  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a bonus episode
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of Long Story Short the podcast. I'm Megan, I'm Wendy,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and today we.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Are discussing Don't Forget I Love You, the fourth movie
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: in Hallmarks New Year New Movies line up.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: For January twenty twenty two. Do you feel like we're
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just limping into like the end of January with these movies?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I honestly can't believe. Yes, it's only five movies, it
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: just feels like so many, you know. I wonder if
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that's because they're not cohesive at all. Yeah, there's no
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: like tying through line between any of them. Nope. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: really think Hallmark needs to take a break from the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: themes that they put together for the months, right. Has
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that always been a thing for them for several years
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: at least? But I wonder if it's like, why watch
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the movies in this lineup? I don't know, as supposed
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to just watch this random movie? Yeah? Did we even
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like open the show and say who we are? We did?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: We did? Okay? Hi, I don't know if I said hi.

• 2:15
  Speaker 2: But back to this movie, Wendy, do you have a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: synopsis of Don't Forget I Love You?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Sure do?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: On her birthdays, Taylor opens a time capsule left by
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: her deceased mother, which contains a list of challenges forcing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: her out of her comfort zone and opening her up
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to the possibility of love. Starring Emily Ullerup and Clayton James.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Sorry Emily if I butchered your last name. I think
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that sounded great. Cool.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: This movie had several working titles, including Romancing the Birthday
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Girl and Time Capsule Romance. I'm gonna be honest, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: think all of them, including the title they landed on, stink.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They're terrible. Romancing the Birthday Girl was the working title
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: when they announced movie earlier. Well, I guess it'd been
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: late last year.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Even in the app they had it as Romancing the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Birthday Girl until how long last week a few weeks ago,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: because you can sink the Hallmark Movie app to your
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: calendar and sometimes when there's a new listing, I'll do
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that and it'll just drop them all in. And it
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: was listed in my calendar still as Romancing the Birthday Girl.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Oh that's funny. Yeah, I think all those titles are
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: terrible because really, like he wasn't Romancing the Birthday Girl
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in this Time Capsule Romance kind of better than all
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of them, but still not my favorite. And don't forget
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that I Love You is has nothing to do so generic?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Is it about her mom? Don't forget that I love you?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Which fine, but the focus is on the love story,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: not the mom relationship. Yeah. This was filmed in Canada,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: including the Squamish British Columbia region and in Vancouver. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I have to say there were some landscapes that were
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so beautiful. Yes, it was clearly filmed in fall. Lots
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, georgeous fall foliage. It was so pretty.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But then I had read that it was filmed in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Yeah, November twenty twenty and already released in
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Hungary in August twenty twenty one. Why why why does
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the Hungarian country get it before anybody Else's great question?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Do you know my dogs are from Hungry? I did not. Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that's where vshlas yes originate, that's it. Didn't know that. Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: The suspension bridge that they used in filming is the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Capilano Suspension Bridge, and they filmed there on their very
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: last day of filming.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's because they're like, well, something that happenens,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: would you walk on that suspension bridge? I did get
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit nervous, Like those wide shots they showed
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a bit I was like, I don't know. I mean
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: here in Orange County there's this big, great orange balloon.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's like a tethered to the ground hot
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: air balloon. And the one time I went up in it,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I like dropped to my knees in the basket because
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I was like so scared of being so high. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I was like.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: That bridge was over a valley, or you will hummel.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To your death if it breaks. I don't like heights.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I would not enjoy the suspension bridge. It was long.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It was like it looked like a mile long. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: wonder how long it is? You know what. I'm gonna
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: look it up right now and see how long it is?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: One hundred and forty meters long and seventy meters above
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the river. I'll do a meter conversion. Four hundred and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: sixty feet two hundred and thirty feet above the river. Okay, well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: how far is four hundred and sixty feet? It looked
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: like it was miles long. A mile is five two
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty feet, so it was not miles long. Well,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it looked like it. It was less than one tenth
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of a mile, but it was long and scary looking.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Would I would not have enjoyed that at all. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: oh my god, there's a picture I see on the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: internet and there's a whole bunch of people on it. No,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: no way, no.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And then it's in a rock and sway no, thank you, no,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: thank you. Devin Alexander, who plays Kyle, who is Taylor's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: coworker in this movie, has been in Where Your Heart
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Belongs this year at the Santa Steakout, count on a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Christmas twenty twenty one, Chasing Waterfalls. I'm so sorry you
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: were in that movie. A New Year's Resolution. Wendy's so
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: sorry you're in that movie. But all I have to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: say is those are all within the last year. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: think it's time for Devin Alexander to have a lead role.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I agree. When I saw him, I was like, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: know his face, I couldn't tell you what movie he's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: been in, but like I had the exact same thought,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: give this guy a lead role. Yeah, Like he's really
