  Speaker 1: potential love interest, Kira enters her dog in an agility show.

  Speaker 2: What is that about the whole movie?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: This whole movie? Yeah? Notes Ecusan notes. We've been doing
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Hallmark news and notes lately, but there's really not much
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: When Calls the Heart had their season finale this weekend,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: which Twitter was a buzz about because apparently Hallmark had
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a chiron across the bottom that said series finale and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: everyone lost their mind and they were like, don't do
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: this to us.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And then it changed. What do you mean?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Like they were calling it a series finale on the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like ticker below. Yes, and it's not technically the series
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: finale because Chesapeake Shores is ending. But when Calls the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Heart is not ending.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I think Chesapeake Shores ended.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know, okay, but they have not made
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: any announcement to the fact that one Calls the Heart
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is ending.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And Twitter was a buzz. It was a Twitter because.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: They were saying, when chester Peak Shores ended, we got
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: so much promo that this is the final season. Yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it was just a mistake. Hallmark actually corrected it and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: then people were posting pictures of the correct like wile
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the Move finale airing, they evidently they were like, oops, typo,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: sorry are bad. Wow. But no other news and notes,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: no exclusive deals signed in the last week. No, we're
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: just ramping up for summer and we have a summer
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: preview episode coming where we will talk about that. So
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: much of the news and notes has.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Been related to that, but we're not talking about that now.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well I have tons of news and notes for
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: this movie.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Mm hm.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Heather Hawthorne Doyle directed this movie. She has over thirty
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: directing credits, including movies we've recently reviewed, Advice to Love
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: By and A Little Daytime Drama, which I remember not
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: liking a Little Daytime Drama at all.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: That's because it was paved, it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Was paid, Babyfied, Babyfied. No, it's because it has that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: actress that I don't like in it. That everybody loves Lily.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I don't find her entertaining at She also has directed
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of the Godwink Christmas movies, so I mean she's,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you know, not new to the Hallmark directing game.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Indeed, she's not at all.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I'm also not new to the Hallmark game is writer
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Barbara Kimlica, who also wrote Don't Forget That I Love You,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a movie that we thought was okay, it was okay,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and Baby It's Cold Inside, a movie we definitely disliked.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I Yeah, No, I didn't like that movie at all.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I remember. It was mostly because it was like I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: would never stay in that ice hotel. Yeah. I couldn't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: get into it. I was where do you pee? Where
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: do you pee? Now? I had this conversation with my
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: mother in law just recently, who was like, that's one
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of her like life goals is to stay in ice hotel.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, no, no, no no no
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: no no. That sounds awful. Well it's not my life goal,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but it's hers, you know, and it does.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It sounds miserable.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And Wendy mentioned that Sam in this movie is played
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: by a dog named Nova, and Nova performs in a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: dog show in Vancouver every year, a dog agility show.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: As per Heather Hawthorne Noyle's.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Twitter feed, Oh Sam to dogg was real cute, real cute.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Those eyes so pretty one of the I don't even
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: know what kind of dog that was. Well in the movie,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. Oh thanks, you got the info.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Andrea Brooks plays Kira. She's got a ton of acting credits,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: mostly known for Wynn Calls the Heart. I've never seen
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: her in a Hallmark movie. That's because this is her
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: first leading role on the Hallmark channel, and many reviewers
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: were happy to see her take the lead. So She's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: only been in Wynn Calls the Heart on Hallmark. Then
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: she may have been in supporting roles in other movies,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but this was her first.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Lead actress role.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Got it. IMDb says that she was also in Unreal
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. You know who else was in Unreal?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I do, Marcus Rossner. I saw that on six episodes.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But what's interesting is I think this might be the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: first Hallmark movie of Marcus Rossner's that we've girls gone Hallmarked.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I think it is because I'm not familiar with him
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: at all. He was in the original Christmas in Evergreen,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: but that was from twenty seventeen, and I don't believe
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I've seen any of his other Hallmark movie. Where's he
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: been in the last few years He's been working, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I've just been missing them. This was a Johnson Production
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Group movie. Now, if you're in our Girl's Gone Hallmark
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Facebook group, we had a big discussion about Johnson Production Group.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So this was a Hallmark acquisition. Yes it was. That
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: informs me quite a bit.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Why now, because it's garbage? It was terrible, right, But
