Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane (Hallmark+ - 2024) ft. Ryan Pappolla

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH

 

It’s 1981, and John and Lizzie are just a happy couple, dancing to Christmas songs. John is hammering chairs, and Lizzie is just lying left and right. Their daughter, Ivey, comes down the stairs and is so excited for Christmas… BUT ALSO HER BIRTHDAY!!!

Now it’s 2000, and Rebecca has just moved into the neighborhood. She’s greeted by Daisy, who awkwardly stands there until she gets an invite to come in. Daisy tells her she was smart to shovel that front porch, but Rebecca is like, “I didn’t.” Daisy gives her a blank greeting card and says people have been doing that all season long here on Cherry Lane. It’s fun! Suddenly, her friend Matt shows up. They’re just friends, OKAY?!

Back in 1966, smart guy David likes Christmas, but it pales in comparison to his neighbor Stephanie. She really does it up for Christmas. And she gets good news—her house might win a big TV contest, the Tommy Saunders’ Christmas Eve TV special! But the only problem is her house is too small, so she gives them David’s address. David is reluctant at first, but when he remembers that the woman in charge of the grant for his project loves Tommy Saunders, he says OK.

Rebecca and Matt’s mission is to find out who is doing the random acts of kindness on Christmas Eve.

Back in 1981, it becomes clear that John has been offered a big job that would take them to Michigan, and John is very concerned about leaving their home. Lizzie has her own secret—she’s pregnant and hasn’t told John. The word finally comes out that she’s pregnant, and he decides in that moment not to take the job and to stay there.

It’s time for Tommy Saunders to show up, and he makes them kiss on air, which they both really like—but it isn’t something David was planning on. So she ends up going on TV in the next segment and telling the truth. Then, they end up kissing after the crew leaves.

Lizzie finds out about the job and tells John that he has to take it.

The movie ends with John and Lizzie’s daughter showing up in 2000 to pull out her favorite record—the Tommy Saunders record—that she stored under the stairs. This reminds Rebecca, who is Tommy Saunders’ daughter, of all the good times she and Matt had together, and they end up kissing.

[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, I'm Brian and I love Hallmark Plus Movies Christmas Ones. Hi, I'm Ryan and I like Ben Ayer's Yellow Cardigan. I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Movies Plus Christmas Ones and this is the Deck the Hallmark Podcast. Deck the Hallmark, it's this podcast. Friends host this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Well hello everybody, did you miss us? You know what, you take a few days off, you get some emails that people are sad that you're not there. So we're back and better than ever. How was your Christmas ride, guys? Ryan, how was it? It was great, how about y'all? I need more details than it. It was great, give me the rundown. What time did you wake up? It was approximately woke up around 6am probably.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't write it down. I didn't, I didn't.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Do you? I'm going to ask you this, it's you and Lissa, just you and Lissa in the house there on Christmas morning.

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, and the kids. You're still waking up early?

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we, we, we do double duty. So we had to get to my parents in the morning, then we had to get back and then we went up, we went up past tense.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, of course, yeah. To Lissa's parents place, which is about an hour, 10 minute drive.

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I got you. So you're, you're, you're, you're still, there's a lot to pack in if you, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Yeah. I know what you're saying. It was a good one though.

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it was great. Uh, you know, watch the, watch the Grinch 2000 at the end of the night. Yep. Uh, you know, listen, I met because of the Grinch.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I've heard it. In case you missed our episode from right before Christmas, that was a singeing 12 minutes long. You, uh, you, uh, you may not know that Ryan and Lissa met through Jim Carrey's the Grinch. So something good did come out of that movie.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, let me ask you this, right? You had your 100 days of Christmas movies and it was full, you know, we all understood it. It was clear as crystal. Um, do you have some transitional movies that you've been watching over the last few days?

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been thinking a lot about that, Fran. You have. Okay. So tell me what you did because it's, it's happened. Yep. Well, we're still in the midst, right? I mean, so yeah, but, uh, yeah, I, I actually, you three, uh, Aaron included will really appreciate this. I think Johnny Tsunami might be a really good transitional. Snowboarding. That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. So you watched that over the last couple of days at some point? Already. Johnny Capahala already watched it. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. I've, uh, I've toyed around with, haven't watched

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: this one yet here on the 29th as we speak. Uh, the animated film Anastasia. Anastasia, the 30th might be a good one. Brian, are you familiar with Anastasia? I'm not really familiar with Anastasia. Oh, well, I've seen it once. It's delightful. It takes place. There's a lot of snow, so that might be good. You know? All right. Yeah. This is good stuff. And that's as far as I've gotten here. Well, you know, I, I, uh, typically, uh, I, I, I, I watched the holiday over the, over the, over the,

