• 2:39
  Speaker 2: or any of what Hallmark is offering right now, we

  Speaker 2: encourage you to email us your thoughts at Girls Gone
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Hallmark at gmail dot com, or you can leave us
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a voicemail at nine four nine three two nine eight.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Zero nine zero. Nobody's going to answer.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Just call, share your thoughts and then we'll play that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: on an episode.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: That's right, we will. You did mention a little bit
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of news and notes regarding Friendly. So Friendly is a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: streaming app that many people use to watch Hallmark and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of ways to watch Hallmark Friendly.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: We actually, you and I, between the two of us,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: have quite a few ways to watch Hallmark. You have cable.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I have YouTube TV, which is basically streaming cable. We
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: both have Friendly. We both have Hallmark Plus. I like Friendly.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's a really budget friendly option and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it kind of gives you the best of both worlds.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You can watch live, it has a DVR. My favorite
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thing about Friendly is that you can scroll back three
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: days in the guide. By the way, this is not
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: an ad for Friendly. No, but we would be more
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: than happy to partner with them if they wanted to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: reach out to Girls Gone Hallmark at gmail dot com.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Girls Gone Hallmark brought to you by Friendly this holiday season?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Come true? It doesn't it sound good? We also can
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be bought if you would like. A Girl's Gone Hallmark
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Hallmark Plus. We use them all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and genuinely there's different things we like about all of them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But you can go back in that Friendly guide and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: hit record on anything you might have missed, which is great.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: This is not an ad for Friendly, though. We're here
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to say is Hallmark has started talking about the fact
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that they are in the middle of negotiations and Hallmark
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: maybe leaving the app. You've seen this happen before, right,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Like you're watching network television and it's like Spectrum is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: no longer going to carry CBS. You're at risk of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: losing your favorite shows, and then they always seem to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: strike a deal. Something always works out. So I'm not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: sure if that's going to happen. Interestingly enough, if you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: do click the link that Hallmark shares with this information,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: there is of course a heavy promo for Hallmark Plus
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: on that link, which makes sense, which got me thinking,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what's the best move for Hallmark here?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I think Hallmark is one of the biggest draws on Friendly, probably,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I imagine. So they have a lot of channels there,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Lifetimes there, the channel, the channel not be named there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of channels. Now they've beefed up
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: their programming, but I do think Hallmark is one of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the biggest draws, so I think it would be beneficial
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to Friendly to make the deal ill Friendly was recently
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: acquired by Roku. But then I'm like, well, if it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: goes away, is that good for homework because then it
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: drives more people to Homewark plus Or is it not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the best time for that to be happening, because you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: don't want to lose your viewers in the middle of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the season, and many of them may not make that jump.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Many of them are gonna say, I'm I'm sorry, I'm
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: not going to do another streamer. I'm curious. I'm curious
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to see what can happen. I'm curious to see what
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: will happen. But if you've seen that on your Friendly streaming,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that's the deal as we know it as of right
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: this minute.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: That could be old news by tomorrow when this episode
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: comes out.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Who knows. Speaking of news, let's hear a synopsis for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: A weather man, reunites with his high school crush well
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: on vacation in his hometown. Like. I didn't write this,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I pulled this from IMDb. The man was not on vacation.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: A he went home.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: For the holidays to help his sister on a fun true.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Very true. He was working, he was not on vacation.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: True anyway. Russell hayn Line is credited with the teleplay.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Russell has seven writing credits and has written some of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Hollmark's recent hits like The Santa Clas, Three Wiser Men
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and a Boy and The Santa Summit. The movie is
• 6:18

  Speaker 1: I have seen the first one. I'm not sure if
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I've seen the second.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like I need to go on a little
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: bit of a Robert Buckley deep dive.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah you think, I think you should think. The Christmas Contract,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I believe is a Robert Buckley favorite. And I have
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: heard that it is dreaming on Netflix. Oh really, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: don't even know if it's a home and we've just
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of people talk about it recently. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: saw some Instagram shares about it this morning, so I
• 7:05

• 7:48

  Speaker 1: We are going to take a quick break and we're
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: going to come right back with our first impressions. Hey, Wendy,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: what was your first impression of Merry Christmas Ted Cooper?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a spoiler? Five stars before Halloween.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't have that on my bingo card, but wow,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Hallmark came swinging' this year.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: We have similar themes to our first impressions of mine. Look,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I had so many. I don't know about you. When
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you take notes and you watch these movies, do you
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: think like, oh, that's a great first impression. Oh that's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a great I could have said so many things because
