  Speaker 1: Before we talk specifically about autumn and the city, we
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like to talk about what's going on in the world
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of homework. And I think we're kind of in like
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a lull the calumn before the countdown to Christmas.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Storm you think, I mean, I know it's like days
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: away now, Yeah, I'm tomorrow. It starts tomorrow, Yeah, I do.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I just think we're not getting like the flood of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: new information they're like gearing up for countdown to Christmas.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: In terms of Hallmark News. Yeah, got you, Yeah, yeah,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: yeah it was.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I was scrolling through and I saw this article and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I've actually seen this mentioned several times and I hadn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: really interacted with it, but I clicked on this article
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and it is about the Gift of Peace, a Hallmark
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: movie coming in Countdown to Christmas, starring Nikki de Loach.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But what I found interesting when I looked at this
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is they're saying it is Hallmark's first faith based movie.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see how this is going to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: differ from something like A Shoe Attics Christmas, A Godwink Christmas,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: where there are references. I mean, they're very clearly Christian
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: based movies.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Right, So how's this one going to be different? Yes,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know either. We'll have to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: tune in and watch. I can't remember if that is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: on our list of movies to watch.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to take a look at our show notes,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: which you can find at Megan and Wendy dot com
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to find out all of the movies we are watching
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We have a full list over there. There's just so
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: many of them. I can't remember what we chose off
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the top of my head. Neither can I. Okay, Chesapeak
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Shores concluded it did. I I'm telling you, I'm still watching.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I'm on season two now. Oh wow, you're powering through.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I am how many episodes are in season one? Ten? Okay? Okay,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: think it's like ten episodes? Each roughly ten. I just
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: started season two. It's funny to watch back to back
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: seasons because I'm sure when you watch it in real time,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you don't notice the differences between cast members, right, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it picks up at the same timeframe. But clearly the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: lead who plays her name's Megan. I don't know how
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to pronounce her last name. It's like, oh r, why
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: or yeah, she's the pretty like brunette with the long hair.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: In season two, she's clearly pregnan and hiding it. Yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and it's a lot of like big boxes in front
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of her or big bags or big trench coats. It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the end of summer, and I'm like,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: what's going on here? So of course I googled. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: was like, is Megan what is it? Ory pregnant in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: season two? And she was so interesting, not that it
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: has any like bearing on like her character at all,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but I just was like, oh, how funny. Like from
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Date and Night.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I watched the first half of the first episode. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: only stopped because I had to go do something and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I was already in my mind watching with My Girls
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Gone Hallmark hat on. I don't know if a recap
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: series is in our future. But why you don't like it? No,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no concrete plans have been made, no
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: concrete plants, and I'm already on season two.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna be willing to go
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: back and rewatch.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Sure I would if there is an audience for it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I would gladly. Okay, I would gladly, And I know
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: listener and Michelle had sent me a message last night
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: She's like, I'm so sad at the time of this recording,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: it is Monday. She sent me a message Sunday night
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: at the conclusion of the Chesapeake Shores and nally she said,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I'm so sad it's over. I might have to go
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: back and rewatch ah, so we might get one listener there.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: If you would listen to a Chesapeake Shores recap podcasts,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: please let us know. I've been wondering if we ever
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: need to break away, like into two podcasts. Oh interesting,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Like is that going to be better for the girls
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: gone Hallmark brand to live on its own?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And then would Chesapeake Shores live there or would it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: be like a limited run like the Gilmour guys. You know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm super into it doesn't need its own podcast that is,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of course under long story short productions, but is its
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: own feed I can see the merch already. I love it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: We might have to put yeah twenty twenty three.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: If you have any thoughts on this, either send us
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: an email, drop us a DM hop into our Facebook group.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Let's discuss I'm hyped girl? Okay? Can I hear a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: synopsis for this movie? Sure thing? Optimistic Piper gives herself
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: two months to find her passion in New York City
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: as she bounces between temp jobs. She and her jaded
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: neighbor discover the beauty of the city together Starrn, Amy t. Garden,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and Evan Roderick.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned, this movie originally air October fifteenth, twenty
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: twenty two. It was filmed in Vancouver on a back
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: lot made to look like New York City. However, our
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Eagle Eyed Girls Gone Hallmark Facebook group members pointed out
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that New York City was added as a filming location.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: To IMDb, there were a couple of scenes that I thought,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: either that's the greatest green screen I've ever seen, or
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they're in New York. Can you recall which ones one
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: where they're in Washington Square Park, which is with the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: giant arch. Yeah, yeah, I thought they're sitting in front
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of a fountain. I believe in that scene. Maybe not,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but I do remember our Washington Square Park scene and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, either we have leveled up with our
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: green screens or they're there.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask this really stupid question, Okay, is Vancouver
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: on the West coast of Canada or the East coast
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: or the west coast of Vancouver is like directly north
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of Seattle. It's like very easy drive from Seattle. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you really think that they may have done some like
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: pickup shots.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it seems like if they were
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: actually on location in New York City, they'd be shouting
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that from the rooftops. So if anybody knows, or do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they just use New York as a filming location, because
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there's quite a bit of New York.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: City be role. Maybe there was a ton of b
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: roll there. Let's talk more news and notes, Okay. Amy T.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Garden obviously most known for Freday night Light. She was
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: most recently seen in the Summer's Heart of the Matter,

• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Countdown to Christmas Arizon, December tenth. This is the one
• 8:37

• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I want to watch that one too. I don't know
• 8:44

• 8:47
  Speaker 2: It Okay, I have found that well watching this movie,

• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to stay there. Oh, this is not a musical though,

• 9:52
  Speaker 2: all these people are a Christmas Carol. I didn't I

• 10:34
  Speaker 2: looking at this. We discussed it in our Countdown to

  Speaker 2: Christmas preview episode. I do not believe it is on
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: our list. He's the leader.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: No, I believe he plays one of the two love interests.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm telling you he's a baby. Tyler hines
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to me, like, I think he's real cute. His character
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Austin was a little bit problematic for me. We'll talk
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: about that in a second. But I did a little
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: bit of a deep dive on this kid because it
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: looks like a kid. I don't know how old he is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I should probably be like, I'm sure he's over eighteen. Anyway.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: He is a former hockey player. Oh, he played competitively.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that was college or whatever. He
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: also played the lead in the Netflix show Spinning Out,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: which is like an ice skating show. I never watched it,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and funny enough, he played someone named Chaz Bryant in
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the reboot hybrid of b H nine O two one. Oh.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I might have to go back and watch that show.

• 11:55
  Speaker 1: older woman in this and you know she plays a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: woman who's turning turning thirty. She's ag appropriate for this movie.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I don't have any quibbles with that. Anything else you
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: want to talk about before we talk about our first impression?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: A couple minor ones. Misty she plays the Broadway actress
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Piper works for Yeah in this movie. She's played by
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Brittany Willisey and I only know her from Chesapeake Shores.

