Deck the Walls (Hallmark Channel - 2024)

[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Hi, I'm Brandon, I love Hallmark Christmas movies. I'm Brian, I like Hallmark Christmas movies. I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Christmas movies and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark, it's this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Oh man, he just threw that water bottle down. I'm just resting it right down there. Hi everybody, welcome to another episode of Deck The Hallmark, it's a big week.

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_03]: We're over the hump of the big week. It feels that way. It's Thursday. I'm feeling the weight of it. Yeah, we are. I'm feeling great actually, you know why? Christmas movie magic. I played it last night watching the newest Netflix movie, Our Little Secrets. And if you've been wondering, it does work with the Netflix Christmas movies as well as it does with Hallmark Christmas movies.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_03]: This game slaps. It slaps with any movie that you want to do it to. Deck the Hallmark.com slash game. Deck the Hallmark is a family show.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_03]: No, Deck the Hallmark is a family show. I didn't say anything wrong. I said what I said and I meant it. Deck the Hallmark.com slash game is what we're talking about. That's right. Brian, what do you have for the people? You walked in with a whole bucket.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, in a bucket. It slapped. It was sloshing actually, the bucket. Yeah, that's... You just pick any Christmas movie you want to do it to. Right. And then you whip out the game and you can play it. Yeah. It's fantastic. Or don't. Like take it out just easily. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you... Well, it's going to come... The nice thing is it comes in the saran wrap. It does come around. And so you got to open that up and then it'll be... You can play it. Christmas movie magic. It's not that hard to open up.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not. Nah. Mostly. What did you have though? You wanted to talk about something? Yeah, I had a bucket. Yeah. Something in the bucket was like sloshing around. Yeah, yeah. It's all a bucket. I like minnows, I think, in there. Yeah, minnows. Yeah. Well... Why'd you bring minnows into the office? You want fishing? I'm not big. I'm trying to decrease the meat as we all... I'm doing a thing here at the end of the year. You've never been doing... I just want to be very clear. Not in the... You've talked about doing a thing. I'm not eating as much meat. Well, I don't know. How has that been going? You have... Every time I turn around, you're eating as much meat.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You're eating a burger. Last time we went to eat, you ate a burger. You don't ever stop it. I suggested it actually. Get some help. You're like, I'm getting a burger. Let him get to it. Let him get to it. I've been doing two smoothies a week for a year almost, aside from vacation weeks. And this guy has the audacity to say he's giving up beef. Well, I got that tennis elbow. You guys know about that. So I had to rehab that. I need the protein. I can't let myself hang there. Iron in the bloodstream. So you got a tennis elbow in your bed.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: The doctor said eat more red meat. Well, I know how the body works. I know what I need. So I just took it upon myself. Listen to your body. Yeah. So I would try to incorporate more vegetable or fish. And so I brought in a bucket of minnows. I thought I'll just eat these. And then we went to lunch instead. So the meat thing's not... Maybe I'll do it next year. You know? Okay. Maybe I'll put it off a little bit. Is that the plan for next year? You got anything you're thinking of for next year? I was just about the thing. I was just about to ask you. I'm going to do it next year. Oh, we do. Are we both... You got to keep the smoothie going?

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been doing stuff with you because it holds me... We're accountability buddies. It helps you because you'll look over... We're accountability buddies. We are. Accountability buddies. I'm planning on keeping the two smoothies. Yeah. You should add something. We should add something. I'm going to try to learn Spanish next year. What? That's my big... You don't want to do that. That's for sure. I'm already... Unless I can say it, it isn't. Oh, Aaron, is that a good time for you to talk about your Duolingo? Oh, my God. If I have to hear one more day. For 2020... What do you got to tell the people? I'm in the top 3% of blah, blah, blah. Top 2%. Am I right? I'm in the top 2% of all Duolingos.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So she'd correct me. Top 2%. Listen, I don't have a lot going on in my life. I don't have kids. I'm not married. Can you tell us that in French? No. Okay. So it means nothing. You're the top 2%? You can't tell us that in French? I can read French really well. Okay. Could you type it... I can't speak it. ...and then translate it and then read it to us? All right. It'd probably be easier than me to speak it. Fair enough. Fair enough. Maybe we should all learn a language.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Speaking friends who want to talk to me. I'd love to be better at that skill. I'd like to do a thing. We should do a thing. We should do a thing. We should do another thing. Figure out another on top of the smoothies. Should we all learn Spanish together? I mean, listen. Are we going to do this in Spanish, this podcast? We're going to record it twice. Hola. Si se puede. Let's go. Me gusta. Is that what? Me gusta. Me gusta. Me gusta. Christmas... Navidad. Navidad. That's not love, right? What is love? Love. Me encanta.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Me encanta. Me gusta. Hallmark movies. Hallmark. Although me encanta is I love. Yeah. I mean, if you were talking about something, we don't have to do it right now. Save it for a couple more weeks. We've got the rest of this year to get through. I've never really had that urge to learn another language. I'm sure I'll get there at some point. My mom was fluent in Spanish. I'm still learning English, guys. Yeah, that's fair. My mom was fluent in Spanish. Instead of using that

