  Speaker 1: actually Callie's second visit to the podcast. She joined us
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to discuss a New Year's Resolution back in January.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: But I still hate that movie.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: There was a preview starring the star of that movie
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: while I was watching this movie, and I'm we arey
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: nervous to discuss that movie with you. But Kellie started
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: her recap and review blog called Hallmarks the Spot cute
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to s name in the business, that started in twenty
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nineteen after years of what she says, she was essentially
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: treating Hallmark Christmas movies like a sport. We're so happy
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to have you here again. Thank you for joining us, Calli, thank.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: You guys for having me. I'm so excited to be
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: back and talking to you guys about Christmas movies this time.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, so, because we have a guest, Wendy's ready to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: go with her synopsis, Easy girl, Hey, look what I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: was far earlier prepared today than I ever am to.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Me too, totally okay about next stop Christmas. Angie is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: determined to spend Christmas alone, but her usual commuter ride
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: turns into a Christmas train that drops her off in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: her hometown. In two thousand and eleven stars Lindsay Fonseca,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Chandler man See, Leah Thompson, and Christopher Lloyd.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like the news and note section of this
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: movie is maybe the most important part of this movie. Okay,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I have quite a bit, but I'm interested to hear
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: what you guys might have.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Kelly, why don't we let you go first?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, so I don't have a ton of news
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and notes. But one thing that I heard I heard
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: like a slippet of a snippet of Leah Thompson's interview
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: about this movie, and she made a comment that she
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and Christopher Lloyd have been in several movies together but
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: have never had any scenes together. So I thought that
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: was really interesting that they, you know, they build it
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: as them back together and you know, back to the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: future kind of reunion. But they they weren't in any
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: scenes in this movie either.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, wait a second, I've seen Back to the Future
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a million times and just realized they are never in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a scene together.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are in scenes together, their characters never speak
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: directly to each other.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Oh that's what it was. Oh that's what she was saying. Okay, Well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: my husband pointed out that they were both in Dennis
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the Menace as well. Oh.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen Dennis the movie.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: We recently just watched it with our boys, like probably
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a few months ago, and I wouldn't have known either,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: But yeah, he's Christopher Lloyd plays this really gross like
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: kind of bum that abducts Dennis the Menace.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But oh no, yeah, dark, it's very different. Is that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: like Walter Mathow as mister Wilson? Okay, yes, okay, was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that out in the nineties.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, yes, yes.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, Well this movie was very originally titled The
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Christmas Train, but guys, that's both a book and a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Christmas movie on the Hallmark Channel. Oh, so they had
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to rename it. I actually really enjoy that Christmas book.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I do too.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very sweet and the movie's nice adapt Passion.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit different. It's yeah, has like Dermot mulroney. Yes,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it's just a sweet Hallmark movie. It's kind of not
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: your typical Hallmark.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Movie with Dermott mulroney. Yeah. Oh, I might have to
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: put that on my friendly app and look for it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Is it? I feel like it was maybe twenty eighteen.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It's not terribly old.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: The book is much older than the movie.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm not going to.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Read the book.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: So the book is by someone who doesn't normally do Chris.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I can't remember if it's like David Baldacci or something.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's something David Balducci. That's exactly correct.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Good job.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I could not get pulled that out of thin air, Wendy,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: what you got?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: This movie was filmed entirely in Connecticut, and director Dustin
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Reikert shared that the movie started filming on August twenty
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: third and wrapped a few weeks later in September.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So many of these movies August in September. I just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I just I need one of these like late December movies.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: That's filmed.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I read something the other day from our Hallmark movie
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: insider sleep Kitty pat on Twitter, and they said that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: all of the movies had wrapped production. Oh really, yes,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but I could have sworn last year we had some
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: movies filming into November.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true last year.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So we're going to get prized.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Wait, hold on. I'm kind of surprised by the Sleepy