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: we've got Hallmark writers and Hallmark directors attached, and Hallmark
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: actors but they just I guess, created this movie and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: hoped Hallmark would just snap it up. Fill in, fill
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: it in.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So, so let me just give a little bit of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: background on Johnson Production Group. I'm gonna tell you some
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of the movies they've done. They have done recently, Romance
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to the Rescue, Warming Up to You, road Trip, Romance, Feeling, Butterflies,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Where Your Heart Belongs, and then a couple of ones
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that were not picked up by Hallmarks. So they're partners,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, they meet, the production company, makes
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: these movies and then they're sold to a network to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: networks including Amazon, Netflix, iTunes, Hulu, Disney, Lifetime Movie Network,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: ABC Family, Crown Media, which is Hallmark, ABC, Fox, WB Lifetime,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: up TV. I mean, they have a ton of partners
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that they sell these movies to. But my what I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: don't really understand is like if if I'm a production company,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: say Megan and when you want to start a production company,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and then we just like finance a movie and we
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: make it and then we hope, like Hallmark buys it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: or somebody buys it. They must have some sort of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: deal in place or some sort of going into it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: They just must know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: There's no way they're just creating all of these movies
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: without some sort of knowledge that they're going to get
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: purchased right or maybe they have a purchase.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Agreement in advance.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That's maybe they say, here's the synopsis, here's the actors
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that are attached.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Do you want to buy this movie?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, So three of these movies premiered in May, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: we were worried that May was going to be kind
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of a not a great month and has proven to be.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So do you think Hallmark just didn't have anything, like
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: they were not producing anything, Crown Media was not producing anything.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Or maybe that they planned for it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe they say, we've got a strong start to the year,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: We're going to put all our money into summer, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna fill in the spots because nobody is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like what's on Hallmark Channel in May. I'm turn into
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Hallmark for my May programming. They're a Hallmark for Christmas,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit for Fall, and then I think Summer
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: might be it's maybe second or third biggest season, so
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's just placeholder, filler fluff. I'm kind of hoping that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Hallmark right now is really working on quality fall in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Christmas movies. Yeah, that is my hope. Yeah, let's hope
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we have not peaked. Yes, yes, yes, this movie was
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: originally titled Sit Stay Love. I saw that. I think
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they should have kept it. Yeah, I think it's kind
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of cute. I think Sit Stay Love is better.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it stands out more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Romance to the Rescue, road trip Romance, a Royal runaway romance.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: All of these alliterative titles just recently are all running
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: together in my mind, and I would have liked something
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that stands out a little bit more. Yeah, none of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: them stand out right, especially for someone like you would
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: be like, what was that romance movie? Like, you know, yeah,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the one with the dog. Well, I think there's two
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this year with the dog, so right, yes, Field in Langley,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: British Columbia. Heavy dot Com estimates that this movie had
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a two million dollar budget.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: That's proud on parl we usually see night, I guess.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So. I also saw that they sometimes use a puppy
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: stand in for Nova the sam the dog. I did
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not know that it was like a stuffed dog, like
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: not like a real not like it was like a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: stuffed animal, you know, but like look like the dog
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a high quality one, I guess. I mean like one
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of the actors is like holding it in an Instagram photo.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I will drop a photo of that in our show.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Note, well look at that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Would you like to move on to first impressions? Sure?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: What's yours?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Wolf? You win and yours? You're making me dread Saturday Nights, Hammark?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I know, right, I don't usually watch these on Saturday nights,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: but I was like, I'm gonna get her done because
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: then I was very busy Sunday and then sometimes it
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: just hangs over my head and I just put it
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: off and put it off even more. I was like,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not knock this out. I was like, I wanted
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to turn it off the entire time, but I had
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to finish it. That wasn't an option. So I was like,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Wendy and I were texting him like I'm just powering through,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: hating every.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Minute of this.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So is there anything you liked
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: about this movie? Well, my favorite person in this movie
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: was Mark, who's played by actor Benjamin Watson. He was great,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: found him charming, found him fun. I liked his relationship
