[00:06:23] That looks silly Okay That's more than I needed Well you're saying that Vampires aren't a thing anymore Vampires are still a thing People still like vampires You pointed that out by By telling me A tertiary character from Spider-Man He's in a Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Tertiary Tertiary Tertiary Hey, third isn't always that bad Dan Over there Let me ask you this Let me ask you this Dan Which apartment did the Spoiler alert The other two Spider-Men come into Ned's

[00:06:54] Tertiary At best Spoiler alert I repeat Are those children glasses? So no, I just have a large head Those would swallow me alive Uh Try them on Dude, try them on Right over the top Oh man, let's see Oh yeah This guy's going to see his first 3D movie with his parents You know what I like about these Is

[00:07:23] I got them connected to my Bluetooth And I'm listening to music while I do this Wow, are you doing it right now? Yeah, right now What's playing? Uh It's an unreleased track An unreleased track From Tanner From Tanner's band Tanner's band She's getting ready to release the third Burke in her Vampire's Third Burke in the Vampire's favorite And is going to head on tour Uh

[00:07:51] She's getting a call from her mom That is like Hey, Grandpa Uh Was so excited about his pumpkin spice latte that he drove through the front of the cafe Drove his car straight to the front of this cafe He's gotta have his pumpkin spice latte and his pops So, she decides she's gonna run on home to What is it? Autumn Autumnboro Autumnboro Autumnboro Autumnboro To check on him We find out that

[00:08:19] the family owns a store called Pump called Pumpkin Everything And that Grandpa wanted Amy to take over the store after she went to business school which he was gonna pay for But when Amy decided she was gonna write instead he withdrew his offer to pay for school She agrees All above board, guys It's all above board Yeah, that's right She agrees to help Grandpa run some errands

[00:08:48] so that he can prepare for the Foliage Fest The Foliage Fest Foliage Fest Can we be honest though? Full Foliage It should be Foliage because it's fall Fall, yeah, yeah, yeah Fall Foliage To keep pushing this lie that it's Foliage is Absurd Foliage Fest And so he's gotta get some stuff going on Obviously Pumpkin Everything is a staple when it comes to the Foliage Fest

[00:09:17] So you gotta get ready They got the scarecrow building competition Etc She starts talking about her book and Grandpa gets grumpy He does not like vampires vampires Although I do think he would like Ned from Spider-Man's new show about vampires on the sci-fi network Because he's not a vampire at first He becomes one He looks silly They arrive at Pumpkin Everything

[00:09:47] and she bumps into Kit from Knight Rider An old friend from high school very clearly have some sparks Grandpa says that they were inseparable as children Let's see if they can unseparate Are you okay? They pick back up right where they left off They start talking Kit opens up about how you know his nice car that talked left

[00:10:16] and how he's had a tough time after his mom passed away and he turned to the bottle and was able to overcome that and now he helps out of Pumpkin Everything he's kind of running the show Amy is trying to convince her grandpa that it's time to hang up the pumpkin hat in regards to Pumpkin Everything it's time to move on you're getting older you're driving your car into coffee shops

[00:10:46] you should not be running a store anymore so she decides the way to convince him to give it all up is to use the bait of radio DJ if you stop with Pumpkin Everything you can be a radio DJ Whoa! there is one caveat here you do have to live in a home

[00:11:15] they don't have radio DJs that aren't in a retirement community there's nothing we can do they have one rule for this radio station radio DJs must be in a retirement home that sounds like one of the ones we advertise for here at Deck the Hallmark come on man those are all above board but when he finds out that he's got to be a resident in order to play radio he's like hard pass I'm going to keep doing Pumpkin Everything Amy gets a call from her manager one day that she's going to be on

[00:11:44] hey! good day! but she gets sad though at the thought of leaving she's going to go on hey good day and she's going to then have to go on tour and like she's kind of like enjoying being home so she comes up with an idea I'm going to convince hey good day to come here to Pumpkin Everything and they do and it's a big success she is crushing it in this interview and for the first time ever grandpa says to himself huh

[00:12:14] she's kind of running her own business as an author kind of like a brand if you will so he's finally proud of his granddaughter they're talking about that on the porch and she walks away she comes back he is cold knocked out on the ground Draymond Green came over punching right in the old face

