[00:00:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, I'm Brian and I love Christmas preview shows. I'm Brian, I like Christmas preview shows. I'm Alonso. Preview, preview, preview. I'm Jackson. I'm having a great time with Hallmark Christmas Preview Shows. I'm Patrick Serrano and I'm waiting for lifetime previews. I'm Ryan. We really, really need to talk about the cream situation. I'm Dan and this intro is as long as the episode and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.

[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_06]: The Hallmark, it's this podcast. And Friends host this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. This is it. You okay? Yeah. I got my chair. You were just moving it all around there. You know, a lot of people are saying, the people are saying, a lot of people are saying, hey guys, you're going to be together tomorrow. Why are you doing this virtually? And it's a good question. It is so weird that the night before,

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_07]: we decided to all get together to watch Hallmark movies for the better part of 30 hours that we got together remotely to preview the last half of those movies. And I think, Ryan, you said it best. You had a really, you said it best. There's a real good reason for this. What was it, Ryan?

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, the, when we went spelunking that one time, we just thought that it made sense to do it this way.

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It was, listen, you never plan while spelunking.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It was better the first time you said it, but yeah, that's the gist.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_05]: We're going to go in clean.

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_06]: That's true.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Belay on.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_06]: We're really excited about the marathon tomorrow.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we are.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_06]: And hopefully you'll join us for it.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_06]: You're going to want to do that.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's going to be a lot of fun.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be the best.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_06]: We're going to do a draft.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_07]: We're going to draft these movies, these Hallmark movies.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_07]: The ones that we're talking about?

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_07]: We're drafting the movies.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_07]: And then based upon our rankings throughout the year, ratings of the movies, that will determine the winner of the Deck the Hallmark draft.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_07]: And there's a big prize.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Big prize.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm serious.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know what it is yet, but I'm open to suggestions.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_07]: I think we're going to figure it out by tomorrow.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_07]: I think we're going to figure it out by tomorrow.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm willing to spend some money on it.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_07]: So you guys tell me what you think would be a good prize.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_07]: A pony.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_07]: We don't have pony money.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_05]: What about Holiday Crocs?

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Kylie Minogue tickets.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_07]: What about Kylie Minogue tickets?

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_07]: That's a good one.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Fees included.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Patrick's on the fence there.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_07]: You're like, I guess.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_07]: That's fine.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Are you anti-Kylie?

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Patrick?

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm cool.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she has a sister, too, guys.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't forget.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Cheryl Minogue.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Of course.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Who could forget?

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Who's her sister?

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Danny Minogue.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Danny Minogue.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Cheryl's like Peggy Schuyler.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_07]: You don't remember her, but she's there.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_07]: And Cheryl.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_07]: I heard Danny was adopted.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Personally.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_06]: But again, that's either here nor there.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_06]: We did a lot last time.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we did.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_07]: We got less this time, but we're previewing them.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_07]: We got candy canes and Christmas trees and creams and all the other things that start

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_07]: with C.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Some of us have creams.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_07]: And some of us don't.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_07]: And we're not going to talk about it.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_07]: But producer Aaron Shea is going to give us a quick recap of where we stand on the number

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_07]: of creams and stream creams, which are different.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Very different.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Each of us have.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_08]: All right.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_08]: First off, everyone still has one stream cream.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_08]: So Ryan.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Locked and loaded.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_08]: Got it.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_08]: One stream cream, buddy.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_04]: One stream cream.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

[00:03:44] Yeah.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_08]: Dan, you have four creams left.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly where I want to be right now.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Are you trying to retire with them, Dan?

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Can't take them with you.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm a real cream.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a long winter, you know.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The last check's going to bounce.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Ryan, Brandon, you have three creams left.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_07]: That's more reasonable.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Do it.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_07]: It should be.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_07]: We got the Thanksgiving week coming up, guys.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Alonzo, Jax, Patrick.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Four creams.

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_07]: You guys get it.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Wow.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_07]: That's a lot of cream.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, thank you so much.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, we didn't give them.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_07]: You earned them.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Ryan, buddy.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, air.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_08]: You have two creams left, buddy.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Can we talk about this real quick?

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_08]: We can.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_04]: No, real quick.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I know, but it's late.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_04]: But real quick.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I think you are.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_07]: You have 10 seconds to say whatever you want to say before we say no.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Go.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Can I rescind my cream on the Christmas charade?

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You may not.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a premature cream.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Five, four, three, two, one.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I was excited.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I was so excited.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I was so scared.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Ryan, it happens to everyone.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_07]: A premature cream is...

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_07]: We're all getting excited this time of year.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_07]: We do.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_07]: There's nothing we can do about that.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_07]: A premature cream happens.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_04]: It just feels like it's the first time I've done it, and you'd want it to be a positive experience.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_04]: What's your first time for a premature cream?

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Wait.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Wait, Ryan.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't think this is your first time for a premature cream.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax!

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax!

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_04]: That was really funny.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It kind of means.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: But also pretty obvious.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_04]: That was great.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Pretty obvious.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_04]: How about we start the show here?

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_07]: So the answer's a no on that.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Premature creams are still creams.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_07]: So there's nothing we can do about that.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_07]: It still matters.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_07]: It still matters.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Happens all the time.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Happens on this show.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Regularly.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll be better next time.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_07]: No, no.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_07]: We've all been there.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_07]: It's fine.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's get to it.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_06]: We're starting with a big one.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Three Wisermen and a Boy.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, this movie, huh?

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_06]: We can all agree it's a bad title, right?

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a terrible title.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Bad title?

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's not a great title.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_06]: November 23rd, 8 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel, starring...

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Apparently, Paul Campbell gets first billing on this one.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Tyler Hines, Andrew...

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_06]: That's alphabetical.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_06]: And Andrew Walker and Margaret Collin.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Nope.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Collin wouldn't be.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_07]: But Campbell, Hines, Walker were.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_07]: But then Collin threw that out.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, she's a woman.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_06]: And so they put her last, apparently.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Great.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks so much to...

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_06]: What is this?

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Entertainment Weekly?

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks so much, Entertainment Weekly.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks, CW.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks for being consistent there.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Here we go.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_07]: The story...

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Holy moly, Holly Goodfellow.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_07]: That is out of bounds.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, my goodness.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_06]: We're not going to talk about that.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_06]: The story begins five...

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Shitty Christmas.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_06]: The story begins five years later.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Five years later?

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_06]: He's a boy now.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he's a boy.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_06]: And I bet...

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I have a feeling that the three wise men will look exactly the same.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe two years older.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_06]: The thing is, is with having a kid around, you don't age at all.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_06]: The story begins...

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Good.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_06]: It's good for you.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_06]: ...five years later with the Brenner brothers preparing for another memorable Christmas.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_06]: And a crazy turn of events, possibly brought on accidentally by the brothers themselves.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_06]: The director of Luke's, played by Walker, son Thomas, played by Miles Marthaller from Round

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_06]: and Round.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_06]: His school holiday musical steps down.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Luke is desperate to make his son's stage dreams come true.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_06]: So he enlists the help of his brother, Taylor, played by Tyler, and Stephen, played by Paul.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Taylor.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Meanwhile, the trio navigates meeting their mom, Barbara's new boyfriend.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_06]: And the brothers grapple with their own feelings about this relationship.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_06]: In true Brenner brother fashion, they are all in for a Christmas they will never forget.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian?

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_03]: There's no reason to hold back on this.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Five Pep Mokes on this bad boy.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Pep Mokes.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what we're doing.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_07]: I forgot.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, it's my Pep Mokes.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_07]: We're doing that for both of them.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Both previous.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Usually we changed.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_07]: No, I think we need to skip.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_07]: You guys don't even care.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Just consistency and professionalism.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I would call it that.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So five Pep Mokes for me, obviously.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Goes without saying.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_06]: You got three creams left.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Not your time.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I sure do.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not your time to cream?

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not my cream time.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Ryan?

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Not my time.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm really interested that this lands on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought it would have been a little closer to the Thanksgiving solstice, but I'm not the schedule maker.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen, the first one was delightful.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure this will be very delightful.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll go four Pep Mokes.

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_04]: In a different life, I would have creamed, but I have my firm.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_04]: A life where you had some.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_04]: You had some.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Right, Sean.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Restraint here right off the gate.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Cream restraint here early on.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So four Pep Mokes, and that's the bottom line.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Like a new man.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Andrew Walker's in it, so I have to cream it.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Duh.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_00]: But there's a lot of red flags in here, you guys.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_00]: A child wanting to be a star on stage?

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: That means kids singing.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't like that.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I do not like that.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, brother, sons having an opinion about their mom dating?

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Mind your business, kids.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a grown-up.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I will date who I want to date.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Okay?

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_09]: My cream.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo?

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I'm of two minds here.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_05]: On the one hand, like the first one was great, and obviously we're, you know, the elements

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: are all back here.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm starting to wonder if this is going to be a, you liked this before thing.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, there's another dance number in this we've seen in the commercials.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_05]: The whole thing with the kids' musical reminds me of the Paul Campbell scripted An Unexpected

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Christmas, where it was really funny and unexpected that they stuck Tyler Hines into

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_05]: a unicorn costume.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_05]: And so it's like, as much as I think this is going to be fun, I just worry that they're

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_05]: sort of falling back on the familiar.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to say four and a cream.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Very nice.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_06]: This is simultaneously one of the more anticipated movies, but I'm also at the same time anticipating

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_06]: being disappointed by this movie.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_06]: It just has all the makings of being a potential disappointment.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_06]: But I'm not going to let that get in the way of me giving this five peppermint mochas.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to go with my anticipation and not with my reservations, and I'm going to

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_06]: pour myself up five peppermint mochas because, listen, we're early on in this episode.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's have fun.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Nope.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_06]: The lack of people creaming this movie is crazy to me.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_06]: You got to hold creams for the unknown.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Amen, brother.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_07]: But also, and I do think...

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_07]: This is a dynamite drop-in from Two Cream over there.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Right.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_07]: That's what I'm going to do.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, a little Two Cream Popola.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Uh, I, uh, I'll say this.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_07]: I think especially around here, we take for granted the first Three Wise Men and a Baby.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_07]: And I think I am more than partially responsible.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_07]: I think that movie is really funny, and I wish it wouldn't have tried to have three love stories

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_07]: in it.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_07]: And I probably gave it too hard a time because it's, if not the funniest, because the

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Holly's probably the funniest, I think it's the second funniest Hallmark movie ever made.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_07]: And I think that the two things that Patrick is pointing out successfully are features,

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_07]: not bugs.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_07]: I think they're going to make jokes about those things.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_07]: And I think they're going to do it better than they did it the first time.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_07]: I also think that if you don't think this is going to be one of the top five movies of the year,

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_07]: with the amount of talent on screen and off, I think you're crazy.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_07]: It's five.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a cream.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a guarantee.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a guarantee.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Wow.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_07]: This movie has such a high floor.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_07]: It is a guarantee.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_07]: The worst version of this movie is still like a five or six of ten, guys.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_07]: It's five pep moats and a cream.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_07]: No questions asked.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_06]: High floors are tough to judge sometimes.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_06]: They are, but also sometimes you can't see over the stage.

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but I was trying to do a thing there.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I don't know.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_07]: I just think we all like, we just took, we watched the first one and we just took for granted

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_07]: it was going to be funny and endearing.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_07]: And we were too, I was too hard on it critically.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_07]: I just was because I just was like, I expected the moon instead of a quality, funny Hallmark movie.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_07]: And they delivered that.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_07]: And so for me, there's no way this movie is outright bad.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Like even Hall of the Holly 2, not as good as one, but still like I laughed a lot.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_07]: There's two or three scenes in there that are worth the movie.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_07]: So you like the movie?

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Dan already decided he liked the movie.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Respect.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Kind of.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Dan previously liked the movie.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Retroactive.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Retroactive.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's get to the next one.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_06]: It's called To Have and to Holiday.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a good title.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I like that one.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a good one.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_06]: On a Hallmark channel, November 24th at 8 p.m.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_06]: It's starring Madeline Arthur Robert Bazucci.

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not Bazucci.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot of things, but it's not Bazucci.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It looks like Bazucci.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Do we got any Bazucci bubblegum out there?

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Bazucci Joe is actually his Italian brother.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Bazucci?

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, I'm Bazucci Joe.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Bazucci.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's Bazucci.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Bazucci would be my guess.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Or Bazucci.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_06]: If I had five chances, I would have gotten there.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Bazucci?

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_06]: By accident, you would have gotten there.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I've got to be honest.

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_06]: I was Eric Close.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Eric Close is the last person.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_06]: That's what I was trying to do.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Bazucci Joe.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_06]: That was really good.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Bazucci.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_06]: When Celeste, played by Arthur, gets engaged to Jason, the Bazucci as we call him around

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_06]: here.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_06]: After just a few months of dating, her father and the couples would-be efficient, Pastor Mark,

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_06]: played by Eric Close, insist on putting them through a pre-wedding boot camp filled with,

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_06]: you know, because it's that type of the year, Christmas-themed challenges.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_06]: As the couple grows stronger through the festive activities, Celeste considers following her dreams

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_06]: in the fashion industry.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Freaking how?

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Meanwhile, Pastor Mark learns to trust his daughter's choices, leading to a heartwarming holiday season

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_06]: for the whole family.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian?

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian?

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Dude, anything coming in after Three Wiser Men and a Boy doesn't stand a chance, so we

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_03]: might as well just throw this one up on the screen, I guess.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not-

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Prime spot here, November 27th.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_07]: 24th.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_03]: 24th.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 24th?

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_03]: The night after Three Wiser Men and a Boy.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the Sunday night before Thanksgiving.

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not a bad airing.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a bad airing.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a really prime spot, actually.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So, I don't-

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_03]: But coming in-

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm just-

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to pump the brakes a little.

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Two and a half peppermint mochas for this one.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Rye guy.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Two cream rye guy.

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Two cream popola.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_06]: There he is.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_04]: They heard Brian just mere seconds ago.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_04]: The plot feels like the guy on TikTok who reviews Seventh Heaven episodes kind of feels

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_04]: like something-

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Love him.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Jack's enjoyed it.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_04]: So great.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to go one pep moak mug and leave it there for everyone to give their thoughts.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick?

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, this movie came out a while ago with Mandy Moore and John Crissey.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_00]: What to do's to wed?

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Robin Williams.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So, like, this premise is definitely a premise I've seen before.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Have I seen Hallmark do it?

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, we could go two mochas on this one, I think.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_00]: That would be fair.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_06]: That would be fair.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm happy, Patrick.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_07]: We're being equitable in this situation.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just happy that we can go ahead and check off that Patrick mentions Mandy Moore off the

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_06]: line.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Very distinctive.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Very different.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: No cream here.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh-uh.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax?

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_09]: This looks like a movie that I would book, like, boring and cheesy, and we're going to

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_09]: give it one peppermint moak.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_09]: You'd be required to talk it up like it's really good.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_09]: And be, like, so earnest.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Because, look, people-

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_09]: And I mean this sincerely.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_09]: People put their hearts and souls and their time on the line.

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sure all these people did this, too.

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_09]: But, yeah.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_09]: We had a great time on set.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_05]: We bought a half.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_09]: We had a great time on set.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_09]: We're like a family.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_09]: We're a family.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_09]: We had a great time on set the cast and crew.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I learned so much about organized religion.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to go, yeah.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Every project that we review is someone's could-have-been-big-break.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_07]: That's what you're trying.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a little sad.

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_07]: But also, at least you see it for what it is, Jack.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_09]: I sure do.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_06]: This could have been my While You Were Sleeping.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_06]: And they didn't get anything after that.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_06]: They didn't get anything.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_09]: They just did that movie and then nothing else.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_07]: That's it.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Those two writers that wrote While You Were Sleeping never wrote another thing.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Can you believe that?

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_09]: Wait, is that true?

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_09]: I actually know that.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_07]: They pitched it around for years.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Thanks for listening to the show, Jack.

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Jack's is so mad she's out of here.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_07]: We reviewed it.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_07]: We talked about it.

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_07]: We go find them.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_07]: And then they made the movie and they were like, we're never doing that again.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_07]: And they just didn't do it.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_09]: Holy moly.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_06]: That's something.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: The movie that they are borrowing from here, as Patrick pointed out, is terrible.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_05]: It's awful.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's actually entirely possible that this could be less bad than that one, but that's

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_05]: as low as bars get.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: This sounds drippy.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't trust Hallmark having a major character who is a clergyman.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Pastor Mark?

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Pastor Mark.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Pastor Mark Driscoll.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_05]: And also, this to me feels like, oh God, we need another Christmas movie.

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Run.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Put the word Christmas in final draft and just add it to the boot camp scenes.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Because this sounds like a movie that should have been like a spring wedding thing or something.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_05]: And it suddenly just became Frankenstein into a holiday movie.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm a zero Pep Mox on this.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, zero.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I gotta be honest.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I said Pastor Mark Driscoll as a joke.

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Now I can't stop thinking about it.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm telling you right now.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_07]: The fact that they have called someone Pastor Mark in this movie.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Imagine if it was Pastor Mark Driscoll just yelling at Buzuki.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Who the hell do you think you are?

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_06]: It'd be awesome.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_06]: That's just for the people out there that know that.

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I am going to go with three and a half.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_06]: So I borderline hate it.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm concerned about this one.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_06]: I gotta be honest with you.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_06]: And he's gonna give it a hate cream if you can believe it.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_06]: That is a hate cream.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't hate License to Wed, so I'm here for a good time.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Dana?

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not here for you.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_07]: License to Wed's bad.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_07]: This is going to be worse.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Any movie Hallmark is making with a character called Pastor Mark that is giving his daughter

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_07]: premarital counseling and it's Christmas team building games?

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_07]: I would rather die.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a zero across the board for me.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_07]: This is when you elope.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, this is literally, I'm looking at this movie and I'm going, in the middle of this movie

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm gonna be like, how many more of these we got left?

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_07]: How many more we got left?

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_07]: We've already done the three wiser men.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_07]: How many more we got left?

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_07]: We're in trouble.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_07]: That's what's happening here.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_06]: My biggest question with this one is how did the pre-wedding boot camp activities

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_06]: cause her to consider following her dreams in the fashion industry?

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_06]: That was a hard left turn I didn't see coming.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_06]: It's drippy.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_06]: It's drippy, Alonzo.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_05]: And why is that not the same as, why can you not get married and also pursue the dreams?

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Now, Dan, this is going to be the opposite of an amuse-bouche leading into Thanksgiving week.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It's going to make you question all of your life choices right when you have to watch

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like six in three days.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_07]: This is nestled right in between good movies and Christmas Con.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm going to be like, we got to do what?

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_07]: When?

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_07]: What the hell?

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_07]: What are we doing here?

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I quit.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's get to the next one.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: It's called Christmas Under the Lights.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Christmas Under the Lights.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_06]: It's on Hallmark Mysteries.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Nice.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_06]: And it is starring Heather Hemans and Marco Grazini.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Emily, played by Hemans, is always reluctant to return home to her family's animal rescue

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_06]: ranch.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Again.

