  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I love the community over there. There's like a lot
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of people who know a lot of stuff, and I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: love it. I love it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: They actually scooped me on something the other day. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was about to go post something in the group and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: somebody had already posted itop.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I love it. Yes, come join.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do Hallmark News and notes. We cannot bury
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this headline. Okay, so lots of actually big news coming
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: out of Hallmark, but the biggest, the Queen of Hallmark
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: has abdicated her throne.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Goodbye.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: If you haven't heard, Candace Cameron Beret has signed a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: deal to develop, produce, and star in movies and series
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and take on an executive role for GAK Family.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I have a quote from a Deadline dot Com article
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that she talked about this move, and I'm just curious
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: your thoughts. You might have read it too, but I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: just I'm curious about you, what you have to say.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: She says, I'm very excited to develop heartwarming family and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: faith filled programming and make the kind of stories my
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: family and I love to watch. And she also says that,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you know, because she's going to be doing a ton
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of stuff, Like you said, she's excited for great quality
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: entertainment with a positive message. And I am really annoyed
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: by all of that and not surprised.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well, and she doesn't say, but what we read into
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that is that she's going to be creating that on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Ghak Family because Hallmark has potentially turned away from that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how you read it?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Absolutely?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Now is that fair?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe not?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe she just is trying to put a positive spin.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe they offered her a ton of money. I don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: think Ghak has produced original content since Christmas. They're just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: rerunning sitcoms over there, so they definitely need the influx
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of content. I read multiple articles about this, and I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: never saw the word exclusive, So I don't know if
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that means that she will still be creating Hallmark movies.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I looked in every press release I could find. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: never saw the word exclusive, so I think that would
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: leave her open to create a Hallmark movie, although I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: think what she wants is to be like, hey, you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: want to see the Queen of Christmas, come on over
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to GAK because you're not gonna get it in countdown
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to Christmas two.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I think you are right. Yeah, I can't imagine that
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Hallmark's gonna be like, all right, yeah, you can do
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a movie for us now. I think this just paves
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the way for other actresses. And you know, Mike, Queen
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of Hallmark is Lacey Saber Shabeer, so I'm here for
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: more of her movies.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I just don't think people are gonna follow her there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: There are some, for sure, there are some people who
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are leaving Hallmark, and I will talk more about that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: as it pertains to this movie. I just don't think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they're gonna follow her in droves the way Ghak thinks
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's gonna be interesting to see. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: think she's got her hardcore following for sure.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Sleepy Kitty Paw, who is insider waking Hallmark on Twitter,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: had a long thread about this, and I can send
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you the link to include in our show notes for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: anybody who would like to read her thoughts. I actually
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't know their thoughts. And one of the things she
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: says is the reality is that the Hallmark part of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the Hallmark equation seems just as important as the actor.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: For example, Danaka mckeller's final Hallmark movie, You Me and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the Christmas Trees had two point two million viewers, while
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: her first GHAK title, The Winter Palace had about one
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand. Danaka mckeller is not kannas Cameron Bray in
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the world of Hallmark, but she is a well liked,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: well known face. It wasn't enough to bring those two
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: point two million people over. And what I think GAK
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is ignoring and that sleepy kittyp Pap points out is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like Hallmark is like Kleenex. Grandma knows where Hallmark is,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: she knows how to find it on her TV. She
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: knows that's where her movies are. When people talk about
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Christmas movies, they often talk about Hallmark movies, even if
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it's that style of movie across multiple channels. And so
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I just don't think GHAK can compete. And we have many,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: many times talked about our thoughts on the way GHAK
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: is weaponizing the term family friendly. I am not here
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: for it, and so I am disappointed a little bit
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in CCB's decision to do this.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I am not surprised, well meaning they're not surprised either.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I think either. They showed her a ton of money,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: like you said, and with tons of opportunity to like
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: curate programming and produce and whatever. Right, I mean, how
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: could you turn down that offer? That probably feels really good?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I think in the wake of Look, Lacey Shaber's movies
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: did better than hers, a number of movies did better
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: than hers this past year, and then they kind of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: with the Wedding Veil trilogy somewhat crowned their favorites in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a way.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I feel it's a statement on many levels. Moving on,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: what other big Hallmark news coming out this week? We
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: heard that Andrew Walker signed it an exclusive that was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: listed in the deal multi pictured with Homewark more Andrew Walker,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: bless you please.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Andrew Walker is like BFFs with Tyler Hines, So I'm
