0:22
Speaker 2: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
0:25
Speaker 2: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy, I'm
0:28
Speaker 2: a former Hallmark hater. On today's very special episode, we're
0:31
Speaker 2: reviewing the Hallmark Christmas movie Snowbride from two thy thirteen.
0:37
Speaker 2: After our conversation with Jack's Collier last week. We were
0:39
Speaker 2: so intrigued when she said this is a movie that
0:42
Speaker 2: she rides hard for that we had to give this
0:44
Speaker 2: movie a watch and see for ourselves. If you'd like
0:47
Speaker 2: to give it a watch, it is streaming on Hallmark Plus.

1:38
Speaker 2: Treat yourself.
1:39
Speaker 1: That is right.
1:41
Speaker 2: Let's hear a synopsis for Snowbride. With the promise of
1:45
Speaker 2: a promotion hanging in the balance, a tabloid reporter races
1:49
Speaker 2: to find juicy gossip an influential political family. Her cynical
1:54
Speaker 2: opinion of them changes, however, when she inadvertently ends up
1:58
Speaker 2: spending the week reading up to Christmas with them and
2:01
Speaker 2: starts falling for one of the suns. Woof It's long,
2:05
Speaker 2: It was long. Snowbride was directed by Burt Kish, a
2:08
Speaker 2: Canadian director, editor, and producer with a solid track record
2:11
Speaker 2: in both television and film. Over the course of his career,
2:14
Speaker 2: he directed eleven projects, including movies like Stranded in Paradise,
2:19
Speaker 2: Holiday Switch, and The Haunting of Sorority Row. Bert passed
2:23
Speaker 2: away in twenty seventeen, but his work continues to be
2:25
Speaker 2: part of the Hallmark lineup fans enjoy.
2:28
Speaker 1: Year after year.
2:31
Speaker 2: The script for Snowbride was written by Tracy Andrene, who
2:35
Speaker 2: has an impressive thirty five writing credits to her name.
2:39
Speaker 2: She's behind recent Hallmark hits like Holiday Crashers and the
2:42
Speaker 2: Magic of Lemon Drops, but also some deeper cuts like
2:45
Speaker 2: Love of Course and the Hallmark adjacent cult favorite The
2:48
Speaker 2: Spirit of Christmas. If you haven't listened to our review
2:51
Speaker 2: of the Spirit of Christmas, we encourage you to watch
2:53
Speaker 2: that movie. It is a lifetime movie and give that
2:56
Speaker 2: review a listen. In my opinion, that is a must
2:59
Speaker 2: watch holiday movie. Katrina Lost stars as Greta. She's likely
3:03
Speaker 2: best known for her TV work, including her role on NCIS,
3:06
Speaker 2: where she's appeared in more than seventy episodes, as well
3:09
Speaker 2: as Hawaii Io and Magnum Pi. Hallmark fans may also
3:13
Speaker 2: recognize her from Christmas with the Darlings.
3:15
Speaker 1: From twenty twenty.
3:16
Speaker 2: Question for you, did Christmas with the Darlings immediately begin
3:19
Speaker 2: playing after you watched this movie?
3:21
Speaker 1: It did not.
3:23
Speaker 2: I was the credits role that I was writing down
3:25
Speaker 2: notes and then Kristina Law was right back on my screen.
3:27
Speaker 2: I don't think it did, but it that is interesting
3:30
Speaker 2: because the next I mean, good on you. Hallmark Plus
3:33
Speaker 2: The next movie up was something with I think Jared
3:38
Speaker 2: Belfhi is it bell Phi Belfi?
3:40
Speaker 1: What would you say? His name is bell Phi Belfie.
3:44
Speaker 1: I you know it was fifty to fifty.
3:46
Speaker 2: That does not help me flip a coin, Jordan Belfie,
3:50
Speaker 2: That's what I would have done. Please been with ninety
3:52
Speaker 2: one acting credits, Jordan's popped up and everything from All
3:55
Speaker 2: American and The Good Doctor to Scandal Anne Castle Bride
4:00
Speaker 2: looks to be his most recent and possibly only Homemark
4:03
Speaker 2: movie appearance. It's been a minute, Jordan belfy Pie. Patricia
4:07
Speaker 2: Richardson plays matriarch Maggie Tannehill. She's best known for her
4:10
Speaker 2: iconic role as Jill Taylor on the Hits Thatcom Home
4:14
Speaker 2: Improvement with fifty three acting credits. Patricia has also appeared
4:17
Speaker 2: in shows like The West Wing, Strong Medicine, and Last
4:20
Speaker 2: Man's Standing. Hallmark fans might also remember her from Chance
4:24
Speaker 2: at Romance, which aired in twenty fourteen. Which character does
4:28
Speaker 2: she play on The West Wings. That's a great question.
