  Speaker 2: must get a movie star into shape before shooting his
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: next film starring Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Caitlin Striker, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Latanya Williams.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Before we do news and notes specific to this movie,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I have an Hallmark update.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Ooh, give it to me.

  Speaker 1: ha ha, you can't have him to another network who
• 2:02

• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Gone Homework Favorite taking a Shot at Love along with

  Speaker 2: I want there to be more and more. I need
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a Tyler Hines exclusive deal.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah I know, but he's I don't think he wants
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to go to ghak. But I do think he likes
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like he's in Letterkenny, and I think he likes to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be able to oh, to keep his options open.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Can they not work outside of Hallmark if they have.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: An exclusive deal?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I believe.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That's what that word means.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You guys, what this dog?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Ohay, stop, Humpy, lay down?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, hold on, you're out, You're out of here.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Let's talk to some news and notes about warming up
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: This film also went by a few earlier titles, including
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in Action and Love in Action. I personally like Love
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and Action better than warming up to You. I think
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it's like more playful and fun and you know, supports
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: like he's this action star.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I think warming up to You is kind of a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: terrible title.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Okay. You know we discussed in our
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: preview episode that Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell also starred
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: alongside each other in Chasing Waterfalls. But did you know
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that this movie is a real, real Chasing Waterfalls love story?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Devin Alexander, who plays agent Jared Monroe, was also in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Chasing Waterfalls. He plays the desk clerk in that movie.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Christy will Wolfe was the director of Warming Up to You.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: She was the director and the ep of Chasing Waterfalls MM.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: She also directed Where Your Heart Belongs, which was a
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Christopher Russell movie from earlier.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: This year that also starred Jared Monroe and Latanya Williams,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: who are in this movie.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It's a real family affair, indeed. I think Christy wilwolf
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: likes who she likes working with. Indeed, and there it
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is unless they're like knocking all these movies out at
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the same time. But I don't know.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, I really wanted to find the location of those
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: little cabins.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, uh huh.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It was very cute, but one of the reasons I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to find it, and there was very little information
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: other than you know, we know that this was filmed
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver. The preview for next week's movie A Tale
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of Love? Oh, okay, whatever, Romance to the Rescue? What
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: about the dog movie? What's the dog movie this month?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: There was one last month, there's one this month. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: think it's a Tale of Love, right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It's the Agility one. Yeah, I can't remember the name
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Right, it's one of the two. Anyway. The preview for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that features. I believe this exact same set, Oh really,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: but I couldn't find that information. And I did, look,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: what appears like this is the same location.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: We all know for sure next week or whenever that
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: movie two weeks yep okay. IMDb credits three writers for
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: this movie, including the scriptwriter W. Stewart. That's all they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: go by, based on a story by Kevin Sorry, based
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: on a story by Stephen Kent and Pamela Rice. Now
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Kent and Rice don't have any other like story or
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: writing credits at all on IMDb. I'm really I would
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: love to get like an insider's knowledge on like how
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that works exactly. How do you get credited? Like if
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I just say, like I have an idea about X,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Y and Z, then do I get that writing credit
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: or story credit even though somebody else like writes the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: dialogue for it and the rest of it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got no idea.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I need we need, we need somebody. We need to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: ask somebody.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Did they sell their script? Did they say, here's here's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: our story. Make it a script that I don't know?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I need to know how that works.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: How much money did they make?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I actually was trying to figure out because I did
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: notice that Kent and Rice were new and I did
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: some googling. The problem is they don't have photos, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: so I found another Stephen Kent, who was a writer,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but in a completely different genre, so it was impossible
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to know if it was the same person. I would
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: like to know more about the Kent and Rice writing team.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Let me stop you there for just a second. You know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Megan loves TikTok, guys. I mean I like it too,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: but Megan loves TikTok. And have you seen that recent
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the recent audio where it says like it's a genre,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's a genre.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It's a genre. Yeah, not everybody fixing that bad bitch genre. Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I have seen it a hundred times.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So now every time I hear the word genre, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: think about that. Maybe we need to make some sort
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of No.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: No, it's so funny. Guys. We're on TikTok at Megan
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and Wendy. So yeah, if you want to see our videos,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: join us over there. That's all I offer for news
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and notes, I mean, other than like all the same
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: stuff that you had already mentioned. This was filmed in Vancouver,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: British Columbia. It was filmed sometime around May twenty twenty one,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: so it's been in the can for a while now.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The last comment I would like to make is we
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: have talked about our campaign hashtag justice for Maddie in
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: regards to Mattie Finocchio's long run as the bestie in
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: these movies. Latanya Williams, who plays best friend Sasha Jones,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: has been in four movies in twenty twenty two alone.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Oh Wow, always a Moore, a second chance at love
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and where your Heart Belongs in addition to warming up
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to you. So I think we need a justice for
