  Speaker 3: co hosts Eric from the Hallmark Mysteries and More podcast.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us, Eric, glad to be here. Oh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: tell us a little bit about how you became a
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Hallmark movie watcher.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: How I became a Hallmark movie So the story all
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: goes back to way back when in my young childhood,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: but back in I don't know. I'd late to around
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: twenty eighteen or something like that. About five years ago now,
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I was just cruising the channels and stumbled upon Somervilla
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: And if anyone seen Somervilla, they know why. Instantly became hooked.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: To this day, I think it is the best Hallmark movie.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: But so I'm always been a round com fan, So
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I started watching it. I didn't even a Hallmark really
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: channel existed, and I assumed if it did, it was
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: for like Grandmas and everything like that. I guess maybe
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I associate more as a grammar or something. I don't know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: But so I watched Somervilla, really got into it, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: then I slowly found myself on weekends just start watching
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: more and more of them and just enjoy it. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the fun escapism. I think I do okay, knowing like
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I don't take them too serious. And you guys have
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: your podcast, I'm sure you get the dms where people
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: will hit you up with like all these like minutia
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: things that that couldn't happen in the real world, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I just happily go off to Hallmark Universe.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Wendy has often said that she Hallmark Movies and Mysteries
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: puts out better movies than the Hallmark Channel.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Agree or disagree, Well, they're just it depends on what
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: you mean by better. They have more depth. I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: like the mysteries. One of the things that's different about
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: the mystery is it usually has multiple episodes, so you
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: can develop characters and you don't have to resolve everything
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: in one hundred and twenty three minutes, whereas and then
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: the dramas also just tend to be a little more
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: like I say, movies with more depth. They don't have
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: to end with a conflict slash romance thirty seconds later.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: But like, I don't know, I like Hallmark movies. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: like the romance, I like the cheese. I like all
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: of that stuff too, So it's just a little different better,
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: can't say worse.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: So countdown to Christmas is coming.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: If you had to pick one movie that you're super
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: excited about, so.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: You're gonna make me like pie, I don't know it's well,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I will say it's the one with Catherine Bell and
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: James Denton, just because I'm excited for the good Witch reunion.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: I love them together. Yes, but I'll say just overall,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: there's only two that I have issue with talent, And
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I know you guys have like there's something that you
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: said you want to see, some you don't want to see.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: There's none that I looked at and just said, oh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I don't want to see you. But I just really
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: like so many fresh faces. And I don't know if
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: it has to do with the strike and all these
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: like young Canadians are happening or whatever, but I.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Feel like they might also be acquisitions too, like movies
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: at Hallmark picked up just in case they needed to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: round out their slate, so they weren't necessarily produced with
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Hallmark in mind.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: We'll see by the quality because the acquisitions we can
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: talk about. That other one we don't talk about, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: their acquisitions are terrible.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: So yes, I agree, Well I did for that Catherine Bell,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Jean Stanton movie as well. That's a great cast all
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the way around. In terms of countdown to Christmas. What
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: can people expect from the Homewark mysteries and more podcasts?
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: What are you guys planning to do?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: We just dropped our preview because for us, Christmas starts today,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: because there's four weeks in a row of mysteries. So
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: for us, this is the big highlight and then it
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: kind of goes off and we're in romcom world. But
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: there is Victor Webster who a very big fan of
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Victor Webster too, and he's in the Mystery of Mistletoe Lane,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: so we do. I'm curious if it's an actual mystery
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: or if it's like Santa's Steakout.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I like sa Mistakout.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know you did.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: And Paul Campbell can do no wrong. What we say.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: It was good, but it wasn't a mystery.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a mystery.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I agree, yeah, And I just never thought they had
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: romantic chemistry. I thought it was a fun movie.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I just never Yeah. I don't disagree with that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that either. I just thought it
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: was fun. Yeah, it's fun.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I'll give you I'll get that are you ready to
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: hear a synopsis of love?
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Of course?