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: like base of Spanish that I had just from growing up in my house to learn Spanish, I just coasted. Yeah. So I just tested out of all of it in college. I never had to try any Spanish class. I never bothered to actually like learn it and be fluent. How dare you? And so now I want to rectify that.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I may amo, Dan. That sounds just like me. It's unbelievable. Am I? Is it me from a different universe in the studio?

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Me gusta. Hallmark movies. Dan. No, I don't. No, me gusta. Wow. How about that? Put some respect on my accent. Did you say Encanto? Yeah, I did. Yep. I do Encanto Encanto. I love that movie. It's a great movie.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk Deck the Walls. Yeah, let's do it. It originally aired on the Hallmark Channel on November 29th, 2024, and it went a little something like this. Rose! Kiss from a Rose.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Should have saved it until the end when they kissed. Sorry. Dang it. Rose is a busy designer working during the holiday season.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_03]: She gets a call from her brother, a handyman named Sal, who has big news. He has won the charity design project for the holidays.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_03]: He asks Rose for some design advice. They have a, I would say, charming relationship. A little bicker bicker here and there. You love to see it.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And yes, he's like, you're going to come home? And she's like, you know I'm not going home.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_03]: We then meet Bryson walking out of a hardware store carrying a bunch of wood as he's prone to do.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_03]: He is annoyed to bump into his ex who flaunts the fact that she is now engaged.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Bryson works with Sal and they are surprised to learn that the funding for the project that they're working on has been cut.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But they need to get the project done on a budget for the Denver Chronicle for a feel-good Christmas story that they're wanting to do.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The charity house they are working on will go to the town's principal.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Sal tells Bryson that they need to bring Rose into the project to help finish it on time.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose says no, but that's nothing that some brotherly guilt can't overcome.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose, who is a designer, not an interior decorator.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't call her that.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Hasn't been home since her parents passed.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_03]: If you've heard that before this season, stop me.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Good gosh.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Is not thrilled about the reunion with all the holiday chaos.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose drives into town and immediately bumps into Bryson and spills her coffee all over her shirt.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and also Rose finds out that she's going to be staying in the same house as Bryson.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_03]: And oh, they also are going to be sharing a bathroom because, of course, they do.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: But hey, it's for a good cause, right?

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose and Bryson decide that they need to coexist to make this happen.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: There is plenty of eye-rolling, sarcastic comments.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You love to see it.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose finds herself pulling out some pretty stellar design moves.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And there's even a HomeGood ad thrown in here four, five, six, seven times throughout the movie.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I love a good product placement.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_03]: So shout out to HomeGoods.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Never been in a HomeGoods.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Shout out to Nutella.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Nutella, shout out.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_03]: We do have one, though, in Grievo, right?

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that right by Frankie's?

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that a HomeGoods?

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think so.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it is now.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: What is that?

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: No, that's an at-home.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That's at-home.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's very different.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, is it?

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: We have a HomeGoods in Easley and one on Woodruff Road.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We're on Woodruff Road.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: The at-home is the one where you're talking about.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Marshalls.

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Marshalls and HomeGoods.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's right.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Right there in a...

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a both-and situation.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Right there in whatchamacallit.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And whatchamacallit.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Greenridge.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Greenridge.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Whatchamacallit.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, Rose crosses paths with Katie, the local EMT's daughter, and her daughter, Arabella,

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: who are psyched about Rose taking on the project and share some tips on their family's style.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: All of that seems wonderful and heartwarming until Jake Hunter, the town reporter that's

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: coming into town, shows up.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And there's a bit of tension there.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: What's going on here, Jake?