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Latanya hashtag I give that girl a lead role for real?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for first impressions of this movie?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, but was that a fat suit? I would
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like to play a clip from our preview of May episode.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You're telling me that Christopher Russell needs to get in
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: shape for him.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: They don't have that much time for a transformation, so
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: they got to start with him already hot.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: They need to put him in one of those, like
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you know, rene.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Highly offensive fat suits.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, those are the worst I was looking for.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, did Wendy call it? Or did Wendy call it?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Is there a fat suit? There's a fat suit.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, it looks like a pregnancy belly fat suit, right,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Would you like to hear the tweet? Yes? Someone, I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: actually don't have the tweet that started it. They commented like,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I can't with the wandering belly because of the fat
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: suit roams on Christopher Russell's body, and Christy will Wolfe,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the writer excuse me, the director of this movie says,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I failed with the belly. We had a whole suit made,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but it was too big and unrealistic for the weight
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he could lose in that amount of time, so we
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: went with someone else. Yike, I mean, could I do
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: an entire episode on why you should never use a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: fat suit? How horribly offensive this is? I don't need
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to because I got more coming. What's your first impression.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Of this movie? By far the best Sandy Besby movie
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I've seen.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, guys, there's only been two.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: So no no, no, no, no, no no no.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Heart's down under that one and Jason Waterfols that's two.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: This is the third of the three.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, this is three. Okay, two your point. When we
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: talk about what we liked about this movie, there's a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: lot that I cannot forgive, but I will say I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: have many terrible things to say, but I found the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: dialogue witty and quippy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I agree. I shout out to screenwriter W. Stewart, who's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: served up some very funny lines, plus a ton of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: pop culture like Easter eggs sprinkled throughout, which I really enjoyed.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is my next point. I loved the Bridgerton,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the Reggie John Page, the Outlander reference. Christy will Wolf
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: loves some sexy TV or screenwriter loves some sexy TV.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Because if you've seen Bridgerton Season one, who boy, is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that not Hallmark appropriate?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I don't. That's not for me, it's not.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's sexy super holy Moley.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I loved Latanya Williams as Sasha and Devin Alexander
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: as Jared, and I you know what, I'd really like
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: to see those two in a starring movie, like starring
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: opposite of each other. Yes, movie. I enjoyed their chemistry.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And there's just something about Devin Alexander that I find
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: very interesting to watch, Like he's like dry in his
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: delivery but funny at the same time.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent. When he comes in and tells
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: them to stop their offer of them dancing. I love him. Yes, yes, Yes,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: he's a delight. He's a delight. Lots of funny lines.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Kate as Cyndy Busby calls Rick Steele a celebrity manslainer,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: which I thought was hilarious. And when Rick tells Jared
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to light a match as he comes out of the bathroom.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, who does not love twelve year old boy humor?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Who doesn't love it? I do?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Me? Do? Do? I do? I like the character Minnie.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: She's played by Dolores Drake. I thought she was adorable
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and fun to watch it. Just liked how she fangirled
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: over Rick. And then she was, you know, the counter
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to Cindy Busby because her friend Sasha couldn't be like
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in the workouts all the time. You know it was
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: you know, so it was it was good good character
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: placement there or whatever.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Indeed, there was so much potential here. I agree this
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is the best Cindy Busby we've ever seen. I wanted
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to like it. I wanted to like it so much,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to need to do a lot of shouting.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have some shouting too, And let me start
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: with this first. Okay, it's a tweet and it's from
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and this is their handle at lulz y zero underscore
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: zero guys. I don't know what that's supposed to meaniszy?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Woolsey she or he tweeted watching a new Hallmark
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Channel movie where the female lead is a fitness trainer
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: who fat shames and food monitors everyone around her. And
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you can tell they're trying to paint her as quote
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: caring for people around her and quote trying to help
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the best they can be. And then it has like
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a barf emoji. So let's talk about the fat shaming
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and the food monitoring. Did it make you uncomfortable?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Okay? I will read you exactly what I wrote. I
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: cannot look past the extreme fat shaming at the heart
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of this movie. Is it a real thing for actors
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to deal with? Yes, there's a story to tell here
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: about the possibly unrealistic explanation expectations that we hold celebrities to.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Did it need to be a broader message of put
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the pizza down, fatty? No it did not.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, So question would Hallmark have made this movie if
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the it was a female who needed to lose weight
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: for a role and then hired a male trainer.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Is that how they're justifying it because they can joke
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: about his dad bod Maybe Yeah, it's still her message,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Cindy Busby's character, Kate's message, as that tweeter said, is
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: so aggressive. As they said fat shaming and food monitoring.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I tweeted last night, but a nutritious diet is not
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: simply green smoothies and roasted cauliflower. Eat the damn vegans
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: more my gosh, right right. Also, also a fitness camp
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for kids is fat Camp two point zero and Holy
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: fat phobia Batman. I cannot with this movie. How did
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: this get made?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. There are some weird and bad storylines,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: like the messaging is real bad, I hear you, And
