  Speaker 2: a synopsis of Taking the Reins, not of Love?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do, and it's a tiny one. Via the
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Hallmark app Taking the Rains, a writer discovers what ended
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: her marriage and why she stopped riding horses.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Do you have a dog that really wants to be
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: in the closet with you?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Okay, she's outside the door.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: All right, let's hop into some news and notes about
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: taking the rains.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: All right, you go first. This movie was filmed in Connecticut.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We are out of Canada briefly, and it was filmed
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: mostly on location at meadow Brook Farm, which is in Marlborough, Connecticut,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: which is the majority of the movie. Was filmed in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Hartford County, Connecticut, and Hartford always makes you think of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls. About total of nothing in this movie felt
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: like Gilmore Girls at all to me.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But Connecticut.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I'm having trouble remembering did you actually go to Connecticut
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: this year or was that a trip spoiled?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I went to Connecticut and we stayed overnight in Hartford,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and he went to a Hertford yard Goats minor league
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: baseball game that was rained out after two innings, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: they didn't actually call it a rain out for like
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: an hour and a half, so we sat there in
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the thunderstorm, which I actually quite enjoyed. And minor league
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: baseball games like they were really going for the small
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: town feel. They had their announcers going through the concourse
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and playing games and interviewing people. It was honestly delightful.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: So we didn't spend much time there. It was about
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ten degrees with her when we were there,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: so we like pulled into town. This was like twelve
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: fourteen day road trip. I was very much done this,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: spent the afternoon in our hotel room and then only
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: emerged for the game. So I don't have much to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: say about Connecticut, but the Duncan Donuts Stadium was delightful.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So this movie was filmed in July. Weren't you there
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: in Connecticut in July?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: We flew home from our trip July first, oh to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the end of June. But yeah, we just missed them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Oh interesting, well, because I had saw on Nikki de
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Loach's good instagram. I know her last name is a
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: real tongue twister for me, m h. Anyway, I saw
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: on her Instagram she was like had a personal umbrella
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: holder guy shading her because it was so freaking hot.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: That's so funny because I saw that too and did
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: not even make the connection that we were in that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: area at that time until you started asking me those questions.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But I can vouch for the fact that it was
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: very hot in Connecticut this summer.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I Connecticut's one of those places I really want to visit.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just seems lovely to me. I don't know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have grand visions of Connecticut. I won't tell
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: you that the places we went were not amazing. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: what was amazing is we were driving kind of along
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: highway and at one point we passed we had passed
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: like five Dunkin Donuts and not a single grocery store.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So they love their Duncan in Connecticut. Well, I love Duncan,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: so I think I would just fit right in.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I did read that this movie was previously titled Love
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: at the Staple Chase. Nope, love at the steeple Chase,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I can Oh my god, my brain,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I swear to God like changes the words. Okay, say
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it for me, Megan.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: This movie was originally titled Love at Steeplechase.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Oh my Gosh, and thank god they changed. It would
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: have never been able to say it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So I did some googling, and you know, Steeplechase is
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a horse race. But I was trying to understand and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I did not come to a great understanding. I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: it refers to a type of horse race, although it
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: sounds like it refers to a place. Uh huh, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: perhaps it's both. But then there's also an Olympic event
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: called steeplechase that is like a track and field event
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: or some sort of Okay, I got very confused.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah you deep dive.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Huh Yeah, But then I don't you know, the horse
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: activity that was happening in this movie, I don't think
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: was a steeple chase. Like steeplechase is a race like
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: multiple horses racing, as opposed to like one horse doing
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the course at a time. Anyway, I think it's best
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that they changed the name.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe this story originally was about a horse race
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: horse racing, but then like scouting locations, they were like,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: we can't really make that happen, so maybe we change
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: it up. I don't know.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I don't actually have the horse racing talent that we need.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: They're unavailable right now.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: As you mentioned, this was filmed in July, Hi, but
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it was digitally recolored to give it a fall feel.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I have thoughts on that, and we'll touch on that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: A little bit later. So I have Oh, I have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a question.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I'm so, I'm still in news and notes go Ashley,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: who is the bakery owner and the friend and who
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: dates Luke briefly her. The actress who plays with her
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: name is Alana Becker. She looked so familiar to me.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Agree, me too, But I.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Looked at her IMDb and I've never seen a single
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: thing she's been in.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she had a very familiar face. Do you remember
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: anything off hand?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Wait?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: No, I don't, because every single show I had never
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: seen before. So it is still kind of scratching at
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: my brain because every time I looked at her, I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: thought it was just waiting for me to remember what
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I had seen seen her in and could not place
