  Speaker 1: from Long Story Short the podcast. I'm Megan, I'm Wendy,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and today we are discussing our thoughts and opinions of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a royal runaway romance from the Hallmark Channel, part of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: their Spring and to Love series. Before we get to that,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I'd like to invite each and every one of you

  Speaker 1: getting in there. I know me too. There's some super
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: fans in there with a lot of inside information. Yes,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I love it, indeed agree, So hop on over and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: join us over there. Let's talk about a royal runaway romance.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Would you like to start us off with a synopsis? Sure?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Princess Emelia of Bunbury travels across America to explore a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: budding romance with an artist, only to fall in love
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: with her bodyguard, Grady. Wooo. I have Amelia and Grady
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: written in big bold letters across the top of my
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: page because I will never remember anything, I know. I yeah, agree,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: except I remember Wes the Artist because she said Wess
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a million times in this movie. Indeed, So let's talk
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: about some news and notes about this movie. I'm going
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to admit my list is a little bit light mine too.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Not a ton of content out there about this movie.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that tells us things about these that they're not
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: very good. But of course it was filmed in Vancouver
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in February. I have a shooting began January thirty first
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and wrapped February twenty first, four weeks. Oh that's a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: long shooting schedule for a Hallmark kind of I thought
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: so too. And it was cold. We know that because
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the actors told us, and we know it because we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: can see their breath in many many scenes. I you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't even notice. There's a scene where they're sit
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: standing outside talking with the B and B owners, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: all four of them you can see their breath as
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they're chatting. Their chins are chattering. Her and Amelia is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in like a spring dress. That's funny. Funny, wrap that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: crochet blanket around your shoulders. I mean, this movie is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: notable for being it. Okay, the stars, she's Amelia her
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: name is Philippa Philippa. I'm a terrible enunciator of all things,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so Philippa Northeast. That's an interesting name anyway. This is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: her first homework movie. Yeah. I actually thought she was
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: real cute. She's Australian. I enjoyed her as a new face.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Oh totally. I would welcome her back. I thought she
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was this is a decent actress. Yeah. And then we
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get brand Daughtry, who we know from The Baker's Son
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on Hallmark, but I think he's probably most well known
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: from his role on Pretty Little Liars. Oh really, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: don't remember him being I only watched like the first
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: two seasons of The Jade Nol and he was in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: twenty seven episodes of that show. I've never seen beyond
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the first two or three episodes. But he looks like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: is it Matt. We talked about this and when we
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: were reviewed the Baker son. Oh, Matt, Matt Bomber. Yeah
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he does it looks like Matt Bohmer. Yeah. Yeah, I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a strong jawline. Yeah. What do you think about him
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: as an actor? I think he's real cute. I think
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he is not top five Hallmark dude for me. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: think he could crack that. Though I find him charming
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and sweet. I found his tweets very amusing. We'll get
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to that label. Knowing someone in quotation marks, knowing them
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: outside of a movie always elevates them or I guess
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it depends on how much I enjoy them, but enjoying
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: them outside of their movies elevates their performance in the movie.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: For Gotcha, gotch you got you, got You. That's all
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I have for news and notes. I don't have anything else. Well,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you did get the answer to your question that you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: posed in the Spring and to Love preview episode which
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is still available on our channel, which is where the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: heck is Bunberry? I ask that, and that yes, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I said it's a fake place, and you said, I know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: but where is it? Oh? Yeah? But did they ever say,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: like we know that it's in Europe? Because when they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: are in the bar nance and she is recognized, they go,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: isn't that that princess from that country in Europe? From
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that country? And Europe? I think they say from somewhere
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in Europe, but they do say Europe. So that is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: one mystery solved. I would never recognize any royal person ever,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: other than Megan Markle. Maybe, Oh well, I watched every
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: episode of Suits, so i'd recognize me work as an actress,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I think, but not as like a princess. Imagine you're like,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: let's say Disneyland. I think she's very recognizable. I would
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: recognize her. I recognize without an entourage. I would recognize her.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: She was just there with like her two kids pushing
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a stroller. Recognize Princess Kate as well? Really, yeah, are
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you not into the Royal? I am zero percent into
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: what I recognize a Swedish royal, No, just the English one.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I would recognize Kate and Meghan, Yeah, I would, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Harry and I think Will could easily blend into the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: background and the Dad Jans's. It's so fascinating to me,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: like why Americans are so interested in like royalty stories
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I just don't. Maybe it doesn't have royal
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It does nothing for me though, Like I don't but
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: maybe like I was never that kid that like dreamed