4:30
Speaker 2: I was trying to think of that.
4:31
Speaker 1: She's had a lot of episodes. I'm shocked. Come on,
4:35
Speaker 1: for someone who.
4:35
Speaker 2: Has watched that series over and over multiple times. I'm
4:39
Speaker 2: shocked that you can't remember the character she played. Was
4:42
Speaker 2: shocked that me memory of a goldfish doesn't remember a
4:44
Speaker 2: single actor's name, since he're going, you know, the one
4:47
Speaker 2: doesn't know who she is she played? Okay, she brooks
4:52
Speaker 2: Senator Arnold Vinnick, who was played by Alan Alda's chief
4:56
Speaker 2: of staff in season six and seven. Now that you've
4:59
Speaker 2: said that, yes, I you remember her, but she is
5:02
Speaker 2: on the other team. Oh but yeah, she's great. But
5:07
Speaker 2: look to me, the West Wing is like seasons one
5:11
Speaker 2: through four, and like seasons five through seven are like
5:14
Speaker 2: the later years because they're not written by the creator.
5:16
Speaker 2: Oh it's like a Gilmore Girls situation. Or season seven
5:19
Speaker 2: wasn't written by the creator, and so everybody said it
5:22
Speaker 2: was the lost season, the lost season. So is the
5:25
Speaker 2: West Wing like that as well? There's In my opinion,
5:29
Speaker 2: the show is good all the way through, but the
5:31
Speaker 2: first core four seasons are the best, and then when
5:35
Speaker 2: Aaron Sorkin is no longer show running, it's a little
5:38
Speaker 2: bit different.
5:39
Speaker 1: Gotcha. Gotcha.
5:42
Speaker 2: Susie abromy It plays Claire. With fifty six acting credits,
5:46
Speaker 2: she has built an impressive resume across film and television
5:50
Speaker 2: As for Hallmark, it looks like she's only appeared in
5:53
Speaker 2: two titles, Snowbride and the twenty sixteen movie A Perfect Christmas.
5:57
Speaker 2: Bobby Campo plays brother Jared. He's worked steadily in both
6:00
Speaker 2: film and television about Hallmark. Fans may know him from
6:03
Speaker 2: My Christmas Love in twenty sixteen and Sharing Christmas in
6:06
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. It's funny a lot of these actors have
6:09
Speaker 2: only appeared in Hallmark movies, like during this really short
6:13
Speaker 2: kind of time frame.
6:14
Speaker 1: And then they moved on years. Yeah.
6:16
Speaker 2: Robert Curtis Brown plays Peters with an impressive one hundred
6:21
Speaker 2: and seventy eight acting credits. His resume spans a wide
6:24
Speaker 2: range of projects, from Grayson Frankie to CSI and The
6:28
Speaker 2: Handmaid's Tale. Snowbride appears to be his most recent Hallmark appearance.
6:33
Speaker 2: Tom Blank plays rival tabloid reporter Wes with ninety acting credits.
6:37
Speaker 2: He's kept busy with roles in a variety of comedies,
6:40
Speaker 2: including Fresh Off the Boat and Working Mom's Dan and
6:43
Speaker 2: Barron plays Greta's friend Doria. You might recognize her as
6:46
Speaker 2: I recognize her as Nicky Brandon Walsh's girlfriend on Beverly
6:50
Speaker 2: Hills nine O two one O. She also played the
6:52
Speaker 2: original Audrey Griswold in the nineteen eighty three classic National
6:56
Speaker 2: Lampoons Vacation Nicki, who tells Rosie O'Donnell that you, yeah,
7:00
Speaker 2: she and Brandon are.
7:01
Speaker 1: Doing it on national television.