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: He is going to be capturing the moment, though, for whenever the Landrys show up to receive

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: their house.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: But he has doubts that they are going to finish it on time until he hears that Rose is involved.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Then he's like, oh, yeah, well, this is going to happen.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Bryson opens up to Rose about his parents, which is why he's crashing at Sal's place

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_03]: to begin with.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_03]: There's even a moment when Rose, with Rose, at the Christmas tree farm, and she ends up

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_03]: talking to the Christmas tree farm guy about social media and whatnot.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Gets a free tree.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Sponsorships.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_03]: You love to see it.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_03]: We didn't get a montage.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_03]: This movie is everything.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: You got the paint splatters.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You get the hammering.

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_03]: You got some bad Christmas music.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And the surprising absence of decorating montages that are usually in these movies.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But this is a home makeover movie, so we get a home makeover montage instead of some

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_03]: of the other stuff.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: The mayor checks in.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Only five days to go and sees the place is still not where it needs to be.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It needs to be.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_03]: He's getting real nervous.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the Denver Chronicle.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the Denver Chronicle we're talking about here, folks.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: But this team is not going to buckle under the pressure.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_03]: This is nothing that some skating rink karaoke fun can't handle.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what you do sometimes when you are up against it.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_03]: You go and you skate.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose and Bryson reminisce about high school, and they realize, I think, in this moment that

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_03]: there's something going on between the two of them.

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But just when you think things are going smoothly, an icy branch falls and makes a hole in the

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_03]: roof.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: What a hole.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: What a hole.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: You hate to see it.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's like, this is an absolute mess.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Rosie's like, this is awful.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And Sal is like, hey, we're going to get here.

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to get there.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: The Landry family then steps in and helps save the day for their own house.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_03]: They come and they say, hey, we can do things too.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Have you heard about that?

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Even Jake from the Denver Chronicle, he puts his camera down to join in on the fun.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_03]: We do get cookies here.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You love to see that.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Jake and Sal have a heartfelt conversation where they finally figure out what's going

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: on here.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: There's childhood bully stuff, but they figure it out and they're going to move past it

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and maybe move on to something new.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_03]: In true dramatic fashion, Rose overhears Bryson's ex bragging about this newfound, like there's

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: something going on between her and her ex or something.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And she's like, this is awful.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so mad.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a misunderstanding, everybody.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be okay.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_03]: The Landry's come and they see the thing and this is amazing.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And they finally kiss.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You love to see it.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: We love a kiss.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Sal and Jake, they don't kiss, but it is a happy ending for everyone in this movie.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And that, my friends, was Deco Waltz.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Wait.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_02]: There it is.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't have my headphones.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_02]: They're in my backpack.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I put mine in for some reason.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at you.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It was as early as we've ever gone with the title of it ever.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And Deck the Walls.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll come back.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll get to this movie.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll break it down with four segments here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Dan, people are probably sick about hearing how amazing Greenville is, but I'm not going

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_03]: to stop talking about it.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's so amazing.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Greenville, South Carolina is incredible.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It's unbelievable.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Not just it's a great place to live, but it's a great place to visit as well, especially

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: during the holiday season, Dan.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_02]: If you watch a Hallmark movie and see the parade that they put on display for you in one of

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: those movies, it's kind of underwhelming most of the time.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Not true here in Greenville at the Poinsettia Parade.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: This parade, two years ago, 90 different floats in the parade.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_02]: We get to judge it.

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: We get to live stream it.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's a parade that brings in tens of thousands of people from around the greater Greenville

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: area.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_02]: If you're nearby, you should check it out.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: You should.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And if you're looking for something else to do, my family and I went to check out the

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_03]: best Christmas pageant ever at the South Carolina Children's Theater.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And it was wonderful.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_03]: A fantastic performance.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Lots of catchy tunes.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's happening all month long as well.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So whether you're into the theater or you're into some fun parades, Greenville's got it all.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Visit, visit greenvillesc.com to check out a list of things that you can do right here

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_03]: in Greenville, South Carolina.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Welcome back to Deck the Hallmark.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: We're talking Deck the Walls today.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: We're breaking it down with four segments.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to start with the hot take.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_03]: It's where we share exactly how we felt about this movie.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_01]: What'd you think?

