Speaker 2: a former Hallmark hater. Today we're discussing the latest Hannah
0:32
Speaker 2: Swenson mystery, A Pie to Die For, which originally aired

Speaker 2: on Not What You're Thinking, the Hallmark Channel on Sunday,
0:40
Speaker 2: June twenty second, twenty twenty five. It is currently streaming
0:44
Speaker 2: on the Hallmark Plus platform. We'd love for you to
0:48

1:06
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did you share?
1:08
Speaker 2: Did you share? Like those behind the scene photos? Others

Speaker 2: shared theirs and I re shared them?
1:15
Speaker 1: Got it?
1:16
Speaker 2: Got it?
1:16
Speaker 1: Got it? Got it? Hey?
1:18
Speaker 2: We have a Facebook group if you're looking to find,
1:21
Speaker 2: you know, conversation with like minded Hallmark fans. Admittedly haven't
1:26
Speaker 2: been over there in a couple of days. Have you
1:28
Speaker 2: been over there? Maybe? Not. Life's coming at me fast
1:31
Speaker 2: right now, for real, for I'm barely treading water. Do
1:38
Speaker 2: you remember about a month ago we were like, oh,
1:41
Speaker 2: can't wait for summer. I can't wait for summer. I'm
1:42
Speaker 2: so ready for a break. And now it's summer and
1:44
Speaker 2: it's just been like, you know the water parks that
1:47
Speaker 2: have that giant bucket of water that fills and fills
1:49
Speaker 2: and fills and fills, and then it dumps on you
1:51
Speaker 2: and you can't catch your breast. That's what summer feels like,
1:55
Speaker 2: which is so funny because historically we've always kind of
1:58
Speaker 2: had a very free, kind of loose summer by design,
2:03
Speaker 2: and this year we did not do it that way. Nope. Yeah,
2:08
Speaker 2: Wendy usually quits in January, but this year it might
2:11
Speaker 2: be a July. A July exit, will see. No, I
2:16
Speaker 2: haven't threatened to quit in a long time, not since
2:19
Speaker 2: we started podcasting. Actually it was more it was more
2:22
Speaker 2: YouTube fueled. Oh those are the days. Those were the days.
2:28
Speaker 1: Hey, did I say come join our Facebook group? Yeah?

Speaker 2: quick break and we're gonna come right back with our
7:06
Speaker 2: first impressions of Pie to Die For? Hey, Wendy, what
7:17
Speaker 2: was your first impression of Pie to Die For? A
7:22
Speaker 2: Hannah Swinson mystery without Norman is a mystery one oh
7:25
Speaker 2: one without Graham Winslow. Where the freak was Norman? Well
7:28
Speaker 2: he wasn't here last time either, right? Yeah he was?
7:32
Speaker 2: Oh he was? Yeah he was. I remember specifically like
7:36
Speaker 2: him hanging out in the cookie jar, like yeah, right,
7:41
Speaker 2: but love his bib. Where is Norman? Well, my first
7:46
Speaker 2: impression is forget a pie to die for? That was
7:48
Speaker 2: a kiss to die for? Oh my god. I even
7:52
Speaker 2: texted Megan. We were like chatting about something else as
7:55
Speaker 2: I'm watching the movie, and I'm like, uh, off topic,
7:57
Speaker 2: this kiss is pretty stinking good. Yeah, so much so
8:02
Speaker 2: that I didn't even notice that Norman wasn't there. What. Yeah,
8:07
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't need a love triangle, but I
8:09
Speaker 2: just want Norman's presence, Like, I know, I like him
8:12
Speaker 2: a lot. Let's throw Norman a bone and give him
8:15
Speaker 2: a love interest. He had one. What Happened to Diana?
8:19
Speaker 2: That was movies ago? Oh I know, right, Okay, can
8:22
Speaker 2: we talk about what we liked please? And my number
8:25
Speaker 2: one thing is what you just talked about is a kiss. Finally, finally, finally.