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: her at all.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe she just looks like someone else.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Perhaps I don't know. Perhaps don't know. But this does
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have a good cast.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, Nikki DeLoach is a prolific Hallwark actress. We
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: get Scott Porter, who we've mentioned several times Friday Night Lights,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Ginny and Georgia.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about him in a minute.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Corbin Burnson, Yeah, didn't he used to be on La Law. Okay,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: if you want to go on an adventure, you need
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to scroll through his IMDb because dude has worked. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: mean it is pages and pages and pages of credits,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: so perhaps he was on La Law.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: He's been in so many things. It was I enjoyed
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: seeing him.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And then Janine Turner. I was trying to decide what
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I know her best trap. I mean, she was in
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Northern Exposure, and I think that's what her face is
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: most familiar to me from. But she was also in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Friday Night Lights. She was, yeah, as who she was
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in twelve episodes, so I don't she played someone with
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the mother, I'm sure.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: And then she was in Steel Magnolia's.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Still Magnolia's too. I don't remember her in.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That, so yeah, I think Northern Exposure is her.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she's got like such a familiar face,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: like I knew her name, but I didn't know she
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: was in either of those Steel Magnolia's or Friday Night Lights.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And I recently just rewatched Friday Night Lights within the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: last like three years, so hmmm, I can't remember. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: have a feeling she was like married to the booster guy,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: who was like a real creep.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, I do know who you're talking about, don't I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: don't remember at all.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either, Okay, somebody's screaming at.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Us, so totally totally. What was your first impression of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: this movie?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Well, since I know zero about horses and I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: really care about like horse racing or horse jumping or
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: anything like that, I was kind of worried. But I
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: really liked this movie.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Oh really liked it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Interesting fun fact about me, I used to go to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a horseback riding camp in the summer, Sleepway Camp, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I went either for two or three summers, so I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: was I was a horse girl as a child, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about horse racing, but I enjoy horses.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I enjoy the idea of horses, So I was looking
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: forward to this movie. I would say I was pleasantly
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: surprised by the fall feeling that this movie had, even
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: though I have some thoughts about how they could have
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: leaned in harder into the fall, but I didn't expect
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it to feel like fall at all, and it did
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to me. That's okay, No, okay, what did you like
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: about this movie?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I just want to.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Note here real quick, I watched this movie twice wow,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: because the first time I watched it, I was preoccupied
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: by something else, so I only really paid attention to
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: it like forty percent, and I was like, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I have to go back and watch it because I
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: can't come on a podcast and talk about it if
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: No idea what happened.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: So I gave it another another run, and that's why
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I really ended up liking it, Like I paid way
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: more attention to it. So with that said, I liked
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: several things. First and foremost, I loved Sam's sister. Yes,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know what her character name was.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, her name is Alexandra.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: That's right. I loved her. I thought she was super funny.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I loved them together, Sam and her the scenes with
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Sam and her sister together because like Sam would have
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: like great faces in reaction to whatever, like Alexandria was saying,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you know, just they were funny. They were good together.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I want the sister to have her own movie, yes,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Like I want to continue this story with the sisters
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: because she meets that guy at the end and like,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: you know whatever. So what, I.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Loved the sister, I agree, I agree.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I liked the two of them together. I liked this
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: cast as a whole. I thought they had great chemistry together.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: The parents, the sister, the daughter Scott, even the kind
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: of ranch hand whose name I am forgetting at the Mammage.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought this entire cast had great chemistry.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And you know often you see like cast photos posted
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: on Instagram, and I saw several of those and I was.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, I believe it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I think these people actually liked each other. And Nikko
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Deloche posted some behind the scenes shots like of Scott
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Porter and I my feeling was watching this that they
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: had a good time, that they enjoyed each other and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that's fun to watch.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: It comes through it totally.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: So tell me more about what you liked, because I have.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: A love a bunch.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I loved Sam's quilted jacket. I was like, oh oh, oh,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I did several times. I was like, do I want
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: in equestrian aesthetic?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I don't, but I was literally loved her fall well
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to jacket.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I thought it was so cute, like navy blue right, Yeah, yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: that was cute. I did see her in that a
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: couple of times. That's so funny. Do I want to
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: fall a core equestrian? Look, get you some writing.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Boots, Megan.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: You can pull it off totally.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I totally think so totally totally think. So we have
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: some fried boots in my closet. They just don't fit
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: over my cabs anymore. That's all right, Bodies change sell
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: those babies, I know I should totally.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I thought the tension between Sam and her dad was
