• 1:46
  Speaker 3: dot com, which is chuck full of information. We encourage
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: you to take a look at it. But Wendy wrote
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: a post all about what to look forward to and
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: count down to Christmas, and I think that really lit
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: a fire. It got me hyped Christmas hyped.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Bells are ringing. I have to confess that I bought
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: my first Christmas gifts this past weekend too. I'm just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I'm getting in. I'm ready for the holidays, all right.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not quite with you there yet, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: well I am not. I'll be honest, I'm not ready
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: for Christmas.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We just decorated for fall, and I'm like, oh, it's
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the season, like.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: All the holidays, all the decor all this stuff. Are
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you ready? Should we answer? The obvious question is how
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do I watch these movies? Sure?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, So if you don't have cable, you're wondering how
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: do I watch? You do have some options you can choose,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: like a cable like service like a YouTube TV, which
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: is less expensive than cable. It's gonna give you a
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: ton of channel options, and they do include Hallmark.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: That's one way that we watch our movies.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: There's some other streaming services like Fubo which has a trial,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and Friendly, which Wendy and I are huge fans of
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: ye that you can subscribe to.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And Friendly is really affordable.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: It has all the Hallmark channels, it includes Lifetime. It
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: has some other channels as well well.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And this is not an ad.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Friendly sponsorship, although we would welcome that Count On to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Christmas sponsored by Friendly Girls Gone Homework. But one of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the best things.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: About it is if you forget to record a movie,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you can go back seventy two hours and just click
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: record in the guide and poof, it's there. It's like Magic.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think their guide for searching for movies and you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can like skip days and it's so easy to use.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I almost prefer to watch itty homework movies on the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: friendly app versus I have direct TV because there it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not as easy to find. Nice anyway.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we always do a news and notes segment on
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: our movie reviews. We're gonna do a quick countdown to
• 3:43

• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like is missing is Balsam Hill. No Balsam
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Hill partnerships this year.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I guess we're gonna have to watch very carefully for
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: that paid product placement.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Hu interesting. Maybe they bounced to GHAK too. Oh no,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: oh no, can we talk about who is missing? Speaking

• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Danica mckeller, they're all over at GHAK now, which is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: now GAFF by the way. Oh, why they changed their
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: great American family. What was it before a great American country? Oh? Interesting? Okay,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: well whatever, goodbye. So no movies from them this year.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But I also noticed that Autumn Reser is not in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the Countdown to Christmas lineup. That's a bummer. I really
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: loved her in the Wedding Veil trilogy. I hope she
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: has a hit new year, new movie offering come Me Too,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: me Too and not my favorite, But Cindy Busby not
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: listed as a Countdown to Christmas movie actor? All right,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: do you want to go movie through movie? Is that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: how we're gonna do this? Yeah? And we're also gonna
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like give our first impression watch skip Yeah, okay, all right. Friday,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: October twenty first, on the Hallmark Channel, Noel next Door,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: starring Natalie Hall and Corey Seaver. Would you like me
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to read the synopsis? A hard working single mom gets
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: into a war of words with a neighbor who she
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: feels is ruining Christmas, only to find that this misunderstood
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: grouch just may steal her heart. Do you think her
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: name is Noel? Oh? Probably? Okay, I don't want to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: say I don't want to be negative Nelly, but this
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is a terrible first offering.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: That's so funny because I think this is, while it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: not going to be their best movie, I think this
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: is a nice.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Middle of the road. It's October twenty first, nobody's that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: jazz for a Christmas movie. Yet it's real classic Hallmark.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's a nice slow entry, all right. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: don't like slow entries, and I don't want to be negative,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: but I really don't like Natalie Hall movies. They really
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: don't do it for me. It's not her. I think
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: she's lovely, she's very cute, she's a fine actor. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: just think the movie rules she gets are mid grade movies.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: So you know, Natalie Hall famously starred in For a
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Prince in her Yolo T shirt, but she and Corey
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Severe all so starred alongside each other in Road Trip Romance,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: so they apparently liked the chemistry that they had. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: assume these two like working together. I am gonna hope
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that bodes well for this movie, because they already knew
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: each other.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I completely forgot these are the two Bosos that carried
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: around those ugly suitcases because they were pitching toys to companies. Right,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna blame the props department and not these two bosos.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not being mean. I just hated that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: movie too. Oh my gosh, all right, next step.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Next up is We Wish You a Married Christmas, airing Saturday,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: October twenty second on the Hallmark Channel, which stars Mary
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: soul Nichols and Christopher Polaha. Becca and Robbie are a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: married couple having a hard time connecting with each other
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: as the holidays approach. Just before Christmas, they head to
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a cozy Vermont and the advice of their marriage coach
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: so they can recharge. The weekend away gets unexpectedly extended
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: when a mishap puts their car out of commission and
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: may just put them on the road.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: To a happily married Christmas. I'm intrigued by this one,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and let me tell you why I was very hard
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: on Christopher Paloha last year. He wasn't I'm sorry. He
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: was in that Scrooge movie. Do you remember, Gosh, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: really liked that movie. I remember, yeah, and I was like,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that great. But now in retrospect,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he was actually really good in it. So there's that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: What else also intrigues me? Is that this is a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: married couple. This isn't like two long lost school friends
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: who now reconnect and blah blah blah whatever, Like this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is a movie made for somebody who is in my
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: stage of life. Yeah, so I'm excited about this one.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: As am I and Mary sol Nichols place REMINDI Lodge
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: on Riverdale. Oh so, I think we're getting a little
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: more of the kinds of things we've been personally asking for.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: A little bit of a later in life roaming. Yes. Yes,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: next step is we need a little Christmas. Airing Saturday,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: October twenty second. This one is on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.

