  Speaker 1: a Keller Christmas Vacation Miracles of Christmas Restored.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, breakout the tissue, we need a kill Nex collab totally.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: My first impression is one again. I say, when are
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we taking a trip to the holiday market?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. We got to talk
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk what we liked about this movie. Well, first,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for me, I thought the sibling trio was super believable.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: We have Cal, Dylan, and Emerie.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: They just all worked. Yeah, they bickered like family, they
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: tease like family, and still somehow they had each other's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: backs like when it really mattered. I just thought this
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: dynamic felt real. It just it all worked together. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: incredible casting too. I thought, I totally agree. I loved
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this trio.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And Jonathan Bennett posted he was like, what do you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: get when you put Aaron Samuel's Superman and Sue Heck
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: in a movie together and it's movie magic. Honestly, it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: great sibling casting.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, like him and Brandon Ralph looked very similar.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I read an article where Brandon had said, like they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: look like siblings, and so they finally got to play siblings.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they I don't know, it's just like the dark hair,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the futures they It's totally believable to me, totally, totally,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: one thousand percent great casting. I also just real quick
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: about the siblings. I loved the moments when they had
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: like real talk, like the not the like bickering, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the scene, especially when they're in that barn hotel and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: they're all sharing that one room and the boy the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: boys are on the ground and sisters on the bed
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and they're talking and then they share like I love
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: yous I got I wish I had relationships like this
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: with my own siblings.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a great one. And then the one
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: where they say, hey, we need to have a sibling
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: chat and they go to talk about what's going on
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: with Dylan and William because William has shown up and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: they can tell that there's tension, and I like that
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: they have their own little sibling moment, and they all
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: kind of also talk about other ways in which their
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: life is falling apart a little bit. Yeah, quick, little
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: like like the opening sequence with the family photos. I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: thought that was well done and on theme with the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: movie Mitya. I loved it, Like some of the funnier
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: lines in this movie, you're so touchy when you don't
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: have your morning protein. Yes, and William's like me at
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: one of my brother's family football drafts. In terms of comedy,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of physical comedy on the part of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Bennett, which he does so well when he gets
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: stuck in his later hose in when he smacks his
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: head on the stealing of his bedroom. And the dock
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: running scene. If you're on TikTok and you haven't seen
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: videos of dock runners shot by fellow cruisers as their
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: shipmates try and make it back to the all aboard
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: call times.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Oh sprinting down the long docks.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I thought it was great.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I love that scene. I know it was a little
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like it's a little hygiene see, but not so much
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: like you know, they're riding in on this like motorcycle
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with a sidecar and they're like, right here, that was funny.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: That's that's It feels like a nightmare to me, Like
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that would be my biggest I would be like, we
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: have to get back to the about two hours early
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: before it leaves because I don't want to be left
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: behind one hundred yeah. No, speaking of funny lines, it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in my digit see that's but I'll just since you
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: dropped yours here, I had a few that I thought
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: were really funny. Jonathan bennisys one time, I'm not an athlete,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: but you should see me on a pilates reformer I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: thought was really funny. Also Emory when they get to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that bar and she goes, why do I feel like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I'm in the future of a true crime podcasts? I
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: love that. And also when they were sleeping in that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: room at that barn, Dylan makes reference to the creepy
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: elf that's above him and he goes, have you seen
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the creepy elf? The trauma is real? And I was like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: if you know, you know? That was great, really good. Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I liked the slow burned storyline for cal I thought
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: his backstory was a lot. I'm going to talk about
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that and my wishes, but I like that he meets
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: like this gal on a cruise and he's single. He's charming.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Felicity clearly agrees. I like their growing connection. I was
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: rooting for them. I liked that it wasn't like I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: love you at the end or anything, you know. I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was like, Ah, they met each other and let's see
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: where this goes. I really enjoyed that you mentioned the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Leader Hosen. I loved it. I thought it was hilarious.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: That's it. I just thought it was funny that somebody
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: took his clothes and then now he's in the Leader
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Hosen yep, from top to bottom. I just I thought
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that was hilarious. I loved the redemption for William. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: was so sad. I'm going to talk about it in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: my wishes too, but I was so sad that the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: parents brought him into what was going on there, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the dad's like medical stuff, and that he had that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: weight to bear, and I just thought that was so unfair.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So I loved that they apologized to him at the end.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I loved William in this movie. Ye.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: William has so much warmth to his character.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Oh so good.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I really loved him as well. I like the moment
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: when the parents have let the kids in on what's