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_06]: We got a lot of these to get through.

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Why?

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_06]: But when her mother passes away, sorry, recipes obvious.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_06]: They know why.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Her brother Nick requests to help organizing the annual Christmas carnival.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a party planning episode.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_06]: When she arrives, she discovers Nick's friend, Luke, played by Grazini, staying at the ranch.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_06]: And that Luke was once a successful artist who works with light.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_07]: He don't work with no darkness, though.

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_07]: I can tell you that right now.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Is he the Lord?

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Though initially reluctant to collaborate, and who wouldn't?

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_06]: He works with light.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Emily and Luke work hard to pull off the best, most light-filled carnival.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Boom!

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Boom!

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_06]: The town has ever seen a healing celebration of Emily's mother's legacy in the magic of Christmas.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And along the way, feels sparks of romance as radiant as the lights themselves.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Do you think this would all be helped if they changed the works with light to works with Christmas lights?

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Works with light is, what is he doing there?

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Is he, like, shooting light out of his hands?

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_07]: You couldn't get it.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_07]: You couldn't.

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Is he an X-Man?

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_08]: This made me think, when I was living in New Hampshire, there was a bar that would display, like, local artists.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_08]: And there was one that worked with light, and he would, like, in a space, he would have, like, little different colored pieces of glass.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_08]: And then he would, the way he would change the light so it would shoot, like, yeah.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_08]: So it would, like, project different colors.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_08]: That's all I've got.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_06]: That helps us.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Ryan.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's preview it, I guess.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's preview it, I guess.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's preview it.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a battle going on in my mind and heart right now.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Between zero and one half.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't do it.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_03]: This has a lot going for it here.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I...

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It has a lot going for it?

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I saw that Russell Hainline wrote on this one, and he's done a ton of funny stuff.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_03]: He does the Santa Summit in very much.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Russell Hainline is something else, right?

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that his name?

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I saw he's involved.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I think K-On is involved in this.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I saw...

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Who's K-On?

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: K-On.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: K-On.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Come on.

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So, Heather Hammond, Marco Grazini, it's going to...

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: The sparks are going to be...

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: The light is going to come through the TV.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, it is going to be intense.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_03]: That is how TVs work.

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, they're going to break the TV barrier somehow.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_03]: The light's going to come through?

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Into our living room?

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_03]: The fact that this is a little bit of a party planning and the romantic arena that is a mom's death is a little tough.

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going three and a half on this bad boy.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Before you go any further, I don't see Russell Hainline's name anywhere near this movie.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_07]: He is helping with three wise men and a baby, the Santa class, and hot frosty.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I saw his IMDb, but I also saw his Instagram where he's been sharing.

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_03]: This guy's up here doing the research.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_03]: He's doing the deep dive.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: So, he's got his fingers in a ton of stuff this year.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, we do have a draft to prepare for tomorrow, so this is all helpful information.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_03]: So, three and a half for me, please.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this is a tough spot for me because, listen, on the page, you know, maybe there's maybe not a ton to wrap your arms around,

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_04]: but for me, someone who also works with light, I feel like I have to be a little biased.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And so, like, listen, is it a fine line to walk?

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Sure, but it's a line that we shall balance on.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Give me three right down the middle.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Well done.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Right down the middle.

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick?

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Animal rescues are hot, you know.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_00]: We have the chimp crazy lady, you know, like, Tonka's dead.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Tonka's dead.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_00]: That's great.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So, if there is a lady like that in this movie anywhere, Dolores Drake maybe comes in with, like, a blonde wig, I'm here for that.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So, I really will be so happy.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So, I think three is good for this.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Three is.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's just do a three.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_00]: It's solid.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I don't love party planning movies, and I don't love ranches, but I do like animal rescues.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_09]: And, Brian, I thought your preview of this was absolutely inspired.

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_09]: I want to add that I love Heather Hemmonds.

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_09]: I loved her in Pinch of Portugal.

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_09]: I think she is a gosh darn delight.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to go ahead and do three and a half peppermint mochas.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Did you cover that for bubbly or was that just leisure?

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_09]: Wait, what?

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Pinch of Portugal.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Was that a bubbly sesh review or was that a leisurely watch?

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_09]: That was a leisurely watch.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_09]: That was my own volition.

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_09]: Yes.

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I didn't review that one.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Good.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_09]: It's bubbly sesh.com.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Dot com.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_09]: The episodes aren't even up anymore.

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Hallmark took them down.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_09]: You can't even find it.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_09]: It never even existed, y'all.

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Erased.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Look, if you want to see an artist who works with light, come to Los Angeles.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Come to the Broad Museum.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Go to the Yayoi Kusama room where they close the door behind you.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_05]: It's all like lights and mirrors, and it's very cool, and I highly recommend it.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_05]: This I do not recommend.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Just from the premise.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to say 1 p.m. for Ms. Hemmonds, and that's it.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, you know, I am preparing, obviously, for a draft tomorrow, and I'm taking a lot

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_06]: of things into consideration in regards to the five movies that I'm going to draft.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm putting this one in my back pocket for that, and I'm also giving it four peppermint

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_06]: mochas.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I know that there's a lot.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Dude, I guess they just give them away for free these days.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_07]: They do, actually.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_07]: This is crazy.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_06]: At my coffee shop, they do.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Unbelievable.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_06]: The one that I founded, which you're not welcome to, by the way.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Brands more out of 100.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Can I try?

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you can come.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks, man.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm intrigued by this movie.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_06]: I think this could be a sleeper.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it could be a sneaker.

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It could be one that could play really well on a team of five other movies.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it could play really well with others.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_06]: You do that.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that it could be a sneaky movie, and so I'm giving it four.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not creaming it, though.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to get crazy.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Damn.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_07]: That would be insane.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Heather Hemmonds and Marco Grazini are both just crazy attractive, and I think the fact

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_07]: that those two are in this movie together will give it some spark.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_07]: That is all I've got.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, thank you very much for that.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_07]: For that, I'm going to go a peppermint mocha and a half.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_08]: 1.5 or 1.5?

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_06]: 1.5.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you are coming to my coffee shop after all.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_06]: You're giving away the ice.

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_06]: That's so good.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Your stream creams are back on the table for this next one.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Everybody get your stream creams ready.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Get them ready just in case, everybody.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Warm it up.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan, maybe hold on to yours.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Hold on to yours.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I would trade my stream cream for a regular cream.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_07]: You know you can't do that.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't be stupid.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_07]: If you save yours and hold on to it, after a few hours, you're going to need to call somebody.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Unwrapping Christmas.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Olivia's Reunion.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It is starring Cindy Busby and Jake Epstein.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Olivia, played by Busby.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_06]: The gift wrapping.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_07]: The gift wrapping.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_07]: You got to do this with a straight face.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Come on, Brandon.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_07]: You got this.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_06]: The gift wrapping experts at All Wrapped Up.

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Love that.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_06]: That makes a delivery to a remote cabin.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Ooh, a remote cabin.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Two pep moques.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Only to find her ex-boyfriend, Benjamin, played by Epstein, on the other side of the door.

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Two for X's.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Three for sure.

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_06]: After the pair have a minor spat, sat on her.

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_07]: That's worth one.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_06]: An unexpected storm traps them together.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a two-bagger.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a little too close to home.

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Neither of them is happy to be forced to spend time together.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_06]: However, as talk turns to shared memories, old feeling and warmth begins to resurface,

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_06]: and they are left wondering if it is possible to get it right a second time.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_07]: They didn't get it right the first time, so really get it right a first time on a second try.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Time around.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Step by step.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I added up at least eight pep moques there.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Brian?

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Your coffee shop is just giving them one.

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_07]: Whenever you're ready.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_05]: As your friend Billy Joel would say, Dan, you'll get it right the first time.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_05]: That's the main thing.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_03]: You get it.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Nicely done.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Part of a trilogy, right?

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the third one.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Is it a trilogy or quadruple?

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Three or four.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_03]: What did you say?

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Quadruple it might be, actually.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Now that I'm thinking of it.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_08]: No, I think this is the last.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Are there four of them, though?

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_03]: The unwrappings?

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Dude, that was like six months ago.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to just go ahead and do it.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's four unwrapping and three.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a quadril.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_05]: All right.

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not a quadril.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Cherry lanes.

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a prism.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_03]: A prism of our own.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Quadrilogy.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Quadrilogy.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_07]: I think there's four unwrappings.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Quad-tap.

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_07]: And there's three cherry lanes.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's if you take the light of the prism.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_06]: And everybody's cream cream is still on the board.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Is that right?

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_06]: And there are four of the unwrapping movies.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, great.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_03]: So we haven't creamed any of the unwrapping movies.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And so that's just pie to infinity, if I'm doing my math right.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm just going to write down the middle three on this bad boy.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_04]: So I was at Bran's coffee shop in the town he founded for his New Year's resolution.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Cream town.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_04]: You were in the county line, though?

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I feel at home there.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And so there's like, listen, is this...

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I was thinking about, like, you know, I'm at this coffee shop and it feels familiar.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And then I was like, wow, this plot really reads like 2012 Hallmark, right?

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And like, you know, then it's like, well, we all like 2012 Hallmark and 2012.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_04]: That's why we're all here today.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Does it seem as though maybe that we should be moving past, you know, cabin, snowstorm,

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_04]: a very thin door separating two humans and they're stuck there for 90 minutes?

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Sure.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_04]: But no.

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_04]: At the same time.

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_04]: So as I sip those pep mochas, you just get them for free.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, you know what?

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Four and a half and my stream cream.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Woo.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Amazing.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I love it.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks, Bran.

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Literally, thank you for the cost.

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, Rydy.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_08]: So for anyone playing at home, Ryan is down to zero stream cream.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't want it, don't need it.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_06]: He's the first to lose it.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a thin line between a Lifetime Christmas movie and a Hallmark Christmas movie.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, being alone in a cabin with an ex could get pretty deadly in a Lifetime movie.

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_05]: You visited the wrong ex-boyfriend.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Why did this man get a present rapping person to come to his remote cabin?

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That seems suspicious to me.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be something involved in that that's going to cause drama.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_00]: And we know I love the drama.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to go three and a half mugs.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm also going to stream cream.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Stream cream.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_06]: How about that?

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_09]: The plot sounds okay.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_09]: I love Cindy Busby.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_09]: And because of the fact that now she's, and I'm excited for her, but she is going to be doing When Hope Calls, The Great American Family.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if she'll be doing any more Hallmarks.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I hope she will, but we'll see what happens.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_09]: She was one that was sort of able to move from network to network.

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_09]: And it was totally cool.

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_09]: And I love that for her.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_09]: But since I don't know what will happen, I'm absolutely going to stream cream it.

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Because I want to make sure, you know, to give more attention.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Attention must be paid to the queen.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_09]: Cindy Busby.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Adore her.

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_08]: How many peppermint mochas?

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_06]: How many peppermint mochas, though?

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, just three and a half.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Just three and a half.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_07]: But a stream cream.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Just bragging on Cindy Busby.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Go to stream cream it.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Movie's going to kind of suck, though.

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, the plot sounds like boring.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_09]: But, you know, I love Cindy.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Alonzo.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: So this is a business that does nothing but wrap gifts.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_05]: And she is the gift-wraffing expert.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_05]: But they also send her to do a delivery to a remote cabin.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_05]: You got it.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_07]: There's not going to be any weight what's in this movie.

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, like, I am kind of dreading the entire all-wrapped-up quadrilogy.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'm dreading this one the least because it does star Cindy Busby and Jake Epstein.

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Both of whom are super charming.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_05]: And he is a Degrassi alum.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Degrassi.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to go two and a half right down the middle.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Right down the middle.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, let's get this out of the way, first of all.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I am going to utilize my stream cream.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_06]: And I want to join this club.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_06]: And I wrote it down before anybody else said it.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm not being swayed by anybody.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I did it.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I actually did it first.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I was supposed to write it down.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I know you said it.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_06]: But I wrote it down first.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_06]: And I do want that on the record.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_06]: My stream cream is.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_06]: My stream cream is.

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I agree.

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_07]: I was stream creaming before anyone else was stream creaming.

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm the best at stream creaming.

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_07]: If you would have looked.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_07]: No one's leaving this preview episode early.

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_07]: They're all staying.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_07]: There you are.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_07]: They're staying.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_06]: I wish that was true.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_06]: No one's in pause.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_07]: No one's turned it off.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_07]: No one's mad about the advertisements.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four and a half.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_06]: They're eating the dogs.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_06]: They're wrapping the gifts.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four and a half.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four and a half.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_06]: And I am utilizing my stream cream.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Usalizing.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Usalizing.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_07]: I literally, when the schedule came out, I wrote down stream cream for this one.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Wow.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_07]: And now I'm starting to rethink it because of how many people have used their stream creams.

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_07]: But I want Cindy Busby to be in a good movie so bad.

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I want it more than I want most things on this network.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_07]: And so it's a Johnson movie.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Is it?

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_07]: It is.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_05]: But without a national park, unless that's where the cabin is.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Who can say it happens?

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And we got Cherry Lanes coming up.

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure do.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Do what you want.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_07]: I just thought you wanted to know the whole.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_07]: One mocha, no cream.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_07]: One mocha.

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_07]: One mocha, no cream.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_07]: One mocha, no cream.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_07]: One mocha, no cream.

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_07]: I've come to my senses.

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't know it was a big Johnson joint.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Now I know.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_06]: It's the first time the mention of a big Johnson has gotten rid of a cream in this way.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_06]: It's very interesting.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for Debbie McComer's Joyful Miss Miracle.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_06]: What?

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Debbie McComer's Joyful Mrs. Miracle.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Five and a cream!

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Five and a cream!

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Don't write it down.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Do you mean it?

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no.

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_06]: It is starring.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_06]: It's November 28th.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_06]: This is Thanksgiving.

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, Thanksgiving week.

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe even.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Thanksgiving day.

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_06]: This is Thursday?

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_06]: No Wednesday movie?

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_06]: No, they didn't.

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_05]: No, the Wednesday movie was the animal rescue rant.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I apologize.

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I apologize.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I apologize.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Debbie McComer's Joyful Mrs. Miracle.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_06]: You apologize?

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_06]: You're too deep.

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_06]: We're into an accent.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Homework channel.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, man.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I wish.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Turning Canadian.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I wish.

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Rachel Boston.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Pascal.

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Hutton?

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_06]: He wishes.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Lamothe Kipnis.

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, man.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Tanner Novelin.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Matthew James Dowden.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_06]: And our boy, Max Lloyd-Jones.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Three adult siblings played by Lamothe Kipnis, Dowden, and Lloyd-Jones.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Return to their childhood hope.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if I believe in fate or not, but I do believe the entire universe was spun into motion,

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_07]: so Bran would have to read off a page live on television.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_07]: I do believe that.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_06]: File it out if you saw us DTA.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Return to their...

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Lamothe Kipnis, Dowden.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Lloyd-Jones.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Even Lloyd-Jones.

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_07]: He's like, maybe don't stumble.

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Lloyd.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_02]: He can't even take the layups.

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Lloyd.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Return to their childhood home at Christmas to honor their late grandmother's wishes

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_06]: to try to agree on new leadership for the family's company.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Don't ask what it is.

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Enter Annie Merkel, played by Rachel Boston, also known as Mrs. Miracle,

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_06]: who poses as an estate planner and uses her special brand of Christmas magic

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_06]: to help the family find common ground and rekindle their bonds.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_06]: As the siblings try to sort things out, Charlotte, played by, we know,

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_06]: LK, both Kipnis.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Why'd she get double Billy here?

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Also finds herself reconnecting with Austin, Stone Cold,

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_06]: the manners, caretaker, and her first love.

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian.

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, boy.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, two pep mooks for the reading, obviously.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And we'll see how that works right there.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It's good for me.

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_03]: You just doing two?

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay.

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_07]: That's really low for you.

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_07]: It sure is.

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_07]: That's like negative six.

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you feeling okay, Brian?

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm exhausted at this point in the showings.

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_03]: We haven't done anything all night.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Am I?

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_04]: It's me.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Ryan.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm the prom.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_04]: It's me.

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, listen, you know, kind of the antithesis of the last one we were talking about,

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I guess kind of actually not.

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, you know, they don't do a lot of Christmas magic these days.

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, we've been doing the Miss Miracle thing since the Everybody Loves Raymond days,

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_04]: you know, and I'm going to give it three and a half right down the middle.

[00:38:14] Three and a half right down the middle?

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_07]: You're not even in the ballpark of math.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_07]: That's close enough for me.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_07]: It keeps moving.

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Out of seven pep mooks, what are you doing?

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Debbie always gets a movie, doesn't she?

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she does.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Classic Deb.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Debbie is just doing it every year.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I never know what she's doing over there, but that's fine.

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And then we have Rachel.

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Rachel Boston.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Boston, girl.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_00]: We love her.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Wasn't she on a Boston show?

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I bet she was.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_07]: She's in an Angel Falls movie.

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Boston Public.

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Boston Legal.

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Boston Public.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's in all the Boston shows.

[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Boston Market.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm surprised this isn't called Debbie McComber's Boston Christmas.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm going to – I don't get it.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go one.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: One couple.

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_07]: You talked it up so much.

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't get it.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm going one.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Jax.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_09]: Isn't this like a beloved franchise, though?

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Debbie McComber's Joy Paul?

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_07]: But Mrs. Miracle?

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_07]: We're on our third Mrs. Miracle.

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Mrs. Miracle was originally – what's her name from Everybody Loves Raymond?

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's right.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_07]: And then after that, it was Caroline Ray.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Caroline Ray.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_07]: And now it's Rachel Boston.

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_09]: Caroline Ray only got one?

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_07]: She only got one.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Pass that torch, baby.

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm excited.

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Doris Roberts.

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Doris Roberts.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_07]: That's who it was.

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_07]: I kept wanting to say Doris Leachman, which combined Cloris Leachman and Doris Roberts,

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_07]: so thank you.

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_07]: That's like Lincoln Park and Jay Z.

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's right.

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_07]: It would have been.

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_09]: Look, I actually think this is going to be really sweet and lovely.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_09]: I love Rachel.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_09]: I love her work.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_09]: Because of Chicken Sisters and numerous other things, I'm hot for Matthew James Dowden.

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_09]: So bring it on, baby.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_09]: Four peppermint mochas.

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Alanda.

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Hashtag not my Mrs. Miracle.

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Hashtag no, not even the other Mrs. Miracle.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Half a peppermint mocha.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Man, that's kind.

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Three just a skosh from the middle, apparently.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, I'm nervous about it.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I agree.

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_06]: First of all, Caroline Ray should have gotten another one.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that's only fair.

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_06]: You can't do a single without a double.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_06]: That's true.

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll see what happens here.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Rachel Boston, it just seems.

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_06]: You can do a single without a double?

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think that's true.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Rachel Boston, it just seems.

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Is she at the point where she's now a Mrs. Miracle?