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: there were so many notable things about this movie, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I simply went with freakin' Russell Hainline does it again.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: He's too good. He's too good. When we say he
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: only has seven writing credits, and believe me, seven writing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: He's written seven movies. That's a lot. I've written zero movies.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: But he's so good, and they're all so good. This
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: movie brought me so much joy. Does he not get
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: enough credit? I think he's getting the credit, but I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: think I think it's special that this is year four
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: with Russell Hainline movies in the lineup, and they all hit,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: They all hit, they all do. We're not like ol
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Flone was a stinger on. It hasn't happened yet. No,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: not yet. Let's talk what we liked. The list is long.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Buckle up, y'all.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I want to kick off the likes section with a
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: comment from our Facebook community. Yeah, it comes from listener
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Steven and he wrote in Facebook, this may not be
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: only the best movie of the Christmas season, but maybe
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the best movie of the year. Russell Hanlin wrote this
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: movie and there are many similar vibes to the Santa Summit.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: He has a very individual, unique style.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So let's start with the first part of that. When
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I was watching this, I was like, oh my gosh,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this is a runaway hit. I watched this twice and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I was so excited to get to watch it again,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm gonna watch this multiple times
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this season. I rarely think that, simply because we have
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: so much holiday content to get through with this. It's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: not like I didn't like that movie enough to watch
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it again. It's like, I'm probably not going to make
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the time I am going to read this. I agree
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: could be the best movie of the use. That's a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: big statement. It is. As recording October twenty seventh, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: know it could be the it really. I mean, it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: gonna be hard to beat it haul out the Halloween,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: huge runaway hit.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: In my mind, this like out of the Park, Grand
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Slam on World Series Weekend time.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: By the way, wend Yes, I was smiling as I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: was watching this. We love some calm in our rom
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and Russell brings the calm. Yeah, but you know also
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: brings the calm. Robert Buckley. Robert Buckley is this whole cast,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: This whole cast. The pairing of Robert Buckley with Brendan
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Penny is so good. It's so good. Brendan Penny is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the arrogant newscaster. His final line, he goes, I'm gonna
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: have to sell my boat. I laughed out loud. I've
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: seen three times. I laughed out loud every single time.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I made you rewatch it this morning. Yeah, I was like, my.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Favorite line here, we have to watch it again, Like okay, yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I love their sparring at the top of this movie
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: where they're like on the news, and then when there's
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: scene ends and he makes a comment about Ken's hair
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: not being his own, I just was like, wow, we
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: went there.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Your hair looks so good you almost can't even tell
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it's fake. And he just keeps walking out and Brendan's.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Like, what the cut? Deep is so good. It was
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the perfect amount of it. It wasn't just a cameo.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: It carried it through from beginning to end. It's so good.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: They're like brotherly energy, like just kind of mean enough
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to each other. Yeah, exactly exactly. I want to talk though.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I really when I think of Robert Buckley, not Junior,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: he doesn't come I wouldn't initially like immediately be like,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: oh he's a funny guy, right, But I feel he's
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: got some comedy chops about him. He is so good
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: in this movie. The delivery, the timing, the self deprecating
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: humor in this it was all pitch perfect to me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: There is an effortless charm that is there that reminds
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: me every time I watch him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I go, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's one of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: hallmarks funny guys. We just need more of it. We
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: need more.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk a little bit later about it,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: but we just need more of that energy I do
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: in my life.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Me too. Ruth Mittens, Yeah, Ruth Mittens, mis Mittens. She
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: might be my favorite homeworks I kick of the season.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: We're three movies in she says you can call me Ruth. Actually,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you can call me anytime you like. And then when
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he says, like easy, there're Mittens. It made me laugh
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: every single freaking time. I'm hurt ted, I'm not blind.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: She's so good. And then the addition of the Lackawanna Walkers,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Soul Sisters a gift, like they take him shopping.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, they had me to the group chat.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, can I tell you a funny story?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I laughed out loud when I saw this, this walking
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: group of mature ladies and their soul sister.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Is that what they're called soul sisters? Yes?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Recently say a similar walking group in my neighborhood, who
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: were also wearing matches show their name is street Walkers
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: love three walkers on their shirts.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I want to join their group. I know, I really,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I would like my own matching track suit.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Look, I thought all that stuff was so funny, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: well executed. When they show up to the Christmas party