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: very believable. Yeah, I thought that was just some good acting. Yeah,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I agree, thought they were good. And then that tells you.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You know, Corman Bernston is a seasoned actor, right, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I just yeah, they were great together, great, great, great together.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I felt like that tension and like the disappointment, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I liked it. I liked it a lot.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like uncomfortable feeling. Yes, mm hmm.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: What else I loved, loved, loved Scott Porter.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Me too, I wrote, I would love to see him
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: become a Hallmark mainstay.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, I.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Mean I would like to too. But here's what it
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: is for me. I know, I always say that like
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Hallmark's not a real a real movie because he's like
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: a real actor. You know what, do you know what
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do know what you mean.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to discount. I just feel like maybe
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the Hallmark thing is your paycheck for some of these
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: actors who actually have like other regular work. Maybe.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because when you look at the IMDb
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: resumes of some of these actors, especially the ones who
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: are newer to Homark, sometimes they've been like you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: they've been in one or two episodes of a show,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: and they have deep resumes, but they don't have like
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: long time notable roles necessarily. Scott Portery, you look at
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: his IMDb. Look, he was on five seasons of Friday
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Night Lights. He was on four seasons of Heart of Dixie,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: he was on all ted episodes of Ginny and Georgia,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: he was in The Good Wife. I mean he's been.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: He is a seasoned, established actor. And whether you look
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: at like oh, Heart of Dixie and Ginny and Georgia
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: as like young adult shows, it doesn't matter. He is working.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: He is a working actor. So I hear what you
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: are saying. That said, if we're gonna be watching a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: lot of Hallmark movies, I want to see actors that
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I enjoy in them.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: So, and it's totally fair they film these in like
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: two weeks. So if he's in between jobs like hop
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in and film a Hallmark movie and hop back.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Out, Yeah, so I'm wondering because he was in Ginny
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and Georgia. Maybe Ginny and Georgia is just on pause
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: because of COVID, like they haven't resumed a second season
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: or whatever.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or had he written it or have it?
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's like, yeah, I'm gonna just you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: jam over to Connecticut for two weeks and pop out
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: this Hallmark movie and yes, be back anyway. I loved him.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: He is a good natural actor. I find him super likable.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I find him quite sexy. And yeah, I loved loved him.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Did you like anything else? Yes? I did keep going.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I loved the hot chemistry between Sam and Luke.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Are you so happy?
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I mean I wrote down best kissing scenes I've seen
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: from a Hallmark movie. Wow, I praise oh T T
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: hot off the charts?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Didn't you think so? M H. I don't know what
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: it was, but I was like, whoa, that kiss feels
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: very sexy and it didn't happen at the end. It
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: was like mid movie and yeah, I don't know. Even
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: my husband was watching it with me and he's like, WHOA,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: that's a kiss. So yeah, they had some hot chemistry
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and I am here for it. One last thing that
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I really liked. Oh, two more things I really liked.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I really appreciated how they got into the backstory of
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: why their marriage ended. And it wasn't just like this
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: like Koogy premise of I don't want to work with
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: my ex. There was like it was so much deeper
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: than that. And I will never forget whoever wrote this movie.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I really liked because Scott Porter says in it, he says,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: we grew apart faster than we grew up. And that
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: just like really solidified like, oh, they were young, they
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: were in love, they got married, it fell apart, you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: like it just totally made sense to me. I just
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: loved it. And finally I cried at the end when
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Sam and her dad talked. It was very emotional, you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: they just finally got to a place of understanding each other.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was Yeah. I thought that was
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: very sweet too. Those scenes always they always get me. Yeah,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: what did you wish for in this movie?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Not much?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: My only note is more fall mm hmmm. I wrote
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: a fall movie.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: No, and I wrote the same thing, And I think
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: it would have been so easy in a movie like
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: this to add in a fall fest, to add an
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: apple pie baking competition with the family to add in
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: something other than this fake fall color and what I
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: believe to be a green screen. When they're sitting in
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the woods, when the scene is pulled back, I think
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that's them. But then when they you know, they're up
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: close and it's like the orange leaves behind them, that
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: felt very fake. I think this movie takes place it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: ripe for fall, like you are on this horse farm.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: How easy would it be to make this horse competition
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: have a fall theme, and you've got candy apples, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you've got all these whatever else, like an apple pie booth.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I just think it's so easy to infuse things that
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: feel like fall into these movies. If you're going to
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: put them in a fall harvest lineup.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Well, see that brings me back to it was filmed
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: in July? Was this supposed to be part of something else?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Was it going to be a standalone? Was it going
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to be part of the summer nights like July, August, September?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Don't I don't know, what do you think?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I think that's you know, we know that they film
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: these pretty close to their release date. I don't it