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Like I think of these wise character actors, you know?

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And Rachel Boston, I just feel like.

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Is she a wise or a character actor?

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_06]: No, she's just like younger.

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_06]: She's a younger Mrs. Miracle.

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Mr. Miracle has a trophy wife, apparently.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Apparently.

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_06]: And I just don't know what to do with that.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_06]: But I do like her and I think she will do a great job.

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going three mainly for Max Lloyd-Jones.

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Just because I can say his name real easy.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Easy.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Dano?

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_07]: The last Mrs. Miracle movie snuck up on me with Steve Lund.

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_07]: It's one of my most memorable experiences

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_07]: watching one of these movies.

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_07]: It really did get to me.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_07]: And I enjoyed myself more than I thought I would.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_07]: I look at this movie and this synopsis and this cast

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_07]: and all that comes to mind is zero.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_07]: So that's what it's going to be.

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, man.

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, let's take a break.

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I think we've done pretty good so far.

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's take a break.

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll come back.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll get to more here on.

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Take the hallmark.

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought you were going for a move.

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_07]: You guys remember in preview episode one

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_07]: where the Christmas decorations were out?

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_07]: And now that we're a day before Christmas.

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Forgot about that.

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_07]: It's fall.

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_07]: What the F are we doing?

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember that at all, actually.

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Do we record these backwards?

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Start at two?

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_03]: We did.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_03]: We did.

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_07]: We stuck Ryan with only two creams is what we did.

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to start at two.

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_04]: We wrote it all out.

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like an improv class.

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_04]: It's scripted.

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_06]: It's scripted and there's nothing that we can do about it.

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_06]: We're in a tough spot there.

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_06]: That's true.

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Really quick.

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Aaron, if you don't mind, I know there's been some creams utilized so far this episode.

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_06]: If you could give us a quick cream update, that'd be wonderful.

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Cream date.

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Not a cream date.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Don't call it that.

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_03]: None of this app.

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_06]: This is not the Disslist theme song.

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_03]: You might think it's not, but wait until it hits.

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a Disslist.

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_06]: No, cream update.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Cream update.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Go.

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Daniel, Brian, Brandon, Alonzo, Patrick, you have three creams left.

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Jax has four and Ryan is holding strong at two.

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Strong.

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Dan, Brian, and Alonzo also have a stream name.

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_07]: I thought you had three and you used one and have two left.

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Same here.

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_07]: You used one early on.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I get that cream?

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_03]: If it's floating around.

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, hold tight.

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, no, no, no.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_07]: You used a cream?

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't.

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_07]: You used a cream in this episode.

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_07]: He used a stream cream.

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I did not.

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_03]: No, he used a cream.

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I did not stream cream.

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_07]: He used a cream.

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Stop there.

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: There he is.

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he's gone now.

[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_07]: You had it.

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Disappearing.

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I haven't.

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Went down and Brian.

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_03]: How about cream today?

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you got three.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't have any.

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't have Brian using a cream in this episode.

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_08]: There you go.

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_08]: I definitely have my stream cream.

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Great.

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_08]: This is my second job of this.

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_08]: The Day.

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_08]: I've been on my feet since 10 a.m.

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_08]: I could be wrong.

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_08]: And fact check me.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Fair.

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think so.

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think you're wrong.

[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I think you're right.

[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I believe you.

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, we did everything we could at this point.

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_06]: We're moving on.

[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Merry Christmas.

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my God.

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_06]: We did it.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for a 90s Christmas.

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_06]: It is starring.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_06]: It's November 29th, 6 p.m.

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_06]: So we're doing the double hitters on this day.

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It's with Eva Bourne, Chandler Massey, and Kat Barrel.

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_06]: It's on the back of this page.

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I was about to say it's still your turn.

[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Workaholic lawyer Lucy Miller, played by Bourne, is celebrating her promotion alone on Christmas

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Eve.

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_06]: When a mysterious rideshare experience transports her back to 1999.

[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, come on.

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Reliving the holiday with her mom, sister, and best friend, not to mention her personal crush.

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Lucy gets a second chance to understand where her relationship went wrong.

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Will this magical journey help her rewrite her future or leave her destined to be alone?

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Bye.

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Bye.

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian.

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you say 90s Christmas movie and there's nothing we can do.

[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's five and a cream.

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_03]: That's nothing.

[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_07]: That was just on the title.

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Five and a cream.

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't listen to anything you said.

[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I was looking at other things.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_08]: So, Brian, you're using a cream now?

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I have cream in this movie 100%.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And I will not be talked about it.

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Get it through your sick skull!

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Five and a cream, all day, all night.

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Merry Christmas.

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Good night.

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Merry Christmas.

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_06]: It's the same word.

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_06]: That's because we script all of this.

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Right?

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_04]: So, when the schedule dropped all those weeks ago, there was a period of time where the

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_04]: names of the films were available, but no synopses.

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_04]: No actors.

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_04]: That was a wild hour, wasn't it?

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_07]: And you were going to cream this movie then.

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, no, no, no.

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I know.

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Honestly, quite the...

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I was out of my head excited.

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_04]: But see, in that hour before we got more intel, I started fantasy booking.

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, oh, maybe they called Mark Paul Gosselaar for this.

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they called Will Fridell.

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they called...

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Think of the cameos, though, that they're keeping from us.

[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_04]: There we go.

[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they called Taj Mowry.

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_04]: You like, right?

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_04]: They didn't call any of those people.

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_04]: None at all.

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And so the plot...

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't know.

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't know.

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Grant.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Stop.

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Grant.

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_07]: You're acting like he's Captain 90s.

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_07]: It's ridiculous.

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Grant, but I don't want right now is your eternal optimism, all right?

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_04]: They had a chance to do something special.

[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_07]: He's just trying to make himself feel better for not having a cream for this movie, which

[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_07]: is clearly one of the better movies of the crop.

[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_04]: The plot sounds really cool.

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I just think this is...

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Jax and I have talked about this offline a lot of times.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_04]: They should call me on some of these things.

[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_04]: They should have called me.

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_04]: They didn't call me.

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Four and a half.

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_04]: No creams.

[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I agree with Brian.

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_00]: They should have called Brian.

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Patrick.

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Even though I wasn't alive in 1999...

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it was a really dark time, right?

[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_00]: There was Y2K happening.

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Britney Spears only had two singles out.

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_00]: What are we going to do?

[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, a rideshare transporting you to the future or the past?

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_00]: How is this person going to get back?

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_00]: There's no rideshares in 1999.

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Or smartphones.

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_00]: This is going to be very...

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_07]: There's these things called taxis.

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_07]: They were rideshare.

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_07]: You could split a taxi.

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that.

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Being a...

[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't there.

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_00]: A Gen Z, whatever.

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_07]: You're just over there with your Tide Pods.

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Got it.

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm intrigued.

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm intrigued.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I love a history.

[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I love, you know, the History Channel.

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is about as far back as I can go.

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You know?

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_00]: The last century.

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I can only know about the last century.

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Anything beyond that.

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Forget about it.

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_07]: What's wild is you weren't born until 2000 and you are a huge Mandy Moore fan.

[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Like massive.

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_00]: How did that happen?

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_00]: My mom really liked her.

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_05]: This is us, but then he worked backwards.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_00]: How many...

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go four and a half mugs.

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Good.

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Good use.

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax?

[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_09]: So, before I saw the synopsis of this movie and I saw Cat Barrel's Burrell.

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_09]: Sorry, it's Burrell, but Brand's in my head.

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Cat Barrel's headshot.

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_06]: You've been in your head, huh?

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_06]: I've been in my own head.

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_09]: You've been in your own head.

[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Every preview episode.

[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_09]: And Ava Bourne.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I was excited to see Ava Bourne.

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_09]: I miss her on One Calls Heart.

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_09]: And I thought, oh, Cat Barrel, you know, she's a queer woman who has played queer roles.

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe this is going to be the girl, Kisses Girl Christmas movie.

[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_09]: It's not.

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm disappointed.

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't even know if we have one this year.

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_09]: So, this seems like, okay.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_09]: I agree.

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_09]: They should have consulted Ryan.

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give it three peppermint mochas, but I'm going to give it a cream because Cat Barrel always gets my cream.

[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_09]: Alonzo.

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I was Brand's current age in 1999, so I don't have the same kind of nostalgia for this decade that y'all do.

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_05]: And I don't always share Dan's enthusiasm about the possibility of a time travel movie.

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_05]: And Cat Barrel's playing the Uber driver and not, like, the romantic lead.

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_05]: And Chandler Massey sometimes works for me and sometimes does not.

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_05]: So, this leaves me at a solid, I'll say three, but it's an optimistic three.

[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hoping.

[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hoping for good things.

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hoping for big things.

[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_06]: This is another movie right alongside of the three wiser men and that boy where it could be a big disappointment.

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_06]: It could be a disappointment.

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Three wiser men and that boy.

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_06]: And that boy.

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_06]: It could be a disappointment.

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_06]: This is high disappointment possibility.

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_06]: But I think they're going to stick to landing.

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I am going to go with five.

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to hold my cream, though.

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_06]: I got to be cautious here.

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_06]: And so, the holding of the cream represents, in this case, the potential for disappointment.

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_05]: What if she goes back to the past and then it turns out it's the way home?

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, now I'm all in.

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_05]: That's about time travel, too.

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_07]: And they called it a 90s Christmas to throw you off the scent.

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Listen.

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_07]: They didn't say what century, 90s?

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_07]: That's true.

[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_07]: 90s?

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_07]: 1890s?

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_07]: 1790s?

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Zero.

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_07]: She gets a ride in her hair.

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_07]: She gets a ride in her hair and wakes up in a horse and buggy in the Gilded Age.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_07]: We've seen that.

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.

[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Summer of balls.

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm using my skip.

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_07]: All I know is this.

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_07]: You're skipping a Christmas movie.

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Man, times are tough.

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I'll tell you.

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_06]: If they do a freaking Gilded Age Christmas movie, I would rather.

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Because you're taking something that I love so much.

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_06]: And you're, what's it called?

[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Have you thought that, like, you could maybe, you could do it?

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_07]: You could embrace it and try?

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay.

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Never thought of that in my life.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a pantaloon.

[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Brandon is out.

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_07]: You get it.

[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_07]: How about this?

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_07]: A Gilded Age movie.

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Subtitles.

[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_07]: In black.

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Bran's just curled up in the fetal position.

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_05]: He will forget having seen it.

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_05]: For sure.

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Here's the thing, guys.

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_07]: High concept time travel movie.

[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_07]: You got to do an 84 minutes.

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Absolutely sign me up.

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Because you know what?

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm guaranteed.

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Time's going to go by quickly in this movie.

[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Even if it's bad, it'd be a quick bad.

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Not a slow bad.

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Not a, this is an artist that works with light bad.

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be, it's going to be a quick bad.

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm, and that's the floor for this movie is quick bad.

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Cat Burrell, Eva Bourne, Chandler Massey.

[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_07]: I agree with Alonzo on that.

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_07]: I think this movie has a very high ceiling.

[00:51:38] [SPEAKER_07]: It is dangerous.

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_07]: I'd love to see who is behind it.

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't look up any of that information.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Based upon what I have here though, if you're asking me to use my creams in a manner of movies

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_07]: that I'm most excited about, this is one of those movies.

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_07]: It is top seven for me for that reason.

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Three peppermint mochas and a cream.

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_07]: And a cream.

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Down to two creams.

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Joining Rye Guy down there.

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Wow.

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_07]: What's it like?

[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Didn't you cream it too?

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Brian.

[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_07]: We got, so Brian's got two, Rye's got two and I got two, right?

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:52:10] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, you technically have more because you two still have your stream cream.

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, of course.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, right.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_04]: It goes without saying.

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_04]: We have more than Ryan.

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Overrated.

[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Up next is Deck the Walls.

[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_06]: It's very close to Deck the Hallmark.

[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I'd hope there would be any brain confusion.

[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_06]: And there is a podcaster in the movie.

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I want it to be on the record.

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Should we sue them for brain confusion?

[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_06]: We are not in any way associated with Deck the Walls.

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_06]: We are.

[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_06]: It is premiering on November 29th on the Hallmark Channel.

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_06]: It's starring Ashley Green, Wes Brown, and Danny Pellegrino.

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Which I've heard so many people are like, you need to have them on the podcast.

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, people are reaching out.

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_07]: They're like, you got to have old Danny Pelle on the podcast.

[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know anything about him, but that's what I've heard.

[00:52:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I love his middle wall.

[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_03]: He has a podcast.

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_03]: He does.

[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_09]: I just want to say, we had Danny Pellegrino on the bubbly sesh.

[00:53:03] [SPEAKER_09]: Got it.

[00:53:03] [SPEAKER_09]: I love him.

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_09]: He hosts everything iconic.

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_09]: He's so funny.

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_09]: He, they told him, this is like the old Hallmark regime.

[00:53:09] [SPEAKER_09]: We were talking about people being like, you know, guys being handsome.

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_09]: And they told him he wasn't allowed to say that.

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_07]: He wasn't allowed to say what?

[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_09]: He wasn't allowed to say guys were handsome.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh my gosh.

[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_09]: Wasn't cool.

[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_09]: Wasn't cool.

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_09]: So I, I'm really glad that he's a big Christmas movie fan.

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm really glad that the tide is turned over there and I'm really excited to see him in this.

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_05]: For sure.

[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Although the tide is also turned back, one might argue.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_05]: It's true.

[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, right.

[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, yes, yes.

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_09]: Where is that?

[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the moon.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_03]: The moon pulling the tide.

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_06]: It's how it's working.

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Rose, played by, played by green.

[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a green rose.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Is a Chicago based interior designer whose brother Sal, played by Pellegrino, is responsible for a charity, a Christmas charity house flip back in their old suburban Ohio hometown.

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what that means.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_06]: When a budget crisis puts this important project in danger, Rose reluctantly returns during the holidays to try to save the day.

[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Not ready to face the ghost of her past, Rose's plan is to get in and get it done and get out ASAP.

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_06]: But before she knows it, she's face to face with Bryson, played by Wes Brown, her brother's best friend, contractor, and who just so happens to be the bane of Rose's youth.

[00:54:36] [SPEAKER_06]: With the help of friends and family and boo-booyed?

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:54:41] [SPEAKER_06]: By the season of giving.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't like that you're laughing, Erin, before I even get a chance.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so proud of you.

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Give him a chance.

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Give me a chance.

[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm so proud of you.

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I knew you could do it.

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Just keep track of your creeps over there.

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Stay out of my words.

[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_06]: The trio figures out a way.

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Nobody's in the words, I promise.

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Not even the people that are supposed to be.

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_06]: The trio figured out a way to work together.

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, I should be helping getting into some words.

[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Work together for this worthy cause.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_06]: A cause that, once again, I don't understand.

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_06]: As Rose works, she discovers unexpected love and deeper purpose along the way.

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I feel like I heard somewhere along the line, Danny Pellegrino's involved in writing this as well.

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he wrote.

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So, I mean, this has a floor of three.

[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to bump it up to four peppermint mochas for me from Bran's free coffee shop.

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan?

[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's great there.

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Wi-Fi's awesome.

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen, I think that there is, like, I'm fascinated.

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_04]: We agree the 90s flick is at 6 p.m. that Eastern.

[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_04]: We all thought that sounded really good.

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_04]: They put this at 8.

[00:55:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like they have to have a lot of confidence.

[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_04]: You would have thought that those two things would have been swapped.

[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, totally.

[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_04]: So for that reason, I'll be, it's not knocking my socks off here,

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_04]: but I'll go three and a half just because they seem to have a lot of confidence.

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_04]: They's Hallmark, not Deck the Walls, which is in no way associated with Deck the Hallmark.

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_07]: At all, we would never.

[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_04]: TM.

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[00:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, as a fellow gay, I'm excited that Danny is in this movie.

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not frightened at all by his, you know, amazing career and success.

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, totally, totally fine with that.

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_00]: He's so cute.

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_07]: He's from a different generation than you are.

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_00]: It's true.

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It's true.

[00:56:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was probably born in the 80s, and I can't relate to that.

[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't know about that.

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think you should have him on the podcast.

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:56:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So for that alone, I'm going to give this movie five stars.

[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Five mugs.

[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Five stars and mugs.

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And you put them all in a mocha.

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give this five, too.

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Danny Pellegrino has been a fan of Hallmark movies for a long time.

[00:56:56] [SPEAKER_09]: He's queen icon legend.

[00:56:58] [SPEAKER_09]: I adore him.

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm excited to see what he does with this movie.

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give it the five-part of my mugs.

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Alanda?

[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_07]: To be honest, it died.

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_05]: It died.

[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_05]: But it officially, when it came on, that was the last.

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_05]: That's it.

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_04]: You're looking with light to fix this.

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I need an artist.

[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

[00:57:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Where is Yaira Kusama when I need her?

[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_05]: So, to be honest, I'd never heard of this gentleman before this movie got announced.

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, oh, my God, it's so exciting.

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, great.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Who is he?

[00:57:36] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'm thrilled that he is apparently successful and that he is a fan of these, has written them.

[00:57:42] [SPEAKER_05]: My trepidation is that in the last couple of years, I have seen people outside of the Hallmark fold who are fans of these movies get a chance to write these movies and then get run over by the process.

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_05]: As opposed to people who have been doing it for a long time and know how to navigate the system more.

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_05]: And so, the stunt casting writing of this is not grabbing me necessarily.

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_05]: And the premise is kind of eh.

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_05]: And what kind of name is Bryson?

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_05]: But, you know, I'll give it a safe two and a half down the middle.

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Right down the middle.

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_05]: You're looking for three.

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm looking for three, too.

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to go three right down the middle.

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm intrigued.

[00:58:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I got to be, yeah, for all the buzz about it, the synopsis fell flat for me.

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what a Christmas charity house flip is.

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_06]: And I don't know.

[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm definitely open to it.

[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I would like for it to be great.

[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Everything you hear about Danny is a funny guy.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_06]: This could be a really funny movie.

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_06]: We've seen Wes can do comedy.

[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_06]: But there's nothing about this synopsis that's going, boy, this is going to be Chucklestown population.

[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_06]: All of us.

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Chucklestown population.

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_07]: All of us.

[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_07]: So, we'll see.

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going three right down the middle.

[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[00:58:57] [SPEAKER_07]: The marathon is what you're talking about.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_06]: That's Chucklestown population.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_07]: All of us.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't know who Danny Pellegrino was.

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_07]: He sounds lovely.

[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_07]: This movie sounds like it sucks.

[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know how to marry those two things.

[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_07]: So, safely, one peppermint mocha for my new friend Danny Pellegrino.

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Pour yourself a Pellegrino.

[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for Believe in Christmas.

[00:59:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Believe in Christmas, November 30th.

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm already out.

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_06]: 6 p.m.

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what this movie's about.

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm already out.

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, give it a chance.

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Give it a chance.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_06]: November 30th, 6 p.m., Hallmark Channel.

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Megan Ori and John Reardon.

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I thought it was almost John Reardon.