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and they're dressed like mean girls from the christ.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught that. I don't think
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: They're dressed up like the four who do the mean
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: girls like Santa dance.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Santa dance. Yeah, I didn't notice. I didn't notice. Look,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: there may be Soul Sister's merch coming to a girl's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: gone Hallmark shop. I love it, so let's do it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite things about this, and you touch
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: on it briefly, but I loved how they cut back
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to the new station, like this running gag throughout the
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: entire movie of everybody keeping tabs on Ted's accidents and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: like where they were on their like bedding. I thought
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: that was so funny. I thought it was so clever.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It just added a lot of layers to why we
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: would care about Ted's accidents. It wasn't just like, oh,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Ted's accident prone and that's just like an overarch, Like
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: everybody was invested in it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I loved it, loved it, loved it. Yeah, they landed
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the plane on that bit one hundred percent. The representation
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: in this movie did not go unnoticed, and it's done
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in a way that I would like to see it
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: done in every movie. We have a wheelchair user as
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: one of Hope's besties, we have patient communicating via There's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of racial diversity in the movie. This
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: makes the stories richer and they are incidental to the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: story Hopes. Besty could have been anybody, and the fact
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that she just happens to be a woman who uses
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair, it's not part of the narrative, no at all.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: That's what that's how it should exist. It's not like
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: this is a movie about a person who uses a
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: mobility a It's like, this is Hope's bestie who happens
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: to get around differently than you do. Yeah, the end,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I just it's good. It's good, super appreciate it. Can
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I talk about my favorite emotional moment? Yes, I cried
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: in this movie. I cried. I cried. Do you cry
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: when Ted asks her out via ASL? No?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I did not, But I did love that scene though
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: with he asked around.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Via I got very and she signs back your cue.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Such a touching moment they look talking about landing the plane.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: There are multiple hallbacks that are so good. It wasn't
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, there's this patient that uses ASL. It's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Ted learns that Hope knows ASL because her father was deaf,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and then he shows up and has this really meaningful
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: moment it asks out, Yeah, it was good. It was good.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Here's the scene where I cried. They go to the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: bar where they're gonna get the burgers.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Right, It's like they come in. He goes, let me
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: go get let me go get us some beers, which
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I loved because if you don't follow Russell on Instagram,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you're missing out. But he likes a good beer, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I wonder if this is somehow
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: connected here. Anyway, he goes, let me go get some
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Christmas ale and he goes to the bar and she
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: goes and sits down, and he turns around and looks
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: at her from across the room, and the music swells,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and oh my god, I get choked up.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Me too. I was like, wait, what is looked at
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: each so good? It's it's it gives the we like
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: each other. Something's happening here. It was they just and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: she kind of looks away. Oh my gosh, I have chills.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I also thought I thought it was a real nice
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: pairing of sweet and humor. When Hope's trying to open
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: up about losing her dad, as Ted's face is rapidly
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: swelling and his throat is closing due to his allergic reactions,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and it is the perfect exemplification of him not wanting
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to inconvenience people. There's a lot of good things in
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the relationship between Hope and Ted that I liked, a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: lot of things. We don't see a lot. We have
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the misunderstanding. And as Hope realizes that they've had a misunderstanding,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: she races to his house and confronts him about it
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and is like, this is what I thought, and this
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: is what I heard, and these are why I thought this.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I love that, but even more in that moment, she
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: says to him, advocating for yourself isn't an imposition? Needle
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: point that on a pillow. Yeah, it was great. It's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a great line because I am not like Ted and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that I am a bright sider. I'm very much not
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a bright sider, but I am like Ted in that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: It is one of my biggest nightmares to think that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I am imposing on somebody. Yeah, and I will almost
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: every time choose a path that might potentially make my
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: life harder if there's a chance that makes someone else's
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: life easier. Right, And I needed to hear advocating for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: yourself as in an imposition. I liked that line.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I really That scene was incredible. It was incredible. We
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: watched it back this morning too. When she tells Ted
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: that he's surface, I my heart broke in that moment.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was so good. And he's just quiet. Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: We haven't talked about the brother Sister dynamic. No shout
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: out Megan heffern She's great in this. I really like
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: her in a lot of other roles too, like she's.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: In the We just talked about it. I can't remember