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel like it was supposed to be summer at all.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like a summer movie. I could see
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: why they would say horses Boots fall, They just needed
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to take it farther.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I absolutely agree. And here's my biggest
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: complaint is, so far, this is the third movie in
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the Fall Harvest lineup. We've really only had one movie
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: that has fallen into like a seasonal, had a seasonal
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: like overlay on it, right, and that was Roadhouse Romance.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And next week's Love Strikes Twice.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: The previews do not give me.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Fall feels not either. And this is what I'm wondering.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, because they're putting out forty Christmas movies or
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: whatever it is, did they just like kind of skip fall,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you know, because all of their actors are working on
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Christmas content or Christmas movies. You know.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I just what I wonder is.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: You know, Well, well, I was gonna say, like, there's
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: only so much Fall you can put in these movies, right,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: but they beat us over the head with it. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Christmas the eggnog and the yeah, the hot chocolate and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the ugly sweaters and you know, like you said, they're
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: making forty one movies this year, so it would not
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: be that hard to infuse it into six movies.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know the reason.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I would almost e they I almost feel like they
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: don't need to have a category, right, some of these
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: movies just stand alone. Is it necessary for us to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: have these six weeks and call it fall Harvest?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Is like?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Is that how you draw people in? I think so
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: by categorizing it as opposed to just having these six
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: standalone movies. And so they're like, well, we're gonna call
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the movies between summer and Christmas fall Harvest, but we're
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: not gonna worry too much.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: About them actually having fall content.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I know, and I don't like that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: It feels like it's more marketing, which yes, exactly, it's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: more marketing than.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Uh actual, right, And I'm mentally prepared for fall. Give me, like,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: give me something, give me an October fest, give me
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a ride. I want a fall festival with carnival rides
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: and caramel apples, and like I want that? Who am I? Well?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Since ione trig or treating, like have a Halloween party
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: even right? Yes, yes, yes, the only other thing I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: wished for. And we're three for three in movies that
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: This is on a much lighter scale.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: But Luke goes out on a date with Ashley and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: then he runs into Samantha while they're in this bar,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and he and Samantha have this moment at the bar
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: where they start to reconnect. And I liked that moment
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: very much. I just wish it hadn't happened while he
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: was on the date with Ashley.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Because it's okay.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I think it's okay for him to have been Oh,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'm casually seeing this person, but now I'm going to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: go another direction. But you don't need to go another
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: direction while you're still actively on the day. Like I
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: think it would have been better if they had seen
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: each other from afar and then the next day he
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: says to her, We've gone out a few times, but
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: it's nothing serious. There's nothing wrong with that. That's why
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you date, you don't, you know, you figure things out.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: But for that moment to happen while they were on
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: their date, I didn't love that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I agree. I think that's a really good note.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm ready for did to see that? Are you?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Megan, I have the biggest list. Oh good, Okay,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: can I start first, please, because we're gonna start right
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: up top. At the beginning of the movie, they are
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: watching horse jumping competitions in a bar like they're watching
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: a football game. She's like yes, and I'm like, no,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: they're not showing this in a side of a bar.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Not happening right, especially not at night.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It's funny because I've mentioned before my son is in
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a bowling league and when we go at nine am
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Saturday mornings, they always have the TV's on and they're muted,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: but they're always on, like the multiple sports channels, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: nine am Saturday morning is not like prime live sports
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: watching time. Sometimes during college football season there'll be a game,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: but it's often like sometimes the one off sports. But
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, I'm like, even then, we've never seen
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: horse racing, Like even then, they're not defaulting doors racing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's not going to be prime Saturday night
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: ESPN doing No Way, No Way.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Staying up top, I would like to say Sam is
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: making a living writing about personalized dinnerware.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: She's supposed to be in New York City.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but so I had many questions because
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: we know she's a writer right away, and then she's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: talking to her mom, and her mom says, you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: will you come home for this competition? And she says,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I have to work. And I was thinking, but you're
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a writer, you can write from anywhere.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: And then we find out she's a staff writer for
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: this magazine. But I admit that I don't underst how
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: staff writers work. But she's like, I have two articles
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: that have been out. You're telling me that they're paying
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you a full time income for two My feeling is
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: like a staff writer, they might get a feature piece, right,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: but they're also like, yeah, you're gonna write copy for
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: this piece we have on like the ten best boots
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of the season and the where to go apple picking
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: in this featured location, and like you're just like churning
