An American in Austen (Hallmark Channel - 2024)

[00:00:00] Hello lads! My name is Brann and I love Hallmark Jane Austen, Love you Harry movies.

[00:00:08] Hey lads, I'm Brian, I like Love you Harry Jane Austen movies.

[00:00:12] Hello lads, it's Dan, I despise the Jane Austen movies. And this is the Tech The Hallmark

[00:00:20] podcast.

[00:00:21] Tech The Hallmark is his podcast. It was good. I did have some candy hearts, the sweetheart version. I'll accept no others. And I did ask, we were watching a movie today and I asked Bran how much I'd have to pay him to grind up some of the sweetheart chalk and snort it like a rail of drugs.

[00:01:40] And he said, I hate that feeling.

[00:01:43] It drives me crazy, a little rest relaxation. Probably weather was real nice, I think it was a long time ago now at this point. I feel like the lows was lower than the highs. We were right around freezing there, but then we were in the 60s, so.

[00:03:00] That's great.

[00:03:01] Hey guys, as much fun as this is,

[00:03:03] while I know that all of you have your presidents ranked

[00:03:07] from favorite to least favorite. Cooper Cooper is lower than that. I think you we all know why you have one bad day. You have one bad day when you say what he said you can get canceled pretty quickly. Brian. Yeah, even then. Yeah, even then I'm not I think it was a dark dark. What is it? Fit deep fake. I think it was a big deep dark dark dark.

[00:04:23] Deep fake. Maybe. Call me maybe. They're gonna be the one that saves me.

[00:05:43] So her friends drink with her and they talk about yeah. After all. Persuasion, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Why seems right because I use it as a book guys as a guide To how to persuade people into buying a four-foot-two How's that helpful hasn't worked on me? Well, you get there soon as you understand the benefits. What is it? What is it? What is it? It is the ability to grill and broil at different temperatures on four different surfaces and

[00:07:03] Twice the speed that you would normally I didn't know there was a bro Austen. That's a man you want to marry. Absolutely. Uh, there's shocks, uh, to, as she begins to like,

[00:08:22] just be weird, they're just constantly like Americans are interesting, huh?

[00:09:24] wonky would happen and she doesn't want that to happen. She wants that she's got to stick to the book stick to the status quo you know what I mean? So she realizes

[00:09:28] that she has to make sure that Darcy ends up with the person we know in the

[00:09:32] book obviously Elizabeth and so she does that through all of this she realizes

[00:09:38] that she wants to be with Ethan songboy from the beginning. So she ends up

[00:09:43] everything does work out and we love that you? Deck the Hall. She didn't have to say it.

[00:11:04] We all knew.

[00:11:05] We all knew.

[00:11:06] She wanted Abe Lincoln at.

[00:11:07] It's clear as crystal. Eliza Bennett, I feel like she was like perfect in this role. She was really great. Her reactions and the way she played along was a lot of fun. Ton of fun, maybe even. A lot of inside jokes that I feel like I would have gotten if I had read the book. Yeah. But I could tell they were doing it and I appreciated it. Yeah. When you can tell, you tell other people are having fun.

[00:12:20] Yeah.

[00:12:21] I'm like, so I love that they did that.

[00:12:23] And so it did drag a bit for me at the end.

[00:12:25] It's like, let's go.

[00:12:26] Let's move this along.

[00:12:27] I'll wrap it up. exactly right. She always said that. She would always say that. Right. The Declaration of Love at the end of this movie I thought was super fun where she's saying it and he's kind of like walks up to it as she's saying I thought that was really sweet. And so overall I agree of especially of the Jane Austen movies this is definitely my favorite so far. And yeah

[00:13:40] I think it might be my favorite of the year so far movies a movie that is a pride and prejudice Adaptation by three dudes who've never seen it

[00:15:01] We just our opinions here unlike in the Hallmark world where it's like we can still tell you. No, it was right under there. But you can easily be taken away. I was in complete control. There. I can only imagine if... Surround by your glory! Don't say it if you don't want me to sing it! If there's another way to say it! If a story that I loved, if a story that I loved dearly and knew very, very well, had

[00:16:22] a movie made where someone gets dropped into that story and changes the Jane Austen ones head and shoulders above purely on the performance of Eliza Bennett and then adding the fact that it's funny, it's different, it feels refreshing, all of that works in its favor. So not my thing, but for the people that it is their thing, I can imagine they had a lot of fun with it. Can I ask you a quick follow up? You did mention head and shoulders. I'm curious about the knees and toes.

[00:17:41] Knees and toes?

[00:17:42] Yeah.

[00:17:43] Head and shoulders?

[00:17:44] Knees and toes?

[00:17:45] Knees and toes.

[00:17:46] Thought so.