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Who were doing our discussion?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah? You want me to go right too. Amy is
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: helping her daughter sell into college and lands a job
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: to help with the annual Fall Harvest Festival. When Amy
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: meets Noah, a charismatic, well traveled professor, she learns more
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: about herself and discovers a new life of her own.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Let's hear first impressions, and we're gonna go ahead and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: start with.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: You, Eric.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: My first impression is my wife works for hire ed,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: and there's no way somebody could get hired within like
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: one conversation. To hire someone takes about seven and a
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: half years, and in talking to you, like seventeen layers
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: of people.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: The reality of it, though, is this movie is absolutely adorable.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I loved it when it first happened, and I was
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: when I saw your list. I wanted to do Pumpkin
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Pie Wars because I like that one, and I should
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: have been on there so I could have fought with you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Because it is good.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: It's Team Windy, yes, and but this movie is just adorable,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: and I'm so glad that I watched it again because
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: it just reminded me that it's really, really cute. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: one of the biggest crimes out there is that Kelly
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Rutherford is only in one Hallmark movie because she killed
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: it killed it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Well, that's my first impression. If I may go ahead,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: bring Kelly Rutherford back to Hallmark because I was shocked
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: in scrolling her IMDb. She's perfect in this role on
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: this channel.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Why only one movie?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Let's.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Start a campaign. Yeah, justice for Kelly. Yeah, Hey, what's
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: your first impression? My first impression is you had me
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: at Marco? Oh? How cute? Was a Marco polo scene
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: in both that was?
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: That was pretty cute.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I at the end when she's looking for him Marco Marco,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, I loved it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Wait, you don't do that with your husband ever, when
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: you're like out at the valet.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, how he would be so embarrassed. Could
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: you imagine? Could you imagine my husband?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: The hell? My husband thinks it's hilarious to just like
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: wander off, Like We'll be out someplace and he just
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: like wanders and I'll realize that his phone's in my purse.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I'll go to Colin and that's like classic. My husband anyway,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: So yeah, he would not play Marco Polo with me
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: in a home depot. All right, well, let's talk what
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: we liked about this movie. Eric, We're gonna give you
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the floor to begin.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, So, as I said Kelly Rutherford, she well, first
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: of all, the writing and the directing, we're just fantastic.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: And to get ready for this, I talked to both
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Lee Friedlander, the director, and Tracy Andreene to get a
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: little bit of their thoughts.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: And wait, casually drop right there?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Are you like dropping into their dms?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: You contacted them?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Chat with you? Don't chat with people? Well, you
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: guys are snarkier than I am. I'm nice.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, people like us.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Let's be cool other than other than Candice cam remember
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: people people like us. I'm nice to everybody.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: People dropping dms. But I don't think we've ever just
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: like directly reached out.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Do you reach out like via DM? Are you emailing them?
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Is this a phone call? Explain the process to me.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: No, it's it's mostly like dms, but it should chat
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: and sort of. And then when the movie was coming up,
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: I'm like, Hey, I'm reviewing your movie. What do you
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: got from like Tracy, because I interviewed Tracy way back
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: when she's awesome, and then when I was talking to her,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: she's like, Hey, talk to Lee, and so I talked
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: to Lee.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: You're so well connected, Eric.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Well, that's one of the other great things about Homemark
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: is the people associated with Hallmark are so willing to
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: engage with fans, Whereas, like I think if I were to,
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: you know, say hey, Tom Cruise, you know, tell me
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: about Mission Impossible, and like you're like hanging there, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: have a feeling he wouldn't be like getting.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Back or he's going to leave you on Red probably.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: In Ruining X. They're going to get blown up by
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: everyone listening to your podcasts starting trying to chat.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: They're going to get blown up by us. What are
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: you talking about?