7:03
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, you're right wild. George Weiner takes on
7:08
Speaker 2: the role of Greta's boss Lou with an impression of
7:10
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifteen acting credits spanning film and television.
7:13
Speaker 2: He's best recognized for his work in Spaceballs. We're going
7:16
Speaker 2: to take a quick break and we'll be right back
7:18
Speaker 2: to share our first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what was your
7:30
Speaker 2: first impression of Snowbride. Snowbride is giving tweed, blazers, horse stables,
7:35
Speaker 2: and the polo bar, basically my Ralph Lauren daydream in
7:38
Speaker 2: a Hallmark movie. Did you love when Ben like layered
7:43
Speaker 2: that sweater over that flannel, the collar was popped was great? Yeah?
7:47
Speaker 2: I was into like the chocolate brown writing boots and like, yeah, yeah,
7:52
Speaker 2: I'm moving super visually.
7:54
Speaker 1: Into this movie.
7:56
Speaker 2: My first impression is as soon as Ben said she
7:58
Speaker 2: was not what she appeared to be about his ex Claire.
8:00
Speaker 2: I could see the deception and conflict coming a mile away. Yeah,
8:05
Speaker 2: let's talk what we liked about Snowbride. If I can
8:08
Speaker 2: start in our interview with Jack's It was within the
8:13
Speaker 2: Double Scoop movie review. If you didn't listen, she is
8:17
Speaker 2: the one who recommended this movie. She said in that
8:20
Speaker 2: interview that Snowbride is more calm than rom and.
8:24
Speaker 1: She wasn't wrong.
8:27
Speaker 2: I loved look early on when Greta when they're looking
8:32
Speaker 2: at like the photographs because she's a tabloid reporter and
8:35
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, being like sneaky pop. She wasn't
8:38
Speaker 2: being sneaky paparazzi, but she was looking at paparazzi photos
8:41
Speaker 2: and they like turn the photo and her and her
8:44
Speaker 2: sism both go. And I just was like, that's funny,
8:48
Speaker 2: like stupid kind of humor. That is like small humor,
8:52
Speaker 2: Like that really makes me laugh. Yeah, and I appreciate
8:57
Speaker 2: it and enjoyed it a lot.
8:58
Speaker 1: Well.
8:59
Speaker 2: Another thing Ja said in that interview is that the
9:01
Speaker 2: acting in this movie what's funny is she was like
9:04
Speaker 2: the acting in this movie, and I was expecting a
9:06
Speaker 2: different ending of that sentence, but she was like, is
9:08
Speaker 2: great I fully agree. The acting in this movie is
9:11
Speaker 2: great for a twenty thirteen Hallmark movie. I was not
9:16
Speaker 2: expecting this is so fun, so watchable. I wondered. I
9:23
Speaker 2: wondered how the Hallmark viewer of twenty thirteen took this movie.
9:30
Speaker 1: How was it received? Yeah? Did they hate it? Was
9:33
Speaker 1: it too edgy for them? Ooh edgy?
9:36
Speaker 2: I mean it's not edgy at all, but I feel
9:39
Speaker 2: like so classically Hallmark, like fake dating.
9:41
Speaker 1: Oh reception for sure, over the top villain.
9:45
Speaker 2: But there were some jokes that I thought were not
9:50
Speaker 2: really jokes, but there were. There was a line, an
9:53
Speaker 2: undertone if you will, that felt edgier.
10:00
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. I would love to hear it.
10:03
Speaker 2: Let me hear from the Hallmark purists who knows this
10:05
Speaker 2: movie and is like, ugh, that's garbage because it was
10:09
Speaker 2: too Someone emailed us immediately after hearing our episode and
10:13
Speaker 2: was like, please write is so great?
10:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, please review this movie.
10:16
Speaker 2: So at least one person this is team Jackson wild
10:19
Speaker 2: to me that we have never heard of this movie
10:22
Speaker 2: before four days ago?
10:25
Speaker 1: Well is that true?
10:27
Speaker 2: Or is there just a barrage of Hallmark movies and
10:29
Speaker 2: we cannot possibly internalize them all?
10:31
Speaker 1: I don't know some.
10:33
Speaker 2: There are some listeners who are always in the dms
10:36
Speaker 2: or the emails who are.
10:37
Speaker 1: Like, please please please please.
