  Speaker 2: starring Lacy Shubert and Tyler Hines. This is a re
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: release of a Patreon episode that we released over a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: year ago. We decided, since Wendy's traveling this week and
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: we are not going to be reviewing either of this
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: weekend's newest movies, we didn't want to leave you hanging,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: so we pulled this one from the Patreon vault. We
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: also wanted to let you know that you'll hear us
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: reference Tyler Hines Month. That was a feature we were
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: doing on Patreon. We don't currently have a Girl's Gone
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Hallmark tier on Patreon, but we'd consider bringing one back
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: if there was a demand for it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Let us know. Enjoy this review of Winter and Veil.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Welcome to a bonus episode of Girls Gone Hallmark. I'm Megan,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm Wendy, and welcome to Tyler Hines Month. That means
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that every month we're gonna be choosing a new dude
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of Hallmark and diving into their back catalog with one
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of their previous Hallmark movies, and then something outside of
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the Hallmark world. You know, our first month had to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be Tyler Freakin Hines.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'd have to quit if it wasn't.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So we started with Winter and Veil, a movie that
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: neither of us thought we had seen. One of us
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: was wrong that stars Tyler Hines and Lacy Shabert, which
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: feels like a strong choice right out of the gate.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, so first of all, I want to talk
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: about how I don't know when I've watched this movie.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Upon rewatching it, I was like, oh, yeah, I've seen
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this movie. When would I have set down in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: year twenty twenty and watched this movie?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a twenty twenty movie, right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It came out on January fourth, twenty twenty, so it
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: was part of the Like, it wasn't called New Year
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: New Movies, it was called Winterfest. Yeah, and we were
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: not reviewing Hallmark movies at that time.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: No, not even close. The podcast didn't even exist at
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that point. So who knows. Maybe you came across a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: lasyshi Bearer movie on the guide and clicked play. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: no idea, nor perhaps you watched it may have replayed
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: last year when we were doing Hallmark movies and you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: just sat down and dug in.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And I might have just been like, oh, Tyler Hines
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: because he was in one of the very first movies
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that we watched on the twelve date of Christmas date
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of Christmas, and I was like, who is this hottie?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And then I might have like looked up other Tyler
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Heines movies. So maybe that's why I've seen it. So
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: let me give the synopsis for the listeners. Are you okay?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Chelsea inherits a house in Veil, She meets Owen and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: gets a much needed break together, they put on Strudelefest
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to highlight the charm of old Veil, starring Lacey Shabayer
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and Tyler Hines. You did it, I know.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So let's hop into some news and notes about this movie.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: The majority of the movie was filmed in Canada, specifically
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Calgary and Alberta, including the tubing scene and Uncle Grady's home,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: but there were a few establishing shots and street scenes
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: shot in Veil.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Veil? I have not? Okay,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: me neither, So I was wondering about this because I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: had also read that there were some the last two
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: days of filming were shot in Veil, but I've never
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: been to Veil. I don't know if there's like a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: new part of Veil and an old part of Veil. Like,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I have no idea how true to the story is at.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: In a minute, we're gonna fact check some of the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: winter in Veil.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, exciting, exciting. My note here says that the last
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: two days of filming were December fourth and December fifth
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, and this movie was released on January fourth,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Talk about a tight turnaround.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is not unusual. They started filming obviously in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: November twenty nineteen.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And whipped it out. Here's what I like. Well, Nope,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: not gonna do that. Let's nope.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: No, I have reasons why I like that particular type turnaround.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in a minute. The director wanted
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a skiing scene in the movie, but Lazy can't ski,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: so they went tubing instead.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, I have some thoughts on that scene. That's funny.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: That's funny that she can't. Well, he wanted them like
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a downhill skiing situation. Evidently that scene was you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Vail is known for its skiing, so they wanted them skiing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Either she can't ski or isn't a strong skier. Skiing
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is not the sort of thing you can pick up
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in a day. Snowboarding. I think you could fake it skiing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's hard, you're been skiing? Yeah, yeah, I was on
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: my ass the entire time. Yeah, I'm not a good skier.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So I could see how that they wouldn't have had
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: time to train her as a skier and then have
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: her be strong enough to be filmed.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Well, they trained her as a dancer and she danced
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in the Christmas Waltz, so you know enough. Maybe don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: discount Lacey and what she can and can't do fair enough.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The director of Maybe Wes Terry Ingram, and he just
