Deck the Lifetime Uncorked - It's a Wonderful Lifetime Preview: Part 2 (2024) ft. Patrick Serrano

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Bran and I love Lifetime Christmas movies. I'm Patrick Serrano and I am a Lifetime Movie Expert. I'm Dan and this is the last preview episode of 2024 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. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hello everybody.

[00:00:37] We're back. Yeah, we are. Much like the Hunger Games Mockingjay, we're split into two episodes and we all know why. It's very important. Suspense. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Suspense. It's great to be back. It's great to be previewing some more Lifetime Christmas movies that get started tonight. Is it the 16th already? I think it is the 16th already. Sometimes we're confused on our

[00:01:07] dates. I know for most people. Yes. How about that? First movie airs tonight. We're very excited. Look at that. Christmas at Plum Hill Manor premieres tonight and we're going to be reviewing it next week. So watch it. Will you? Watch it. It's going to be a lot of fun. Patrick, how are you? What's new? What's new in your world? Doing great. You know, getting over a cold. It's cold season around here. Cold season. I don't know how you guys are doing with your children, but I'm around like 500 of them.

[00:01:37] It's been frozen. It's been so hot, but it's going to get cold and my kids always get a cold when it gets cold outside. And so, you know, we'll cross that bridge, I'm sure. But 500 kids, that's a different world there, Patrick. So God bless you. A week, a week. You know, it's like 100 at a time. Oh, just 100 at a time. 100 at a time. So that's honestly, now you have no excuse. That's right.

[00:02:00] What has Lifetime been doing so far this month? Not Christmas-y. Have they had some premieres? Have they been any good?

[00:02:09] I'm glad you asked. It's Hateful and Grateful season. Hateful and Grateful.

[00:02:15] So, you know, they do the families like gone wrong type of thing in this era.

[00:02:20] What does that mean? They do the families that has gone wrong. What does it mean?

[00:02:24] Right. So, like, I gave my baby up for adoption. The new family moves to town and unbeknownst to me, it is the person who had my baby, who had my, who, wait, no.

[00:02:40] I'm the one who gave it up. I moved to the town.

[00:02:42] I was about to say, that person couldn't have had your baby.

[00:02:45] Yeah. I gave my baby up for adoption. I moved next door to the biological or the adopted parents. And then I, you know, it gets really confusing.

[00:02:56] Clearly.

[00:02:56] You know what I'm trying to say.

[00:02:56] So is that, was that the plot for Who's Stalking My Family?

[00:03:02] That was Who's Stalking My Family? The answer is the lady who put her baby up for adoption that was trying to, you know, get the baby.

[00:03:10] How about that?

[00:03:10] It's confusing.

[00:03:11] Who's Stalking My Family or Five Gold Rings on the Hallmark Channel?

[00:03:17] Who's Stalking My Family or Five Gold Rings?

[00:03:19] I've not seen it.

[00:03:20] I have to pick one.

[00:03:22] Yeah. Which one do you want?

[00:03:24] Oh, this is tough, you know, because Five Gold Rings had five gold rings in it.

[00:03:28] Right.

[00:03:29] But it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

[00:03:32] And Who's Stalking My Family, I can't even describe in like a sentence.

[00:03:36] So I'm going to have to say Who's Stalking My Family edges it out.

[00:03:41] Yeah.

[00:03:42] Was Who's Stalking My Family the last non-Christmas movie of the season over on Lifetime?

[00:03:48] I think there was one more, right from the headlines, like one.

[00:03:53] But yeah, you know, they do them on LMN all throughout the season.

[00:03:58] So there'll still be murdery things happening.

[00:04:01] That's right.

[00:04:01] I've been enjoying Patrick keeping up with the spreadsheet, as I said last time in the movie draft.

[00:04:05] And you did really give a rating to Five Gold Rings.

[00:04:10] Holy moly.

[00:04:12] Oh, boy.

[00:04:13] It was tough for me.

[00:04:15] Yeah.

[00:04:15] The scavenger hunt one.

[00:04:16] Yeah.

[00:04:17] It's a classic.

[00:04:18] But I've seen, I've not seen your rating yet.

[00:04:20] You put My Sweet Austrian Holiday as a one.

[00:04:24] And you were probably like, it can't be worse than that.

[00:04:26] Yeah.

[00:04:26] So you had to go .9.

[00:04:27] I got to be honest.

[00:04:28] After seeing Sweet Austrian Holiday, I was like, there can't be a worse movie.

[00:04:32] And I think I've seen two that might be worse.

[00:04:34] Well, let's do this live.

[00:04:36] Let's update the spreadsheet live here.

[00:04:38] The only one from this past week that you haven't done is Tis the Season to be Irish.

[00:04:41] I now know that that review is live on Lifetime on Corks.

[00:04:45] I posted it today.

[00:04:46] So what are you giving that one?

[00:04:47] Because I gave it worse than Sweet Austrian Holiday and Five Gold Rings.

[00:04:52] You did?

[00:04:53] Yeah.

[00:04:54] Oh, man.

[00:04:55] I mean, they're all in the 1.89, 2.1.

[00:04:58] You know, they're all terrible.

[00:05:00] Yeah.

[00:05:00] Right.

[00:05:01] You know, that one I've really had high hopes for.

[00:05:05] But I'm probably just going to go a five.

[00:05:09] Let's do a five.

[00:05:10] What?

[00:05:10] Wow.

[00:05:11] One for every ring of five gold rings.

[00:05:14] Five gold rings, five Irish.

[00:05:16] Now I'm just starting to believe Patrick's rating system is completely arbitrary.

[00:05:20] A five for that movie.

[00:05:22] That's unbelievable.

[00:05:24] I haven't thought about it.

[00:05:25] This is live on the air.

[00:05:26] I didn't look at my other ones that I have done.

[00:05:28] You have it better than our.

[00:05:31] No, that can't be right.

[00:05:33] That can't be right.

[00:05:34] Better than Tamara?

[00:05:36] You have it better than our holiday story with Nikki Deloach and Warren Christie?

[00:05:40] The Irish movie?

[00:05:42] No.

[00:05:46] He'll fix it.

[00:05:47] He'll fix it.

[00:05:48] Let's not do it live.

[00:05:48] Yeah.

[00:05:49] Let me look at my other ratings and then I'll calibrate.

[00:05:53] But early leader in the clubhouse for you is Santa Tommy as your new favorite movie of the year.

[00:05:58] That's easily the best of the year.

[00:05:59] Oh, absolutely.

[00:06:01] So many hunks.

[00:06:02] So many hunks.

[00:06:03] A shirtless hunk.

[00:06:04] How mad were you, though, that Chris Russell didn't get shirtless?

[00:06:08] I've seen it.

[00:06:09] I know you've seen it, but still, they set it up.

[00:06:12] They spilled coffee all over him.

[00:06:17] They sure did.

[00:06:19] And, you know, I bet he was like, Patrick Serrano is out there and I can't give him this.