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Kitty Paw announcement thing because they were like freaking out
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: about the whole Iatzi strike. Now, I guess that that
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: could apply to like post production and whatever, and that
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: would have held up movies that they had already announced.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But I was under the impression that they weren't even
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: filmed yet, So.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Uh yeah, I think the biggest concern was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with all the post production work that needs to be done,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: particularly given the timeframe that they need to turn these
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: movies out. They don't have a ton of time to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: begin with to get them edited and put together.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So what you're saying is you want like real snow
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in a movie.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I just we talked about this on a previous episode.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm so aware of the fact
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that it's hot when their coats are wide open, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: their scarves are like as loosely on their neck as
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they can get them. And when you know, someone walks
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: outside in address and they're not obviously freezing to death.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Our January movies are likely going to be filmed in November,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: so I will get that cold feeling, but I'm not
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: really getting it in the Christmas movies right now.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Interesting, I getch you.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Will Horton on Days of Heart Lives is played by
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Chandler Massey who plays Ben Lee in this movie. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Will Horton is Sammy, Alison Sweeney's son on the show,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: so I have to wonder if she had any part
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in getting him into the Hallmark universe.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: So Alison Sweeney is still doing the soap operas.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, she's not on year round. Yeah okay, but
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: nobody really is. They kind of cycle the characters in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and out. Oh and so like in the summer, they'll
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: bring in all of the younger characters. All their storylines
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: will be about their younger characters. Oh, for anybody who
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: watched in the nineties, Marlene is possessed again, Like they
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have recycled that storyline.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Me it has the inside track to Days of Our Lives.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: One of her best college friends works for.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: The show, and since we were in college, yes, he's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: won multiple Emmys. But also, my husband is a huge
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Days of Our Lives fan. Days with Me my soap opera.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But I kind of faded out, but my husband watches weekly, so.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Still that's so funny.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Still up. And I'll walk in while he's watching. I'm like, wait,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: because you know you miss so much. Then I ask
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a million questions. He's like, you've got to be in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: or you've got to be out. I cannot catch you up.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: So I had read that Chandler Massey has won three
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Daytime Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Will Horton on Days.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I enjoy him. Wow show six.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Times nominated for an Emmy Award, Daytime Emmy Award, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and I read he's going to reprise his role on
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the Day spinoff Beyond Salem that's on Peacock.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And my friend who works for Day sent me a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: promo about that, and I was like, man, I cannot
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: subscribe to another service. He's like, no, no, no, this
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: one will be free. It's not the premium Peacock, So okay.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Erica slee Zack, and I'm saying her. I don't know
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: if that's actually how you pronounce her name, because when
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I say Sleezach, it reminds me of that show that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: used to the Sleezack.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking about?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: What was come on? It was?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, with like the family that gets like stranded on
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: like a not an island, but like, oh my god,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: hold on a second. We have talked about this a
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: million times.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I know what I'm talking about.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, and like Will Ferrell like made like a remake
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of the movie.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're speaking a different language right now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of every Will Ferrell.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Movie Land of the Law, Yes, okay, please as wasn't
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: that what they're called slack monsters? I?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, you said you talked about this. I literally
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: have never spoken about Land of the Lost bit. Yes,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: back in our YouTube days, Yes we did, Yes, we did. Anyway,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: she has the same last name, which is kind of unfortunate,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: but okay.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Anyhow, that's funny.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: She played Aunt Mert and I don't know if you
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: recognized her face, but she also played Victoria Lord on
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: One Life to Live from nineteen seventy one to twenty thirteen.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Whoa time anyway, you guys honestly didn't recognize her.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: That was not my soap. I have never did an
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: episode of One Life to Live.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And she has won the most of Daytime Emmys than