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_01]: This one, I liked it.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Stop me if you heard this every time we've reviewed a movie this year.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I liked it.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was pretty funny.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Pretty good dialogue.

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Danny Pellegrino, I don't know if he said it when he was on with us.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard him on a couple of different shows this year.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: He said he wanted to set out to write a classic Hallmark movie.

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He said it on our plot.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like he did.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And it did have some twists.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And it did have some humor.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It was sort of like a classic setup.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But with Danny Pellegrino, with his twist on it and his personality, and it really came across.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was, I think they should do more stuff like this where like known personalities are in movies like this with classic storylines, classic actors.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And it just sort of like elevates it a little bit.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Wes, I don't know what's like this.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_01]: He is so good in this like passive aggressive nonchalant role.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Like he really stood out to me in this role.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And he was really, really funny.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Wes is really like, I don't know.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He's been, I've really liked the roles he's been playing.

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And him in this type of role was really fun.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It felt a little small to me.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It felt like we should have had some workers maybe in the house doing a little construction.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It just was a really small.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: They lost the money.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the money was gone.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Just, you should have a few people in there.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It would have made it feel, I think a little, it felt a little small is all it was, was just having the same cast, the same handful of people in almost every scene just felt a little small for me.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And also the, the misunderstanding was just absolutely redonkulous.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Redonkulous?

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Got a redonkulous coming in hot there.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: 90s Christmas.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And so that, I feel like that could, you know, obviously that could have been.

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He's giving 90s Christmas right now.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: He's giving it.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly right.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Giving Mary Poppins.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_01]: So, but yeah, I liked it.

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Shout out to HomeGoods and Nutella.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, they earned it.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We'd love to seriously put a sheet on that door.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, yeah, throw it over to you, Brandon.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think?

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I like this one okay.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_03]: It's probably towards the upper end of the middle, if that makes sense.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So not quite cracking into the handful of movies that I think are above everything else, but towards the top of the middle.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: There's not a ton to critique about this movie.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I just don't.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It just, the plot itself didn't connect with me as much as some of the other ones have with the home makeover stuff.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_03]: That typically doesn't land for me.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_03]: But the cast itself, I thought, was great.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that the two leads had great chemistry.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that Sal and the Denver Chronicle guy, I liked when they were together.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: My biggest critique of this movie is I just don't know what is going on over what the hell is going on at Hallmark.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: We have this setup where you have Sal and you have Denver Chronicle guy, and you think that there's going to be a kiss.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And there's been the pushback, and rightfully so, that Hallmark's kind of gone backwards.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And it just, I like.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It was an opportune time to do things correctly here.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I even said a joke to Dan.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, I can't believe Danny Pellegrino wrote a kiss into his own movie.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they didn't kiss.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_03]: They didn't kiss.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, I don't know what's going on with Hallmark and in that regard.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But also, I wasn't surprised by that.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It felt kind of natural that they didn't kiss.

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I felt like it would have been a little, not forced, but I was like, yeah, they did just start getting a little fun.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the problem is this, is that you have two things happening at once.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: One is they've only really started talking for a day or two at most.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But the flip side is he gets as much screen time as Wes Brown.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Danny Pellegrino is the co-lead.

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Wes Brown and Ashley Green are not the A couple.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: They're 1A and 2A.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And so to have them stare outside of a beautifully decorated house, Sal and Jake to stare at each other in this movie, and not kiss was crazy.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It was crazy.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: They're two grown-ups.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I hear what you're saying.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: But it also has never stopped Hallmark before.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sure.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And they do have history.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_03]: They knew each other.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: They might be couples that have just met kiss all the time.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_03]: But overall, I thought that the movie was swell, but maybe a little bit too safe, if I can have the critique a little bit too safe.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_03]: But overall, fine time.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: In the preview episodes, which are very important if you're new to Duck to Homemark, go to listen to those.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_02]: They mean a lot.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: We always talk about, especially me, I always talk about movies that have a high floor.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Like a movie with Lacey and Chris Palaha has a high floor.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Like Iceland, Lacey, Chris Palaha.

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no way to screw that up.

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_02]: This movie has a low ceiling.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So it is a movie that...