[00:06:24] I just can't give him this.

[00:06:25] I've heard the thing that Patrick has said about me and I can't.

[00:06:29] Not for this money.

[00:06:30] Yeah, he's like, he's going to have to, like, join my OnlyFans where I just post shirtless pics.

[00:06:34] And I have.

[00:06:36] I have.

[00:06:36] He has an OnlyFans?

[00:06:38] No, I'm just saying if he did.

[00:06:40] If he did.

[00:06:41] I was like, wait a second.

[00:06:41] There's a Hallmark hung with an OnlyFans?

[00:06:43] If I did.

[00:06:44] If I did kill him.

[00:06:46] There is a Hallmark hung with an OnlyFans and I'm not going to tell you who.

[00:06:50] Yeah.

[00:06:50] Are you really not going to tell us who?

[00:06:52] Or are you just going to tell us off the air?

[00:06:53] It's not a, is it a secret?

[00:06:55] It's off air.

[00:06:56] It's off air.

[00:06:57] Okay.

[00:06:57] Off air.

[00:06:58] I don't know.

[00:06:58] I don't know.

[00:06:59] Yeah.

[00:07:00] Good to know.

[00:07:00] It's a secret OnlyFans?

[00:07:03] It's like a, you know how you have a Finsta?

[00:07:06] I've heard about Finsta from the kids.

[00:07:08] Yeah.

[00:07:08] Yeah.

[00:07:09] It's like that.

[00:07:10] Okay.

[00:07:11] Aaron, you cannot be Googling Hallmark OnlyFans.

[00:07:14] It's going to get in the algorithm.

[00:07:15] Aaron.

[00:07:16] Aaron.

[00:07:16] It's not your home computer for the love of God.

[00:07:21] What are you doing?

[00:07:22] Joe Wagner popped up.

[00:07:24] Oh my God.

[00:07:25] Uh-oh.

[00:07:26] All right, Joe.

[00:07:27] Listen.

[00:07:28] Sheesh.

[00:07:28] Whatever works for you.

[00:07:30] Whatever works.

[00:07:30] And just to be clear, you can post whatever you want on your OnlyFans.

[00:07:33] It doesn't have to be naked pictures.

[00:07:35] Right.

[00:07:35] Of course.

[00:07:35] Pictures of your eyebrows.

[00:07:38] You have a vinyl OnlyFans, right?

[00:07:40] I have a vinyl OnlyFans.

[00:07:41] It's just me posting pictures of vinyl records.

[00:07:44] The ones that I think are really nice.

[00:07:46] Not getting a lot of traction, but it'll get there.

[00:07:49] It's getting some.

[00:07:50] It's getting some.

[00:07:51] Yeah.

[00:07:52] It's getting shush.

[00:07:54] Aaron over here.

[00:07:54] I don't want it on my personal computer.

[00:07:58] Yeah.

[00:07:59] That's fair.

[00:07:59] That's fair.

[00:07:59] Yeah.

[00:08:00] Let's mess up the studio computer.

[00:08:02] Let's mess up the office computer.

[00:08:03] Okay.

[00:08:03] All right.

[00:08:05] Last week, we previewed a handful of movies.

[00:08:09] The last one that we previewed was Make or Bake Christmas, otherwise known as the wrong

[00:08:14] Christmas movie title.

[00:08:16] So we've got a few more to do.

[00:08:17] So, Patrick, take it away.

[00:08:20] Okay.

[00:08:21] Well, we are jumping right in with the hottest ticket in town, a very merry beauty salon, which

[00:08:27] guys, I don't know if we've seen a beauty salon before at Christmas.

[00:08:31] Much less a merry one, you know?

[00:08:33] The hottest ticket in town.

[00:08:34] Where'd that come from?

[00:08:36] Well, it stars Tia Mowry, who we all know and love, and then a bunch of other people

[00:08:41] who I'm not going to read.

[00:08:42] Yeah.

[00:08:43] The description goes as follows.

[00:08:44] Donna Biscoe is just pissed right now.

[00:08:48] Yeah.

[00:08:48] What about Ron Rico Lee?

[00:08:49] Or Coco Brand?

[00:08:51] Look, you guys.

[00:08:52] These are all delicious recipes, but I am not reading them.

[00:08:55] Okay.

[00:08:56] Dude, I made a Ron Rico Lee last weekend.

[00:08:59] Oh.

[00:08:59] Oh.

[00:09:00] Ah.

[00:09:01] Sublime.

[00:09:01] Mamma mia.

[00:09:02] That's right.

[00:09:02] Yeah.

[00:09:03] It's an Italian dish, guys.

[00:09:06] Tia Mowry plays the owner of a bustling, divine beauty salon, and she is preparing for Atlanta's

[00:09:13] Tinsel Ball, where she will be honored for her charitable work in the community.

[00:09:18] The annual event takes a glamorous turn with the arrival of Lawrence, a charismatic CEO whose

[00:09:26] family's wine brand is now co-sponsoring the ball.

[00:09:30] Sparks fly between them, but Sienna's mother, Georgia, who is in the head of the ball's committee,

[00:09:38] worries.

[00:09:38] She's in the head of the ball's committee?

[00:09:42] She's in their head.

[00:09:43] Haunting.

[00:09:43] Haunting the ball's committee.

[00:09:45] The ball's committee is like, we can't do this.

[00:09:47] Donna Biscoe's in her head.

[00:09:49] She is the head of the ball's committee.

[00:09:51] She worries about his involvement.

[00:09:53] It may ruin the event's traditions.

[00:09:55] As Sienna and Lawrence are unexpectedly paired as dance partners, romance blooms, setting the

[00:10:02] stage for a steamy romance that changes Sienna's thoughts about love and family and makes

[00:10:08] this Christmas Tinsel Ball the most memorable yet.

[00:10:11] Wow.

[00:10:12] Yep.

[00:10:13] There's a lot happening here.

[00:10:14] It's the hottest ticket in town.

[00:10:15] It's the hottest ticket in town.

[00:10:16] I don't understand that yet.

[00:10:18] It's the hottest.

[00:10:18] Is the movie the hottest ticket in town?

[00:10:20] There's the salon.

[00:10:21] The Tinsel Ball.

[00:10:22] The Tinsel Ball is the hottest ticket in town.

[00:10:24] A lot like Pentatonix in New York City.

[00:10:26] You remember that?

[00:10:27] It's huge.

[00:10:27] Oh my gosh.

[00:10:28] You guys, that was crazy, right?

[00:10:30] How ridiculous is that movie?

[00:10:32] Oh, I was like throwing computers all over my house.

[00:10:36] We love it though.

[00:10:36] It's like Frisbee and laptops.

[00:10:39] $4,000 for a Pentatonix ticket.

[00:10:41] You loved it though, right?

[00:10:43] Who didn't love that movie?

[00:10:44] Did you not love that movie?

[00:10:45] Are you kidding?