[00:59:40] [SPEAKER_07]: What's he dipping into, Brick?

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_06]: When Beatrice, played by Ori, reluctantly...

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Chicken of the week.

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I know.

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_06]: She is amazing.

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Reluctantly joins her best friend on a trip to the enchanting Christmas land.

[00:59:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not offensive, I promise.

[00:59:57] No, no, no, no, it isn't.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_06]: This is a Chicken Sisters episode, please.

[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_06]: She's skeptical of the holiday magic surrounding them.

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_06]: But as she experiences festive traditions and meets a charming stranger named Ethan, played

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_06]: by Reardon, she begins to question what's real and what's part of the experience.

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_06]: What?

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_06]: In the end, Christmas land helps Beatrice rediscover hope, love...

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_06]: She's got up for some sort of escort service she wasn't aware of.

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Is this like an all-night thing?

[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_07]: This guy is going on a date with me.

[01:00:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Is this part of the experience?

[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Is she playing Survivor?

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_06]: In the end, Christmas land helps Beatrice rediscover hope, love, and the magic of new beginnings.

[01:00:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian?

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I remember Megan or he was in a movie with Chris Russell.

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_03]: He was flipping a house.

[01:00:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Remember that?

[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Could have been many of them.

[01:00:47] [SPEAKER_03]: She was really great.

[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I liked her a lot in that.

[01:00:49] [SPEAKER_03]: This one, unfortunately, we're all ramping up to the Chief's Love story that comes on

[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_03]: at 8 p.m. this night.

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_03]: But I will give this three for high hopes, rooting for the best for everybody involved,

[01:01:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and for a Reuben delicious sandwich.

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I haven't had a Reuben in a minute.

[01:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Harold's Deli shout out.

[01:01:07] [SPEAKER_08]: They did point out in the chat that Megan and John are married in real life.

[01:01:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, cool.

[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_06]: It could fall flat.

[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_06]: It could be real bad.

[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_06]: It could fall flat.

[01:01:15] [SPEAKER_07]: We've seen that before.

[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Have we seen it the other way?

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Have we seen a married couple make a great Hallmark Christmas movie?

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's Believe in Christmas.

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, thank you, Aaron.

[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I will, I will, yeah.

[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, there's been some.

[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Just whenever you get those titles, you let me know.

[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_06]: The most, okay, fine.

[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_06]: The final movie that the Pena Vegas did together on Hallmark Channel slapped.

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Stop it.

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_07]: I said Christmas movie, first of all.

[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.

[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_07]: So that's out.

[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_07]: The second, it didn't slap, but it was better.

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_06]: That's all I'm saying.

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_06]: They liked the movie, right?

[01:01:47] [SPEAKER_04]: We all got that.

[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Brian, time for that cream?

[01:01:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Brian, you're right.

[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_04]: We have to have high, high hopes for a living.

[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Shooting for the stars.

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah.

[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It could make a difference.

[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, the thing is, like, I think that we come back to some normalcy here.

[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_04]: It's at 6 p.m.

[01:02:03] [SPEAKER_04]: They're telling you, hey, you know, if you're on your leftovers, you know, background noise

[01:02:09] [SPEAKER_04]: is fine.

[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Get ready for the main event at 8 o'clock.

[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll go a solid half Pep Moke.

[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my.

[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Did I close up?

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Have you had to go somewhere else?

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Half Pep Moke.

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_06]: What happened?

[01:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Dude, I don't know why you closed at noon.

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I told you.

[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_04]: At least get to a lunchtime rush in there.

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Internet personality Ryan Popola hates both of you.

[01:02:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Megan O'Reilly John Rearville.

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, my gosh.

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_07]: You heard it here first.

[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_07]: That seems a bit.

[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_07]: That's stuck.

[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Patrick?

[01:02:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this one's really boring.

[01:02:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But if Beatrice is pronounced Beatrice, I will be really excited.

[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So, zero for me.

[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Narrator, it wasn't.

[01:02:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Let me, let me, I'll prepare, though.

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, give it to me one more time.

[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Beatrice?

[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Beatrice?

[01:02:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Beatrice?

[01:02:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Beatrice?

[01:02:55] [SPEAKER_07]: They're getting there.

[01:02:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Beatrice?

[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Beatrice?

[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Beatrice?

[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Beatrice?

[01:03:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Beatrice?

[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I think you mean Beatrice.

[01:03:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Beatrice.

[01:03:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there we go.

[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

[01:03:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with the Spanish, the Spain list.

[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you got that Spain Vosotros coming in.

[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Vosotros is best of the Argentines.

[01:03:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax?

[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, so because these two are married, of course, that makes me nervous because of things that we've seen before.

[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_09]: I do think that they are two really good actors, though.

[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_09]: So I do think it will be inoffensive.

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_09]: But, like, you don't get the kind of chemistry.

[01:03:32] [SPEAKER_09]: You need the chemistry of, like, the Bruce Willis, Sybil Shepard.

[01:03:35] [SPEAKER_09]: They hated each other's guts.

[01:03:37] [SPEAKER_09]: And, boy, it was on fire and moonlighting.

[01:03:39] [SPEAKER_09]: That's not what's going to be happening in this.

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_09]: But two and a half.

[01:03:42] [SPEAKER_09]: It's going to be fine.

[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_09]: Kind of boring.

[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_09]: But, like you said, warm it up for the main event.

[01:03:46] [SPEAKER_06]: People are bringing up three-bed, two-bath, one ghost.

[01:03:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Easily the best example of a married couple in a movie having good chemistry.

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Three-bed, two-bath, one ghost that I've heard so far.

[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_07]: And not a Christmas movie, but is the best example I've heard so far.

[01:03:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Alonzo?

[01:04:00] [SPEAKER_05]: So, I seem to recall that last year.

[01:04:03] [SPEAKER_07]: It's just your face at this time.

[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Don't look behind the curtain.

[01:04:07] [SPEAKER_07]: He's saving money on his power bill to go to Kylie Minogue.

[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And some – here, okay.

[01:04:16] [SPEAKER_05]: How's this?

[01:04:17] [SPEAKER_05]: All right.

[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Look at him.

[01:04:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Hold it under your chin.

[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_05]: There we go.

[01:04:25] [SPEAKER_05]: At some point last year, there were some early movies on Thanksgiving weekend that y'all just immediately thought were going to suck.

[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_05]: And then they wound up not.

[01:04:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, I think Christmas at Notting Hill, which I liked more than you guys, popped up then.

[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Here's the thing.

[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_05]: The premise of this, there was years ago on the podcast Christmas Creeps, they had a guest talking about – they were talking about the HBO show Westworld.

[01:04:48] [SPEAKER_05]: And this one guest said, I think it would be hilarious if there was, like, a version of that where instead of a Western fantasy, it's a Hallmark Christmas fantasy.

[01:04:55] [SPEAKER_05]: And, like, they have really hunky robots who have chased romances with the female guests.

[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_05]: That kind of sounds like this movie.

[01:05:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_05]: This movie is about a woman who falls in love with a guy who doesn't know if it's a real thing or part of this, like, fake Christmas experience.

[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm kind of intrigued.

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to say three and a half.

[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[01:05:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I like that context.

[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_06]: You added a lot there.

[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I appreciate Megan Orie's last name.

[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_06]: That is straight to the point.

[01:05:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four.

[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four for this movie.

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_07]: I will say Believe in Christmas on the surface of the title made me want to be out completely.

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_07]: The synopsis makes it sound like it could have something to it and be a little bit of a sleeper.

[01:05:36] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me two.

[01:05:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me two Peppermint.

[01:05:38] [SPEAKER_06]: What?

[01:05:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just so intrigued by what this Christmas land is and why she begins to not know what is real.

[01:05:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Low for high ceiling here.

[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_07]: It could really be the sleeper of the year.

[01:05:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Is it Nikki Deloach's Christmas Land?

[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_07]: No, that movie.

[01:05:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Totally different.

[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_08]: But is she visiting Nikki Deloach's Christmas Land?

[01:05:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Then I will.

[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Can I go back and give it zero?

[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Hey, no.

[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_07]: No, that movie.

[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_07]: There's no way that this movie is better than that movie.

[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, it's there.

[01:06:09] [SPEAKER_07]: If Nikki's in it.

[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_07]: What if she's in it?

[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not great either.

[01:06:12] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Nikki and Luke McFarlane, but it's not like amazing.

[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Nikki and Luke McFarlane.

[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_06]: You shut your mouth.

[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Here comes a movie that could be a sleeper of the year.

[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Holiday Touchdown.

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_06]: A Chiefs love story.

[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Anything about this, Grant?

[01:06:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I thought you'd even heard about this.

[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_06]: On November 30th, 8 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.

[01:06:28] [SPEAKER_06]: It's starring Hunter King, Tyler Hines, Ed Begley Jr., Richard...

[01:06:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to guess it's Riley.

[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[01:06:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Real.

[01:06:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Real.

[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Nice try, Ryan.

[01:06:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Dedrick Bader.

[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Better.

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Dude, Dedrick Bader?

[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_07]: He's fantastic.

[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_07]: He's really funny.

[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Christine Ebersole and Megan Price.

[01:06:53] [SPEAKER_06]: And Donna Kelsey.

[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Mama Kelsey does not get a mention.

[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Alana Higman, played by King...

[01:07:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I actually don't know anything about this movie, so I'm excited to find out what the...

[01:07:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know about a super fan or something.

[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Alana Higman, played by King, is sure that her family's lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans

[01:07:12] [SPEAKER_06]: makes them a frontrunner to win the team's Fan of the Year contest.

[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Derek, played by Hines...

[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Hines...

[01:07:20] [SPEAKER_06]: That guy's not a Hines.

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_06]: That guy's not a Derek.

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Tyler Hines is not a Derek, and we all know it.

[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_06]: A director of...

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_06]: He could be a Derek.

[01:07:26] [SPEAKER_06]: You think so?

[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_05]: He could be a Dierks.

[01:07:28] [SPEAKER_06]: He could be a Dierks.

[01:07:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, not a Derek.

[01:07:31] [SPEAKER_06]: A director of fan engagement is tasked with evaluating how Elena and her family stack up against the other two finalists.

[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_06]: As the pair spends time together, it's clear there are sparks between them, but when her grandfather, played by Begley Jr.,

[01:07:46] [SPEAKER_06]: vintage Chiefs good luck winter hat goes missing...

[01:07:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:07:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny, and even questions her future with Derek.

[01:07:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Unless that is a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.

[01:08:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Well done.

[01:08:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Like that.

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you, you hear a lot about this, but I didn't know anything about it, really, because I avoid a lot of...

[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: You try to stay out of it.

[01:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, absolutely.

[01:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: My own beeswax.

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So, Cass sounds great.

[01:08:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Julie Sherman Wolf wrote this one.

[01:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: So, heavy hitters all around.

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'd be embarrassed not to give this five peppermint mochas just out of anticipation, excitement, what have you.

[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So, that's what I'm going to do.

[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: No cream, though.

[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_03]: No cream.

[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[01:08:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Damn, people cream things differently.

[01:08:35] [SPEAKER_06]: I know.

[01:08:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_07]: You're always surprised.

[01:08:37] [SPEAKER_07]: No, I just, as much as you said, I'm not, look, I just, I don't think this is as surefire a movie as Three Wiser Men, but the way you were talking, I thought that was leading up to an obvious cream.

[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_03]: As a Patriots fan, I could not.

[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I got you.

[01:08:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair.

[01:08:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I could not.

[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Ryan.

[01:08:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen, there's a lot to be excited about here.

[01:08:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, you know, I'm not as big a football aficionado as Alonzo, but I like the sport quite a bit.

[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, listen, I just like being excited about things, and people are excited about this.

[01:09:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I like seeing people excited.

[01:09:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, my one reservation is genuinely have we gone too mainstream.

[01:09:13] [SPEAKER_04]: This is probably the biggest thing Hallmark has done since the Mariah Carey stunt casting those years ago.

[01:09:18] [SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of like when your favorite indie band gets too big, and then you just find a new indie band.

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But if that's my biggest concern, five Pep Mokes.

[01:09:26] [SPEAKER_04]: No cream.

[01:09:26] [SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

[01:09:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[01:09:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I think we should be, like, betting on the viewership for this movie, because I think it's going to be, like, the most viewed TV movie of the season.

[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, 10 million viewers or something like that.

[01:09:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's going to be a lot.

[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be, oh, if it's 10 million, that would be insane.

[01:09:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, we'll see.

[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It could.

[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it could.

[01:09:47] [SPEAKER_06]: The Swifty of it all, you know?

[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_06]: The Swifties grab onto this and find out how to watch Hallmark Channel.

[01:09:51] [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be huge.

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Right.

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Everyone's going to go.

[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Fire on LTV slash DTH.

[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[01:09:58] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So for that alone, I think it's going to be a history-making, herstory-making event that everyone will be in attendance for.

[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Do I care about this movie or anything?

[01:10:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Not really.

[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Hunter King, she's fine.

[01:10:14] [SPEAKER_00]: She, like, looks just like her sister.

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So I get them confused, and I'm like, what's Joey King?

[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Joey King?

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_00]: What's her name?

[01:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: What's she doing in this movie?

[01:10:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it's the other one.

[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah.

[01:10:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to go for a no cream, no cream.

[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[01:10:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.

[01:10:34] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.

[01:10:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[01:10:35] [SPEAKER_06]: It's getting late.

[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_06]: It's getting late.

[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_06]: It's past 10.

[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm barely alive.

[01:10:39] [SPEAKER_09]: Brand's like, it's a football movie.

[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_09]: The girl doesn't get to talk.

[01:10:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Which, honestly.

[01:10:43] [SPEAKER_07]: That's what he said.

[01:10:44] [SPEAKER_07]: He covers his mic.

[01:10:45] [SPEAKER_07]: That's exactly what he said to me.

[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_07]: I did it to myself.

[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_06]: And since you said it, Alonzo.

[01:10:50] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I'm kidding.

[01:10:51] [SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no.

[01:10:51] [SPEAKER_09]: No, but Brandt, honestly, like, in your defense, I'll start off with the things I'm not super

[01:10:56] [SPEAKER_09]: excited about.

[01:10:56] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I'm not a huge football fan, even though my high school football team is the winningest

[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_09]: football team in the state.

[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_09]: And I brag about it on the regular.

[01:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: How many football teams were there in the state?

[01:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Two?

[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Three?

[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: It's Pennsylvania.

[01:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty big.

[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_09]: Pennsylvania.

[01:11:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Also, I can't believe the Chiefs haven't had to change their name yet, but I digress.

[01:11:14] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm excited.

[01:11:15] [SPEAKER_07]: You're going to get to see Arrowhead Stadium, Jax.

[01:11:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Isn't that awesome that it gets more publicity?

[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_07]: So cool.

[01:11:22] [SPEAKER_09]: So cool.

[01:11:23] [SPEAKER_09]: I really love Hunter King.

[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I think this will be great.

[01:11:26] [SPEAKER_09]: I really love Christine Embersol.

[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_09]: I just got to say, the fact that Donna Kelsey's in this and my girl has not had time to go

[01:11:34] [SPEAKER_09]: to the heiress tour.

[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm like, what is the tea on this?

[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_09]: Does she not like Taylor?

[01:11:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm not even a real big Swifty, but I'm just in for the drama of that.

[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Going to go ahead and give this four and a half peppermint mochas.

[01:11:46] [SPEAKER_07]: No one has creamed the Chiefs football team yet.

[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Alonzo.

[01:11:50] [SPEAKER_07]: That's unbelievable.

[01:11:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Look, I mean, come on.

[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_05]: This is the linchpin of the year.

[01:11:57] [SPEAKER_05]: This is the thing that's on the pedestal.

[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_05]: This amazing cast.

[01:12:01] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, the whole Hallmark Kansas City synergy.

[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_05]: The NFL Hallmark synergy.

[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_05]: The Taylor Swift of it all.

[01:12:09] [SPEAKER_05]: I am contractually obligated to mention my good friend, John Putch, who directed this on top

[01:12:14] [SPEAKER_05]: of the script from Julie Sherman Wolf and this amazing cast.

[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, I don't care about football.

[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Five and a cream.

[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, I am notorious.

[01:12:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think it's a secret, my love of Tyler Hines.

[01:12:26] [SPEAKER_06]: But I am notorious in preview shows for not creaming Tyler Hines movies because it seems

[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_06]: easy.

[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_06]: It seems like a cop out.

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I try to reserve my creams for the unexpected.

[01:12:36] [SPEAKER_06]: I can't do it this time, though.

[01:12:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that this movie is going to be really special.

[01:12:42] [SPEAKER_06]: I think Hallmark is doing something so new and fresh and trying to be in the zeitgeist,

[01:12:50] [SPEAKER_06]: and they couldn't have picked a better topic to reach out to the dudes out there like Dan

[01:12:58] [SPEAKER_06]: many moons ago that wouldn't watch a Hallmark movie that might go.

[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_07]: You've got to watch this one.

[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I think you would have been like, what is this about?

[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_06]: And then you would turn it off.

[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_05]: But there will be ads on ESPN.

[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I think you could have found your way there.

[01:13:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I think they'll reach those people.

[01:13:12] [SPEAKER_06]: They'll reach the Swifties out there, this younger demographic that doesn't know how linear

[01:13:20] [SPEAKER_06]: TV works.

[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I think it's a really perfect storm in that regard.

[01:13:24] [SPEAKER_06]: But I also think it's a really fun plot.

[01:13:28] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think these are two great leads to do this and appeal to a potential younger demographic

[01:13:35] [SPEAKER_06]: that will be tuning in for this movie.

[01:13:36] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a perfect storm.

[01:13:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's going to be a great movie.

[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's going to be really tough for them to screw it up.

[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_06]: And not only do I think that they're going to come in and it's not going to stink, I

[01:13:46] [SPEAKER_06]: think it's actually going to be really, really good.

[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going five and I'm going with the cream.

[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_06]: I did it.

[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_06]: I did it, everybody.

[01:13:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Big business cream.

[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_08]: You talk yourself out of it and then back into it.

[01:13:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Back into it.

[01:13:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:13:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, he said, yeah, he could not.

[01:13:56] [SPEAKER_07]: I can't not.

[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He can't not.

[01:13:58] [SPEAKER_07]: He's good cream.

[01:13:58] [SPEAKER_07]: I can't wait to be on the other side of this movie.

[01:14:03] [SPEAKER_07]: And Julie Sherman Wolf, whom I adore and talk to her and text her.

[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_07]: And she knows that, that I can't wait to be on the other side of this movie because I

[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_07]: think the hype of this movie has surpassed anything that three wise men and a baby ever

[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_07]: dreamed of having.

[01:14:22] [SPEAKER_07]: And kudos to Hallmark for getting the NFL and the Chiefs on board at this current time

[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_07]: when the Chiefs are the football team everyone knows, even though their name is suspect at

[01:14:33] [SPEAKER_07]: best and there's not a good reason to keep it.

