Speaker 1: one of the best ways you can do that is
1:24
Speaker 1: by leaving us a review. You can drop that review
1:29
Speaker 1: and a five star rating. In the Apple Podcast app.
1:32
Speaker 1: I would like to share a review from Renda, who
1:35
Speaker 1: was so lovely, because what you may or may not
1:37
Speaker 1: know is that if you leave an Apple podcast review,
1:41
Speaker 1: Apple does not immediately publish that. They put a hold
1:43
Speaker 1: on it, and then I don't know if they're actually
1:46
Speaker 1: reading it to determine that if there's no like whatever.
1:49
Speaker 1: It takes a few days for it to appear. But
1:51
Speaker 1: she was worried that it hadn't gone to her, and
1:52
Speaker 1: she emailed a review to us. But it did go live,
1:54
Speaker 1: and I'd like to share it with you. This review
1:56
Speaker 1: says five stars. By the way, these Girls Gone Home
2:00
Speaker 1: produce a great review podcast. It's clear they are good
2:03
Speaker 1: friends and enjoy dishing on all things Hollwark. I like
2:06
Speaker 1: that they talk about the latest news and the cast
2:08
Speaker 1: crew background work as well as the actual review. Feels
2:11
Speaker 1: like a casual conversation despite all of the prep work
2:14
Speaker 1: they do. THEREFOREMU is consistent. But I also enjoy their
2:17
Speaker 1: occasional adventure down a rabbit hole just despice things up.
2:20
Speaker 1: Listen to their podcast. You won't regret it.
2:23
Speaker 2: Thank you, Brenda. She's in our group too.
2:25
Speaker 1: By the way, thank you, Brenda. I'd like to also
2:29
Speaker 1: share one last piece of feedback. If you listen on Spotify,
2:32
Speaker 1: you can leave comments below each episode, and I did
2:37
Speaker 1: recently share that I discovered that I need to approve
2:40
Speaker 1: those as they come through and I am now doing that.
2:43
Speaker 1: And we did receive a comment this morning on our
2:47
Speaker 1: interview with Kimberly Sastad that dropped yesterday, and that says,
2:52
Speaker 1: so glad you touched on three wis When and a
2:54
Speaker 1: Boy In this conversation, it was lovely to hear Kimberly
2:56
Speaker 1: talk about Margaret Collins role in this film. Can't wait
3:00
Speaker 1: to see what this sequel has in store for all
3:01
Speaker 1: the characters who won our hearts in the first movie.
3:04
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see that play out too, that whatever's
3:08
Speaker 2: storyline Markret Colin is going to have in that movie,
3:11
Speaker 2: indeed specifically because Kimberly sassets said something about it. So
3:15
Speaker 2: I'm just looking forward to it.
3:17
Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to Kimberly Sastat's interview that just dropped,
3:20
Speaker 1: we would encourage you to do so. Also, she did
3:22
Speaker 1: say in that interview she believes that the second movie
3:24
Speaker 1: might be better than the first.
3:27
Speaker 2: I still can't believe we got Kimberly sustad to come
3:29
Speaker 2: on our podcast.
3:31
Speaker 1: I can't believe it either.
3:33
Speaker 2: Pretty exciting.
3:34
Speaker 1: It came together really quickly too.
3:36
Speaker 2: It sure did.
3:37
Speaker 1: Having worked out great. The Real West drops this weekend,
3:40
Speaker 1: so if you haven't listened to her interview, hop on over.
3:43
Speaker 1: I want to talk to some Hallmark News you haven't
3:46
Speaker 1: been paying attention. Countdown to Christmas schedule dropped last week
3:52
Speaker 1: and we recorded a two part first impressions series of
3:56
Speaker 1: the schedule and at the end of those two parts,
3:59
Speaker 1: those are available in our regular podcast feed if you
4:01
Speaker 1: haven't listened. They dropped on Friday and Saturday. We discussed
4:05
Speaker 1: some names that were missing from the count and a
4:07
Speaker 1: Christmas lineup, and in my Facebook feed an article this
4:11
Speaker 1: morning from heavy dot com appeared talking about some of
4:13
Speaker 1: those names and why they might be missing. First up,
4:16
Speaker 1: we discussed Brennan Elliott. Yeah, Elliott, on an episode of
4:22
Speaker 1: the Swing My Heart podcast, which came out earlier this month,
4:25
Speaker 1: said I don't think I'll be doing a Christmas movie.
