An obsessive fan kidnaps a former child star to live out the fantasy of having her character as a best friend.
[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_02] Hi, I'm Bran and I love Lifetime Movies. Hi, I'm Patrick Serrano and I'm a Lifetime Movie Expert. I'm Dan and I despise Lifetime Movies and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark gets this podcast. And friends host this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Yes. Back in better than ever. Yeah. Patrick's
[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_02] back. It's always very exciting. The people love you. That's so nice. I love them too. Great. All of them? Well, there's probably one that's my enemy, but we'll figure it out later. But the enemy, the enemy of your enemy is friends. You're my friend and they're my enemies. They could be my friend if you think about it that way. Do you know this week we have five Deck The Hallmark hosts that each get one episode this week? Wow. Isn't that fun? Look at us. Five Deck The Hallmark hosts and they all get one.
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_02] Five? Yeah. Alonzo, Patrick, Ryan, Jack, Brian. Those are the five. Okay. And is this elimination style? Whoever does the best. We are having a Saturday episode where we eliminate one of the five and then every week we'll do so until there's only one host to rule them all and that will be the host moving forward for every episode. And I know that you know this, Patrick, but by eliminate we mean kill. We do mean kill. And that was, you signed up for it. You signed up for it.
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I didn't read the dotted, what is it called? The fine print? I didn't read the fine print. The dotted lines. I gotta be honest as you're already struggling. I was worried about the dotted lines. I was like jumping ahead. Like, where's the dotted line part? Yeah. And then is it an onstage execution of Bramble Fest? Is that what it is? Onstage execution. Tickets on sale now. DeckTheHomer.com slash fest. We would love for you to join us this July. And Brian, maybe fingers crossed don't show up that way.
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01] July 8th. Honestly, I think the stage was getting a little too full. So this does make sense. July 18th, 19th. That part is real. Bramble Fest is really happening. We're not executing anyone yet. We'll see. We'll see how the week goes. I'm very excited about Bramble Fest. I'm always excited to get to hang out with you, Patrick, and it can't come soon enough.
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. It's basically summer camp. I love it. It's blocked on my calendar. I'm there. Well, I haven't been invited yet, but I'm assuming I'm there.
[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_02] Patrick, get out of here. Stop it. You're invited. You have a perennial invitation to Bramble Fest. You know that.
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_04] That means you have to bring your parents. If only I knew what perennial means.
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, you gotta bring a parent with you. You gotta bring your parents with you.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Exactly. My parents, they never age.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01] They never age. Have your parents listened to our show? Have you ever heard of them before?
[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_04] Probably. You know, I think they were kind of over it by the time I jumped on with you guys. And they were like, okay, we did. They recorded a podcast with me. And after that, they were like, all right, we've done the work.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_01] We understand. We did the one. We did recently get a review on Deck the Hallmark, Patrick, from somebody who's a big fan of you and Lifetime. Nice. Less a fan of us.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_02] And that's okay. Okay.
[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, so it was like Patrick should take over and...
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_02] It wasn't that, but they probably wouldn't be upset. I think they said they found us because of you. Right. And then our show isn't very good.
[00:03:33] Yeah.
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_02] That's basically the long and short of it.
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01] Listen, fair.
[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. I get it. Yeah. They're very different shows. You guys have segments, and I notably don't. Notably. Because that's too much work. That's too much work.
[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every time you do a Hallmark movie with us and you do the segments, you're like, I just can't.
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_04] There's too much structure. Yeah. Wait, what? Wait, what?
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_03] How?
[00:03:56] How? How?
[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_01] You basically want to move up with and how. Yeah, that's right. For my who. I do. Yeah. All right. Today, we are covering I Am Your Biggest Fan. No? Not I'm Legend. I Am Your Biggest Fan. Very excited. I'm in a stalker movie. Yes. Yes. And for those of you, maybe this is your first act of a lifetime on courts somehow. I don't know how you just now found this. Welcome. Welcome. Patrick, you and I have seen the movie. Dan has not seen the movie.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01] And we're going to explain the movie, walk you through it. And at the end of it, we get to decide whether or not it was good or not. Poured up. Poured up. That's exactly right. So thanks for joining us.
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_04] It's not a rating of quality. It's what you poured up. Are you into it?
[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_02] The genius of the way it is, it doesn't matter if you'd give it a 5 of 10 or an 8 of 10. It's just basically, would I watch it again? Basically, would I recommend this? Is there anything I could say that's like, no, this is worth it? That's a poured up. I'll put a cork in. It's like, nah, never. Never again. I'm done.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_04] Pretty simple. Your time is valuable. Yeah. And we're here to help.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_01] That's exactly right. So today's movie is I Am Your Biggest Fan, which premiered this past Saturday on Lifetime. So Patrick, what else do we need to know before we dive in?
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_04] There's a lot. Yes. So the cast, of course, I'll read through the names. They gave me a tricky one right off the bat. Megan Carquillo. Megan Carquillo.
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Nailed it.
[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_04] Lauren Cole. Yeah. And Colton Tapp. Colton Tapp.
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_01] And most notably. What's on tap?
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_04] Colton. Colton. Colton's on tap. Colton's on tap. Most notably, directed by Haley Duff, Lifetime Queen, Hilary Duff's older sister, and a legend in her own right. Haley Duff joint.
[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01] I just want to say. Now, this is not her first Lifetime movie she's directed, correct?
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_04] Right. It's not her first, but she used to be prolifically on these in the early 2000s or mid-2000s.
[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_01] I don't know how true this is, but apparently this is kind of like what she's doing now. She's directing these movies. I heard from, I was talking to a buddy who is in the industry, and I told him that I watched this movie and that Haley Duff directed it. And he was like, oh yeah, she's directing a ton of these. He's just got a whole bucket full of them. A whole bucket full.
[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_04] Oh yeah.
[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01] Good kudos to Haley Duff.