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: out content for them in addition to your featured piece.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: They're not paying you at a magazine.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: To write one piece a month.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and she gets to take off two weeks to
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: go to connect, go do it right, write this lifestyle piece. Yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I give you a break. Yeah, give me a break. Well.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I asked about New York City because she she did
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: live in like a studio apartment, but I didn't know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: like what city she was supposed to be in, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I thought, well, that feels realistic compared to like some
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: other movies we've seen the Sure who have lived in
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: New York and they have like a view of the
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Empire State Building. So I was like, like, Okay, a
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: writer living in a studio size apartment, that feels kind
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: of realistic. But you're right, like she there's no way
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: she's making a living based off of macromy and whatever
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: dinnerware article rightway right. She's also an uber driver and
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: works at Starbucks, so a way.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Look, I follow some people who are freelance writers on
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Instagram and they are like churning out article after article
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: after article every single day just to keep the lights on.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this is like the uh the Friends New
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: York income situation happening here.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Totally, totally.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about this a lot in my own life,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: which is weird because I don't have kids that are
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: ready to move out yet. But when your daughter moves
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: out of the house, either to go to college or
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: what later in life, would you redecorate her room or
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: would she come home to like exactly the way she
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: left it?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Totally's that's the same thing. When I saw that scene,
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, there's dolls sitting on a chair in here.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Part of me would be like I would kind of
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: keep it this same, at least a bed.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: But no, Well sure, so I think about this a lot.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know why lately it's been on my mind.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: My young my oldest is a freshman in high school,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: so I've got several years. But they'll always have a
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: room in our house. But I was thinking, is his
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: room gonna have like every little knickknack?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: No, like I.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Wanted to feel like them, but also if they don't
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: live here full time, like, it's not I don't know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna put a pink floral bedspread
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: in my son's room. Who doesn't like pink or flowers? Yeah, okay,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Well here's a question.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I know you moved out to go to college and
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: you never moved home after that, right, Yeah? Did your
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: parents keep it your bedroom the same?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: They did?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Actually, so I moved out my freshman year. I came
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: home every weekend that first year, and then I never
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: moved home after that, like Wendy said, and my room
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: stayed the same like with my bookshelves and everything until
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: they moved five years later, and then I there was
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: there were guest rooms, but there was not like this
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: is Megan's room and this is all of her crap
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: in here.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like, yeah, yeah, so that is so funny
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: that you brought that up, because I thought the same
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: thing when I saw that scene. I was like, whoa,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: it's like she left when she was eighteen. No, she
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: left when she was twelve. You know. It was very juvenile.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, so funny.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, did you catch that the sister's office was inside
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the horse stable?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: What what?
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Now? Like it's she's got a very pretty chair and
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: a desk, and it like right to her left is
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the freaking where the horses are crapping in their stable. No.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I think all of the interior sets were phoned in
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Luke's hobble.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That he lived his darklor room. I was like, wait,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: what is happening here? I think that.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, did you spend your entire location budget
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: on paying for the use of this farm and now
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you're like finding little corners in which to put all
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: of these rooms? Yes, I did notice that, and I
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: thought most of the interiors left a little something to
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: be desired.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: That's so funny.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Well, now thinking about it, like anytime they showed her
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: sitting at like her desk, like the scene was shot
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: so tight. Yeah, you're right, they're probably like, Okay, in
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: this corner we're going to have her office, and in
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: this corner is where Luke lives, you know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, my god.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: So there's a scene early on in the movie where
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Sam is talking to Alexander and then all of a sudden,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Alexander like turns away and picks up her phone, but
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: her phone never rings, And I was like, did they
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: forget to add the sound in? Are we like, what's happening?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Is she pretending to take a phone call so that
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Sam can go talk to Luke? It was it was
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: an odd stage scene.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think I remember that at all.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's like, oh, and then she picks up
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: her phone.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, either she they forgot to add the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: sound or she's faking a phone call. And it wasn't
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: clear to me.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Which Are we to assume that her phone is on vibrate?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe, but I don't think that plays very
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: well if that's what we're supposed to say.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Exactly exactly did you see that Sam when she arrived
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: at the bakery was carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. I
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: allow how to say, because you have the same damn bag, right.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And this goes back to her, I do this is her.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: You are a writer in New York and you got
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: f you bag money right right?