[00:12:43] and he's down on the ground so they go to the hospital turns out apparently he was changing the light bulb but because he only had one one good how many grand pops does it take to change the light bulb he fell down hurt himself got a couple of like cracked ribs didn't sound good but he's going to be okay but he starts to realize that he can't keep doing it all right can't keep driving through coffee shops

[00:13:12] and changing light bulbs and reading vampire and you know doing that like I can't keep doing all this so he decides that I know who would be good to take over since nobody in my family is going to take over my family business and could carry on my you know everything I've done in my life yeah Kit Knight Rider Knight Rider can do it so because he knows that Kit is just has no money

[00:13:41] he gives Kit the money needed to put down the down payment it's cyclical he gives him his money gives him his money to give back to him it's like as if you like wrote a check and you guys are exchanging those checks yes yeah so Kit is like wow wow wow wow wow Amy has to go on her tour and she gets a call she's on she's doing things going to Boston etc gets a call from her manager

[00:14:11] and is like hey got a new stop so you're going to Autumnboro so she goes back she shows up apparently she's been booked to go to Pumpkin everything can you believe it? unbelievable unbelievable what are the odds? she sees Kit there I think she's like this is gonna let's give this a thing maybe I'm gonna live here now I'm gonna keep writing vampire books but the most important things everybody is that they kiss big ones

[00:14:39] and Pumpkin is freaking everywhere and that my friends was Pumpkin everything we did it we did do it everybody we're gonna take a quick break we're gonna be right back we're gonna break this movie down with four segments here on Deck the Hallmark baby what's up y'all welcome back to Deck the Hallmark we're talking about Pumpkin everything

[00:15:09] the first no the seventh fall movie 10th it's been going since August yeah I think it's deep yeah I don't know 11th? yeah it's up there it's double digits I think wow anywho certainly isn't the first one but did it feel like it? let's find out Brian what did you think? we're gonna start with a hot take I'm gonna start with you you have been steadily rising on the hot charts which is the chart

[00:15:38] which is the chart that kind of tracks hot takes oh okay I don't have a subscription to this so it's good to hear it's good to hear it's black market it's just another thing you've locked me out of that's uh it's good to hear okay Brian as if what do you think about Pumpkin everything so this one I really like this one a lot and I did not know I mean the characters in this were a lot of fun I did not know that I absolutely love Taylor Cole I didn't realize you didn't realize that

[00:16:08] I didn't realize it until just until this was the movie that you were like oh Taylor Cole I have okay but just for some reason falling for you Taylor Cole Tyler Hines you've seen that one podcaster yep oh that was a podcast one okay radio but I think she wants to break into podcast I don't know it's 2018 there's no way it was podcast on Hallmark but that oh yeah that's not bad but this one really did it for me and I had a great time with Taylor Cole and I didn't expect the curveball

[00:16:37] of like the mortality element you know feeling people people growing being able to die yeah like decisions being taken away I'm sure you see in these movies people being immortal usually I there's never a dead like father or mother or anything everybody's alive superhero level that's right most people are at least 230 in these movies but the in the power struggle you know it comes with the mortality and that that that I don't know they did it well like it was kind of sad but they did it really well

[00:17:05] but this movie struck a chord mostly because I had been looking for a fall themed book to start reading and get into the fall fields and when I saw on the screen what who you told me you haven't been looking like a novel that's all things yeah this is what you do sometimes do you read like seasonal seasonal absolutely you don't do seasonally reading I can't I know can't do it brand you got a seasonally read don't even okay so they

[00:17:36] so while he while he is slowly brick by brick dismantling everything people love about Panda you saw me like that Panda blanket on fire didn't you I didn't think anybody saw that but this but this this is you bought the book this is based on a book pumpkin everything which I was psyched when I saw that I was like this is what I've been looking for I literally bought the book sitting on the couch when this movie started and turns out the author's from Massachusetts Wow

[00:18:04] so you knew she was authentic Fall Central I don't know if you know this Greenville, South Carolina one of the top 12 CNN one of the top 12 best fall places I've heard in the world so don't say Fall Central Massachusetts don't come into like the east at least the east coast fall capital of the world I don't know CNN and then some people don't listen to CNN's lists of stuff I don't know some people don't listen to I'm not saying I knew it don't