4:28
Speaker 1: There was a script that came across my desk. I
4:30
Speaker 1: never say no, and I probably feel a little guilty
4:33
Speaker 1: about it, but I said no, thinking there might be
4:35
Speaker 1: something else but unfortunately.
4:37
Speaker 2: There was a hot take. I wonder where he turned down.
4:41
Speaker 1: I'm dying to know.
4:43
Speaker 2: Wow.
4:44
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, he is developing a series. It
4:48
Speaker 1: was first discussed on the Homewark Mysteries and More podcasts
4:51
Speaker 1: last March, but he did reveal that it is still
4:54
Speaker 1: moving forward that series in a follow up episode for Hallmark.
4:59
Speaker 2: He's developed in a series. Oh that's cool.
5:02
Speaker 1: It's a mystery series that will shoot increase, ooh fancy.
5:07
Speaker 1: He also will be at Homer Christmas Experience in Kansas
5:11
Speaker 1: City one weekend. Next up. Missing from the lineup Bethany
5:16
Speaker 1: Joy Lens. No specific word from Bethany Joy Lens about
5:22
Speaker 1: why she's not in the movie. However, she is promoting
5:25
Speaker 1: her current memoir, Jennifer Vampires, and she will be hitting
5:30
Speaker 1: the road for a book tour after the book drops
5:33
Speaker 1: in late October. Oh okay, so she's got other stuff
5:36
Speaker 1: going on. Another name missing that we didn't call out,
5:41
Speaker 1: but Luke McFarlane from one mister right sexy clause? What
5:47
Speaker 1: was that, Monna be.
5:48
Speaker 2: Mister sexy clause? Are we gonna do this again?
5:53
Speaker 1: I just remember the hot, steamy scene of the car. Anyway,
5:56
Speaker 1: Luke mcfartland is not in a movie this year. However,
6:00
Speaker 1: he is filming an unscripted series for Hallmark plus.
6:04
Speaker 2: Homes where the Heart is Yeah, he's like building houses
6:07
Speaker 2: or something, so he's busy.
6:09
Speaker 1: Autumn Racer was also called out. She was in Junebug.
6:13
Speaker 1: But Autumn Racer has a according to this article, busy
6:17
Speaker 1: building her work as a spiritual guide teacher and leading
6:20
Speaker 1: personal growth workshops and coaching clients. She also will be
6:24
Speaker 1: at the Hallmark Christmas Experience. I wonder if she's moving
6:27
Speaker 1: out of acting. Women can have it all. So Victor
6:32
Speaker 1: Wenster is not in the lineup. It such a shame,
6:35
Speaker 1: butde's busy with Hannah Swinson. A Pie to Die For
6:39
Speaker 1: does start filming October fifteenth.
6:42
Speaker 2: Are we certain that's going to be the name? That
6:44
Speaker 2: is the working title, A Pie to Die For?
6:48
Speaker 1: Okay? I believe there's another Hannah Swinson in line to
6:50
Speaker 1: film directly after that. If you're missing your favorite Hallmark stars,
6:54
Speaker 1: they're all busy. They're all doing stuff. Also notably missing
6:57
Speaker 1: from the countdown a Christmas line up is a Mahogany move.
7:00
Speaker 2: By the way, nice take that sucks.
7:04
Speaker 1: It does suck. And there's also as far as I
7:07
Speaker 1: can tell from the synopsis that we've seen and there's
7:09
Speaker 1: no strong like LGBTQ storyline, like, yes, we have the
7:14
Speaker 1: Cherry Lane Van Bennett, Vincent Rodriguez, the third Cherry Lane.