[00:17:47] There's nowhere else to go with this. I can only imagine but to the melody of petrol season toes that I was having a Any Christ comes if you do that I'm pretty Revelation that's the starting Travis and Taylor's baby isn't due for another 10 months. Oh, yeah, it's a little early Yeah, that means they're gonna have it a month do the math. It's not our look. I'm not

[00:19:02] It's not for all the fields we're talking about what in this movie gave us those feels yeah

[00:19:06] Bill Nye the Brian

[00:20:01] sight because I am the problem it's me phenomenal then she says she really is

[00:20:04] the voice of the generation yes the

[00:20:07] actual line of dot the Taylor Swift

[00:20:09] lyric idea I was like this is forced but

[00:20:12] when she does that comes out of it yeah

[00:20:14] that's when it works I honestly haven't

[00:20:16] laughed that hard at a homework movie in

[00:20:18] a long time it was a very good funny

[00:20:20] line a better delivery like she is yeah

[00:20:23] it just so good yeah and so it was just

[00:20:26] funny on a lot of women who the mom all she cares about is her her daughter's getting married All they care about is marrying for love and that's what they should care about And then she gets to go forward in time to a point where not only is she not bound by that class Even though there's plenty more work to do She also gets to give the declaration of love instead of just accept it And I thought that was really really like her realizing like to use the progress that she

[00:21:46] realized in the story to

[00:22:45] Welcome back, Tammy, et cetera.

[00:22:48] You made it. Is that Tammy Philo or is it a different Tammy?

[00:22:51] Different Tammy, but we do love Tammy Philo.

[00:22:53] We love Philo.tv.tsch.

[00:22:55] Watch this movie, watch the other things

[00:22:57] we're covering this week, all right there

[00:22:59] within the Philo and while you're at it, you can watch us.

[00:23:02] We got a channel right there in the guide.

[00:23:03] You can have us on all day long.

[00:23:05] That's what we have.

[00:23:06] We have ourselves on all day in the office. they didn't question it is because she says these things and then they don't always like, Wickham's not coming to the ball and then Wickham shows up at the ball and it's like, she doesn't know. Go out there and have a pipe on him. Well, I mean, she's right. We don't even use the freaking camera. I don't even know why we put it on. Why do we even get it? Hey! Hey, Blakey. Tip of the hot, nop, tip of the hot, pip, pip, diddly doo.

[00:24:20] She's right several times before she says that.

[00:24:24] So that's where they're like,

[00:24:25] oh, you're right, you's just a little bit of like, it's sacred. Like you got a little protect that thing. You know, some of our balls. That's all I have. I only have two, one at the beginning

[00:25:40] and one at the ends, uh, kind of where I was. Sure.

[00:25:43] When we go back in eight in 1815, you're just don't have anything. The freaking string did he bring it into the show? They're listening to warm shame smokers and he just Chomp string no, no

[00:27:05] Why would you do that I don't eat it. Like I can't at least let that sit. Yeah. Chomp, chomp.

[00:28:22] Got a chomp, chomp. Last but not least, maybe- Maybe string cheese in a parking lot. Maybe chomping through some string cheese. There is no world where the only thing that helped her cope was reading the same six books

[00:29:44] over and over again.

[00:29:45] That's not healthy.

[00:29:46] That's not okay. she should marry him, which is just like, it's so absurd, but you give that, it's fine. But she does that for the first 15 minutes she's in Jane Austen town. And then when she realizes she's in it, she immediately goes straight to trying to keep everyone on the Jane Austen track.

[00:31:01] Now, what's weird about that is,

[00:31:02] is if Jane Austen is so important in your life

[00:31:05] that it single-handedly got you through your parents divorce, because it keeps Brann on the line longer. Brann stays on the line because that's fun. It's fun times, but she goes straight to the, no, no, no. Elizabeth has to end up with Mr. Darcy and Wickham can't go to the ball and the blah, blah, blah. And it, and it's fine for Austin fans, but for the rest of us, I think if you had segued in with some sort of, Hey, she's having a

[00:32:20] blast cause this is her dream come true, that would have helped a ton. You know, it would have

[00:32:22] been a lot of fun too. If there was like, if there, I's going to be at least a span of time where you're doing some sort of bit yourself because you can't believe you're here. When's it going to be Christmas? Right. Imagine that. You're in there. You're looking at all the windows. Still? You're on. I am in that book actually. So, feel good about it. What are you going to say, Erin? There's a point here. I'll go to the Erin, I'll go to the Erin camp.

[00:33:40] Thank you.

[00:33:41] All right, good job.

[00:33:42] First, I would like to say these hats are really uncomfortable and...

[00:33:45] Super, duper uncomfortable.

[00:33:46] I really regret wearing this totally clear on it. I think we're supposed to think she's holding out for Mr. Darcy who she's read about over

[00:35:02] and over again as it saved her in a tough time and then she goes to see Mr. Darcy and

[00:35:08] realizes that's not her story. on, we have, who is this? I'm the maker. The maker of the movie. How's it going? Good, how are you? Doing well. You had a question for me. How many have you made? How many of these have you made? Of what? These movies. None of these movies, no sir. So, what did you make? I've made arts, crafts.

[00:36:23] What kind of arts and crafts have you made?

[00:36:24] Sketches.

[00:36:26] Sketches?

[00:36:26] Sketches.

[00:36:27] Sketches, I got you. was there any thought to changing the actual narrative of Pride and Prejudice? So having all of these characters and then going, you know what, the point of the book wasn't that every Elizabeth has a Darcy, the point of the book was status and what it meant to be in the patriarchy and what it meant to fight against that

[00:37:41] and what it meant to choose what you wanted.

[00:37:43] And what if in this story we found out

[00:37:45] that what people wanted was different?

[00:37:46] I know you can't back, we're reviewing, tomorrow's the day that we're reviewing it. Hopefully you'll join us for that one and so much more. Apparently we got a President's Day movie to review on Thursday. Lot of fun, lot of fun this week. Until then, maybe the first of which you ate. Merry Christmas.