• 12:33
  Speaker 2: big in Chesapeake Shores. Yes, Trace is the Jesse Metcalf character, Yes,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that's correct. Also, finally, Laura Sualtis plays Patricia. She's Austin's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: mom and in a six Degrees of Kevin Bacon moment
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a Fellow Girls Gone Homework group person member friend of ours.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: She is actually friends in real life with this actress
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: and she says that she does two to three homework
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: movies a year now. I thought she looked very familiar
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to me, like she's got those dimples that are very distinctive,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: very distinctive. And I was like, I know I've seen
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: her like in other things. I was looking through her IMDb.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: She's been in a bunch of Hallmark movies, including The
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Christmas Waltz, which is one of my top five movies.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But she was also recently in Netflix's Again, Netflix's Is
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That Right Devil in Ohio, which is like about like
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a cult sort of So I knew like I had
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: seen her like recently. Love that for her. Yeah, I'm excited.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like, like, e, like we know somebody in
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the Hallmark acting world. Six Degrees of Hamemark totally. What
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: was your first impression of automnicity? Uh oh uh oh.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I needed Megan to fill in some gaps of this
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: movie because I dozed off several times.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had to rewatch the end before recording.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: My first impression is those juices looked terrible. Oh oh
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: my gosh, Oh my gosh. We're gonna talk about that
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: scene in a second. Let me put this on my
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: note here. Okay, those juices did look terrible. There was
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: like a straight up blue one, and I was like,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: who's drinking blue juice?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: They were just like they didn't look appetizing, Like there
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: was no put some fake ice in there.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: People. There was like a big gap between like the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: like melty and gross and separated and who wants a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: juice that's not ice cold? Somebody in the props department
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: make better juices.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Well, while Wendy's making a note, we're gonna move on
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to what we liked about this movie.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Number one for me is I really liked Evan Rodrick.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I thought he was super cute. I think I might
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: have already said that, and I look forward to his
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Christmas movie. However, however, his character at times played a
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: real jerk, and I thought he leaned really hard into
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the stereotypes of being a millennial, Like, for example, when
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: he gets the job at the New York Chronicle. His boss,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: who I thought was great in this movie, like really
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: like nailed it. But he was like, here's an assignment
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and he's like, great, I'll have it to you by
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the end of the week. Or another time the boss
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: was like, here's an assignment, blah blah blah, and he goes, yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: something really my vibe And I'm like, excuse me, you
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: are working for a made up newspaper, sir. You can't
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: get at get your asked to work. And there was
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: even like one he comes in late and he's like, yeah,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: mornings really aren't my thing. I was like, what, you
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: have a job? Like, I know he didn't want that job.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Was he purposely trying to get fired from that job?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Like what was happening there? Did he take the job? Well?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: He honestly like he was given the job. He didn't
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: even have to interview for the job because of his mom.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: He got tricked into it, tricked into it, like really, well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: he should be an adults and say like, no, this
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: is not for me.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I know, I agree that borders on hyjinxy. When he
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: shows up and he's like, Okay, here's your desk, and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: he's like, wait, I thought this was an interview. That
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is his moment to say, look, can we talk about this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: At one point, his boss asks for edits and he's like, yeah,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to have that to you today.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I thought it's a newspaper. It's not like you can
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: just turn it in whenever you want. They got a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: big open space that they need to fill with your article.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was HYJIINXY Yes, And I just think, like,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: do people really act like that? I hope not. He's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: twenty seven in real life, right, I don't know, be professional.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Dude, right, you never know who you're gonna need to know.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: True.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I think we got our first booty call reference on Hallmark.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Austin shows up Piper's door. He thinks the former tenant
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: is still there, and she goes nine o'clock bottle of wine.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I know what this is. Yeah, And while they don't
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: directly call it out, I appreciated that. I chuckled. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: have more to talk about in that scene later on
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: in that did you see that moment? Okay? M hmm.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I liked the cast of characters in this movie as
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: a whole. I really liked the friendly couple who works
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: at the cafe. I liked Austin's mom. I thought, I
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: even told you today, I go, she's so chill in
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: this scene, Like I wish I could be chilling the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: like in real life. Like that liked, I liked. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: liked what was that a bird or something? Dragonfly just
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: flew into the baby. Yeah, weird, I wrote Keystone Cafe Besties.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I liked them a lot.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Were you taking fashion notes on Amy t Garden's wardrobe
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: after our recent Style episode?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: She wore these like clunky black shoes a lot. Oh,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: they were like black flats. They were kind of boring.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Her style choices were super boring. I thought, well, why
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: are you laughing?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Because I you know, I would like everyone to tune
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: into next week's episode On Tuesday.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Up top, we're doing.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: A little bit of follow up on our recent Style episode,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and I was watching her with a renewed eye, like
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: she at one point wore a skirt which is similar
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to something I own with like a utility jacket, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I would never.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Put those two pieces together. But I was like, I'm
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: totally gonna make that outfit. I just she was always
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: in like the stripe, black and white shirt with a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: black pant or a black skirt and maybe sometimes a
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: red jacket and maybe sometimes not. That's what I felt like,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: very fall cute, And you thought she looked boring. Do