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Cameron Diaz. She's making a comeback. I watch, uh, while you were sleeping over the holiday while you were sleeping as a transitional movie. While you were sleeping is a good choice. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Um, what else did I watch? Uh, Anastasia, Anastasia. You're familiar, right? Ryan, are you familiar with Anastasia? Dan, how do you transition out of Christmas? The same way I do every year, brand. I'm not eight years old. It doesn't take any work.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, brand. Are you feeling like, are you now where I, we're here at the 30th. Are you a little more upbeat? I'm still, I'm still in the doldrums. If I'm being honest.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Guys, the week after Christmas is the best freaking week of the year. Speak for yourself, Daniel. It is. No one's doing anything. It's a little cold outside. You got more time to spend with family and friends. You rest, you recuperate, your brain relaxes, you get ready for a new year.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_05]: It's literally my favorite week of the year. And you guys are talking about it. Like it's just the doldrums over here. Give me the week from the 24th to the 31st over the week of the 17th.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_05]: We're not talking about the 24th and the 25th. We're not talking about that. Okay.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Talking about the 26th Christmas to new year's is my favorite. You say, all right, you can have the 24th. I would take Christmas, the 25th to the first over the 17th to the 24th.

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_05]: What if you take out Christmas day? You can have the 26th. But you get Christmas Eve night, which I like more than Christmas day. Give me.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just saying you were talking about the week after Christmas.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, I do think Christmas, it's my favorite week of the year because Christmas falls on it. But I like that week because it's restful. I'm not rushing around. There's no parties. There's no family get togethers. I'm just hanging out. It's my favorite week of the year, guys.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We all can agree, Bran, I think you're with me, that the December 26th through September 15th, probably the roughest stretch.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a tough stretch. If you want to tell me like January 5th is a tough day for you, fine.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_04]: That's closer to my birthday, so it starts to pick back up.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying, I live for the week after Christmas.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you watch before your birthday, Bran?

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't actually have any birthday specific.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you familiar with Anastasia?

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought about giving Anastasia a shot. Maybe Johnny Thunami.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. Brink.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_04]: The greatest movie of all time?

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Greatest movie of all time. Brink.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you come, Descendants, coming back in the new year?

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_04]: We're looking forward to that.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_05]: And maybe even the diss list coming your way to podcatchers in 2025.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I need another diss list. I need another go of things.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to send you the spreadsheet and you can choose one.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_05]: But help me, you can't choose another movie one.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_04]: The goal that we set out for the diss list, we crushed it this holiday season.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we did.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_04]: We crushed it.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_05]: We definitely recorded four or five of those to get ahead.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we got ahead of it.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_05]: There's no way we didn't do that.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we didn't.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Shall we talk about, what's this one?

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Deck the Hall.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I wrote Deck the Hallmark.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let's do it.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_04]: December 19th, 2024 is when it premiered on Hallmark Plus and it went a little something like this.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_04]: It's 1981 and John and Lizzie are just a happy couple dancing to Christmas songs.

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_04]: John is hammering chairs.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Lizzie is just lying, but we don't really know about what.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Their daughter Ivy comes down the stairs.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_04]: She's gotten so big since the first one where she was born.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Ivy.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's excited about Christmas, but also her birthday.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Now it's 2000 and Rebecca has just moved into the neighborhood.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_04]: She's greeted by Daisy, who awkwardly stands there until she gets an invite to come in.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_04]: It's my worst nightmare.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Daisy tells her that she was smart to shovel that front porch.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_04]: It gets icy and Rebecca's like, I didn't do it.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Daisy says, well, that explains this here card.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And she hands it to her.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_04]: It's blank.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, yeah, someone's been going around doing good deeds all holiday season long and leaving blank cards around.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Got to be honest, at this point, I was like, oh, it's just it's Daisy.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Daisy is doing it and acting like she doesn't want credit for her.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Can you believe the kindness of this anonymous person in here?

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_04]: It's insane.

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Suddenly, her friend Matt shows up.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_04]: They're just friends.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_04]: You sickos.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Back in 1966, smart guy David likes Christmas, but it pales in comparison to his neighbor, Stephanie.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_04]: She really does it up big for Christmas and she gets good news via a phone call on the telephone.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Her house is going to be featured on TV.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_04]: The Tommy Sanders Christmas Eve Saunders.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Tommy Saunders would never.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Tommy Saunders Christmas Eve TV special is going to feature her house.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_04]: But the only problem is her house is too small and she put on David's address on the application.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And so what is she to do?

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_04]: She goes over and she's like, hey, David, it's me.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know you don't know me, but I would like to decorate your house more for Christmas because Tommy Saunders is coming.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, so that's tough.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, I don't want to do that.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But then he realizes that the woman who's in charge of the grant that he's trying to get for the project that he's working on loves Tommy Saunders.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Big Tommy Saunders head.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Hands are tied.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, Rebecca and Matt's mission in this movie is to find out who's doing the random acts of kindness on Christmas Eve.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Turns out it's a kid.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Back in 1981, it becomes clear that John has been offered a big job that would take them from the state they live in to Michigan.