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: going on with dad. And I watched this movie twice,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and when I watched it the second time, I was like, Oh,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it's so obvious, knowing what I know now, but when
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they say we're not the only ones who know, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I was like.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: William knows. Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And Jonathan Bennett as Dylan's face as he has that realization,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: all the emotions that cross his face. That was a
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: really emotional scene for me. The kids reacting to the parents.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was too much. And this is
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: why I think it is because of the age we are. Yes,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: we have aging parents. Yes, like dealing with this stuff
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: feels very real. Yes, I truly truly thought the writing
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of this script treated this storyline with such care. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: really appreciated it. I did too.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I also really appreciate the way they handled Emory's career
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: path we have. I think it's very realistic while also
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: honoring her passion. She's like, look, I gotta pay the bills,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to take a real job, but I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: am going to commit myself to trying to make my
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: passion into a full time reality. I think that's realistic, right,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Like she's not blowing it off, but she also knows,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: as she says, the economy has not been kind to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: her generation, right right. They handled it well.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And that moment with her parents where she's talking to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: them and they're like, why aren't you doing this more?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: And she was like, what are you talking about? Like
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I need to pay my bills. I thought it was
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: nice that they're recognizing that life is short and they
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: want her to be happy.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: To be happy, I'm telling you Miracles of Christmas. Yeah,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like maybe we might have been. This is
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like a gotcha movie. You think it's going to be
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: like and it's comedy. There's a lot of comedy in it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: but it really gets you right and like good. Yes. Oh.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: The one other comedic line that I had in my
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: notes was that's right, Captain glue Vine.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was hilarious, right. I love that he
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: got hammered on whatever that like German wine was or whatever.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Two more little things, no, three more things. I loved
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the proposal between William and Dylan.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Proposal.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved all of that. I thought the final
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: scene of this movie was like, I couldn't believe how
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: much I was crying watching the final scene as the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: sons are helping their dad along the ice. Oh, oh
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: my god, Oh my god. And then it has this
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: song playing, which the song I don't know what it was,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: but the line in the song was no matter where
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you go, let Christmas bring you home. Oh my god.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I am a hot mess watching the end of this movie. Yeah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a hot mess. One final thing you talked about it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Christmas markets and your first impression. The Danube sells
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: itself here, like, take me to a snowy European market.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. I know.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I want to go on a Christmas market cruise.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I think that is like a huge bucketless item. Now,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: me too, I'm gonna mention it here. It's in my
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: did you see that? But the floating heart light in Vienna?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, looked like me too. That exists me too.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I loved that floating heart light. I've been all in
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. I watched so many TikTok videos of
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it last night.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's funny. I loved it too.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I have to see it in person. I know. Yeah,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: very cool.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Let's talk wishes.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I have just a few, yeah, same, very few. My
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: first one is about Col and his backstory. At the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: very top of this movie, we get a ton of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: information about Col's baggage a little too much. Look, they
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: could have just made him recently divorced guy and goes
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: on a family cruise like, I don't know why we
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: needed I'm divorced and I have this long crush on
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a friend who, like our timing didn't work out. What what? Why?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Why why do we need all that, especially.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: In a movie with so many storylines.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was bizarre. The divorce was enough. Yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: My other wish is me thinks that Sue heck as
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Emery could have used a little bit of lip color. Oh,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: but she would just bare lip the entire time. I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: just was like, dress this girl up a little bit,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: okay all And then my final wish, the Christmas tree
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: ring was really quite terrible. Uh huh, But I loved
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the whole proposal, and I know it was like a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: replacement for like the ring that was back at home
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and whatever.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But right I was like, oh good, you kind of
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: touched on my wish. But it's the Dylan and William conflict.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: It's so drawn out in the movie, like they have
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: so many confrontations where ohays like, please tell me what's
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: going on and William can't say a word, and it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it's frustrating as a viewer, And when you have all
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the information, you understand why.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But it's a hard it's hard to.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Watch, and I guess maybe that's real life, but I
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: just have to wonder, Like you said, it is so
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: unfair that his parents put him in that situation. It
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just was potentially very damaging to their relationship.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Oh totally, so I thought.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I found that very frustrating. And again that sort of