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: about my wedding and like played fairytale stuff, Like maybe
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it just is another thing. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. Hm,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: what was your first impression of this movie? My first
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: impression of Royal Runaway Romance. Was that the movie poster
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: told me that this one was going to be bad,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and it was. Oh huh. I will leave a photo
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of it in our show notes. I just thought that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it was bad. The movie poster was bad. It was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: very tail tale, and the movie lived up to that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: lack of expectation for you. Yes, I said, this is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the hallmark we've been missing, and not in a good way.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And I think you know what I mean, and we'll
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: explore it a little bit more. Okay, all right, all right, good.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: There were plenty of things I liked about this movie.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Oh Colling, Well, look, I liked the Mustang. I thought
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it was a fun set piece and fun fact that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is the same Mustang driven by Tyler Hines as Luke
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in Roadhouse Roaming. Thank You, another alliterative movie title. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: liked that movie. I did too. I liked Lauren Milna
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: quite a bit as well. It's a cool car. I'm
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: not really like a car person. I know lots of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: people are like I drove a sixty five Mustang. Yeah,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I mean for me, like the convertible was it a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: convertible or no? Yeah, I mean that's a Brandon Walsh car. Totally.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about Beverly Hills nine o two and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: oh circa thirty freaking years ago. But yeah, yeah, that's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of Yeah. This like baby blue Mustang, was
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. However, have you ever written in a convertible?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: That is a good question. Yes, I have it. My
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: hair gets all crazy and nodded and out for sure
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: now that I think the top up is top is
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: up in most of this movie. But they're loud. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: would never choose a sixty five for a cross country
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: road trip because it is going to be loud. The
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: car is loud, or the with the convertible down as loud. No,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: even with it up, because you've got a soft top,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: there's no so you're hearing like a road noise and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: like the wind battering the car. And oh no, yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I like. I like a really insulated driving experience. Likes
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a real roomy suv with no sound from the It's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: not even so much that I like the suv, but
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I do. I don't want four days of drag. Yeah
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I hear you, No thanks, no thanks. That car doesn't
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: even have like a real radio in it, you know
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Unless it's been like it probably has radio,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Like you can't, like with
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a dial that you turned serious satellite radio on in it. No,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you can't even like plug in your phone, like there's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: no bluetooth in there though nothing Correro and they just
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: have to talk to each other the entire time. Well,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they do dance at some point, so there must be
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: some music. The dance very badly, but oh i'd see it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't listen. I watched. It's that she
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: basically cabbage patches. It's very bad, like in the car.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: In the car, she did it like seet dancing. Yea, yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: oh funny. Okay, that's funny. Are we on to the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: liked part? Yes, ma'am okay. The scene where they stop
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: at the Nevada diner, uh huh. I only liked it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: because it was reminiscent of when we drove to Las Vegas,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and as you said that, I just remembered that we
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: stopped at a random roadside diner too, and like it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gave me the same feels. It was in the middle
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. We had apple pie. Mm hmmm. Yes, it
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: was windying hot, very windy. Yeah, if we can locate
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that picture. We'll drop it in the show notes. Yeah
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, that's that made me laugh when they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stopped there. That's funny. I didn't recall that moment watching
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the movie, but the second you said it, I can,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I can. I remember everything about that. Yes, So on
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the road trip of many green screens, what I liked
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: were all of the both physical and digital state sign transitions.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was cute. I thought that was a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: really cute addition. My family has been known to take
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a road trip or two, and whenever possible, my husband
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: really loves to pull over and take photos at the course. Yes, yes, yes,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's very hard to do. I always feel like
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: this is not allowed. I always am afraid we're going
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to get in trouble. But certainly that's the thing people do.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And sometimes they're not in a good location, so you
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can't get to know because someone from California to Arizona
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is like not a place that you can pull over
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and take a picture. Yeah, it's like on a crossing bridge. Yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so sometimes it doesn't work, but we've taken a picture
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in front of many of those. I just I liked that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I liked that detail. Well done. That's very cute. I
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: enjoyed when they were at the county fair. I thought
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it was really sweet. Made me wish we had like
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: things like that where we live. Like we have county fairs, guys,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: but it's not like the sweet little town county fair. Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's enormous and expensive and your wait in line for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes for people there. Yeah. Yeah, agree. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: would like a small, little city county fair. Yeah, a