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: So one of the things that Tracy said too that
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: was really interesting was this was her only movie that
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Hallmark didn't touch. They what they wrote and what Lee
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: produced just went boom. They didn't have to because the
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: other person, who we don't like to talk about the
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: previous regime had was of control freak and would do
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: a lot of things. But yeah, the movie was just
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: great and I have to agree, and I think, Kelly,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I'm not the hugest Cameron Mathison fan always, but this
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: favorite role of his, I thought the chemistry between the
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: two of them was just off the charts. I also,
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: for me personally, I realized watching this couldn't have been
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: better timing. So I'm a little bit older than you,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: with my kids a little bit older than you. I've
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: went through both of them going off to school and
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: all of that. But what just happened. I just over
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Labor Day, my daughter moved to Boston to go start
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: her career over there, and so I had to you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: move her. Well I didn't. She drove across country and
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: then my wife and I flew out and met her
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: there because we're too old to be driving across the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: country for things like that. But then we got there
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: and you know, took them to Akia and all the
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: places to buy all their furniture and everything. But I
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: totally was relating to Kelly because my wife was just
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: dying wanting to get her apartment all set up, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: my daughter's pace was a little bit different. She'd like
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: build one thing, like Okay, I need to take a break,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: and so we left and things were still unpacked, but
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: I really like, I say, watching this again, I just
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: connected to it personally and emotionally, so that was awesome.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: The other thing I really liked, and I'll go back
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: to Kelly, was she had a character that could so
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: quickly and easily be unlikable, but she would always like
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: take it right to that line and stopped, and she
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: gave like the best looks that just sort of be
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: like over to Cameron. When she would say something, it
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: would just be that like Okay, I'm kind of digging you,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: or Okay, you're wrong and you really need to do this,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: you know corn maize and thing. But just like she
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: was able to just do that non verbal acting. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: thought that was just fantastic in this movie.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I always love a second chance romance story, and I
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: loved that Kelly Cameron pairing was amazing. I agree Cameron
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Mathieson isn't like my number one always, but I think
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: he was fantastic in this role. It kind of sometimes
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: gets relegated to like the dad roles as supposed to like.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Leading man role.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I loved when Kelly said, why would an agriculture professor
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: refuse to put roots down? I just loved that writing
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: moment and I love a fall movie that feels like fall,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: like a fall festival with a corn maze. Yes, please
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: all of it. It was such a joyful experience to
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: watch it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. I thought this was such a
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: nice Fall movie. It was esthetically pleasing to look at.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: And we had a little bit of like fall weather
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: here yesterday, so like like.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Seven Mile to Southern California fall Weather.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I was hyped. I was like, I'm all in, I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: decorated with make it like it's it's happening. I thought
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: they Cameron and Kelly had fire chemistry. And I had
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: read some of the IMDb reviews, which we all know
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: that they're always not very good, but some of the
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: reviews said like these two have no chemistry, and I
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: was like, are you kidding me? Like the dance floor scene,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: first of all, a guy who gets out on the
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: dance floor and does does country line dancing, Like, I'm
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: all sold, Yeah, totally, I got a story for you
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: tell us.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: So that's one of the things that Lee told me
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: that they all went and they did line dancing lessons.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Fun.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: But Cameron was already like very good at it. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: believe that, So I love that scene. Because it felt
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: so much like a real date.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: It did absolutely And then as that song ends and
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: the slow song starts, like there was just passion between
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: these two. And then not only that scene were followed
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: by the porch scene right after where he wants to
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: go in and kiss her and she's got reservations because
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: you know she's dealing with a lot of baggage, but like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: oh so good.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: So it's a sign. I want to talk about Cameron
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Mathieson for a second.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I know you said that he's not your favorite. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: know he's not your favorite as a Hallmark newcomer like myself.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen him in a lot of stuff. I
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: thought he left for the other channel. I don't really
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: know the backstory there are you guys familiar.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: He's the only one I know of who's had a
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: decent presence over there, who's come back.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Who's come back? He's not doing both?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Is he do?
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: We know? Yeah? But I think he's only doing Is
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: he doing anything other than Hannah Swinson?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I haven't seen him.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: He's not in anything counted on.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: A Christmas right, He's not. I don't know. I have
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: to put those like personal feelings aside. I think he's
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: a really good actor, and I think all his years
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: on soaps have like really enabled him him to emote
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: with his face, have a natural reaction to like what
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: his co star is saying to him. It's he's just
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: not reading the lines.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's something to be said. He has
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: over thirteen hundred episodes of soap operas between all my
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: children in General Hospital, and I think there's a lot
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: to be said for all of the screen time that
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: that has given him, and all of the opportunity to
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: play opposite other actors.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I think he's good. I'd like to see him in
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: more things on our channel.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: And by the way, when I say he's not my favorite,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I don't dislike him by any means. Yeah, it's sort
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: of one of the I wouldn't go to my way
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: to see him, but I don't avoid him right either.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: He's great. As you know.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: In the Hannah Swinston slash Murder She Baked, I.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Thought that I've only seen the most recent one. I
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: thought that was a good movie. Yeah, I thought that