8:31
Speaker 2: And it's not like it's been ten movies. It's been
8:35
Speaker 2: a handful, right, five or six. But I'm so glad
8:41
Speaker 2: that we got this kiss. And it wasn't just a
8:43
Speaker 2: quick peck at the end. This was a mid movie,
8:47
Speaker 2: well earned, genuinely romantic with Chad like touching her face
8:53
Speaker 2: and brushing her hair back. I was like, Okay, this
8:57
Speaker 2: is the payoff I've been waiting for. I was into it.
9:00
Speaker 2: There's a reason we call him Wowi's Ali Webster, both
9:03
Speaker 2: on and behind the scenes.
9:05
Speaker 1: For sure.
9:07
Speaker 2: It really does bring the heat. And I also it's
9:09
Speaker 2: not just in that moment. There's so many moments just
9:11
Speaker 2: where they look at each other. When they're dancing and
9:14
Speaker 2: he dips her and he sticks his hand in her
9:17
Speaker 2: hair to support her head as he's dipping her. That
9:22
Speaker 2: was a swoon worthy moment. My friends, listen, I'm wondering
9:26
Speaker 2: if Alie Sweeney or Crystal low is listening to our
9:32
Speaker 2: podcasts because we've been saying for a good solid year.
9:36
Speaker 2: I think it really came up with the Seine Sealed
9:38
Speaker 2: delivered stuff last year was like the subtle touch of
9:42
Speaker 2: the hair. I mean, the most nuanced move really makes
9:51
Speaker 2: me feel things. I agree. So I'm wondering if they're
9:56
Speaker 2: putting it into their movies now because we've been talking
9:59
Speaker 2: about it for a straight year. Look, we are not
10:01
Speaker 2: the only ones who feel that way, I'm certain. On
10:04
Speaker 2: the other hand, I this movie has a lot of
10:07
Speaker 2: the romance and sweet moments, and you know, brings the heat,
10:10
Speaker 2: as I said, but there's a ton of humor in
10:12
Speaker 2: this particular installment. It might be one of the funniest
10:16
Speaker 2: in my opinion. There's a lot of little elements. The
10:20
Speaker 2: interactions between Hannah and her sister while she's getting ready
10:24
Speaker 2: for her date so good, so funny. And when he's like,
10:29
Speaker 2: one of your sisters is in the pantry, right, I laughed?
10:33
Speaker 2: So good. I mean, it's like right on the border
10:35
Speaker 2: of two HYJIINXY. But it was perfect. She was like yep,
10:37
Speaker 2: and then they just leave.
10:38
Speaker 1: I love it.
10:40
Speaker 2: Dolores is hot flash and she's like not now, so great,
10:45
Speaker 2: and then Hannah choosing all of the wrong utensils from
10:47
Speaker 2: the drawer in order to ward off the intruder. It's
10:50
Speaker 2: like this serious moment, Chad's getting his ass handed to
10:53
Speaker 2: him by this guy, and she keeps She's like whisk, Nah,
10:55
Speaker 2: and like, great, were are the knives?
10:58
Speaker 1: Hannah?
10:59
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of like I thought Chad was holding his
11:02
Speaker 2: own with the intruder, and you're right, You're right. It
11:05
Speaker 2: was that that military training was really coming in. But
11:08
Speaker 2: in the efforts over he was like, I really need
11:11
Speaker 2: to work out, and it was so funny.
11:14
Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious.
11:16
Speaker 2: I agree with you. There were a lot of like
11:18
Speaker 2: little zingers, and all throughout the entire movie. I think
11:22
Speaker 2: this the scenes with Hannah and her sister and her
11:25
Speaker 2: mom are some of my favorite. Yes, they're like banter.
11:30
Speaker 2: It's really good. I agree with you about Hannah and
11:33
Speaker 2: her mom and her sister. I actually think this movie
11:35
Speaker 2: is so much more about their relationship than it is
11:38
Speaker 2: about the murder. The murder stuff is handled fine for me.