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: little city county fair with like a little band and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like yeah, like it would just be so cute. Yeah,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: do I need to move to a small town? Look,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: let's do it. Okay, come on, all right, I you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: know we're gonna say it, guys. I love bj Harrison
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: thrilled to see her in two movies this month. We
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: most recently saw her in Second Chance at Love as Mima.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: We get her again as Rosemary. She's just this voice
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of reason, kind warm spot in the movie. She was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: very sweet to Amelia, kind of almost the man figure
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that Amelia doesn't have. Oh yeah, for sure. I'm just
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I'm always happy to see her on screen. I mean,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I think she says yes to everything, right, sure, She's like,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you want me to work for a day? Okay. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: wonder if like the money is worth it, because if
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: she has to go to Vancouver, do they stop to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: like isolate when they get there. I don't know. But
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they're getting paid, They're not like they're getting flown there.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I don't like she's flying the Vancouver on her own dime.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I get it, but it's just like a lot, like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna work for one day, but I gotta travel
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to Vancouver and then I gotta do this, and it's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: gotta be worth it. Sure got like a stipend, like
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a three hundred dollars stipend. Sure it has to be
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: worth it. I would imagine they're making it worth her time.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Put BJ Harrison in a lead role, give her a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: starring role justice for BJ. Yes. I like the uncle
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Andrea spell. I thought he was supportive and fun. He
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: was played by Vincent Gale, who has like a real
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: deep resume, but like nothing I'm familiar with. Yeah, he
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: was not familiar to me at all. No, but I
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Also. I liked him. He was like, yes,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: get her out of it. I don't know, it was
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: just cute, like he's like you could take this car. Yes,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: he was the nice foil to her queen mother and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I liked their relationship me too. I thought the artist
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Wes was kind of cute. Oh and it was really
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting to me how like they connected or
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: did they actually kiss at one point? I think they did,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: like super early on. I think he's played by Andre Anthony,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and I thought he looked really familiar, but like he
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: has like a handful of like TV movies and stuff,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: but nothing I've seen. So he was in like a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: couple episodes of Riverdale, but I haven't watched that many,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: so I wouldn't have been from there. I meant to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: mention this you mentioning Wes's resume. Did you know Brent
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Daughtry is also a writer. He and his wife wrote
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a Christmas movie, Christmas, which was a twenty nineteen Hallmark
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: movie that was pre Girl's Gone Hamewark. So no, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: didn't know. Yes, his wife's name is Kimberly Daughtry. They
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: do have a son, and Brandt and Kimberly both star
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in that movie. Oh wow, interesting, So that isn't out
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of place and news a note. I'm sorry, I just
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: didn't make my list, but it was in my head. Hmmm. Interesting,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and his Twitter bio says that he is a soon
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to be director. Oh of a Hallmark movie. You think
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I would imagine keep it in the family. Okay, okay, Hey,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: what did you wish for? Less car scenes? The green
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: screen is so bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad. Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You know, they had some great filming locations. They managed
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to take all of these places in Vancouver, and they
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: made it look like they were on a rant. They
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: made it look like they were in a small town.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: They made it look like they're, you know, in all
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of these places. And yet so spend more time I'm there.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I don't really need all of the in car interactions.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: All of those conversations could have happened in a diner,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: could have happened at a coffee shop. I find the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: green screen flying via the windows to be very distracting.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You're on a sound stage and you got a digital window.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I boo boo. I want to add a note from
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: our Facebook group. Michael says that he thought the very
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: mountainous depiction of Nebraska was laughable. Oh is Nebraska flat?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Nebraska is flat? Good to know. I've never been there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know the great planes of Nebraska, do they
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: get a lot of tornadoes whipping through those planes that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know either that I don't know.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I wished West starts out as this dreamy artist who
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Amelia's falling for, and then he leaves, goes home, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it is a very sharp one eighty from Wes the sweet,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: dreamy artist to West the kind of a dick. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: thought so too, And I thought they needed to ramp
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: up to that a little bit because we know that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Wes is not the endgame in this movie. We know
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that it's Grady. But the second she calls Wes, when
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: she's in the car with Grady, even before that, when
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: she's headed to California, and basically he's like, yeah, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: can't make it work. Now. Not that I, on a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: very practical level, don't understand that someone who's an artist
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: who has a show in a week probably can't fly
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: out to California. This is a Hallmark movie. I can
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: suspend my disbelief on many things. I needed him to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: give a little bit more. I did not need me