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_04]: And John is very concerned about leaving their home and what his wife will think about that.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, speaking of which, she has her own secret.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_04]: She is pregnant and she hasn't told John.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_04]: The word finally comes out, though, that she is pregnant and he decides not to tell her about the job because he's not going to take it.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just easier if we just don't do this because we have this great support system here.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It's going to be wonderful.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_04]: It's time for the Tommy Saunders show, everybody.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And he shows up.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_04]: They do the show and he makes them kiss on air, which they both really like.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_04]: But it isn't something David was planning on doing.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You see, he always thought that the first kiss with the first kiss with the person wouldn't be on TV.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_04]: So, uh, she ends up doing, uh, going back on TV in the next segment and telling the truth.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not together.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, so then after everybody leaves, they end up kissing some more.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_04]: So that's good.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_04]: So I guess it's all going to work out for them.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Lizzie finds out about the job and tells John that they have to take it.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_04]: It's too good, too good of an opportunity to pass up.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_04]: So, uh, they're going to, they're going to leave Cherry Lane.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_04]: The house is going to be up for sale, which hasn't happened in a long time.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_04]: What is it?

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_04]: 81?

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_04]: A few weeks.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_04]: 73?

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_05]: A few weeks.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought Aaron told me they stayed in the house till 98.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_05]: You said, go ahead.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't, whatever.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, anyway, the movie ends with, um, John and Lizzie's daughter showing up in the year

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_04]: 2000 to pull out her favorite record that she hid underneath the stairs.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_04]: That record?

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_04]: A Tommy Saunders record.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_04]: This reminds Rebecca, who is Tommy Saunders' daughter, of all the good times that she and

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Matt had together as they were kids.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_04]: So she rushes out to make sure that they remember those good times and to seal it with a kiss.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And that, my friends, was Deck the Hallmark Cherry Lane.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You did it.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_04]: We did it.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's do this.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll come back.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll get to the, uh, hot take and all the feels.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Here on Deck the Hall.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Deck the Hall.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_04]: At Cherry Lane.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_04]: At Cherry Lane.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_05]: So Anastasia, I believe, is a princess.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: John Cusack lends his voice, I do believe.

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's good.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Not to Anastasia.

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Dimitri.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, Dimitri is the character's name.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, let's get to the hot take.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It's where we share our thoughts on this movie, the third and final Cherry Lane movie,

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_04]: and the final Hallmark Plus movie of the year.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan, what'd you think?

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Already?

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, just a quick aside.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the first Aaron Cahill vehicle I've covered for the podcast.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really?

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: She's arguably the greatest.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_02]: She's arguably the greatest pink Ranger of all time.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So just wanted to show the proper respect up front.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Aaron.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll pass along the respect.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I've heard it both ways.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, this instantly felt like a much more fleshed out product.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the performances overall in this one were the strongest.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So like last week, we really liked what, uh, Ben Ayers and Serge were doing.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but I feel like the performances overall in this one were the finest of the three really

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_02]: have to say that I thought Brooke Dorsey.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen every single Brooke Dorsey performance, but out of the ones I've seen,

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: which is quite a few, this is by far my favorite.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like even by Hallmark standards, earthquake.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I feel like even by a Hallmark, uh, uh, standards, she usually gets typecasted as like

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_02]: miss Christmas, like a very, very upbeat, uh, optimistic person.

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought she had a little bit of edge here.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I quite liked it.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I was very, very, very engaged anytime she was on screen.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: However, even though the performances were better, I didn't really care about everything

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: else that was occurring.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No offense to Aaron Cahill.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and so like, you know, ultimately this was fine.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It was better than the first one.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, I would say the biggest thing with all three of these films is that they all

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_02]: would have worked better as plays.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's a bummer that they're all movies.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_05]: You want to see a stage production of that first, uh, cherry lane on Hallmark plus.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I just told you how I thought they would work better, Dan.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't tell you what I'm looking to see from the depths of hell in 2025.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_04]: In the words of my favorite principle from the Candace Cameron classic switch for Christmas.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_04]: That went well.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, didn't mind it.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Didn't mind it overall.

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought this one was sweet.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and I gotta be honest, Tommy Saunders scene stealer.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, not only did he make me giggle, he also sang a wonderful song, uh, which is a real

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_04]: song.

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I shazam, but let me see if I saw that shazam up.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Shazam.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I'll, I'll find it, but it's, Oh, here it is.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It's by Matt.