• 12:30
  Speaker 1: develops an unexpected friendship with her older neighbor Irene. This
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: could be nice.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: This could be nice. It's movies and mysteries. It may
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: not be classic boy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Meets girl, happy ending story.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I'm again, this is just a little bit different enough
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: that it makes me excited.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: About it. Me too?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: And I love Erica Durance, Oh me too. And I
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: think this opening weekend is kind of a nice mix.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, we've.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Got the opening with Natalie Hall and Corey Severe like
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: they're gonna fall in love, new romance, We've got the
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: struggling relationship, We've got our grieving parent.

• 13:41
  Speaker 1: her in a while. Mary Leu Henna. That kind of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: entices me. We haven't been talking about if we were
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: going to pass or skip these ones. Oh no, so
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to skip this? I think I might skip
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this one. It's because it has the whole trope of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: like reconnecting with her teenage crush returns to her hometown.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so since we did not do which of
• 14:06

  Speaker 3: holiday movie.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: The title is also triggering memories of another movie like Lights,

  Speaker 1: mean I wish I could come up with better titles,

  Speaker 1: A Maple Valley Christmas starring Peyton List and sexy Andrew Walker.
• 21:37

  Speaker 1: she starts to question what it is she actually wants.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a real vague. That doesn't even sound
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: like a Christmas movie. It could be any movie.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of why I like it. Look, I
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: would watch any Andrew Walker movie. It goes without saying, however,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I kind of like that it's not set in like
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: the snowy small town or in the big city.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: We don't really get Christmas movies on a ranch. It
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: seems like it's going to be fresh to me. Okay,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a little break for the census, Okay.

• 22:35
  Speaker 3: producer X as an engagement announcement. Her family insists that
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: he join her on the trip. I don't typically like
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: movies with singing in them. It turns me off.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: However, Ladissi is a sixteen time.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Grammy nominee and a Grammy winner as well, so they
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: have really brought the talent to this movie.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I hope she gets to sing. I hope. So I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: kind of like the idea that it's like a the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: media mistakes these two for being together and like what
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: unfolds from them. But I'm kind of worried it's gonna
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of hygiene cy, you know. It's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: giving me.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Like an unexpected Christmas vibes where Tyler Hyes and Bethany
• 23:12

• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I might be into this, me.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Too, except I think it's a miss to put these
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: two musical movies back to back, even though they are
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: a week apart.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: They are a week apart, right, But is this gonna
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: be like Glee Club? Like a rival? Like? I mean, yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I kind of get into that. It could really make
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: or break it on the quality of the high school choir.

• 34:09
  Speaker 1: last year's movie My Family Christmas Tree. Next up, hashtag Xmas.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I hate this title so much. It's very progressive for Hallmark,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I know, and I again it was not designed with
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: search in mind. No.

  Speaker 1: the Queen's dogs. And you know, I don't like a

  Speaker 3: the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm gonna watch this me too. I have
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: so many questions. First of all, First of all, when
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: did they film this movie? Was it actually done during
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Christmas in New York? Probably not, as I say that,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I would guess not. The rackheads do like six shows
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: a day, oh four shows a day. They're constantly performing,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: so I would imagine it was filmed not during the
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: holiday season. So it's gonna be sweeping views of New
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: York be roll. Yes, okay. Also, Gina Claire Mason is
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Glunda from Wicked on Broadway. I didn't know that. And

  Speaker 1: Derek Klina, your guess is as good as mine. Tony
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Award nominated for Jagged Little Pill. Nice. We have a
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: great cast and jam Brady and Jan Brady and Ann
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Margaret both. You know, yes, it is a great cast.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Of course I'm gonna watch it. I of course, I
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: can't wait. I love anything that is set in the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. And then we were talking about like putting,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: like high society wedding plans, like so scandalous. I am
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: so excited for this movie. Have you ever seen the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Rockets perform? No? They When we were in New York
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: last Christmas, the Rockets were dark because of COVID. Oh,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a little hokey. I think people would
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: think it's a very quick show. It's an hour. There's
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: multiple shows a day. It's very centrally located. I think
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: it's worth seeing if you ever have the opportunity. Is
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: it just a kickline the entire time? Or do they
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: know they do lots of different like that. I love
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: watching dance, so they do lots of different. They do
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: their classic kickline, but they've also got lots of very
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: cool It's it's a Christmas moment. Man. If I could
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: go to New York this Christmas, I would again. Next up, Friday,

  Speaker 1: terms of an ensemble cast, in terms of because that
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: movie was felt like a movie movie to me. I'm
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: wondering if, like, if they're continuing to get the same
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: kind of budget as that movie did. Agree I like

  Speaker 1: Molly and Jacob, but their new romance is put to
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: the test when they realize they are competing Deli ownersikes.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: This feels like real close to dangerously stereotypical kind of

  Speaker 1: Willehna Kamercle keep them together. I'm really hoping that Julie