10:39
Speaker 2: Review this movie one summer Hi, Paula. Yeah, is this
10:43
Speaker 2: a lesser known maybe pleaser loved movie? Who maybe he knows?
10:47
Speaker 2: Can I also say, in the same vein of the comedy,
10:51
Speaker 2: I loved the silliness of rival reporter Wes a little
10:57
Speaker 2: bit goofy, a little bit kind of like this anoint
11:01
Speaker 2: gnat that is real, a real thorn.
11:04
Speaker 1: And Greta's side, Yeah, I think I told you that.
11:06
Speaker 2: I somehow came across the paparazzi on TikTok and this
11:11
Speaker 2: woman is trying to get the scoop on who the
11:14
Speaker 2: latest Dancing with the Stars stars are and she is
11:19
Speaker 2: at the lot. I don't know how she gets in.
11:20
Speaker 2: Maybe the lot area is public, I don't know. As
11:24
Speaker 2: the stars are arriving and they have this whole have
11:26
Speaker 2: you ever seen any of the videos of this. The
11:28
Speaker 2: stars arriving, They're all wearing like these full face visors,
11:32
Speaker 2: and then the production assistants have these giant black umbrellas
11:36
Speaker 2: that they hold in front of the cameras and she's
11:38
Speaker 2: like trying to it just gave me those vibes of
11:40
Speaker 2: like trying to get the scoop, especially when he like
11:43
Speaker 2: swoops in with his camera while they're proposing. Yeah, yeah,
11:47
Speaker 2: didn't nobody see that happen. Can we talk for a
11:50
Speaker 2: second about Dancing with the Stars? Oh yeah, I am convinced.
11:53
Speaker 2: If you're not following us on Instagram, I shared last week,
11:58
Speaker 2: it was rumored that Victors might be a participant on
12:02
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars this season. Then yesterday he puts
12:06
Speaker 2: out kind of a cryptic story on his Instagram of
12:09
Speaker 2: what basically looks like a pool of sweat that is
12:12
Speaker 2: gathering on the floor.
12:14
Speaker 1: Of a potential dance studio. That's what it looked like
12:17
Speaker 1: to me. Now, after you told me that, I did
12:20
Speaker 1: a little googling.
12:21
Speaker 2: Do you know that Victor put it out into the
12:23
Speaker 2: world that he was open to doing Dancing with the
12:25
Speaker 2: Stars in June.
12:26
Speaker 1: Of this year. I did not.
12:28
Speaker 2: He was asked about it, and apparently his niece is
12:31
Speaker 2: a huge fan is always asking him to go on
12:33
Speaker 2: the show, so he had said, yeah, I would. There's
12:36
Speaker 2: several articles that he had said I would do it
12:38
Speaker 2: for her. I mean, he could be trolley nus right now.
12:41
Speaker 2: Totally and I would be so disappointed because I really
12:45
Speaker 2: want to see da chad On Dancing with the Stars. Yeah,
12:50
Speaker 2: he did some dancing in the very recent Hannah Swinson.
12:55
Speaker 2: I would like to see him too. My concern is
12:59
Speaker 2: that we have so many social media sensations in this season.
13:03
Speaker 2: I know, Europe against Alex Earl and the Mormon Wives. M.
13:08
Speaker 1: Good luck, Charlie.
13:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, we gotta rally that the
13:12
Speaker 2: Hallwark troops.
13:13
Speaker 1: I know.
13:14
Speaker 2: Here's something I liked as Southern California lady. I like
13:18
Speaker 2: the the Big Bear setting. M. Yeah that makes sense, right, Yeah,
13:24
Speaker 2: I was like, that's fun, and yeah, she's an LA girl.
13:27
Speaker 1: They go to Big Bear. But here's what I really loved.
13:29
Speaker 1: The caretaker's cabin m M.
13:31
Speaker 2: Either someone is so tuned in with what these little
13:37
Speaker 2: mountain rental homes look like, or they rented the perfect
13:41
Speaker 2: home because it was so perfectly kitchy. When she's rummaging
13:47
Speaker 2: through the house looking for the wedding dress, she like
13:49
Speaker 2: swipes away a curtain covering a cabinet and there's like
13:53
Speaker 2: a stack of old like board games. They're not it's
13:54
Speaker 2: not perfectly curated. It's like kind of old dingy board games. Yeah,
13:58
Speaker 2: and she opens a closet and it's exactly what you
13:59
Speaker 2: would see in like a cabin. It was either perfectly
14:03
Speaker 2: dressed as a set or they just got very lucky
14:06
Speaker 2: with this rental house. I was like, that is a
14:08
Speaker 2: little mountain house if I ever did see one. Oh,
14:11
Speaker 2: I didn't really notice those. But that's a good take.