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's by the actor.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe look another time.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_04]: His name is Matt Dusk and the song is Christmas once again.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_04]: And I thought it was real sweet.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Shout out to Matt Dusk.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, shout out to, uh, the guy's buddy who becomes the cousin who decides because the TV

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_04]: people are coming, he's going to have a British accent.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Made me laugh.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and so once again, I do have my favorites and least favorite storyline, uh, storylines

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_04]: in the movies.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And, uh, that just kind of is the way things go with these ones, but I'm going, uh, let's

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_04]: see here.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_04]: The, uh, 1966 storyline with Tommy Saunders and then, um, the 1981 storyline with John and

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Lizzie and then the storyline.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_04]: 2000.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_04]: 2000.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_04]: That was Ryan's favorite.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_04]: What did you disagree with that?

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought Brooke Dorsey was great here.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I think Brooke Dorsey was wonderful as well, but I just didn't care as much about that storyline.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Fair enough.

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but here's a change your mind.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I will say of also the, the, the tying it all together with a bow at the end, um, which

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_04]: they do in these, these movies, I felt like this one, uh, was the most like surprising.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't see it coming.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, so, uh, yeah, overall this one worked as well as these ones can.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_04]: And it was my favorite of the three.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Dano?

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Don't cue up the music brand.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Seriously.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Don't.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_05]: This is borderline a pass, a passable.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, what was that?

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Is this the song?

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_05]: No.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a dance list.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: With Brandon Dan.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the dance list.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_03]: With Brandon Dan.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the dance list.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_03]: With Brandon Dan.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the dance list.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_03]: With Brandon Dan.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh man.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_05]: We got to do that show.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Sorry.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Somebody come up with a graphic for this list.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Best graphic we'll use for the pod.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Weekly pod.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, how about that?

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Come up with it.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_05]: We'll use it.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_05]: We'll, we'll shout you out.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I just need some sort of motivation because I want to do the show so badly.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_05]: We're going to actually do it.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, this is borderline a good movie guys.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_05]: It is.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, wow.

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_05]: This is.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_05]: So first of all, the performances across the board are good to excellent, which hasn't

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_05]: happened yet in one of these movies.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Second of all, in the first one of these that the three of us covered, it was a disaster.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_05]: All three storylines sucked in the next one.

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_05]: There was half of one good storyline.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_05]: This, in my opinion, has two really good storylines in 1966 and 1981.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_05]: And then in 2000, you have a storyline that initially is boring AF, but then it comes together

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_05]: very nicely.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Now, do they need a bow to wrap up all of these storylines together?

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Kind of crazy.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Having said that, you know, Brooke Dorsey and Sam Page were in one of the God wink movies

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_05]: like God wink three.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I'll see you in hell or whatever.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_05]: But that, that, those two together.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh man.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I was, I was doing fine.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Brian Harold laughed in the other room.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_05]: That threw me off.

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, the, the end of that, I thought they did a really nice job with, but let's be honest

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_05]: here, gang.

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_05]: John Brotherton, dude, I don't know what to tell you.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_05]: He needs to be in more movies.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_05]: He can carry a movie.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_05]: He's a great actor and he crushed it.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_05]: The, the 1966 storyline I think is excellent.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, I really enjoyed that on camera.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_05]: The, the, like the, you know, misunderstanding the fake relationship trope.

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, Chelsea Hobbs.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_05]: And, and Benjamin Hollingsworth.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_05]: And then the guy who was new to you, but I've seen her stuff.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_05]: It's new for me for Chelsea Hobbs for sure.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I just, what I would say is this is please.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: My, my worry is, is that me saying nice things about this movie will make it sound like I

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_05]: want any more of them.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_05]: And I just don't, but mathematically they can't do more, man.

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_05]: They could, you could figure it out.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I think they could do more, but they can't introduce any more.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_04]: No, you can't.

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_04]: My, you can't introduce.

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_05]: You can't.

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_05]: No, please don't.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_05]: There's just not at this one house can only take so much.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I, all I know is this, you, this, they ended on the best one.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Don't make any more.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I felt like this movie had a visual panache about it.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_05]: That was very distinct.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I felt like they were using some interesting camera shots.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_05]: The way they, they, the way it was like set up and established was, it felt very different

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_05]: to me.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_05]: The bet, in my opinion, the best Hallmark plus movie of the holiday season by a mile, almost

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_05]: bordering on good.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I can't believe they saved it for last.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you know what else we saved for last?

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, do you not, do you think number two is better than number three?

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_04]: You can't.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I, I, I said, you know, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a professional basketball

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_02]: player.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I know, but, uh, when, uh, that was last week, we now live in the present day here on December

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_02]: 30th.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Happy anniversary to my parents.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_05]: December 30th.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: This one, this one's better.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_02]: This one's better.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is the best Hallmark plus Christmas movie of all time.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not even last week's had a good run.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a good run.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Seven whole days, but you're still, we're, we're all picking Johnny tsunami over this,

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_04]: right?

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Johnny tsunami is better than any Christmas movie we've watched on Hallmark plus.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought you were going to say better than any Christmas movie this year.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: The megaplex better than every Hallmark plus Christmas movie.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I'm a, yeah.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Give me a, no God.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_05]: No.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Give me fan of the megaplex.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_03]: This land is your land.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Sit down.

