3:30
Speaker 2: of the series Lioness on Paramount, plus.

4:21
Speaker 1: Pearl and Paradise was filmed on location in Fiji. Hey,
4:25
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna come
4:26
Speaker 1: right back with our first impressions of Pearl in Paradise. Hey, Wendy,
4:38
Speaker 1: what is your first impression of the fan favorite movie
4:41
Speaker 1: Pearl in Paradise. Well?
4:43
Speaker 2: I kind of mentioned this in are about section, but
4:46
Speaker 2: considering the chemistry between these two leads, I could have
4:49
Speaker 2: sworn that they filmed this between takes of Mystery.
4:54
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I have some thoughts about that as
4:57
Speaker 1: well in my likes. But my first impression is I
5:00
Speaker 1: think Pearl and Paradise might be the movie that came
5:02
Speaker 1: first and set the bar in the hidden treasure hunt
5:05
Speaker 1: genre of movie.
5:06
Speaker 2: M That's really interesting you mentioned that, because that's my
5:10
Speaker 2: first like. I like that there was a treasure hunt
5:16
Speaker 2: aspect in this movie, and it reminded me a lot.
5:19
Speaker 1: Of The Christmas Quest, which is also another Christopher Palaja movie.
5:23
Speaker 2: From last year. I like when Hallmark does like these
5:27
Speaker 2: adventure type movies, and I thought they did this one well.
5:30
Speaker 2: It had good leads, it had a beautiful location, and
5:36
Speaker 2: I liked the interesting.
5:38
Speaker 1: Lore that it offered. That's really interesting that you say that,
5:42
Speaker 1: because I love The Christmas Quest. This movie reminded me
5:49
Speaker 1: of movies like Chasing Waterfalls and that other movie where
5:52
Speaker 1: they find the indigenous artifact where there's always some sort
5:57
Speaker 1: of drama around the finding of the artifact itself. I
6:02
Speaker 1: think this is significantly better than those movies. I think
6:06
Speaker 1: those movies saw the success of this movie and they're like,
6:09
Speaker 1: we're going to do everything we can to recreate it,
6:11
Speaker 1: and I think, by and large have failed to recreate it.
6:16
Speaker 1: And I think the reason why in large, well Yeah,
6:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. I think the reason why they
6:24
Speaker 1: haven't been as successful is. Look, it's really clear to
6:26
Speaker 1: me why Jill and Chris went on to film seven
6:29
Speaker 1: Mystery one on one movies together because their chemistry is
6:32
Speaker 1: fire mm hmm, I agree to you. I could totally
6:35
Speaker 1: see Hallmark or the powers that be or whomever, whether
6:40
Speaker 1: it's the director or the writer, being like, yo, we
6:43
Speaker 1: got to get these two working together because this is
6:46
Speaker 1: their first project together and they have such natural chemistry.
6:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to know how quickly Mystery one
6:53
Speaker 2: on one came after this movie, not even essentially like
6:58
Speaker 2: of like when it came out, but like, I.
7:00
Speaker 1: Think that next movie was twenty nineteen, so a pretty
7:04
Speaker 1: who knows when they were made as opposed to when
7:07
Speaker 1: they were released, right, but there certainly was a fairly
7:11
Speaker 1: I mean, they put out seven Mystery one oh one
7:14
Speaker 1: movies over a relatively short It was just looking at
7:17
Speaker 1: the dates of those movies yesterday, I think it's about
7:19
Speaker 1: three years where all seven movies come out. Oh wow, wow.
7:24
Speaker 2: Well I did think Jill Wagner and Chris were great together.
7:29
Speaker 2: They have like an ease about them. Yeah, I had
7:33
Speaker 2: honestly assumed that they had already worked on Mystery one
7:37
Speaker 2: on one and had like built that natural rapport because
7:40
Speaker 2: that that series is so lensed to like a lot
7:43
Speaker 2: of conversation and whatever. I don't know, his reactions to
7:47
Speaker 2: her felt so genuine, Like he's very natural, Like he
7:51
Speaker 2: just makes it look effortless.
7:54
Speaker 1: He's super likable.
7:55
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, if you didn't know, I'm kind of
7:57
Speaker 2: a fan, so I mean, yeah, he's he's he's just
8:01
Speaker 2: one of the best.