11:40
Speaker 2: I found that interesting and enjoyable. But they do such
11:43
Speaker 2: a good job building all of the relationships Hannah and Chad,
11:46
Speaker 2: Hannah and her mom, Hannah and her sister, the three
11:48
Speaker 2: of them together, that you're so in because that's what
11:52
Speaker 2: makes this watchable as a series, that you care about
11:54
Speaker 2: these recurring characters. Yeah, And I just thought they did
11:57
Speaker 2: such a great job building those real relationships that were
12:01
Speaker 2: already in place. Yeah, I agree with you, That's what
12:05
Speaker 2: I was thinking. I really like the Hannah Swinson franchise. Now,
12:09
Speaker 2: granted I've never seen one of the Murder She Baked.
12:14
Speaker 2: I think we've seen one, just one, I think, yeah,
12:18
Speaker 2: like the very first the very first one or very
12:21
Speaker 2: last one. I don't remember it. It doesn't matter. But
12:23
Speaker 2: you know, with the big shake up in the cast,
12:27
Speaker 2: of course, like they're gonna need some time to like
12:30
Speaker 2: build these relationships, especially between Chad and Hannah. But I
12:34
Speaker 2: think it's coming together. I think it's really coming together.
12:37
Speaker 2: I totally agree. I like that we're getting a little
12:40
Speaker 2: hint out a love interest for Dolores.
12:43
Speaker 1: Same the same, same.
12:45
Speaker 2: I'm going to move that story forward. Hopefully she doesn't
12:48
Speaker 2: have to wait as long as Hannah did, and they do.
12:51
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about Norman being missing, but they
12:53
Speaker 2: do reference the other sister and Lannie being away together
12:56
Speaker 2: on a cruise so they are existing off camp Murrah, Yeah,
13:00
Speaker 2: but why not say something throw wine in there about normal?
13:04
Speaker 1: Sure?
13:04
Speaker 2: Totally? Are they phasing him in Norman Gosh, I don't know.
13:10
Speaker 2: I hope that it's sad if they did. I want
13:13
Speaker 2: to talk about Dolores for a second. Uh huh. I
13:16
Speaker 2: know she's super polarizing, like I see on Reddit. Yeah,
13:20
Speaker 2: but not here, not here, not between us. Now. I
13:24
Speaker 2: love Dolores. I think Dolores is. I'm team Dolores all
13:28
Speaker 2: the way. When she answers that door and she's got
13:31
Speaker 2: that face mask on, it just feels very relatable. And
13:35
Speaker 2: then when she was in the janitor costume and she
13:37
Speaker 2: was snooping around. Yeah, she just brings like a fun,
13:42
Speaker 2: frantic energy but keeps it light. I love Dolores me too.
13:47
Speaker 2: I especially love Barbara Niven, but I love her as Dolores.
