  Speaker 3: this season.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice to put that number in context, right,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: like it's a Thursday night, it's the Movies and Mysteries movie,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and it knocked out the previous number one movie, which
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was the Mystery one, the one with Victor Webster, Mystery
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on missiletotally that one, yes, but just edged it out slightly.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm I think the Kimberly sau Stat effect has something
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I was just.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Gonna say that, like, I feel like she's like this
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: like secret assassin, Like you mean, we.

• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Her credit, Yes exactly. She's awesome. Can't beat the power
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of one Miss Kimberly Sastad. I feel like it's worth
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: noting that girls Gone. Hallmark correspondent Mike coined the term sustuds,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: or her fandom. I think this is a good time
• 3:20

  Speaker 3: episode of Unreal in twenty eighteen.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're.

  Speaker 1: I think Wendy is going to binge Virgin River any day. Now, Oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Wendy's going to binge Virgin River. I already watched Virgin River. Yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I admittedly have started it, not like after this weekend,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but recently have started it and just was like, Okay,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I don't have the brain power to watch this right now,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just because of all the other content we're consuming for
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the podcast.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Here. Maybe a post Christmas watch for me? Yeah, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: mean two really handsome dudes who are not new to Hallmark.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: The guy that was in the Santa Summit, he's in
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Hallmark Movies, but he's also on Virgin River.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a bad guy. And Marco Grosini, I believe,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is in Virgins. Let's talk about what we liked about
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Twala good Night. Let's do it. Let me just first
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: start off by saying, I really enjoyed this movie. Oh
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: my god, so did I? Did you think I would
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: hate it? I didn't think you would hate it because
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it had it was a you know, a movie's in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: misery movie for sure, deep moments. I definitely cried. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: was surprised to learn that you also cried. I did,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: but it had lots of humor, not full tears. You know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: just gets the nose gets changed. I don't imagine you
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: blubbering over there. No, but it had lots of humor,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And let me start with some really funny moments that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I liked. Bongo Sanna. Some of the lines about Bongo
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Santa were great. I believe Sam says, does this cute
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: little fella warn you when he's about to steal your soul? Yeah?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That was funny Sam. Also, there's a really sunny moment
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: where they're digging through all of the items that Max
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: has stolen and Cec holds up a red heel and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he goes only on Friday nights. Real funny. Like threw
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that line away totally. CC says Max should be in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: federal prison. I thought they did a really nice job
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: balancing the humor with the heavy I agree, I have
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that same note. I think.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Betsy Morris for giving the script like
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a nice sprinkling of funny lines, which then, to me,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: allows Kimberly Sesta to do like two things she's really
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: good at. She's great at comedy, but she's also great
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: at the heavier, tender moments. All around, great actor. Two
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: things that I really enjoyed. I freaking loved how CC
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and Sam met this was not your typical meet cute.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: That's a new term. I know it's not. It's a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: new term to me, is it. I don't think I've.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Ever used the words meet cute. I just thought it
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: was great, Like.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: You know, it was this mystery man and then he
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: gets in this accident and he's got his home on
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and can't really see her face. It was just so
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: not great how they filmed that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, I agree with that. Also, of course they stand
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: out scene for me, and I believe it's where you
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: cried is when Sam recites the letter from Memory to CC.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I thought it was so well acted. He just doesn't
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: miss a beat.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: He's clearly committed this whole thing to Memory because it's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: so special them. The unspoken piece of that is this
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: letter is so meaningful to me that I've read it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: over and over and it just is like a part
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hello soldier, or it's something like or well, soldier.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I can't remember how the first line opens, but oh
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: my god, it was talking about God. It was very
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: reminiscent of the scene from the Dickens of a Holiday
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: when Chris Paalaha does his whole like monologue. This is
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the only moment you liked about that movie, I know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: but it had that the same gravity to it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I thought it was very well acted, very well.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It was a great scene, Yes and caimberly crying, Oh
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: my goodness, so good.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: There's another funny moment where Cec and her friend are
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out why Sam is there, and they're
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in her photo studio and they're digging through a box
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of props and they just keep piling them on, so
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they're wearing like crazy glasses and and they just keep
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: piling them on as they're having this conversation and then
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in like peak Sam in the window. Just was a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: funny staging of that scene. I agree.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I thought there was great friendship chemistry between Cec and Penny.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I loved how like fun and comfortable they were together.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: It was kind of like reminded me of like me
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and you, Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I really liked the envelope moments when people start presenting
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Cec with envelopes, And what part of what I liked
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: about it is nobody was putting pressure on her really
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: about this event. They all seem to understand her reasoning
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: behind canceling the event of course, wouldn't you like yes?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But I could see people being like, well, it's tradition
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: just pushed through, don't I know, don't I would like
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to you about this. But I thought it was great
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that they focused on the important part of the event
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was giving to others, and that really had been the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: heart of that whole event, and they took that off
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: her plate and they just said, here, we're still gonna
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: do these good things. And I love the story behind
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it when she says, some people give a lot and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: some people just hand over an empty envelope, and they
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: all get to retain their dignity of I'm giving, even
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: if they don't have anything to give, right, they all
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: get to be a part of the moment. I thought
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that was touching.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I know we already objectified him, but hello, Mark and me,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: you can stay stick around. We welcome you open arms
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: to Hallmark.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how many months out of the year could version
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of her possibly be filming? I only takes two weeks
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to film a homework, would be yeah? More more?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, I feel like I have a director in
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: my DMS. Maybe I can like cook you two guys up,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: K've gone? Hallmark doescasting the fans what they want.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, I'm I'm blushing right now, so I'm