14:16
Speaker 2: You mentioned it earlier. But give me all the fake
14:18
Speaker 2: dating tropes. When we get to this part in the
14:21
Speaker 2: movie where they're like, Okay, let's pretend.
14:23
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, like the favorite.
14:28
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, have I become this person? Like,
14:30
Speaker 2: but this is my favorite? I was so excited and
14:34
Speaker 2: Peters and he's like, so fake dating. I love that
14:38
Speaker 2: scene when she just full out confesses to Peters that
14:41
Speaker 2: that's what their scheme is.
14:43
Speaker 1: Loved it, loved it, loved it.
14:46
Speaker 2: Did you love the mid movie Kiss under the Mistletoe?
14:49
Speaker 1: I did? That was great. I mean for twenty thirteen.
14:52
Speaker 2: Whoa, I'm telling you, edgy, edgy. I also story wise
14:57
Speaker 2: really like this story. I'm sure there are similar Hallmark movies.
15:01
Speaker 2: I don't can't name one right now, where like an
15:03
Speaker 2: undercover reporter falls in love with somebody they're investigating, Like,
15:07
Speaker 2: I'm that feels very tropy. But I isn't that the
15:10
Speaker 2: premise of The Christmas Prince not a Hallmark movie but
15:13
Speaker 2: a Netflix movie that like she goes there you think
15:17
Speaker 2: I watched that, and no, you did it and becomes
15:19
Speaker 2: the nanny.
15:20
Speaker 1: But she's actually a reporter. I think that's the premise.
15:23
Speaker 1: M I don't know what I liked about it.
15:26
Speaker 2: I kind of like the political family drama of it all.
15:30
Speaker 2: I just thought, not that it felt fresh, but I
15:32
Speaker 2: was like, this.
15:33
Speaker 1: Is an interesting take.
15:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess it could be like it
15:37
Speaker 2: could be easily swapped out for like Royal Family totally,
15:41
Speaker 2: you know, but I like the whole Americana of it all.
15:44
Speaker 1: I'm speaking of Royal Family.
15:46
Speaker 2: I felt like Greta was giving Megan Markle in the
15:49
Speaker 2: holiday party scene. She has, first of all, she has
15:53
Speaker 2: these beautiful freckles, and her makeup is really understated, like
15:57
Speaker 2: just not wearing a bold lip. She looks gorge the
16:00
Speaker 2: dress she was wearing, the hair, I was like, oh,
16:03
Speaker 2: you are giving me Megan Markle vibes in the best way.
16:06
Speaker 2: And I have one more like and that is I
16:08
Speaker 2: don't always feel this way, but I think Snowbride is a.
16:11
Speaker 1: Perfect title for this movie.
16:13
Speaker 2: At first, I thought it was so cute, and men
16:15
Speaker 2: comes in here and he's like, hey, Snowbride. But it
16:17
Speaker 2: was so cute, and then it makes perfect sense. I
16:19
Speaker 2: just thought it was great. I have a few more
16:23
Speaker 2: little likes. Back to Katrina Law. I really liked her.
16:26
Speaker 2: Why are you not on Hallmark more? I know you're
16:28
Speaker 2: busy with like Ncis and whatever. I really liked about her,
16:33
Speaker 2: and you touched on it is. I like her look, yeah,
16:36
Speaker 2: and I think her look is unlike many of the
16:40
Speaker 2: Hallmark actresses we see currently on our screen. So I
16:45
Speaker 2: was like, give me more of that.
16:47
Speaker 1: There were hair. I was in love with her hair. Yeah.
16:50
Speaker 1: I thought a good actor too. She is a good actor.
16:54
Speaker 1: It was she could do.
16:56
Speaker 2: The comedy and like the romantic stuff.
17:00
Speaker 1: I just liked it all. I also really liked.