8:04
Speaker 1: We just talked about her pen pal where Paris really
8:09
Speaker 1: sold the movie for us. For me, Fiji is its
8:12
Speaker 1: own character. It's like scenery porn. I really loved the
8:15
Speaker 1: setting and I like that we get a mix of both.
8:19
Speaker 1: It's not just like all sweaty jungle hunting. They have
8:23
Speaker 1: some like fun resortie. There's a dance scene and there's
8:27
Speaker 1: a fruity drink at a bar scene.
8:28
Speaker 2: You know, I can we talk about the feudy fruity
8:31
Speaker 2: drink at the bar scene. It's one of my favorite
8:34
Speaker 2: exchanges between the two of them and when they first meet,
8:38
Speaker 2: when they first meet after the airport, like they had
8:41
Speaker 2: like had that whole exchange at the airport and then
8:44
Speaker 2: they're at the hotel or whatever, and Alex is drinking
8:47
Speaker 2: a cocktail and what's his character's name, Colin. Colin's like, oh,
8:55
Speaker 2: I only drink tea and the line is I drink tea,
8:58
Speaker 2: to which she responds in this.
8:59
Speaker 1: Client and he says, in any climate. And I just
9:02
Speaker 1: thought it was so funny.
9:04
Speaker 2: One because I'm a tea drinker myself, so like I did,
9:07
Speaker 2: under got tea when it's one hundred degrees out, I
9:09
Speaker 2: don't care. But like, I just thought it was so funny.
9:13
Speaker 2: And I did really enjoy that dance scene as well.
9:16
Speaker 2: I I yeah, I just liked them together. They just
9:20
Speaker 2: were so good together.
9:24
Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree. I just you said they're natural.
9:28
Speaker 1: They just I just want to watch them. I'm like, yeah,
9:30
Speaker 1: just just let them, let them run, because they just
9:34
Speaker 1: they sell me on their chemistry. Kind of in that
9:37
Speaker 1: same vein, Like you said, I liked the Treasure Hunt element.
9:40
Speaker 1: I thought it was well done on a Hallmark level.
9:43
Speaker 1: And that's not a knock. I mean, you know we're
9:45
Speaker 1: working with here. We're not going to get crazy special
9:50
Speaker 1: effects and stunts through this forest. But I I thought
9:53
Speaker 1: the reveal of the treasure wasn't as hokey as it
9:57
Speaker 1: could have been. This was a summer nights movie, and
10:01
Speaker 1: I think it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
10:04
Speaker 1: It makes you want to head off on a tropical vacation.
10:06
Speaker 1: It makes you want a little summer romance. There's a
10:08
Speaker 1: good balance of adventure and resort luxury. I think this
10:11
Speaker 1: movie does exactly what it's supposed to do. You've got
10:14
Speaker 1: great romantic leads, you've got beautiful, beautiful scenery, You've got
10:18
Speaker 1: just a little summer escape romance. I think it's well
10:22
Speaker 1: done in there.
10:24
Speaker 2: That is so funny. I've never really thought about that
10:27
Speaker 2: with their summer lineup, of the kinds of movies that
10:32
Speaker 2: they put out in the summer. And yes, you're right,
10:35
Speaker 2: that's exactly the kind of movie I want if I'm
10:37
Speaker 2: at home, Yeah, watching a summer movie. Yeah, I want
10:41
Speaker 2: to escape to a tropical island with beautiful leads and
10:46
Speaker 2: a fun adventure.
10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, nailed it. Well, you know, I think the problem
10:50
Speaker 1: sometimes is we have homemark themes their months or their series,
10:55
Speaker 1: and sometimes those themes are purely for clumbing a group
10:59
Speaker 1: of movies together. Right, there's no actual themes of the movies.
11:02
Speaker 1: They're like, well we got these four movies were dropping
11:04
Speaker 1: them in August. Let's call it some summer or something.
11:05
Speaker 1: Let's call our four September movies Autumn Harvest or Fallen
11:09
Speaker 1: to Love, even if there's not a single dead leaf, right,
11:14
Speaker 1: I kind of I don't necessarily want every single movie
11:17
Speaker 1: to fall into a theme, but I like it when
11:21
Speaker 1: the theme works. I agree. I agree.
11:23
Speaker 2: Also, something I liked about this I enjoy the opposites
11:28
Speaker 2: attract Trope.
11:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they do it a whole lot Hallmark.