[00:10:46] I love that movie.

[00:10:46] No.

[00:10:47] Ain't that movie.

[00:10:48] Wow.

[00:10:48] No, it's a movie that I think once it wins you over, once you just decide it's all,

[00:10:54] none of it makes sense, it becomes a fun time.

[00:10:57] That is my take on that movie is after the first 40 minutes, as soon as you realize that

[00:11:01] they're going to have Christina Milian not know dance steps.

[00:11:04] Only two glasses of wine of enjoyment level, Patrick.

[00:11:08] Yeah.

[00:11:09] Christina Milian deserves better than that.

[00:11:11] But she's the pop star.

[00:11:13] She should be selling out the stadiums.

[00:11:15] I would major to say that her ticket, like I looked it up for the podcast episode, floor

[00:11:21] seats of Pentatonix at Madison Square Garden are $130.

[00:11:24] So like I get like, yeah, I dip it low.

[00:11:28] It is the most ridiculous movie we've watched so far this season.

[00:11:32] But after you just get over the fact that none of it makes any sense and the Pentatonix

[00:11:36] are kind of the worst, it becomes a, I was fine with it at that point.

[00:11:40] It became a fun time.

[00:11:40] So, but Jax, your girl Jax adores it.

[00:11:44] She'll fight you.

[00:11:45] She will.

[00:11:45] She will fight you.

[00:11:46] She said, I will fight you if you don't like this movie.

[00:11:48] She said that on the podcast.

[00:11:49] So.

[00:11:50] All right.

[00:11:51] Let's set up the boxing mat.

[00:11:52] I can't wait.

[00:11:53] Honestly, would that be the hottest ticket in town?

[00:11:56] Hottest ticket in town.

[00:11:57] No question.

[00:11:57] We'll do that next year at Bramble Fest.

[00:11:59] Move over Very Merry Beauty's line.

[00:12:02] What are your thoughts, Dan?

[00:12:03] Are you going to pour it up or put a cork in it?

[00:12:04] Right on in it.

[00:12:06] Tia Mowry, in my opinion, is the lesser of the two Mowries.

[00:12:08] Wow.

[00:12:09] You're going to make her cry too?

[00:12:10] Two for two Mowries?

[00:12:11] I had several bad experiences with Donna Biscoe.

[00:12:14] I'm just kidding.

[00:12:17] I don't know.

[00:12:19] I don't know any of the others.

[00:12:20] This does not sound fun to me at all.

[00:12:23] I don't believe for a second that the romance will be steamy, as this says on the page.

[00:12:29] Yeah.

[00:12:30] Put a cork in it.

[00:12:31] I'm concerned.

[00:12:32] I'm concerned because, listen, yes, Chef Christmas from last year.

[00:12:39] Disappointed.

[00:12:41] Disappointed, and I'm concerned that this will be more of the same.

[00:12:46] But I will put some respect on Sister Sister's name.

[00:12:51] And I will all do a hesitant pour it up.

[00:12:55] You're not going to pour.

[00:12:56] I'm not going to pour a large glass.

[00:12:58] I don't want to waste it.

[00:12:59] No.

[00:13:00] But I will pour it up.

[00:13:02] It's a respect pour, to be honest with you.

[00:13:04] It's a respect pour.

[00:13:05] But, yeah, not only did Yes, Chef Christmas scare me a little bit last year into doing a full-blown pour, it's also just this plot I'm not sure about.

[00:13:15] You remember a lot about your ranking of Yes, Chef Christmas last year.

[00:13:19] I remember where I was when I watched it.

[00:13:21] It was a seminal moment in your life.

[00:13:22] I don't watch the Lifetime movies in the office because of you.

[00:13:26] You don't watch the movies.

[00:13:27] I watched it on the plane coming back from not ChristmasCon because we didn't get to go to ChristmasCon.

[00:13:34] SantaCon.

[00:13:35] SantaCon is what we did last year.

[00:13:37] So I was on the plane and I watched it and I was like, oh, man, I wish I was watching something else.

[00:13:43] If it doesn't meet a plane movie standard, that's pretty bad.

[00:13:47] Yeah.

[00:13:47] That's pretty bad.

[00:13:48] Patrick, what are you thinking about this one?

[00:13:51] So I don't know if you guys remember a few months ago when Tia and Tamera weren't that close.

[00:13:56] Yeah.

[00:13:57] And it broke the Internet.

[00:13:58] Yes.

[00:13:59] I remember when it came out.

[00:14:00] It broke a very small segment of the Internet, yes.

[00:14:02] I have a sneaky feeling that it was probably blown out of proportion.

[00:14:07] Wow.

[00:14:08] Well, yeah, you're right.

[00:14:10] It was.

[00:14:11] Tia meant proximity close.

[00:14:14] What?

[00:14:15] Like she lives in Palm Springs and Tamera lives in Temecula.

[00:14:21] What?

[00:14:22] You know what I'm saying?

[00:14:22] You meant by proximity.

[00:14:23] It was taken out of context.

[00:14:25] Oh, my gosh.

[00:14:26] This is why you can't trust everything that you see on social media.

[00:14:30] And I know that we've been saying it a long time, but this is proof right here.

[00:14:33] Yeah.

[00:14:34] This is proof.

[00:14:35] And, you know, everybody was upset about Tia and Tamera not being close anymore as sisters.

[00:14:41] I'm here to say they are not proximity close.

[00:14:44] They don't live near each other.

[00:14:46] Okay?

[00:14:47] That's what we need to remember.

[00:14:48] That's important.

[00:14:48] So with that in mind, I'm going to have to, unfortunately, put a quirk in this movie because I really thought that synopsis was super dumb and boring.

[00:15:00] Yeah.

[00:15:01] Yeah.

[00:15:01] Same.

[00:15:01] I had never read it before.

[00:15:03] I'll be honest, guys.

[00:15:04] I haven't read any of these synopsis.

[00:15:06] These are all live readings, live tapings.

[00:15:07] What?

[00:15:09] Going in cold.

[00:15:10] I wouldn't be surprised.

[00:15:12] And I just wasn't feeling it.

[00:15:15] No.

[00:15:16] Tinselball?

[00:15:17] No.

[00:15:17] There you go.

[00:15:18] I just, going really quickly, I clicked on the article that you linked on lifetime on court.com.

[00:15:23] The quote is, she's talking about her divorce, and she says, this is the quote,

[00:15:28] It's times like this that I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close, and I could pick up the phone and call her.

[00:15:40] What in the world?

[00:15:41] Then she puts out a, she says in an article published a couple weeks after that, that she was referring to physical distance.

[00:15:48] That's what the phone's for.

[00:15:50] Yeah, I think I'm actually now back on board with that they're not close, and she's trying to cover.

[00:15:57] That's where I am now.

[00:15:58] She is like, what if I talk about proximity?

[00:16:01] I love my sister very much.

[00:16:02] She loves me.

[00:16:02] We have a closeness and a beautiful connection, but that's what it was all about.