[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_04] Much like Fran Drescher, she has style, she has class. She was there. That's how she became the director.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_01] Well, that's the whole thing. Yeah. That's the whole ballgame. Exactly. And no Haley Duff in this movie, though. She's strictly behind the camera.
[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_04] She's a real director. She doesn't need, she's not Alfred Hitchcock, okay? She doesn't need to make a cameo. She's not M. Night Shyamalan.
[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_02] She's not M. Night Shyamalan. There it is. Yeah. That's right. Shout out M. Night Shyamalan. She's not those two directors notorious for doing this thing.
[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. That's right. I've done my time in front of the camera. I'm here to go deep into the psyche of, I only want to work on projects that mean a lot to me. And this one clearly worked for her on so many levels. You'll see, Dan. You'll see.
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, I'm excited to, I mean, clearly you guys are kind of giving it away here that it's a good one. It's a winner. Oh, I don't know.
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_04] It could be so bad. It could be so bad. It's good.
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02] All right.
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01] We'll see. Don't act like you know.
[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. But I want to start off. I don't usually do this. I brought a clip. Right off the bat. Right off the bat. We're going to start at the end. I do want to. I have a new mic, everyone. It's pink. I want to see what you think about the, we're going to start at the end and then Dan, how we got there. You know what I mean? Oh, I like what you're doing here.
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_04] Exactly. All right. So let me make sure my sound is on. Okay. Great.
[00:07:49] All right.
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_00] Who's ready to do some Shakespeare?
[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. That's the end of the movie. That's literally the last line of the movie.
[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_01] Brother, I gotta be honest with you. Could not believe it when they cheered.
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02] Who's ready to do some Shakespeare followed by a thunderous applause? So she's directing a play?
[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_04] Well, we'll get there. It all, it all will make sense to you. But I just want you to know that that was the, probably the, one of the best. And you know, when you, you, in the lifetime movie, you have all the terrible things happen. And then you cut to like five weeks later and that was it. That was it.
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01] I, uh, I did laugh out loud at the, the cheering of that. Yes. Y'all ready for some Shakespeare? Who's ready to do Shakespeare?
[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_02] We love you, Billy.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_04] Billy Shakespeare. That's no one.
[00:08:41] Yeah, I know.
[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. The movie actually starts what we're like in a, in a flashback. Uh, I'm trying to set the era. Um, they have like a TV that's not a flat screen. So that era square.
[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_02] Right. Big tube TV. Four, three tube TV. That's exactly right. Got it.
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. There is a young child of maybe 10 years old, um, sitting in front of the TV, very close. Yes. Um, and, uh, kind of watching the sitcom and the sitcom is called from the heart and it's giving, um, like full house kind of a boy meets world. Like that time, a wholesome, like family show.
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Yeah. Family, you know, uh, having fun in the living room, lat, full audience, multi cam. That's right. Yes.
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_04] Yep. And, uh, you know, she's got that volume turned up real loud because her parents are fighting in the background and the voiceover of the fighting is just the most wild. Like they had me record the voiceover, uh, you know, like in post and they're like, Patrick, can you just send in some clips? And I'm like, don't tell me what to do. And you're like, well, I'm over here. I'm over here doing my thing. You know, like that.
[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02] All of your voice work is very Southern Patrick. Like you're not, but all of your voice work is very much. Don't tell me what to do. I'm over here. Like, it's all like you went, you're right in the Southern. It's just fascinating.
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_04] I've been watching a lot of Betty Davis lately. So she's rubbing off.
[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_02] It's what the role called for Dan. Yeah. Of course. Those two roles. It is. It is. Both of them.
[00:10:17] Of course.
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_04] Um, but yeah, the, the fighting was a little, uh, unhinged cause it was just like not really fighting, just people shouting. Um, we flashed a present day. We're in, we're in LA. We see all like the interstates connecting and everything. And we learned that the TV show, the one, the one called that I'm never going to remember from the heart, from the heart is, uh, rumored to be getting a reboot because it went so picked up on streaming and it's now very popular. So that whole kind of trend.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01] And, and they keep, you know, they keep saying streaming there. They know streaming. They know. Lifetime knows this show on the streaming. This show took off on streaming and the reboot would also be for streaming. Yeah. Uh, right. Don't ask the streamer. Does it matter? Fuller house. Yeah. For streaming.
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Fuller house. Great example. There's so many examples of this. Uh, the one with Megan Markle. Well, I don't, I never watched that show, but Megan Markle was in it. And, uh, but yeah, Haley Duff knows all about this. Because Haley Duff, her sister was Lizzie McGuire. And they tried to reboot that. And then Lizzie McGuire couldn't have sex. And Haley, Haley Duff was like, sis, you got to drop the show. You got to get out of this contract. And she said, well, I didn't sign on the dotted line.
[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_02] What just happened? Well, you know, Haley Duff couldn't have sex. What are you talking about?
[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_01] Aaron, hold on. Aaron, give Dan the down low here because this is very important. I don't know. Like, I.
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_00] So let's start with the basics. Dan, you remember there was a show, Lizzie McGuire. Yes. That you've never seen. Okay.
[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01] Cadet Kelly, you know. Yeah. Cadet Kelly. Sure. Yes.
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_00] A couple years ago, they were going to reboot it with a 30-year-old Lizzie. And all the original cast had like signed back on. We were going to pick up, you know.
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_02] That's exciting for all you Lizzie McGuire.
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_01] It was very exciting. Very exciting. This was right when Disney Plus launched.
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_00] Launched.
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01] And it was one of the, this is what's coming type things. It was a big part of that.
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00] A lot of fan, you know, excitement. Why we signed up.
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_02] Okay. For the promise of Lizzie McGuire. For the promise of Lizzie McGuire reboot. That's why we're here.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00] They've either filmed an episode. They've at least written the first two episodes. And then Disney had a huge issue because Hillary and I'm blanking on the creator's name, but they were very adamant that the show pick up with Lizzie being 30 and it being written for an audience of 30.