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: working it hard, Like you know, he's like I'll do anything.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I thought he was great. Annie's very good looking, Like
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: put him in a lead role, Like, God, already, let's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: do it. Let's start a Twitter campaign. What's his name again?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Devin Alexander. All right, Devin, that's a great idea. We
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: should definitely tweet that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we will. She's putting it on our to do
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a list. It's not on the list. It doesn't happen.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And I find such satisfaction with the scratchy pen crossing
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it off. Yes, And I write my to do list
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, and then I was working a little
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: bit on Saturday, and look, there's already a bunch of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: stuff crossed off. Killing the game, Megan, You're killing the game,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you know. I would like to say that last week
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I only had a three day week because my children
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: didn't have school Monday and Tuesday, and I still, well,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I should have kept that. I really wanted to keep
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that list and show you all the things I crossed
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: off week. It was a good week. You should save
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: them and then go back at the end of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: year and be like, look at all the things I accomplish,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you know, like a gratitude jar where you like, remember
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that when I showed you my daughter has. Yeah, you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: should just save them all in like a notebook or
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: something and be like, look at all the things I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: did this year. Love that?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Not mad that the first two weeks are gone. Okay,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: what was your first impression of this movie?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: My first impression of Don't Forget I Love You is
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you had me until that horrible green screen. Oh.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: My first impression is I like this way more than
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the dumb title made me think I would.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't hate it. I actually kind of liked it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start with my like squeeze. Maybe I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: liked the story. I mean I don't I don't particularly
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: like stories about like dead moms and daughters. It's like
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: too close to home, so like I don't want that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But I just thought it was I I don't know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I kind of like a little bit of a challenge.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I like that she was exploring new things. I like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this story. I thought it was a good story. Agree.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I liked the depiction of Taylor's anxiety. Okay, I think
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it could have been easy to make it a punchline,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and I think they straddled that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Line a little bit.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I agree, But I do think it's a good idea
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to put these things naturally in films, and they mirrored
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that Chloe. So Taylor and Chloe kind of had that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: shared experience, and I liked Taylor's worry Angel that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: She gave to Chloe and that they showed strategies for Yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be anxious and here are ways to work
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: through it. I like that. Okay. However, yeah, I thought
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I have two notes here. One, I think I think
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you're right about, uh, straddling the anxiety thing. Like at
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: some points I was like, She's it's too much like
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: dial it back, but it is good to see, like, Oh,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: here's a real person who's like dealing with anxiety and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: here's how she manages it. Right. Then, on the other hand,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: it was like Taylor meets Chloe, and Chloe's like, yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid to give this like presentation. She's like, you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: are dealing with anxiety, you know what I mean.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, don't project onto this poor child that
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you've like really like put it in her head.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Now you're giving her a worry necklace, like oh no, no, no,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: no no no, no no. But her dad said to her,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: she's really withdrawn since she lost her mom. Uh huh.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: He told her she's very nervous about giving this presentation.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, she was dealing with the reality fair. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: don't know, it just was funny to me. And then
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, she gave like a presentation about
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: her dad. Is she like in middle school? Oh my god,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: she's gonna get breaked over the cools. Yes, And what
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: presentation requires you to just pick any topic in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: world to present?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: She's like, well, elephants, Okay, fine, if it's like a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: science class or something, you know. I don't know, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that's a terrible teacher who gives you no direction. Just
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: present on anything, anything you want to. Just get up
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: here in time. I'll be here on my computer. What
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you're talking about. Here's a twist. I really like the kids.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I was wondering Wendy has a long habit of not
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: enjoying the children. Her name is Daphne Hoskins. She was
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in the Babysitters Club series, Oh as Vanessa Pike. Okay,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I don't I've seen it. No, no, no, you know
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Mallory the one with eight she's Malag's one of the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: junior members. And Mallory has a bunch of brothers and sisters.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Really none of them, not resume in my head, No,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: none of that. Really. I think I saw the first
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: season and I don't Magan these things in out. I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: don't have you any did you not read The Babysitters
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Club as at all? I was okay, I came from
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a broken home. I was not to say I was cool. No.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: No.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: She was also in a TV show called Scaredy Cats?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Is this TV series twenty twenty one on Netflix? Never
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: heard of that? But it looks cute. She's got a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: really big resume here. Anyway. I thought she was cute
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and good. I agree, I have on my list. I