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: decision making maybe real life, like we reached out to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the one person we knew, who we were close to,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: but who might be able to help us out here,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and then that inadvertently had a.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Little bit of a butterfly effect. That was hard for me,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you know, because there's like hipA violations and stuff like that. Right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Like Williams by law can't tell Dylan any of this stuff.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's a hip of violation because he's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: not their patient. Like, oh, that's like your friend. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: don't think he's that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He They just came to him for advice or recommendations
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Right yeah, but still like, don't put this
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: man in the position when the parents are not ready
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to tell their children about what's going on.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Like ah, and and Dylan says, like, they're right. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: would have told everybody if they had come to me
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: with this information, I wouldn't have been able to keep
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it to myself. But it's complicated. One last tiny wish
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: real missed opportunity not to have Catherine dish Or make
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a cameo on board.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I agree, I absolutely agree. But did you notice it
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was a different Yes, it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Did cruise line cruise line indeed.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, oh, that's so interesting, Like why
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: they why Hallmark couldn't have like not that Hallmark production
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: whoever couldn't have like struck another deal to highlight the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: same cruise line as they used before.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows it?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: To me? It looks like they actually shot a lot
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: of stuff on this boat.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's actually in my legs. Remember how you
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: always wanted more boat stuff, a lot of boat stuff. Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: more boat stuff.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I really love the white elephant exchange too,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: with the other passengers. It's so fun, so fun.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: The contrast of that, like the the fun joy of
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the exchange and then the dramatic way in which it
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: ends really well done.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh when he goes down, I went.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's it's a real gut punch because you
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: get so caught up in the like I love a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: white elephant exchange and the stealing and it's so fun
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and yeah and then oh.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: No, oh, no, you know, shout out to McLean Nelson.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: He he can do drama. Really I wouldn't. I don't
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: want to see drama. He can do drama really well.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But the presence of love was very dramatic too. Yes,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is drama the right word I'm using? Yeah, I would
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: say these are that was a drama anyway. He's a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: good a romantic drama rather than a romantic comedy. Yeah,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: this is like a dramedy. Yeah, that's definitely what I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: would call this one. Well, let's talk to you. You see
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that I already talked about several things, but I have too.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: We didn't talk about the gingerbread masterpieces when they well,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: first of all, they're building their their gingerbread house and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Dylan is putting on the top
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of it that makes it like all crumble apart, like
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I know, like so Cal wasn't holding it, but like
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Dylan was trying to put like a roof on it
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: or something that whatever my digit see that is. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious that they had the ruins of POMPEII. Yes,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that's final thing. I thought that was hilarious. I thought
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it was really good. My only other digit see that,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and I wondered if it was intentional. Now, the mom
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and dad are in their room and he's like putting
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: his shoes on and they're getting ready to go. He's like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I just gotta tie my shoes, and then he stops,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: like mid shoe tie, and then just puts his foot
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: back down on the ground. And I was like, oh, well,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is that like a Parkinson's thing, where like, yeah, is
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that a tell or did He just was like, Okay,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: we're not actually going anywhere, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what about you.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I have a couple of little things. One at the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: first Christmas Market. The Noah is speaking and he's like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: this market fills the whole park, but all we can
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: see are a few stands and it looks really tiny.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: So I kind of was like pan back a little
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: bit because I know they were there during the actual
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Christmas markets. Obviously, you know, we see the Hearts of Vienna.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I know, you remember when we interviewed Jonathan Bennett last year,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: he was like, I'm leaving for a movie that has
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to be shot during a specific time of year, yep,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: And we were like the holiday markets, but he did
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: not come firm but yeah, so I wanted to see
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: more of that. My only true did you see that?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Is Dylan and William are walking and Dylan is telling
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: William about his frustration with his job, and William says
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: he'll figure it out. And they both have earpieces for
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the tour in and Jonathan reaches for his and then
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: he puts his hand down. And then the next scene
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: they turn to face each other and then they both
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: reach for their earpieces to take them out, and I
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: felt like it was like just a slightly early cue
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: for Jonathan. Oh interesting, but the emotional moment was so
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: strong that they're like, let's leave that take because they
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: were connecting. Finally. Just a fun fact, I read a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: little interview with Eden Chair about this movie and she
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: says she became very close friends with Anandaci Barchia, who
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: plays William in this movie. We were fast friends. We clicked,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: We immediately ticked off one of the key requirements of
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: any lasting friendship. We were snarky on the side together.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh that's fun. And I would like to say that
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Eden Chair is a delightful follow on TikTok, so give
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: her a follow.