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: as a viewer, I was like, why didn't they instead
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: like make Rick's gold, Like let's say he instead of
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: like needed to lose weight for a role, how about
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: like learning some specialized like sport or training, Like yes,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: what if what if Kate's like an expert in MMA
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: or a yogurt yogurt yoga expert or something like they
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: could have still like illustrated the journey like Rick had
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: to go through without being a weight loss journey.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, and they could have been like, oh the studio
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: wants me ripped ie roll right, like they could have
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: We get that there's this expectation that celebrities look like
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: this all the time, but that was not the story
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that they were telling.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Right right, right, and and to your note for that,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you know, kids fat camp or whatever, this is how
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: they could have spun it. So her parents die of cancer, right,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and she says, like she meets like some girl or
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: something or other, how about make a camp for kids
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: whose parents are going through like a cancer treatment, you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: make it anything, Yes, yes, anything anything. Yeah, it doesn't
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: have to be like this hyper focused like kids need
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: to be healthy, because the messaging with that that I
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: had a problem with as a cancer survivor is made
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: me feel guilty like Cyndy Busby's cats parents didn't take
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: care of themselves and therefore got cancer and died. Right. Yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: there's thoughts always this straight correlation between one, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: A and B, especially with a disease like cancer.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, and they could have used her love of fitness
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: in the camp. Like, you know, I've found being active
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to be great for my mental health and to be
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a great distraction. And so these kids are coming to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: camp and they get to connect with other kids that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: are going through it, and we have fun. You know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: we do sports and we do relays and whatever it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: is as part of it, but not as you need
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to be fit. Fit is a terrible word to use
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: for children.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, I agree, I agree, I wish and this
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is it's just such a side note. But so instead
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: of Rick, the excuse was that he put all this
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: weight on because he went through a breakup, right, Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: it would have been funnier if he was like, yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that pandemic, you know, yes, because he's an actor who
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: would have been like out of work because the pandemic
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like clos things down for a while, and he could
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: just been like, yeah, like everybody else who put on
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: twenty pounds, you know, like humanize him a little bit
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: and in like reality of what our world is going through,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: but still make it funny. It doesn't have to be
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: like because his ex girlfriend thing was such a like
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: throw away storyline that did not even need to exist.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I am so with you on that and the big
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: thing that I wished for in this movie was for
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: better pacing, because I felt like we almost had two movies.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: We had the first half where the training takes place,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and we kind of come to a resolution at the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: halfway point, and then we have the second half of
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the movie where we have Kate trying to launch a camp.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Kate and Rick are exploring their feelings for each other.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Rick X returns, there's drama there, she leaves again. Then
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: we have Sasha and Jared exploring their relationship. There's too
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: much happening. And I one hundred percent agree that one
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of the things we could have eliminated was the return
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of ricks X. It was not necessary to the story.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought the movie was pretty slow because, like
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you said, the bulk of it relied on like Rick's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: fitness journey, right, and it had to be slow because
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: it couldn't have just happened overnight, like we all realized,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: like if you were trying to get in shape, it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen immediately. But like you said, like that comes
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to like a conclusion at the halfway point, and then
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: we have like these other weird, like you know, hanging
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: storylines that really maybe didn't like support the other one.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, agree, it has me I like feeling all over.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: The place because I like, I like some of it,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and then I hated some of it, and then yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes, I wanted to like it. I am
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: rooting for Cindy Busby and this is not her fault.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: There is. I don't She did the best with the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: material she was given, and I think had the messaging
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: been different, I would have rated this movie entirely different.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, So, speaking of body shaming, I also wanted to
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: share an IMDb review.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Oh I saw it, go ahead.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It says who thought making Cindy wear spandex and ugly
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: ones was a good idea? Her figure did not look
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: good in them. And what I would like to say
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: is scfu, like shit, don't go on to IMDb to
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: review a movie and then criticize the way somebody looked
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and something that they were wearing, Like.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: What, yeah, she looks great first of all and second
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of all, well, I was thinking as I was watching,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like how great? Just just spend the entire movie in
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: workout clothes, like you know, and you don't have to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wear those canvas Cameron heels all week long?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Right? I read this review prior to watching the movie.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: And then I saw the movie and I was like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I would kill for her little stacked booty. She looked great,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: So she does look great. Shut up, And I'm sure
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: it was a dude that wrote it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: You know, honestly, the fat phobia is so pervasive. I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised if it was a woman. True,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: this is true, just as guilty that we are. Are
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you ready for did you see that?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Okay? Sure?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: The entry of Santa Monica. Jim couldn't be less Santa Monica.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: It's like looking out over the mountains. It has this huge, wide,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: expansive driveway. There's no space. There is no space for that.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: There's no freaking mountain. Yes, there are Santa Monica mountains,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that's not where this is. I was just like, could