[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_02] Well, she's 30. Yes.
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_00] Yes. But it's not like when they rebooted, you know, Girl Meets World, that was a show not for the fans of Boy Meets World. Correct. That was a show for current, you know, 12 year olds.
[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_02] So what did Disney think? That they were going to be 30 year olds acting like 12 year olds?
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_00] Yep. And so.
[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_01] Like maybe, maybe what they wanted was the same thing as Girl Meets World where it's like Lizzie's now a mom. Lizzie's a mom. But it's mainly about the kids. Okay. That makes sense.
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_00] Whereas the show was originally like pitched with the idea of this is like Lizzie's the main character. And then. As she should be. It's called Lizzie McGuire. And they wanted it to be more dumbed down, you know, and Lizzie thought that would. And Hillary thought that wasn't fair to the fans. Lizzie as we call her. Lizzie as we call her. And so Disney scrapped it. They said we can't put content like that on Disney Plus, which is really funny. It's hilarious now.
[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_02] Deadpool versus Wolverine is on. Yeah.
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_00] So we can get Deadpool versus Wolverine on Disney Plus, but how dare Lizzie be a single woman in New York City in her 30s going on dates?
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_02] And that's how she met your father.
[00:13:47] Yeah.
[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_00] Which is a show I used as my replacement Lizzie McGuire. Then they canceled that too. I'm sorry for you. Yeah. I'm sad. I'm just real sad. I hate it here. I'm still holding out hope.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02] Interesting. That they. Shocking from you, Bram. I'm still holding out hope.
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_00] So that's where we're at.
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_02] Big if true.
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_00] I'm upset. I was already having a rough Monday, much like Dan. And this is making it worse. So I hope this movie is funny and can lift my spirits.
[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_02] All right. Back to you, Patrick. I'm sorry. Lizzie McGuire can't have sex about it.
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_00] Oh, Nip Talk is on Disney Plus and I can't get a Lizzie McGuire reboot.
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_04] Well, you're right. You're right.
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_02] What if they did a kid's horse horse, Nip Talk's kids?
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_04] They're rebooting Nip Talk too. I mean, this is just a continual thing like the IP renewal. So this movie is very on topic on current trends. You know what I'm saying?
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_01] Yes.
[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_04] So we, everybody's on board for the reboot. Everybody's on board. All the actors, except for the one star, the Lizzie McGuire, if you would, if you were to compare it. Her name is Delilah. She's now a high school teacher.
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_02] Delilah. Sorry. Go ahead, Patrick. Whenever you're ready.
[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Right. She's a high school teacher. She teaches theater and all the kids are like, oh, you were on a show when you were like a kid. That's so funny. And you're such a loser for doing that. They're like not impressed at all. And there's another guy, her co-star, her like little love interest on the show. His name's Cody. And he's out there like struggling after doing auditions for like foot fungal commercials
[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_04] and stuff like it's not going well for him. Right.
[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_01] Right. Right. And he goes in the audition room and he crutches it, of course. But all of all the casting director really wants to talk about is, hey, I hear the show might be getting rebooted.
[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_02] He's just trying to make a name for himself. All he gets to hear about is CCB in Fuller House. That's exactly right. I got it.
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. And everybody's trying to get Delilah to get on board like the producer calls and she's like not interested. I give you my blessing, like recast me. I don't care. Cody calls and he's like, please, like I need a job. I'm trying to be an actor and this would really help me out. And she's like, it's really traumatic for me. I have a lot of bad memories from the show and on the set. And it just is not. I'm not I'm not feeling it. Right.
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_01] And Dan, we do. You know, you might be wondering what like what's the deal? Why was this so traumatic? What's the deal? That's exactly right. We do get a flashback of her doing Shakespeare, not doing Shakespeare. She's doing All My Heart or whatever the show is called. And from the heart, from the heart. All My Heart's Brendan. Brendan Elliott. OK. Right. Right. And she forgets a line. Oh, no. And her TV dad is like he throws up his arms like, what the heck?
[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01] And then he goes she goes and she's pulled aside from her mom who is like on set. And she's just like, I don't care what's going on in your life. I don't care. You got to get this. You got to do this. There's no time to be tired. You got to be a professional. And so her mom is like really like trying to get her to do this stuff. And so like this traumatic experience is like this wasn't fun for me. This wasn't a fun thing. And my mom was really mean to me. And that's why she doesn't want to do this because it's traumatic.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01] That was like some actual Disney child stars. Yeah. Right.
[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_04] I'm sure. Exactly. It was very much giving that. And I brought a clip of this specifically because, Dan, I want you to listen to the the link or not the language, the dialogue in the actual show is just wild. OK.
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_01] Are you ready? I'm ready. And you're using the heck out of this new microphone. They are. Here it comes. Oh, here it comes.
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_04] OK. Oh, God. I'm so bad at this. OK.
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_01] Here it comes. File it on TV slash DTH. I love that. I like Patrick. No, like Patrick has sent me clips before to play. And today he's like, I don't want to. I'm not doing this new mic.
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_04] I didn't. I didn't. I was like, I could do it myself. I don't need. I don't need a high tech. OK.
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_01] I'm the only one who can laugh at you.
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_04] What? I'm the only one that can laugh at you. That is so rude. That is not funny. That is so rude.
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_02] Classic full house. So rude. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, you're right. I didn't even think of that.
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_02] How rude. It's how rude. How rude.
[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_04] How rude. It's how rude. But yeah, I was like, man, this writing is terrible. They're just so mean to this poor child. Yeah. For no reason.
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01] So raven. How rude. Yeah. And then like, he's not nice to her either as on set. Like he was so like mad that she forgot the line. It was very sad.