[00:16:07] It's just how life unfolds and happens.

[00:16:09] I just.

[00:16:10] I wish I was still close to my sister so I could pick up the phone.

[00:16:12] Now, she lives 100 miles away.

[00:16:14] I can't pick up the phone.

[00:16:16] The phone doesn't reach.

[00:16:17] It can't.

[00:16:18] No.

[00:16:18] I mean, I think if I was to be Tamara's publicist, she meant a landline, you know, where you pick it up.

[00:16:28] You can't do that anymore.

[00:16:29] You can't do that with a cell phone.

[00:16:31] You got to press the button.

[00:16:31] She wants to pick up the phone off the hook.

[00:16:36] Physical pick up.

[00:16:37] Off the hook.

[00:16:39] Aaron, what are your thoughts on this one?

[00:16:41] Are you pouring it up?

[00:16:41] You're pouring it up.

[00:16:42] And do you think that they're still close?

[00:16:45] I am pouring this movie up.

[00:16:47] Wow.

[00:16:48] Wow.

[00:16:49] According to LifetimeOnCork.com, the male lead in this movie was also from Sister Sister.

[00:16:56] Really?

[00:16:57] And so, well, that's what Patrick said, and I trust Patrick with my life.

[00:17:01] It's true.

[00:17:02] So, yeah.

[00:17:03] Yeah.

[00:17:03] So, I'm excited to kind of see what that chemistry looks like now.

[00:17:06] I am curious to see what Lifetime Christmas movies take on a steamy romance is.

[00:17:12] Like, are we going to get two kisses?

[00:17:16] And it sounds like we're going to maybe plant a ball.

[00:17:19] So, and I'm excited because it's tinsel, and that means I can play the tinsel card in Christmas

[00:17:24] Movie Magic.

[00:17:25] A card game that's sweeping the nation.

[00:17:27] A card game that's sweeping the nation.

[00:17:28] And that's really, as we're reading the synopsis, I was just counting how many cards I might be able

[00:17:32] to play.

[00:17:33] Yeah.

[00:17:33] And was excited for that.

[00:17:34] You're not addicted.

[00:17:34] You don't have a problem.

[00:17:35] I don't have a problem.

[00:17:36] You're going to stop whenever you want.

[00:17:37] I'm fine.

[00:17:37] I can stop at any point.

[00:17:38] That's right.

[00:17:39] DeckTheHallmark.com.

[00:17:40] Tinsel's got to be worth five points, right?

[00:17:43] It's got to be five points.

[00:17:44] We'll bring it to the table.

[00:17:45] Yeah, for sure.

[00:17:46] I think all that's up for grabs.

[00:17:47] But only if people buy.

[00:17:49] If people don't buy it, we won't have a second version.

[00:17:51] We'll see if anybody goes.

[00:17:53] But yeah, there's lots of talk about the steamy Christmas movie that's coming out later in

[00:17:58] the season, which we'll talk about.

[00:18:00] Oh, we'll get there.

[00:18:01] We'll get there.

[00:18:01] This is a fool me once situation with Lifetime because they were like, we're having, remember

[00:18:07] last season and the whole hubbub about the Schmeck scene?

[00:18:10] And then it was like nothing.

[00:18:13] And then it was like, hey, we're on a hay bale.

[00:18:20] And then let's take this over there.

[00:18:22] And then it kind of fade to black.

[00:18:24] Yeah.

[00:18:25] And wake up with their shirts off.

[00:18:27] Which was not what was promoted.

[00:18:30] Similar to T and Tamara not being close.

[00:18:34] So it's impressive that we've gone 20 minutes and gotten through one movie.

[00:18:40] Don't worry, Dan.

[00:18:41] Here we go.

[00:18:41] Because the next movie, we're going to the next movie.

[00:18:44] It's called How to Fall in Love by Christmas.

[00:18:47] We're skipping that movie.

[00:18:47] We're skipping it.

[00:18:48] Oh, yeah.

[00:18:49] It's a skip.

[00:18:50] We already were.

[00:18:50] You can listen to a Deck the Hallmark episode on that movie.

[00:18:53] Spoiler alert.

[00:18:54] It sucks.

[00:18:56] Put a cork in it.

[00:18:57] Yeah.

[00:18:57] It's a Terry Hatcher movie that came out last year on Roku.

[00:19:01] Already reviewed.

[00:19:02] Already.

[00:19:04] Lifetime just said nobody will notice, right?

[00:19:06] Nobody will notice.

[00:19:06] No one saw the Roku movie, right?

[00:19:09] Yeah.

[00:19:10] Probably not.

[00:19:10] So somebody coming, just coming home and watching this movie is going to have a great time being

[00:19:15] like, I love Terry Hatcher.

[00:19:17] And that's good for them.

[00:19:18] Good for them.

[00:19:19] We're not.

[00:19:20] That's right.

[00:19:20] But not for us.

[00:19:20] We're not wasting our breath on this, okay?

[00:19:23] Yeah.

[00:19:23] We have got to move on.

[00:19:26] So I think, Brand, you read the next.

[00:19:30] Yeah.

[00:19:30] So that brings us to The Holiday Junkie.

[00:19:33] It's a really indie, gritty, on the streets.

[00:19:35] That's right.

[00:19:35] On the streets.

[00:19:36] Holiday Junkie.

[00:19:38] December 14th.

[00:19:39] The picture kind of looks like that.

[00:19:41] It does.

[00:19:41] The picture does look like it could be.

[00:19:42] You can see the darkness in Jennifer Love Hewitt's eyes.

[00:19:45] That's right, folks.

[00:19:46] Jennifer Love Hewitt is in this one.

[00:19:50] And alongside Brian Hollisay.

[00:19:54] Hollisay.

[00:19:58] The Holiday Junkie follows the decorating and planning service company run by Andy and her mother, Mimi.

[00:20:06] After Mimi passes away, oh no.

[00:20:09] Andy is forced to face her first Christmas without her mother and carry the Holiday Junkie torch on her own.

[00:20:16] Despite the challenges, Andy may also find some love, Jennifer Love if you will, at Christmas along the way with the handsome house manager, Mason, who has his own holiday secrets.

[00:20:31] Oh my gosh.

[00:20:32] This might be dark.

[00:20:33] His secrets is he loves to smack.

[00:20:34] He loves to smack.

[00:20:35] Yeah.

[00:20:35] All right.

[00:20:36] That's the Holiday Junkie, Saturday, December 14th.

[00:20:39] Dan?

[00:20:40] Yeah.

[00:20:40] I mean, who among us hasn't seen I Know What You Did Last Summer?

[00:20:45] I actually hadn't until last month.

[00:20:47] I had an immediate crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt.

[00:20:49] What?

[00:20:49] Have you really not seen it?

[00:20:49] I watched it for the first time leading up to Halloween.

[00:20:53] Yeah.

[00:20:53] I had never seen it before.