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: was a good movie. Like Eric, I found Amy's storyline
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: super relatable. We Meg and I both have kids who
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: are in high school and we're coming up on that
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: kind of midlife like ant nest, empty nest, What am
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I going to do with my life? So it's nice
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: to see Hollmark kind of share those narratives. If it
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: felt like.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It was for me, Yes, I know well that you're
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: comment about wanting to set up her room when her
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: daughter's like.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: No, no, I'll do it later.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I thought, but you're not going to do it as
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: well as I could help you with. It's not going
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: to be as good as if mom helps that.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: I would have had a very hard.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Time walking away in that moment. I would have been
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the mom who came back and did It'd have been like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: go ahead and go I'll stay here and do everything.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Two more things. I loved how the Fall Festival was
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: at the end of the movie like we were looking
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: forward to it, and I thought they did that really well.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: You know sometimes we get like a festival it's like
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: mid movie and then we get like miscommunications or whatever
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: or afterwards. I found myself like very excited to see
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: what this festival was was going to look like. Maybe
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: that's just like the PTA mom and me, Like I
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: just felt very connected to what Amy was doing and
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: what her yeah job was and finally there was great
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: music throughout this entire movie. Did anybody notice I didn't
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: clock it at all.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Really, I'm not surprised you did clock it. It was
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: really good, really really good. All right, let's talk what
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: we wished for europ Eric.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Okay, so the initial I don't know if it's gonna
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: be cute or not, but when Cameron Noah is driving
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: or doing his wheelbarrow across the street and he gets
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: annoyed at her for almost running him down, I'm like,
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: the dude, just jaywalked with a wheelbarrow in front of her,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: so she was totally in the right to run. So
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: it's funny. I remember flashing back to think like, oh,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: this movie's is going to be horrible. So it sort
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: of initially set up this bad thing, which obviously everything
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: got got corrected. I didn't have a lot I didn't,
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you know, really love about it. The one thing though,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: that I found funny was the corn maze scene. Was
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: when they were he was mowing it and they see
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: all the corn flying and then they showed the overhead
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: and it's perfectly cleaned out and it's like complete and
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: it's massive and it's been manicured. So you know, once again,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: as I said, I go to Hallmark Universe and it
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: doesn't really bug me per se, but I got a
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: chuckle out of how it was just perfectly clean and going.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Through that, yeah, like a crop circle.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: And then the other is and I don't like I
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: thought the conflict was. They handled it well, but it
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: seems where Amy was being like, well, I promise my
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: daughter I would leave. It seems like that was one
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: of the ones which such an easy kind of to have,
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: whether or not you need to go or not, before
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: you're making these big decisions, you could just talk to
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: your daughter, right, So I thought that one was one
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: that could have been which she ended up doing and
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: having that conversation, But I just thought it was it
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: could have been for her, like him going to Australia
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: was really good, but she could have just resolved that
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: a little bit I think, quicker, easier.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought this story was pretty predictable, like we
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: knew what was going to happen, they were going to
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: be together at the end. But I appreciated that they
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: didn't throw in any huge miscommunications. You know, there was
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of like what's the word I'm looking for,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: like side talk happening that could have led to a
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: misunderstanding between there are two leads, you know, because like
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: the daughter was involved and he had the friends and
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: the mutual friends and whatever.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, it's not manufactured conflict, like you can see
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the conflict building the entire time. It makes sense, right,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: But I agree with Eric, like those were simple conversations
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: that could have happened, and and and for a second,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I thought, why doesn't she just go to Australia with
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: this guy, like.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: You know, she could go with him, like you know anyway.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: So for me, that is the only wish that I had,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: is that they could have maybe made it a little
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: bit more difficult, But I appreciated that they didn't.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Well, I feel like her not leaving for Australia is
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: a throwback to earlier that line that I love, like
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: why haven't you put down roots? And he says he
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: hasn't had any reason to, and now he has a
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: reason to, as opposed to him being like still not
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: putting down roots, you come with me, like grab your bags.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: To Eric's point in the beginning of the movie, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: also uh had like a little moment where Amy and Noah.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: It's like the second time they're crossing paths and she
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: drops a bag full of things and he's helping her
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: pick it up, and he's like, I've seen this a
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: lot of times, parents who can't let go, and look
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: every single parent dropping their kid off at college, just
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: having a moment of like push and pull and giving
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: them the freedom. But you're gonna miss them and I'm
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: losing control over their life. I just felt like, give
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: her a little bit of grace. Many I don't, but
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: they recover from that very quickly. He doesn't lean into that,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: like you know, you're over the top. Mom roll am
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I the only person who was very strongly team no
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: corn maze? They hear me out. I loved the corn maze.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I love the idea of a corn maze, even though
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: if someone I knew was lost in the corn Mazey'd
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: be lost there forever because I would never find my
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: way to them. However, he's pushing back. He's like, we
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: gotta harvest the corn early, and she's like, it's.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Fine, just do it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: When they mow that corn down, is that how you
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: harvest corn by completely mowing the stalk down? Because that
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: seems like a lot of crop they're losing for the
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: next year. I don't know how you harvest corn. I
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: don't either, Do you know how you harvest corn?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Eric?
