  Speaker 1: not going to hurt you. My first impresson and is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: merely thank goodness for close captioning.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I are you gonna fish? I thought that's it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks, thank thank goodness for close captioning. It's not the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: letter I, it's aye. I like how they speak. Oh
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this is not really like a super first impression. But man,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: this movie made me cry my eyes out.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I feel very protective of it. Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I kind of wish I had watched it before you,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: why because you had high expectations, because I was like,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I was some I I feel like
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I would have warned you. I don't know. I mean
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the Facebook group did say most of them didn't really
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. I'm not saying warning you about not liking it,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: like a content warning, like oh content warning, yes, yes, yes,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Well we'll talk about that in second. All right, let's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: talk about what we liked about a Scottish love skiing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Are you guessing your list is short? It isn't, it isn't.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Let's just get in it, okay, Well, first of all,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I love Scotland and.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Have you been there?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I have, and it is as beautiful as this movie
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: makes it look. I think Heather Hawthorne Doyle did a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: nice job making the country a character in this movie. Yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: both with the filming of it, the pacing of it,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I actually think lends itself to the setting. I did
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: find this movie to have kind of like a meandering
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: pace to it. I don't want to call it slow,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: although it was on the slower side, but I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: with the landscape shots, with filming on location, with the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: musical score that was used, all really built a real
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: sense of place for me.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, and I loved it. You love that part of it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't hate this movie.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, we are recording three Girls Got Homework episodes today.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: This will be not my favorite of the three, Okay,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Gorgeous scenery made me want to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: go there, and I thought the music throughout this entire
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: movie was excellent. When they had that guy playing the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: guitar in the bar, oh my god, that whole scene
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: was fireworks to me too. Those two dancing that that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was incredibly I hate to use the word swoon worthy,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but really accurate.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, are they gonna kiss right now, Like
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was like on the edge waiting for it. Yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it was I thought quite hot. I enjoyed that scene
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: very much as well. It is on my list. To
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: be quite honest, I was not looking forward to this
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: movie because the poster, the movie poster was a little
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: hooky looking to me in retrospect, had zero to do
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with like the movie and the title of this movie scheme.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: The word scheme evokes jinks for me, and I was like,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: what are we going to get into here? Like, I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: just thought it was gonna be like, not great. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: thought it was a lovely, touching, mature movie.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I like a little heavy content, and I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thought this was heavier content for Hallmark, which then brings
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: me to my next stop. Why is this on the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: regular Hallmark channel? This should have been on Movies and Misery.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: There's a scene towards the end of the movie where
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Lily and Logan are separate, but the scenes are edited together,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: so he's like spinning his ring on his hand and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: ultimately takes the ring off, and she's looking at her
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: photos and finding inspiration in the brooch that she purchased
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and they're both like coming to a realization, although I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: feel like it's very telling the different realizations they come to,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like him taking off his ring signifies
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: like he's ready to move forward, and her coming up
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: with the design for their business is like I'm finding
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: my creative inspiration again.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They're not necessarily coming towards the same thing. Yeah, but
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I did love the editing of that scene. Okay, was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: nice visually interesting. I will admit that I for a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: good portion of this movie, I was waiting for the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: other shoe to drop.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: This is a callback to what you said earlier, you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: were gonna give me a heads up when, of course
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I figured Kate was gonna have cancer obviously, like I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: understood she was sick. This is I was just waiting, waiting,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: waiting the entire movie, when are they gonna tell about it?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So I needed that she was eventually going to reveal
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that she had cancer, and that part was like hard
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for me personally just getting to it, like, let's finally
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: get to it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Part of me believed that Kate.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Would want this like one last trip with her daughter
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: without having this like diagnosis hanging over them. But then
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the other part of me is like, Lily is an
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: adult and don't keep secrets about your health.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, are we talking wishes? No, this is I gotta
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: talk about that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: This is just I mean, I think, Okay, go ahead.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Look is it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Kate's right to keep her medical information personal and to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: share it with whom she chooses to share it with. Yes,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: her husband knew, her best friend knew, Logan found out
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: by overhearing. Everybody knows except Lily. And if I were Lily,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I would lose my mind knowing that everybody knows.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Everyone's like tiptoeing around this with me.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I have limited time with you, and I understand that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you want that to be meaningful without this like terminal diagnosis.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Hanging over us.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But also maybe I need that information to make this
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not just one of our annual trips. Yeah, I need
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to be like imprinting these memories.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So I felt torn there. We're not talking about a teenager, as.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You said, Yeah, she's an adult, and given that everybody
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: else had the information, it didn't feel fair to me
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that Lily didn't have it. I agree with you. I'm
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: still in my lights ketch. Okay, I keep going. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: loved how giddy and girl like both Kate and Mary