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: moving on. What do you think his fandom name is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be like the you know heines gets highknies. You
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: know that those fandoms cannot keep their hands to themselves.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have. I don't know.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I'd have to think about it. But now I'm actually thinking, like,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: do I want to start the fandom?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Oh? You new fan here. I don't disagree. I do
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: not disagree. It was a very pleasant experience, and I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: don't just mean looking at it, and he's very handsome.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: But I really enjoyed his character as well. Yeah, me too.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, I loved seeing American sign language used in this movie.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: It's nice to see there's.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: My squirrel friend.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: It's nice to see asl used in like.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: A a stream movie where it's not like part of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the story at all.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's just a representation moment, right, And I do
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: have a little note here. Trevor Laynhorst, who played Penny's husband, Yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I think it was husband. He's actually not a deaf actor,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: but he is a registered sign language interpreter, so they
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: used him in this role. He only has like three
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: other little acting credits. But he does like a lot
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: of camera work apparently, and then is this interpreter so
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: he has this other life too. Yeah, anyway, I just
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: thought it was interesting, fun to admit. Yeah, hey, what
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: do you think of Max the town dog thief? No, okay,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: well we'll talk about that later. I have one more liked. Yeah,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I liked so we have Vivia and the stepmother, right,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and I like that, you know, she comes off a
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: little gruff, but we get a better understanding of why
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: she's like that at the end. And I thought that
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: her and CC had this like full moment, like this
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: closure moment, which was very nice.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And I liked finding out that she was also a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: service member. Yes, I thought that was a nice little
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: reveal mm hmm. And I agree. I like that she
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't the evil stepmother. Yes, I would like to sell
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: it for to you for a dollar. I got a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: little teary eye. I know, I know, though there are
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: nice people, all right. I have but one tiny wish. Oh,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so I'll get it out of the way so you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: can dive in. Mine is decorate the trees before Christmas Eve.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, because then who's going
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to enjoy them, then it's over, and then you've spent
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: all that time. Revisit them on Christmas Eve, have like
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a coffee and cocoa night or something. But decorate them
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: before Christmas Eve. Who wants to be hauling out their
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: decorations and doing all that work on Christmas Eve?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Well, the Germans in Heidelberg holiday do.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, And if that's your tradition, then I see you.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Well, we are recording this on December eleventh. I did
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: put our tree out.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It does not have any decorations on it, you said
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: that time. I know I do, But there is a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: pressure pressure cooker inside of me. That is you know
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I'm failing Christmas. You're not. But also there are other
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: people who live in your house.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna write I think that's the title of my memoir,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I'm failing Christmas. I'm failing, but you're not. And this
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: is anthropic.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But there, I know. Everybody's busy, they got work, they
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: got finals. You are busy too, I know, I know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I know you do not have more hours in the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: day than anybody else.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Holidays are hard, dude, Holidays are hard, all right. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: have just two little wishes.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Poor Max. I know, okay, look at I love dogs, Yes,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Megan knows, I love dogouch for that. I hate hyjiinks.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: And so when you have this cute dog and he's
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: involved in all these hyjiinks, I just know one time, fine,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: maybe two times, but no, why is he getting out
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: all the time? Well, okay, I'm gonna it's in my
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: did you see that? But it feels appropriate? Here was
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: that dog running around town off leash?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Like, how does that happen? That does not happen
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: where we live? No? Oh, we got coyotes, we got cars. Like, yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: she's like, Max, go home, get out of here.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: It.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, how does Max know how to get home? Oh?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah I did? Uh?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Anyway, one final little wish. I have no idea why
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: this was on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. Was not a mystery.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, most of the Christmas movies aren't mysteries.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Only one of our movies and mysteries it's the Miracles
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: of Christmas line. Okay, fine, but I truly think this
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: should have got regular Hallmark channel billing.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and hear me out.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I wonder if the stars of these movies the actor,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the actors, the directors, the right. Do you think they're
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: disappointed when their movie lands on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Because they know it's not going to get the same audience.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: That's exactly why, because I not everybody has Hallmark Movies
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: and Mysteries on their cable lineup right. It's usually an
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: additional cost, correct, and that alone is going to yield
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: a smaller viewership. And there's no shade I'm throwing here.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, this movie did have one point three five
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: six million viewers. I hear you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I think this is the kind of movie that ends
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: up in the Miracles of Christmas lineup.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I think when you have a kimberly assested movie, it
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: should be on the regular channel. Sorry, suem me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's time for digit see that. I had
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to pull some like behind the scenes information for this
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: because in watching this, nothing really like stood out to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: me like, oh look at that. So I've got two.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: A one is a tweet from Beth gross Bard Productions,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: which is about the dog Max Okay, who is a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Neppo puppy. His mom, according to this tweet, is the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: wonderful animal wrangler Grace McLeod, who trained the pups in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Guiding Emily and the infamous All of My Heart Baby Goats.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: That's not a movie, we know. I don't know that movie.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: But I do remember those cute pups.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: See. I like dogs. I remember those cute puppies and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: guiding Emily. I'm not accusing you of not liking dogs.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I love dogs. I have saved a dog from the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: street if you recall, I do remember he bit your
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: husband in the face. I still brought him home. Yes,
• 20:31

• 20:34

• 20:38
  Speaker 1: background or behind Bongo Santa. Yeah, tell me that ugly
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: little ball of mechanical evil belonged to my husband's family
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: growing up. At some point I ended up with it,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and now it makes the rounds between family members. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: tried to get Beth Gross Barred Productions to keep it,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but no luck. I love a little Easter egg like that.
• 20:59

• 21:25

• 21:29
  Speaker 3: where Cec and Penny are talking and you hear CEC's
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: voice but her lips are not moving.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh it's so quick.