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Sorry.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Phantom of the megaplex, Johnny tsunami, motocrossed and a cadet Kelly.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: No.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Cadet Kelly.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Those four.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_05]: What about Stank Stankerson?

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Not Stank Stankerson.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Those four are better than any of the Hallmark plus Christmas movies that I've seen.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm good with that.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we need to add Brink and a few others.

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_04]: No, stop it.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_04]: What about Space Jam starring Looney Tunes?

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Featuring the Looney Tunes even.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Featuring them.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_02]: They star in the film as far as it is.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_02]: As far as I'm concerned.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_05]: But they are also.

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Also, mom's got a date with a vampire.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_05]: That's my top five.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Mom's got a date.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Family Megaplex, Cadet Kelly, Johnny Tsunami, motocrossed.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I would slide this in, this one in ahead of Eddie's million dollar cook off.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know about that.

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I, I, I.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_04]: What a weird show this has become.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's get to all the feels.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Wish me, there's loose.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_05]: We're getting all the feels where we, where we, uh.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, you remember 34 minutes last week?

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_05]: What are we, at 20 something right now?

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we might get there.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_05]: It's longer than less.

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_05]: You go ahead, Ry.

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Bam.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Ooh.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_00]: What's that?

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Brandon.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it must be, uh, rough to have a birthday.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So, so close to Christmas.

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so shout out to anyone who has that as their reality.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, we're thinking about you.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_04]: We're thinking, we're thinking about, we're thinking about, we're thinking thoughts and

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_05]: prayers to you.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_05]: December 24th birthday is out there from Ryan Popola.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_05]: You got a spoken word jam for him.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Like what in the world?

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_05]: They're still human beings.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Get out of here.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_05]: We're thinking about, we're thinking about you.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Good God, man.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Now, shout out to those who have a birthday away from the birth of Jesus.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_05]: That's tough.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Can I ask you this one?

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_04]: My, my, my son's birthday was the 20th.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You thinking about him?

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_04]: You thinking about him?

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, man.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Grizz or Gavin?

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Grizz.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: The 20th, huh?

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_02]: How do you, how do you, how do you, how do you two operate?

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, uh, how do you, how do you distribute the gifts?

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, we partied on the 20th.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what we did.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And then Christmas is separate.

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I guess Santa's bringing them on Christmas day.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So like, you know, you're providing gifts on the 20th.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't, you don't do that, right?

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't sign gifts to Santa at home.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I, Santa's real.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_04]: So yes, I do.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Are you lying to the people on the podcast?

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't do this thing where I, where I talk about it on the air.

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I'm not doing that.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_05]: So you, you, you just said Santa's real.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_05]: So yes.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_05]: So you did talk about it on the air.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I, uh, we have presents.

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_04]: How about this?

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_04]: We have presents, uh, that one could, one could say come from Santa, but you don't.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_04]: But one could, one could, because they are, they are in a sense.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh boy.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_05]: In the way in which, what are we?

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_05]: What are gifts?

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_05]: You know how, uh, Ryan want us to do it in the arms of an angel for those kids born on

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_05]: December 24th.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_05]: That's how I think about you.

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm thinking about you right now.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, man.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I, uh, we hadn't just had a week off.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I echo what Ryan says.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's put up for the 24th.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's pour one up for those homies.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, I would love to keep the bit going for this segment, but when this dude goes into

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_05]: a full British accent because he's nervous and he becomes a character, it's the funniest

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_05]: thing that's happened in all of these Cherry Lane movies.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_05]: And I have to give it a shout out.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_05]: The guy just decides, cause he doesn't know what to do that.

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_05]: He's just going to be British.

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought it was really funny.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought the reaction to him doing that by Benjamin Hollingsworth was excellent.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Really great seat.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, let's take a quick break.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll come back and we'll get to, uh, the rest of it.

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And the, what the hallmark.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: We do the wait what.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Here on, take the hallmark.

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_04]: We're, uh, talking about Cherry Lane.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_05]: So Rasputin is like a wizard, right?

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_05]: And that's the thing that, is that accurate?

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_05]: That's not how I would describe it.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Is this Anastasia?

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause I don't remember the plot.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You watched it earlier this week.

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_05]: How do you not remember it?

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I believe I said I need to watch it before New Year's Eve.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So tomorrow.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still on the list.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Today or tomorrow.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It's the Anastasia day.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Tomorrow.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I believe the 31st.

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what most people do on New Year's Eve afternoon.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_04]: God forbid you share a birthday with Anastasia day.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Forget about it.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You're lost.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, let's get to, uh, let's get to the way.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_04]: What is when we talk about what in this movie?

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Wait, what?

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Winning a contest where you have to completely upend your Christmas Eve and bring, bring a

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02]: bunch of strangers into your home.