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: recently directed The Wedding Veil, which stars Lisa. I have
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a note about the Wedding Veil. Oh okay.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: At three point three nine four million viewers, it had
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: more than any Hallmark movie in twenty twenty one get
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: out and it's only January eleventh, So Lacey is commanding
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: those views.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: She is the Queen of homework. I think Candice should
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: sit down. Has been dethroned. I think, so wow, that's amazing.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So I have an article from veil Ski excuse me,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: from Veilski shop dot com that is titled ask a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: local fact checking hallmarks movie Winter in a Veil.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So I've got some I've got some statements, and I
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: want you to tell me if they are true or false.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The opening scenes of the movie highlight aerial views of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Veil Village.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes, because they filmed there.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, the iconic covered bridge and Bell Tower are distinctly
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Veil Village. You cannot park on Main Street and Veil
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Village unless you are unloading your vehicle.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Am I supposed to say? True or false? Yes? Uh?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I don't Oh my gosh, I don't know. True. It's true.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Main Street is reserved for pedestrians and skiers only. Okay,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: so that's trucks there are for deliveries. Okay, so in
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the movie that's kind of a wink and a nod
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to actual Veil Village rules.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Then yes, ma'am. True or false.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: There is an Adlevis Mountaintop mountaintop restaurant in Veil.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say sure. False. Many incredible restaurants and stores
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in Veil.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: The Adelvis Mountaintop restaurant is not one of them, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the building of that restaurant is not located in town,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: so there's not like a big German influence in Veil.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: They do have an.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Annual Octoberfest celebration.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Oh so maybe I don't know. True or false. There
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is an annual Strudel Festival. God, I hope not false. False.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: However, there is an annual Octoberfest celebration, Okay, true or false.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Many of us have more than one job in town.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I would say yes, probably especially snow season and not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: snow season winter and summer. Yes, several people have a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: nine to five and then work in hospitality in the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: evenings or on weekends.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting, that's interesting. True or false. We have horse
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: drawn carriages for tourists in Veil Village.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I would probably say yes. False. It would be romantic
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but oh so messy. Scene of Lacy and Tyler having
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: an evening horse drawn carriage was not filmed in Vale Village.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: M true or false.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Vale has brightly colored gondola cars true false. The cars
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that were in the movie were not from Vail. The
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: oneson Veil or Silver that was filmed in Canada.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember those cars in that in the movie.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: They only see that when Lacy arrives to meet Tyler
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna ride up to.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The top to go to me. Oh oh yeah, yea, yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, to or false there's snow tubing at the top
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of Vale Mountain.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false. It is actually true.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: They have Adventure Ridge, but that's not where they filmed
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the tubing scene in this movie that was filmed in Canada.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I have one more little news and note. Okay, Uncle
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Grady's Chalet is actually a private home located in Bragg Creek.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And all I gotta say to that is, yikes. That
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: house was not attractive from the outside or the inside.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Oh I loved it from the outside.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, are you kidding me?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It was so maybe just the scenery gross. All right,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: let's let's talk first impressions. Okay, my first impression is
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: this maybe one of my favorite winter Hallmark movies.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Oh no, okay, here we go. No,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's not that bad. My first impression is Strudel is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the most unsexy topic ever. It looks so good. No,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and you know what I kept you know, in Hamilton,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the scene between Hamilton and Washington and he keeps calling
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: him son, and Hamilton goes, call me son one more time? Right,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: do you know what I'm talking about? Of course, all
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I could think about is say strudel one more time?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Like, not Hamilton, it looks so delicious, though, Oh no, no, no,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: The strudel was the worst part of it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Strudele. The word strudel if I it evokes feelings like
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: panties or must be or like stuff like that. Like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it for some reason really grosses me out. I'm so
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: sorry to hear that. Was there anything you liked about
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this movie? I did. I did not hate this movie.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I did like this movie. I loved Tyler and Lacey
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: together in this I just think they're great together on screen.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Now we're not reviewing Lacey because this is Tyler freaking
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Hein's month. I'm trying to compare. In contrast, I did
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: think that Tyler and Lacy had great chemistry, but I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think he had so much better chemistry with the girl
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in an Unexpected Christmas And I can't remember her name