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: did like Taylor's affirmation podcast that she listened to every morning.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Who Are You?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's something that I would say that I like, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: wouldn't listen to it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I felt like it made the movie feel very current.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: It felt very real, like a very real part of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: some Wednesday that they've got their morning podcast that they
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: listen to as they're getting out the door. Obviously, the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: timing was like the whole affirmation lasts the entire time
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: she's getting ready walking to work until she sits down. Okay,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: this is one of those suspend your disbelief.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: For a moment. But I enjoyed that. Okay, I'm so
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: surprised to hear you say that. So surprised. I was
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: excited to see how that time capsule challenges like unfolded.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah they weren't groundbreaking, no, but they weren't overly cheesy.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think they did a good job of pushing her
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: out of her comfort zone. When do you think her
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: mom died? Did they say how long her mom had
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: been dead? No, I don't have that. And this was
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: her birthday? How was she turning thirty? Is that she's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: older than that? I think? So she's thirty seven years old. Okay,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: so she's young and beautiful. I mean, don't get me wrong.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It was just weird, Like I thought, I wonder how
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: long ago the mom died, and her mom's like, you're
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: never gonna Be're like, you're gonna need these challenges when
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you turn thirty because you're not gonna be a full
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: adult yet. Do you know she didn't have any confidence
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that this daughter was going to like break out of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: her shell and become this Mary Posta butterfly as an
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: adult Mary Posa. So I hear that. One of the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: things I.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Liked, and this is coming back to it, is when
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the dad reveals that the mom did the same challenges,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and I thought that was such a sweet scene when
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: he whips out the photo.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: The polaroids, which was a nice touch. I thought, a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: very nice touch because obviously they're not going to have
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: them on a cell phone.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that there was like a younger shot of
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the dad there.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a nice surprise, little moment. I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: like these father daughter moments. They're very sweet to me.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: But I hear you that it feels like she didn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: have faith that her daughter would. To me, it feels
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: like she just knew who her daughter was. I mean,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: these are like questions like for this scriptwriters, like what's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the backstory here? Right? I need to know the backstory? Okay.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: The last thing that I liked about the story is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I liked and believed the natural developing relationship between Taylor
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and Josh one hundred percent agree. You know, like when
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you meet somebody and you like them instantly and you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: want to hang out with them all the time. That's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: what I felt like between them, Like she said, hey,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: come do this with me, or hey come to you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: it felt natural. It felt like, oh, yes, she would
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: totally be inviting him to do that. Mm hmm, except
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: like when she showed up at school, I was like,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that's kind of weird.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But didn't he tell her to come with the daughter
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: there to help Chloe? Yeah, but he had said, like,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: she's gonna be hanging out while I coach, So that
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: was that was pre planned. That was his idea, Okay,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: not her just dropping in side note here.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I think Clayton James looks like Scott Wolf. Do you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: know Scott Wolf from Party of Five? Yeah? You don't
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: think so, you don't see it? Like at times I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, he kind of looks like Tom Cruise,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh, but no, Scott Wolf
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: looked like Tom Cruise and he kind of looks like
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Scott Wolf. Look at this photo, he looks like neither
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of those. No, it was the mouth. It was like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: when he smiled, it looked more like he's a cutie.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He's he's a contender for future editions of the shirt
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and my Phooh wow, I haven't seen him in anything else.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I don't even neither have I he was new to me.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Has he been in anything? I'm gonna look what Clayton
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: is one of my favorite names. Fyi's my dad's middle name.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I just love it. It is. Wynn calls the heart
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Brittany ever after. Oh, he's right in front of any
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: fetter Line. What why? But I think we did talk
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: about this guy before, because I remember we talked about
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: him playing Kevin Fetterline in a movie called Brittany ever
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: After from twenty seventeen, which I don't know if I've
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: ever seen. I might have to watch that. Do you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: know that he has a stage name? No, what is it?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Clayton Chitty Chitty. That's a terrible stage name. Think he
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: has changed it, but if you scroll down in his IMDb,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: he's listed as as Clayton Chitty Chitty is too close
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to shitty and fire that manager whoever said you should.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's his actual real name, if Chitty
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is the real last name, and then like you need
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to change that, dude. Yeah, Clayton James sounds like a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: country music star. Yeah. I did like the moment when
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: she goes gro striving without her list and she throws
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: her list and then she turns back around. She's like,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: let's not make a mess and throws it away. Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I thought that was that was cute. I thought that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: dad was a little bit too meddling, like he was
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: really giving your like some advice a lot well, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I felt like he wasn't supportive. She's like I met someone.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh yeah, yeah. Was it good enough? Was
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the vibe I was getting, like did you do this
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: challenge well enough? And then he was like she goes,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I have friends and he's like, oh yeah really. I