13:51
Speaker 2: So I feel like I'm gonna fight people. I have
13:53
Speaker 2: one more little like yeah, and it's more of like
13:57
Speaker 2: a it's not even a digitsy that it's a question
14:00
Speaker 2: for you. Though, I felt like, was it me or
14:04
Speaker 2: was Hannah a little bit shocked by Chad's interest in
14:09
Speaker 2: her in this movie? Like when he calls and checks
14:12
Speaker 2: in on her, and she's like, oh, he called to
14:15
Speaker 2: see how I'm doing or whatever, and then or when
14:18
Speaker 2: he hugged her after the whole intruder at her house,
14:21
Speaker 2: Like I felt like her face was a little bit
14:25
Speaker 2: she was in disbelief that things were actually progressing with him. Mmm,
14:30
Speaker 2: did you pick up any of that. I didn't read
14:33
Speaker 2: it as disbelief. I thought I read it maybe more
14:38
Speaker 2: like she's impressed, like uh, look at that, not like
14:43
Speaker 2: not like disbelief, like I'm shocked that he likes me
14:46
Speaker 2: this much, but more I think in a this is
14:50
Speaker 2: actually happening sort of way, yeah, kind of in a
14:53
Speaker 2: this was yeah, not like she's not worthy of yea
14:56
Speaker 2: or anything, but yeah, like I can't believe this is
14:58
Speaker 2: actually finally somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, Because I think when she
15:04
Speaker 2: tells Andrea that she's going on the day, and Andrew's
15:06
Speaker 2: like rud al art, right. I think Hannah herself hadn't
15:10
Speaker 2: quite gotten to that point of like, oh my gosh,
15:11
Speaker 2: this has been building for all of this time. Who
15:13
Speaker 2: knows the actual timeline? And Andrea's like, hello, like this
15:17
Speaker 2: is a big freaking deal. And so I think she
15:21
Speaker 2: kind of has a slower realization that it's all it's
15:24
Speaker 2: all happening. Mm hmm, exactly exactly are you ready to
15:29
Speaker 2: talk wishes? I am. I only have one. Oh, okay,
15:34
Speaker 2: what did I miss? I don't know. It's such a
15:36
Speaker 2: small thing. Turn your camera, shut her noise off, Hannah, Like,
15:39
Speaker 2: you're not sneaky, and it's like kitching every time you're
15:41
Speaker 2: taking a picture of someone sneakily. Oh totally. When that
15:45
Speaker 2: guy was like doing art and she's like snapping pictures
15:48
Speaker 2: of him, I'm like, this is dangerous. Yes, yes, totally, totally.
15:55
Speaker 2: We already talked about it. My wishes are one, Where's Norman? Yeah,
15:58
Speaker 2: not even a single line about him, a throwaway explanation.
16:02
Speaker 2: I don't need a love triangle, but I need to
16:04
Speaker 2: know where Norman's whereabouts are? Sure otherwise yeah, I don't
16:07
Speaker 2: need a love triangle either. If Norman not there, are
16:10
Speaker 2: they like maybe Norman got murdered because everybody gets murdered.
16:13
Speaker 1: There, you know?
16:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, how come Norman was in that aspect?
16:17
Speaker 1: Right?
16:18
Speaker 2: The other thing is I did think the this the
16:24
Speaker 2: mystery part of it was kind of predictable. It wasn't
16:27
Speaker 2: the strongest who done it because one delores isn't she's
16:32
Speaker 2: not gonna be a real ste of course, no, right, Graham, Yeah, exactly,
16:37
Speaker 2: it's not happening. So like you narrow it down when
16:42
Speaker 2: you take her out of it, either the nephew or
16:45
Speaker 2: the theater manager. I thought Lisa's cousin was an interesting take,
16:50
Speaker 2: but not enough to like make me actually believe that
16:54
Speaker 2: she was a real person of interest A great agree,
16:58
Speaker 2: So I was like, we could have maybe dug a
17:01
Speaker 2: little deeper here. But on the flip side of that,
17:04
Speaker 2: I always complain that there are too many suspects, so
17:11
Speaker 2: I guess I can't have it both ways. Huh. My
17:13
Speaker 2: next wish is I was a little surprised that Laura
17:16
Speaker 2: Solstice was the victim in this movie. I can't be
17:20
Speaker 2: hearing us. She's such a familiar face on Homewark, and
17:27
Speaker 2: I thought I maybe expected more from her role. It's
17:32
Speaker 2: like killing off Drew Barrymore at the beginning of Scream,
17:35
Speaker 2: you know, but she's like a big deal. Yeah, I agree,
17:38
Speaker 2: he's a big a big deal totally. Yeah, sure, yeah,
17:42
Speaker 2: Usually our our murderies are kind of the unknowns, right,
17:47
Speaker 2: and then it also means that we don't have that
17:48
Speaker 2: rivalry with her and Dolores anymore, right, right, right, right. Lastly,
17:54
Speaker 2: I do think the mystery and it's not even a wish.