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to immediately start rooting against Wes. I wanted a little
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: bit more attention in the is it Wes or is
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it Grady? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I know it's Grady. Sure,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: so give me some tention. Yeah, make me wonder maybe
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: she should be with Wes. Yeah yeah, And there was
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: none of that, you know, I just thought it was funny.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: The casting of Wes is like, I get the whole movie,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: but I would think, like somebody who was hired to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: paint this like Royal Portrait is the older Yeah, like
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a more established like somebody who does all those Yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, agree, but that's hard to then create
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a Yeah, I love shrining unless she's falling for some
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: dude that's like thirty years her senior, you know, right, Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. I have a question, Sure,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: who really drives from LA to Chicago? Does a long drive?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: So the Internet tells me you'd be like four to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: five days. To me, I feel it's like that's like
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a ten day trip. I couldn't do it. Could you
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: do it? You do road trips with your family like this,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: But we've driven, We've taken a number of road trips,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: but we've taken a couple that were like two thousand
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: miles of driving. But that's over a ten to fourteen
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: day period where there's multiple stops and multiple things to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: do along the way. Would I just if my destination
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: were Chicago, I would get on an airplane, right. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that's what like, like frustrates me. It's like, oh, let
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: me hold on to your passports because you're a child,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and I can't, you know, trust you with your passport.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So that is what I didn't like is that they
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: do make Amelia very childlike in this movie. And I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: think that a royal would have a lot of education
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in the ways the world is in other places. Yeah,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, if Will and Kate are going to go
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: on a tour of America, they're going to be very
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: well educated of what life is like. They're not going
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to make them look like the bumbling bumpkins from another
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: country who are like this is Soliday. Yeah, exactly, Like
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you're telling me they don't have breakfast all day like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in Europe. I'm sure they do. I mean, there's one
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: thing to enjoy and be charmed by a place and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: another thing to be completely shocked. You've never heard of
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: us more? Yeah? Have you ever? Are you not a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: reader of books or a watcher of television? Yeah, it
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: just seems like she would have more knowledge than this.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I agree, don't make her such a dummy. Yeah, exactly,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something maybe controversial. Oh, I can't wait.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I thought Brady was kind of a dud. Oh no,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's super handsome, but he wasn't like super dynamic. Interesting.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go camping boring. You know that's so funny.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I knew your opinion of this movie before I watched it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I as I said in my first impression, this is
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Hallmark movie we've been missing. And what I mean
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: by that is, I think this year we have gotten
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a leveled up Hallmark experience. We've gotten a number of
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: movies that are better than I've expected. Yes, I agree,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and I've been very happy with that. This movie feels
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: like standard Hallmark. It was neither great, but not terrible,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and I enjoyed watching it. I didn't. I have watched
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: many Hallmark movies that I found were painful to watch.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I couldn't wait for them to be over. I didn't
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: feel like that with this movie. I agree. I mean,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I think I'm trying to make it out as it
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: being one of those painful movies. It wasn't. I wasn't
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: swooning for their romance. I wasn't creating a T shirt
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: design based on some hashtag I've made up for these two.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: But I do think it's standard Hallmark decent, fair, not
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Hallmark two point zero. Got it. That's what I thought
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: about this for. Did you see that? Yeah? I found
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: myself lacking in the funny takes. Oh, interesting, you have
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a lot. I just have some notes, and I have
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a few notes from the Facebook group too. Okay, I'm
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: just going to tell you what I did, and then
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I want to hear your notes. I went to Twitter
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and I have some tweet insight, but I want to
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: hear your notes first. So it's not that I have
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: nothing to say here, Okay, I just took a little
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: bit of a departure. Okay, Well, first step, I'm gonna
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: share a note from Michelle from the Facebook group, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: she said, how did she have all the right clothes
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: packed for this road trip? Right? So this is funny
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: that you say that I read that tweet before I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: watched the movie, and then here she is in the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: perfect horseback writing outfit. You're telling me the princess pack jeans. Yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: she had a duffel bag when she was trying to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: steal that suv or whatever. You know. Yeah, I mean
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that would have been enough room for pajamas and like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: some hair products, Like I not enough clothes to give away? No, no, no,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like she had a jacket on that night that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they were sent by the fire. Oh see, this isn't
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: gonna resonate with you, but she wears that a couple