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: any other drama actress.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you didn't know that was her.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I've never seen it, Vicky Wow. Wow.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, here is another thing that really blew my mind.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Fonseca, who played Angie, also played Ted Mosby's daughter
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Penny on how I.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: That's exactly. I thought she looked familiar the whole time,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and I hadn't had a chance to look her up.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: She has sixty.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Five episodes between two thousand and five and twenty fourteen,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and I have to ask, do you think she receives
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that syndication paycheck?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I totally hope.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So. Yeah, right, she had to sit on that couch
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: for six I would think I didn't recognize her. That
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: was just a deep dive into IMDb. But seeing like
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the photos and images, I.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Was like, oh, yeah, that is for show that you
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: say it?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, I haven't.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Seen her in anything else. Yeah, I looked at.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Her I AMDB, and I was like, I don't know
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: any of these.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Like low budget movies.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Sorry, not being mean, I'm just like I'm just saying, hey, no,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. I'm not talking about
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: her as an actress because under my liked category, I
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: really liked her and I would like to see her
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: in more things, but I haven't seen her in anything.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So well, before we hop into our legs, let's talk
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: first impressions of this movie, Kelly, why don't you go first?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, so, as always I really try hard to keep
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: my expectations low, but my husband saw that this was
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Christopher Lloyd, that it was you know, had some Back
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: to the Future promo, so he was really excited to
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: watch it. I don't know, I think, I know built
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: it up too much and obviously it wasn't Back to
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the Future themed, but at the same time, it was
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: fun to watch, and there was a lot of comedy,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: which I really appreciated, and I thought they had some
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: good dramatic emotional moments. So I think overall, I think
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: it was a fun watch.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Wendy not enough Back to the Future easter eggs, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: overall really enjoyed it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: For me, This was like a ninety five percent really enjoyable,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and then the last five minutes, yes, ruined this movie.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: What I could totally see that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: We will discuss yeah, okay, my issues, but first let's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: talk about what we liked. And I am bursting to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: tell you how amazing Lea Thompson's skin looked in this
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: entire movie.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I thought, so too, I need to see how old
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: she is.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Hold on, I think she's sixty.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Stop it right now.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I would like to know her.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I feel like I loved her up too.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to know who does her work?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Tell me the injections you're getting.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Stop it. She is sixty years old, and man, she
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: still has like those cute little like dimples. I'm like, like,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I loved Leah Thompson and one of my most favorite ever,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: ever ever movies is Some kind of Wonderful from nineteen
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: eighty seven, and like, I loved her in that. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: she does still look amazing.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Sixty years old. Damn right, Yeah, I enjoyed her. What
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: we what did we like in this movie?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Well, so there was a lot of, like I said,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: funny moments. So one of the things I laughed really
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: hard about was when so Angie is trying to tell Ben,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: you know some things from the future, and she says, well, today,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I remember you're gonna choke on a gum drop and
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna save you. And knowing that, I like, he
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: wrestles with eating it. And then later you just see
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: him choking like he knew, like he still chose it
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to eat it. Yeah, and then I I love Chloe
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: as a character in general. She was just so absurd
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and was just all in on the ruse of being
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: you know, fake boyfriend and girlfriend. And I just thought
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: she was a really hilarious character.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was funny.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I loved her when they were like exchanging presents and
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: she's like, oh, look at my no he gave her
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a cookie and she's like, oh yeah, so providing or whatever.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: She's just all in. They're like, we needed to do this,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: you know this, this we got a like trick Tyler,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: and she's just all on board, like no questions asked.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Like I said, really liked the lead actress, Lindsay Fonseca,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And I have a super hard time seeing her last name.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I always have to like look at it before I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: say it. Anyway, I loved her. I thought she was
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: so great, a super natural actress that was likable, pretty
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to look at, Like, I did you like her, Megan?