17:03
Speaker 2: And I I'm butchering her last name again, Susie Claire
17:07
Speaker 2: Claire straight up Jake crue Villain.
17:10
Speaker 1: I loved it. And finally, I.
17:13
Speaker 2: Really enjoyed Patricia Richardson's kind of scary but also low
17:17
Speaker 2: key boss babe.
17:19
Speaker 1: Yes, it's super warm too.
17:21
Speaker 2: That's what my notes say. There's something very smooth about
17:24
Speaker 2: her delivery of the dialogue which made me feel like, oh,
17:27
Speaker 2: she's a safe space. Yeah yeah, I five stars. I
17:31
Speaker 2: really really really enjoyed her in this.
17:33
Speaker 1: Well what'd you wish for? I have very few?
17:36
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought they gave Ben Jordan Belfie Bellfid Hallmark
17:42
Speaker 2: eyearbook treatment. Not super like, there's no smolder there. He
17:48
Speaker 2: just it was like, I'm a good politician, guy who
17:51
Speaker 2: wants two dreams of being a writer.
17:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just a little boring.
17:58
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe my Hamemark movies. I mean you hear I
18:03
Speaker 2: just talked about Wowie Zowie Webster like, I kind of
18:06
Speaker 2: like the you want a bit of a smolder, a
18:09
Speaker 2: little of a bit of a bad boy?
18:11
Speaker 1: I do, I do? I do.
18:14
Speaker 2: My other wish is I hated Greta's boss so very much.
18:17
Speaker 2: Way to be one of the shittiest human beings alive. Seriously,
18:20
Speaker 2: we just had this talk in our review of Double
18:23
Speaker 2: Scoop when we're like, are their bosses really like that?
18:27
Speaker 1: Who are so?
18:27
Speaker 2: Canivy yea?
18:28
Speaker 1: Yeah? Apparently so.
18:30
Speaker 2: Evidently the magazine's going online and we need to launch
18:33
Speaker 2: with a bang. I was like, wow, twenty thirteen coming
18:36
Speaker 2: in hot Okay. As much as I love the fake
18:39
Speaker 2: dating trope, when I don't always love is deception upon
18:42
Speaker 2: deception upon deception. But I had many opportunities to come clean.
18:45
Speaker 2: I understand that doesn't make for a good movie, but
18:47
Speaker 2: I was like, come come on, here's your moment. Like
18:49
Speaker 2: the next morning. All she had to do was be like,
18:51
Speaker 2: here's the deal. Obviously it doesn't give her the chance
18:54
Speaker 2: to follow through and get the scoop, but she was
18:57
Speaker 2: never gonna do that, right, I mean it was clear
19:00
Speaker 2: immediately when she agrees to the fake dating plot that
19:03
Speaker 2: she's already team Ben.
19:05
Speaker 1: She's not team I'm gonna get the story, Claire.
19:11
Speaker 2: This is a super villain if I've ever seen right,
19:13
Speaker 2: she stated both brothers and made a play for the dad.
19:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a lot EDGI.
19:19
Speaker 2: For what is maybe like almost a little too much
19:24
Speaker 2: to be believable, Like is she is there someone who
19:27
Speaker 2: really would go this far and not even so much?
19:30
Speaker 1: Is there someone who would go this far? You know?
19:32
Speaker 1: She made a play for the dad, all right?
19:34
Speaker 2: Then she goes right Pete, then she goes for Ben,
19:38
Speaker 2: Then she goes for Jared. Jared's like, what, I have
19:42
Speaker 2: a little self respect man at some point, well, this
19:45
Speaker 2: is like thank god the mom like can see what's
19:49
Speaker 2: happening here, you know what I mean. But when they
19:52
Speaker 2: said this stuff about like making the play for the dad,
19:54
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, what did I just hear?
19:57
Speaker 1: Really took me aback?
19:59
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe. Yes, super villain j crue, super villain. Yeah.
20:03
Speaker 2: And this is another one where where to your point,
20:08
Speaker 2: Greta's like telling her boss that story isn't true about
20:11
Speaker 2: her having the affair, and he's like, it doesn't matter,
20:12
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, We're gonna tell it anyway.
20:14
Speaker 1: He's like, that's gross.