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's because a branch fell through.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It is.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a movie, during the preview episode, on paper, reads like an absolute 2012, super generic, super boring, Hallmark Christmas movie.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_02]: What it has going for it, it's ace in the hole, is Danny Pellegrino.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_02]: The dialogue is snappy.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's quippy.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Danny gets a lot of screen time in a role I would akin to Eminem being an eight mile,

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: just like a hyperbolic version of himself, where he gets to basically play himself.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't ask him to try to do too much as an actor, and he gets to deliver the lines that he wrote.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And so it's clearly his baby, and that's wonderful.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_02]: The problem is, is because the movie is so generic, I don't have many wait-whats.

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He covers his bases as a writer.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just such a low bar with no stakes, and I just...

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't find myself caring.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I was disappointed that Sal and Jake didn't kiss, specifically in the current climate we find Hallmark Christmas movies.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought Ashley Green and Wes Brown were more than competent in their roles.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But in the grand scheme of things, so many movies tried something way bigger than this.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And so a movie like Holiday Crashers, a movie like Twas the Date, tries to be better.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And even if they don't always succeed, they're trying something bigger and better than this.

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And so for me, right now, this is dead in the middle.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: This is right in the middle of my list, right around 15.

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it is quippy.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I love the fast dialogue.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I love the banter.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But it doesn't really aspire to do anything that would be memorable for a Hallmark movie.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I will forget about this movie by next week.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And so for me, it is a movie that doesn't have a lot of wait-whats, but also doesn't have a lot of really great moments.

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And so just kind of mad for me.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It's time for All the Feels.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_03]: We're talking about what this movie gives feels.

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, him putting that ceramic tree back together worked for me.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was embarrassed.

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even think that it broke basically into two pieces.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And then as I was typing, oh, that's so sweet.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe you did that.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I could hear Dan chirping next to me about, it broke into two pieces, Brian.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You just put the top back on, Brian.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You put the top back on, Brian.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I was about to say, I'm all over the map today.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But it worked for me.

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was a really great thing.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I was thinking about it.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Brody's two pieces.

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_01]: So cool.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I do have a backup feels, though, because I knew this would happen.

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You can take mine.

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: The music in this stood out.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The music was awesome.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_01]: There were so many songs.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to Shazam, but I was watching it on my phone, so I couldn't do that at the same time.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So I got to go back.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Big weekend for Dan and Shay.

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I kept thinking it was Rascal Flatts.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Shay.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Rascal Flatts.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Multiple songs by Dan and Shay this weekend.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's uncanny.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: The music was awesome in this one.

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Shout out to HomeGoods and Nutella.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just good to be back.

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, you think we've moved on past product placement, and then you get a movie like this

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_03]: that has HomeGoods and Nutella just all over the screen, and you love to see it.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I love to see it.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And as somebody who likes old Hallmark from time to time and dips back into those movies,

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_03]: to have a movie like this, which to Danny's point is a nod to some of those classic Hallmark movies,

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_03]: with also having classic brand injections into it, I loved it.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I loved to see it.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_03]: More of that.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_03]: If I can make one request, let's get back to the product placement.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a wild request.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_03]: What a wild request.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I love them.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It is fun.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Dano?

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Home Alone 2 reference.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: The Home Alone 2 reference and the way it was done was the highlight of this movie for me.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_02]: What was the reference?

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the bird lady in Home Alone 2.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_03]: What's the bird lady?

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's this character in Home Alone 2 that helps Kevin along his way.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Does she say anything?

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: She does.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_02]: She says a bunch of stuff.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what?

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Including, Kevin, run.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very nice.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_04]: It's unbelievable.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_03]: What I want to do is I want to take you saying that, but then put the clip over top of her saying it

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and see if people can even tell the difference.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like Brian doing an impression of me.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It's identical.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I just love that not only was that the reference, but he has it on his forehead and she just

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: says pigeon and he gets it right.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Highlight of the movie for me.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I showed my kids Home Alone last weekend for the first time.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Huge hit.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They think it's the best movie of all time.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So fair if you're eight years old.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Can't wait to show them Home Alone 2, the superior Home Alone.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: There you have it.

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll come back.

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll get to the way it was.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: The what?

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: The Hallmark here on.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Take the Hallmark.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Brian, buying wine used to be the worst kind of adventure.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Stresses me out.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's overpriced at the store.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: You get home.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: The wine might not be any good and there's nothing worse than getting home with a bottle

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: of wine and wanting to share it with your wife, your friends, your family, and it just

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_02]: not living up to expectations.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_02]: You either have to do a bunch of research, which I hate doing, or you just have to roll

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_02]: the dice.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Naked Wines came along and my wife and I love Naked Wines because they're changing

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_02]: how we buy and drink wine.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I know I am.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_03]: You look well.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You look well.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel good.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You know?