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I loved her.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Great and I would love to see her in more
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Hallmark movies. But that's why I wonder. I was like,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I wonder, is she just making so much money from
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: her syndication checks from how I met my mother that
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: this is just like I'm just gonna take this and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that and whatever, you know, like it's not like real
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: work to her.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I mean she's young regardless,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: so even if she's raking in that steady income, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: would imagine she still wants to be working and make
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a name for herself, not as just like this nameless
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: faith on a couch. I enjoyed her, and I think
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: she could easily be the kind of person who is
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a regular on Hallmark movies.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And what I think she kind of has like the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: package to me, like she's funny, she can do funny.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I just liked her overall, Like you can tell on
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: some actresses like can't really pull off like the funny
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: stuff right. Anyway, I really liked her.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of Christopher Lloyd
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: we got in this movie. I had worried that they
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: had just played up the promo of him selling her
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that meeting today, and that was all we were going
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to get.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The Jason Hervey role. Yes, yeah, you thought it would
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: be just little.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, But I was pleasantly surprised to see that he
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: played a role throughout. You know, I wish they had
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: given him more to say, because he didn't really do
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: much except to say like, I can't tell you anything,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I can't say anything to you. But I was happy
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to see him throughout. It just felt comforting to see
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: him on that train. I enjoyed that. And I really
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: loved the IVF infertility storyline, and especially the scene toward
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the end of the movie with the two sisters laying
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: on the head when her sister tells her that they're
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: not going to continue and she says, we're just tired
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and started crying, and yes, that felt very real. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: thought they did a great job with that subject.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was on my list too, and I was like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: oh man, I'm going to like tear up trying to
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: say that that's one of my favorite because then, yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Angie says, you know, I know, like the future, and
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I you know, like just for her
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: to hear that, I'm like, oh, I bet that, just
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: like it just felt so real.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I do love when they do these time
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: travel movies that the person who's actually from the future says, Hey,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: look like I'm going to tell you what's gonna happen,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: and like that's always like funny as like a viewer
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: like oh, yeah, yeah that football game that they won
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: or you know whatever. I love when they do that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Wendy, did you like anything else about this movie?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things. I really enjoyed that the
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: story didn't rely heavily on a romance. It was more
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: about like Angie trying to figure out why she was
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: chosen to go into pass and then like what she
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: needed to kind of like repair and she was like,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you know, headed down the wrong path of like you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: because she thought she had to like say yes to
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Tyler or whatever. But you know, it was more about
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: like reuniting her family and like healing like that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Part of it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: That's what I really enjoyed about this movie. There was
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: one scene that I really enjoyed and it was when
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: they went to go like throw snowballs at each other,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: and then Tyler throws the first snowball and her ring
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: box is in the side the snowball. I was like,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: that is so clever. Now, maybe it's because I've never
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: seen a million Hallmark movies, but I thought somebody had
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a really good idea there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I had thought that was super well executed. I did
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: not see that coming at all. And even though I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: didn't want him to propose, I was like, that's real cute. Yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really cute.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: But in that same scene, like right after that, he's like,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: let's go, it's freezing out here. Yeah, Demi, you guys
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: are in the snow like you're to throw snow at
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: each other, Like why are you leaving now? I don't understand.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: But and the last thing that I really like there
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is I said at the beginning that there wasn't enough
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: back to the future like Easter eggs or like little
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: but they were very small little winks towards Back to
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the Future that I liked. One the vanishing ticket looked
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: like Marty's family photo was blurred out, and her reuniting
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: her parents on their first date which is very similar
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to like what Marty tries to do to get like
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: his mom and dad back together at the dance or whatever.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: And then at the very end when the train goes
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: back to the future like explodes or not. The train
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: doesn't explode, but it like it blows into a time
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: warp or whatever. And I kind of gave like the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: same vibes like when the Deloreum goes. Yeah, but you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: it was very small. I just wish it was more,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: but but I appreciated it.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's on a train at the end of
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Back to the Future three. So yeah, but that movie
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: was terrible.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: That's the Western themed one. Yes, yes, yeah, it's.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Awful, awful. I wish there was a whole like onegats
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: or something crazy like that would have made me just
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: laugh out loud and appreciate that as a you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: child of the eighties.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I know I was. I was waiting for
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a direct a direct line. But I thought it was
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a sweet almost tribute to that movie. Well, speaking of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: things we wished for, Kelly, what did you wish for
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in this movie?