7:19
Speaker 1: That's not a new story.
7:20
Speaker 2: Why hope Hallmark surprises us?
7:23
Speaker 1: I hope they do too. Okay, moving on, let's hear
7:26
Speaker 1: a synopsis four. Love on the Danube, a royal getaway.
7:31
Speaker 2: Heartbroken after being jilted at the Altar, Sandra, a straight
7:36
Speaker 2: talk and urban art gallery manager, takes her honeymoon anyway
7:40
Speaker 2: and meets a charming European gentleman who shares her passion
7:45
Speaker 2: for art. However, trust and deception are an issue. Stars
7:50
Speaker 2: Dan Janott and Jessica Seposts.
7:54
Speaker 1: Did Jessica Seapos's character Ava strike you as straight talking? No? Yeah,
8:00
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Let's talk some news and notes.
8:03

8:13
Speaker 1: directing credits include episodes of Superman and Lois and with
8:17
Speaker 1: An E, both on Netflix, as well as Rain and Outlander.
8:21
Speaker 2: That's the real wide range of projects. It's kind of cool.
8:26
Speaker 2: Aubrey Day wrote the script for Love on the Danube
8:29
Speaker 2: Royal Getaway. Aubrey has two writing credits. His second credit
8:32
Speaker 2: is The Dancing Detective A Deadly Tango.
8:35

8:42
Speaker 1: Pinstripe on The Bold Type. He has appeared in nine
8:44
Speaker 1: Hallmark movies plus the Good Witch series, for a total
8:47
Speaker 1: of forty three acting credits. He will appear in All
8:50
Speaker 1: I Need for Christmas this count Down to Christmas season.

Speaker 2: Luck in Love, and a role in Soccer Mom Madam,
9:10
Speaker 2: which also stars Girls Gone. Hallmark fave Matti Finocchio also
9:15
Speaker 2: missing from the Countdown the Christmas. First of all, a
9:18
Speaker 2: lot of the additional actors haven't been named in these movies,
9:23
Speaker 2: so hopefully we see Maddy show up.
9:26
Speaker 1: Katherine Disher, Mark Holden and Catherine Drysdale all return in
9:30

9:42
Speaker 2: the Dragon, Returned to House on Haunted Hill, and the
9:46
Speaker 2: TV series adaptation of the book Flat Share.
9:50
Speaker 1: The book Flat Chair. I do believe that the series
9:53
Speaker 1: never aired in the United States unless it finally has,
9:56
Speaker 1: but I have been dying to see it. H Chai
10:00
Speaker 1: Faraday Brown plays Tobias. Chai has seven total acting credits,
10:03
Speaker 1: including the series Right Swipe and the surveyor Love on
10:08
Speaker 1: the Danube.
10:08
Speaker 2: Royal Getaway was filmed on location in a Budapest.
10:13
Speaker 1: What was your first impression?
10:15
Speaker 2: Remember when we recorded our review for the first movie, Yeah,
10:19
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm so happy to get a
10:21
Speaker 2: European movie with no royals. Well, I spoke far too soon.
10:26
Speaker 2: My first impression is Joe a royal name. Joe a
10:32
Speaker 2: little thing about this movie, but I thought they were calling.
10:34
Speaker 1: Him a different names, like Joseph. It was, it was,
10:38
Speaker 1: but it just felt like he's clearly from this fake
10:43
Speaker 1: country of Baldonia. So the fact that his name is Joe.
10:47
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm felt the stake as that beard he had
10:50
Speaker 2: at the beginning of them. That was the first thing
10:52
Speaker 2: I wrote down in my notes, Holy beard, I said
10:56
Speaker 2: loud when I saw it in the stripe.
10:57
Speaker 1: With a beard, I was glad it went away.
11:00
Speaker 2: Speaking of his name. I watch everything with subtitles on,
11:03
Speaker 2: and my subtitles were crazy bananas.