[00:18:34] I'm just saying it's CNN Brian yeah they got some cred but according to you know me second chair second chair watching a fall movie that's right reading the book by Beth Labonte is her name FYI little shout out uh Fall Central Northeast so this did it for me bottom line how's the book great great this is one of those cases where I can say authentically the book's better than the movie wow and he liked the movie and I did like the movie this book must be out of this world

[00:19:02] it's fall everywhere it's pumpkin everywhere I mean is it really called pumpkin everything it's called pumpkin everything and the cover of the book ironically no pumpkins on it but kind of looks more fall than the movie poster of this movie wow that's impressive so yeah I'm not done yet so I can't spoil it for anybody thankfully because I would spoil that thing as fast as I could yeah yeah yeah big spoiler how different is it from the movie it's a little different like the mother is not in the same town in the book she lives far away wow in Philly Kit is a truck driver wow

[00:19:32] a tow truck driver oh no so there's some definite differences oh no are you anti tow truck driver you guys know that about me you know that you don't like anything tow truck drivers I like truck drivers I think tow truck drivers it's just tough I hack no no no no no no no no I if you're one of the good ones then I'm on board with these he's one of the good ones there's I have been taken for a ride they're supposed to take you they take you for a ride that's what they do

[00:20:00] I've been ripped off you've been ripped off by a tow truck driver who was it it was clammy clammy clammy's not even like licensed I don't think it's close so maybe it was on me no way I really enjoyed this one as well boy did it deliver on the fall folks it did it deliver on the fall I think what I love the most about this is just how grumpy grandpa was old iron slides they let iron slides

[00:20:29] they let iron slides slide his way fully into grumpville and I was here for it lots of times we have like an occasional grump moment but this was pretty steady grump and I really did enjoy that I really loved pumpkin everything the store I really liked kit and Taylor Cole's character together I enjoyed them there's nothing bad about this

[00:20:59] there's also nothing overly life changing or groundbreaking or overall exciting about this movie but if you want fall vibes and you want to have a good time and you want to just kind of chill I would fully recommend pumpkin everything thank you Dan? back to you I don't know what movie you guys watched I don't know I understand that there are orange leaves in frame

[00:21:28] I understand that there are pumpkins in frame everything pumpkin everything this is not a good movie guys it just isn't this is a movie where a very successful woman comes home and gets blamed that her grandfather's old that's what happens in this movie she comes home a successful author and they're like why'd you let your grandpa get old? how dare you? he's old now do you see he's old? have you seen that wrist? he's old and you let him get old

[00:21:57] because you went and wrote a book how dare you? how dare you get successful while your grandpa gets old? all you had to do was stay here and he would have stayed young but you didn't so he got old that is what this movie is Michael Ironsides too good for this movie he is great Michael Ironsides is great this movie's a mess it doesn't hold water the injury doesn't hold water while she's getting blamed doesn't hold water the store doesn't hold water it's in a what looks like a church building like it's a brick

[00:22:27] it's not even an orange building it's a brick building this was trying to take advantage of the fact that we saw nine straight movies with no fall in it and so whatever they put on screen as long as it threw up autumn everywhere people are going to give your reactions and they did not a good movie good scenery yes good movie no sorry not sorry man you you're a stinker I'm a stinker kind of that okay he did say the words but you know what you know what

[00:22:57] tow truck drivers out there tow truck drivers of America I support you I have your back I've been supporting the tow truckers since I can remember nobody supports the tow truckers like I do nobody does nobody supports them like I do Brad on the other hand you got those receipts Brad on the other hand he's he's out to lunch on you that's not what I ain't which part Trace the part where you support tow truck drivers really I got the audio do you really gosh not that time can I tell you something

[00:23:25] I respect every profession but there's one profession that not great Brandon you've been saying it for years notaries well yeah and tow truck drivers oh well yes yeah exactly we're on lockstep here and it's not because I had a bad experience I was just I just saw one and I was like ah screw that guy oh my god you guys shouldn't be talking like this in the office yeah probably not Trace sometimes records it when did Brian get involved in this conversation oh hey guys I've been here the whole time all right Trace I think that was Brian pretending to be me