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: right now, Beth Bethany Joy. Yes, like that was over
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the top. Fireworks. For me, this is like a nice
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: sweet like kind I have, like some chemistry. I just
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to like watch these other movies
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: when like you think the actor or the actress is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: so good in one film, and you're comparing it to another,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: don't you think of course? Okay, so I did like
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: them in this movie.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: One thing I liked is that this movie just has
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a classic love story progression. There's no manufactured problem in
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: their way. Even when they meet, there's a small hitch,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it's resolved. Their antagonism is resolved very quickly.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And even they have there is a problem of course
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: in the end stops them from immediately getting together, but
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that problem isn't a result of a miscommunication or not
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: talking about it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: They're very clear about what's happening.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And it's resolved.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And I enjoyed the lack of shenanigans.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's my biggest pet, pevious shenanigan. So this was
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: This was nice. However, I'll wait till get wished for it. No,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was kind of bored. The whole strudle
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: thing was way too much, way too long. I love
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the idea of like we're gonna throw this like you know, festival,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Like that's fun. But strudel would not bring all the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: boys to the playground, you know what I mean? Make
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it something else, like I don't know, Like can you okay,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: if your local town had a strudle fest, would you
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: would that be like something you guys would go to.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: We're not real festival people, but you know there's a
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: corn fest. There's there's lots of fat strawberry. I know
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: there's and do we go to them? No we don't,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: so I just attend.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I don't, but I don't totally buy that a annual
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: strudel competition is going to bring tourists to town. It
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: maybe if I'm already in town and there was you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it's like one of those things like the hotels, like, oh,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: there's this strudel fest happening down at the Idlevice restaurant.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Gotate some struds? You might go to it, but yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: might not.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, chili is like the least sexy
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: food ever, and I hear constantly about chili cookoffs that
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: people are attending.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So I were underestimating the masses. Neither would I.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: But there listen, if you are listening to this episode,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Please leave a message in Patreon or you can DM
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: us or email us and tell me if you would
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: ever attend a strudelefest. They're like, hey, also, you don't
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: all live fifteen minutes from Disneyland, so I know, well, what.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Does Disneyland have Strudel?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe I know. Your point is you might, right, I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: don't know. Let's find out on February fit. I live
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in a tourist destination where there are a number of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: things to do and not everybody does. Yeah, I know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: but in Veil, if you're going to Veil, you're there
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: for a skien like trip, right, That's why people go
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to Vail, Right, what else do they do there, like
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in the summertime? Do they do anything in the summertime?
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I think there's mountains Festival, Like, Oh, I don't know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: but there's probably like outdoor highing and fishing and that
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: sort of thing that seems to be the summer events
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of mountain towns.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I just strudle. You could still ride to the top of.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: The gondola in the summer and see the views. Anyway,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Wendy didn't like Strudell, but I loved the snow. We're
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in the middle of New Year New Movies, formerly called Winterfest,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and these movies are not wintery movies, which is okay
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: because last year we got hit over the head with winter.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But I did enjoy it was snowy. It was clearly cold.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: We've got Tyler's shoving his hands into his pockets as
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: opposed to pushing up his jacket sleeves. You can see
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: their breath. There is actual snow on the ground around them.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I loved it. Uh Okay.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't have to do tight shots with fake snow
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: around them because they were clearly in the snow.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: No, I know, and I can't appreciate that when we're
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: not watching a Christmas movie with fake snow that was
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: filmed in July. So yeah, there is like this like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: little sweet spot of yes, you're gonna get real weather,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you know. And I can appreciate that, appreciate that. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I really appreciated the snow tubing scene.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I thought it was so fun and natural and organic,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like they really did that. She was a little bit
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: freaking out, like and I if you watch the full scene,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: which I rewound it to watch it again, when they
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: get down to the bottom. Tyler like gets out of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: his like uh tube and like kind of eats it
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's really funny. I was like, I wonder,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that was a choice or if that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: was like really did he slip in the snow or
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: like what happened? It was funny.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: It's awkward to get out of a tube. I loved