11:05
Speaker 1: In this it was like a swear word. When they
11:07
Speaker 1: would write his name.
11:08
Speaker 2: It was scared letters and symbols. I was like, what
11:11
Speaker 2: is happening here?
11:12
Speaker 1: Yes, all right? What did you like?
11:16
Speaker 2: I enjoyed Dan Jenot and Jessica Sipos in this movie.
11:21
Speaker 2: I feel like Dan I'm calling him Dan. That seems
11:26
Speaker 2: that seems like weird. I feel like Dan Jannot. He
11:30
Speaker 2: for me, consistently brings charm to his roles. And Jessica
11:36
Speaker 2: I thought like she had like this energy about her
11:40
Speaker 2: that I liked. But two things. One, he has this
11:45
Speaker 2: accent right in this movie, and I was like, wait
11:47
Speaker 2: a minute, is that a natural accent for him? Has
11:50
Speaker 2: he been playing like an American accent? So then I
11:53
Speaker 2: had to like google it up. I found an interview
11:55
Speaker 2: with him. I was like, oh, okay, he does not
11:58
Speaker 2: have an accent. It's so weird to me that he
12:02
Speaker 2: played a dude with an accent in this movie. When
12:06
Speaker 2: I expected it from the February, when he was in
12:09
Speaker 2: those Jane Austen movies and he played an American in
12:12
Speaker 2: those movies.
12:13
Speaker 1: I was trying to remember if he had an accent,
12:15
Speaker 1: incense and sensibility.
12:16
Speaker 2: I don't think he did. I think he played an American.
12:19
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. Oh my gosh, I don't know.
12:21
Speaker 2: I'm second guessing everything right now.
12:23
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that is not his accent. I actually
12:26
Speaker 1: have a common of his accent. Later.
12:28
Speaker 2: I have one more little side note thought, Jessica Sipos
12:33
Speaker 2: to me, looks like a very young Madonna when Madonna
12:37
Speaker 2: was Madonna Jacone or whatever her really Yeah, you want
12:44
Speaker 2: to see a picture.
12:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to pull it up. Okay, well, Wendy
12:47
Speaker 1: pulls up that picture. I'll tell you some things that
12:48
Speaker 1: I liked. I actually kind of like the animated intro
12:50
Speaker 1: we get in this movie.
12:51
Speaker 2: I do too.
12:52
Speaker 1: I think it's real cute, and they appear to be
12:54
Speaker 1: custom for each movie. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't
12:57
Speaker 1: go back and rewatch the first one to see if
12:59
Speaker 1: they're different watching them side by side, but it felt
13:01
Speaker 1: like it had some specifics for this movie.
13:04
Speaker 2: You don't think they look alike? No, you're crazy, Yes
13:09
Speaker 2: they do.
13:10
Speaker 1: No, we're gonna put a side by side of young
13:13
Speaker 1: Vianna and look at this. Can see your face? I can't.
13:18
Speaker 1: We're gonna put a side by side in our Facebook
13:19
Speaker 1: or if you want to see it and come vote
13:21
Speaker 1: if you believe that these two look alike. I don't
13:24
Speaker 1: see it. But what do I know? What? You don't
13:28
Speaker 1: see it?
13:29
Speaker 2: Their bone structure is spot on the same.
13:33
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't see it. I'll drop it in.
13:35
Speaker 2: The Facebook group and you guys can tell me I'm wrong.
13:40
Speaker 1: I also agree with you. I found Dan and Jessica
13:42
Speaker 1: to be pretty charming together. I continue to believe that
13:46
Speaker 1: Catherine Disher is a really lovely presence in addition to
13:48
Speaker 1: these movies. Yes, she just like if I want her
13:52
Speaker 1: to be on my cruise, I want to be like, oh,
13:54
Speaker 1: what wisdom are you going to impart to me? Because
13:55
Speaker 1: she has this scene in each movie where she's kind
13:59
Speaker 1: of like the voice of reason. Yeah, she like swoops
14:02
Speaker 1: in Yeah, and I really like it.