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: with the dog. I don't know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I thought it was cute.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Although I'm not quite sure why the dog needed a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: babysitter when they went out, because he was like destroying stuff.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: They built the custom doghouse.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I know that dog house was real cute. Yeah, I'll
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: tell you more about that at all, but cute. Yes,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed him. I'd like to see more. Benjamin Watson.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I only have two likes for this movie, and one
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is one I wrote in my notes app on Saturday
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: night while I was watching this, and I wrote you
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that those dimples on Trainer Kevin your Ken's real cute.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And there is a line from Kira Andrea Brooks where
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: she says something about his dimples. Oh, and it's ad
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: libbed and they left it in. Oh really do you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: know the line? I could look it up. Hold on,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I will sorry, don means for you to actually do work.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Was the line something like let me lick those dimples
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: or I'm trying to think of some sort of dog.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Pun that could have been used.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Andrea Brooks tweeted, dying at the fact they kept my improved.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: She wrote improved.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Line about baby Marcus Rosner's very pronounced dimples, and she
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: says at HHDTV, which Heather Hawthorne Doyle's Twitter handle, how.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Did you put up with us?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And HHD responds, here's my rule.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: When the ad lib makes a smile or laugh, it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: days but we don't know the line very pronounced dimples.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: That's what she's said. That's funny.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just a reporter, y okay, all right?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Alright then, And like I mentioned before, I really liked
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the dog. I also liked Sam I thought, I said,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: as much as I'm loath to admit it, Sam was
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: pretty great, very and obviously very well trained dog, Like
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you could tell by the way like he sat at
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the feet and kind of like backed up and wait,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I do not own a well trained dog,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: so I'm good at spotting when they are well I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: think like movie dogs are probably like very well trained.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I had noticed like at times the dog was like
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: looking off you, beyond the direction. I was really into
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: what the dog was doing. The only other thing I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: liked was Lucy Guest, who plays Kevin's sister.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I don't remember her name.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know why, because she's not listed in
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the IMDb credits of this movie. So Kevin's sister. I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: so sorry. I don't remember anyone's name from this movie.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Had to look them all up, but I thought you
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: were a delight lucy guest. Somebody's assistant needs to get
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: on the IMDb and get that filled out. Yeah, okay,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: so what did we wish for? Well? I got one
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and only one. Okay, I wished for script editing ranks.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Give it to me.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: This movie is so beyond contrived. Okay, you met this
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: dude for five minutes and you're making up an entirely
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: separate life that he'll fit into. Are you talking about
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Kevin the trainer or the other dude that worked at
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the groceries?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: The other dude that works at the grocery store. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: she has decided that he checks some box.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: So she's like, oh, let me make myself a completely
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: different person so that I can match up to this
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: person who meets some criteria for me. Now, maybe this
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is the old married lady speaking, but that sounds exhausting.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who wants to do that?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Find someone that actually really fits into your life.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And it was so clear that those two co workers
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: already had it for each other, and she's just like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: try to wed your way in there. M M. Talking
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: about her fa them Barkie. She was Sparky blockin Sparky
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: blockin Yeah So I found Andrea Brooks her character unlikable
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: in this movie. It was the hardcore list making at
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the very beginning, which I thought that you might really
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: like because you're a list maker. But she was like,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: get job check, become product manager check. I was just
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: like what and then and then get a partner, like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: when she had all these like personal professional goals and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: then like one for her love life.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love a list.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I don't deny it, but I like an actionable list
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of things that I can achieve, and those kind of
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: big picture lists, like it's almost like a what do
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we call those? Not a mood board, vision board. That's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: really not for me. I'm not woo woo in that way.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: M hmm. And like the check I've never understood I've
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: only ever seen it in movies, but the checklist, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: actual checklist of what you want in a partner never no,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you're working backwards. You need to have chemistry with a person,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you need to enjoy their company, and then you kind
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of do the pragmatic like do we actually fit into