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna expect and exclusive Tyler Heines deel come
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: into the news Escape here soon too. I don't know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: This makes me so happy? Give me more curious caterer
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: with Andrew Walker. Let's get popping on Love Classified.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Let's hear it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for synopsis? I am Okay. It's a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: short one romance novelist Emilia returns home after a long
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: absence to reconnect with her children, who are also finding
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: their own paths to love. Stars Melaura Hardin Airy and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Mandy I know I'm saying that wrong. How do you
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: say it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: That sounds right to me?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, Catherine mac namara and Max Lloyd Jones. I always
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: butcher everybody's name. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible about it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that the IMDb page is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in embarrassment the number of there's like twenty actors listed,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and five of them have their character names listed alongside them,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Like Hannah's name isn't listed, Taylor's name isn't listed. It's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: an embarrassment. Somebody whoever was in charge of that needs
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to get on their game.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Well here's my inside scoop on IMDb. It's not very
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: user friendly, and so I'm sure some intern is like, ah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: how do I do this? So you know I can't, Yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: but I understand.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Let's happen to some news and notes about this movie. Okay,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it was filmed not in Vancouver but in Victoria, which
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: is the cutest little town you ever did see.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Have you been there? I have? Oh nice? I just
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: shared on our Hallmark Facebook page not group, a really
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: cute article about like real life Hallmark towns, and I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: would tell you last weekend I was in Summerland, California,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and I stopped for breakfast at this totally adorable cafe
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and I was like, this is like a Hallmark main
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: street here. This is so cute. I mean, I don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: know why they're not filming movies there other than it's
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in California.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But is Summerland, California the same place that the Summerland
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: TV shows starring Lori Laughlin was.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Not full circle moment here? I think it? I think
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it is. Yeah, yes, like Santa Barbara County. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I like that show. By the way, I think I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: watched it. I don't really remember the details of it, though.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I was mixing it up with the reboot of nine
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: O two one zero because she was the mom and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: that too. Oh so I was like, did they come
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: move from Summerland to uh Beverly Hills or am I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: confused here?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Many? Okay.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: The writer of this movie is Lynn Sternberger, and she
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: also wrote from a Laura Harden on The Bold Type.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I love it. So speaking of Malaura Harden, she plays Amelia.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: She's most notable for playing jan on The Office, which
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: is a show you've never watched, Is that right.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was Michael's girlfriend. She was very funny on
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that show. She was Jacqueline on The Bold Type, which
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: is a show we loved except for that last season,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: but other than that, it was really great. And she
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: just was on the thirtieth season of Dancing with the Stars,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: which I also watched, and she finished in sixth place.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: She was great. She was great on that show.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I need to tap into my old lady's side and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: get on some Dancing with the Stars. I mean, was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that the most recent season with Jojo Siwa?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I was just stoked because, like you
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: know it, the winners are always like the young ones,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But and Melaura, I don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: know how old she is, but she's older than me.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And I was very impressed with her dancing ability, her stamina,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: her good attitude, like she was a pleasure to watch.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Catherine McNamara plays Taylor mm hmm. I was looking
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: at her IMDb. She has a ton of acting credits,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: including the c w's Arrow, a show that I am
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: not familiar with, but I think it's for maybe the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: teens or the sci fi group. Yeah, it's not for me.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I think she's also new to Hallmark and I would
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: like to see her again.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: God, I loved her so cute.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: She's so freaking cute right, Such good hair too, she
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: has great hair.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Max Lloyd Jones he plays the brother Zach Now. He's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: currently on Disney Plus in the Book of Bobofette and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: season two of The Mandalorians. Why are you laughing? Oh whatever?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say, these are shows I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: do not watch. Star Wars is completely lost on me.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know any details, but here's a fun note.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And maybe you recognize him from Once upon a Time?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Oh I don't who did he play Jacob? He was
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: like somebody's like hand hand man or something. I don't know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Oh man, Okay, I'll have to ask my son.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Oh is he like that show or rewatching that show?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, my husband was the biggest fan, and then they
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: rewatched it together.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Oh. Cute, cute, cuit cute. Max Lloyd Jones also is
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: not new to Hallmark. He played Tom Thornton on When
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Calls the Heart from twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen. Just
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: a side note here. We have a great guy in
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: our hallwork group named Michael, and he gave us some
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: criticism a while back about not having enough deep knowledge
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of affors and actresses. So I just want to note
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that I really did a deep dive. I can tell