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_07]: On the surface of this movie, if you told me the plot of this movie and you said that

[01:14:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Hallmark was joining forces with the NFL and they were making a movie about a super fan,

[01:14:46] [SPEAKER_07]: I would have said zero, make it stop, please make it stop.

[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_07]: But you've got Julie Sherman Wolf riding it.

[01:14:53] [SPEAKER_07]: She's a huge football fan, big 49ers fan.

[01:14:56] [SPEAKER_07]: I won't hold that against her.

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_07]: You got Tyler Hines.

[01:14:58] [SPEAKER_07]: You got Hunter King.

[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Then, even then, I'm still like, I probably am not on board.

[01:15:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Then you have Ed Begley.

[01:15:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Then you have Christine Ebersole.

[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Then you have Dedrick Bader.

[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_07]: These are all heavy hitter character actors that know what they're doing.

[01:15:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, okay, whatever.

[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_07]: These are all heavy hitter supporting actors that know what they're doing.

[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_07]: They're not all turning up and going to make the movie worse.

[01:15:23] [SPEAKER_07]: So if we know who's behind the camera, we know who's riding it, and we know who's in front of the camera,

[01:15:29] [SPEAKER_07]: you have to, like, as much as I don't want to watch this movie and I'm ready for it to be done and past it,

[01:15:35] [SPEAKER_07]: it's undeniable in its pedigree.

[01:15:39] [SPEAKER_07]: It just is.

[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_07]: So I'm in a tough spot.

[01:15:41] [SPEAKER_07]: But I'm going to go three and a half peppermint mochas and no cream.

[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's take a break.

[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_07]: We'll come back.

[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_07]: We'll get some more here on Deck the Hallmark.

[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_06]: It's got a game.

[01:15:51] [SPEAKER_06]: It's got to get out.

[01:15:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_06]: All business over there.

[01:15:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Welcome back to preview number two here on Deck the Hallmark.

[01:16:02] [SPEAKER_07]: And it is flying by.

[01:16:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It's flying by.

[01:16:04] [SPEAKER_06]: It's flying by.

[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's get it quick.

[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_06]: We're not exhausted at all.

[01:16:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I just looked at the list of movies we had left, and I thought time had no meaning.

[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I was like, is the power out again?

[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know what's happening.

[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Really quickly, give me that cream update, Erin.

[01:16:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, we have time for that.

[01:16:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Always.

[01:16:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Dan, two creams and a stream cream.

[01:16:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Brian, two creams and a stream cream.

[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I am giving my two-week notice.

[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Bran, two creams, no stream cream.

[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_08]: When did you finish this?

[01:16:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Alonso, two creams and a stream cream.

[01:16:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Jackson Patrick, three creams and no stream cream.

[01:16:42] [SPEAKER_08]: And Ryan, two regular creams.

[01:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: No stream cream.

[01:16:46] [SPEAKER_03]: What do I have again?

[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_03]: That was playing my trombone.

[01:16:50] [SPEAKER_07]: It's the distance.

[01:16:51] [SPEAKER_08]: For that, Brian, you are down to one cream.

[01:16:56] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm giving one cream to Ryan.

[01:16:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, let's go.

[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Good job, Harold.

[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_08]: I know, baby.

[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Good job, Harold.

[01:17:02] [SPEAKER_08]: Well done.

[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: No cream to Ryan.

[01:17:06] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[01:17:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Voice of God.

[01:17:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Can you hear me?

[01:17:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, Lord.

[01:17:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_07]: What are you?

[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_07]: We're over an hour in here.

[01:17:18] [SPEAKER_07]: How do you think it's going so far?

[01:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: This episode slaps.

[01:17:22] [SPEAKER_07]: This episode slaps?

[01:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.

[01:17:25] [SPEAKER_07]: What's been your favorite part of it, Voice of God?

[01:17:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, all of it, really.

[01:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But mainly the cream top that works for me.

[01:17:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And all this and all that.

[01:17:34] [SPEAKER_07]: All that.

[01:17:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Fantastic.

[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_07]: If you could.

[01:17:37] [SPEAKER_07]: What's the best?

[01:17:38] [SPEAKER_07]: What's your voice of God?

[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_07]: What's your go-to karaoke song?

[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's tough.

[01:17:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with Kiss from a Rose.

[01:17:49] [SPEAKER_07]: That's a good one.

[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, Voice of God.

[01:17:52] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for The Finish Line.

[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_06]: I wanted to ask you about halfway to find it.

[01:17:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, this is the last movie we did.

[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_06]: The Finish.

[01:18:01] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[01:18:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Two N's.

[01:18:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Are you saying Finland?

[01:18:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Finland.

[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_07]: The Finish.

[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Has anyone here been to Finland?

[01:18:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, my gosh.

[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_08]: No.

[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Anybody?

[01:18:08] [SPEAKER_06]: There's a Chicago movie, too.

[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_06]: If only we knew people.

[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_06]: The movie airs December 1st, 6 p.m.

[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Homework Channel.

[01:18:16] [SPEAKER_06]: It's with Kim Matula, Bo Murkoff, and Nicole Sakura.

[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I secured this job.

[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Inspired by her father's acclaimed legacy in dog sled racing, Anya, played by Matula, decides.

[01:18:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan, what do you think she decides?

[01:18:37] [SPEAKER_06]: What?

[01:18:39] [SPEAKER_06]: So good, he says.

[01:18:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, Dan.

[01:18:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, man.

[01:18:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Come on.

[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You're better than that.

[01:18:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Scolded.

[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_03]: That's tough.

[01:18:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Scold him.

[01:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, God, real quick while I got you.

[01:18:52] [SPEAKER_03]: What would you say is halfway between one and five creams?

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Three.

[01:18:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It's right down the middle.

[01:18:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That was good.

[01:18:59] That was good.

[01:18:59] Thank you.

[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_06]: After his passing, she heads to Finland to participate in the 40th annual...

[01:19:08] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not a J.

[01:19:09] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not?

[01:19:10] [SPEAKER_08]: It's going to be more like a Y.

[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Yula?

[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Yula Rula.

[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Yula Rula.

[01:19:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Yula Rula.

[01:19:15] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a big race.

[01:19:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Her father's final race, where he fell short in the victory.

[01:19:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Following an injury to her lead dog during the qualifying race, Anya finds herself partnered

[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_06]: with a new canine companion owned by journalist and former racer Cole, played by Mirkoff,

[01:19:34] [SPEAKER_06]: who aims to pen a story about her journey.

[01:19:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Struggling to build trust with her new dog and facing new father's rival, Monty.

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Nope.

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Not new father.

[01:19:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It's the regular father.

[01:19:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Same old father.

[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Same father.

[01:19:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Her father's rival, Monty.

[01:19:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Played by who, bro?

[01:19:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:19:52] [SPEAKER_08]: Who plays Monty?

[01:19:53] [SPEAKER_06]: You know that he's from...

[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_06]: You know it if you see it.

[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_06]: They're from Mr. Murphy.

[01:19:59] [SPEAKER_06]: It's pal Sig...

[01:20:00] [SPEAKER_06]: That's not a letter.

[01:20:02] [SPEAKER_06]: What is that?

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Just a character.

[01:20:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Sigbor Palson.

[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Anya must navigate many challenges as she strives to win the race.

[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's crazy.

[01:20:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian, what'd you think?

[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, man.

[01:20:17] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to Finland.

[01:20:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Finland.

[01:20:19] [SPEAKER_03]: We got the dog sled race.

[01:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Some challenges.

[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go three Pep Mokes on this one.

[01:20:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[01:20:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Alonzo.

[01:20:27] [SPEAKER_04]: This is like that...

[01:20:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure you saw that Mark Wahlberg dog movie.

[01:20:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, from this year?

[01:20:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Arthur the King, right?

[01:20:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:20:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Horrible dialogue in that film.

[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_04]: I really quite liked it.

[01:20:40] [SPEAKER_04]: This one sounds worse.

[01:20:42] [SPEAKER_04]: It has two Pep Mokes.

[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a sick movie, man.

[01:20:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Patrick.

[01:20:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what we call you, no cream po-ho.

[01:20:48] [SPEAKER_03]: What did Alonzo say?

[01:20:49] [SPEAKER_08]: Sorry, Ryan say?

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Ryan's three.

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_06]: How dare you?

[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_08]: Three?

[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_08]: We're off to get you.

[01:20:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan, what did you say here?

[01:20:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I went two Pep Mocas.

[01:20:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Two Pep Mokes.

[01:20:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Two.

[01:20:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:20:58] [SPEAKER_00]: The whole movie is screen grabbed and put on IMDb.

[01:21:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I am literally watching the movie right now, just scrolling through 97 photos of this

[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_00]: movie.

[01:21:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And it looks really exciting.

[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_00]: There's lots of dogs.

[01:21:14] [SPEAKER_00]: They're outside in the snow a lot.

[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_00]: There's another dog.

[01:21:18] [SPEAKER_00]: There are so many dogs in this movie.

[01:21:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And this movie could be the underdog movie of the year.

[01:21:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, underdog!

[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, let's go.

[01:21:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Play on words.

[01:21:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to go five and a cream on this.

[01:21:31] [SPEAKER_00]: What in the world just happened?

[01:21:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[01:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[01:21:35] [SPEAKER_06]: I like that.

[01:21:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You ever heard of Balto?

[01:21:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:21:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I have heard of Balto.

[01:21:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Put some respect on that statue.

[01:21:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Snow Dogs?

[01:21:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Thanksgiving Sunday at 6 p.m.

[01:21:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Snow Dogs, anybody?

[01:21:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's right.

[01:21:46] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[01:21:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Jax.

[01:21:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, when I heard the title, I was getting ready to have fun making fun of this one.

[01:21:53] [SPEAKER_09]: And then I don't know if it was your reading of it, Bran, or just the content itself, but

[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_09]: that her dad, that was his last race.

[01:22:04] [SPEAKER_09]: I genuinely was getting choked up thinking about it, and I actually think this is going

[01:22:07] [SPEAKER_09]: to be a really touching movie.

[01:22:09] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give it four.

[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_09]: Peppermint Mochers.

[01:22:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo?

[01:22:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, you know, every year Dave White asks me, where are the Doggy and Kitty movies?

[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_05]: And we don't really have any this year.

[01:22:20] [SPEAKER_05]: We have to settle for Snow Dogs, I guess.

[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_05]: But the travel movies I thought were all pretty good last year.

[01:22:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Kim Machula is not in Saturday Night nearly enough as Jane Curtin, but she is good for

[01:22:34] [SPEAKER_05]: the moments that she's there.

[01:22:36] [SPEAKER_05]: So, yeah, three and a half.

[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Why not?

[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I'm tough on this one because it seems like it's going to be sad.

[01:22:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It also seems like it's going to not have a lot of Christmas.

[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_06]: It seems like a lot of snow, but not a lot of Christmas.

[01:22:50] [SPEAKER_06]: But I could be wrong, but I am still going to go with four.

[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_06]: I got choked up.

[01:22:54] [SPEAKER_06]: You're going to be real tough on this one.

[01:22:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I was going to go three right down the middle.

[01:22:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Really put the hammer down here.

[01:22:59] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I think this could be my.

[01:23:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, my biggest concern is that we don't get nearly enough or too much dog racing, depending

[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_06]: on how it looks.

[01:23:08] [SPEAKER_06]: So I hope that they do the dog racing well.

[01:23:11] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that it could be an exciting movie.

[01:23:14] [SPEAKER_05]: The name of the race does have Yule in it, even though you did not pronounce it.

[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_05]: So there is that to look forward to.

[01:23:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[01:23:22] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry, Dan.

[01:23:23] [SPEAKER_07]: If you're just tuning in, that was Alonzo telling Brian there was another word he pronounced

[01:23:27] [SPEAKER_07]: incorrectly.

[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so Alonzo mentioned it, but last year's travel movies, I was really down on the preview

[01:23:34] [SPEAKER_07]: episode.

[01:23:35] [SPEAKER_07]: And then they were both the two that I remember were very much better than I remember that

[01:23:40] [SPEAKER_07]: like like I thought they're going to be, especially Heidelberg holiday, even Norwegian.

[01:23:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Like it wasn't my thing, but I got like I got why people enjoyed it.

[01:23:48] [SPEAKER_07]: And so based on that and my good vibes from that and Kim Machula, whom I love and dog sled.

[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Right.

[01:23:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, like all of this is working for me.

[01:24:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Optimistic down the middle, two and a half peppermint look.

[01:24:03] [SPEAKER_06]: You're going to cream it?

[01:24:04] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I'm not.

[01:24:05] [SPEAKER_06]: OK, no.

[01:24:06] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for the Christmas quest.

[01:24:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[01:24:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, boy.

[01:24:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[01:24:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Not enough buzz about this one so far.

[01:24:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I got to be honest with you.

[01:24:12] [SPEAKER_06]: December 1st, 8 p.m.

[01:24:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Hallmark Channel, Lacey Chabert and Chris Palaha.

[01:24:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Chris Palaha.

[01:24:21] [SPEAKER_06]: An archaeologist played by Chabert and her ex-husband Palaha.

[01:24:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's interesting.

[01:24:26] [SPEAKER_06]: An expert in ancient Norse languages are sent to Iceland at Christmastime to search for the legendary treasure of the Yule Lads.

[01:24:40] [SPEAKER_06]: When others join in the hunt, the pair find themselves swept into a thrilling adventure as they race to keep it from falling into the wrong place.

[01:24:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Indiana Jones National Treasure Christmas Quest.

[01:24:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, you get it.

[01:24:54] [SPEAKER_06]: My God.

[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_06]: They've done it.

[01:24:57] [SPEAKER_05]: You see, Palaha, there is nothing you can find that I cannot steal.

[01:25:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Brian.

[01:25:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:25:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Chabert, Palaha, ex-husband.

[01:25:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Last year, wasn't his movie he was fighting with his wife as well?

[01:25:10] [SPEAKER_03]: No more Christmas was last year.

[01:25:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Two years ago.

[01:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Two years ago.

[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Correct.

[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, he's been down this road before.

[01:25:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Very confident he's going to flip things around.

[01:25:19] [SPEAKER_03]: We're in Iceland.

[01:25:20] [SPEAKER_03]: So four peppermint mochas for me from Bran's Coffee Shop.

[01:25:23] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[01:25:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[01:25:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, listen.

[01:25:26] [SPEAKER_04]: This is why we're here, right?

[01:25:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, ultimately, like, we can talk about sequels and we can talk about football.

[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_04]: But ultimately, you know, it's Thanksgiving weekend.

[01:25:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Lacey Chabert has a movie on the schedule.

[01:25:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Chris Palaha is in it.

[01:25:38] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a big deal.

[01:25:39] [SPEAKER_04]: It's five.

[01:25:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a cream.

[01:25:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Five and a cream?

[01:25:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[01:25:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:25:47] [SPEAKER_06]: That's amazing.

[01:25:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Man, that's good stuff.

[01:25:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Right, Aaron?

[01:25:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Patrick.

[01:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, as you know, I, of course, we love the stars of this movie.

[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Filo.tv slash DTH.

[01:25:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[01:26:00] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[01:26:00] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[01:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: We love the stars of this movie, but there is something that no one is talking about.

[01:26:06] [SPEAKER_00]: The director slash writer of this movie, Dustin Riker, was a producer on not one, but two

[01:26:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Kelly Pickler Christmas movies.

[01:26:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And for that, it is unforgivable.

[01:26:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:26:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to go to mocus here.

[01:26:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you get it.

[01:26:21] [SPEAKER_07]: You get it.

[01:26:22] [SPEAKER_07]: All right.

[01:26:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Jax?

[01:26:25] [SPEAKER_09]: Look, Lacey Chabert, Queen of Christmas.

[01:26:27] [SPEAKER_09]: This looks almost as good as Hot Frosty, which we're going to be reviewing on Tech to Netflix,

[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_09]: right?

[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_09]: Are we still doing that business?

[01:26:33] [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, great.

[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Lord willing.

[01:26:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Very excited about that.

[01:26:36] [SPEAKER_09]: This looks great.

[01:26:37] [SPEAKER_09]: I also love the fact that they're exes because I think you have the whole, you know, it's

[01:26:43] [SPEAKER_09]: this established relationship that they're not falling in love quickly, but then there's

[01:26:47] [SPEAKER_09]: the animosity and the combativeness that I love and I think makes it really sexy.

[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to go ahead and give this four and a half peppermint mochas and a cream.

[01:26:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Whoa.

[01:26:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:26:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Nice.

[01:26:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Man.

[01:27:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[01:27:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[01:27:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I trust that, you know, there's a lot of eggs in this basket.

[01:27:07] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, we haven't had seen Chabert and Palaha together.

[01:27:10] [SPEAKER_05]: They shot it in Iceland.

[01:27:14] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, they're feeling Sunday after Thanksgiving about it.

[01:27:17] [SPEAKER_05]: So, yeah, I think this is a five and a cream movie.

[01:27:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Five and a cream?

[01:27:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm with you 100%.

[01:27:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, this is a five and a cream.

[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if this is my last cream or if I have one more after this, but it doesn't

[01:27:29] [SPEAKER_06]: matter.

[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_06]: You know what?

[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_06]: I have one more after this.

[01:27:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Great.

[01:27:32] [SPEAKER_06]: That makes me feel even better about the future, but I feel good about the right now.

[01:27:36] [SPEAKER_06]: This is five and a cream.

[01:27:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Not only does it have two juggernauts, but this sounds really fun.

[01:27:44] [SPEAKER_06]: This sounds really fun.

[01:27:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It could be really, really good.

[01:27:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I got high, high hopes.

[01:27:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Five and a cream.

[01:27:49] [SPEAKER_07]: You remember when Bran gave that big speech about his creams are used for movies that don't

[01:27:54] [SPEAKER_07]: get enough publicity and for the guys.

[01:27:57] [SPEAKER_07]: That was a fun time.

[01:27:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Here's my hot take about this movie.

[01:28:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Two years ago, I believe, I could be wrong, when the first Holly came out, big deal for

[01:28:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Lacey.

[01:28:07] [SPEAKER_07]: She kind of like became, she always was the queen of Christmas for us, but became this,

[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_07]: you know, big thing.

[01:28:14] [SPEAKER_07]: And that movie did so incredibly well and it got great ratings.

[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_07]: And that was like her year.

[01:28:19] [SPEAKER_07]: She's always great, but that was her year last year.

[01:28:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Biltmore Christmas.

[01:28:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Chris has been good for a long time.

[01:28:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Dickens of a holiday.

[01:28:25] [SPEAKER_07]: He's always good in these movies.

[01:28:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Last year was his year.

[01:28:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't think this is either of their years.

[01:28:30] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't.

[01:28:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I think that there are movies that Hallmark cares a lot more about.

[01:28:35] [SPEAKER_07]: This is in December here.

[01:28:36] [SPEAKER_07]: I know that it's the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

[01:28:39] [SPEAKER_07]: I, I, they're, they're counting on her play.

[01:28:41] [SPEAKER_07]: They're counting on Lacey to carry the day.