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm the guess that I've got the same one
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: as you. I wish that Ben didn't wait ten years
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: to propose.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, that is just the very tip of the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: iceberg of my issues with Yeah, end of this movie,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and I don't know where to put this, but since
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we're talking about it now, I'm going to discuss the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: fact that all of a sudden, she's got to go
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: back in time right now, right now, right now, they
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: cannot get together, and she says, meet me in ten years.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: First of all, excuse me, who thinks, Okay, I'm just
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: gonna wait for you?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: We had this happen in another movie. Last year Christmas
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: comes twice and I guess he does wait for her.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But anyway, then fast forward and it turns out they've
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: been in a relationship. She changed history. That does not
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: make sense to me. He doesn't remember her going back
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: in time. Yeah, so somehow she changed his What that
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. That's not how time travel works. It
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't like all of that's.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Not how works. Right, But when she leaves.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: She says, wait for me. But apparently that just completely
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: changed the past. And they get together in this moment
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and they've been together, and the only way they retcon
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: that is by her going, oh, I remember now right, yes,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: proposed what no? The end? Yeah, make me believe it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: There has to be a better way to solve these
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: time travel issues, like why could they not have kissed?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And then she has to get on the train and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: then fast forward and then all of a sudden, yes,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: we have been together and they have like their baby
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and the new pasin right at the family Christmas.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would make much more sense because the other
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: the other thing that was weird is that she still
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: wasn't going home for Christmas. I mean, I guess they
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: were the next day, but it still seemed like, you're right,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: not still up workaholic or whatever, and yeah, it was
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: still working Christmas Eve.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And I didn't understand that. In the beginning of the movie,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: she goes to the train station to go home, she
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: comes back on the train, and then she just goes
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: back to work. Yeah, and then they're like, why aren't
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you coming home? She just did like you were coming home.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the timeline here, how she was able
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to go home but be on call. I'm okay, there
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: were some issues.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like they just kind of like mashed
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: it all up at the end, and we're just supposed
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to be like, oh okay, she's back and everybody's happy.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: It was a weird ending.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: What did you wish for Wendy?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't like how she's like, I love you,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: been like now she just realizes that she loves him, Like,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I just don't. I didn't know.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: No, I know. The sister's like, well we've all known it. Okay,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Well that doesn't I mean, maybe her feelings need time
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: to develop now that she's looking at him as someone
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: she might be interested in, right, because.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if she hasn't seen him intent what I This
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: is hard to make my brain wrap around. But yeah,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I just don't like it. Also, I didn't think that
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Ben and Angie had a ton of chemistry. Like I
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: don't totally believe them as like a present day couple.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: There wasn't a lot of like romance element of this movie,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: so them being together was only based on what we
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: know is that their lifetime of friendship, So right.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bought them as like these childhood best friends
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: who have like all this shared history and a close
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: maybe brother sister type BoNT. Yeah, but yeah, I wasn't
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: like looking deep into their eyes thinking this was true love.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Well, and I actually, like, you know, when in the
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: beginning of the movie where she's talking about Tyler, I
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: hadn't like looked that much at any of the promos
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: or anything with the leads, and I'm like, is this
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: the guy that she's spoke like? I didn't actually know,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: And then I looked it up and I'm like, oh,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: she is supposed to be with Ben and I yeah,
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: So I was kind of confused at the beginning of
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: where they were going to go with that story.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when they were showing him Tyler on the news,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I got a little confused to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I had from who.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Because Tyler doesn't look like he has the look of
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: like the boy that's going to get dumped. So I
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: was really confused. And it wasn't until you know, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: then when she gets like pushed into Ben's lap when
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: he's Santa, I'm like, wait, is she supposed to end
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: up with this guy?