[00:20:54] Were you scared?

[00:20:54] I wasn't scared at all.

[00:20:56] No, I wasn't scared.

[00:20:56] What about when the guy comes out and he grabs her crown and she's like, my crown, my crown.

[00:21:03] Yeah.

[00:21:04] I remember this.

[00:21:06] I honestly, I think I would prefer to watch you reenact the entire movie.

[00:21:11] Oh, man.

[00:21:12] Oh, yeah.

[00:21:12] Oh, here's another scary part.

[00:21:14] The sister's in the shop and she's looking out the window and then Sarah Michelle Gellar's like, Rebecca!

[00:21:23] And then the hook guy comes in and hooks are right in the belly.

[00:21:27] Hooks are right in the belly.

[00:21:28] I remember it.

[00:21:29] Yeah.

[00:21:29] I remember it well.

[00:21:30] Scary.

[00:21:31] Yeah, so scary.

[00:21:31] So long story short is, I mean, I was a big, younger me, a big Jennifer Love Hewitt fan.

[00:21:36] I don't know what she's been doing the last decade or so.

[00:21:39] It's kind of sad that this is happening.

[00:21:44] But Patrick-

[00:21:45] She used to be on the network, right?

[00:21:46] She's on, yes.

[00:21:47] It says here, Jennifer Love Hewitt has been missing from Lifetime for quite some time.

[00:21:50] Again, lifetimeon court.com.

[00:21:51] There's a whole write-up.

[00:21:52] What's the history here?

[00:21:54] So, well, Jennifer Love Hewitt, the client list, or I think it was called the client list, where she was like a, yeah, she was like a Heidi Fleiss kind of person.

[00:22:05] And that was like her big, like, Lifetime.

[00:22:08] You guys don't know who Heidi Fleiss is.

[00:22:09] I know who Heidi Fleiss is.

[00:22:10] She's like a madam of a, okay.

[00:22:13] Yeah.

[00:22:14] Okay, yes.

[00:22:15] So very, very, very Lifetime, very sexy.

[00:22:20] And yeah, she did that.

[00:22:22] But then she kind of dropped off.

[00:22:23] She did like Rescue 911, where she was like the telephone operator or whatever.

[00:22:29] And hasn't been on Lifetime.

[00:22:30] So now I think she's back and better than ever.

[00:22:33] Starring, directing, producing, and singing an original song in this one.

[00:22:36] She's directing?

[00:22:38] Yeah.

[00:22:38] And she's singing an original song?

[00:22:41] She's still trying to make that music career happen.

[00:22:45] Yikes.

[00:22:45] Bikes.

[00:22:46] All right, let's, against my better judgment, just because it's Jennifer Lovey, let's pour

[00:22:49] it up.

[00:22:49] Let's pour it up and we'll see what happens.

[00:22:51] I'm a little concerned that that was a mistake.

[00:22:55] I disagree entirely.

[00:22:56] I think for all those reasons, it's a definite pour up.

[00:23:00] Not only does her jacket look wonderful in the still photo that you selected for Lifetime

[00:23:05] of the Court, but, you know, I'm interested to see, my big worry here is that it's going

[00:23:12] to be overly serious, you know?

[00:23:13] And I don't really want, I don't want it to be overly serious.

[00:23:15] It's called the Holiday Junkie.

[00:23:17] I know.

[00:23:17] I know it is.

[00:23:18] But you can play Holiday Junkie and still be light and fun.

[00:23:22] But there's also a movie here dealing with the loss and all that could really weigh it

[00:23:27] down.

[00:23:27] But she's singing a song and maybe that will lighten things up a little bit.

[00:23:32] I'm going to pour it up.

[00:23:33] The Holiday Junkie.

[00:23:34] I'm pouring it up for the junkies.

[00:23:36] All the junkies out there.

[00:23:37] Pour one up.

[00:23:38] This one's for you, junkies.

[00:23:40] Patrick?

[00:23:41] Sure.

[00:23:42] So, Jennifer Love Hewitt, you know, we have stated how she's nostalgia.

[00:23:47] She's like, you know, everybody, like, gets excited about her.

[00:23:53] And I think that's true.

[00:23:55] I think that's true.

[00:23:56] But I could see where she might take this a little too serious.

[00:24:00] She was on Party of Five and she really was dramatic in that role.

[00:24:05] You know, she wore her sleeve shirts over her hands and tucked her hair behind her ears.

[00:24:13] And that was so dramatic acting.

[00:24:15] But she's like, you know, my era.

[00:24:18] Like, Neve Campbell's a little too old for me.

[00:24:21] So, I have to root for Jennifer Love.

[00:24:24] I just have to.

[00:24:25] And if she's singing in this, I mean, bare naked.

[00:24:27] Remember that song, guys?

[00:24:29] Bare naked.

[00:24:31] And I just can't take it.

[00:24:33] And I'm bare naked.

[00:24:36] That's how it went.

[00:24:37] That was beautiful.

[00:24:38] And I hope we don't get flags.

[00:24:40] Yeah.

[00:24:40] No, no, no.

[00:24:40] It's identical.

[00:24:42] I've always heard Neve.

[00:24:42] I know.

[00:24:43] I've always heard Neve Campbell.

[00:24:44] Is it Neve?

[00:24:46] Oh, well, she told me I could say that.

[00:24:48] Okay.

[00:24:49] Her name's Neve.

[00:24:50] Her friends call her Neve.

[00:24:51] So, yeah.

[00:24:52] Neve Campbell or Neve?

[00:24:53] I don't know.

[00:24:54] I feel like I've heard it both.

[00:24:55] I've heard it both ways.

[00:24:57] Erin, do you wish to chime in on Neve versus Neve?

[00:25:01] Or do you want to just pour it up?

[00:25:02] I'm going to use my skip on that debate.

[00:25:05] But I will let you know.

[00:25:06] I am pouring up this Jennifer Love Hewitt movie.

[00:25:10] I've never seen.

[00:25:11] I know what you did last summer.

[00:25:12] Oh, man.

[00:25:13] What a ton.

[00:25:13] But I do love Ghost Whisperer.

[00:25:16] And there's just not enough.

[00:25:18] The CBS procedural.

[00:25:18] There's just not enough Jennifer Love Hewitt in my life anymore.

[00:25:22] So, maybe I'll re-watch that TV show and this movie.

[00:25:25] There you go.

[00:25:26] Shout out.

[00:25:27] I know what you're doing this weekend.

[00:25:30] Let's take a quick break.

[00:25:31] We'll come back and we'll do some more of these.

[00:25:33] How about that?

[00:25:34] Here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:25:44] Hello.

[00:25:45] We don't have a moment to waste because the alpacas are coming.

[00:25:47] The alpacas are coming here on this Lifetime Christmas preview.

[00:25:50] Number two is time for Christmas on Alpaca Farm.

[00:25:53] I believe is the title.

[00:25:55] Is that right, Patrick?