[01:28:43] [SPEAKER_07]: They have three wiser men and they have the, the touchdown movie.

[01:28:48] [SPEAKER_07]: And those two are going to be big ratings bonanzas.

[01:28:50] [SPEAKER_07]: And then they're putting this in a place where Lacey's presence will make it the third highest

[01:28:56] [SPEAKER_07]: viewed movie of the year.

[01:28:58] [SPEAKER_07]: I just think this might be a fun time, but not the most like anticipated nor the best from

[01:29:05] [SPEAKER_07]: either of these two whom I, but I love both dearly.

[01:29:08] [SPEAKER_07]: And I think they will do an admirable job, but this is not one that's very high on my list.

[01:29:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Two peppermint mochas, one for each of the leads.

[01:29:17] [SPEAKER_07]: That's all I've got.

[01:29:18] [SPEAKER_07]: I think you were looking for a ratings bazooki, by the way.

[01:29:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Bazooki.

[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_07]: And that was Chris Bonanza in that movie earlier.

[01:29:24] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:29:27] [SPEAKER_06]: We are heading to a streamer.

[01:29:29] [SPEAKER_06]: So everybody who still has stream cream.

[01:29:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Right.

[01:29:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Send a few plays out.

[01:29:33] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for season's greetings from Cherry Lane.

[01:29:39] [SPEAKER_06]: It is premiering on Hallmark Plus on December 5th.

[01:29:42] [SPEAKER_06]: It is starring Jonathan Bidzit, Annabelle Borg.

[01:29:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Bidzit?

[01:29:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Sorry.

[01:29:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Annabelle Borg, Corey Cotts, Sarah Dugdale, Shannon Cook, and Vincent Rodriguez.

[01:29:54] [SPEAKER_06]: I guess the third.

[01:29:55] [SPEAKER_06]: In 1951, a doctor, Cotts, wants to make the holiday special for his worried wife, Borg,

[01:30:02] [SPEAKER_06]: before he is shipped out to serve in Korea.

[01:30:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[01:30:06] [SPEAKER_06]: But when she suffers a minor fracture to her arm, his carefully planned out Christmas Eve plans are upended.

[01:30:14] [SPEAKER_06]: In 2003, a newly married couple, Dugdale and Cook, who are always in agreement about everything,

[01:30:22] [SPEAKER_06]: host two sets of in-laws for Christmas Eve.

[01:30:25] [SPEAKER_06]: And for the first time, I'm sorry, for the first time, and find out that they may not have as much in common as they thought they did.

[01:30:31] [SPEAKER_06]: And then in 2020, 24, a couple, Ben and Rodriguez III, tries to arrange special Christmas surprises for each other,

[01:30:40] [SPEAKER_06]: but keeping them a secret may be harder than they thought.

[01:30:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[01:30:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[01:30:49] [SPEAKER_03]: The first of the Cherry Lane trilogy.

[01:30:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Three of these we got coming up.

[01:30:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Yep.

[01:30:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like we're going to ramp up.

[01:30:55] [SPEAKER_03]: We're building up to something.

[01:30:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm going to go two and a half right down the middle on this one to start out.

[01:31:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Who said two and a half?

[01:31:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

[01:31:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Three right down the middle.

[01:31:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Two and a half right down the middle.

[01:31:04] [SPEAKER_03]: That's Brian and everybody.

[01:31:06] [SPEAKER_03]: What do you got?

[01:31:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Right down the middle.

[01:31:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not up to me.

[01:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Two and a half.

[01:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't make the rules.

[01:31:12] [SPEAKER_03]: God did.

[01:31:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, God did.

[01:31:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The voice of God.

[01:31:14] [SPEAKER_03]: The voice of God.

[01:31:14] [SPEAKER_03]: The voice of God.

[01:31:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So three right down the middle.

[01:31:16] [SPEAKER_07]: We know that's not an actual God because he liked the cream stuff.

[01:31:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:31:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Come on, God.

[01:31:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Save her apart.

[01:31:23] Damn it's good.

[01:31:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Ryan?

[01:31:27] [SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, this is really ambitious, and I think it's interesting.

[01:31:30] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm very curious to see what the other two or five, however many Cherry Lanes there are,

[01:31:34] [SPEAKER_04]: what those plots look like.

[01:31:35] [SPEAKER_07]: There are four Christmas Unwrapped movies, though.

[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_07]: I do know that.

[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Go ahead.

[01:31:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Right back to you.

[01:31:39] [SPEAKER_04]: A prism.

[01:31:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[01:31:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And so, I mean, if this was theatrical, I think I'd be really, really curious about it.

[01:31:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if I trust Hallmark to pull something like this off, but I am intrigued.

[01:31:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Three and a half right down the middle.

[01:31:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[01:31:54] [SPEAKER_00]: He's just outside the bounds.

[01:31:55] [SPEAKER_06]: He doesn't even care anymore.

[01:31:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Didn't this Cherry Lane thing already happen?

[01:32:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[01:32:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Am I crazy?

[01:32:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:32:01] [SPEAKER_06]: There was one last year.

[01:32:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[01:32:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Great.

[01:32:04] [SPEAKER_06]: You reviewed it.

[01:32:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Lifetime.com.

[01:32:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I'm having a stroke here because I've definitely seen it.

[01:32:36] [SPEAKER_09]: I've seen this movie.

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't even need anymore.

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I want to see all the actors that were in Cherry Lane do other things.

[01:32:42] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm just, I'm really not into this.

[01:32:45] [SPEAKER_09]: I am going to give it one and a half because I'm sure that it will be good.

[01:32:49] [SPEAKER_09]: But I just, yeah.

[01:32:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Why?

[01:32:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[01:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: This is the only gay thing that Hallmark is giving me this year.

[01:32:57] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's getting my total support for mochas and a cream, my stream cream for this one.

[01:33:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Shannon Cook, you may recall, is the smoke show in Big Fat Family Christmas.

[01:33:08] [SPEAKER_05]: He's also a Degrassi alum.

[01:33:10] [SPEAKER_05]: And we get Bennett and Rodriguez III back.

[01:33:14] [SPEAKER_05]: So I, I, I gotta be behind it.

[01:33:17] [SPEAKER_09]: I was going to.

[01:33:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Is this seriously the only.

[01:33:19] [SPEAKER_09]: That's it.

[01:33:20] [SPEAKER_09]: Yes.

[01:33:21] [SPEAKER_09]: Are you kidding me?

[01:33:23] [SPEAKER_07]: There's three of these movies.

[01:33:24] [SPEAKER_09]: No, but, but no, but this is the only like.

[01:33:27] [SPEAKER_09]: And it's on your streamer.

[01:33:29] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not on one of the two channels.

[01:33:31] [SPEAKER_07]: They can go.

[01:33:33] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[01:33:34] [SPEAKER_07]: We can go in.

[01:33:34] [SPEAKER_07]: But they do get Arrowhead Stadium.

[01:33:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't you worry.

[01:33:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I missed Wanda Lucas.

[01:33:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Well, now I'm like, now I'm like, should I give it higher?

[01:33:45] [SPEAKER_09]: It was, it was, it was when Patrick was giving me the go ahead.

[01:33:48] [SPEAKER_09]: He's like, as a fellow queer person, you don't have to rate it higher just because of it.

[01:33:53] [SPEAKER_09]: I give one half.

[01:33:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm a booster.

[01:33:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I admit it.

[01:33:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Jonathan Bennett's doing the reality show.

[01:33:58] [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll, we'll, we'll be on board for that.

[01:33:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

[01:34:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm in a tough spot now.

[01:34:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I was going to give it the latest, the lowest rating of the year for me.

[01:34:05] [SPEAKER_06]: And now what do I do?

[01:34:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo's up here being like, it's the only gay thing they're doing.

[01:34:09] [SPEAKER_06]: This year.

[01:34:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And this is tough for me.

[01:34:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm in a tough spot here, but I gotta, I gotta stick to my, my guns here.

[01:34:14] [SPEAKER_06]: This movie sucked for me last year because I got to write synopses and boy was it complicated.

[01:34:20] [SPEAKER_06]: And now they're out here and they're, I know what you're doing.

[01:34:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, let's do it triple.

[01:34:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's do it three.

[01:34:26] [SPEAKER_06]: And it's mean spirited.

[01:34:28] [SPEAKER_06]: First of all, I'm going to do this.

[01:34:30] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I'm going to do something I'd never wanted to do before in my life, but I'm doing

[01:34:34] [SPEAKER_06]: it right now.

[01:34:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going zero.

[01:34:36] [SPEAKER_06]: It's mean of them.

[01:34:37] [SPEAKER_06]: It's mean of them to do this.

[01:34:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Three of these movies, zero?

[01:34:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[01:34:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Dude.

[01:34:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Wow.

[01:34:43] [SPEAKER_07]: It's mean.

[01:34:43] [SPEAKER_07]: I knew you'd lost your Christmas spirit a year ago, but now it's just me.

[01:34:47] [SPEAKER_07]: You know what?

[01:34:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Zero for you.

[01:34:48] [SPEAKER_07]: He's not even trying to hide it now.

[01:34:49] [SPEAKER_06]: It's mean.

[01:34:51] [SPEAKER_06]: This is mean to me.

[01:34:52] [SPEAKER_07]: At this point in the year, too.

[01:34:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Nobody ever say that I'm neat on this show.

[01:34:55] [SPEAKER_06]: At this point in the year, too.

[01:34:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, sheesh.

[01:34:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Dan.

[01:34:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:35:00] [SPEAKER_07]: This movie was okay for me last year.

[01:35:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I thought some of the storylines worked better than others.

[01:35:05] [SPEAKER_07]: And I thought maybe with another attempt they could do it better.

[01:35:09] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm sad that I thought that because maybe that is why they're doing three of these.

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know, man.

[01:35:16] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not super excited about it.

[01:35:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me one peppermint mocha.

[01:35:19] [SPEAKER_07]: But I'm not brand either.

[01:35:20] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I got a little bit of spirit over here.

[01:35:22] [SPEAKER_07]: A little bit of, you know, cinnamon in the mocha.

[01:35:24] [SPEAKER_07]: You know?

[01:35:25] [SPEAKER_06]: You don't have to write the synopsis, man.

[01:35:26] [SPEAKER_06]: It's tough.

[01:35:27] [SPEAKER_06]: It's hard work.

[01:35:28] [SPEAKER_06]: But someone has to do it.

[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_06]: It's time for a dance in the snow.

[01:35:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it is.

[01:35:34] [SPEAKER_06]: It's December 5th, The Hallmark Mysteries.

[01:35:38] [SPEAKER_06]: And it is starring Erica, Sarah, Mark, Granimi.

[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Ganyme.

[01:35:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Dang it.

[01:35:48] [SPEAKER_06]: He was in the one last year with Kimberly Sutherford.

[01:35:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Do you have a favorite Ganyme?

[01:35:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Or what?

[01:35:55] [SPEAKER_06]: It was an anime joke.

[01:35:57] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I know.

[01:35:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Is it too late?

[01:35:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Is it too late?

[01:36:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Vanessa.

[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Howl's Moving Castle, does that count?

[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Burkhardt and Dorian Giordano.

[01:36:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Melanie is a 17-year-old autistic daughter.

[01:36:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Jenny is a senior in high school and looking forward to college.

[01:36:17] [SPEAKER_06]: After a bad experience her junior year,

[01:36:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Jenny is not interested in attending her final Christmas dance before graduating.

[01:36:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Melanie decides to surprise Jenny by getting involved in the school's planning committee to create a welcoming dance for all students.

[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_06]: That's nice.

[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Meanwhile, Jenny and her friends secretly plan their own party in part to honor Melanie.

[01:36:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Melanie works with Jenny's literature teacher on the dance and starts to fall for him while Jenny develops something special with a new classmate at school.

[01:36:52] [SPEAKER_06]: When the secrets snowball, however, their plans begin to drive a wedge between the usually tight-knit mother and daughter at the holidays.

[01:37:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.

[01:37:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Boy.

[01:37:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Boy.

[01:37:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian.

[01:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:37:08] [SPEAKER_07]: It's that time of year, huh?

[01:37:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:37:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I hate that it's driving a wedge.

[01:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't like snowballing secrets, but I hope they do a good job with all the dancing and whatnot.

[01:37:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go ahead and be optimistic for a dance in the snow.

[01:37:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to give this three peppermint mochas just from a brand shop.

[01:37:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[01:37:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:37:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I just really hope they do that dancing good.

[01:37:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:37:35] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the biggest thing.

[01:37:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, man.

[01:37:38] [SPEAKER_06]: You guys are high risk, high reward for sure with the dance.

[01:37:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:37:42] [SPEAKER_04]: It's risky business.

[01:37:43] [SPEAKER_04]: That's three for me as well.

[01:37:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[01:37:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[01:37:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know about this movie.

[01:37:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, this synopsis was very confusing.

[01:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand what's happening.

[01:37:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I got to go one mocha on this one.

[01:38:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[01:38:03] [SPEAKER_09]: So as much as Hallmark is disappointing me terribly with their lack of queer representation in this Christmas season,

[01:38:11] [SPEAKER_09]: I am glad that they are finally taking the feedback that they've gotten and actually having an autistic actor,

[01:38:19] [SPEAKER_09]: Vanessa Burghardt, play this role.

[01:38:22] [SPEAKER_09]: Thank goodness for that.

[01:38:23] [SPEAKER_09]: So I'm hopeful that it'll be done with some care.

[01:38:27] [SPEAKER_09]: So I'm going to give this three peppermint mochas.

[01:38:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[01:38:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, this is the third Christmas movie in as many years, I want to say, that has included an autistic character.

[01:38:39] [SPEAKER_05]: We had our Christmas journey.

[01:38:41] [SPEAKER_05]: We had the world record one.

[01:38:44] [SPEAKER_05]: And the first two were very much, I think, star driven.

[01:38:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Like the reason they worked is because they had Holly Robinson beat.

[01:38:52] [SPEAKER_05]: They had Nikki Deloach.

[01:38:55] [SPEAKER_05]: And Guy, you know, him.

[01:39:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Lucas Bryan.

[01:39:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.

[01:39:02] [SPEAKER_05]: But I mean, Mark Ganimay I liked in the movie last year.

[01:39:06] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'm not I don't know if there's enough here to to make this work in the Hallmark framework.

[01:39:14] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'll say two and a half down the middle.

[01:39:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Just, you know, with fingers crossed.

[01:39:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I'm in.

[01:39:20] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hopeful.

[01:39:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I felt like World Record Christmas last year handled this topic pretty well.

[01:39:28] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm in or I think that is a really great story to be told here.

[01:39:32] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm hopeful that it seems like they're going to give the character of Jenny a lot of screen time.

[01:39:41] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm hopeful for that.

[01:39:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that this could be a really moving story.

[01:39:47] [SPEAKER_06]: And it is December 5th.

[01:39:49] [SPEAKER_06]: And so it is time for me to get real sad because Christmas is almost over.

[01:39:54] [SPEAKER_06]: I will go.

[01:39:55] [SPEAKER_06]: It's 20 days before Christmas.

[01:39:56] [SPEAKER_06]: What are you talking about?

[01:39:57] [SPEAKER_06]: It's almost over.

[01:39:58] [SPEAKER_06]: The sad's already began.

[01:40:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to go with four for this one.

[01:40:02] [SPEAKER_09]: So Brent, I'm not saying this like to be meaner to make a joke.

[01:40:07] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, here we go.

[01:40:07] [SPEAKER_09]: You should talk to a therapist about this.

[01:40:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you should.

[01:40:11] [SPEAKER_07]: If December 5th is sad times, you got a problem, man.

[01:40:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Because it hasn't even happened yet.

[01:40:17] [SPEAKER_09]: And I don't want you to.

[01:40:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Like when's the happy part?

[01:40:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo?

[01:40:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I hear you.

[01:40:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.

[01:40:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[01:40:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Alonzo's with me.

[01:40:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Whatever.

[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo and I can go to therapy together.

[01:40:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Please do.

[01:40:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Couples Christmas Therapy.

[01:40:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Where's that movie?

[01:40:36] [SPEAKER_07]: I would watch.

[01:40:38] [SPEAKER_07]: I got to be honest.

[01:40:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Both with Our Christmas Journey and We're Rooker Christmas, both movies I was very low on.

[01:40:45] [SPEAKER_07]: And both are movies that were really touching to me.

[01:40:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Really hurt my heart in a lot of really good ways.

[01:40:52] [SPEAKER_07]: And were tough for me to watch.

[01:40:54] [SPEAKER_07]: And both were better than I expected.

[01:40:55] [SPEAKER_07]: And I would never watch either one of them ever again.

[01:40:59] [SPEAKER_07]: But that's just me.

[01:41:00] [SPEAKER_07]: So having said that, I do think they're going to handle it well.

[01:41:04] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm happy to hear that they have an actor with autism playing the role.

[01:41:09] [SPEAKER_07]: So respectful two and a half peppermint mochas here.

[01:41:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Did the previous two have autistic actors or not?

[01:41:16] [SPEAKER_07]: World Record Christmas did.

[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Did, yes.

[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_07]: And then Our Christmas Journey, I believe, did as well.

[01:41:21] [SPEAKER_07]: If I'm not mistaken.

[01:41:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, sorry.

[01:41:22] [SPEAKER_09]: I was thinking of Hallmark doing the thing where they've had seeing actors.

[01:41:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, right, right, right.

[01:41:28] [SPEAKER_09]: And then, you know, I just feel like they don't always handle this the best.

[01:41:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[01:41:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[01:41:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Private Princess Christmas.

[01:41:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, boy.

[01:41:36] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a weird title.

[01:41:38] [SPEAKER_06]: This is December 6th, 8 p.m.

[01:41:41] [SPEAKER_06]: It's starring Ali Scove Bebi and Derek Kleena.

[01:41:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Take it right to the Kleena.

[01:41:51] [SPEAKER_06]: By better known as Princess Violet.

[01:41:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, we got a royal movie, everybody.

[01:41:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Of Wingravia.

[01:41:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Wingravia?

[01:41:58] [SPEAKER_06]: What do you think?

[01:41:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Wingravia.

[01:42:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Princess Violet is her name.

[01:42:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Adores the privileges of being royal.

[01:42:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I should think so.

[01:42:05] [SPEAKER_06]: We were made to be royals.

[01:42:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:42:07] [SPEAKER_06]: I discovered royal.

[01:42:08] [SPEAKER_06]: You did discover lord.

[01:42:09] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[01:42:10] [SPEAKER_06]: If none of the responsibilities.

[01:42:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, if none of the responsibilities.

[01:42:14] [SPEAKER_06]: After being disappointed by Vi one too many times,

[01:42:17] [SPEAKER_06]: the queen decides to test her daughter's metal?

[01:42:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Metal.

[01:42:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Metal.

[01:42:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Metal.

[01:42:22] [SPEAKER_06]: How do you test it?

[01:42:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Is there a metal?

[01:42:25] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a detector.

[01:42:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a metal detector.