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So that was me too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I was Likeay, where did this guy come from? Yeahah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I wish there was a better understanding of why her
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: parents weren't connecting anymore. It was just like they were
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: either they were divorced right in the present day, but
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: like never really understood why, like had they just grown
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: apart since their kids had grown up?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, I understood. Man, that hit me really hard.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I didn't I needed more. I mean it's
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: actually like that storyline. I was like, give me more
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they talked about, you know, like we
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: just don't really have any shared interests. And I guess
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they just, you know, once their kids were older, they
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: didn't have all this forced togetherness and they just hadn't
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: made an effort to kind of find each other again,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and they I felt like they just drifted apart, not
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: that they didn't love each other, just that they kind
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of stopped trying.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: And yeah, but why would the dad move to Arizona?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Like there was never any indication of like why he
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: was unhappy in Connecticut or wherever they're supposed to be living. Yeah,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know whatever. I mean, it was such a
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: side storyline, like of course it doesn't have to be
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: totally like flushed out, but whatever.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I wish that one of these families could say, Huh,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: our child has a very big life and it is
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: very hard for them to travel home for our traditional things. Yes,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: maybe those of us with nothing but time on our
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: hands could get on a train and travel to visit them.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. It's like, why are they giving
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: her such a hard time. She's a busy doctor. She's
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a busy surgeon, you know, so do guilt her.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: That was on my list too, and I wasn't sure
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: which category. But my sister is currently in her first
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: year of residency to be a surgeon, and so the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: year for them starts July one, and she had to
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: pick for her four weeks of vacation for the year,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: like in early June of this year. So and then
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: she's like, I think she gets a day off a
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: week And I'm like thinking, this girl, you know, Angie
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: is probably still in residency or if she went straight
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: through like just done. It's so I'm like, no, she
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't get to come home. You know. She gets it's
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: the schedule. She get like, we're celebrating with my sister
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: like the week after Thanksgiving because that was the closest
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: week she could get.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and are you giving her a hard time
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: about it?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Or do you actually understand?
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, We're like, okay, what day can you pick? We'll
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: all accommodate because our schedules are all more flexible. Yeah right,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I know. I didn't.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't like the guilt that they were giving her.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: And the sister especially was like, well you would know
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: if you called or whatever, Like, I.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Just eat that.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I know, Mike. Sorry, she's working sixteen hour days, just
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: trying to like do her dream job.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: It's time for did you see that where we discuss
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: things that made us laugh, plot holes, questions we have
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I loved there's a early in the movie. They're in
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the o R there's Christmas music and one of the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: other doctors says, I thought it would put us in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the Christmas mood, and Angie goes, wait, so I didn't
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: even her name? Did I just make that handy? Angie
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: goes to the season for miracle and it's just such
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a throwaway line, but she like delivers it perfectly. It
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: made me laugh. I thought, I know exactly who this
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: person is.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So I have just like a heading
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: of Tyler and then a bunch of things underneath him. Oh,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: let's hear it. So he had in the scene where
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: they're going home, you know, they flash back and he's
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: wearing like a mustard gold turtleneck and it's tucked in.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: That should have been our clue that he's not the
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: right person for her, but I still didn't know.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I think they struggled with aging their clothes tends right,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: But yes, even fashion not that much different twenty twenty one.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Exactly, especially for what well. And then so then his
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: pants later they're like, I mean, I think that short
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: ankle length pants are in now for men, but those
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: just did not well, they wouldn't have been in twenty eleven,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: and they were just I don't know, I don't think
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: they were the right type of ankle length pants.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: The snow in the snow, I was he wearing socks
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: or was he not?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, like loafers with.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yes. And then the way that he pets that little
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: bulldog when he comes in, he just kind of like
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: taps him on the head. That was that was great.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: For me. Eric his name is Eric Freeman Tyler. He
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: was a straight up baby version of Adrian Greneer.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Like him. Yeah, my husband said he looked like him.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: And who was the other person? Oh, he said he