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. You know, they're just happening to. Well, I can't say who, but we know. We all know who that was supposed to be. We all know.
[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_02] We do.
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_04] He has great hair. Oh. Right. John Stamos? I didn't say it. I didn't say it. Allegedly. Allegedly.
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_01] John Stamos was mean on set? Full house? Of course. No. No, guys. I have no idea. I have no idea.
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_02] Oh my gosh, dude. You're going to get us sued.
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_01] I got to be honest. John Stamos, if you're listening. I said alleged. I want to let you know that I just watched your Drumeo video of you. He's a drummer. I don't know if you know this about John Stamos. I did not know this. He's a drummer and he really does play with the Beach Boys occasionally and like do these things. I've heard this from you maybe.
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01] There's a YouTube channel called Drumeo where they bring in drummers to play the songs that they've never heard before without the drum track. So they listen to the song. They've never heard the song before. And then they put their own drums behind it. Oh, okay. And he did it with the Papa Roach song. Come my life and he was great. He'd never heard that song before. And he crushed it. So Johnny crushed it. Shout out John Stamos.
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_04] Well, that's incredible. And you know, no shade to John Stamos. I've actually heard he's pretty nice. So just want to clear the air there real quick. Yeah. So you know who's not nice.
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_02] It was David Coulier that was the monster. That's right. I'm just kidding. No, just kidding.
[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_04] You know who's not nice? Delilah's fans. They're all mad. They are all sending me messages. They're sending. They're like throwing rocks to her window with like X'd out eyes, you know, vandalizing her car. All sorts of terrible things.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01] Were you confused, Patrick, at all when the news breaks that she's not going to do the show or whatever? And she opens up her phone and she's like flooded with a bunch of messages. Yeah. I was like, are these like her friends and family that are texting her these things? Like, I didn't know where these messages were coming from.
[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_04] I think they were coming from her social media. Right. Like messages. That would have been my. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, but I wrote some of them down. Okay. Please do. Please tell us. My favorite was Delilah the downer dot dot dot. What else do I have? She used to be my favorite part of the show. Okay.
[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_01] I like, I like the person that said, boom. That's all. Wow.
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, that's good. Just came here to say my.
[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_01] That's all.
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. My year equal equal sign ruined.
[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_02] My year equal sign ruined.
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01] What is, you know, what's I'm gagged?
[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_04] I'm gagged. Like I'm dead. Like, like, oh, this is so shocking. Oh, she must want to stay in her flop era. That was pretty.
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, man. But yeah, things start getting really serious, really fast. Rock thrown through her window. Car vandalized. Deck the Hallmark going to break. Wow. All that stuff. All that stuff's happening. We figure it out after the break. I think so.
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02] I think we have to because it's. That's one of the things. We'll be right back. Everything. Deck the Hallmark. Lifetime on course. Good guy.
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01] We're back, everybody. Things are getting serious. Delilah is having a tough time and she's not feeling safe. At her house. What is she to do?
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_04] Well, she calls the cops, which is which is what you're not supposed to do in a lifetime movie because the lifetime cops are never going to care about your problems. They're just going to say you're famous. You deserve this type of attention. That's right. And she's like, what? They're like, get a security camera. Like, we don't know what to tell you. Like, get a life. Do the reboot. We're out of here. They're the meanest. They're the meanest cops I've seen in a lifetime movie in a while.
[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_01] Wow. Yeah, they are very. Everybody is very pushy towards her doing this reboot. Even people that shouldn't have any opinion on the matter.
[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_04] Right. So she's like not feeling safe in her home. She goes to the coffee shop where she grades her papers for school. As you know, Dan, you were a principal. And that's where you go to do work. You go to the coffee shop. And there's this girl there.
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02] You don't have a basket school for sure.
[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Yeah, I know. There's a barista there. She's got little like Princess Leia ears. Is that what those are called? Or little Minnie Mouse ears? But it's her hair. And she has bangs. And she's got a lot of hair going on. Oh, the Cinnabons. Yeah. Like the Cinnabons. But if you moved them up.
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01] Here's a picture. Space buns. Is that what they're called? That's her. Got it.
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_04] Space buns. Yeah. And she is giving like young, cool, young, cool barista. She's very sweet and nice. She's very nice. Right? Right, Brant? She's very nice.
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01] And I was a bit like unsure because part of me was like, she's definitely the one who's the big fan. But also she was very convincing that she was very nice. She was convincingly nice. Exactly.
[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_04] I mean, there's no like. Yeah. There's no shadiness. And she does the thing.
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_01] And she does the thing where it's like, you know, everybody wants me to like I did this show as a kid. And she's like, oh, really? Like what show? Like plays it off. Like she's. Yeah. Didn't know who she was and didn't know about this reboot. She's very surprised by all of it. And just plays it off. Just plays it off. All right.
[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. It's really good advice for when you meet famous people. You have to act very nonchalant about it like I did with Marcus Rosner.
[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_02] And Andrew Walker.
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_04] That's still. Actually, Andrew Walker. I actually did a good job. But Marcus Rosner. I said, hey, can I be like thirsty the whole weekend over you? I was like a bit. I mean, I am. That's why he said he never would come back.
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_01] We forgot to share that with you, but he's never coming back.
[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, he's never coming back. No, that's it. Okay. Well, okay. Well, we'll get the next one.
[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02] He filed a restraining order, but it was in Canada. And those, the translation there, I think you're good, Patrick. I think you're good here in the States. Yeah.
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, great. Great. But no, she's like very, very cool. She reminds me a lot of Beverly Mitchell. Have you ever seen Beverly Mitchell do acting? You talking about Seventh Heaven?
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_04] The sister who's like playing young, but she's like the oldest person in the cast.