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: But I was like, is that her like real life
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: bag that They're like, hey, can you carry this wardrobe?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Has money for a Louis Vuton bag? Or it's fake
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: or it's fake.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, They're like, oh, she definitely from the city she.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Needs you know, yeah, or they're trying to like send
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the message like she's got family money. I don't know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: but that's funny that you notice up.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I thought it was very interesting that the family dresses
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: up for dinner after a long day of working with
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the horses, because I gotta tell you, I'd be like
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: showered and in sweatpants at that dinner table, right, thought,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: full hair and makeup and a dress.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: They're like, no, if we're eating dinner, you come down
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: at seven o'clock and you be.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Prepared, right, It's like down to abbey.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: The scene where they're at the bar and they see
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Matthew there. Matthew's the the other guy that works at.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The at ther ranchand I don't know what his job
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: title is.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's playing darts And I told her I watched
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: this my husband, and my husband goes, could he be
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: any closer to the dart board? Like he was literally
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: like two steps away from it, and just like shooting
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: these darts. We just cracked up.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: In that same evening where they have their dressed up dinner,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Sam then goes upstairs and she's riding, but she is
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: sitting like perched on the corner of the bench at
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the end of her bed, legs crossed, kind of like
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: sitting sideways makes a great picture.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Nobody rides like that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Like, first of all, maybe you're still in your dinner clothes,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: but you're not sitting uncomfortably perched on the corner of
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: your bench, like no change out.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Of your clothes, sit on your bed, get comfortable.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was funny. When the scene where Sam
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: and Luke go on their ride together, Yeah, were those
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: horses wearing hats?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the horses are you talking about the
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: ones that go over their ears. Yes, yes, most the
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: horses wear that throughout the movie. And I looked them
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: up and there's different names for them, but they're like
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: fly bonnets basically, and they're to keep their ears.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, that makes so much more sense because I was like,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: have you ever seen when like Oberman pinchers. I don't
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: subscribe to this method, but they get their ears clipped
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: and then they're casted so they so their ears remain
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: up right. And that's almost like what these little hats
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: that the horses were wearing, because the straight up right exactly.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: But that makes so much sense now that because I
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: was like, they're not cold, it's July, so what are
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: these hats for? And then I googled it as well
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: and actually then found like crocheted hats and I was like, oh,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: that's not That's not what I'm looking for.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Horse hash.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, that's not what I'm looking for.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: And then I came across those things too, but I
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: didn't realize I didn't do that deep of a dive.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: That makes sense that they are to for flies. Interesting.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting that they wore them on
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: their ride because I could see them.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Wearing them when they're jumping. They don't want them to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: have a distraction.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: They don't want them to get, you know, sidetracked by
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: these flies and their ears flicking. But I did, knowing
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: very little about horses, think it was interesting they wore
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: them on their ride as well.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: That's all. They made the horses look very regal. I
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: was like, is this is this medieval time? So what's happening?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Totally same scene? How terrible was the digital fall that
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: they added? It was awful? Right, like I wrote, am
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I watching Avatar Like it was so weird looking like
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: they had Scott Porter in like one third of the
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: screen and then the other other part of the screen
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: was like all digital Like it was terble. Why don't
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: do it? Like trees are trees. We don't need like
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: the orange brown, I mean, I don't, I don't need that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there was like it was beautiful enough there
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: that people would have just been like, oh, that's beautiful
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: and then move on.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I agree, And I again, I think there's other ways
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: to add in a fall fest. Have them carving a
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: pumpkin while they're having one of these conversations that they have,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: have the making an apple pie, have them doing something
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: shopping for a caramel apple. I don't know that there
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: are other ways to do other than these fake because
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: the leaves don't change everywhere, and I'm sure they change
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut, but like, the leaves don't change here, and
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: it's still fall, and I could still make a California.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Movie feel like Fall.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I could still be on that set and be like,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: here are all of the ways that you could take
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: this movie set in California and make it feel like
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: fall without fake orange leaves.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Call me Hallmark, Let's talk.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I mean seriously, Like, I think we have so many
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: good ideas.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of bad ideas.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: At the competition, there is loudspeaker commentary happening, happening throughout
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the race, and it's the kind of commentary that you
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: would hear on television, right, And the announcer says things like.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Not a great run. She's okay as long as she
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't get in her head. She got to work cut
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: out for her.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: But these are comments being made over the loudspeaker so
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: that the writers themselves can hear it. Y. I just
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: it seems that the loudspeaker should be like And next
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: up is Sam writing Joey and her time was this,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: or she got X number of faults, but not the commentary.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: The writer doesn't need to hear that. It's like the
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: baseball player. You're like, ooh, he's you know, can't get
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: that fastball. Like the picture doesn't want to hear that.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: You don't say that to the picture, and so it's like,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: you know, the how bad dang Mike Troud who hasn't
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: hit a home run in three weeks?