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: looked like if Pete Davidson and if they could all
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: be brothers like they all have varying face facial features together.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I didn't really like him, like he was not him
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: as an actor. His character was kind of douchey, like
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I just didn't like the whole like sports guy I.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Don't know well. And this is one of my biggest
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: problems with Hallmark movies when they have the relationship that's
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: not gonna work out, is they always have to make
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the partner that's going away kind of a villain. And
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes relationships end and people aren't bad. Like, you can
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: have a relationship that doesn't work out and neither person
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: has to be an asshole for that to be the case. Yeah,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: like it didn't have to be. Hey, we gotta go,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: like ditch your family on Christmas. And I'm kind of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: this like a big shot sportscaster. By the way, I
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: don't think those two that phrase big shot sports casters
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: really well.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, unless you're like I can't nobody even comes
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: to mind. We watch a lot of sports around here,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: and I can't even remember, Like I can't even name
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: what a big shot sportscaster, right, Yeah, it's not I Yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: it's not like he's on the local news and he
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: would be like huge, Like who is Like I can't
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: even who hosts the Olympics, Like can you name somebody?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I mean since Bob cost Us, I don't know.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problematic, but yeah, Andrew was on FaceTime
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: in the locker room.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, I had that down too.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look everyone was dressed. But no, you don't know
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that beyond face time in the locker room. She should
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: go without saying.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Guys noticed this, but there's two scenes where they're at
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the restaurant. At the very beginning when she she and
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: her friend go out for a drink, like her coworker
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: and her go out for a drink, and then at
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: the end when she meets beIN there's a restaurant menu
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: board out front and it's blurry, blurred. It's blood word
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: except for like icy bolonnaise is the only word that
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: But I was like, that's bizarre.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Why did they do that? Like, okay, so maybe it's
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: an Italian restaurant, but I.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Don't why why? Yeah, could they not have put something
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: over the menu board or created their own in props?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: How much could this have cost? Or moved it? If
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: it was problematic in some way. Yeah, so bizarre. I'm
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: also in that restaurant when she walks in at the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: end of the movie and they're closing early. He's like, yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Christmas Eve not a busy time. No, No, Christmas Eve
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: pretty busy time for restaurants.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I think so too.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, weird.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: It must have been midnight when she got there.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at the end and closing early. But there's a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: restaurant that was here from my parents house that does
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a Christmas Eve dinner and they have this people line
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: up out the door to make their reservations when they
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: become available, and they take one person from the line
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and one person on the phone and one person from
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: So no Christmas Eve, pretty big deal.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, kid the nephew, Yeah Rick Henrick, Yeah, I've never
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: well I think I have heard that name before, but
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Henrick as a twenty twenty one.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Kid named nope eleven.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Right, you're right, But like that's somebody's like kid's name
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: who wrote the script? Right, Like, yeah, Hendrick's in here,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: yea Hendrick And Vanessa Vanessa's another like kind.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Of that was is that what the baby's name?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Vanessa. These are just names you don't hear no,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: at least I don't hear them. I thought it was weird.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I have here. I need to mention it again. Ben
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: is supposed to wait ten years. Yes, just marinate on that.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: That's some real positive self talk when you're like, yeah,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: this dude's gonna wait ten years for me.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: No, okay, But so in his mind, does he just
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: have like this little like voice in the back of
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: his head that says, wait ten years, wait ten years,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: like he's turning a blind eye to every other attractive
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: woman he sees or meets.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Or because somehow they magically have changed history and now
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they've been together for the past
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: ten years.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Because after she leaves on the train twenty eleven, Angie
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: would arguably pop up. Yeah, you know, right after she leaves,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: knowing none of this but still figured it out.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Look, time trouble confuses me. I will admit I'm in
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: a movie sometimes like wait, wait, I get very confused
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: about and now this is all supposed to work, But
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: it seems to me like if you go back to
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the future, now we go back in time, like the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: things that you do while you were in time like
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: obviously her parents are still together, right right, So like
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: some of the changes she made stuck people.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: And Ben chose the right law career. Yeah his law career, Yeah, yes.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Yes he remembered that. So how did they not remember?