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a long season, and sometimes stuff comes up.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You did this one right.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I did this one right this year.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been training all year for this.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_03]: This is why we did the smoothies.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_03]: This is why you're doing a thing.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_03]: We did the smoothies to get to this point, to feel good, to play good, and to do right.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Feel good, play good.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Smoothies.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, I did hear from my doctor.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_03]: He said I should take up smoking.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You should take up smoking.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, a few.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I was wondering about that.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, thank goodness.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_03]: We were on the fence about that.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get back to the Wait What?

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_03]: We were talking about what in the smoothie made a school of Wait What.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, we have a hot beverage spill on somebody's, not bare skin, but a hot, I mean, fresh

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: from the barista.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It spills all over him, which that's scary enough.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_01]: He just leaves after that.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't even go get a refill, get another coffee.

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess this is over.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess I'm done with this.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Blows my mind.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_02]: But does he run an Ashley Green who he's not seen in a long time?

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Isn't it this thing where he's like, I don't want to deal with this anymore?

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's what it is.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He just put scares away.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It'd be weird if you thought you were getting coffee and then got no coffee.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be so depressed.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It's either a very different type of...

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like when one week Parler didn't have any cold brew and it was just like they didn't

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: have it.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you do?

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It was unbelievable.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Instead of coffee, it was no coffee.

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was just like...

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Man, it was like Aaron just had to relive that.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It was just a terror on her face.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't Aaron's fault?

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_00]: That was...

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it was just a bad day.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a tough day.

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I looked back over at her and it just looked like she was just back in the thick of

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_01]: it.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_01]: It's too soon, man.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It's too soon.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So that...

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's crazy to me.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_01]: His aunt's house is basically a B&B.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: The thing is huge.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's huge.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Massive.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: There's not another bathroom or another bedroom?

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, there's a share?

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That's...

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't have many...

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, what's?

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But the fact that that house has, I guess, two working bathrooms in it is crazy.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It's concerning or maybe they're just playing games here.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe she did it on purpose or she's like, we're getting them together.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_01]: No way around it.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_01]: So just a little...

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, not even an explanation, I don't think, about why they're not using another bathroom.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Was Bryson shoveling a pile of gravel in that house?

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Was he shoved?

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_01]: He was in, like, in the dining room just shoveling a pile as tall as him of just rough gravel.

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, where is he shoveling it?

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_01]: What is that for?

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Or they're way behind schedule if he's shoveling raw gravel in the middle of the living room.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And then just...

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: They keep talking about the deadline, how close they are.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01]: They're five days from Christmas Eve and they're still, like, nonchalant about getting to the stores.

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, these stores are closing down.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, they're not going to have all this stuff that you need.

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So...

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But I guess that's the classic Christmas show.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: HomeGoods, I believe, is always open.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Open late.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Open late.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_01]: HomeGoods is where we should go.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_02]: What about if I want some Nutella?

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Can I get that at HomeGoods?

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good question.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I've never been in a HomeGoods.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I've literally never been in one.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I've...

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Great store.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a good time.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You should check it out.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_02]: We should do it for the vlog.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been to World Market, which is right next to HomeGoods.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I've been to World Market a number of times.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You should check out HomeGoods.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been to Marshalls.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Similar.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Whenever we do our...

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Similar.

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: My kids are watching Harry Potter right now.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They have a bunch of Harry Potter candies at the World Market.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_02]: We go and get it to watch the movie.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_02]: How about that?

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So there you have it.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_02]: How about that?

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Sounds like a business expense.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm using a business credit card.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing to worry about.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on.

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_02]: For the Harry Potter party.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Why even have it if I'm not going to use it for Harry Potter movie party with my children?

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Wait until you hear what the rest of the board thinks about that.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I have a couple...

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Over the years, we've seen a lot of Hallmark does weird things with video calls where

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_03]: it's like this, but that.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But what I've never seen is something that I noticed in this movie where the first conversation

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_03]: that Sal and...

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_03]: What's her name?

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose, yeah.