14:04
Speaker 2: I think it's nice to be befriended by somebody like that. Yes,
14:08
Speaker 2: I would be open to meeting somebody like that on
14:11
Speaker 2: our cruise.
14:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. And I think, you know,
14:16
Speaker 1: she's traveling alone in these movies, and I think it
14:22
Speaker 1: could be really easy to paint her as like kind
14:24
Speaker 1: of needy, like she's meeting this connection, when in reality,
14:29
Speaker 1: she's adding so much to the right cuation.
14:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, she could easily go like to be like some
14:36
Speaker 2: busy body of the ship or something like that. No,
14:38
Speaker 2: I agree with you. She adds to the narrative and
14:41
Speaker 2: I really enjoy it. For me, Catherine Disher, I thought,
14:48
Speaker 2: of course, we saw her in the first movie. I
14:50
Speaker 2: thought she fits seamlessly into this story as well, like
14:54
Speaker 2: it makes sense that she's there. What I really wanted
14:57
Speaker 2: to see more of was her and Reynolds.
15:00
Speaker 1: Their friendship chemistry was great. Am I like it.
15:02
Speaker 2: I feel like there could be more there for sure.
15:05
Speaker 2: And then he was like, oh, stay with me or
15:07
Speaker 2: whatever at the end, and she's like, I gotta go,
15:10
Speaker 2: I gotta get back on my boat. Yeah, oh, I
15:14
Speaker 2: liked it. Comes Brendan Penny, I gotta go, b friend.
15:19
Speaker 2: Brendan Penny.
15:20
Speaker 1: Now at the end when they're reconciling, it was like,
15:24
Speaker 1: come to Chicago, I'll show you the bean, and he's like,
15:26
Speaker 1: you can show me the bean. I have no idea
15:28
Speaker 1: what that means. Let's do it anyway. I thought it
15:30
Speaker 1: was cute.
15:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he said something early on too. She
15:32
Speaker 2: made some kind of comment. He's like, I don't know
15:33
Speaker 2: what that means. I was like, did you just were
15:37
Speaker 2: you hiding under a rock? How do you not know?
15:40
Speaker 2: The bean in Chicago is like a huge landmark? Right,
15:45
Speaker 2: how do you How are you not have.
15:47
Speaker 1: Instagram in Baldonia or wherever?
15:50
Speaker 2: Where is he actually from? Because wait, Baldonia. He is
15:53
Speaker 2: actually from Baldonia, which is a fictional country. I get it.
15:58
Speaker 2: But I was thinking like he made Baldon up no
16:01
Speaker 2: no to her because she was like, I'm not familiar anyway.
16:04
Speaker 1: Whatever.
16:06
Speaker 2: One last thing that I liked, well, two more things.
16:09
Speaker 2: I love the scenery. These on location shoots do really
16:12
Speaker 2: elevate something like.
16:15
Speaker 1: In the movie. For me, I think there's a difference
16:19
Speaker 1: between leaning into the location and asking the location to
16:22
Speaker 1: do too much work, and I don't think they're doing
16:24
Speaker 1: that here. I think the location adds to the movie
16:27
Speaker 1: as opposed to a movie like Love and Niagara Falls.
16:30
Speaker 1: Where you were asking I didn't.
16:33
Speaker 2: Speaking of Dan Janata.
16:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I thought they were asking too much of
16:37
Speaker 1: the location. They were leaning too hard. To your point,
16:41
Speaker 1: I think it the location elevates these movies, and I
16:45
Speaker 1: think it makes sense, like it all works like they're
16:49
Speaker 1: on this cruise. This cruise goes to these beautiful locations
16:53
Speaker 1: they get. In this case, they found an opportunity to like, Oh,
16:56
Speaker 1: obviously they're going to go to museums, and that makes sense.
16:59
Speaker 1: It works well together without asking the location to carry
17:05
Speaker 1: the movie on back.
17:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, What do you think about their kiss at
17:09
Speaker 2: the end?
17:10
Speaker 1: I liked their kiss at the end.
17:11
Speaker 2: I think it was pretty steamy. Actually, yes, but that
17:14
Speaker 2: was good.
17:15
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean did you love her dress? I loved
17:18
Speaker 1: her I did?
17:18
Speaker 2: She looked very pretty? Yes, I thought so too.
17:22
Speaker 1: What did you wish for? Well?
17:25
Speaker 2: I thought this movie was painfully predictable.
17:30
Speaker 1: Oh yes, am and.
17:36
Speaker 2: Hallmark formula to a t the kind I don't like.
17:41
Speaker 1: I a thousand percent agree with you. How many opportunities
17:45
Speaker 1: do you have to do the right thing and tell her?
17:47
Speaker 1: And you're just like, I'll tell her tomorrow. I'll tell
17:49
Speaker 1: her tomorrow. I'll tell her am and then she you know,
17:54
Speaker 1: you like see it happening, the woman taking the photo
17:57
Speaker 1: as they're being pretending to be engaged, and then the
18:00
Speaker 1: photo comes out, and then she says, also, I never
18:05
Speaker 1: need another movie with the fake royal ever again, as
18:07
Speaker 1: long as I live me neither.
18:09
Speaker 2: It's my least favorite trope of it all. I hate it.
18:15
Speaker 1: I really I didn't enjoy all the Actually it.
18:20
Speaker 2: Was Hygiene's light. It was yes, you know, like you're
18:25
Speaker 2: trying to like turn her away from the queen or
18:29
Speaker 2: whatever it was.
18:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the queen doesn't recognize him, yeah, bellow royal.
18:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:35
Speaker 1: I just was like, eugh, But.
18:38
Speaker 2: You know, you said, like, oh, how many opportunities did
18:41
Speaker 2: he have to tell her the truth? True? But I
18:45
Speaker 2: get annoyed with the female leads in these movies, like, yes,
18:48
Speaker 2: I understand that he's been like fibbing to her, but
18:51
Speaker 2: they didn't get like married and live a life. And
18:54
Speaker 2: then she learns right, yeah.
18:56
Speaker 1: It's been over the course of a week.
18:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I feel like sometimes she could have not
19:03
Speaker 2: she in particular, but women in these Hallmark movies could
19:06
Speaker 2: be like a little more understanding to the situation, like, Okay, yes,
19:10
Speaker 2: he is from a royal family, and I'm sure there's
19:14
Speaker 2: things Americans don't understand about royals and their protocols and
19:18
Speaker 2: their secrets and whatever. Right could she be a little
19:23
Speaker 2: more understanding why he was there undercover?
19:26
Speaker 1: You know?
19:27
Speaker 2: Not?
19:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm torn on this one because he is in
19:31
Speaker 1: a position where people have been interested in him solely
19:35
Speaker 1: because of the fact that he's a royal. Women friends
19:39
Speaker 1: want to be a part of that. But to me,
19:43
Speaker 1: that problem is solved on like day two, when she's
19:45
Speaker 1: hanging out with you for you m. She's already interested
19:49
Speaker 1: you guys have already built a rapport. I can kind
19:52
Speaker 1: of understand. But from her side, she's like, I went
19:56
Speaker 1: into all these very personal details about like the end
19:59
Speaker 1: of my and why I didn't get married, and I
20:02
Speaker 1: opened up to you, and you because you asked me to.
20:05
Speaker 1: He asked her these questions and then didn't give her
20:08
Speaker 1: the same courtesy. So well, I do think her reaction's
20:12
Speaker 1: overblown for only having known him. I also think there's
20:16
Speaker 1: an imbalance of information sharing.
20:19
Speaker 2: Sure, but also like do you air all your dirty
20:22
Speaker 2: laundry with someone you just met, like for four days?