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Sounds terrible.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Day off.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Worst.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_05]: The worst.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Worst.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, it's like the worst contest prize of all time.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I don't exactly.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_02]: This was, I think, towards the middle of the film.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, she's reciting her essay from memory to sell it to the guy.

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So they can use his house.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and she says that carols are a big part of Christmas.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And then this is not a joke.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: This is not a bit.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_02]: She starts singing.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_02]: God rest ye merry gentlemen, which is a song I like, especially the Pentatonix version,

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_02]: but that's not a Christmas Eve carol song.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_02]: God rest ye merry gentlemen.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Let nothing you dismay.

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day to save us all from Satan's power.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not what you're singing a few hours before Christmas.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't think that's a Christmas Eve song?

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's a Christmas carol.

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I disagree.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I disagree for me.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's a Christmas.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_02]: That's, it's not joy to the world or jingle bells.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not, you're, you're doing that six hours.

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Tidings of comfort and joy, Ryan.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Tidings of comfort and joy.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I would argue God rest ye merry gentlemen.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Great Christmas Eve song.

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Joy to the world.

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Great Christmas day song.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I just think, I think I'm going to reject this.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Wait, what?

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I think I'm going to use my, my, my turn back.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the turn back sound.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's the sound you make.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_04]: The audience, the audience loved it.

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_05]: The audience loved it.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I hate that sound.

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It is.

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_02]: This job needs a verdict from a candidate on Christmas Eve.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: There it is.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Hard fast deadline.

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: We got to have it.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Gentlemen, let's go.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, you just can't get that out of a homework Christmas movies.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Like there, it's going to have an audition, a job offer, a meeting, something on Christmas

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Eve or Christmas.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_05]: And this was pretty egregious.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_02]: In the same movie where we're doing a live Christmas Eve show, by the way.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Unrelated.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Tommy Saunders, Sanders, depending on who you talk to, forcing them to kiss big ones

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on live TV was, I didn't like it.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: What a move.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, he also got like seven year old children to hold hands.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_04]: It was his kid though.

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_05]: So.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen, the sixties were another time, man.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_04]: They were another time.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, they were.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Those were just literally another time.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_04]: It was crazy.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_05]: No one can argue with what you said there.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_05]: The sixties were another time.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_05]: There was another time.

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_04]: So do with that, whatever you want.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Shout out to all the boys and girls out there that have a birthday on Christmas Eve.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know how you're doing it.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know how you're making it through, but this next one's for you, Ryan.

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Take it away.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, yeah.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So all those, uh, 24 babies, uh, Tommy Saunders, shout out.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Tommy Saunders, uh, depending on who you talk to, uh, says he does these broadcasts from

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: other people's homes every year on Christmas Eve to never forget what's real and the importance

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: of family when he could just not do a broadcast on Christmas Eve and spend time with his actual

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: family uninterrupted and probably would help him remember the importance of family a little

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_02]: bit better.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then last one for me, maybe the most important one of the entire film of the entire

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_02]: saga, the Cherry Lane saga, shout out to surge, uh, where and how is Brooke Dorsey watching the

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Tommy Saunders performance on her computer in the year 2000?

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no DVD drives yet.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02]: There's barely even DVDs.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I, I thought of that.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_05]: She had an ethernet cord running to the middle of her living room, which is one of mine.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_05]: It's neither here nor there, but there's no YouTube.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_05]: There's nothing of the sort.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm pretty sure laptops had a.

[00:28:19] Hmm.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Two thousand.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They've had a VHS.

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So DVDs barely exist, barely existed.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_05]: But if your dad was Tommy Saunders.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_05]: So I think you're right.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's a fair way.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_05]: And so she had some version of that song somewhere she could play.

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_05]: If it was anyone other than Tommy Saunders daughter, I think it's impossible, but I'm

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_02]: just glad you didn't use your second take back.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I got, I'm saving it for next week.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm saving it for tomorrow.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't use it.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, sorry.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll take my back.

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Take it back, Brent.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_04]: You used the take back.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Take back.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Great.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Got it.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Take back.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, here's some for you.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, the uncle shows up to, uh, bring presents for the, the girl whose birthday is on Christmas

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Eve 410.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_04]: And, uh, he decides that he is going to watch her open the presents while he stands by the

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_04]: front door wide open.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like, uh, once, once you finish opening it, I am making a run for it.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And I understand it's freezing.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That is freezing outside.

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It's cherry, cherry lane.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It's always cold over here, but I got to get out of here.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And so I'm going to leave it open quick, quick escape.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And you're good to go.

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, you were bothered by the God rest of the married gentlemen, uh, bit.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I was bothered by the fact that she just memorized the whole thing that she sent to Tommy Saunders.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen to this letter.