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: we have put a green screen of like an ugly
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: city skate behind there, because that's what you're gonna get
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: across the street from an actual gym in Santa Monica.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought it was weird. It was very lodgy.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it was very Vancouver, which I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: like Vancouver, but it didn't read Santa Monica.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Okay. The sticker chart that Kate makes for Rick. Gosh, yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: why is it hanging in Kate's room? First of all,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it should be it's beneficial to Rick to see his progress, right.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but the huge thumbs up stickers it maybe? Lol?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: It was so bad.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were really bad. Why were they so big?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Why is it like a poster and not an eight
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and a half by eleven sheet of printer paper. He's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: not a preschooler.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. It was weird, okay.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Roasting cauliflower, Oh my gosh. First of all, can you
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: will it actually cook if you put it on a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: skewer and put it over fire like that? Will it
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: get like to be that roasted yummy cauliflower? I probably eventually,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: but it's not gonna toast like a marshmallow. I mean
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you're gonna sit there for fifteen minutes roast in your
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: damn cauliflower. So I like roasted cauliflower. I like roasted vegetables.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I think they are a delicious food. They're not freaking dessert.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: No, that was weird, Like enjoy the vegan. I mean,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: aren't marshmallows vegan anyway?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: No, they're not, because they have gelatin in them. But
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: here's here, Here is my big complaint. Vegan doesn't mean healthy.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Like that's like saying like gluten free is healthier for you, know,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: it's not. It is a removal of a product that
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you may have a personal objection to ora intolerance for.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But the fact that something is sugar free or gluten
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: free or plant based doesn't necessarily make it immediately healthier
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: for you, Like as somewhere is a perfectly fine dessert
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: as long as you're not eating thirty some mores as
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: your entire diet for the entire day.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she was not gonna allow that to happen.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: You know she wasn't. But this messaging is super dangerous, Like,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: don't ever you're at a party, don't endult dulge, bring
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: your own cauliflower and spices to roast over the I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: would know I would walk into the sea if you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: handed me cauliflower to roast while everybody else is having
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a some more.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: No, speaking of the sea, did you see their head
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to toe wetsuits plus gloves.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: When they were like freezing it? Had you been freezing cold,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: they must have been in dry suits.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It's a suit that doesn't let the water through.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, how's that different than a wetsuit?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Because a wet suit is water permeable, it just warms
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it up against your body. A dry suit is you're
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: dry on the inside.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Who knew? Yeah? I mean, if they were filming this
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: in May of last year, yeah, I had to be
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: freezing well.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: And if they're somewhere in Canada in some lake with
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: icy mountain rumoff, I would imagine it's quite cold.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Why couldn't they have just like did a different exercise.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I kind of liked the water scenes, although they did
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that paddle board and they're kind of floating in the water,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and as far as I could tell, they had one
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: paddle board that Rick gets on, and then all of
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a sudden they're both on a paddle board. I was like,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: where was the other one second of all, they were
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: in the middle of this lake or wherever they were,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: How did they get out there? Because she's like teaching
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: him how to paddle? How'd you get out away from
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the shoulder?
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Did you?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm nitpicking here, I know, I know you know
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that the best best part of this.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Movie was the terrible dancing.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Oh no, but I do have that cringe worthy dancing
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and it was entirely too long.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad they had Devin Alexander's character call it
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: out Nora Nether regions.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I okay, so I read about it, but I never
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: caught it when I watched it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So that's the character name that Rick's x is given
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in the movie that they are going to star in
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: together in other regions. It's like the Hallmark appropriate pussy Galore.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Oh just yes, okay, I get it now, Yes, thank
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you for putting it all together for me. Now it's funny.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It made me laugh.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to read this movie?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I am. I'm ready.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, I want you to go first.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Oh one star? Really, I can't. I can't. It is honestly,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I think it's what's the word, what irresponsible?
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Okay? I gave it three stars.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: If I were to remove everything I'm mad about, I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: would be a three star movie for me too. But
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I cannot. No, I can't do it. I'm so sorry.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I hear you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I hear you too. I get I do understand where
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you're coming from. I was just real mad. I mean,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I have like all caps in my notes. I was
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: like tap tap tap tap tup tup tup table like
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: on my computer last night as I was taking notes.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, well that was interesting.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, next week is road Trip Romance, where
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be equally angry because it's gonna be Green,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Green City.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not looking forward to it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I did think the preview was kind of cute.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Really, AKA, no, I'm no, no, I can't get excited
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: for it. I'm sorry.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Well we shall see. Am I gonna come back and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: rage against the writers of this movie? What horribly offensive
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: take are they gonna have in this movie? We shall
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: find out. If you love this podcast, we love you too.