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Not that way? Yeah, you have the uh, the reaper
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: or whatever, and then that stock but.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Regrow the next year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but no, I think they replant. Okay, corn doesn't
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: grow again, but they yeah, it doesn't. Well, I don't know.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Maybe someone came through in the wheelbarrow and collected all
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: all that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I just thought, but it's not such an easy thing
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: to just mow through all this, like they're losing a
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: lot of crop.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: They they did an aerial shot of it. I was like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: that's that's huge. That's like acres and acres and acres,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Like why couldn't they just take it a little corner
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: of it and made like a cute little maize, Like
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: don't use your whole crop full of it, or.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: Build one out of haybails.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: That's what I thought too, when he had all that
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: hay just do that.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but she did address that because she was like
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: corn maize brings the people, and if we don't bring
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: the people, then we don't have a festival next year.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: So sacrifice your corn.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Now, yeah, I thought she had a fair point too.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: I do too, but he came around, you know, bring
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: her a little chicken soup and corn maze.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, we need to talk about the chicken soup.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, let's hop to did you see that? Okay,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: but I'll hold off. I'm gonna let our guests go first.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: And did you see that moment?
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I'm gonna do the did you see that?
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: With by doing once again a little dropping name dropping
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: hopefully that the Marco polo was Tracy Andrene's favorite thing
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: that she's written that scene so, and I know we
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: said we all liked it as well. And the corn maze.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: When I was asking Lee about what was funny, she
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: said filming that because they didn't fit on there and
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: they couldn't really drive the thing that they were it was,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: she said, there was just like out of control laughing
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: and everyone was like the whole scene was just really
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: hodgepodge together, which I was knowing that going into it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: I was looking for it to see him like veering off.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: He looked like he was handling it pretty well. But
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: she said that, yeah, that was absolutely hilarious, filming that scene,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: so I like, I said, I, but I really liked that,
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: And then yeah, so are you going to I'll let
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: you talk about the chicken soup because I I'm not
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: sure how I feel about the chicken soup.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Well, that chicken soup was water like when he takes
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the lid off, it's like water.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: And there's's recipe.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Don't like His mom was like no, what No, I
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: didn't even like a Campbell soup would have looked better
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: than that. I don't know. I just was like, again,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: it's the Hallmark Universe, gotta let it go. But I
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: just thought, like, don't take the lid off in that
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: moment if the soup's not going to bring it visually.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: That was my thought.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I will tell you while we were While I was
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: watching that scene, I hopped on Pinterest to look for
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: a homemade chicken soup recipe.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Oh well, it is delicious. I also thought she leaned
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: a little too hard on like I have a cold,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I can't get off the couch. I'm like, lady, you
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: are a mom power through like I've not taken a
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: day off for a cold. She had sixteen years. Maybe
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: she was.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: She also did not look very sick.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, for me, the corn maze was the biggest.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Did you see that?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: For me?
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Like you said it was, those lanes were all cleaned up,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: there was no debris. But there is one point where
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: he goes to start it and he's looking at a
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: map and then he just like goes in and I
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: was like, don't you guys have to like spray paint
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: this out or something like.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: He's got photographic memory to know how to do it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Willy nilly like in there and my corn maze never
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: would have connected. They would be like, we can't get
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: out because there's only one way in.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Can't You're lost forever.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: It's the Harry Potter corn maan.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: And then he puts the signs up where it's like
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: the questions of like who what family? What say has
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: the most family farms? I'm like, hell, I don't know.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I would be lost in this thing forever.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know the answer to these questions.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Marco, Yeah, what.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Else did you have? I know you had like a
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: big list.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Well, look, the apples are not that shiny off the tree.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: They're they're not. They become shiny through whatever process they
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: go through. Sending them to the grocery store. They've got
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: that big pile of apples they picked.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: They're not shiny, and the worst apples they have red delicious,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: that the worst apples to eat, Apples are red that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Aren't red delicious. Okay, fine, But anyway, she goes through
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: on their picking apples and she just like yanks one
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: off the tree and pulls an entire branch off, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: then the next moment she's like doing it correctly. But
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: they never discuss like how to do it. Twists you
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: gently twists and apples.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Eric, have you ever been apple picking when I was
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: a kid. I've never. I wouldn't from.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Michigan, so we have like all of that. You don't.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: You know, it doesn't get cold enough out here to
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: have apple trees. You gotta be north, right, Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: We have apple farms. We go every year, almost every year,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: but we pretend like it's fall. It's eighty five degrees.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: So listen, Mike, I'm having a huge like deja vous
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: right now. My grandma lived in Michigan, grew up in Michigan,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: and she always talked about Johnny appleseed. Is that some
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: sort of like folklore for Michigan.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Well, no, it's like Americana.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: I went across the whole country and planted his seeds
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: across the entire country, and that's why we have apples.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Was only in Michigan.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: She rereck coon on Johnny apple Seed.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: My last did you see that?