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: you think, Okay, it's cold in New York right now,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: wouldn't she have a heavier jacket on? Well, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you and I were in New York and very very
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: early fall, and it was hot and human. That's true.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Midfall is chilly. She's from Nebraska. It's cool. She's Nebraska
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: is nothing. Yeah, maybe you're right, Maybe you're right. Anything
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: else for you for what.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You liked, Nothing that we haven't discussed.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I have just one minor note. I'm happy that we
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: got like a fall. Oh yes, I'm fall vibes. Sure
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: we got fake leaves, but really, what else are we
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: gonna do? There were a lot of fake leaves, but you.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Can't there's no way to do a real leaf.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: The one she puts on his door. Oh god, I know.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And there are scenes where they're walking down the street
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and the trees behind them are changing. I don't.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think the trees on the streets of New
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: York are deciduous changing trees, but that's all right.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I appreciated the pop up orange in the background. Okay, like,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: throw some fake leaves on that prep tree on the corner.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: What'd you wish for? I thought Amy t Garden's character
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: was almost annoyingly chipper oh and a little naive m
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and I was like, please chill out some h too
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: much for me.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I wish they had given Piper a more realistic timeline.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Two months to find your passion is simply not enough.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: What has she been doing the last thirty years.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: It's not even enough to necessarily find ad job, let
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: alone many jobs.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Totally, I think they could have easily made a longer
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: timeline work. She gives it six months, she gives it
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a year, Show a montage, show her checking in and
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: she's still in this terrible job. Four months later and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: still sketching. Show her sketching in different locations in different seasons. Yess,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: a year later and it's still fall. We can still
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: have autumn and New York and she's checking back in
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: with herself. I like it, and make it work, like
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: she has to find a job that she doesn't love
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: to pay the bills while she's trying these other things.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That's why they should have given her job at the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: cafe in the night evenings so she could like because really, like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: how is she paying the rent and she's working jobs? Yeah, yes,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: it's not consistent. Find a job that pays bills and
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: then during the day exactly. I love that idea of
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: working in the restaurant.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I just didn't think in two months. Two months is nothing.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: You can't find your passion. She had been working in
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: her dad's business, doing what her parents expected of her,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: and realizing this is not what I want for my life.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: It's going to take a minute. Yeah, I really wanted
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: this to feel like we were in New York City.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I was disappointed with how it looked esthetically. Were you
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: watching too closely? I was watching too. I love New
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: York City. I love New York City, and I just
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: was like, that is not New York City, except for
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a few moments that it was. I guess right, but
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Keystone Cafe very clearly on a back lot when they're
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: walking down the street and they got all these extras
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: crossing multiple directions the street. You can't there's no neighborhood
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: in New York where there's not multiple car strip you
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: buy at all times. You know, you can't just cross
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: diagonally across the small street corner right. And someone in
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: our group said too that they thought there was like
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a a deck scene or they went to like the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: roof or whatever, and it was the same exterior shot
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: that they used in that movie where the guy sang,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: oh my God, me me New York. I don't know
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: what it was called. Do you know what you're talking about?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking about? Broadway Stars? Yes,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the name of it. I'm sorry.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: No, I wish Austin's mom didn't suck so much.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: See, I liked her.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I like the actress. I thought they made her character
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: almost unbelievably.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Terrible to him.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Really, there's a scene, and you may have been sleeping
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: at this point, but there's a scene at the party,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and it's the party where Austin is about to tell
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Piper that she's not been accepted as the illustrator by
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: his publisher, and just prior to that, you know, she
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: he says to her, I'm sorry it didn't work at
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the newspaper, but I have to pursus to my passion,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and she says, I'm sorry, I just can't support that. Oh,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And I felt like that line was out of character
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: because this is clearly a woman who in a later
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: scene she tells Piper, you need to knock doors down
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: right right. It wasn't as if he was saying, Mom,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything, I just want to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: live off of your success or he was trying to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: be a writer. He had written this children's book. When
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: they told him to do more, he did more. He
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: created this proposal, he went back, and he fought for it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: He gets a publishing contract, and she says, damn, I'm
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: sorry that doesn't work for me. I thought it fell
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: out of character with this clearly very successful woman. Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I kind of hate you,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and I did appreciate that there was redemption. We'd get
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the One year later she comes around to be on
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: his side, and I can appreciate as a mom.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You're trying to make it work.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to get you this job because I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: think this is what you need. But once you realize he's.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Doing it, let him go them break down his own doors. Yeah. So,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I mean being a mom is hard. You don't always
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: give the best advice, right, So Okay, I'll give her
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: a little grat Okay, all right, let's talk about did
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: you see that? Okay, that juice scene. Yuh huh. She's
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: carrying those like two tiered trays of juices. First of all,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: shout out to the actor who played the fashion show
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: like coordinator or whatever. I really enjoyed her like small
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: scene of like giving Piper looks when Piper was too enthusiastic.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: But the juices, we have seen a movie in the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: last two years that we've been doing this that similar