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: were with each other. I just thought they were so
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: fun together. And there's a scene where they're sitting in
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: their living room and they're like in the chairs and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they're talking about Logan and Lily going out, and they
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: say something about being naughty, and I was like what
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: now it was kind of a surprise lying in there
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for me, I thought for Hallmark, but.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: It just made me laugh.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I love them together, Like, I was just so sweet
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: these old best friends. Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I hope someday like that would mean Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I know Erica Durrance, Is that how you say air lesson? Sure, Durrance.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I think you're fine, top notch for me. I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: she is one of Hallmark's great actresses. Get her out
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of these movies that are so depressing. Yeah, I give
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: her something. Let's throw horror bone, let's do something else,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: let her run, Yeah, don't you think?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And now, in addition, I thought she was incredibly great
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: with Logan's son, Yeah, with his brothers, Like it was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: just there were great scenes like where they're at the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: rugby field or at the dinner table, like I just
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: thought it just was so warm it was nice that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: like he didn't have like, there was no like.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: It was just all good fun.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like, you know, mean spirited anyway, poking at
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: each other, everybody not liking one another.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I really like those big dinner table scenes as well.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: So good, so so good. Again. I thought that she
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: had fantastic chemistry with Logan, the character Logan.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: You don't think so, I'll talk about it, okay. And finally,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the secondary story of Lily trying to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: help the Campbells out with like rebranding or whatever for
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: their new whiskey. I love me a work montage type. Yeah,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: so I liked it, and I like what she came
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: up with at the end. I think that worked too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You ready to talk wishes?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's where you're gonna get mad at me.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think this movie needed to end with a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: relationship at all.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And here's why. Okay.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I did find that Lily and Logan had chemistry that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: dancing top notch. However, let's put this in perspective. Lily
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: is moving on for her divorce, her mom has a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: tuminal illness. Liam he lost his wife. Logan, Yes, Logan
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: lost his wife, and at one point he expresses his
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: concern that Finn's going to get close to someone who's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: not going to stick around. I think these two were
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in each other's lives, they're mothers, are best friends. She
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: clearly knew him from before. Her next phase is spending
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: six months in Spain reconnecting to her creative side. I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: didn't want her to have this anchor waiting in Scotland
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: where she can't fully focus on the next thing, Like
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this was supposed to be about her finding her creative
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: side and not now. I've got to invest time into
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: this relationship to making it work long distance while I'm
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: trying to find myself.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Those two things didn't.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Work for me, and while my mother is dying, and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: while my mother is dying, Yeah, I hear you.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: That's a lot for me.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And I think she had a great relationship with Finn.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I think she can continue having that great relationship with
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Finn as like his aunt Lily or whatever. I don't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: think that goes away. I just there was so much
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: going on for both of these people that as much
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: as I loved some of their sweet romantic moments, I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: not sure I needed them to end up in a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: place where they're moving forward together. That's totally fair.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And I co sign that thought, well, yeah, I'm not
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: mad about it. I'm mad about it at all. Here's
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: one of my wishes.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: The accents were so thick in this movie.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Thank god for subtitles.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to turn them on immediately because I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: was like, he's talking way too fast. I cannot understand
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that word he's saying. And subtitles you do pick up
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: on all the little things that you would have missed,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm very grateful for that. My next wish goes
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: back to what you said about if you were Lily
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and had found out that your parent was sick and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: everybody else knew about it except for you, that you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: would have lost your mind, right. I do think when
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: she finds out, her reaction isly normal. She explodes on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Logan because he he knows, but like it wasn't like
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he was keeping it from her. He thought she knew, right,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: slight misunderstanding. I'm glad that that was short lived. That,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Like they had talked about then the next day and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: she just was like, you know, my emotions needed a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: place to go.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there you are.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you, Like, as an adult, finding
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: all that out would be very tough, So I think
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: her reaction was certainly appropriate. And my parents are like
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the King and Queen of keeping information from us unless
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: like the house is burning to the ground. Yeah, like
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: we don't get all of the little fires right. So
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely speaking from personal experience.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I hear you.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Finally, the hair department did no favors to Miss Erica.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: She's a studyings studying woman. I don't know what was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: going on with that hair.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It was not good.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Her best hair look is when they arrive in Scotland.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: She's got some cute like airplane hair. Yeah, but it's
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: like real cute waves. It's the best her hair looks
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in the whole movie. I went onto her Instagram yesterday
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, was she wearing a wig?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Did she cut her hair off? Like, let me show you.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: She has shorter her hair in this photo, and look
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: how cute and cute her hair is. Yeah, it's so cute.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what was going on with the hair. Yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: no idea. I just hated it so much. Please don't
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: send her emails to me?