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm preparing for this episode. Can you tell I can?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: All right? I just wanted to make that clear. Finally,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Doctor Frankie. She is played, and I'm tell me her
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: name again, Arian, Is that all right?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Okay? Arian Mandy. I know her as Danny Nuniez from
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: The L Word Generation Q on Showtime, which I'm a
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: big fan of. I really like that show quite a bit.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And if you remember when we did our Spring into
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Love Like preview episode, uh huh, we had talked specifically
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: about this movie and this actress. And do you remember what.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I said, Well, you wondered if there was the same
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: sex storyline coming, But I don't know if that's what
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you're asking.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Me, That's what I'm asking you, Okay. I remember that, Yes,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And I based that on that she is in a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: same sex relationship on the L word generation Q. So
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I was trying to put the puzzle pieces together and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I was correct. Indeed, Harden directed this movie, and she
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: also directed twenty twenty one's Christmas Sale, which we liked
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the lot. Yeah, we did record a review of that movie,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: but it was only on Patreon. I did try to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: look and see because I was gonna drop it in
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: our show notes, but it's not available for the for
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the regular listening public.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You could subscribe to our Patreon and get access to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: back episodes though.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: M okay. One last thing I had read that Melora
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Harden told Media Village dot com that she hoped this
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: would be a momentous film for Hallmark.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that is accurate.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: This unfortunately had the lowest premiere numbers for twenty twenty
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: two Hallmark movies at one point what six million?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: The second lowest prior to that was Second Chance at Love,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: which is heartbreaking to me. The highest was The Wedding Veil,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the first one at three point three million.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: No other movie to million.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I hope that this movie got a lot of good feedback.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I was following the hashtag on Twitter and so many
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: people left such great comments there's always a lot of tweets,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: but it's always like love Hallmark, love that these were
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: really personal thoughts, and a lot of people were saying
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: like I loved seeing a reflection of my own relationship
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: on Hallmark. I love seeing these women together, I love
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: seeing Hallmark embracest and so I'm hoping this movie has
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a slow burn. I tweeted that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I think if you've never watched a Hallmark movie, to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: start with this one. And I do know that we
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: have some listeners of our main podcast that listen to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: these episodes in spite of not being Hallmark movie watchers.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And I would say to you, We've said it before,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: if you're going to watch a Hallmark movie, watch this one.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: If you're going to watch a Hallmark movie, watch this one.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: If you're never going to watch another one, this is
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: such a departure. I know I'm veering off news and notes.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I'll get back to it, but I oh, keep going.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Also, this movie was executive produced by Neil Dodson, who
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: is the husband of Ashley williams Oh. He also had
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a hand in the Sister Swat movies and Melaura Harden
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: tweeted fun fact cover of all my books are the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: face of the producer's wife, Ashley Williams.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember if I saw any of her books.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I apparently didn't notice, because I didn't see this sweet
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: until after I had finished watching, and then did not
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: go back and look for them.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I remember she holds it up. It's something
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: about like a progue, something about Prague. I'm gonna might
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: have to go back and look just out of curiosity.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I was hoping someone would include a photo, and I
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: can't find any photos that have been posted. I accept
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that challenge. I will if I find them, I will
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: put them in the show notes. Guys, excellent, I would
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: like to get on my I am be soapbox per minute.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I have that also, Please let's start.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I am really disappointed at the reviews, and I'm doing
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: reviews and air quotes on IMDb. Like you said, there
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: were some supportive ones in there, but comments like this
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: isn't family viewing, and it saddens me to see Hallmark
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: embracing wokeness, which makes my head want to explode when
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I see somebody using that word. There's just so much
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: hate so much hate.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it turns my stomach. I looked at the IMDb
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: reviews and I was very pleasantly surprised that when I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: opened up the reviews, the first several were all very positive,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and at the time that I looked, there were more
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: positive reviews.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Than negative reviews.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: That may have changed, but like you, I saw that
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: people use the term woke, please stop, please stop, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the comments, like I said, they turned my stomach. And
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I am not in the same sex relationship, and I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: can only imagine that this this movie was so beautiful
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and it was such a like adorable, sweet rom com,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and if I were in a relationship with a woman
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and I saw people telling me that my life isn't
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: family friendly.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: It's it just.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It sickens me. And this, again is why we strongly
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: dislike GAK. They've taken that term family friendly and they've
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: weaponized it in a way that is incredibly dangerous, because