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, what else did we see?
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like New York City that well? But
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like and we kind of touched on this
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: feels like Yonkers is too far away to be on call,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: like she'd probably have to like sleep at the hospital.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yes for sure, Like if it's a long train ride
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: beall as a surgeon, that person's dead.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: I know, Like I'm like, I feel like they're not.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: She's not going to be able to do a good
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: job there.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I loved Angie's two dresses that she wore. It
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: was a strapless burgundy at the party at Antmert's party,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: and then at the very end the one shoulder green dress. Yes,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I love them both.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: So that pretty lots of one shoulder dresses. Did you
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: buy her mom's dress as the thirty five year old style?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: No?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I had that down my list.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Did you say, toga?
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: That's what it looks like. It was a.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: It had a Grecian vibe for sure.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: But I thought it was very pretty on her. Actually,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: I thought she looked great, But I was like, this
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: is this was not a thirty five. We need a
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: puff sleeve?
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: What exactly?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, she needed a Jessica mcclint.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, a level skirt. Yeah, like a black velvet top
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: with a plaid skirt on the bottom. Yes, owned that dress.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Guys, they could have made that cute though.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Fourth great, Yes, they could have totally made that.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah that was weird.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Who has a thirty five year old dress just hanging
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: in the closet. It's not like shoved in the back.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it doesn't have like plastic over it or
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: something it covered in dust. Okay, Kelly, what did you
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: rate this movie?
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: So it's out a four?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, I think I'm gonna give it a three.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: All right, Wendy.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I thought I gave it a solid three point five
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: and I would definitely watch it again.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: WHOA, I know, I don't know what's happen on homework.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Look at last night I laid in bed and I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: watched a shoot Attex Christmas from like two years ago.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what is going on?
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Mean, has brains.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Gosh, yes, you watched multiple movies this weekend and that
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I did not need to review he did. Wow, I'm
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: really waffling. I'm going to give it the benefit of
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the dow and give it three stars. I'm very tempted
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: to give it two and a half because the ending
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: has lost me. Yeah, process of watching, but the ending
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. It doesn't. I liked it, get fun.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I thought it was fun too, But we're just supposed
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: to forget everything that happened in favor of this happy
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: ending proposal. And I'm strolling with that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: And I think they wanted to use that jewelry box,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: like that was why they did it that way, so
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: we could see him propose with that jewelry box. But
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I just feel like you.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Happy anniversary gift in that jewey ways around.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: They could have already been engaged. Friends. Next week we
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: have opened By Christmas, starring Allison Sweeney. This is the
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: secret Admirer letter that is found. We have my Family
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Christmas Tree. Wendy's not looking forward to this, although Andrew
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Walker isn't it. It also starts Amy T. Garden, who Wendy
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: struggled with in a New Year's resolution.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like Andrew Walker so right, and hold on,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I saw commercial this week and too, and I didn't
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: realize this, but like it's a DNA thing, but it's
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: maybe like a little bit of a mess up DNA thing.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm intrigued.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I'm intrigued.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: We also have Holiday Harlem, excuse me, a Holiday in
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Harlem and this one we've got Grandmamma Bell who expects
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: presence over presents, and I'm already getting like irritated family
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: expectation feelings from this movie. I think a Holiday in
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Harlem was actually filmed in Connecticut. We've got some big ones.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Make sure to hop on over to Megan and Wendy
• 40:55