[01:42:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Once and for all in issues and ultimatum,

[01:42:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Vi must pass a vigorous leadership boot camp in Colorado.

[01:42:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Why do we got to bring boot camp?

[01:42:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Every other movie this year.

[01:42:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Or lose the Christmas of boot camp.

[01:42:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Or lose the throne to her uncle.

[01:42:45] [SPEAKER_06]: At boot camp, Vi and her fellow cadets are put through a rigorous grind under the uncompromising supervision of Captain Ryan Douglas.

[01:42:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Taking them to the cleaners.

[01:43:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Is that it?

[01:43:01] [SPEAKER_07]: That's it, man.

[01:43:01] [SPEAKER_07]: That's it?

[01:43:02] [SPEAKER_07]: So it's getting late in December.

[01:43:04] [SPEAKER_07]: That's what happens this time of year.

[01:43:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, boy.

[01:43:06] [SPEAKER_05]: And that's why we're sad.

[01:43:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, my God.

[01:43:09] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[01:43:10] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[01:43:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[01:43:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I think in couples Christmas therapy, the problem is both in the couple are over the top.

[01:43:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not like one is obsessed and one isn't.

[01:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: They're both too much.

[01:43:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, of course.

[01:43:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:43:24] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the move.

[01:43:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:43:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So we got to do that.

[01:43:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[01:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: At first, I'm like, this could be a lot of fun.

[01:43:30] [SPEAKER_03]: We could do some fun stuff.

[01:43:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It could be really funny.

[01:43:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And then I'm realizing, yeah, we're kind of in the throes here.

[01:43:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Early December, I'm just going to go two peppermint mochas.

[01:43:41] [SPEAKER_07]: That's Brian kindly spitting on a movie, everybody.

[01:43:44] [SPEAKER_07]: For those listening at home.

[01:43:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Ryan, the coffee shop's back open.

[01:43:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Come on in.

[01:43:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, thanks, pal.

[01:43:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Even if they're free, you're not going more than one.

[01:43:53] [SPEAKER_04]: There's like, I don't know, like kind of a Cadet Kelly vibe.

[01:43:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:43:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my God.

[01:43:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my gosh.

[01:43:59] [SPEAKER_04]: And then I also think that what this has working for it, that only a few others, like the boot camp thing.

[01:44:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Like maybe they're just like, maybe all these boot camp movies are really going to crush.

[01:44:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.

[01:44:08] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'll go.

[01:44:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You're team boot camp.

[01:44:10] [SPEAKER_03]: One half.

[01:44:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:44:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:44:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll go three and leave it there.

[01:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Patrick.

[01:44:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the royal family was like over when the queen died.

[01:44:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm surprised.

[01:44:20] [SPEAKER_00]: RIP, obviously.

[01:44:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:44:22] [SPEAKER_00]: RIP to the queen.

[01:44:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And there's no Christmas in the synopsis at all.

[01:44:27] [SPEAKER_00]: There's literally nothing about anything Christmas.

[01:44:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So that does not make a good Christmas movie.

[01:44:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good point.

[01:44:36] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think we're going to go a half a mug on this.

[01:44:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[01:44:43] [SPEAKER_09]: I loved Derek Clenna and Jagged Little Pill.

[01:44:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Allie was really great in Firefly Lane.

[01:44:49] [SPEAKER_09]: But like, just note of this.

[01:44:51] [SPEAKER_09]: All I can hear are the terrible transatlantic accents.

[01:44:54] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm not interested.

[01:44:55] [SPEAKER_09]: One peppermint mocha.

[01:44:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[01:45:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Zero.

[01:45:02] [SPEAKER_05]: There it is.

[01:45:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Absolutely.

[01:45:06] [SPEAKER_07]: This makes you want Christmas to get here sooner.

[01:45:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Am I right?

[01:45:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I obviously there is half a synopsis here.

[01:45:15] [SPEAKER_06]: We lost it in the mail.

[01:45:18] [SPEAKER_06]: But the first half that I got, I really like.

[01:45:22] [SPEAKER_06]: So I got to go down the middle with three.

[01:45:24] [SPEAKER_06]: And you mentioned Cadet Kelly, Ryan.

[01:45:28] [SPEAKER_06]: And I had the same thought here.

[01:45:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm creaming this movie.

[01:45:33] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm utilizing my final cream.

[01:45:35] [SPEAKER_06]: You're out of creams?

[01:45:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm out of creams.

[01:45:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I sped up and I passed by.

[01:45:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I passed by Ryan on my way to the coffee shop.

[01:45:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I am three and a cream on.

[01:45:47] [SPEAKER_06]: You have lost your mind.

[01:45:49] [SPEAKER_06]: You mean the name of Private Princess Christmas?

[01:45:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Just talking about unwarranted cream.

[01:45:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my gosh.

[01:45:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:45:57] [SPEAKER_07]: This movie sounds like utter trash.

[01:45:59] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm sure everybody that made it is wonderful.

[01:46:01] [SPEAKER_07]: And they're doing their best.

[01:46:02] [SPEAKER_07]: And maybe it'll surprise me.

[01:46:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Because this happens two or three times a year.

[01:46:05] [SPEAKER_07]: And that's my only hope for this movie.

[01:46:08] [SPEAKER_07]: A royal movie without the royal.

[01:46:10] [SPEAKER_07]: A boot camp movie, which I'm already pre-over.

[01:46:13] [SPEAKER_07]: And it doesn't sound like there's any Christmas in sight.

[01:46:16] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a hard note for me.

[01:46:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Zero.

[01:46:18] [SPEAKER_06]: If there is a step competition in this movie, oh my gosh.

[01:46:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I am here for it.

[01:46:25] [SPEAKER_06]: The Cadet Kelly episode of DCOM.

[01:46:27] [SPEAKER_06]: It's already cut.

[01:46:27] [SPEAKER_06]: This is weeks later.

[01:46:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's out.

[01:46:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Go listen to it.

[01:46:30] [SPEAKER_06]: DCOM Descendants.

[01:46:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Sugar Plumbed.

[01:46:32] [SPEAKER_06]: It is December 7th.

[01:46:33] [SPEAKER_06]: 8 p.m.

[01:46:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Hallmark Channel is starring Maggie Lawson and Janelle Parrish.

[01:46:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[01:46:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Emily, played by Lawson, has always dreamed of creating the perfect Christmas.

[01:46:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Meticulously planning every detail year after year, only to feel like she's falling short.

[01:46:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my gosh.

[01:46:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Hoping to bring her family closer together, she makes a wish for a holiday as picture perfect

[01:46:54] [SPEAKER_06]: as the one that she sees in a made-for-TV holiday movie.

[01:46:58] [SPEAKER_06]: To her shock, Sugar Plumb, played by Parrish, the film's relentlessly optimistic

[01:47:03] [SPEAKER_06]: main character.

[01:47:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Magically steps off the screen, and I'm realizing I may have used a cream on the wrong movie.

[01:47:11] [SPEAKER_06]: No!

[01:47:13] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a royal boot camp movie?

[01:47:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Really?

[01:47:16] [SPEAKER_07]: I may have done goofed.

[01:47:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:47:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Send me to boot camp.

[01:47:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't know boot camp.

[01:47:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Shut that cream off.

[01:47:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Where?

[01:47:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Send me to cream boot camp.

[01:47:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I gotta let you learn how to use these things.

[01:47:26] [SPEAKER_06]: This is a lot of power.

[01:47:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:47:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Um, magically steps off the screen to make Emily's wish come true, whether she's ready

[01:47:32] [SPEAKER_06]: for it or not.

[01:47:33] [SPEAKER_06]: As Sugar Plumb applies her movie world rules to real life, Emily gets caught up in the possibility

[01:47:39] [SPEAKER_06]: of finally achieving the flawless family Christmas.

[01:47:44] [SPEAKER_06]: But when Sugar Plumb's magical fixes start to backfire one by one, Emily begins to question

[01:47:50] [SPEAKER_06]: what an ideal holiday really is.

[01:47:53] [SPEAKER_06]: With time running out, Emily and Sugar Plumb find themselves on a heartwarming adventure,

[01:47:57] [SPEAKER_06]: one that might just amount to an entirely different kind of Christmastime perfection.

[01:48:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's go.

[01:48:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian.

[01:48:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Man, it's December 7th.

[01:48:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It's why we're here.

[01:48:06] [SPEAKER_03]: It's why we're here, guys.

[01:48:14] [SPEAKER_03]: This is five from Brand's free coffee stand all day, all night.

[01:48:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to leave it right there.

[01:48:19] [SPEAKER_08]: His cafe got downgraded to a stand.

[01:48:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:48:21] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's also got a C from the Department of Health.

[01:48:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, it's in addition.

[01:48:25] [SPEAKER_07]: We want to wait for free mochas, but it's cream and royal boot camp movies.

[01:48:29] [SPEAKER_07]: So take that for what it's worth.

[01:48:30] [SPEAKER_06]: They said that we are giving out too much coffee.

[01:48:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[01:48:33] [SPEAKER_06]: They said that causes a bit of a hazard.

[01:48:35] [SPEAKER_07]: And coffee is barely coffee.

[01:48:37] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like how Subway says it's bread, but it's not bread.

[01:48:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But I'm giving them five.

[01:48:40] [SPEAKER_03]: You know cream, though?

[01:48:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Nope.

[01:48:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:48:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:48:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian.

[01:48:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm really torn here.

[01:48:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Happy to have Maggie Lawson back.

[01:48:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Been a big fan for a very long time.

[01:48:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, shout out Psych.

[01:48:51] [SPEAKER_04]: And like, you know, been a staple of, you know, me watching her on TV since honestly I was a kid.

[01:48:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Very, very funny.

[01:48:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Very, very talented comedic actress.

[01:48:58] [SPEAKER_04]: This synopsis sounds awesome.

[01:49:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm definitely going five.

[01:49:04] [SPEAKER_04]: The torn aspect is the cream of it all.

[01:49:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Because Mark Summers is going to come up later on.

[01:49:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what to do.

[01:49:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Mark Summers is coming up.

[01:49:11] [SPEAKER_07]: You got nothing.

[01:49:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:49:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:49:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to see Maggie Lawson at New York Comic Con.

[01:49:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll apologize in person.

[01:49:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to hold on.

[01:49:17] [SPEAKER_04]: This is unbelievable.

[01:49:18] [SPEAKER_07]: You would rather have a stunt casting cameo and cream it.

[01:49:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Be careful about the way you talk about Mark Summers.

[01:49:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I just want to be very clear.

[01:49:29] [SPEAKER_07]: What matters to you, Rye, is the stunt casting.

[01:49:33] [SPEAKER_09]: I think Mark Summers had like a one-man show off Broadway earlier.

[01:49:39] [SPEAKER_09]: He did.

[01:49:39] [SPEAKER_09]: He did.

[01:49:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Brian promised us tickets and never came through.

[01:49:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Brian drug that rating out of a giant nose.

[01:49:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.

[01:49:47] [SPEAKER_06]: He's got Gak on him.

[01:49:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Not cream, though.

[01:49:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Very different.

[01:49:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[01:49:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[01:49:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[01:49:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Janelle Parrish from Pretty Little Liars is so good.

[01:49:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So I can't wait to see her play a fish out of water.

[01:50:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like an enchanted kind of vibe, I'm hoping.

[01:50:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's going to be so fun.

[01:50:05] [SPEAKER_00]: We love Christmas magic.

[01:50:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And we love Christmas magic being like, you know, a Hallmark movie character coming into

[01:50:12] [SPEAKER_00]: the real world.

[01:50:13] [SPEAKER_00]: That's hilarious.

[01:50:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Cannot wait for her to like try to, you know, use a Keurig or something and be totally failing.

[01:50:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, five mugs and a cream on this one.

[01:50:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[01:50:27] [SPEAKER_09]: So when I saw the two photos of Janelle Parrish and Maggie Lawson, like I was hearing Chappelle

[01:50:32] [SPEAKER_09]: Rhone in my head.

[01:50:33] [SPEAKER_09]: I was hearing Muna.

[01:50:34] [SPEAKER_09]: I was like, oh my gosh, I can't wait to see the kids.

[01:50:37] [SPEAKER_09]: And then I read the synopsis and I was like, oh wait, maybe I just missed something.

[01:50:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Read it four times only to realize that like it's not a romance.

[01:50:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Like hopefully, honestly, like I'll take a little queer baiting.

[01:50:49] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm fine with that for this one.

[01:50:52] [SPEAKER_09]: I actually think though, this is going to be so fun to actually not see a romance in this

[01:50:58] [SPEAKER_09]: and see what else Hallmark can do with it.

[01:51:00] [SPEAKER_09]: I think it'll actually be really great.

[01:51:02] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give it five for my mochas and I'm going to give it a cream.

[01:51:05] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm so excited.

[01:51:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo?

[01:51:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Do I want Hallmark to have fun and be meta and poke fun at themselves?

[01:51:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[01:51:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Do I trust them to do it well?

[01:51:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know that I do.

[01:51:19] [SPEAKER_05]: And do I believe that they're not going to also somehow shoehorn a romance into this

[01:51:23] [SPEAKER_05]: the way they do into everything else?

[01:51:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I also don't trust it.

[01:51:27] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to say four, no cream.

[01:51:33] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm giving this movie five and I would cream it if I could.

[01:51:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hoping.

[01:51:39] [SPEAKER_07]: The holster's empty.

[01:51:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hoping.

[01:51:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Boot camp, what are you going to do?

[01:51:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Some of the cream from boot camp like trickles down.

[01:51:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, shoot.

[01:51:47] [SPEAKER_06]: But this movie, this is a perfect synopsis.

[01:51:50] [SPEAKER_07]: How do you get to Mark Summers?

[01:51:51] [SPEAKER_07]: What are you anticipating?

[01:51:52] [SPEAKER_07]: You're going to be sound asleep.

[01:51:56] [SPEAKER_06]: This is a perfect synopsis.

[01:51:58] [SPEAKER_06]: It's giving me a little bit of my favorite ABC family Christmas movie of all time, Snow

[01:52:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Globe.

[01:52:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It's giving me a little bit of that vibe.

[01:52:06] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that this has the possibility to be perfect for a lot of the reasons that

[01:52:11] [SPEAKER_06]: have been mentioned already.

[01:52:12] [SPEAKER_06]: A perfect synopsis.

[01:52:13] [SPEAKER_06]: A perfect movie.

[01:52:14] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll find out.

[01:52:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[01:52:16] [SPEAKER_05]: You like Snow Globe better than 12 Days of Christmas?

[01:52:18] [SPEAKER_06]: You have lost your mind.

[01:52:19] [SPEAKER_06]: I do, yes.

[01:52:20] [SPEAKER_05]: For three days.

[01:52:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, no, no.

[01:52:22] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[01:52:23] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm with Alonzo there.

[01:52:24] [SPEAKER_07]: All right, guys.

[01:52:25] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm freaking sorry.

[01:52:26] [SPEAKER_07]: I also just think this movie just sounds a little too good to be true.

[01:52:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, it's getting a cream for me because I think the synopsis is perfectly written.

[01:52:36] [SPEAKER_07]: It's just no romance, at least on the surface of this movie.

[01:52:41] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm worried they are going to mess it up.

[01:52:43] [SPEAKER_07]: But based upon the Maggie Lawson and Janelle Parrish of it all combined with the synopsis

[01:52:48] [SPEAKER_07]: of it all, I can't help but be excited for this movie, even if there's a chance of disappointment.

[01:52:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Four pep moaks and a cream.

[01:52:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Wonderful.

[01:52:59] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:52:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's get to Leah's perfect gift.

[01:53:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, can we?

[01:53:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It's her perfect gift.

[01:53:05] [SPEAKER_08]: What if it's Leah?

[01:53:06] [SPEAKER_03]: What if?

[01:53:07] [SPEAKER_03]: What if it was?

[01:53:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's do it both ways.

[01:53:10] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll do it both ways.

[01:53:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Isn't there that other movie, Loving Leah?

[01:53:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Loving Leah.

[01:53:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[01:53:15] [SPEAKER_06]: No, that's actually really good.

[01:53:16] [SPEAKER_08]: What if this is the sequel to Loving Leah?

[01:53:18] [SPEAKER_06]: That's why you're the producer.

[01:53:19] [SPEAKER_06]: You're producing.

[01:53:20] [SPEAKER_06]: That's pure producing right there.

[01:53:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll do one for Leah and then we'll do another one for Leah.

[01:53:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Perfect.

[01:53:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Either way, though, it's starring Emily Arlok.

[01:53:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Arlok?

[01:53:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Evan Roderick and Barbara Niven.

[01:53:34] [SPEAKER_06]: December 8th.

[01:53:35] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if I said that on the homework channel.

[01:53:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Leah Meyer is a bona fide lover of Christmas.

[01:53:41] [SPEAKER_06]: The trees, the ornaments, the eggnog.

[01:53:44] [SPEAKER_06]: But she has always admired the holiday from afar because she's Jewish.

[01:53:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Though her family celebrates Hanukkah, Leah has longed to experience a traditional Christmas.

[01:53:55] [SPEAKER_06]: When her boyfriend Graham invites her to spend the holidays with his classic Connecticut family,

[01:54:02] [SPEAKER_06]: she eagerly accepts.

[01:54:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Excited to dive into the quintessential Christmas she's always dreamed of,

[01:54:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Leah quickly discovers that fitting in with Graham's uptight family

[01:54:12] [SPEAKER_06]: and his not-so-welcoming mom, played by Niven,

[01:54:15] [SPEAKER_06]: is easier said than done.

[01:54:17] [SPEAKER_06]: As holiday traditions crash, clash, and awkward moments.

[01:54:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's do one with clash.

[01:54:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Lightning clashes.

[01:54:25] [SPEAKER_06]: And awkward moments.

[01:54:27] [SPEAKER_06]: And awkward moments.

[01:54:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Power up.

[01:54:29] [SPEAKER_06]: It is not quite the cozy Christmas that she expected.

[01:54:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[01:54:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm worried about this thing.

[01:54:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Bless you.

[01:54:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Doing the whole thing where it's like we're going to do all the stuff,

[01:54:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're like, no, we're not.

[01:54:42] [SPEAKER_03]: That's so lame.

[01:54:43] [SPEAKER_03]: We do white lights only.

[01:54:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[01:54:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Sounds personal.

[01:54:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where to go.

[01:54:49] [SPEAKER_03]: But Barbara Niven.

[01:54:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And Roderick.

[01:54:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And Arlok over there.

[01:54:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So to be safe, play it right down the middle.

[01:54:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Three Peppermint Mochas.

[01:55:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan?

[01:55:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, honestly, if this had been a couple weeks ago,

[01:55:04] [SPEAKER_04]: this one would not have had me jumping up and down.

[01:55:06] [SPEAKER_04]: But Emily Arlok is really, really, really good

[01:55:08] [SPEAKER_04]: in the Kristen Bell, Adam Brody Netflix vehicle.

[01:55:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Nobody wants this.