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Have in this movie is over the phone.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_03]: She's like this.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_03]: He has it down on speaker.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And when they hang up, it says video call ended.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Which was interesting.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it's just...

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a glitch.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just a glitch in the system.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a glitch.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_03]: The phone was just like...

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_03]: The matrix glitched.

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Every call is a video call if you want it to be, so let's just say it and then we'll

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_03]: be good to go.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Another sound effect situation.

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_03]: The branch...

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03]: ...falling in this movie.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Wild.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_03]: That branch might still be falling to this day.

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_03]: You can still hear it.

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_03]: All that ice cracking.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It was tough.

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a big branch.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Big sounds.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Big week.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Big week.

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Dano?

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Wes Brown's wearing a face mask in this movie, which great.

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Good for him to moisturize, bro.

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's on the outside of that bathroom door and he knocks on the door.

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And then when he walks into the door, that face mask transforms into a different face mask.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Like the lighting or something.

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It is.

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a different...

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's...

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_02]: They film the scene separately.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And it doesn't look anywhere near the same.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's one of these things that's so glaring.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_02]: In a movie that doesn't, quite frankly, have a lot of inconsistencies, this one makes up

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_02]: for a lot of them because you see a close-up of Wes Brown with that mask on.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Then he opens the bathroom door and it is like he has changed into a different...

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a different day.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Different face mask.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And it takes you out of the movie.

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a new day.

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_02]: New dawn.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a mask.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_02]: He's feeling a mask.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He gets four hot coffees to take to work and then he sees his ex and decides to sit down

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and give her a counseling session.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, these are warm.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You want to...

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just kill her.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, between...

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Brian, I would say this.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Very...

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We go about it very differently.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But Brian and I, both coffee snobs.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And we like coffee a very specific way.

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I was dying on the inside for those coffees.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I've thought about it multiple times.

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I just can't...

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: It's distracting.

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You just either have to commit to being the guy...

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: There's probably whipped cream on those, too.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't say that.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't say that.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Those are the specials.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You can't say that.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I just...

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_02]: If you're going to be the guy that brings the coffee, you can't be the guy that also

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_02]: sits for a 15-minute conversation.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It just...

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'd rather not have coffee.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah.

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Just throw it at his shirt.

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned this in your hot take.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the worst misunderstanding of the year.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Who at the coffee shop getting the coffee...

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Those coffees are getting warm.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They get...

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Either you have someone that gives no information aside from I'll take my coffee or they know

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_02]: the person and they give all the information.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Who knows someone just enough to go, this is for my ex.

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_02]: This is for my ex.

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And what was the...

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember the line, but like, it's just enough to be confusing.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, getting back together with my ex or something, trying to get back with my ex.

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_02]: The rest of this movie, you know, I don't know if Danny's listening or not, but as a

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_02]: writer of his first Hallmark movie, Danny did an excellent job of, one, making it funny

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and, two, making a movie that doesn't have a lot of plot holes.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_02]: This line reeks of...

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_02]: He had something else in the script and they needed to short circuit it to get it where

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: they needed to go because it doesn't read like the rest of the script.

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, who talks like that at a coffee shop?

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And says it loud enough for three people back.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_02]: This is for me and my ex.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Wink, wink.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, my ex, these two coffees.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It was tough.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It was really hard to watch that scene and for Ashley Green to have to act it was also tough

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_02]: because like, she's in a tough spot there.

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody would do that.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It just, it didn't make any sense.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's all I got.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It's over with the Hallmarkers.

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We wonder what could have been.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe have it given some clarity.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Any questions that we still have?

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_03]: What are we still wondering about?

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the big question right now.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian, what are you still wondering about?

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So they were doing this for the principal, right?

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Who I assume was like an important figure in this community, which they sort of like,

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_01]: they insinuate a little bit and they little mentions about here and there, but I kind

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_01]: of wanted more of that.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I feel like there was a big emotional aspect to this story that just wasn't touched

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: upon, wasn't really expounded upon, wasn't really put into this overall story.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It was just like how much this principal meant to this community, why they're doing this

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_01]: for the principal.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, because to me, it's like renovating this house, you can, it's almost like, yeah,

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01]: whatever.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But if the principal's a really important person, then you care about them, then you

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: want them to finish the house.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And so it was a little part that, yeah, I was like, I kind of wish they dug into that

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_01]: a little bit more.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I would just like to visit this roller skating rink.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_03]: That was awesome.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_03]: First of all, great roller skating rink.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And they did have stuff in the middle of the rink, but I imagine that they had some sort

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_03]: of battery powered situation.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_03]: No cords.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's going around.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Very respectful.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Very respectful.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_03]: But also while that's going on, we got Christmas karaoke.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure did.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And this place just sounds wonderful.