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Like it?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Like, I well thought it was odd, And again, I
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: think it would have been very easy. We know that
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: there's not going to be like televised commentary, but you
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: could have set someone up in a booth with a
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: microphone and pretended like that's not the loudspeaker commentary we're hearing.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that would have been a better idea. Or
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I was going to suggest earlier this year there was
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: like that scheme movie. I can't remember that. It was
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: called Yeah Yeah, But they did it look like we
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: were watching ESPN, Like they had like the little ticker
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: thing at the bottom and all that stuff.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: So like they're supposed to believe this is a televisable
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: event based on the beginning of the movie.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Right, exactly, and that it was like the biggest competition
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: of the year.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Having two people sitting like at a table with microphones
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: as if this commentary is being played somewhere, I think
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: would have been a better option.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Agree prior to this this is my very last Did
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: you see that when Sam takes over riding for her dad,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: which how stubborn is her dad? First of all, like
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: yours just breaks his arm or does pop him back on?
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I'm still gonna ride this? I was like, yeah, definitely
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: dad vibes there. So when she jumps on like the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: horse for the first time and they're all watching her
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: and they're like trying to build this tension as she's
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: like going round and round and round, and the ring
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: right before her like first jump, but it just kept
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: going round and round, and like you would see like
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: their family like is she gonna take the jumb is
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: she gonna do it? And then finally like they do it,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: and it was like that was lame, but it just
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: they were trying to build all this tension. It was
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: like this never ending scene and then they had these
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: super weird camera angles, like almost if she was wearing
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: like a go pro.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Gobro Yes, it was so weird.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: It was bizarre, bizarre.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Agree.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you said you really liked this movie.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: What does that translate to in a rating?
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I gave it three stars.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Half I almost want to knock half a star off
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: because of the fall situation. But I really loved Scott Porter,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: and this was really the first movie that I was like,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: oh into the chemistry that the two actors had.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: So three stars for me.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: And I really love this set between her and her dad.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: So yeah, three stars.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Well, next week is Love Strikes Twice, which is a
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: bit of like a second chance time travel love triangle situation,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: so it will be interesting to see.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: How they do that.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: The previews say that she's thirty seven years old and
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: she goes back in time fifteen years t when she's
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: twenty two, and my husband's like, we're supposed to believe
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: she's twenty two in these scenes, or is like her
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: thirty seven year old self reliving. Sometimes those things don't
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: work so well, Like it's not like Marty McFly as
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: a high schooler going back in time as a high schooler.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: So we shall see.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to suspend our disbelief in that one.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: But that's movie four next week. I really like that actress.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: She was in Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist Yeah, in the second
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: season and which by the way, was canceled. But they're
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: making a Zoe's Extraordinary Christmas movie. But yes, wait movie
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: like for TV or for theater? No, it's for Roku.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: But what I haven't figured out is is it only
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: like if you don't have a Roku player?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Will it stream anywhere else? That? I don't know, So
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: there's a sidebar on that one.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Don't forget to.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Come back tomorrow for our Hallmark Countdown to Christmas preview special.