[00:23:55] he does a great Dan impression he does I am a I'm pro tow truck driver I don't know what to tell you it's time for all the feels spry guy yeah what you got dude freaking battle of the feels for me in this battle of the feels freaking battle of the feels man the author like you mentioned it the author being taken seriously as a business like the author yeah as a business a small business I don't think she's an independent author but okay she's definitely the author of the book

[00:24:24] the movie that's based this movie is based on as an independent author so that being that whole an author as a business is really cool the nice I really like that fake out the injury ankle fake out when they did that little race I don't know if you're it was a really small part but she pretended she had an injury and when that happened I was like here we go again fake injury and she literally was her faking him out so he could beat him in the race and I'm like that's a great move when she stepped on the loose step on her grandfather's stairs and he said oh yeah I got a repair for that

[00:24:53] just don't don't step on it and I thought that was really funny that's like your homeowner type of solution like something's broken you just avoid it so I really like I thought that was that was great and obviously the grandfather giving Kit the check for the online sales to help him with the deposit that felt here's the check why not just sell it for that much less I don't know or just give it to him yeah yeah just hand it over yeah he needs the money for the home so he can DJ remember this is a movie you guys liked

[00:25:23] I just want to be very clear you liked it one I've always wanted to be a radio DJ hence Brand's Wednesday Rapid Fire Music Explosion we did a radio class Brand we did a radio class for teenagers I have an online Christmas radio station that runs 24-7 365 that I put hours of work in one time I love it and so the idea of going to the reason that we do this is we both wanted to be on the radio as children

[00:25:52] I gotta be honest that is accurate I am already pretty on board with the retirement community I would be open to going there now I do feel like it kind of plays to me like never having to leave but everything I want to do 5pm dinners yes like all inclusive if radio was involved was an option you couldn't keep me away I would throw on a full full grey wig and just move on today to get my opportunity to be on that

[00:26:22] resident only radio station you think it takes a grey wig that's what it would do I am pretty frail at every other aspect so yes you have wanted to dye grey for a long time I know it's all coming together here but also the mom meeting the coffee shop owner slash Andrew Walker's dad for the first time and throwing the mad game gave me all the feels I love that moment it was fantastic her going yes you can show

[00:26:53] me whatever you want or something like that it's great I loved it it was great great moments Dan I mean this is a stretch here but I had just professional actor gravitas feels with Michael Ironside like this dude is either or it's a both hand this dude is such a pro and he has the task of trying to bring gravitas to scenes that just don't deserve any I mean him breaking down crying over the fact that she wanted to do what she wanted to do in college

[00:27:21] like I don't know what to tell you that shouldn't work because he's a monster but he makes that kind of stuff play because he's a better actor than you normally see in these roles normally get some Canadian guy who's serviceable but they don't even make him try to do something like this but Michael Ironside is out there to play and so it was fun to see him try to bring some sort of heft to this even though there was no heft to be found let's take a quick break we'll be right back here on deck the hallmark on WTTY

[00:27:53] prospector plastics the sponge welcome back so what happened there exactly I don't know I'm done trying to figure this out we gotta say it but that time we didn't say it at once I know I was letting you guys get it out of your system what did you say plastics yeah yeah I had plastics he was closer it's the sponge it's not it's old prospector you think it's WTTY old prospector

[00:28:22] yeah you heard the voice that wasn't me it was almost like iron slide s it was iron slide s it's time for wait what it's part of the show we talk about what in this movie minutes ago wait what Brian I had not two hardly any to find yeah in this movie it's airtight out there at the beginning the town is fully decked out in fall decorations and the grandfather is just now having his first pumpkin latte of the season like okay you know you would not be just pouring down

[00:28:52] your first one of the season and the scarecrow contest like what scarecrow contest there was they did this thing where they're stuffing the scarecrows and somebody points and says you win I thought that was a cool idea for a contest make as many as you possibly can let's line them all up take a look at them not enough contest nothing not enough building assembling and when you said what scarecrow contest you were saying there should have been more of them and it should have been longer that's what I mean more of a contest more of an actual no you don't that's tough for you