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you're telling people that their lives.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Are not for public consumption.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I have a call to action here
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: and I want to encourage listeners of this podcast that
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: if you like this movie, I want you to head
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: over to IMDb and write a positive review. For it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Now you have said before the IMDb is not user friendly,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: but I know you've left reviews, So tell people that that's.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: A different situation.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: That's a different situation. You can leave a review. It's
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: super easy. It's the back end stuff of IMDb, like
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: if you're adding like details about actors and movies and
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: who produced it and that kind of stuff. So the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: back end stuff of IMDb. It has a very user
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: friendly interface for if you want to leave a review
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: or a rating on it. So I really encourage listeners.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: If you like this movie or any other movie in
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the last two years that included diversity of any kind,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: go write positive messages for it on IMDb. Those people
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: in entertainment are looking at that. Yes, I love that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea. Thank you, you're welcome. Let's talk
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: first impressions.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you go.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I tried cleaning my kitchen WHI watching, and I couldn't.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: This wasn't one of those you could just throw on
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and have in the background, huh no.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: And I kept having to stop and pause and go
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: back and rewatch and turn on close captions, and then
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I just had to stop the movie and finish cleaning
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: my kitchen. And then go back to the movie when
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I was able to watch and enjoy it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Nice, nice, nice. Okay, So for me, this movie wasn't perfect,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: but this is a top three Hallmark movie for me
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for people who don't know the history here, I had
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: never seen a Hallmark movie prior to twenty twenty one,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: is that right? Twenty twenty twenty twenty Christmas twenty twenty
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: never seen one, have no interest in it, Like, it
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: is just not for me. And I've watched two years
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: of some really terrible movies, but there's a handful that
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I really like and this is one of them. So
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: it just makes me super excited. Would you be able
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: to name your top three or you just know this
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: is one of the best.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely a Christmas Waltz with Lacy Shabert. Oh love that movie.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And Tyler Hynes and Unexpected Christmas Great choices, great choice,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And those are two Christmas movies. So here this is
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: a non Christmas Hallmark movie that I'm telling you will
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: watch again. I loved it, same awesome. Okay, let's talk
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: about what you liked.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: One thing I liked is this movie had the feel
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of movies like a movie you hate love actually a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: movie you maybe have seen Valentine's Day Nope ever seeing it.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It has a huge hit stars like Ashton Kutcher and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Garner, and it has an enormous cast. And what
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: those movies have in common is they both have big
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: casts of characters with intersecting lives, but each character has
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: their own story and I loved that format For Hallmark.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: We usually follow one character beginning to end, and then
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: there's other little mild off stories. I felt it was
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a pretty even balance among the characters and what was happening.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And I liked that awesome for me. Number one was
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: the story. The romantic storyline between Taylor and Frankie was
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: secondary to the story about this family dealing with grief
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and hurt and disappointment. And to that, I say bravo
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: to Hammark for giving us something deeper than just the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: familiar tropes that we were used to. Yeah, like, this
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to me felt like, uh, and I always say this
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: like a real movie, yes, thousand percent agree, like a
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Netflix movie.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yes, yeah, I like there are several
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: romantic entanglements in this movie, but the only people who
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: have a kiss are Taylor and Frankie and they kissed twice.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I know, and in like mid movie. Yes, it wasn't
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: one of those like I love you at the end
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and over you know, a good kiss too. I agree.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: So what I'd like that this movie not only gives
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: us like a same sex couple, which we've had movies
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: in the last couple of years that I show same
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: sex couples right, or talk about them, you know, or imply,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: But this really explored a topic of like sexual fluidity
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: that we did. I say that, right, Yeah, I've never
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: seen anything really like that before, you know, like Taylor,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I mean it's implied that she's straight right at the beginning,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: but then meets Frankie and is like, I'm open to this.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that it was she'd never been in a relationship
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: with a woman, but that it was more about, oh,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I have an attraction to this person, right, and the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: best part of it, right, And then the best part
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: of it is that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Her coworker, Hannah, and her brother and her mom don't
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: even blink at it. They're like, all right, you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: it was just awesome.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hannah's her biggest cheerleader. I love Hannah in this movie.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: When she's a fever, Oh, she was great. You know
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: her mom's first reaction is my daughter's dating a doctor. Yes,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: well done. There wasn't even a moment where they had
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to have this like coming out and the family struggles.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Everyone's just so happy for her.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love the gal that played Hannah. Her
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: name is Baraka Ramani and I had to look her