[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. Oh, boy. Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_04] So, yeah, that's kind of the vibe I was getting from her. Delilah offers, or Delilah agrees to move in with this barista girl. Her name's Ellen. And they live above the coffee shop, so it's not far to go. And she has a really nice night. Like they have breakfast in the morning and like have girl talk. And like they seem like, you know, roommates having a nice time. Nothing weird. No weird lifetime music or like a weird stare or a weird like touch.
[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_04] Nothing like that.
[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_02] Nothing. No. Nothing at all. No problems. Clearly. Great.
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04] No problems. The end. Right.
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_02] Let's do some Shakespeare.
[00:25:36] Shakespeare.
[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_04] Let's do some Shakespeare. Yeah. But the mother, Delilah's mother shows up and she's like, hey, why are you not doing this reboot? You're so ungrateful. You need to get your life together. And you should be happy that these people care about you at all. And Delilah's like, this is not cool. You're the one who's stalking me. I'm out of here. She goes with Ellen.
[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_01] She thinks that it's her mom that did all this stuff. She thinks it's her mom. Right. Because that's, you know, part and parcel with what mom has done. Yeah. Mom was mean to her. Mom's mean to me. Then mom's mean to me. Now mom's mean to me forever.
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_04] Right. So she's trying to get out of town to get away from her mother stalking her. And Ellen's like, my parents have a house. I'm house sitting. It's in the middle of like nowhere, but it'll be a good break from all this drama. Delilah's like, this sounds great.
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_01] To which if I'm Delilah, I'm just being like, oh, well, if you're going to be gone at your parents' house, can I just stay at your apartment?
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_04] You're right.
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01] But she doesn't do that. That would be a much better solution. She doesn't do that. No. She's like, yeah, I'll come with you to your parents' house.
[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Where there's no cell service, no Wi-Fi, no nothing. The dryer breaks. And then Ellen's like, here, wear this. It's an exact replica of the costume she wore in the show.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_04] Which I thought was hilarious.
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01] She's like, oh, you know, this is my parents' place. So I only have stuff that I had when I was a kid or whatever. And then it is an exact replica. And Delilah's like, oh, this does kind of look like something that I would have worn. Huh. That's crazy.
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_04] That's so weird. She goes to look for like a sweater because she's cold or something. And this is when she realizes she's in trouble. She finds a closet full of like little notebooks about her character. Her character's name is Chelsea. And then you see Ellen kind of come up behind her and she's like, you shouldn't be snooping through people's things. Oh, my gosh. Chelsea. Chelsea.
[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01] And then puts a needle in her neck and she collapses.
[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I love a good needle in her neck. And she's like, you're not going anywhere. You're not going anywhere. Have you seen Dexter, Patrick? Dexter. Haven't seen it. I haven't seen it.
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02] There's a lot of needles to necks in Dexter. I think you'd really enjoy yourself if that's a thing for you. Okay. Yeah.
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_04] Great. I'll check it out. Really quick.
[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02] Dexter like you had seen it. And then immediately. Dexter. Haven't seen it. No. Wouldn't dare.
[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_01] Wouldn't dare. Haven't. I will say really quickly, Patrick. One thing before the closet incident is she's like, oh, I'm going to drive into town. Come with me and you can check your email or whatever. The car doesn't start. Oh, boy. And Delilah starts to be like, this is a little bit weird. And so she goes inside to grab something and then watches. What is it? Ella? Is that the girl's name? Watches Ellen. Ellen. Like, just like kind of look at the car.
[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_01] And I think she has like a shovel in her hand. And that's when Delilah's like, I think something might be going on. So she does go into her room and the closet. And like she says it's because she's cold. But I think that she really was just like beginning to realize maybe she's up to something. And so she was doing a bit of snoop. Snoop Dogg.
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_04] Something's not right. So Delilah wakes up. She's fully in a replica of her set, the living room set. Yes.
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_01] She's made the basement of her parents' house a replica. Oh, my gosh. Of the living room set. That's awesome. Yeah. It is pretty cool. You're right. Right? She did a good job.
[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_04] Ellen did a good job. Yeah. And Ellen is. I will say having a replica.
[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01] Having a replica of your favorite childhood TV show is only weird if you drug the TV star and chain them and put them in that set. I think it's weird regardless.
[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_02] But I do think it's also very impressive.
[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01] You think it's weird to like be that big of a fan and just be like, I'm going to have a place in my room that is.
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_02] We know a pretty big fan of stuff like that, Ryan Popola. Can you imagine him having a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers like the set deck? Yeah. No. Yeah.
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01] No.
[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_04] Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. That room with the big head. That guy with the big head. Did you say he'd be so cool?
[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_01] It'd be super cool.
[00:30:05] His basement is set up.
[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. God, no. It'd be awesome. It's the equivalent of me having a Christmas tree up all year. I'm a big Christmas fan. It is not the equivalent of that. I'm a big Christmas fan and like a Christmas tree.
[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_02] One of those is something you put up every year. The other one is something you do if you want to wear someone's skin. You don't know. That's not the note.
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_01] I think it's only weird if she kidnaps the lead, which she does. Which she does. So it does get a little weird.
[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_04] And from this point on, she only refers to her as Chelsea, the character. And she's, remember when in the show when you did this and you're, you know, like she just keeps referencing plot lines to Delilah. And Delilah's like, I don't remember anything about the show. But she realizes the only way out is through. She's got to commit to the bit and be Chelsea or Ellen is going to kill her. Right?
[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. It's very serious stuff. And she like begins to go a lot like she acknowledges that she is Chelsea. They talk about her boyfriend from the TV show as if it's real. You know, does a little gossip sesh. Gossip sesh. It's very. So she's trying to go along with it just so that Ellen's guard will go down and then maybe she can make a move.
[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. She tries to escape. She's like chained to something like she has like chains on her ankles. And then she tries to escape. It doesn't really go well because the house is booby trapped like Home Alone.