11:34
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they do, and I just can't remember
11:36
Speaker 2: right now, Like it wasn't it wasn't enemies to lumbers here,
11:42
Speaker 2: but I appreciated like how regimented Colin was, like keeping
11:47
Speaker 2: his life running smoothly, Like I found that highly relatable.
11:50
Speaker 2: But then in contrast, I enjoyed that Alex was like
11:54
Speaker 2: more adventurous, and I found that kind of admirable. So
11:59
Speaker 2: I just thought, like, these two opposites completely work together.
12:03
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think I think it's easy
12:06
Speaker 1: to mix up enemies to lovers and opposites attract. Like
12:10
Speaker 1: there was some conflict early on, simply because their ways
12:13
Speaker 1: of doing things were so different, but it wasn't mean spirited. Yeah,
12:18
Speaker 1: it didn't like lead into like, uh, I hate this person.
12:21
Speaker 1: Now I have to spend all this time with this person, yes,
12:24
Speaker 1: growing pains in their relationship, figuring out how to work together. Yeah,
12:28
Speaker 1: you know, I can't help.
12:29
Speaker 2: But think about how you mentioned that movie chasing Waterfalls
12:34
Speaker 2: up at the top, and.
12:37
Speaker 1: I do have.
12:38
Speaker 2: To admit when I saw that she was like, oh,
12:40
Speaker 2: I'm going to be out and taking photos of this
12:43
Speaker 2: like special thing. I thought, oh god, this is what
12:46
Speaker 2: we have, Like she's going to take a picture of
12:48
Speaker 2: something that she wasn't supposed to and et cetera, et cetera.
12:52
Speaker 1: I'm glad that it. I mean it did kind of
12:54
Speaker 1: like go that way a little bit, but I'm like,
13:01
Speaker 1: oh no, it accidentally got sent. Yeah, I'm weird GPS location,
13:05
Speaker 1: and now everybody knows, and I have ruined the secret.
13:08
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, That's why I'm glad
13:12
Speaker 2: it didn't go that way.
13:13
Speaker 1: It kind of surprised me a little bit. Yeah, I
13:17
Speaker 1: think that's what these other movies really wanted to be.
13:21
Speaker 1: I think the fact that they found the treasure agreed
13:25
Speaker 1: to keep it a secret so that everybody could experience
13:28
Speaker 1: the magic of finding it. I actually kind of liked that,
13:33
Speaker 1: like the story about being like the journey is more
13:36
Speaker 1: important than the destination.
13:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked that part too. However, when they find
13:40
Speaker 2: the pearl and the inscription, I was like, lon doesn't
13:44
Speaker 2: make any sense to me. Please dumb it down, like
13:47
Speaker 2: I need you to explain it to me.
13:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that. I think it was a little
13:52
Speaker 1: bit like, you know, whatever the line was, he who
13:55
Speaker 1: finds it will never be worthy. I was like, wait,
13:57
Speaker 1: I don't understand, but the idea being I think I
14:00
Speaker 1: think it's your own triumph, not one you need to
14:04
Speaker 1: share with the world, Like let this continue to be
14:06
Speaker 1: this secret, special thing and not turn it into like
14:11
Speaker 1: put it in a museum or make it a treasure
14:13
Speaker 1: hunter thing that people are going to ruin the experience.
14:16
Speaker 1: I just I liked the sentiment. My brain can't help
14:20
Speaker 1: but go to like someone's gonna ruin it. Someone's gonna
14:22
Speaker 1: come along and not be as good of spirit and
14:26
Speaker 1: ruin the experience for sure, for people in the future,
14:28
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure?
14:30
Speaker 2: For sure.
14:31
Speaker 1: Uh are you ready for wishes? I am? I really
14:34
Speaker 1: only have one.
14:35
Speaker 2: Okay, mine is explain to me how.