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: up because she's not listed on IMDb. I don't believe
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: or she might be. I had to look at her Instagram.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: She's listed on IMDb, but she's not named as Hannah,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: so she's in the full past. But she was hilarious
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and who and who wrote the lines for her were
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: so funny. I just thought she was so funny. Agree,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And she has a pretty small list of IMDb credits,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: but I hope, I hope we see more of her.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. Hey, Malaura Harden's wardrobe was fabulous. I
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: thought it was she and sophisticated. Did you even.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Notice her big giant pink, puffy sleeves. I'm like, that's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: something Jacqueline from The Bold Type would wear when she
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: was in the art. I just thought she looked so
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: pretty and she had like these like like really pretty,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: like elaborate suits on with like these pretty like ruffled
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you know shirts. I just I like that look. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: just thought she looked beautiful, beautiful. I thought they thought
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the wardrobe well across the board. Sometimes they don't dress
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: young women like young women, And I thought Taylor had
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a real cute wardrobe as well.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Well. She wore this super cute bell apron thing when
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: she was working at the Blue Marea. Did you even
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: notice it didn't kind of like a fanny pack but
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: kind of like something like a handyman would wear. You
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: know that it has your like tools and stuff in it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I want one. Is she just
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: looks stylish because she was like was really cute with
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: her like cute shirts and jeans and then this cute
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: little like belt and I was like, I want to
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: work at a plant shop. That would be so fun.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and her good hair. She had the best hair.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is coming from a girl who has
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: great hair too, so but I have a really bad
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: haircut right now, so I'm very envious everyone's hair.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: This is so small. But when Taylor and Zacho bowling,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and Taylor does her ridiculous bowling throw, she does this
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: like little shimmy like slide to the side. It's the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: cutest thing I've ever seen, Like, I can't obviously it
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: was improvised, like there's no way that you'd be like
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and then slide in a way that's.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Like really cute.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I can't, I cannot describe it. You would have had
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to see it.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: But I know what you're talking about. She like throws
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: it crazy and then she like does a weird little
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: shimmy to watch it go down the alley. Right, Yes, yes,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're talking about. That's so funny
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: that we noticed that same thing. I want to say
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that Emilia's monologue at the end during her book reading
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: had some moments that I thought no one would say
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: that out loud, but but she There was two things
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that really got me. One when she talks about abandoning
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: her adult children because she couldn't deal with her husband's death,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: felt like a sucker punch to me, Like it had
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: me very emotional. Yes, And I was just like that
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: felt very real because I know she's criticized and from
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: everything I've read, like her characters criticized for like bouncing
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: right like after her husband dies and leaves her adult children.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: But like people deal with grief in all different ways.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't know. I just thought it was very
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: realistic and I like that that it was like a
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: hard topic. Second, she has in the same monologue, She's me,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna read it. I wrote it down because I
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: thought it was like, oh my god, this is amazing.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Did you pay close attention to that monologue or no? Yes? Okay,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: So she says that she wants to start writing her
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: books in a way. That quote pays tribute to the
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: more complicated love stories around us. Not all are flawless,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: not to all are romantic, and not all are expected.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: And I was like, is this the direction that Hallmark
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: is going in? Count me in? Yeah? Yeah, I just
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is the story that we have
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: in front of us. This was the movie. It wasn't
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: It wasn't flawless. The whole thing wasn't romantic, and it
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: was unexpected and complicated.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, Hallmark loves a happy ending, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: we have so many.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Not so many, but we have.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Several romantic storylines that are very up in the air
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and very incomplete and don't have a clear direction forward.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And that's life. And that's where they were in this moment,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and I liked it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: When her book publisher comes in at the end and
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, he's a perfect match for Frankie's like
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: doctor friend. I laughed out loud. I thought it was
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: so funny, just like a throwaway, like it didn't even
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: need to be like sad, but it was just so funny.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Did you like anything else about this movie?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: There were just the writing was impeccable. It's just so
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: funny and quippy. I mean, Hannah at one point it's
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: like spitballing things she can put on classify for the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: for the flower Shop, and she's like, I don't know
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: all my plant loving nomis and I just like laughed
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: out loud of the ridiculousness. But the writing, Bravo.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about what we wished for well.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: To your point about Amelia's monologue and about showing the realness,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time both believing and forgiving Amelia for,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: to use her words, abandoning her children. I have not
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: lost a spouse. I can't personally speak to that. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: can imagine that it would be hard as hell to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: lose the love of your life. I cannot imagine a