[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01] It is one specific booby trap, which is she gets out of the basement and she runs as fast as she can through the kitchen to the door. And in the kitchen is a like a rope, like a little fishing line to trip her. And then on the floor is just broken glass. Okay. Like as far as no way to get around that.
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01] If you're going to have one singular Home Alone trap, I guess that's a good one because it works and she gets all bloody. But the thing that I thought was funny, Patrick, and I don't know if you picked up on this, but she gets to the back door, right? She crawls through the glass in the most inconvenient way possible. Gets to the door and the door is locked from the outside. But the thing about this door is that there's a big old glass window in the middle of the door.
[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_01] So like while you're already bloodied from the glass, what's some more, right? Like just punch through it and unlock the door, right? Did you think about that at all?
[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_04] No, I don't punch. I don't punch. So I wouldn't go there.
[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_01] That was silly. That was a dumb question. I apologize. That was a dumb question. I'm not trying to say that you would. I'm just saying that if you are already bloodied from glass, what's some more glass on your arm is all I'm saying. You know, right.
[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_04] I get it. I mean, but for me personally, if I was trapped in a Lifetime movie, I wouldn't really be getting out. I'd have to have someone come save me.
[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01] That's just how I thought she was going to try to run through it. Like she literally just like kind of gets up against the wall and is like, and I thought she was going to try.
[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_02] If you got kidnapped by somebody and you showed up and they had set up your normal. If you ever watch on file, file.tv. So CTH your normal setup for deck, the lifetime on court with your old mic that hangs down. And then the posters in the background. If they had a corner of a basement set up like that and they wanted you to sit over there and just talk into the mic all the time. How quickly into that would you be like, all right, whatever. I got to, I just got to freaking do this.
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_04] Oh yeah, I would do it. I'd be like, when is my meal breaks? Like where's the bathroom? Let's just do it. You'd be in immediately. Somebody will find me eventually. It'll be fine.
[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_01] Patrick's just happy that somebody likes his work. He's like, Oh, exactly. I'm like, Oh, you're a fan. Yeah.
[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_04] Great. You're a fan. Wonderful.
[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01] That's right.
[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. There's no mystery moment for me. I'm just going to be like, yeah, I'll break my legs. I'll write your play. Whatever.
[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_01] The thing you need to know about Patrick is he doesn't punch. He doesn't punch. You don't have anything to worry about. He's not going to punch. He just put that out there. He doesn't punch. He doesn't punch.
[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. No. So Ellen handcuffs Delilah for a leaving. And she's like, you're going to have to be better behaved. And maybe you'll get these handcuffs off. And Delilah's like, this, it didn't go well. I should have just played along, which is what she does from now on. We cut to Cody, the guy who was in those foot fungus commercials and needing a role. He is suddenly very concerned about Delilah. The police aren't concerned. He tries to talk to them and they're basically like, get out of here.
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_04] You're a has-been actor and a loser. And we're not really concerned.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_02] You believe this guy trying to take care of his fellow citizen and human being?
[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01] Well, they get in the police's defense here, which I'm not prone to defend, but they do catch him snooping around her house and looking through her windows. All right. There it is. Yeah. He's drunk. Cody. Now, he's doing that because he hasn't heard from her in a long time. It's a bad way to show it. Knocks on the door. No one answers. There's no answer. Yeah. And so that's when they catch him. So he decides, I'm going to do my own investigation. And he knows that his old pal Delilah loves this local coffee shop.
[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_01] So he goes to the coffee shop and Ellen is baristaing. And he's like, hey, do you know this person? She says no. And there's another worker there that is immediately a bit suspicious about what just happened. And why is that, Patrick?
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_04] Well, Ellen was kind of obsessed with him and made a fake relationship in her head about them. And she's like, oh, my boyfriend, my boyfriend. Kind of like me with Marcus Rosner. And then the guy is like, I overheard the conversation. Hey, I just want to let you know that Ellen's a little off. There's something not right about her. And that person that you were talking about, the actress, she comes in here all the time and they're friends.
[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_04] So you should look into Ellen or follow her or whatever, which is what Cody does. Cody follows Ellen home from work. Like it gets to this house.
[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01] He's so bad at following people in a car. Like he couldn't be worse at it. He's like it's nighttime. He's following way too close. And she lives out in like the country. And her driveway is like a road. You know what I'm talking about? Like where a driveway is its own road. It's so long. And he pulls in right behind her, headlights on, just very, very bad at following. Yes. One hundred percent.
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_04] Right. He's only played a detective on TV. He doesn't know how to do it.
[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.
[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_04] And he like looks in the basement window. He sees them like eating hamburgers because Ellen brought hamburgers from work or something. And he's like, oh, I think Delilah and Ellen are just hanging out eating hamburgers. They're cool.
[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02] Just eating burgers.
[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_04] But yeah, Ellen goes away somewhere. And then Delilah's like, help me, help me, get me out of here. And before he can do anything, he gets stuck in the neck with a Dexter pin. Yeah. We should call it a little Dexter.
[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_01] Which you've not seen, but fine. Yeah. Dexter pin. Yeah. She has a lot of whatever the drug is that is immediately knocking people out when given via shot. She has a lot of it. A lot of it. Yeah. Ready to go. Of course you do.
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_04] And then he wakes up. He's handcuffed now. And she is referring to him as his character, Brandon or something. I didn't write it down.
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_02] She's getting the whole gang together.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Cody. Cody. And then it kind of. I don't know. Cody. Is it Cody? Cody is his name. But I think the character name. It doesn't matter. The point is she wants him to act out his character with Chelsea. And then they do like a fanfic thing where they're like, we love each other so much. We're going to get engaged. And she's like, oh my God, I can't believe this is finally happening. Right. I've dreamed of this moment.
[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_02] We are so far removed from let's do some Shakespeare. I can't even tell you how we're going to. I'm so excited because I don't know how we get there from here. I don't know how we get there from here. Aside from acting.