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: each other's lives thing? I mean and I think that's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: what eventually happened with Kevin the trainer. Yes, she didn't,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: she wasn't like looking for it with him. So therefore,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you know, except for like the gluten free and you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: those things fit into her life or whatever. But right,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: so to your point about Andrea Brooks character Kira being
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a little insufferable in this movie, one of our lovely
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Facebook group members Michael. Look. We shout out Michael every
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: week because Michael brings it every week.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Guys, every week, It's one of my favorites.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He has several comments, but he says, apparently there is
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: now a Cindy Busby character type identified in casting. Andrea
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Brooks is full Busby in every scene. Full Busby had
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: me on the floor Saturday night when I was well,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I was on my couch, but I thought it was
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: so funny. We're gonna give a full Busby award now
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: for every movie I forget Wowie Zowie, well I I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: wish for I thought this movie was such a stinker.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I thought the story was such a stinker, Like it
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: was all over the place in terms of what like
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Kira wanted. And when the movie started, I was like, wait,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this is about dog training, because I thought it was
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: about like she was working hard for the money, getting
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a job, you know, and then this whole dog training
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: storyline came through and I just was like, it's just
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: not entertaining. She has on her list develop a product
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: but has no idea, just like sometime down the line,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I like to develop some sort of product, but I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: don't have any particular passion for anything, right, Like, it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: not like I'm going to bake something or I'm going
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to develop something gluten free or it's none of that. Right.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: She fell into making dog biscuits, which great, fine, but
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: because the dog didn't like the one that she was
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: shelling at the store, she made a big, big like
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: she was in the poster of the brand. How does
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that work? Actually? How does the what is her job
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: there at the grocery store?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: She's like the buyer or merchandiser.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Merchandiser or whatever. You don't end up in the product promotional. No,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: they should have paid her for that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: She should have been compensated for that.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: She did not understand at all. It was so weird,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: but she like fell into like, oh, here's my product
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make. I'm going to make these dog biscuits.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It's okay, okay, And it wasn't even her idea, it
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: was Kevin's idea. Now, maybe you should make these biscuits
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: for dogs because your dog likes them. Also disclaimer, uh,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: gluten free as a diet is not recommended for dogs
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: as like a blanket recommendation. It can actually be quite
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: damaging to their So, so look at you.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: So unless your dog.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Because gluten free has become a buzzword. There was actually
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a big article about that's being like, we're seeing dogs
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: with cardiac problems because they've been fed these gluten free
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: diets because their owners are like, gluten free is better
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: for my dog. Not all gluten is bad unless your
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: dog specifically needs a gluten free diet. Yeah, don't make
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that decision without the help of your vet. That's not
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to say that a gluten free treat is a problem
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: if they're getting in in other parts of their diet,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: but just something.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: You should be aware of. Let's let's put that out there.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, Doctor Meghan, I have a few Did you see that?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: This one's kind of random. Do you think Andrea Brooks
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: looks like former American idol can winner Mattie Poppy, Oh.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you a picture. She looks just like her.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Did you see when Matti Poppy came back this season?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: She doesn't really look like that. She doesn't look like
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: that anymore.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: No, but they get that cute round face, cute cheeks.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, same teeth and mouth too. I'm gonna
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: drop a picture in our show notes. I think this
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: is like her doppelganger, like out in the world. And
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: while I was watching the movie, I was like, that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: looks like the chick from American idol Mattie Poppy.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good eye, all.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Right, So Nova slash Sam in the movie, she is
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a Australian Shepherd border Calli mix.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I think she's she looks like a border calling to me.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: But my question is what kind of.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Rescue lets someone adopt an Australian Shepherd border Calli mix
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: without some sort of education, because these are working dogs.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: This dog is, yeah, it's gonna tear up your house
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: if they don't have sort of enrichment and exercise and
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: probably containment.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: And as soon as.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, she was a beautiful dog, but those are
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: working dogs. They got stuff to do. So I would
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: think the rescue would know that, And why wouldn't they say, like,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this dog is very high energy, maybe we steer you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: towards a beagle. People. Well, I think that's what rescues do,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: don't they Like, isn't there like a vetting process, Like