20:25
Speaker 2: On her side too, reserve a little bit lady, like
20:28
Speaker 2: you don't need to be like, yes, I broke up
20:31
Speaker 2: with my fiance and here I am on my cruise
20:34
Speaker 2: all alone. Like reel it in. Let's a little build
20:40
Speaker 2: some mystery, That's what I say, Like, build some suspense.
20:43
Speaker 2: A little mystery between is fine, like for me. Also,
20:48
Speaker 2: I complained about this in the first movie too, there's
20:50
Speaker 2: not enough boat.
20:51
Speaker 1: Stuff in this in this movie boat stuff.
20:53
Speaker 2: I show me the cruise, show me the stuff on
20:56
Speaker 2: the cruise.
20:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really curious for movie three because this movie
21:00
Speaker 1: three is about a cruise. It's about a rom com cruise,
21:04
Speaker 1: and so I'm curious if we're gonna get more boat stuff,
21:07
Speaker 1: cause it doesn't make sense to have rom com cruise
21:08
Speaker 1: if they're just cruising through the streets of Budapest.
21:11
Speaker 2: They're like, Hey, we're going to hang out with your
21:15
Speaker 2: favorite rom com stars at this random restaurant. Yeah, more
21:19
Speaker 2: boat stuff, Well, well we'll have to see. We'll have
21:22
Speaker 2: to see.
21:23
Speaker 1: Speaking of boat stuff, another green screen moment, if we
21:25
Speaker 1: can move on to digit see that, Yes, ma'am out
21:28
Speaker 1: the windows, did you catch Yeah, it's a couple times
21:31
Speaker 1: pretty well done. Actually, I was like wondering about the
21:33
Speaker 1: logistics of that when it's just like the green screen window.
21:37
Speaker 1: But you know they're never going past anything ugly. It's
21:40
Speaker 1: always some like gorgeously beautiful location behind Reynolds or behind Eva.
21:46
Speaker 2: Right, I have only one Did you see that? And
21:50
Speaker 2: it was only that I clocked every now and then
21:53
Speaker 2: that Dan Janot would go in and out of that accent.
21:56
Speaker 1: The only time I noticed it is when he was
21:58
Speaker 1: doing it intentional. They were in the jewelry shop, pretending
22:03
Speaker 1: to be engaged, and he drops into an American accent.
22:07
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't there. It was almost like when he
22:09
Speaker 2: would end a sentence or start a sentence and it
22:13
Speaker 2: would just kind of just sound like American English. Eh,
22:18
Speaker 2: I was nippicking.
22:20
Speaker 1: There is a moment where you can tell that the
22:22
Speaker 1: scenes are filmed out of order, and you can tell
22:24
Speaker 1: by Jessica Ceposts hair. Oh, the scene when they go
22:28
Speaker 1: to Huffler's studio. When they're walking to the studio, it's
22:32
Speaker 1: a real like gray misty day and her curls have
22:34
Speaker 1: kind of turned to waves at that moment. Then inside
22:37
Speaker 1: the studio she's got like perfectly curled hair. Yeah, and
22:41
Speaker 1: then later you can see like kind of the in
22:44
Speaker 1: between where the curls are starting. Because they're walking and
22:47
Speaker 1: it's real misty, you can see the curl. This is
22:49
Speaker 1: the kind of thing I as a person with hair
22:51
Speaker 1: similar to hers. Notice how the humidity is affecting her hair.
22:58
Speaker 1: It matters not at all. Would you're right?
23:00
Speaker 2: Movie? I gave it two stars?
23:03
Speaker 1: Three? What did we give last?
23:05
Speaker 2: I'd like the first one. I think I gave the
23:07
Speaker 2: first one like three and a half stars. I like
23:09
Speaker 2: the first one a lot more than this one.
23:12
Speaker 1: I did too.
23:13
Speaker 2: I'm praying the next one is better.
23:17
Speaker 1: I think it will be.
23:19
Speaker 2: I'm just on story alone. It's gotta be better.