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Yeah. I mean, acting is a big deal. It's a big deal. So they're doing like this whole. Speaking of acting, they are acting like the characters now. Yeah. Cody eventually catches on.
[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_01] And yeah, Cody is confused at first because Delilah is still going full. I'm Chelsea bit basically. And he finally partly because she's like, I love you. And I always thought we would end up together. He's just kind of like, oh, OK, well, I guess I'll go along with that because that's nice. And she eventually like walks out of the room. And that's when she's like, we got to go along with this and just like give her what she wants. Get along.
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_01] And so like they he proposes to her and they kiss. And he is then taken from full double handcuff situation to single handcuff situation. So trust is. Yeah. Start to be earned there. Exactly right.
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_04] Right. So Ellen runs out to get a notepad to write all this down for the producer.
[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, this is good stuff.
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. So Delilah grabs a bat and Cody's like, what are you doing? And she's like, you cheated on me. You're a jerk. I hate you. Starts a big fight.
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, right. Right. Because Ellen brought down a bat and she was about to hit Cody. And that's when Delilah went into the whole like I loved you thing. She puts down the bats. And then when she comes back, Delilah grabs the bat and is acting like she's about to hit Cody. Like you cheated on me. Does this whole thing. And when she goes to swing it at Cody, swings full 360, hits Ellen in the head. Oh, no. That's full 360.
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Which is how I would swing a bat. And she, you know, just all the way around like a little tornado. That's what they call you.
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_01] They run out. Here comes a little tornado. Yeah.
[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_04] They run out. They avoid the booby trap this time because Delilah remembered. Fool me once. Yeah. Yeah. They're running down the driveway to get more cell service. It's broad daylight, the middle of the day. And Cody's like, oh, I'll get good cell service. You know, like I had when your car got vandalized or he somehow brings up the car.
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_01] I don't remember why it happened, but it brings it was very random. He brings up the fact that her tires were slashed, which is something that she did not tell him. So she's like, how do you know that my tiles tires were slashed? And he's like, oh, the police must have told me.
[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_02] The police give out that information.
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_01] But she's a bit suspicious that it maybe wasn't a crazed fan that was throwing stuff through her window and slashing her tires. But it was him trying to force her in to taking the gig. I didn't see it coming. I didn't see it coming either.
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_04] Man. No. And also, don't forget they're running away from Ellen, who is chasing them at this point with a gun now.
[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_01] I will say really quickly, one thing that we left out was Delilah's talking to Ellen and somehow it comes up about the rock being thrown through the window and the tires being slashed. And Ellen's like, I would never do that to you. Never. And so, you know, they plant the seed there that it wasn't like you assume that Ellen did everything.
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_02] At that point, then you would know that it's got to be Cody.
[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01] But she's also like Ellen's kind of like crazy. Who knows if she's telling the truth? Yeah, basically. All right.
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_02] Weird line to draw.
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_01] I thought that it was her mom. I thought that if somebody else had done it. OK.
[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_02] So they give you a viable other candidate.
[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.
[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_04] It did. It seemed like the mom did it. And that was legit. I forgot about the whole vandalizing thing. So when it came back, I was like, oh, wow. OK, great. But Cody can't even like explain himself. He gets run over by a car. The car suddenly is working again. Ellen like hits him with the car. And then she the car like flips into a ditch. She comes out full throttle with with a gun. And this is when we get our gun moments in a lifetime movie. Usually we don't see them go off. But this one went off. Oh, yeah, we did. Some CGI sparks.
[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, it's CGI is being kind.
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_02] Brandon, show me this. Yes, I show a clip. And it is an absolute marvel that this made it to a screen anywhere.
[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_01] I'll try to remember to post it to like our stories or something.
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02] We could have made that at this studio in under three minutes.
[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_01] It is like a clip art little fire.
[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_02] It's crazy from the gun. It's an Acme gun Wile E. Coyote would use.
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01] Just do the sound. Like if you do the bang sound, we'll know it's gunshot. You don't CGI smoke out there. Even that. You don't have to do the little fire.
[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, we don't need to see it. And Lifetime has moved away from guns. So I think this is just more reason to like let's just do knives and fire pokers.
[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. You know? Yeah, knives and fire pokers. We could get mad at that, you know?
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_04] Right. So Ellen is eventually talked down. She's like, I'm so sorry that I did all this. Like I'm just your biggest fan or whatever. And Delilah's like talking to her. It's okay. It's okay. Um, and the police show up and we fade. Right? Yeah. I don't really know.
[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_01] Let's do some Shakespeare. Well, hold on. I was a little bit confused as to how the police show up. Patrick, because he like when they're running, when they're running away, he's like, let me call the police. They don't have cell signal yet. And we never see him being like, we need the police. I don't really know how they show up, but they do.
[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_04] And so they show up pretty quickly. Good timing. Um, and Ellen admits, um, that her parents aren't actually, um, on a vacation. She killed them. Yeah. She killed them and, uh, you know, did the whole house thing. And yeah. Wow. So it's not great for Ellen. Not great for Ellen. That's the last we see.
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_02] She would never throw a rock through a window, but she did kill her parents.
[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. What happens? What happens to Ellen? You know, what's her jail time? All that stuff. We don't know. We don't know. Forever? We don't know. The last we see, she's on the ground. And that's the, that's all you have to know about her. We gotta get to Shakespeare. We gotta get to Shakespeare.
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. We cut to five weeks later. Delilah is, um, at her high school, we assume. And her mother is there and she's like, thanks mom for coming. This means a lot to me. Uh, the kids are so happy that you're here and I'm happy you're here. And let's work on our relationship. And then she walks to the front of the stage and we get our iconic line. And, and that is the movie.
[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_02] We don't, is she there to play? She's a teacher. Oh, she's now teaching high school. She's at her alma mater. Yes. Okay.