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I sent to it.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I have it right up, right up, right up beyond her.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a, it's really good.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, some might argue that God rest of the married gentlemen, not a Christmas Eve song, but

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_04]: that's either here nor there.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I got to memorize.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't you worry.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, your pretty little head.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, the kiss happens on the screen.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_04]: He goes downstairs to mope with his little doodads and whatnot.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_04]: She comes downstairs.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_04]: They have a heart to heart.

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, listen, I just, I don't want to be known as the guy who kissed somebody that

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_04]: he didn't know on Christmas Eve on TV.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And I just don't think that you're going to be known for that.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_04]: No one's going to care by the next day because one, yes, no one's going to care.

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_04]: But two, at this time, no one knew that you were lying about it to begin with.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So if anything, they think that you're just a guy that kissed his wife on national TV.

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought that was the biggest one to me, but I think for me, it was what he said right

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_05]: before that, which is I'm trying to change the world with my invention.

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And instead, like if he invents something that changes the world, do you think people are

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_05]: going to go shame?

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_05]: He kissed somebody on TV.

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Our guy over here cures cancer.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_04]: But no one's going to remember him.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_05]: No, because he happened to kiss a woman on television.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Remember the kiss on Tommy Saunders?

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh my gosh.

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_05]: He didn't kiss Tommy Saunders, although.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_05]: So weirdest line in the, maybe all of those movies.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And then I understand that's Tommy Saunders' kid and kid's friend or whatever.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_04]: The close up of these two children holding hands, sitting on one couch made me uncomfortable.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what to do with that.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_04]: So there you go.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Dano?

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_05]: We did mention it earlier, but I'll mention it again.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_05]: 2000 is like at the ripe age of the computer room.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_05]: So like I grew up in the 90s with the computer room.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_05]: There was a room in your house with the computer.

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_05]: It was also my dad.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Study, classic computer room situation.

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I know that Brooke Dorsey lives by herself.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_05]: But could there be a more inefficient place for your computer than middle of living room?

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Like middle of living room.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And you have to have an ethernet cord.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Your cords strewn across the floor.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Like literally go to any room in that ginormous house.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_05]: You live there by yourself and put the computer room there with the back facing the wall.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_05]: So the cords can be up against the wall where they belong.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Not as a tripping hazard for anyone that might visit you during the holidays or elsewhere.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I wrote down in this movie 1981 looks a lot like the year 2000.

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_05]: That's not how I remember it.

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm also offended.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_05]: It looks very similar.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_05]: And I also wrote down what is John Brotherton doing to that poor chair?

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_05]: In the first scene that we see John Brotherton, he is hammering on a chair like there is like it's a pinata and there's candy inside of it.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_05]: He's not trying to put one piece back together.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_05]: He's hammering hard, flipping it, hammering hard.

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_05]: He's not hammering a nail.

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_05]: He's not trying to put one piece.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_05]: It is just him hammering different parts of an old chair.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_05]: And it didn't make any sense to me at all.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't understand what was happening there.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I just kept going to stop.

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_04]: How do we get this guy to not fix the stair?

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_04]: We could have him attack a chair and then his wife be like, you're not allowed to hammer anything again.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the only thing I can think.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I have.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_05]: There have been things that have popped loose that I've gotten a hammer out on one end of that are old.

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_05]: A chair included at a kitchen table that I owned.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_05]: But you're not doing that on every edge of it.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Like he just keeps spinning it.

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Wait, wait, wait.

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Like what is he doing?

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Stop it, buddy.

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Like it's Christmas or close to it.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Save some for those unfortunate souls that were born on December 24th.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Brooke Dorsey's house is decorated to the nines in this movie.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Garland, there's a pink theme.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like green garland with like a pastel pink.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Her Christmas tree is something out of a balsam hill catalog.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_05]: It's perfect.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Stem to stern, her house is decorated to the nines.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And Sam Page comes in and is like, you're always a Grinch this time of year.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_05]: What?

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_05]: What?

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Who?

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Do you know?

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Do you mean like a Grinch post heart growing?

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Do you mean like a, like a, what are you talking?

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Last 30 seconds of the film Grinch?

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: No.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_05]: If you call someone a Grinch, they can't have Garland on their banister.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_05]: They can't be.

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_05]: It was a post heart growing.

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_04]: It had to be.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no way around it.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Post conversion.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Post Malone.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Post Malone.

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_04]: That's all I got.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's time for what the hallmark is where we wonder what could have been.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe having to declare any questions that we still have after watching this one.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_04]: So, uh, Ryan.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a question for you two.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Should we do the way home preview now?

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Or are we trying to squeeze that in before, uh, January?

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a couple of days from now.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a tough one.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Jacob's in present day.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_04]: How did last season ends?

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Jacob is in present day.

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Aaron, do you remember how last season ended?

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Season.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_04]: You remember the season?

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And is he a wizard or is he not a wizard?