[00:29:21] if I swear to you I swear to you Brian Harold if we do a movie with a snowman building contest and you want that scene to be longer things are going to be thrown they're going to be thrown there's something I can do about that but you didn't want to get a look at the scarecrows and what they look like god no what is this I mean they went through all the work of having the clothes and stuff sure is that it that's all there is a a worrisome amount

[00:29:50] or lack of discussion about grandpa driving the car through the coffee shop there's none there's none grandpa drove his car through a coffee shop window as if it's just another Tuesday over a curb there is listen this is almost as bad as Godwink it is almost said in passing yes like that's how little it's talked about it was up there with the Godwink scene when I saw it I couldn't believe what I just saw

[00:30:20] like and what was the one line they gave it that he says something ridiculous like oh honey I just I saw something and I just yeah he waved to somebody and the next thing you know yeah I couldn't believe I thought for sure we were going to get more information we were going to get more information like and there's look they never say he has early onset anything he just drove through he drove through the plate glass window on a coffee shop over a curb yep yeah that means you have to be revving revving that engine up going over that curb

[00:30:50] yeah how bad how bad was that pumpkin spice latte sheesh not enough pumpkin I said pumpkin everything everything speaking of pumpkin everything when they're walking up to pumpkin everything for the first time he says I believe he says believe it or not this is our busiest season which I'm like I believe that I still call pumpkin everything I would indeed believe I do believe that that's it convinced me yes

[00:31:18] and as much as I loved this this radio station it is a wait what it is a radio station that gets played at town square without anybody's blessing everybody has to listen to this radio station that is solely by seniors for seniors is what they say they have to live in a home they have to live I mean that's the what the homework of the year yeah I guess it is probably more of what the homework but just

[00:31:47] I heard the premise of it and I'm like I don't hate it but I am I am a little bit confused by it but I also love it at the same time a lot of feelings for me and last is the general passing of money here is the money from the online sales from last month and also you're gonna get next month so that you can put a down payment to buy my shop from me the bank is gonna need to see

[00:32:17] good faith amount of money and so it was like 9,700 some dollars and then he said next month it's gonna be the biggest so let's say he's got 20 grand and he's gonna put that down as a down payment with the bank my issue there is that to buy that building if 20,000 is enough for a down payment then things are not going well at Pumpkin Everything is he buying the building or is he buying the business I would assume the business owns the building but that's why the bank's involved but I don't know we've never sold

[00:32:47] a business if you're interested in buying Dick the Hallmark reach out it comes with a black spooky Christmas season sweater it does that's right so it's worth $55 what do you got Dano this wrist injury look I know it's Hallmark and we play fast and loose with any injury first of all to Brand's point he goes curb hopping and goes through a coffee shop window and he sprains his wrist now this sprained wrist

[00:33:16] is different than any other sprained wrist I've ever seen does he get a cast no does he get an elbow sling yes does an elbow sling help a wrist no it doesn't but that's what they do can we get the guy an air cast we can't put his elbow in a sling why did he hurt his elbow no did he hurt his shoulder absolutely not he hurt his wrist that wouldn't help him at all but the doctor is so concerned about this sprained wrist that not only does he give him not a cast and an elbow sling

[00:33:46] but he says he has to come back in a week what is he going to do hit it with a hammer like it's already bad guys you don't put a sprained wrist and an elbow sling you don't do it they act like this is the end of the world and then literally 10 minutes later he's carrying a bag with that wrist and then 30 minutes later he raises up his other hand when he says my wonky wrist so wrist can't use it can't use it oh my god my wrist 10 minutes later holding a bag

[00:34:15] 20 minutes later my wonky wrist over here there is zero consistency with one of the lamest injuries of all time um michael ironside is maybe 70 years old why are we trying to put him in a home so badly why look look dan did you miss it he drove through a coffee shop window but if the guy loves what he's doing at work why are we trying to put him in a home

[00:34:45] why and speaking of which maybe you know why they're trying to put him home because he's a terrible grandfather sweetie i'll pay for all your college you don't worry about it you don't want to come back and run my pumpkin shop you don't want to come back and run my pumpkin shop you want to do your own thing stand on your own merits follow your passion i'm not writing you a check and then they still somehow have a relationship i don't know how that's possible at one point he's trying to explain how much the pumpkin store means to him to his granddaughter and he