[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_01] Let's do some Shakespeare role credits. That is why. Yeah. But she's there. Her, her mom shows up to see the kids perform. I don't really, I don't know what she means when she says, who's ready to like, let's do some Shakespeare. Uh, but yeah, she does.
[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_04] I would assume they're doing monologues.
[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_01] Maybe it's like, yeah, let's do some Shakespeare. Let's go. And that's worthy of applause. Listen, sometimes your teacher's mom shows up and sits in the crowd while you do your monologue. And that's fine. That's normal. They're working on their relationship. That's right. And that's good. Yeah. We love that. She's also like really chill about her mom showing up. She's like, oh, hey mom. And her mom's like, I want to work on our relationship. She's like, great. But like, I don't think you earned that. I don't think you put it in the work.
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_04] She definitely didn't. After the altercation with the car and like, you know, the whole childhood stage mom.
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_01] That whole like argument where her mom's basically like, I did like, her mom had never throughout the movie, uh, ever took time to realize that what she did was wrong and the way that she pushed her child. And she says it multiple times. Like I did, I was doing this for your own good. So I don't know what happens in the five weeks between the gunshot boom and mom showing up to see Shakespeare woo. Uh, but something must happen because they're very, you know, there are some group therapy some group there. She's so chill about it.
[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_01] So there you go.
[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. So on the show, we either poured up, which means we would recommend yay or, uh, put a cork in it. We would not recommend, uh, we'll start with Dan since you did not see the movie, um, based on, uh, your imagination. What do you, uh, what are you going to do to this movie?
[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_02] Guys, I gotta be honest. This sounds like a great time. I don't know what to tell you. This movie sounds like it's ridiculous. It sounds like it makes very little narrative sense in moments that knowing the gunshot scene does aid me here in knowing that this is probably my kind of crazy, the type of movie that I would enjoy, even though it's very, very bad. I think I'm here for it. I think I'm here for this movie and I think I wish I'd watched it, which I don't say regularly
[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_02] here on deck, the lifetime of court, but I do say it today, pouring it all the way up.
[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_04] Brand. Oh, brand. What are you thinking?
[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01] Listen, I'm, I'm in a very, uh, good mood because I get to watch a lifetime of it, which I only get to do about once a month. And, um, so I'm already like going into it hopeful knowing that this is the one, this is my one, um, listen for as bad as the gunshot was, this movie is good. It is a ton of fun. And I thought that the, I thought the actor playing Delilah was really great. And I thought that the actor playing Ellen, like I, I told, like, I thought that she did
[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_01] a really good job of doing the thing early on where she acts like she doesn't know that she is Chelsea. Like for a second, I was like, I'm not totally sure. I think that she's going to be the big fan, but she's doing a really good job. And then she did a good job playing crazy. And so what more can he ask for, uh, in this type of movie? And then the twist at the end where it was, it was Cody that did the actual vandalism across the board.
[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_01] Really good time. One, one of my favorites that I've seen for this year program. I had a lot of fun. Is it three for three, Patrick?
[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. So, um, just one note about, uh, the actress playing, uh, the Beverly Mitchell knockoff, uh, Lauren Cole had real tears coming out of her eyes. Like you could see them come like dripping from her eyes. So that's some real good acting there. Um, and it is hard to play a crazy character without going like over the top. Um, so I thought that was cool. I liked that the movie worked on like so many different levels, like of like we're commenting on Hollywood. Um, but not in like a cheesy lifetime way, like on an instant. Insider way.
[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_04] Cause I think, uh, Haley Duff has a lot of insider, like, you know, knowledge and experience. So it was interesting in that way. And then just interesting in like a lifetime way. Um, and yeah, the actors were all super solid. Uh, I loved that. And I had a thought, but I forgot what it was. Um, but that's fine. We'll just, we'll just say it's poured up. Oh, I remembered. I remembered. I remembered.
[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_04] So we were going to, um, the, the, the fans of this show, um, were like, you got to do Honey Boo Boo. You got to do Honey Boo Boo. I'm glad that we actually switch it up because I think Honey Boo Boo is going to be a flat movie. And this movie, uh, was definitely worth, uh, worth a candy.
[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_01] Honey Boo Boo is getting, it's a movie about Honey Boo Boo. Really?
[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah.
[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_01] But it comes out later this month.
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_04] Honey Boo Boo is, is, is getting movie with Honey Boo Boo involved. Honey Boo Boo is involved in the, how many times can we say it?
[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_01] I'm not saying that we're not going to do Honey Boo Boo, but I'll let you.
[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_04] That we never would.
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_01] Be the deciding factor. Like if we do one early next month, does it make sense? Maybe we'll be Honey Boo Boo.
[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_04] That's next month. That's April. April showers bring May flowers. Oh wait, no. So today is actually May. Today is May 5th.
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_02] We're recording. So it's May now.
[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, we already did April.
[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_02] So it would be June. May shower, May flowers bring June. I don't know. I don't think we can do Honey Boo Boo. I love it, Patrick Spine.
[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_04] Next month is April. Yep. Next month is April. I'm all over the place.
[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_01] We're halfway to halfway to Christmas. I'm not opposed to doing another and doing Honey Boo Boo though. Because there's a big.
[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_04] Let's see what's on the docket for June. We'll see. We'll see. It's my birthday month. We have to do something. That's true.
[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_01] Your birthday month. That's true. Maybe for your birthday month, we should have you every week.
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_02] We've set a really weird precedent with all of our co-hosts getting to choose stuff on their birthday. It started with Alonzo who chooses a movie and now it's Pat. Like, does every co-host now get to choose something for us to do on Deck the Hallmark on their birthday?
[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_01] We're big birthday people. We're big birthday people.
[00:50:51] I don't know.
[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. We love birthdays. Well, this was a lot of fun. Lifetimeandcourt.com for all of Patrick's thorough journalism on the subject of Lifetime movies. Yep.