[00:25:56] Yeah.

[00:25:57] That's right.

[00:25:57] I think Dan should read this one because it's a little shorter and his attention span is waning.

[00:26:02] That's right.

[00:26:03] Fair.

[00:26:03] More than fair.

[00:26:04] This is airing Sunday, December 15th at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

[00:26:09] I know what I'm doing the night of my anniversary.

[00:26:11] I'm watching Christmas on Alpaca Farm.

[00:26:12] You're going to actually be in Christmas Con.

[00:26:14] That's right.

[00:26:14] That's where you're going to be.

[00:26:15] I'm going to tap out and go watch this movie.

[00:26:17] Yeah, of course.

[00:26:17] Starring Kristen Comerford and Matt Wells.

[00:26:22] Jess, the queen of Christmas sweaters, quits her job at the hottest fashion label in New York City,

[00:26:29] intent on winning a Christmas competition with her own line of sustainable luxury knits.

[00:26:36] Getting your hands dirty, she teams up with Andrew, a single dad and struggling alpaca farmer,

[00:26:43] as she helps bring Christmas joy to the farm and love into both of their hearts.

[00:26:50] Movie sounds like it sucks.

[00:26:51] Oh, my gosh.

[00:26:52] You know what I like about this, though, is it's like, you know, there's a lot of Taylor Swift movies out there.

[00:26:56] This is the Lana Del Rey Christmas movie, though.

[00:26:58] You know?

[00:26:59] It's like inspired by that.

[00:27:00] Sustainable Fabrics.

[00:27:01] I think that's nice.

[00:27:02] Totally.

[00:27:03] One person's alligator tour guide is another person's alpaca farmer.

[00:27:09] Dan?

[00:27:10] Yeah, put a cork right on in that bad boy.

[00:27:13] Yeah, no, I don't know.

[00:27:14] She quits her job to try to win a competition because she's the queen of Christmas sweaters.

[00:27:17] I don't know.

[00:27:17] Are those two things related, though?

[00:27:19] It says she quits her job and, yeah.

[00:27:24] She's the queen of Christmas sweaters, quits her job at the hottest fashion label in New York,

[00:27:29] intent on winning a Christmas competition.

[00:27:31] Now those two are related.

[00:27:32] That's brutal.

[00:27:35] I could win that.

[00:27:36] I quit.

[00:27:37] I quit.

[00:27:38] But I could win it, but I needed to vote all of my time.

[00:27:41] That's right.

[00:27:42] I'll pour it up.

[00:27:43] I'm here to see some.

[00:27:46] Listen, all I will say is this, is if you are going to be promising some luxury knits and she's the queen of Christmas sweaters,

[00:27:55] you better freaking come out swinging.

[00:27:57] Knits getting real.

[00:27:58] And I'm concerned that that's going to be this movie's downfall is not enough impressive sweaters, but we'll see.

[00:28:06] I'll pour it up, though.

[00:28:07] Patrick?

[00:28:08] Yeah.

[00:28:09] Yeah.

[00:28:09] It's a tough one, you know, because we love the fashion, New York fashion, like, lifetime creating, like, that world terribly, you know, with, like, a low budget.

[00:28:20] And they're obviously in Canada, like, we're New York and we're fashion.

[00:28:24] And it's just, like, some guy with, like, a camera, like flashing the lights and all that.

[00:28:29] Like, maybe flashing the lights in the room, like on a switch.

[00:28:34] But then she's going to go to the farm and there's going to be the alpaca.

[00:28:36] And then a guy named Andrew.

[00:28:38] We all know that Andrew's the hottest name.

[00:28:40] And it's just, like, also a movie that's from 2023, Acquisition.

[00:28:47] So what are we going to do?

[00:28:48] Exciting.

[00:28:49] It already exists.

[00:28:50] I can watch it right now on Amazon Prime for free.

[00:28:54] So.

[00:28:55] I wouldn't, though.

[00:28:56] I'd wait until it airs and watch it on Philo.

[00:28:58] Personally, that's how I would do it.

[00:29:00] True.

[00:29:01] True.

[00:29:01] I am a Philo's describer.

[00:29:03] You know.

[00:29:04] Duh.

[00:29:04] And, yeah, I think I'm going to put a cork in it.

[00:29:08] But I have hopes that it will surprise me.

[00:29:11] Erin?

[00:29:12] Erin, your thoughts on alpacas and whatnot?

[00:29:14] Yeah.

[00:29:15] I'm putting a cork in this one.

[00:29:17] I don't want to see a bunch of alpacas on my screen for an hour and 20 minutes.

[00:29:22] Wow.

[00:29:22] Normally in a movie like this, I think the Saving Grace would be a cute farm animal.

[00:29:26] And alpacas just aren't that for me.

[00:29:28] Wow.

[00:29:29] And as someone who enjoys knitting, I'm just not excited for how Lifetime is going to portray that.

[00:29:35] What?

[00:29:37] The heck happened with you on alpacas?

[00:29:39] I just don't want them.

[00:29:40] They're known for spitting, and I just don't want that.

[00:29:42] Don't come near me and spit on me.

[00:29:44] Putting alpacas on blast today.

[00:29:46] I think they're great.

[00:29:48] I know a lot of people that love them.

[00:29:50] Do you think they're great?

[00:29:51] Do you?

[00:29:52] Doesn't seem like it.

[00:29:54] They make really, their wool makes really great socks.

[00:29:59] I don't know.

[00:29:59] Guys, it's not for me.

[00:30:00] This one's not for me.

[00:30:01] They're going to have her make a sweater in an hour, and I hate it.

[00:30:04] This is where we cut live to Aaron murdering an alpaca.

[00:30:07] Do we have that?

[00:30:07] Yeah.

[00:30:11] Man, that was tough audio.

[00:30:13] That was just the audio.

[00:30:14] That's interesting.

[00:30:14] Yeah.

[00:30:15] We didn't have the video.

[00:30:16] We couldn't show it.

[00:30:16] What I do in my time away from the office is my time, and I don't appreciate you putting

[00:30:21] me on blast.

[00:30:21] So keep the OnlyFans Googling on your time as well.

[00:30:25] It was Hallmark related.

[00:30:26] That is clearly company time.

[00:30:27] Don't act like you didn't send us all that footage of you.

[00:30:31] You were very proud of it, and now you're trying to back back.

[00:30:35] That's right.

[00:30:36] To the next one.

[00:30:37] Yeah.

[00:30:38] Okay.

[00:30:39] Great.

[00:30:39] Great transition.

[00:30:40] Great transition.

[00:30:41] Okay.

[00:30:42] So this is the movie that we were teasing before.

[00:30:44] It is called A Carpenter's Christmas Romance, so it's going to be a little sexy.

[00:30:48] It's going to be a little sultry.

[00:30:50] And Aaron, if you wouldn't mind reading this lovely and long description, that would be great.

[00:30:57] Yeah.