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: that footage too. I totally would have been the same
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: screaming person going down the hill. You can't help it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: The actual tubing park in Canada where they were filming
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: wasn't open yet, so they improvised. But I just I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: thought it was very fun and natural and well shot,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and I liked that there were clo slips on their
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: face so it wasn't just like sending two random people.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Down a hill and yeah, footage behind them, I was wondered.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, was Lacey holding the camera like on
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that and then he was holding it on her like
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: an iPhone.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Shot where they got GoPros on their jacket on their
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: heads and yeah something.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: After that, they did a little fun little snowball fight
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: scene too, which I liked because again, real snow, not
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: like perfectly formed cotton snowballs that they picked off the ground. Yeah, huh.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I thought that was really cute. And there was another
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: scene and I was getting confused thinking that it was
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the same scene, but it's not. But they're like on
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: skis and they're like walking somewhere. Oh they're cross country skiing. Yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I mean it looks painful. Like I was like, oh,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that is so labor intensive. I would never want to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: do that. But she's like, I'm running, I'm gonna beat you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It was funny, and I thought like they must have
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: ad libed that part because it was cute and funny
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and quirky. There's no way that that was written.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: No, I can I thought they had lots of natural
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: chemistry together. Good acting, good acting, What did you wish for? Okay,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: this is one of those movies where Tyler Hines starts
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: out as an asshole and then he becomes the lovable guy.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was not very kind to her. Obviously
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he knew that she was not from the town. He
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: could have been a little more like, oh hey, not
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a condescending jerk, you know. Yeah. That bugged me at
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the beginning, so I didn't like that, But then I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: did like when he came to the house and was
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: very helpful with the repairs around the house, and they
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: were like funny about it. You know.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he kind of dropped that you're an outsider thing
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly. He apologized very shortly after that for his attitude,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: which I liked, and I liked that he was like,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: it's freezing in that house. You can't stay there. He
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't like, oh little city girl can't handle the mountains.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: He was like, it's not reasonable for someone to stay
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: in the house without electricity.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here's a question. This is what I was thinking.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: So she like just got the keys at the house
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that day, Right, they go out and they come home
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: after dark. Would you not be scared shitless to go
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: into this house after dark all by yourself, never stayed
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: there before? Yes, yeah, right, And it was like, yeah,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that's terrifying. But that they they pull up and like
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: all the lights are on inside the house, and I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, like that's not scary going into if
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: all the lights are on. But still I was like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I know, I think I might have stayed in a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: hotel or something like holding upstairs. Yeah, she was just
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: there and they left, you know, Yeah, she just grabs
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of blankets from that chest downstairs and piles
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: them on her. Bit. Yeah, and have you ever started
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: a fire on your own, like in an old fireplace
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like that? Like I wouldn't know what to do. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: don't even know like how to open yeah, right, I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: mean anyway, what I wished for was that they just
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: don't don't You don't have to always make the guy
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: like this antagonist, like he could be a normal guy.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: They could have a normal encounter. They don't have to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: have like a confrontational one. It just drives me crazy.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Well, and I don't have a lot of things that
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I wished for, But in that scene, I think it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: very out of character because every other person we meet
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: is so kind and so commedy. The realtors like, you
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: call me no matter what you need. I don't remember
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: anybody's name. But the owner of the restaurant is so
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: lovely to her when he meets her, and the waitress
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: is so lovely when they meet in the grocery store,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: and the townspeople are all wonderful to her. And so
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: we have this one guy who comes from this town
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: where everyone's so lovely, and he's kind of nasty to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the newcomer who okay, doesn't understand the parking rules, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: all you had to say was like, loops, you don't
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: want a ticket, might want to move your car. I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: did think that didn't jive with what we're supposed to
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: feel about this town that she then falls in love with, right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: h a goree.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Did you see that we have more wishes? Well? Yeah,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: one I wrote down less strudl like I've already established
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: it a like there was too much baking the strudel,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like rolling the dough like stop, so I get it,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I hated it and all what I was just gonna say,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: this is maybe a movie that could have benefited from