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: situation happened, like somebody had something and like basically throws
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the juice drinks on the product and then there's this
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: whole like we have to make all these dresses again
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: or whatever. But the scene was so poorly executed in
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: this movie because literally like she dumps them, like she
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't run into it, she turns around and then like
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: throws it on it. You know, she's coming in with
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: these teetering trays of jews. You know what is going
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to happen? There was so many Come on, you're out
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of fashion show, You're not going to be more careful rights?
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: And what's the dresses? What are the dresses doing? Right there?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Great question here's my follow.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Up, Why not Postmates?
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Right? You're now paying a human person to spend an
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: hour of their time going to this far away location
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to get these juices.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: When you could just pay the delivery fee.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Right. Here's my here's another follow up. I was wondering, like,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: who paid for that? Did she have to pay out
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: a pocket for that and then gets reinbursed, or did
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: like somebody give her money to pay for those? Or
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: how does that work? Great question because they had not
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: been pre ordered, because they gave her the order. Right question? Right?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I as a follow.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Up on my wish, the book dedication in the one
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Year in the Future flash forward scene is to my mom,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: who taught me to forge my own path. And I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: just wonder did she right when she was so trying
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to force you into her past? This is a question
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in a job interview, would you be as honest as
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Piper was in her interview with the temp agency?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Not in not in my youth, I wouldn't have Maybe now,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: maybe now It could seem more relatable if the interviewer
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: was someone of a certain age, right, But if I
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: was like twenty two twenty five trying to get like no, No,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be like, I'm just trying to find my
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: dream job. That makes you sound a little flighty. Well,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that's what I wonder.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Is that an asset where she's saying I was living
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the life my parents wanted for me.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to find myself. I don't know what that is.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I think the fact that she's interviewing at a temp agency,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: not for a specific position, makes that make sense.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I just I wonder if that's good advice to fall
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think like someone my age, if
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, I've been a mom for the last
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: eighteen years and now I'm trying to like transition back
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: into the sure there, I'd be a little more transparent
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: about what my goals were. Yes, I like it anyway.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Don't you think she should have taken the job at
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the museum seemed like a real good fit for her.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: The art gallery. No at the museum, where she talks
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: to the boy who was like disinterested in like visiting
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the exhibits, and she's like, hey, did we watch a
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: different movie? Maybe she's like, hey, literally no memory, what
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: do you like? And he's like, I wish we went
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: to Hawaii. I like Sharks and she's like, hey, we
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: have an exhibit on the third floor about sharks, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: he's like all hyped for it, and then they were
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: going to give her a manager position and she turns
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: it down. I literally have no idea what you're talking.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Did I dream this while I was sleeping? Guys, please
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: email the show or jump in our Facebook group because
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I swear that would have been a great fit for her.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Can I say, get out of here with that New
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: York apartment? Nice, huge and spacious, get out of here,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Like for any bright eye kid who wants to find
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: their passion in New York City, you are not living
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: in an apartment like that. It's not happening. Not that
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I've ever lived there, but no, no, I agree. And
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: then when she gets there, she like looks out the
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: window and like she sees like the city scape. I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: was like, it looks so fake. It literally looked like
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: they put a poster on the window of like a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: New York city scape. You know, get out of here.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Here's what I want to talk about with the booty
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: call scene. Hmm okay, it was obvious to me that
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: there were scenes that were out of order there, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've caught it. Oh, that scene
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: was edited out of order in your opinion, Yes, because
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: let me explain. He comes to her apartment, knocks on door,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: hopes to see like the other person that lives there.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: They have the whole conversation about him stealing the taxi cab, right, yes,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: and they have this whole exchange. He gives her, she
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: takes the bottle of wine or whatever, the door goodbye.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: The next immediate scene is she's at some like outdoor
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: nighttime farmer's market and she sees him and they have
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: some conversation. I don't remember exactly what it is. She
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: picks up an apple and a bottle of water at
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: this farmer's market. That scene's over. The next immediate scene
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: is he's now coming. He's in the hallway again and
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: comes back to her apartment, knocks on the door, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: he goes, oh blah blah blah blah blahlah whatever. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: don't remember what they talk about, but she goes, thanks
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: for the wine and then closes a door on him. Oh. Like,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: they put the farmer's market scene in between the two scenes,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and I wish you could remember the context. Maybe they
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: had to do that because something wasn't lining up in
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the story. I can't remember the exact details of what
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: was said, but it totally threw me off because their
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: clothes were even different. So it's the next day, it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: something like the next day or next night. Yeah, thanks
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: for the wine.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense because he gave her the wine in
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: theory the day before.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: The way it's edited. Yes, and they're back in the
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: scene in the hallway and they're wearing the same clothes
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: that they are wearing. I agree. All right, are you
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: ready to rate this movie? I am three stars from me.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I really wanted to like it more. Two