14:40
Speaker 1: Alex didn't understand that Colin did not know where the
14:44
Speaker 1: pearl was because no one knows. I know, he says,
14:50
Speaker 1: like he has secret information. But they spent days listening
14:54
Speaker 1: to all of these people tell them that they don't
14:56
Speaker 1: know where it is, all of these people who have
15:00
Speaker 1: more connection to the pearl. It just seemed like when
15:02
Speaker 1: he finally revealed to her, I don't know where it is,
15:04
Speaker 1: I thought, duh, of course you don't know where It
15:08
Speaker 1: just didn't make sense to me that he was telling
15:09
Speaker 1: her like, I know where it is, but then they
15:12
Speaker 1: were going to all of these people and asking them
15:14
Speaker 1: to help them find it. It felt like there was
15:17
Speaker 1: a disconnect there, got it? Yeah, that doesn't really make
15:20
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, does it? Like why are they
15:23
Speaker 1: going to all of these people who have connections to
15:27
Speaker 1: the story and they were like do you know where
15:29
Speaker 1: it is? Did you? If they don't know where it is,
15:31
Speaker 1: then Colin doesn't know where it is.
15:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, are you wondering why you are asking that?
15:38
Speaker 2: Like why didn't she like get their center about like, well,
15:41
Speaker 2: if Colin, if all these other people don't know, why
15:43
Speaker 2: would Colin know?
15:44
Speaker 1: How could Colin? And he's like poring over this notebook
15:47
Speaker 1: that was given to him with all of this information.
15:50
Speaker 1: It just it. The two pieces of information were adding
15:53
Speaker 1: up in my brain. Got it, got it? Got it?
15:56
Speaker 2: That's your only wish? Yeah, okay, I have a few.
15:59
Speaker 2: I have a few, but they're they're nothing. I mean, okay,
16:01
Speaker 2: hear me out. My biggest question was is it far
16:08
Speaker 2: fetched that a fictional writer wrote a book about a
16:13
Speaker 2: location he's never been to?
16:14
Speaker 1: Oh?
16:15
Speaker 2: That's because the question, because I mean, they're storytellers, right,
16:19
Speaker 2: Like you have great imaginations, like of course, like you
16:22
Speaker 2: can write about a magic pearl or whatever whatever it is,
16:27
Speaker 2: like it you don't have to have actually gone to
16:31
Speaker 2: the location to and find it, right.
16:34
Speaker 1: Right, you know? I mean I don't. I don't. I
16:36
Speaker 1: don't think it's crazy that No, I don't think it's
16:39
Speaker 1: crazy that he's written about a tropical location that he's
16:41
Speaker 1: never been to, right, so, especially given that he had
16:43
Speaker 1: done all the research, right, and it just was so
16:45
Speaker 1: weird to me, Like her character was like, what do
16:47
Speaker 1: you mean you've never been here? Like she just gave
16:50
Speaker 1: him a hard time about it. I don't know, I
16:52
Speaker 1: just I think she just can't apply head around the
16:54
Speaker 1: idea that like you're writing these stories and you've never
16:57
Speaker 1: had any desire to live at yourself. And he's like,
17:00
Speaker 1: I'm good.
17:01
Speaker 2: I'm this is why I find him highly relatable, these caricature,
17:05
Speaker 2: I swear to god.
17:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
17:10
Speaker 2: The other thing that I thought this movie, like I
17:14
Speaker 2: said earlier, like there were some elements of surprise to me,
17:17
Speaker 2: but overall thought it was pretty predictable, a very typical
17:21
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen movie for Hallmark, Like it didn't contain anything
17:25
Speaker 2: that would ruffle anybody's feathers. And if I were to
17:30
Speaker 2: describe it, I would call it safe.
17:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't.
17:33
Speaker 2: I found it enjoyable, but pretty safe. Pretty safe. Two
17:40
Speaker 2: more things. The big scene where they fall into the river,
17:43
Speaker 2: It seems very dangerous to me, and then they like
17:46
Speaker 2: get out and they're hardly affected.
17:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it seemed like we should be a little
17:51
Speaker 1: more worried, like they were being swept away for a
17:53
Speaker 1: home and there. Yes, I mean this scene I thought
17:56
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I was like, oh my god.
17:57
Speaker 2: And then like they just climb out of the water
17:59
Speaker 2: and they're like moving on with their day.
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, why do you think they were gonna
18:04
Speaker 1: open up that dry bag and the notebook was gonna
18:06
Speaker 1: have been ruined. Oh I didn't, but that would have
18:10
Speaker 1: been a good twist. He was here, twisted with this
18:13
Speaker 1: priceless artifact and he's just opening it up on the
18:15
Speaker 1: banks of a river. Okay, here's my last thing. Full disclosure.
18:22
Speaker 1: I did watch this movie with a tiny hesitation about
18:26
Speaker 1: Joe Wagner.
18:27
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm hoping I can.