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of times. She wears like an olive green jacket with them,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and when she goes back to Grady at the end,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: she's wearing like a white T shirt, olive green jacket, jeans.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: That's very much uh dutchess cake casual. Oh goodness. Another
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: note from the group. This is from Rena. She asks
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: how did she think she was gonna get all the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: way to Chicago with no money? Yeah, even like any gas.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: She's gonna steal that suv and have like no money
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: for gas. Yeah. This again goes back to her not
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: kind of being a bumbling idiot, like did she have
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a phone that you She does have a phone, because
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: she ignores her mother's phone. Oh that's right, Okay, so
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: she's just gonna use that for GPS. She's just gonna
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: apple pay her way to the maybe she's gonna use
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Apple pay and the little Nevada diner they're gonna be
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: like no, yeah, cash only. There was a scene where
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the queen is outside and she invites a mil yes,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and somebody's holding an umbrella over the queen and the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: little table for tea because it's raining, but there's like
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a overhead, like an overhang that they could be sitting under. Yes,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: why but then Amelia sits down and there's no umbrella. Yeah,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Amelia exactly. I'm like, so I was trying to think.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, is that guy holding an umbrella big
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: enough to like cover the is it a Tommy Bahama
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: like beach umbrellas? And it's not because it pulls back
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and you can see the umbrella is only over the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: cor Yeah. Why would she choose to have tea in
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the rain? And she even says like thanks for coming
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: out in the rain. Why didn't they shoot that scene
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: underneath the thing? I don't know, it didn't make any sense.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Is it supposed to drive home? How regal? She is
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like she has her own umbrella holder. I don't know.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So stupid stupid? Yeah? Hold, oh okay, So when they're
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: in that Nevada diner. Yeah, the server was like talking,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and Amelia thought it was so funny that she would
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: say y'all and fixens. But that's Nevada. People won't talk
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: like that Nevada. That's a good point. That's like a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: southern state thing, like a Georgia Nashville. Yeah. Grady's like, yeah,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: what did she say all the extras or all the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what was it? Add ons? Add ons? Yeah?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, we don't call them add ons. We
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: call them fixens. And I was like, no, but we don't.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But we don't call them fixens. I've never used that
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: word here. Maybe like if we were in was just barbecue, Like,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: oh never condiments? Right, get we call everything catch up.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And then lastly, you know, Grady is hired basically as
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: her bodyguard, right, and then when they get to Chicago,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: he's like, peace, like she's on her own. Apparently, yes,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I agree, hands are off to Wes and apparently West
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: is in charge now dumb Yeah, okay, I'd like to
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: start with some tweets. The first is a brand Daughtry
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: tweet in which he has Hallmark has shared a teaser
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: of this movie, and one of the scenes in the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: teaser is shirtless Wes, excuse me shirtless Grady and Brant
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Daughtry says, I worked really hard to get ready for
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: this shirtless scene, and that means you're required to watch
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the movie this Saturday. I don't make the rules. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: thought that was funny. I don't. That's a completely unremarkable
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: scene to me. I don't even remember him without a shirt.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: He's brushing his teeth and she walks and goes, oh,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and then the next scene she's like, nice shirt, he
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: goes looks even better on and any other channel other
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: than Hallmark would have taken that joke to the next level.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Hunks of Hallmark tweeted who needs Wes when Grady's around?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And Tulsa Baby responded well, Brandt Daughtry's kissing scene didn't disappoint.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: He always looks like he's really into it, waiting for
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the sequels, seeing the rest of us via Tulsa then
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: off to being king. Oh, that's funny, that would be
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: interesting Tulsa. Come on, that's funny. He wouldn't be accepted
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: because he was an American and his fixens. Here's a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: tweet that I don't agree with. This is from Fly
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Easy and Free only fifteen minutes left, and I think
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a royal runaway romance just I just had a royal
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: runaway romance. I think a royal runaway romance just secured
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: itself in my top spot of Hallmark Channel's twenty twenty
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: two movies. No, no, have you watched any of the others? Yeah? Again,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was bad, but it doesn't spot,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: not even top three. I am so sorry to hear
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: one final tweet Hallmark blissed tweets and he knows how
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to ride a horse, Emelia, marry this man now, to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: which Brant Daughtry himself replies, My horse is apparently super famous.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: He's in the new Jurassic Park movie. I tried to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: get his autograph, but I made it weird. I don't
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: think he's very funny. Are some serious dad jokes? Dude? No,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: thank you. I love a dead joke. He's not doing
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: it for me. Those tweets really just put it over
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the top for me too, Dad City. Sorry, I am
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: very afraid for this next part. Okay, time to rate
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: this movie. Are we doing it? I love it when
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: we do it together? Now? Three dude, one two stars?