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: an additional plot line.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, agreed, It was too too much of it. There
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: was too much strutal content for me. I also hate
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: when our wish for like I don't like, don't make
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: this like be like the push and pull of like
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: she leaves her job. She clearly quits her job and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: moves to veil like don't have this, like oh did
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I do the right thing? I need to go back,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: like she can't do that work and veil just like
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: he said, Right, did he not say like, you can't
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you do event planning here?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like Veil, people are having weddings there, People are
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: having big events there. It is a destination. There are
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: definitely events to be planned there. Whether she's working for
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: the town or not. Will people go to Veil and
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: they need their events planned. Also, her boss kind of sucked,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: like she quit, she didn't want to do this, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: then what kind.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Of asshole are you that you call her and beg
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: her to come back because you made a bad hire?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, and she went back. Bad mistake. Who moves
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: who leaves their life in Los Angeles? I think that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: where they were supposed to be, and then moves to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Colorado and then moves back. Come on, that's it? Did
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: you see that? I have one? Just one, okay, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it's about the strudel. When they were making the strudle,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: they took a ton of time to like make the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: dough for it, right, yeah, and in a bowl was
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: like sliced apples and like those things would have turned
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: so bround before they put it in the street. All like,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Also, when they're making the strudel, at one point they
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: check to see if it's thin enough by sticking a mentor.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Don't to be filled? People touch that thing all days.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I know, I was like what I could feel? How
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: sticky that menu was? You know that menu? Sticky? Yeah? Gross?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Gross gross.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I have a couple When Tyler and his contractor Buddy
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: arrive at the house, Lucy comes downstairs. She's like, oh
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: my gosh, I overslept and he was. She goes, what
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: time is it? And he's like, it's six and she goes,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: oh in LA, first thing means ten does it?
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: No?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Is there any person in business who thinks ten am
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: is first thing in LA? Now, in New York, the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: business day starts later, but it starts earlier in California
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: because we're on.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: The West coast.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, if somebody's the first thing to you, I
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: would think eight at the latest, Yeah, for sure, specially
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: someone in the construction business. Yeah, sometimes even seven point thirty. Right, Okay.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: They go to this fancy chef's restaurant and she makes
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: these special hot chocolates for them. And you know this
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: was filmed in twenty nineteen because immediately thereafter we've got
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: hot chocolate bomb mania.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Sweeping the nation.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: This seemed so novel and Wow, what happens when you
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: bore the.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Hot liquid over it?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Now that night you can get it on every shelf
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: in every grocery store and down.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was funny. That was really fun And I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: was watching them closely too, like it did look like
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: they made an actual like uh hot chocolate like because
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it was like steaming. But then like I was like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: are they really going to take a drink of that?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And then of course, like continuity, you could see like
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: there would be another shot and the drink was like
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: half empty and then it'd be back to full.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I have one more. During Striddlefast at the restaurant,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Lacy and Tyler dance and I think there might be
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: music when they start dancing, but halfway through there's a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: lot and they're dancing and all people are dancing and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: there's just kind of the sound of things happening in
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the restaurant.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But there's no music. Oh that's funny. They're just swam
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: back and forth no music. Then I have somebody the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: editor was like, ooh, sorry about to put music over that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: That's funny. I didn't notice that, but I did notice,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: like they're gonna have their like dancing in that back
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: room the restaurant. That stuff. Yeah, I don't know. It's
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: out in the back of the restaurant in the alleyway.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So I don't know. What did you
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: rate this movie? I gave it three stars. It's too
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: much strudal for me. Oh, three stars is not bad,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: though it's a c I know. I'm sorry. I mean,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I still think Tyler is hot and I hate his
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: hair at this length, but like, I just it's too
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: much sort. I didn't mind this drudle.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I'll ever see a Tyler Hayness

  Speaker 2: movie that's less than a four star movie for me,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Tyler plus lazy four stars.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I just had hard eye for it. Well, I'm glad,
• 24:48