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was like that is hurtful, which dad, seriously, I'd be like, okay,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: i'll see you in three months. Like, no, my dad
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: ever said like you have friends? Really? I know that's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: not the I support you and think you're the you
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: hung the Moon dad vibe that I wanted totally. And
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: his art sucked. Sorry to whoever painted those for the props.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I wish for no more green screens. Oh well, it
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was terrible. First of all, when they were driving, I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, fine, here it is. But they get
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: out of the car and I don't know they are
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: on Mars or something. That was so incredibly bad. Behind
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: them and in front of them, I thought, Oh, when we.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: See them looking out over the land, surely we'll see something,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: because we've seen so many beautiful landscapes in these movies.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, and even when they're in that forest doing the bridge, Yes,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: they couldn't have been there, they couldn't earn twenty feet
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to the right and taking a shot of them looking
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: out over the trees. They didn't have to have anything
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: identifying the spot, but horrible. And Clayton James himself on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: his Instagram has a photo of Clayton and Emily standing
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in front of their car in front of a green screen.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. I was like, yeah, I mean, at
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: least you own it looks ridiculous when you're driving with
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: those trees gone by the window. It's so bad. I mean,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like so offensive like that. It
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was horrible. I agree. When they get out of that car,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I had a physical reaction. Yeah, me too. I was like,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: oh my god, because like I had just gotten over
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: like the car thing, and I was like totally thinking
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of what I said last week, like get a rig
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: do that? How hard is that? And then how hard
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: is it to take an outside shot? You could be
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: in the freaking behind the hotel. Make it tight, star
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: wagons are yeah, make it tight? Yeah, ar It looked
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: like somebody did, like a water painting had been stood
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: in front of it. It was I was like, what
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: am I looking at? It was so someone googled pictures
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of mountains and blew it up on their green screen.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Stand here and look at this green screen and pretend
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you see something, And I could just see them cracking up.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: They're like us, see a tree? So dumb. I hated it.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I mean I didn't even put it on my wish
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: for just because it's it's should just be given for me. Now,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Oh it's time for Did you see that? Can I say? One? First?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: In the beginning of the movie, she gets ready, she
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: goes to work, She talks to Kevin, then she goes,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: gotta go have dinner with my dad. She said, work
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: for one yeah, minute, yes, but yeah, I don't understand that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: She come with that. You know how they like break
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: up the time? Oh, but they didn't. This is this
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: was such a mistake. She's obviously getting to work in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the morning. She talks to Kyle, what are you doing
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: for your birthday tonight? He tells her, if your plans
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: are dumb, And all they had to do was her
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: turn to her computer to work, and then there's like
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a fade into her showing up at her dad's. We
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: knew she was going there that night, but.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: She goes, okay, bye, like what what I I didn't
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: really notice that scene because I couldn't couldn't get past
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: the aggressive essential oil steamer on her hand.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Every time she's in the office. It was like a geyser. Yeah,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I've never seen one that, just like I need more
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of a miss. Yeah. It was like a straight shot
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: up Like it was so crazy. It was distracting every time.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I was like, would I want to work
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: in the I like an essential oil but diffuse her
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: that's the word for it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But what I want to be like in the office
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: with some broad broad I don't know where that worked for,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: but like with hernial oils all day, every day and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, Like and Kyle comes in and he's like,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: what are we choosing today? No, I feel like that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Needs to be not a thing in an office, like
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: don't burn your candles.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Don't make your popcorn, and a shared space, don't eat
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: reheat your salmon from the nafety.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: For a long time, I don't know if this is
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: still the case of my they had a rule that
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: there was no popcorn allowed in my dad's office. Oh really,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: because it always got burned or it would just stink
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: up the entire office.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Why does it always get burned. I don't know, that's funny.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I love popcorn, you doo. I want some right now too.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: The other thing that I notice is in the morning,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: like you said, she's listening to her meditation thing or
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: whatever podcast. Yeah, every day she gets up, she dous
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the same thing. She's very organized. Like I knew, like
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you were leaning hard into it. You loved it. You
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: loved when she opened the refrigerator and everything was like, yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that's not what my fridge looks like. But she would
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: make her orange.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Juice with this like restaurant grade juice press everything, and
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I saw it would be like a shot, just a
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: little knocked back, and I was like, all that for
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: your a little shot of orange shoes.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's a lot. It's a lot. It's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a lot. And then I don't want to be a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: terrible human. But her roots were terrible. You're gonna regret that. No,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: w they were so bad though. It was so bad.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Is that a look? No, they filmed this in twenty twenty.