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: situation in which I then abandoned my children.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, and neither can you.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: There's there's you can't because I feel like I were
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: in that position. Would you be like, yeah, now I
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: want you to lose both parents?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: No? No, But I could see how she could justify
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: it by saying like, well, they're adults, they're not like
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: they don't need their mom, you know, on the every
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: day anymore. I'm not justifying it. I just think that
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: grief is a real bitch and it can do weird
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: things to you. I don't disagree.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree, and I can understand her needing to
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: move away. I can understand her needing to say like, hey,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I want you in my life, but I can't have
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it be in this place where all of my memories are.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: And look, of course they needed a conflict, and I
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: get it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: That is hard for me to understand. Sure, Okay, I
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: understand like when children's children die, marriages fall apart. That
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I can understand. I just don't understand the reverse.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: In Happier News, I think Taylor and Frankie need a sequel.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's what you wish for. Yeah, I would love
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: a sequel. I would Yeah, I would love a sequel.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: What'd you wish for?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, as much as I liked Melaura Harden's character, I
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: thought she was manic at times. Oh, and I thought
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: it was distracting, Like she has like a way of
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: her acting where she like is like spitting out these
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: lines at such a pace and her head is like
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: jerking around a little bit. It only happened in a
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: few scenes, but I just found it very distracting.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Like when she's talking herself out of ordering coffee and
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: a mimosa.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: That when she's in the bar talking to you know who,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: and when she's in the hospital, like she's just like acts.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't. I like. The word that
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: comes to me is manic. Yeah, twitch is twitchy.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And this is an old lady complaint. I wish I
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: would have left the little chat bubbles up on the
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: screen longer because I needed to read them. When they
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: were doing like the Classified Love Classified or whatever, you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: clified had to pause. Yeah, I was like, leave that
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: up there. I need to read it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very few things I wished for in this movie. Same, oh, same,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: are you ready for? Did you see that?
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, we've both held back.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Is the best? Did you see that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: One went in the bar?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Yes? It absolutely is?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And who was the bartender?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Hi? Paul Campbell.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: He comes on screen and I literally go Paul Campbell
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: like he's my lom like house high school buddy.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I did too, I like gass them like Paul Campbell's
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: in this And then I was like did he write this?
• 33:32

  Speaker 1: screenshot that to me and say, am I looking at
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Paul Campbell's right here?

  Speaker 2: Oh I did? You're right? And I think, right, yes,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I think the answer is yes too. I forgot about that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I'm terrible at objectifying these men on my TV. I mean,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: he's sorry.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: He objectified himself.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I didn't have to like screenshot it and
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: send it around the internet just to me, just to me, Hey,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I have one funny Did you see that? And I
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: think it's funny. In one of the early opening scenes, Margo,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the bookstore manager, is walking and reading at the same time,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: and she runs into this couple and the guy in
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: this pairing is like seven feet tall. He's huge, huge,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: His head is out of the frame right, And what's
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: funny is that he's walking with a much shorter woman.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: And I had saw on IMDb a woman billed as
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: height difference couple female, and I didn't get the joke
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: until like I like put it all together. I was like, Oh,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: this is the chick with the super tall dude. It
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: was funny.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Fun fact.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Did you know that they completely built that bookstore out
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: of an empty room that is not an existing bookstore.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: They staged it really I'm impressed, me too.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: So m. At one point, Emilia is in a bar
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: and she her old high school flame shows up and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: she orders a Shirley Temple. Did you did you see
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the Shirley Temple?
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: No, I don't remember.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I took a picture of it. It's not a Hirley temple.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: A Shirley temple is a sprite and grenadine, right am
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I this? I am correct in this? No, it's like
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: a it looks like a like a tequila sunrise.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Let me find the photo.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: It is red on the bottom and yellow on top,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: like a bright yellow on top. And it's funny because
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: on the screen, like the caption literally says like, oh,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: this is a Churley temple, and it has like an
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: orange slice on it, which is not really the problem.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: But it's red and orange. It's not a Chirley temple.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: How hard is it to fake a Churley temple?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they didn't have any sprite, maybe
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: clear soda there?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Come on?
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: But there are they in an actual bar? Are they
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: in a bar or a restaurant? I can't remember that scene.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: They're sitting at a bar. There's a bartender in this
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: screenshot that I took. I have one more. But this
• 38:05