[00:30:57] I don't know how to say her last name, but we'll say Sasha, who played Allison on Pretty

[00:31:04] Little Liars.

[00:31:05] He's got to try.

[00:31:05] I try, Aaron.

[00:31:07] You got to try to say her last name.

[00:31:09] I never know how to say people's last names.

[00:31:13] Pieters?

[00:31:14] Got him.

[00:31:15] Sasha, get in here.

[00:31:19] I would like to meet Sasha if she's here.

[00:31:21] Big fan.

[00:31:22] She was going to be here, but then she heard how you said it, and she's like, I can't.

[00:31:26] And then Mitchell Slaggart, I guess.

[00:31:29] Yeah.

[00:31:29] When novelist Andrea hints her upcoming book may be taking a heartbreaking turn, her fans

[00:31:36] begin protesting, demanding their favorite character doesn't get killed off.

[00:31:40] Oh, my God.

[00:31:41] Needing a haven where she can finish her novel, Andrea flees to her family's farmhouse in the

[00:31:45] town of Wildwood.

[00:31:47] Much to her surprise, she ends up running into her ex-crush, Seth, an artisanal woodworker

[00:31:53] who's helping rebuild the town after it was nearly destroyed by a fire.

[00:31:57] Oh, my gosh.

[00:31:58] It doesn't take long for sawdust and sparks of romance.

[00:32:03] Guys.

[00:32:04] Is there a word missing here?

[00:32:06] It doesn't take long for sawdust and sparks of romance to fill the air once the two team

[00:32:11] up and work together to reignite the town's Christmas spirit.

[00:32:15] Listen, if your town was burned down, I don't know if you're reigniting the town.

[00:32:20] There's no way a human wrote this.

[00:32:24] Is this romance just a holiday fling that ends when her trip is over?

[00:32:28] Or can the two build a love that is made to last?

[00:32:33] Amazing.

[00:32:34] And it's directed by Sarah Drew.

[00:32:35] Now, what's the whole hubbub about this movie, Patrick?

[00:32:38] You want to fill Dan in?

[00:32:40] Okay.

[00:32:41] Okay.

[00:32:41] Well, this is Lifetime's first porn.

[00:32:46] No, it's just that there's going to be a steamy scene or something, I guess.

[00:32:52] Piggybacking off of what they had last year with Jana Kramer rolling in the hay.

[00:32:56] Now they're going to roll in some sawdust.

[00:32:59] I don't think it's really that big of a deal, but it's supposed to be horny Christmas and yeah, that's it.

[00:33:05] Supposed to be horny Christmas.

[00:33:07] Directed by Sarah Drew.

[00:33:08] That's right.

[00:33:08] Yep.

[00:33:09] We love Sarah Drew.

[00:33:10] Of course.

[00:33:10] This does sound like a book, like a novel, like just a cheap...

[00:33:16] A tawdry.

[00:33:17] Yeah.

[00:33:17] That's what it sounds like.

[00:33:20] I just can't...

[00:33:21] It probably is.

[00:33:22] It's a woodworker in the town of Wildwood and there's sawdust everywhere.

[00:33:27] I just can't believe that they had one sentence end with nearly destroyed by a fire and they immediately followed up with,

[00:33:34] it doesn't take long for sawdust and sparks.

[00:33:37] Yeah.

[00:33:37] And then they reignite.

[00:33:38] And then they reignite.

[00:33:39] Guys, come on.

[00:33:40] Have they forgotten what happened?

[00:33:42] Last time that happened?

[00:33:44] The town is like on fire the whole movie, you know?

[00:33:47] Oh, wow.

[00:33:48] So like their love is like burning like the town, you know?

[00:33:52] It's a metaphor.

[00:33:54] Dan, does that do anything for you?

[00:33:55] No, I'd put a cork in it.

[00:33:57] Whoa.

[00:33:57] It's absolutely not.

[00:33:58] Yeah.

[00:33:58] I mean, the guy's name is Mitchell Slaggart.

[00:34:00] I don't know what you want from me.

[00:34:01] That's attacking the actor.

[00:34:02] I'm just kidding.

[00:34:03] Come on.

[00:34:04] I don't...

[00:34:04] We love Mitchell.

[00:34:05] We don't know him.

[00:34:06] I don't know anything about him or Sasha.

[00:34:09] I know nothing about this movie.

[00:34:11] I just...

[00:34:11] This doesn't sound like I'm going to like it.

[00:34:15] Put a cork in it.

[00:34:16] Listen, my biggest concern here is that this is Lifetime's now knows that they can get free publicity

[00:34:22] by saying, there's going to be something going on here.

[00:34:25] Yeah.

[00:34:25] After hearing what happened last year, it's just like...

[00:34:27] And they surround it with a not very good movie.

[00:34:29] And then I just don't think...

[00:34:31] I don't like this pattern.

[00:34:32] I don't like this pattern.

[00:34:33] Just let it happen.

[00:34:35] Let the sawdust and sparks do its job.

[00:34:38] And people will find it.

[00:34:40] I just don't think...

[00:34:41] I don't like the buzz about the movie.

[00:34:44] Because I just think it's setting the network up for another disappointment and outrage.

[00:34:50] And so I'm going to put a cork in this one.

[00:34:51] I don't think we need to do this.

[00:34:53] I don't think we need to do this.

[00:34:55] Patrick?

[00:34:57] Yeah.

[00:34:58] You know, I love Sarah Drew and I like the production company of this one.

[00:35:02] But I just don't know.

[00:35:05] So I think sexy Christmas is not a thing that anyone wants.

[00:35:11] Nobody is clamoring for this.

[00:35:14] So you can have your sexy Christmas time in your own personal bedroom.

[00:35:20] But I don't think we need to make a sexy Christmas movie.

[00:35:23] So I'm going to put a cork in it.

[00:35:26] Because also it doesn't really deliver on the sexiness anyways.

[00:35:29] Anyways.

[00:35:30] So...

[00:35:30] That's interesting.

[00:35:31] Because on lifetimeoncork.com, you say, I'm here for it.

[00:35:35] Obviously.

[00:35:35] Pour it up.

[00:35:37] What happened?

[00:35:38] What happened?

[00:35:40] You're like Lifetime just lying about...

[00:35:42] He's covering all his bases, guys.

[00:35:44] He can't be wrong.

[00:35:45] I will also say, on lifetimeoncork.com, he also poured up the Tia movie.

[00:35:50] Okay.

[00:35:50] Wow.

[00:35:51] So...

[00:35:52] In between...

[00:35:53] I'm allowed to...

[00:35:54] I'm allowed to pull it on.

[00:35:55] To say whatever I want.

[00:35:57] Patrick is playing fast and loose with his...

[00:35:59] He's covered both ways.

[00:36:01] It's like we're not even previews.

[00:36:03] Either way.

[00:36:03] This shows you...

[00:36:04] This tells you everything you need to know about preview episodes.

[00:36:07] He has poured it up and put a cork in it, and so he's right.