18:31
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I can put that aside for our summer plans. Yeah,
18:36
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to. Uh huh.
18:38
Speaker 2: I I she's a fine actress. Like, I enjoyed the movie,
18:45
Speaker 2: but I can't help but like have this like, yeah,
18:50
Speaker 2: I hear you.
18:51
Speaker 1: It's hard to let that stuff go. Yeah, and that's all.
18:54
Speaker 1: That's all my wishes. All right, let's talk. Did you
18:56
Speaker 1: see that? Okay? I have one true did you see that?
19:00
Speaker 1: And to just like comments, Okay, when I like to
19:03
Speaker 1: comment on her desktop of her computer and how her
19:07
Speaker 1: images are just strewn all over it, I can relate, girl,
19:11
Speaker 1: that is me. I just like dump stuff there, and
19:14
Speaker 1: then eventually I do that exact same thing, just select
19:17
Speaker 1: them all and drop them into their own little older
19:20
Speaker 1: And that's another day's problem. Also related to that, though
19:25
Speaker 1: her desk is covered in camera equipment, And I just
19:28
Speaker 1: don't believe that in this busy, open office she's gonna
19:31
Speaker 1: have all these expensive lenses and cameras just laying all
19:34
Speaker 1: over her desk. Even even as free spirited as she is,
19:39
Speaker 1: I think she would take care of her equipment. Mmmm,
19:43
Speaker 1: like it was covered, like there was just like lenses
19:45
Speaker 1: and cameras and all these was like, come on, you're
19:47
Speaker 1: gonna even I'm gonna put that stuff in a bag.
19:48
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna leave it all laying over my desk. Yeah.
19:52
Speaker 2: I wonder if that was to like characterize her ass
19:56
Speaker 2: free spirited one hundred.
19:58
Speaker 1: Percent, Yeah, one hundred percent. Finally, damn it, Finally, my
20:03
Speaker 1: true did to see that they take a selfie in
20:05
Speaker 1: front of the waterfall? Is this in your digite that
20:08
Speaker 1: because it's not in the selfie bo she's holding her
20:12
Speaker 1: camera with both arms. They're both extended. In the actual photo,
20:16
Speaker 1: they're just like standing next to her. One arm is
20:18
Speaker 1: down Like it's the same photo. I love it, can't
20:22
Speaker 1: you can't even really see the other arm that's reaching out.
20:25
Speaker 1: So I just thought, make it, make make it look
20:30
Speaker 1: like the actual picture. Yeah, that is always like a
20:35
Speaker 1: one that trips us up. Yeah, I can't. I know,
20:41
Speaker 1: it's so silly, but it's I mean, maybe in twenty eighteen,
20:48
Speaker 1: it is a little hard to take a selfie with
20:49
Speaker 1: a camera like that one hundred percent.
20:52
Speaker 2: And there was another movie we just talked about it too.
20:54
Speaker 2: Oh it was an unexpected Valentine. They took a picture
20:57
Speaker 2: with this big ass professional camera.
21:00
Speaker 1: Oh, and it would have been like up their noses. Yes, yes, yes,
21:04
Speaker 1: all right, tell me your digit.
21:05
Speaker 2: That's okay, I just have to And I say the
21:09
Speaker 2: following as someone who says a lot of shit incorrectly.
21:13
Speaker 2: All right, there is the scene where they're out on
21:17
Speaker 2: the hike and Alex's camera gets muddy and the girl's like,
21:21
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm so sorry, like whatever, right, and
21:24
Speaker 2: Alex says the line, actually, I don't think it's broke.
21:29
Speaker 2: The word should be broken. It just bothered me so much.
21:35
Speaker 2: I was like, I am not a grammar nerd by
21:38
Speaker 2: any means. You guys hear me talk on this podcast.
21:41
Speaker 2: I say a lot of stuff wrong, but I don't
21:43
Speaker 2: know why that stuck out to me so hardcore.
21:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, conjugate rub correctly, Joe Wagner.
21:49
Speaker 2: Okay, And then my other digite that is a reviewer
21:57
Speaker 2: on IMDb wrote in their review, it says, quote copycat
22:04
Speaker 2: ending was too obviously close to another great classic romantic comedy,
22:09
Speaker 2: but then never said what that romantic comedy was.
22:12
Speaker 1: Do you know? No, I have no idea. I have
22:15