17:57
Speaker 2: I kind of just was like a I'm here for
18:01
Speaker 2: Chad and Hannah storyline at this point, like I'm not
18:04
Speaker 2: really here for the mysteries, just like I'm here for
18:11
Speaker 2: Amy and Travis and one alone, I'm not really there
18:13
Speaker 2: for the mysteries either, So.
18:17
Speaker 1: That's okay.
18:18
Speaker 2: But I do think like if you are turning, like
18:21
Speaker 2: if you are tuning in for a mystery, this one
18:24
Speaker 2: might not put it for you. Oh yeah, that's a
18:27
Speaker 2: good point, Curious mystery fans, Way and Girls Gone Homark
18:31
Speaker 2: at gmail dot com. Yeah, all right, are you ready
18:36
Speaker 2: for did you see that? Yep? And I have but one,
18:39
Speaker 2: let's hear it. I need to know where Hannah got
18:44
Speaker 2: her cat printed house coat. Look, I always complain, if
18:50
Speaker 2: you've listened to any of our other projects Patreon mostly Patreon,
18:55
Speaker 2: I'm complaining about how I'm cold all the time. And
18:58
Speaker 2: I see her in this fuzzy cute robe that she's
19:03
Speaker 2: just wearing over her clothes to stay warm in her house,
19:07
Speaker 2: and it has a cat print on it, and I
19:09
Speaker 2: was like, I need it. I not with a.
19:11
Speaker 1: Cat, but with a dog. I would love, love, love love.
19:14
Speaker 2: I need Homewark Wardrobe to drop a link. I was
19:19
Speaker 2: super jealous that it was cold in this movie and
19:21
Speaker 2: they're in coats the whole time because I'm the opposite
19:25
Speaker 2: of Wenday. I'm always hot and I am I have
19:29
Speaker 2: a paper chain counting down till November first. You know
19:33
Speaker 2: what is funny. I was trying to think when we
19:36
Speaker 2: saw we saw Dolores, when we saw Barbara and Nevin
19:40
Speaker 2: talk about this movie, it was while we were in
19:43
Speaker 2: Kansas City, and that was December, right, Yeah, so they
19:47
Speaker 2: must have filmed this in like October November around that time. Yeah,
19:51
Speaker 2: because when we spoke to Crystal Low about this time
19:53
Speaker 2: each year, which was the first Thursday Night movie that premiered,
19:56
Speaker 2: she was leaving to go work on hannahs Wedson and
19:59
Speaker 2: we to her about it, but then we had to
20:01
Speaker 2: cut it out of our episode because it wasn't announced
20:04
Speaker 2: that she was directing it yet. That's right, So it
20:08
Speaker 2: was cold where they were actually at Yeah, when they
20:10
Speaker 2: were filming this, Yeah, I know. I noticed Hannah had
20:13
Speaker 2: this big gray jacket and at one point, like the
20:16
Speaker 2: in the inside you could see like the brand name
20:20
Speaker 2: of it. Oh, I can't recall what it is. You
20:23
Speaker 2: know that brand like it has something like degrees and
20:26
Speaker 2: it you know, I'm talking about, oh like thirty two degrees,
20:29
Speaker 2: yeah something. It was something similar to that. Uh huh.
20:32
Speaker 2: So I'm like, she was legit cold. She was legit cold,
20:37
Speaker 2: all right? Did you have a digits that I have
20:39
Speaker 2: a real random list here, No true digitsu. That's just
20:42
Speaker 2: some thoughts. Hannah charges fifty dollars for four pies Lake
20:45
Speaker 2: He didn't must be the land that time forgot. Oh god,
20:48
Speaker 2: I did the math in my mind. I'm like, where
20:51
Speaker 2: can you get a pie for twelve dollars and fifty cents?
20:53
Speaker 2: Not even marine calendars. I don't think.
20:56
Speaker 1: Where's the freaking marine calendars at these days?
20:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, but much less like a big I know, because
21:02
Speaker 2: if you get a cake from like Susie cakes will
21:04
Speaker 2: cost you fifty bucks. I know. Even a sheet cake
21:09
Speaker 2: at the grocery store for my daughter's birthday was fifty dollars.
21:12
Speaker 1: Dang.
21:13
Speaker 2: I know. We have a new member of the Barbondiven
21:15
Speaker 2: Skincare fan club, and that's my husband because when she's
21:19
Speaker 2: on screen with her two daughters, he's like she must
21:21
Speaker 2: have had these girls when she was thirteen, and I
21:22
Speaker 2: was like, no, she's legit old enough to be their mother.
21:25
Speaker 2: She just has great skin. We mentioned Zach Santiago is
21:32
Speaker 2: in this movie. He is, of course Ramon in the
21:34
Speaker 2: Science Healed Delivered series I. When he comes on screen
21:38
Speaker 2: as the dance instructor, I was like, it's Ramone. And
21:41
Speaker 2: then when he says the line, I do have a
21:43
Speaker 2: cousin in Denver who's very popular, I laughed out loud.
21:46
Speaker 2: I did too. I'm so happy that Crystal like infuses
21:49
Speaker 2: her SSD family in these movies. Yes, I have two
21:52
Speaker 2: more little things. One she's like I took a photo
21:54
Speaker 2: of Eduardo, who's Zack Santiago, and she holds it up
21:57
Speaker 2: and it's like him standing against a wall. It's not
22:00
Speaker 2: like a candid, surreptitiously taken shot in his dance studio.
22:05
Speaker 2: It looks like a mugshot. It's very weird to me.
22:08
Speaker 2: And finally, Chad tells Hannah a story about when he
22:13
Speaker 2: was in the Marines, how he slept on the floor
22:14
Speaker 2: in order to avoid having to make his bed. Yes,
22:17
Speaker 2: the timing of this is very coincidental because over the
22:20
Speaker 2: weekend we were speaking to my neighbor who was in
22:23
Speaker 2: the Air Force, and he talked about how when he
22:25
Speaker 2: was in boot camp, they had to have they had
22:28
Speaker 2: to you know, iron their sheets and have hospital cars
22:30
Speaker 2: and the whole thing. And so what they would do
22:32
Speaker 2: is they would have either a sleeping bag or a
22:35
Speaker 2: blanket and they would roll it out over their bed
22:38
Speaker 2: and sleep on that and then wake up in the morning,
22:40
Speaker 2: roll it up, put that away because he said they
22:42
Speaker 2: had a cabinet that wouldn't be checked, like two of
22:45
Speaker 2: their cabinets could be checked and two of them weren't,
22:47
Speaker 2: and so they would tuck that blanket away. And he
22:49
Speaker 2: said he made his bed once at the beginning of
22:51
Speaker 2: boot camp and that was it. Isn't that funny? Very
22:55
Speaker 2: similar story is about not wanting to have to remake
22:57
Speaker 2: the very specific bed. Yeah, very enter. I just why
23:01
Speaker 2: can't you get up five minutes earlier and make the bed,
23:03
Speaker 2: because it's more than a home bed making process. With
23:08
Speaker 2: the they had to be at a certain angle and
23:10
Speaker 2: they would measure them and make sure the angle was correct.
23:14
Speaker 2: Doesn't the bed get ruffled anyway here sleeping on top
23:17
Speaker 2: of it. I'm sure they had to do some adjustment
23:20
Speaker 2: but I'm just thinking logistically. But funny that two similar
23:26
Speaker 2: stories you heard in a week one weekend? Yeah, what
23:29
Speaker 2: did you rate Pie to Die For? I gave it
23:31
Speaker 2: four stars? I gave it four point twenty five stars.
23:35
Speaker 2: I think it's my favorite Hannis wentson so far. I
23:37
Speaker 2: even messaged Crystal Low to say that it was great.
23:41
Speaker 2: That's nice of you. Sometimes I'm a nice person. Thank