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Are you ready?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Ever? Did to see that. I have just one thing
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to say. Okay, Kate collapses. The paramedics come. This all
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: happens off camera and apparently we Mari say, yeah, she
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: discussed her diagnosis and they just like got her settled
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and comfortable.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I assumed that meant they took her to the hospital. No,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: they just like tucked her into bed.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I think if the paramedics come, you go to the hospital. Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And I don't think the paramedics like their role is
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to diagnose, like to determine that you don't need to go.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Their role is transport and keep you safe in transport
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and provide whatever care is needed to get you to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the next place where then a doctor can determine, you know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: is this just the natural order of things? Can you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: go home and rest? Or is there something else we
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: need to be doing?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Right? I just thought it was very.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Quaint that they had just tucked her up in bed
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and she wakes up the next morning just fine. Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They never really explain why she collapsed, right, yes, no,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: just as part of her illness.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: There's a scene where Lily and Logan are drinking whiskey
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: at home. It's like in his mom's vintage glassware. She
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: was taking photos. She was like trying to get inspired
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: for their thing, and they were drinking the whiskey then.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: But then in a later scene they go to the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: distillery and she makes a comment about like not really
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: being a whiskey drinker. I was like, we just saw
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you drinking it at the house. It's such like a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: throwaway scene. It was like right before like she found
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: out like her mom had collapsed.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: My other did you see that? Is like this dinner
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: table is full of food, like to feed.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: An army, so much.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Food, and then like nobody's really like touching it, like
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: when they're like talking, just nobody's actually eating it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have one word. Did you see that? This
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: is just a side note.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: We have a member in our Facebook group name Rebecca.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: She has a website called Rebecca's Readings and Watching. I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: often look at it. She's got a lot of hot
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: takes on Hallmark movies, and in this particular movie, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: thought this was interesting to share because I didn't put
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: these puzzle pieces together. But we learned that Lily's mom, Kate,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: has liver cancer, and Rebecca writes like liver cancer of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: all things. She says, this is a little surprising sense
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: both Lily and the Campbell's have been in the alcohol
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: business forever. And she goes, She's not accusing Hallmark of
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: trying to make some kind of sick joke or send
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: some kind of mess on the dangers of alcohol. But
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it is kind of interesting that Kate has liver cancer
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and there's a distillery.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Lily worked for like a beer company. What do
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you think about that?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I think that's an odd coincidence at the very least.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but one that made me go hmmm hmmm.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And that's all I've got, all right, And let me
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: ask you what was the emotional panicle of the movie
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: for you? Was it when Mariy reveals to Lily that
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: her mother is sick.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: That I was crying a lot at the end? Oh
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: does she die?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think no, I can't even remember. I just thought
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it was so loving and sweet. I don't know, I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: just it is a real lovely, sweet movie. I really
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: loved the ladies and their friendship. Yeah, like there's that part.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: It just I And it's nice that the boys are
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: kind of like in trouble with their business, but nobody's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: going down with the ship. There's some lighthearted ribbing, but
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: there's not like you ruin those Yeah, yeah.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, what did you rate this movie four and a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: half stars? Two and a half?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Just here's the thing. I just think. So I'm learning
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: this as we move through Hallmark movies. I think particular
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: movies mean more to people, certain people than others. Maybe
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: this is just a space in the life that I'm
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: living right now that I thought this just hit for me.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, anyway, I liked it to heck with all
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you haters, this is gonna be one of my favors
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: of the year.
• 20:43