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: they're not just gonna give like a high energy dog
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to someone who is not.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Home all day.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Right, That's been my experience. I own two vshless who
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: are working dogs, who are high energy dogs, and while
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they are not rescues, I do follow visa rescues who
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: have strict rules, yes, about placing dogs and homes where
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: they're not home. Yes. Yeah, he did ask like how
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: long will a dog be home alone? She's like, I'll
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: come home at lunch to walk it now, which is
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: not enough. Yeah, Okay, Sam's creat we talked about Heather
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Hawthorne Doyle per Her. Twitter wanted a unique crate, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the production designer Onset built that crate for Sam. I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: thought it was super cute, very cute. If you got
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to have a dog crate in your house, get that one.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I now I have an ugly metal one.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: She had her little nose sticking out of it at
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: one point she was just like peeking out. Was very cute.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think that was enough room though for that dog.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: No, but I don't think she was actually in there
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: for very long.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I know. I just think it gives unrealistic. Yes, the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: dog makes room to move, especially an adult dog. Yes, yes, yes,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: but real cute. I believe this to be the same
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: filming location as warming up to you.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: The cabins are identical.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I looked.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: There's no information about where those cabins are, which is
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: odd to me. Me too, it's so cute, like I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: want to go stay there right, I would think they
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: would want to be driving people there. There is a
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: scene when Kira takes Sam for a walk. She's with Kevin,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and Kevin's like great handling the dog like no problem,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and then Kira goes to like walk the dog and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the dog bolts, and I was like, that's highly relatable
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for me, is it? My dog is such yet terrible
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: on leash, so like yes, I was like, yeah, my
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: dog pulls me like that, Like I felt her pain,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you know, even though I was somebody. Oscaren was like nova,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: you know with treats turkey leg and so there is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you know where this is going a TikToker I follow,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: who is like a full time influencer. But she was like,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to sign up to walk dogs
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and then she's donating all the proceeds from being a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: wag dog walker to a dog rescue, and it's become like,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a source of content. But she's like
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: when I walk dogs all day long and she's like
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a small person, Like she's, you know, a slim, young girl.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And she walked this dog who I guess like took
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: off and like dragged her down the street and she
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: was just like covered in blood. She's like, well, I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: guess them's the breaks, like covered in blood.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Like her leg was like ripped up.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. People were like it's giving emergency room, like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness. But it's actually quite enjoyable content because
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: she like goes and walks all these dogs. But uh
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: yeah that dog. So she like talks to her phone
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and like you know, is making video while she's walking
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the dog part of it, yeah, and like sets it
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: up while she's like meeting the dogs. That's the phone up.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's cute. I'd watch that content, yeah, even though I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: have my own dog, and I don't like to walk
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: my dog, Oh totally. I would much rather watch someone
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: else meet these dogs and walk them. How much money
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: she makes from that? I know you say that she
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: is donating whatever, but.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: It's not a lot. She showed it one time, she
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: like showed her dashboard.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I mean it's not The fee is pretty hefty for
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a dog walk. I have used it in the past. Well,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I think WAG takes a pretty hefty chunk of your proceeds,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: so I think you would have to be pretty full
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: time for you to be making a good amount of money.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Just imaginet the like miles you're logging right.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Part of me is like, should I sign up to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be a WAG dog walker with my own dog sitting
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: right here? I know, I know, but she has to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: go into these people's homes and get the dog.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: That makes me nervous.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: That makes me super in nervous too. Whenever I used WAG,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I was always home and just turned over the answer yes.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: And then you know, you can like watch them on
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: your phone to see like where they're at, updated, if
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: your dog has gone number two and whatever. It's a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: lot of details and they usually send you a picture
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to you, but it's pretty expensive.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It's like sixty bucks.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I think, oh, she's not making that hers, or like
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: twelve dollars, seventeen dollars. That's like an hour because I
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: think you walk them for like sixty minutes or whatever.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Goodness, that's expensive.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: These are things to keep in mind if you want
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a dog, because they're gonna need to walk, and if