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think it's something that we should consider opening roller skating rink slash karaoke

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_03]: bar.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that'd be a big hit, big smash hit.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Even though there's a lot of great spots here in Greenville, it is missing a roller skating

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_03]: rink slash karaoke bar.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, two roller skating rinks in Greenville have been there since time beginning.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Take them out of business.

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_03]: They're due for a shakeup.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Due for a shakeup.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Good for a shakeup.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_01]: They're due for a shake.

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They're good for it, too.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_02]: They are good for it, too.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_02]: We're good for it.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Mine was the Sal and Jake not kissing at the end, and I think we've covered that plenty.

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think we're good there.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Aaron, is this your favorite movie of the year?

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So far, yes.

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You've not seen a bunch, but yes.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say, so over the last week and a half, I listened to both of Danny's books on audio.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think just finishing his Christmas book and going into this movie, like reading his books,

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, Danny and I would be really good friends.

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Like we kind of grew up around the same things.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of things that he mentions in his book, I'm like, yes, I remember this from my childhood.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I really wanted this toy when I was a kid.

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And so going right into this, it just felt like I already knew Danny really well.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I got to see this voice that I've been hearing for a week and a half.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I got to see it on the screen.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen Chiefs or Christmas Quest or Finish Line yet.

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, changes could happen.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But right now, I enjoyed this one the most.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Wes Brown and Ashley Green were great.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I've already seen it twice.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I watched it twice.

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Did we get anything you want to correct?

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, what was it on PTI when they sent it to the...

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_03]: What are we doing here?

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's her favorite movie.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's her favorite movie.

[00:36:34] Okay.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And I feel like it's important.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like Stat Boy.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Stat Boy.

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess in the future for Deck the Walls 2, more Nutella, obviously.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just going to stand by my opinion that I don't think they should have kissed at the end.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I think there was some disagreement in the chat on that.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I just think if you spend 30 plus years of your life thinking this guy hated you because you were gay,

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: overnight you're not kissing him.

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you can be...

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You can understand that there is something there,

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_00]: but I think it's a lot to put that trauma aside and be like,

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_00]: all right, we're lovers now.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: No, you're not.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you need to work on that.

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_00]: So him saying, do you want to come inside and get to know each other better?

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was great.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Give me Deck the Walls 2.

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for it.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I think...

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Danny, if you're listening, Deck the Walls 2.

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that that's...

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_00]: The answer would never.

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I like that.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_02]: The answer.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_00]: The answer, I need Deck the Walls 2.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I hear constantly, like, adults, like, kissing is not a big deal.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I think that was my thing is that I guess in a hallmark world, a kiss in a hallmark world would be a big step for someone that thought they were being bullied.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I guess in real life, I don't know, you know.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: But also, I think it's just the fact that, and we've said it, we said in the preview episode, there's just been a dearth of content that we thought we would get this year.

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He did it.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_02]: That helps push forward something that we need to see, which is inclusivity and representation.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We just don't have enough of it.

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I agree.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And for most of the movie, like, when I just thought that this was a guy he didn't like, I was like, yeah, they're going to end up together.

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And then when I found out there was a bullying component, and when I found out Danny's character had thought it was because he was gay, I was like, yeah, maybe we should, you know, work through that a little bit before we just say, oh, it's okay.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_00]: It's fair.

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_00]: It's fair, everyone.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what we're trying to say, and we're going to be back tomorrow.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: So now they were trying to say, I'm loving this voice.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_03]: With the finish line.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, cool.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: That's tomorrow.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_03]: We should have put it last.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_03]: So we could have done a whole, like, we're going to the finish line.

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_03]: But we didn't.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's tomorrow.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Next year.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Big week.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a big week.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Come on back tomorrow.

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, believe in Christmas is last.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Finish line Friday, right?

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Believe in Christmas is last this week because you don't believe in Christmas.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, come on.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I kicked it to you.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You love it.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Kick him while he's down.

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll be back tomorrow.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Until then, we first wish you a Merry Christmas.
