in other movies, Carly just assumes
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that to mean she needs to stay in that job
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: forever to avoid disappointing her mom, rather than projecting that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: pride on Mom's going to be proud of you for
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: working hard, for being yourself, for pursuing your dreams. It's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: not this one achievement that makes her.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Proud, right, exactly one of my wishes for it, And
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: let's go back to it. You say, how much do
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I love Wyatt calling Carly Kincaid? Right, I love very,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: very so servous for what you're gonna say, Well, look,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I wish this movie didn't end in romance. And I
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: think it's okay that two people like help and care
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: for each other without romance, because honestly, I didn't get
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of like lovey Debbie, lovey Debbie vibes
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: from Carly and Wyatt throughout this movie, and it had
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: such great chemistry. I do too, but as friends, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I think when you call somebody by their last name
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: feels very non intimate. You know.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: My feeling is it felt like Logan calling Rory ace
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and look, I think Logan is Rory's endgame in spite
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: of the fact that he's also kind of a Napple
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: baby douche.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: That's a Gilmore girl's reference. If anybody doesn't get it,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Indeed, here's my feeling on that. I think perhaps the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: problem with the chemistry, feeling like maybe you didn't feel
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the love vibes. And to be clear, I'm not saying
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. I'm saying we have these movies that this
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: one didn't end in a declaration of love. Right she
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: kisses him. We're one week, two week, three weeks in,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: maybe a year into them knowing each other. We're early
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: in their relationship. They've just transitioned from friends to finally
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. And so for me, did I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: feel like they were in love headache for the altar? No,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: but I felt like I saw the potential for more
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: from them.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: So it was like the next step. It was an
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: appropriate next steppe. Okay, yes, I hear you. I kind
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: of thought he was like taken by surprise by that
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: kids at the end. Oh, I don't know. I don't know.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I like them together, Don't get me wrong, I just didn't.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: There were some parts that were kind of They did
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: have some like touchy filling parts, like when she got
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: home from her run and he was like massaging her
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: legs and she touched his face at one point. Uh
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: huh eh. I don't know.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I may have to rewatch it till see if I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: see the chemistry or not. I'm just imagining the deleted
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: scene after their kisses, him being like, okay, but I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: don't feel that way about you, Like I was just
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: trying to be a good guy since I met you fired.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly. That's all my wishes.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: That's all my wishes. Let's move on to did you
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: see that I have but one? Oh, go ahead, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: mean it's Chris McNally as Rudolph in the Christmas five K.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Chris McNally. I didn't even notice.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's you have to go back and watch because
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: he is so intense.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Was the one that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: She's battling against at the finish.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't even notice. I'm definitely gonna
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: have to go back and watch. Wow, he's great. Oh
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: when you said Chris McNelly and I'm thinking Chris Farley,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, what is talking about? Back from the dead? Yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Chris McNally. Okay, now I'm gonna go back and watch.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I wonder if he was just there or what? How's
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: that work? How are these little cameos work? I love it?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I love it? Here am I two? Did you see?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: That's Carly and white? They're looking at her perfectly printed
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: card stock resolutionless. I just was like what and then
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: like this is right before like she goes running for
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the first time, and why it like casually slips this
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: like stiff eight eight by eleven paper into his vest
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and like takes off after her, Like what are you
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: gonna do with that? You can't like fold it? Like
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: there's no very portable. No it's not, it's not. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: then app list totally. I mean, we're dealing with like
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: millennials here. They they use their phone. They don't print
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: out things on a card stock paper. Come on, when
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Carly's trading for her race and Wyatt hires those kids
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: to throw snowballs at her, thought was very funny. There's
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: one quick shot that shows why it and there's like
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: wind blowing and snow flurries, in the background, and I'm like,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: is this to indicate that she's like running by very quickly?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Like was it supposed to be funny? Because not one
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: scene before or after that ever showed like extreme weather.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Oh that's funny, So I was like, what what's happening there?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Is it just because like she's zipping by and his
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: hair is blowing and like uh stirring up the snow? Yes, course,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: sort of sort of. Yeah, it was weird anyway, all right,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: what'd you rate? Sealed with a list? I get it,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: four stars, me too, exactly forced.