[00:35:18] put passion in a book or a movie yeah yeah you can yeah writers that's what they do movie makers i promise you that's that is how that works someone in this movie i believe it's cory sevee who is severe i don't know severe it's a severe weather warning cory sevee maybe d or e on the call sheet in this movie like the romance is maybe the c storyline or d storyline like it's way down the list i think

[00:35:48] when sevee and uh and taylor cole together i think he says this line well we'll always be where we need to be right no yeah no yeah huh what if you have an appointment across town and you're stuck in traffic there's a reason why i'm there always always that is absurd no no i you think you're always where you need to be if you choose to look for if you choose to believe that yeah you need to be home so your

[00:36:18] wife can go to work and you got the kids but you're not there on time would your wife say you're where you need to be no but i think in the grand scheme of things there may have been a reason for you to be there good lord you don't believe that i believe that there are times i need to be where i need to be that is basic there's a difference you can believe in fate all you want but believing that you need to be somewhere and you're not there is a part of life we've all experienced

[00:36:47] i think both can be true i think you can be not be where you're supposed to be and also be exactly where you need to be okay yeah agree to disagree i see what you're saying agree to disagree uh the woman that runs the home and the dj's radio station did she like watch the turtles from finding nemo in preparation for this role i've seen her in other movies and she's normal and in this movie she's a weird fall movie surfer

[00:37:17] dude yeah and it's a wild experience i don't know what what's what's happening there i just know i wasn't prepared for it uh in the slightest um and that's all i got uh it's time for what the hallmark spars show you wonder what could have been maybe happening some clarity questions we still have brian yeah so the the house his house and the store i'm pretty sure they were the same building and they just probably they just probably yeah reverse so obviously i took a picture of the scenes of the and compared them on

[00:37:46] my my for myself for my own mental sanity there and i'm pretty sure it's the same building so i'd just like to know if i'm right in that but i'm pretty sure i'm right and is there a worse uh street snack than a caramel apple because they grab one of those and just did a little walk and talk eating a caramel apple and that just seems like a nightmare don't you think you said it bud you know yeah yeah okay uh i never like talking about age but

[00:38:17] sometimes you have to and i just want to know was there ever a conversation about making the mom and grandpa just like not mom and grandpa i found it to be one of the most distracting things in this movie to say that that guy was that much older than the mom to be able to be his the father taylor cole and michael ironside are maybe 40 years apart if i'm being generous is

[00:38:46] probably 35 years apart total so for for there to be a generation in between them i mean everybody had their kids when they were 18 years old basically but we see mom like we see mom like mom and ironside are around the same age right i thought for sure that that was grandma and grandpa yes yes i would say she's probably 60 he's probably 70 at best like best case i i was i why do it why why if you if you like the casting that

[00:39:16] much just make the change right because for me it was distracting and i both of them did a wonderful job and they both look great and i just want to make sure that that's abundantly clear i was just distracted by them trying to convince me that that's the mom was ironside's daughter right yeah was it just me no no you're 100 okay i mean and taylor cole and michael ironside are 34 years apart that's it wow so there's that um my what the hallmark goes back

[00:39:46] to the crashing through the coffee shop window for a few reasons one is is i don't feel like you can accidentally do that i i feel like that is on purpose somewhere another maybe not on purpose i hate this guy but you're trying to do something else purposefully and it ended up you took a big risk and messed up there's no way to be driving and do that but my bigger one is the coffee shop owner tries to basically extort grandpa to pay him the money which is

[00:40:15] weird because of all the things grandpa would have car insurance would be one of them yeah so that whole like where did we get that whole plot line when if you crash through a coffee shop window your car insurance company's paying the damages like that's no one grandpa's not saying hey this wasn't my fault the coffee shop jumped out and got me like it's he everyone's on board there so that plot line i didn't quite understand how it made any sense he also what was

[00:40:43] at the coffee shop before it happened that's right like he did it once around the block once around the block to really gear things up yeah to go to go go through it yeah that's exactly right we did everybody congratulations wow boy howdy i'm ready for ready for falls here and we're ready for it yeah uh we got when goes to heart tomorrow we've got a mid love crisis on friday what a week it's been and what a week it's gonna be yep until next time maybe the first to wish you a