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you're not home during the day, you're gonna be wagging it,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: wagging it for sure. Did you notice that Kia wore
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the same suit over and over in this movie. It
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: was kind of like a pink well, oh yeah, like
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: at first it was like just the pants on the top,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and then like the jacket came in a little bit later,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and then the top would be changed and then yeah,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: O hey, I don't I actually don't hate that because
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I know, but you just don't see.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: It that often. No, I didn't love her.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Lanyard well, I think that was just a part of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: like the employee, and even director Heather Hawthorne Doyle said
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: that wardrobe had to work around lanyard friendly clothing options
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: so that it was like, you know, so it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Worked with the outfit.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, hey, do you remember the scene where they're driving
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and Sam's hanging sat out of the window. No, but
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it was shot with a growbro Oh really, Oh that's funny.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: They put it on the dog. No, on the car
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: shooting back at the dog. So he's like happy out
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the window, wind blowing in his Oh. I see. That
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: always makes me nervous. And this is this is not
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a dog podcast. But when I see dogs heads hanging
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: out the window like that, that's such a like a oh,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it terrifies me. Accident waiting now, I agree. Or people
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: are driving and their windows all the way down and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the dog is like pause up on the window. I'm like,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: how do you know your dog's not gonna leap out
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that window?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I know, people, this.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Is my oh hi squirrel. This is my biggest complaint
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: about dog owners is that they have entirely too much
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: trust in their animals to not do something just because
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: they've never done it before. They're like, be off leash
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and they're like they don't run until a rabbit runs
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in front of them, or they don't jump until something
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they really want is I would never if my dog
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: was on the front seat like that, not leave the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: window down. No, And it makes it. Now, I am
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: guilty of having my dog in the front seat, and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I always think about, oh my god, what if I
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: gotten a car accident and the airbags went off and the.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Dog would probably be dead.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get a dog seatbelt so you can clip them
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: into place. We had a tiny, little puppy basket that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: he would clip into, but he's too big for it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Now that dog's too big for a puppy basket. She's
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: got like a tiny which is he weigh ten pounds?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, he's like a cat. Come on, that's
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: a great dog. I love your dog. My final note is.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: KK nine is a terrible name, the worst K nine
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: treats or whatever. She I mean, real basic, but like
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: she's like, hey, you're Kevin, I'm Kira. We'll call it
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: KK nine.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It was just so.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Dumb, very dumb, Like yum yum treats would have been better.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Give me some yum.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: GF treats.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know something happy tummy treats because they're gluten
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: freeze exactly.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: KK nine sounds like KKW, like KKW beauty. It's when
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: it's only funny to you, right, it doesn't you got Yeah, No,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: KK nine boo. Yeah, I watched enough Shark Tank to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: know that that name is Yeah, mister Wonderful will be
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: like this product name sucks, and for that reason, I'm out.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the rebrand will be too expensive.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Let's talk ratings. You know, the past couple movies have
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: been so offensive that I've had to rate them that way.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: This is like a one and a.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Half star for me. I gave it one star, just
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: oooh so floring. It was just not good. It wasn't good,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm kind of mad about it because because I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to waste my time. Yeah, I hear, you
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: don't waste your time on this one. Yeah, skip this one.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Totally go back and watch Love Classified if you haven't
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: watched it this year. That would be my number one
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: recommendation for this year. I agree. We are making an
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: executive decision to skip Rip in Time, not because we
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: don't want to watch it. It's it's it's a life
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: time constraint on our end life. But next week we
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: will be back with a preview of Summer Nights movies,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: which begin on Saturday, June fourth. We will give you
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: all of our thoughts on the movies that are coming
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: up and honestly, it has to get better. Did you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: see the previous did you see the previews.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: For The Lost Ring?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I know?
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Is that a Johnson production?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Oh? I know. I felt like a jerk, but I
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: was like, that's not nice, but doesn't.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Work as I like the sentiment.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Is that Johnson production to do a deep dive? I
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. Also, guess what, we're probably gonna have some link,