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: gone but not forgotten. Guys, this is a mystery lane.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh my God.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I enjoy her quite a bit. I thought they
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: were great in this. It's part teasing, part love like
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: it nails adults at Christmas time. I you know, adult
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: siblings at Christmas time.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I loved all the poking and teasing, loved all of that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I loved several moments in terms of writing the whole
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: classic misunderstanding, where like Miss Mittens was like, oh, this
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: is a classic misunderstanding.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It's felt very.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Meta, like this is like, okay, Hallmark fans, we see you,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: like we know that the Hallmark movies have been built
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: on classic misunderstandings.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I thought it was great.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: There was also a personal fave. There's a Liam nian
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: line in this movie from one of my favorite Liam
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Nison movies called Taken, and it comes from Bestie Sidney
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: where she was talking.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: About how she has skills.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: She says, and this is a very famous leam Nison quote,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I have a very particular set of skills and like
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: it goes dot dot dot. I know you've heard me
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: reference more than once good luck. Do you know what
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about? No, I think I'd say at home
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: a lot. But it's this conversation in this liambay movie.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: The movie, it's one of my favorites. It's one of
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: my favorite It's terrifying.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: It is terrifying. That's why I could only watch it
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the one time. But Liam Neeson is fantastic.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: He kicks ass in this movie. And this is where
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: he comes.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: He's light.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: The guy on the other end of the phone is
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: like threatening him, and then Liam Neeson goes into this
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: whole thing.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Like I have a very particular set of skills, basically.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Like I'm going to come and get you. And then
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the guy goes good luck. And so I always say
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: good luck to like a lot of people anyway, maybe.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Not to you. Anyway. I loved it. I loved it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I love the Taylor swift eras tor mentions in that
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I love a pop cultural reference. Thank you to Russell Hanline.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: So I was prepping my notes and I posted on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: one of the many social media so it's Blue Sky.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I think. I was like, I'm trying to come up
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: with a list of lines that made me laugh out loud,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and my list is so long. I said, Russell, how
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: about you just send us a script. We'll do a
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: live read on Girls Coming.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, because my list was so long, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I just need to share some memorable lines.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Well please, women cannot handle the hustle and grind of datium.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Meteorologist Ted calling his burger Mayo forward, Yes, yes, Ted,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and Hope. She's telling him five things about herself and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: she's like, like romance novels and I like ramen.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And he's like, what kind of spice level? And she's like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you know pg thirteen? He goes, I meant the ramen,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: not the books.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Great, not a line, but simply Kate. At the holiday
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: party when Hope shows up and she walks into the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: background head to toe buddy the Elf, I laughed out loud.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: The Mark Harmon even smelled handsome. Oh my god, Mark
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Harmon loved it. I also love the escape room. Oh yeah,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that was fun. Have you done an escape room? I have?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: First of all, I loved Brendan because one of my
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: least for parts about the escape room is when the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: escape room employee has to get into character and be
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: like an art heist has occurred and you need to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: find the culprit before it locks you in the room.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Are you embarrassed for them a little bit? Okay? Mostly
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: because I'm no fun hm. So when Brennan was like,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you are Sanna's else, it just made me laugh. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: thought it was a great take on escape rooms. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: also thought the escape room itself, production wise well done. Yeah,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: when the bear sinks into the box, I was like, hey,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: look at that. They spent a little money in this space.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a fun idea. I thought it
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: was well executed. I agree, well, let've talk wishes. I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: have just one y.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It's not even, it's not even. It's about commentary. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: read about the movie. Oh okay. I don't remember where
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I saw it at, but somebody commented that they thought
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Ted's bright siding would also be annoying.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Oh. I saw that on our Instagram and I just
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: feel for me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Personally, life right now is dark. It's hard, it's sad,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: it's rough for a lot of people, and I think
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: it's refreshing to have somebody who is joyful and who
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: can bright side. I need more Ted Cooper.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I need more Ted Cooper too. I was thinking about
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: their misunderstanding and I thought, how nice to have someone
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: who when Hope shows up to clear up the misunderstanding,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, that's what happens, and She's like, don't
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you have more to say about that? He's like, well,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it's over, like you're here, like we're good. Yeah, why
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: would I dwell on? Okay, you ran away and you hid,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: but now we've worked through that, Like why are we
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: gonna okay, let's be happy about it?