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Is they apparently make a sixteen hour drive in like
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: four hours because they leave from LA. They arrive in
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: the same clothes on the same day. They've only had
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: a muffin for a snack from LA to Oregon wherever
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Oregon College is, even if it's southern Oregon, that's like
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: a sixteen hour drive from LA.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I was wondering too. Her brother never sent her clothes.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: She only had like enough clothes for like two days.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I'm like, what the heck where'd
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: she get all that extra clothing from?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: And beautiful clothing cashmew sweaters, beautiful coats, and.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Her big, beautiful office that this temporary employee at the
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: university has been given with these wood panel walls and
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: big enough room to have a giant conference table.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. When they show that, I thought, why wouldn't she
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: be working out of her home?
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly exactly.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: That was weird.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this contract employee. Do you have anything else?
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Eric?
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: And that did you see that? Category?
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Well, okay, so I was gonna say with the soup.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: I couldn't figure out was he like tucking her into
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: bed or was she just on the couch.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: She was on the couch, but it was kind of
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: creepy how like he put the blanket like up to
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: her neck.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: It just seemed it seemed a little like, I know
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: they were at this point like hey, I dig you,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: you dig me kind of stuff, but it did seem
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: pretty intimate.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I think so too.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: And their faces were so close. I'm like, a woman
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: who was that sick? He should not put his face.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: That close to hers.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: She's cute. I would risk a cold for Oh, Kelly
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Ruthiford action.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: She's cute.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: There's a scene and You've Got Mail, which I reference
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: a lot on this podcast where Meg Ryan's characteristic and
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Tom Hanks comes over and I heard you were sick,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and he brings her flowers and makes her tea with honey,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: and it's a very sweet scene, very intimate too, and
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: they are still kind of like clashing at that point
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: in the movie. I don't know if you've got male fan, Eric,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: but the scene was reminiscent of that for me.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Is that a night that's in nineties?
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Nineties? Yeah? Yeah?

• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Having that conversation at work the other day about back
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: when used to have that little noise and it would
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: just send those doorphins running through your body and you.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: You've got mail, totally look at the phone, the house phone,
• 30:22

  Speaker 3: what do you give love of course four and a half?
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Ooh nice?

  Speaker 3: I don't think it's low.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: You knocked it down because I had water chicken soup.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: That's right, really, although there's really nothing wrong with it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: There's nothing really wrong with this movie.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I agree it was a great and I'll be honest,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: three point five is not about rating for me like
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: like it's.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: It feels bad.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, it does feel bad.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Well I don't mean it that way. We are going
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: to play a game called Gone Hallmark where we have

• 31:24
  Speaker 3: first up bad boy or boy next door like me
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: in a Harmark movie.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Are you asking like like myself? Or what do I like?
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: As far as the actor to be, I mean, choose
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: your own adventure here, but the spirit with which it
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: was intended was in a Hallmark movie.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: Is the ending of that sentence, Well.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: I'd have to I'm definitely this a terrible bad boy.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: So your team boy next door?
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: No, he's team bad boy.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: I'm a bad boy.

  Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, I'm.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Not judgement I'm not judgmental, and I love everybody.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: So all right, if you have to pick one, do
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: you pick the way home.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Or ride considering I never saw ride, I'd have to
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: go with the way Home.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: It's the right choice.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: It is the right choice.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: In a Hallmark movie, do you prefer a fake dating
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: trope or an enemy's to lover's trope?
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'd have to go with the fake only because
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: the frenemies sometimes they're just too harsh and I'm like
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: that person who never like that person after that introduction?
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Agree, WHOA?
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Another wedding Veil trilogy? Yay or nay?

• 33:10
  Speaker 5: they had the snowmen that was like looked like styrofoam balls.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: But other than that, I never know when it's like
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: fake or like cgi pumpkins or anything like that.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Well, the digital snow, to me is obvious because it
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: never lands on their clothing, so it's like snow falling there.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Notice, I'll go up, but I'll go with the I'll
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: go with the leaves because I think the Fall movies
• 33:37