20:16
Speaker 2: Hey, Doria, just say no to wearing a dress that
20:19
Speaker 2: everybody in the family had to wear. Just say no,
20:22
Speaker 2: that's an ugly dress.
20:24
Speaker 1: And it's your day.
20:24
Speaker 2: You should wear what you want to wear. You can
20:27
Speaker 2: honor his family in other ways. I did like the
20:30
Speaker 2: dress after they yeah, we made at her. I'm shocked
20:34
Speaker 2: you didn't say this. The hyjiinks at the beginning are
20:37
Speaker 2: so off the charts. The car crash, putting on the
20:39
Speaker 2: wedding dress to warm up, tumbling down the hill, lying
20:41
Speaker 2: in the absolute carpet of snow. Did you see when
20:44
Speaker 2: he goes to pick her up.
20:45
Speaker 1: It's in my did you say that?
20:47
Speaker 2: Okay, not that part. The hijienks didn't bother me.
20:50
Speaker 1: It didn't bother me. Okay.
20:52
Speaker 2: I'm like, she is this single woman stuck in snow.
20:56
Speaker 1: What are you to do?
20:58
Speaker 2: Have three brain cells and don't drive to the mountains
21:01
Speaker 2: in December wearing a tank top in shorts. Well, see,
21:04
Speaker 2: that's why people who don't live in southern California realize,
21:08
Speaker 2: is that you can wear tank top and shorts in
21:11
Speaker 2: December in the city and then go up to the
21:13
Speaker 2: mountains and be freezing cold. If you were at the gym,
21:16
Speaker 2: and then she drives to the mountains, I just thought,
21:20
Speaker 2: he's already there. You're already behind Run home and pack
21:23
Speaker 2: a bag. Then we don't have the story.
21:26
Speaker 1: Was that so funny?
21:26
Speaker 2: Though? Who am I turning into? When she's stuck in
21:30
Speaker 2: the parking lot and she's like, I'm trying to get out?
21:31
Speaker 1: Loved it? I mean, who hasn't been there? Could not
21:34
Speaker 1: see a.
21:34
Speaker 2: Little too early for me, I'm like, it would have
21:36
Speaker 2: been funnier just to keep it going with like a
21:38
Speaker 2: twenty seven point turn. Loved it, Okay, let's talk digit
21:42
Speaker 2: see that it's it's just one.
21:44
Speaker 1: It's the straight up bubbles. They are bubbles, but she's
21:48
Speaker 1: laying in the slot.
21:49
Speaker 2: Lean onto her face, yes, and around her like bubbles
21:54
Speaker 2: on the on the rocks. You know what's funny is
21:57
Speaker 2: there's a couple of scenes like when she's driving, it
21:59
Speaker 2: looks like actual slush around the tire, so yeah, that
22:02
Speaker 2: looks like good snow. And then we got those bubbles.
22:04
Speaker 2: And then when he reaches to pick her up, you
22:07
Speaker 2: can tell that she's laying on basically a literal carpef
22:10
Speaker 2: snow like because the whole thing moves goes. I have
22:14
Speaker 2: a couple more digit see that's one. The movie poster.
22:17
Speaker 2: The movie poster is so.
22:18
Speaker 1: Much cheesier than the actual movie. The movie was great.
22:21
Speaker 1: The movie poster. If I saw it, I'd be.
22:23
Speaker 2: Like, oh.
22:25
Speaker 1: Uh, the dog, I think his name is Broodie. It's
22:29
Speaker 1: not his dog's name. I can't recall. It doesn't matter.
22:32
Speaker 2: When Claire is exposing Greta, they cut to the dog
22:36
Speaker 2: and he makes us like it's really funny. It's very
22:39
Speaker 2: silly but funny. It's just straight up like cut to
22:42
Speaker 2: the dog. Claire's name is Claire Sinclair. Her name is
22:46
Speaker 2: Claire Sinclair. It tracks to me, it's it's it does
22:52
Speaker 2: not does not not give like Polo Lounge, Let's Luthor.

Speaker 2: Two more, girlfriend goes into she has no clothes. She

Speaker 2: buy baking supplies and other provisions. Comes home with a
23:19
Speaker 2: full wardrobe of like real cute winter clothes and boots.
23:23
Speaker 2: A full wardrobe. And then later when Ben goes shopping
23:26