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I know, I feel like because I think we're so
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: accustomed to like and then that leads to a fight
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and like a bigger or a bigger misunderstanding. And I
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: just was like, okay, yeah, what's a surface, But it's okay.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that's okay. Y. Yes, I did think she was
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: right to push back on you should advocate for yourself more.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: But that is really my only wish because I do
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: think Hope maybe is a little bit too frustrated that
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: he's not willing to get up. And I think those
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: are two different things. Like I wanted Ted to advocate
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: for himself. Pick the job that you want, not because
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: some person gave you a job at one time. I
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: wanted that for him too, But I really feel like
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: she pushes a little bit too hard into wanting him
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to be like, well, let's fight about this, so let's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: get mad about this. And I really love Sydney's Oh no,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a handsome, gainfully employed man in a good mood. I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: loved that. Yeah, to kind of bring her back to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: where she made it to be. Also, I want to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: say this is not a knock against the script at all,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: but the limo scene packed with people blaring music when
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: you get in.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is an absolute nightmare. And my
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: husband's like, wow, just a party of mi in and
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: over there.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And I was like, hashtag no fun. It's well known.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't want to get in. I love this.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Ted's like, yeah, crank it up right Like that wouldn't
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: be me. I'd be like, oh my god, Christmas music.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Stop right. If you order an uber and it shows
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: up with six people blaring music, I cancel it right there,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: like duck and roll. Don't even stop. Just slow down
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't know who you're looking to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: pick up. That's not me. Let's talk. Did you see that? Okay?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I have a few. Okay.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: My first one is Ted's parking job. Oh, when he
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: locks his keys and his phone in his car. There's
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: an overhead shot and Ted's car is parked in between
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: two parking spaces.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's straddling the line. Yeah. Oh, Ted, I was like,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that's so funny that that's like where there's no other
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: cars in the lot, he is in between like two
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: parking stalls. I wonder if there was some filming logistical
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: reasons of that. Perhaps When Ted and Hope go on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: their first pub date pre date, Ted had been shopping
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: with the ladies with the Soul sisters and they're like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, in a coffee shop or a restaurant together,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and Hope walks in. Ted is still in his pinks,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: which we haven't even talked about the wardrobe. Ted's commitment
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: such a great bit that he's wearing the clothes. And
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: also one of my comments was like, how does he
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: look good in a sorority sweatshirt and his own jacket,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Like he look good in that outfit.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's still in that sorority sweatshirt.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: In the moment when Hope comes in, they leave, they
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: they leave the ladies, they walk, He's like, I need
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to drop this stuff off of my car. Commercial break,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: next scene they're in the pub, he's in like a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: nice cablenit sweater. Oh. And then as we were watching,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, when did he change and I had
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to rewind. There's when did he change? Maybe in the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: car he just rips off that sweatshirt and he's like,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I it look good for Hope.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: We missed a shirtless Yeah, Robert, we did we get
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: a shirtless street change?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah? The scene that got cut and he's like, maybe
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I should get out of the sorority somebody way in.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Is that on the cutting room floor? Our email is
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: girls Gone homework at gmail dot com. Question for you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: when he grabs the wrong suitcase where you're like, uh oh,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: here we're going with this? Yeah, And it was so
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: perfectly execute because he's like, I'm just gonna wear this
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: crop sweater. Yeah, so good. Loved it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: One of the scenes we didn't talk about is just
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: here the ring camera footage of a camp practicing his
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: phone calls to Hope and the sister watching it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Chef's kiss Perfection. Can I tell you one of the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: most embarrassing moments of my life. When I was in college,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: we had a like an we could send robocalls basically
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: like if you were like in an organization you need
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, folks, we have a meeting whatever,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Like you could send it straight to voicemail, and I
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: was the director of an organization and would send them
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: regularly to my committee and I would re record them,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and one time it wasn't erasing the re record, so
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I sent probably a seven minute message that goes, hey special,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Hey special, Hey special, games commit like I have not
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: forgotten it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: If the nineteen ninety nine Special Gang Committee is out
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: there and you remember the robo call that wouldn't quit,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: that's me.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Oh audio editing is your brand? Oh my godness. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the worst part is this is pre cell phone ubiquity.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of people I knew didn't even have
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: cell phones, and it wasn't something we used. So these
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: were going to their on campus telephones that you shared
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: with your roommates. Oh so we didn't even have like
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: our own voicemail. It would be like there was one
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: voicemail because you had one phone number, right, so the roommates.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I vividly remember one of the guy's roommates who happened
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: to be probably the most well known person on campus
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: because he was this tall, handsome volleyball player who then
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: went on to play in the Olympics twice. And I
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: heard that person's feedback on that message. Oh my god,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the humiliation thirty years later still lives. Oh my god,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that is so funny. So I definitely I thought I
• 31:10