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I looked it up.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Rasputin is described as evil wizard when I looked him up.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_05]: So I do feel better about that.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, the real life Rasputin was more of like a medical shaman type character.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure I looked up the cartoon.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Medical shaman, evil wizard.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_05]: We're splitting hairs here.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_05]: You don't remember.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_05]: You don't remember.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy to discuss the Anastasia movie in length.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_05]: In detail.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: If you will stop asking me how The Way Home is.

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I just hope the third season of The Way Home is better than the second season.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_05]: It's all about the seasons.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it a season or a saison?

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a saison.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_01]: A saison.

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I love a nice saison.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, let's see.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_05]: We're all right on Scrubs.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Donald Faison.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Donald Saison.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Faison.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Nope.

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_05]: The janitor.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Jacob's in present day.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Kyler Lee ended up.

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to have to watch the finale.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We can't go back to the witch times, right?

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Like they can't.

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I think they can.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Can we all agree we'll watch the finale before?

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't even watch Cherry Lane Zero.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You think I'm going to rewatch the finale of The Way Home?

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Are you kidding me right now?

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_05]: What a dumb thing to say out loud.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: That was almost as bad as the kids born in the 24th.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you want me to rewatch the finale and give you clip notes?

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I would love that.

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I would love for you to watch the finale and then record a previously on for me.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Would love that.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Would love that.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I will do that while I rewatch all four Cherry Lanes and do a deep dive on the universe.

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_01]: While Anastasia plays on a loop.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: The Merborn Cherry Lane is coming.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Anastasia Pod.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Stop selling.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I love Anastasia historically and the cartoon, so please don't.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_01]: This is my soapbox.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get off it because we don't have time.

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_01]: We're already longer than last week's episode.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_05]: It's actually the sequel to Fantasia, if you can believe it.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Stop it.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a lot.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Fantasia 2000 is the sequel to Fantasia.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, it's the sequel to Fantasia 2000.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_05]: It's called Anastasia.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_05]: It's without Astasia.

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_02]: My Antistasia.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_05]: My.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_05]: You guys ever heard of Astasia?

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't want any part of that.

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm missing my Astasia.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Y'all seen it?

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a lot of great things we could do here.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_05]: And we're doing it.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Mine is, will Hallmark Plus be around in the way in which it is around this time next year?

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Putting out new movies, being as crowded as it was this holiday season, or will it go back to being little Hallmark movies now where you can watch some movies occasionally if you want to?

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I know they've got some unscripted stuff that's launching still in the new year.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_04]: They've announced all that, and that's coming.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But will we have another crop like this, a four-movie series, a three-movie series?

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_04]: How are they going to do that next year?

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_04]: That's my question.

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Dano?

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_05]: All I could think about while watching this movie, albeit it being the best one, was I just keep hearing in the Double Decker Facebook group where you can join BrambleJamPlus.com.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the dance list with Brandon Dan.

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the dance list with Brandon Dan.

[00:37:53] Sorry.

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Take it back.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_05]: So I was thinking, in the Double Decker Facebook group, it feels like every day I see another post about how great Holidays or Mistletoe Murders were.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_05]: This morning, in fact, one Erin Shea came in, was thrilled to be here on December 30th, and she said to me that the last five minutes of a certain episode of Mistletoe Murders was the best thing she'd seen on TV all year long.

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_05]: And so what's in my head while I'm watching?

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I know.

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I really oversold it, and I'm sorry, but it was a crazy thing to say.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a crazy thing to say.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Almost as crazy as Cheetah Girls Top Ten, but we'll get there later.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That's insane.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I've already forgot.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it in my top ten?

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, seven.

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to have to read it.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Seven.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Cheetah Girls, too, are really good, but neither here nor there.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Rasputin.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_05]: All I know is this, is we spend our time in our busy, busy holiday watching four unwrapping movies and three Cherry Lane movies.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_05]: And we could have been watching what is, by all accounts, higher quality television from Homework Plus.

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_05]: And I just regret our decision, but we've never not watched all the Homework movies.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_05]: That's why we made it.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to have to make that decision again next year.

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Christmas in July.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be in there.

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I think hopefully before then.

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I swear if you wait until July.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_04]: We're starting in January.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll start with January.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I hate it.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I hate it here.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, I just want to say this.

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I just want to say this, and I want to put it out there.

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Next year, if they have this situation where it's movies versus show, we put it to a vote.

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Or, or, I got an idea I'm going to tell you off air, and I just decided I'm not going to tell you that on air.

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_02]: A tease to end the year?

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_02]: How about that?

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Tease to end the year.

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, we did it, everybody.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Congratulations to us.

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_04]: We did it.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to be back tomorrow.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_04]: We got one more.

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to do a little Lifetime on Cork tomorrow.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Patrick's going to be here to talk about the Marcus Rosner Bristow joint, which is going to be a lot of fun.

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So, come on back for that.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Until then, maybe we're the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.