  Speaker 2: A tweet says I love Emily olla Up and anything
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: she is in, but her hair in this movie is
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: so bad. Salons have been open since May twenty twenty.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: No reason to have roots like that, and Emily olla
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Up herself responds.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Wait did she tag her in it? No?
• 22:55

• 23:16
  Speaker 1: going through, my friend hashtag don't forget I Love You? Okay,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: fair twenty twenty was a shit show. We've all established that,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and then go back and listen to me weep on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: this weeks Tuesday episode of the podcast. But okay, all right.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I knew that she had a baby. I knew I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: have twenty daved and I wondered if it was gonna
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: come up. And I'm just wondering if why can't makeup department,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: throw a spray or something on the head just to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: get it to blend a little bit better. Yeah, Like,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sad that she was dealing with like postpardon depression
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and in the pandemic, and I'm sure she had to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: go to Canada to work, you know. Yeah, you know, Okay,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I guess it. I feel bad, don't know. When they
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: go on to Bridge, it's definitely like misting, Like it's
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: very wet that they're out there, and that's like my
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: biggest nightmare. Like I hate when my hair gets wet
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: because it turns like a weird color and it gets curly.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And the next scene, like they get out of their
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: car and her hair's all great again, like it's all
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: blow it out. I was watching it with my daughter.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: She goes, wow her hair. Between the two scenes, I'm like,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I know, thank you.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, because her hair definitely did get like wavy in
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the mist, which happens okay. At one point, Taylor and
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Kyle are organizing a garage and he's in a suit
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: and she's in like a silk blouse and heels. They're
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: like labeling sporting goods. Yeah yeah, girlfriend, you're in yoga pants.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Half of this movie. You need to have an organizing wardrobe.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It's okay that you're not in your office clothes when
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you're in someone's garage with their sporting goods. Are we
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to say that she's like the home edit, like that's
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: what her job is like? Yes, and the home Edit
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: wears sweatpants, yoga pants, and branded T shirts when they
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: work in people's homes. Do you have to have like
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: specialized training for that? No? I feel like I could
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: just start that company, Like, yeah, I would love let
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: me organize your drawers and you pay me. Should we
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: do that? No? You don't want to do that. Too
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: many things on our plate. Too many things. Also, I
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to do that. Okay, we need to talk
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: about Sarah. Okay, yes, I have some notes. Go ahead.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Sarah is the woman who appears in their home, and
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: it takes several scenes before we even find out who
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Sarah is, which is a mistake. I know it's supposed
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to be mysterious, like, oh, maybe she's the girlfriend. We
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: find out she's the wife's best friend. Fine, he was
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: gonna propose to her without ever even dating her, That's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: what I wrote, Dan. Are we to believe that Josh
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: was going to propose to his dead wife's bff because
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: he wanted a mother figure for Chloe. They definitely hooked up.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: They hooked up. Oh, they might not have like seeded. Yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: like he's just gonna have this ring and like purpose, well,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: let's just see if we can make it happen. It
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: was weird.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: She does a complete one eighty from like finding the
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: ring and having this is this the surprise? Then Taylor
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: comes in has her full on meltdown, which I don't
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: blame her because what's happening. And then Josh explains what
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: he was gonna do, and she's like you should be
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: with Taylor, Like, but you clearly were happy to see
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: this ring and they were leading down that moment. He's like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: you said you had something for me.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: They're hinting, and then she immediately is like good with
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Josh and Taylor. Yeah, it was weird. It was a weird.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It was not even needed to be honest. Also, why
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: would you put a birth certificate in a time plow?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes, right right, and then she pulled
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: out that first two set. Was like ooh gross, but yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a birth certificate. I was like, she needs that.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Like what happens if the time council gets lost, Like
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: you bury it, you can never find it, remember where
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: you buried it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I mean it was in excellent condition for having it
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: buried for a long time. But you don't need your
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: birth certificate. You don't have a passport. Yeah, and she's
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: so organized. You're telling me she doesn't know where her
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: birth certificate is.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: She doesn't have that in a file marked birth certificate
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: important documents.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Also, did you notice that there were fake flowers in
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the dad's backyard? Yeah, it was terrible. Why do they
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: do that? It's a pretty yard. They didn't why? I know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you couldn't have gone I mean the fake flowers cost money.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: You couldn't have gone to the nursery and thrown some
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: in there. Dress some moms in there, impatience something. Yeah. Right,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: what did you rate this movie? I gave it three

  Speaker 1: Totally and it could have gone any direction. Right. She