[00:36:09] He's right.

[00:36:10] That's right.

[00:36:11] Erin?

[00:36:12] Oh, I'm pouring this movie up.

[00:36:13] Okay.

[00:36:13] I love Sasha.

[00:36:14] I'm excited to see her in a movie where she's not killing people.

[00:36:18] You don't know that.

[00:36:19] Living great.

[00:36:19] Yeah, I don't know that.

[00:36:20] Maybe she will, and that'll be a better movie.

[00:36:21] You love Sasha so much that you spent all last night practicing Sasha's last name

[00:36:26] to perfect it as...

[00:36:29] Peterson.

[00:36:30] Peterson.

[00:36:30] It sounds like we're slowing you down.

[00:36:34] Peterson.

[00:36:35] Well, I want to say, like...

[00:36:36] I want to switch, like, the E and the R in, like, Pietrice.

[00:36:41] Yeah.

[00:36:42] You are doing better than I would.

[00:36:46] Sasha Peterson's Peterson.

[00:36:48] Peterson.

[00:36:49] Peterson.

[00:36:50] Peterson.

[00:36:51] I'm positive it's not Peterson.

[00:36:52] No, it could be.

[00:36:53] Well, is Sasha still here?

[00:36:55] Can she come in and...

[00:36:56] Get in here, Sasha.

[00:36:57] Correct.

[00:36:58] All right.

[00:36:59] We got one more.

[00:37:00] One more.

[00:37:01] And I think it's only fair that Patrick reads this final one.

[00:37:04] Closing it out.

[00:37:05] Closing it out.

[00:37:06] We have Engaged by Christmas.

[00:37:08] It airs Sunday, December 22nd at 8, 7 central.

[00:37:12] It stars Brittany Bristow and Marcus Rosner.

[00:37:16] Personal friends.

[00:37:18] Personal friends.

[00:37:19] Love.

[00:37:21] When Zoe.

[00:37:23] Zoe.

[00:37:24] When Zoe writes to...

[00:37:27] Oh, gosh.

[00:37:27] I'm starting off terribly.

[00:37:29] The Zoe Zoe threw me off.

[00:37:31] Okay.

[00:37:31] Let's start over.

[00:37:32] When Zoe writes to advice columnist Dear Adora to help save her relationship before the holidays,

[00:37:41] she puts the advice into practice, and it's disastrous.

[00:37:45] Her boyfriend breaks up with her.

[00:37:47] When she tracks down Dear Adora to confront her, she discovers it's actually a man named Adam.

[00:37:54] Oh!

[00:37:55] Oh!

[00:37:57] Zoe vows to keep Adam's identity a secret if he helps her repair her life via a series of Christmas-themed events publicized by his column.

[00:38:08] When the interest in their activities gains huge traction, will they also find love?

[00:38:14] Woo!

[00:38:14] Hmm.

[00:38:15] Man.

[00:38:16] Wow.

[00:38:17] I mean, you have to pour this up.

[00:38:19] It is two folks who know how to act in a Christmas movie.

[00:38:24] It's a fun idea.

[00:38:25] You got to keep an identity secret.

[00:38:28] There's a lot happening here.

[00:38:30] I actually wouldn't mind watching this one.

[00:38:33] I want it to be good, too, because I know Britt Bristow and I know Marcus Rosner,

[00:38:38] and it would be cool if they were in a really great movie together.

[00:38:41] That would be fantastic.

[00:38:42] So, yeah.

[00:38:44] Pour it up.

[00:38:44] Absolutely.

[00:38:46] I not only am excited about this movie because of the leads,

[00:38:49] I actually think that this is the most interesting of the synopses of the 12 Lifetime movies.

[00:38:55] I'm pouring this one up as well.

[00:38:58] Patrick?

[00:38:59] Patrick?

[00:39:00] Yeah.

[00:39:01] It's Lifetime's last Christmas movie of the year.

[00:39:04] So, I feel like they are placing it in a place where more people might see it.

[00:39:09] In their minds, they don't understand how this whole TV movie, Christmas thing works.

[00:39:14] They're still figuring it out.

[00:39:15] But, yeah.

[00:39:16] In the Lifetime publicity brain, they're like,

[00:39:18] we'll put our best movie last.

[00:39:20] So, I think that's what this will be.

[00:39:22] I love the idea of a Dear Abby type of thing.

[00:39:29] Sounds funny.

[00:39:30] I want to see the reveal, like how they're going to reveal that.

[00:39:33] She's going to walk up to a little lady,

[00:39:36] and then it's going to be Marcus Rosner in a little wig and a pearl purse.

[00:39:41] Oh, wow.

[00:39:42] You've really given it a lot of thought.

[00:39:44] No, I just come in with that.

[00:39:47] Just workshopping it.

[00:39:49] Yeah.

[00:39:49] So, I definitely think pour it up for this one.

[00:39:52] Erin.

[00:39:54] I'm also pouring this one up.

[00:39:56] We love Britt Bristow.

[00:39:57] We love Marcus Rosner.

[00:39:58] I think it's going to be the best Lifetime movie of this season.

[00:40:02] Well, there you go.

[00:40:02] I mean, come on.

[00:40:03] And they're both personally excited about this one, which is great.

[00:40:07] They've both said that they're really excited to see this one.

[00:40:10] According to Britt Bristow, we have a past and a future Bramble Fest star in this movie.

[00:40:17] Britt Bristow says she's coming next year.

[00:40:18] I mean.

[00:40:19] Says she has it on her calendar.

[00:40:20] Wow.

[00:40:20] So.

[00:40:21] Take what you want.

[00:40:22] Amazing.

[00:40:23] There you go.

[00:40:24] We do it, everybody.

[00:40:25] Congratulations to us.

[00:40:26] Yes.

[00:40:26] And congratulations to Lifetime for finally joining the fun.

[00:40:30] Their Christmas movies begin tonight with their first movie, The Plumhouse Time.

[00:40:35] What's it called?

[00:40:36] Plumhouse Time.

[00:40:36] Plumhill Manor.

[00:40:37] Plumhouse Time.

[00:40:38] Christmas at Plumhouse Manor, which we'll be reviewing next Saturday is when our review of that comes with Patrick, of course.

[00:40:46] And you can stay up to date with all of Patrick's Lifetime reviews and all the other reviews he's doing.

[00:40:52] He's doing so many.

[00:40:54] And you can follow him up.

[00:40:56] Lifetimeoncourt.com.

[00:40:58] Patrick, anything else for the people today?

[00:41:01] No.

[00:41:02] You know, just stay hydrated.

[00:41:04] Stay hydrated always.

[00:41:06] All right.

[00:41:07] Okay.

[00:41:07] All right.

[00:41:08] Yeah.

[00:41:09] 100%.

[00:41:10] All right, everybody.

[00:41:11] We'll be back next time on another one.

[00:41:12] Until then, maybe the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.

[00:41:15] Stay hydrated.