[01:55:13] [SPEAKER_04]: She steals a lot of the scenes that she's in.

[01:55:15] [SPEAKER_04]: So I will give anything she's in a chance.

[01:55:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Give me three and a half right down.

[01:55:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Patrick.

[01:55:23] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, if you use a seven mocha scale,

[01:55:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Ryan's ratings make a lot more sense.

[01:55:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like Connecticut down the middle.

[01:55:29] [SPEAKER_08]: Were his creams also on a seven mocha scale?

[01:55:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Hey, that's not white.

[01:55:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That's not nice.

[01:55:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[01:55:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So Evan Roderick is very hot.

[01:55:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[01:55:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So hot.

[01:55:45] [SPEAKER_07]: I can't believe we let Patrick say that on this podcast.

[01:55:47] [SPEAKER_07]: You know what I mean?

[01:55:48] [SPEAKER_07]: We'll take it out.

[01:55:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just edit me out.

[01:55:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Just leave me.

[01:55:52] [SPEAKER_06]: We actually have to edit out most of what you said.

[01:55:55] [SPEAKER_05]: We're operating with bubbly chest standards here.

[01:55:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[01:55:59] [SPEAKER_08]: When you watch this back, Patrick's not in it at all.

[01:56:01] [SPEAKER_07]: You should have random tidbits about Royals.

[01:56:05] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like a weird, like, you know.

[01:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Too gay to function.

[01:56:09] [SPEAKER_00]: But Barbara, Nevin, Nevin, whatever, playing like a-

[01:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It's neither of those.

[01:56:14] [SPEAKER_07]: It's Nevin.

[01:56:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Nevin.

[01:56:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm talking about.

[01:56:18] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not Nevin and it's not Nevin.

[01:56:19] [SPEAKER_07]: It's Nevin.

[01:56:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know Barbara.

[01:56:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Barbara.

[01:56:22] [SPEAKER_00]: We call her Barb.

[01:56:24] [SPEAKER_00]: She's pulling like a Nicole Kidman, Connecticut mother.

[01:56:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I can't wait to see her do that and not be nice.

[01:56:31] [SPEAKER_00]: She's always nice.

[01:56:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I never see her be mean.

[01:56:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm really excited for that.

[01:56:36] [SPEAKER_00]: We'll go three and a half mocha cups.

[01:56:39] Great.

[01:56:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Jax?

[01:56:41] [SPEAKER_07]: She's gone?

[01:56:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Alonzo?

[01:56:43] [SPEAKER_07]: No, I was on the fence.

[01:56:45] [SPEAKER_07]: But Barbara Nevin?

[01:56:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[01:56:47] [SPEAKER_07]: We'll get you back.

[01:56:48] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll get you back.

[01:56:49] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[01:56:49] [SPEAKER_08]: We're going to go to Alonzo real quick.

[01:56:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax has up her white power screen.

[01:56:52] [SPEAKER_06]: We're still there.

[01:56:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Just give us a second.

[01:56:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo, you go first.

[01:56:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Sure.

[01:56:56] [SPEAKER_05]: This seems like somebody heard you guys do the review of whatever the movie was where the

[01:57:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Jewish guy comes home for Christmas and doesn't know anything about Christmas.

[01:57:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, he's hearing about all of it for the first time as the 30-year-old man.

[01:57:12] [SPEAKER_05]: So the idea of a Jewish woman who digs Christmas but has ever actually celebrated Christmas,

[01:57:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I think is a fun idea.

[01:57:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Rina has my back on this one.

[01:57:23] [SPEAKER_05]: And I do love me a Barbara Nevin.

[01:57:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, can we put the Oy Vey apron on her like from that other stupid movie?

[01:57:28] [SPEAKER_05]: That would be great.

[01:57:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to say three and a half.

[01:57:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I have confidence that this is a Hanukkah versus Christmas movie that understands how ludicrous it is

[01:57:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and is going to play with that.

[01:57:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Wonderful.

[01:57:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax, I think we have you.

[01:57:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Jax, whenever you're ready.

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Sorry.

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_09]: You can hear me now?

[01:57:48] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[01:57:49] [SPEAKER_07]: You bet.

[01:57:50] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, shoot.

[01:57:51] [SPEAKER_09]: No, I am ready.

[01:57:52] [SPEAKER_09]: You're on a heavy delay now.

[01:57:53] [SPEAKER_06]: I think you moved rooms.

[01:57:55] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:57:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[01:57:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Wonderful.

[01:57:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Jax, whenever you're ready.

[01:58:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Whenever you're ready, Jax.

[01:58:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.

[01:58:08] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:10] [SPEAKER_06]: All right, Jax, whenever you're ready.

[01:58:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Got it.

[01:58:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, Brent.

[01:58:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You ready for the Leah take?

[01:58:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to try the bathroom.

[01:58:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax, whenever you're ready.

[01:58:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I promise we'll hear from Jax soon.

[01:58:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We're going to go.

[01:58:24] [SPEAKER_06]: We're going to go.

[01:58:25] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:26] [SPEAKER_09]: Let's try the bathroom.

[01:58:28] [SPEAKER_09]: Let's try the bathroom.

[01:58:30] [SPEAKER_09]: Let's try the bathroom.

[01:58:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Is it two?

[01:58:36] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:37] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax, Leah's perfect gift.

[01:58:40] [SPEAKER_09]: Two.

[01:58:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Is it better in here?

[01:58:43] [SPEAKER_06]: We're going to get to Leah's.

[01:58:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It is.

[01:58:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Any time now.

[01:58:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:58:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:58:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Is it better in here?

[01:58:48] [SPEAKER_09]: All right.

[01:58:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:58:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Try.

[01:58:50] [SPEAKER_09]: Say it now.

[01:58:51] [SPEAKER_09]: What do you got?

[01:58:51] [SPEAKER_09]: Four trick.

[01:58:54] [SPEAKER_06]: What do you got?

[01:58:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Two peppermint mochas.

[01:58:59] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to go with four.

[01:59:01] [SPEAKER_07]: I cannot hear four.

[01:59:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to put you down for two.

[01:59:04] [SPEAKER_07]: We're going to put you down for two.

[01:59:05] [SPEAKER_07]: The standard two.

[01:59:06] [SPEAKER_07]: We'll do a standard two.

[01:59:07] [SPEAKER_05]: We have a new shirt.

[01:59:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four.

[01:59:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to go four peppermint mochas.

[01:59:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So you're doing Jax's rating times two.

[01:59:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm doing Jax times two.

[01:59:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[01:59:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Dan?

[01:59:22] [SPEAKER_07]: What a time to be alive.

[01:59:24] [SPEAKER_07]: This is my sleeper of the year.

[01:59:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if it's going to be any good.

[01:59:30] [SPEAKER_07]: It could be terrible,

[01:59:31] [SPEAKER_07]: but with the folks involved

[01:59:32] [SPEAKER_07]: and the plot

[01:59:33] [SPEAKER_07]: could be sneaky fun.

[01:59:36] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you,

[01:59:40] [SPEAKER_07]: peppermint mochas,

[01:59:41] [SPEAKER_07]: no cream.

[01:59:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Sleeper of the year

[01:59:43] [SPEAKER_07]: could be great though.

[01:59:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Could be great.

[01:59:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Three and a half.

[01:59:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[01:59:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:59:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Gosh.

[01:59:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Just giving it out.

[01:59:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Did you come to mind?

[01:59:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Come to mind?

[01:59:50] [SPEAKER_07]: What was that?

[01:59:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Did you come to mind?

[01:59:52] [SPEAKER_07]: My coffee shop?

[01:59:53] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[01:59:53] [SPEAKER_07]: No, no, no.

[01:59:54] [SPEAKER_07]: That's real.

[01:59:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Those aren't fake ones.

[01:59:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Those are real boys.

[01:59:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Jax,

[01:59:58] [SPEAKER_07]: how many for you?

[01:59:58] [SPEAKER_07]: One more time.

[01:59:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Just so we have it.

[02:00:00] [SPEAKER_07]: For the record.

[02:00:02] [SPEAKER_07]: She's gone with us.

[02:00:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh,

[02:00:04] [SPEAKER_06]: she's back.

[02:00:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Peace.

[02:00:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Guys,

[02:00:09] [SPEAKER_06]: bye the .tv.

[02:00:14] [SPEAKER_09]: the Wi-Fi.

[02:00:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[02:00:17] [SPEAKER_06]: You're doing a great job.

[02:00:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's head back to Hallmark Plus,

[02:00:24] [SPEAKER_06]: shall we?

[02:00:25] [SPEAKER_07]: They said a two-hour preview episode

[02:00:26] [SPEAKER_07]: was a bad idea.

[02:00:28] [SPEAKER_07]: It's too long.

[02:00:28] [SPEAKER_07]: It's midnight here on the East Coast.

[02:00:30] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean,

[02:00:30] [SPEAKER_08]: I wish it was a little earlier.

[02:00:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Nah.

[02:00:32] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[02:00:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Well,

[02:00:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[02:00:51] [SPEAKER_08]: It's definitely not Jackson.

[02:00:52] [SPEAKER_06]: It's definitely not Jackson.

[02:00:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Definitely not Jackson.

[02:00:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Happy Holidays from Cherry Lane.

[02:00:57] [SPEAKER_06]: It is starring Benjamin Ayers,

[02:01:36] [SPEAKER_06]: to get through the holiday

[02:01:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Father Ray.

[02:01:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Abraham.

[02:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Can I ask you a question

[02:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: about him?

[02:01:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Did he,

[02:01:53] [SPEAKER_06]: like,

[02:01:53] [SPEAKER_06]: um,

[02:01:54] [SPEAKER_06]: I know he's a father,

[02:01:55] [SPEAKER_06]: but like,

[02:01:56] [SPEAKER_06]: what's the number?

[02:01:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Where are we at?

[02:01:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Many sons.

[02:01:58] [SPEAKER_07]: How many?

[02:01:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Many sons had Father Abraham.

[02:02:01] [SPEAKER_08]: And I am one of them.

[02:02:01] [SPEAKER_08]: I am too.

[02:02:02] [SPEAKER_06]: You're one of them.

[02:02:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I am one of them.

[02:02:04] [SPEAKER_06]: And so are you.

[02:02:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's praise the Lord.

[02:02:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Right arm.

[02:02:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Shout out to everybody

[02:02:11] [SPEAKER_07]: still with us.

[02:02:13] [SPEAKER_07]: It's just me.

[02:02:14] [SPEAKER_06]: so,

[02:02:15] [SPEAKER_06]: but,

[02:02:15] [SPEAKER_06]: but,

[02:02:15] [SPEAKER_06]: but,

[02:02:17] [SPEAKER_06]: the son Alex.

[02:02:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay,

[02:02:18] [SPEAKER_06]: in 1998,

[02:02:19] [SPEAKER_06]: we see Regina,

[02:02:21] [SPEAKER_06]: played by Belle,

[02:02:21] [SPEAKER_06]: and,

[02:02:21] [SPEAKER_06]: uh,

[02:02:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Nelson,

[02:02:22] [SPEAKER_06]: played by Denton.

[02:02:23] [SPEAKER_06]: First meeting,

[02:02:24] [SPEAKER_06]: stuck,

[02:02:24] [SPEAKER_06]: oh,

[02:02:25] [SPEAKER_06]: so this is,

[02:02:25] [SPEAKER_06]: uh,

[02:02:26] [SPEAKER_06]: interesting.

[02:02:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[02:02:27] [SPEAKER_06]: First meeting,

[02:02:28] [SPEAKER_06]: stuck together when a blizzard strands,

[02:02:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Nelson and Regina's home on Christmas Eve in 2015.

[02:02:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Jessie,

[02:02:35] [SPEAKER_06]: played by Gonzalo,

[02:02:36] [SPEAKER_06]: faces a big challenge while planning her,

[02:02:39] [SPEAKER_06]: uh,

[02:02:40] [SPEAKER_06]: sister's last minute Christmas Eve wedding.

[02:02:42] [SPEAKER_06]: The officiant is Tim,

[02:02:44] [SPEAKER_06]: played by Rotman,

[02:02:45] [SPEAKER_06]: her high school sweetheart,

[02:02:46] [SPEAKER_06]: whom she hasn't seen in 20 years.

[02:02:50] [SPEAKER_03]: This cast is bonkers.

[02:02:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Cast is bonkers.

[02:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I am so psyched for this movie.

[02:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh,

[02:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: really?

[02:02:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[02:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Julie Gonzalo,

[02:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: are you kidding me right now?

[02:03:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh,

[02:03:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Ben Ayers,

[02:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: like,

[02:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: one of my faves,

[02:03:03] [SPEAKER_03]: become one of my absolute favorites.

[02:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh,

[02:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: this is five and a stream cream.

[02:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[02:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: No doubt.

[02:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: No doubt.

[02:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[02:03:12] [SPEAKER_03]: You heard it here first.

[02:03:13] [SPEAKER_03]: There you go.

[02:03:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[02:03:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh,

[02:03:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean,

[02:03:17] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah,

[02:03:17] [SPEAKER_04]: it's,

[02:03:17] [SPEAKER_04]: it's an amazing cast.

[02:03:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that,

[02:03:20] [SPEAKER_04]: uh,

[02:03:20] [SPEAKER_04]: a couple of the plot lines sound cool.

[02:03:21] [SPEAKER_04]: A couple of them sound pretty boring,

[02:03:23] [SPEAKER_04]: but what I will say that excites me genuinely about this film,

[02:03:26] [SPEAKER_04]: if you look at the press photos,

[02:03:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Ben Ayers looks like he's like undercover for like an insurance commercial.

[02:03:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's like really exciting.

[02:03:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And so give me a two.

[02:03:37] [SPEAKER_06]: A quick followup on that.

[02:03:38] [SPEAKER_06]: You said,

[02:03:38] [SPEAKER_06]: uh,

[02:03:39] [SPEAKER_06]: a couple of them sound pretty good.

[02:03:41] [SPEAKER_06]: A couple of them sound boring.

[02:03:42] [SPEAKER_06]: There's three storylines.

[02:03:44] [SPEAKER_06]: So give us the breakdown on what you're thinking as far as,

[02:03:48] [SPEAKER_06]: uh,

[02:03:48] [SPEAKER_04]: if you look at it,

[02:03:49] [SPEAKER_04]: three and a half is right down the middle.

[02:03:51] [SPEAKER_04]: And then you factor out those two on each side.

[02:03:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And then,

[02:03:54] [SPEAKER_04]: you know,

[02:03:54] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah,

[02:03:55] [SPEAKER_04]: three and a half.

[02:03:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Say no more.

[02:03:56] [SPEAKER_06]: It makes perfect sense.

[02:03:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[02:03:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[02:03:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[02:03:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go back to the photo here.

[02:04:02] [SPEAKER_00]: So,

[02:04:02] [SPEAKER_00]: you know,

[02:04:03] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah,

[02:04:03] [SPEAKER_00]: we do have that guy from the fifties with his outfit.

[02:04:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think these costumes are up to snuff.

[02:04:10] [SPEAKER_00]: The wardrobe department,

[02:04:11] [SPEAKER_00]: you know,

[02:04:11] [SPEAKER_00]: they really,

[02:04:12] [SPEAKER_00]: they really phoned it in here.

[02:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Julie Gonzo's hair here.

[02:04:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Julie Gonzo.

[02:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I love that.

[02:04:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It is looking wild.

[02:04:20] [SPEAKER_00]: She has a braid wrapped around her head and a bun.

[02:04:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh,

[02:04:23] [SPEAKER_00]: the,

[02:04:24] [SPEAKER_00]: the styling and the wardrobe.

[02:04:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Give me pause.

[02:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to go zero,

[02:04:29] [SPEAKER_06]: man.

[02:04:29] [SPEAKER_06]: The lifetime premier shows can't come soon.

[02:04:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Julie Gonzo.

[02:04:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Um,

[02:04:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[02:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: How many?

[02:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Here we go.

[02:04:42] [SPEAKER_03]: You got it.

[02:04:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Hello,

[02:04:44] [SPEAKER_08]: thank you.

[02:04:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so I have to say...

[02:04:49] [SPEAKER_08]: But also two for Cherry Lane.

[02:04:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Aye, aye, aye.

[02:04:59] [SPEAKER_05]: My least favorite storyline from the OG Cherry Lane

[02:05:03] [SPEAKER_05]: was the Good Witch and the Death of the Housewife guy.

[02:05:07] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm least interested in seeing them back,

[02:05:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and none of these new ones sound particularly interesting,

[02:05:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and Ryan Rotman's stubble is concerning.

[02:05:16] [SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, I'm a half on this one.

[02:05:18] [SPEAKER_05]: That's it.

[02:05:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, I said what I said.

[02:05:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going zero.

[02:05:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I will say the one intriguing thing about this

[02:05:25] [SPEAKER_06]: is the fact that they're different years than the other one,

[02:05:28] [SPEAKER_06]: and we're only going to 2015.

[02:05:30] [SPEAKER_06]: So that's interesting.

[02:05:31] [SPEAKER_06]: It's an interesting development at the very least,

[02:05:34] [SPEAKER_06]: but I'm going to stick to my guns here.

[02:05:35] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to go zero.

[02:05:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[02:05:36] [SPEAKER_05]: And we already know that time capsule is going to pay off

[02:05:38] [SPEAKER_05]: in the most obvious way.

[02:05:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, 100%, of course.

[02:05:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I hate a time capsule movie.

[02:05:42] [SPEAKER_07]: I also didn't like the James Ditton,

[02:05:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Catherine Bell storyline from the first Cherry Lane.

[02:05:48] [SPEAKER_07]: It was the worst storyline.

[02:05:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, this is not near.

[02:05:52] [SPEAKER_07]: I've got my stream cream left.

[02:05:55] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not going to use it here, obviously.

[02:05:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't even know.

[02:05:59] [SPEAKER_07]: The cast alone, give me one peppermint mocha here.

[02:06:02] [SPEAKER_07]: That's it.

[02:06:02] [SPEAKER_07]: That's all I got.

[02:06:04] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:06:04] [SPEAKER_06]: A few more.

[02:06:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[02:06:05] [SPEAKER_06]: All I need for Christmas.

[02:06:07] [SPEAKER_06]: This is December 12th.

[02:06:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Hallmark Mysteries is starring Mallory Jansen and Dan Janot.

[02:06:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Maggie has been trying for years to break in as a singer-songwriter,

[02:06:18] [SPEAKER_06]: now forced, now faced, even, with challenges of new apps and social media.

[02:06:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[02:06:25] [SPEAKER_06]: This is fun.

[02:06:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Maggie fears she's outdated and unable to compete in a tech-savvy world.

[02:06:33] [SPEAKER_06]: While helping her parents on the farm at Christmastime,

[02:06:37] [SPEAKER_06]: she meets Archer.

[02:06:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Archer?

[02:06:40] [SPEAKER_06]: An entrepreneur who has come back to town to spend holidays alone.

[02:06:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Archer is developing large-scale apps and is a tech enthusiast.

[02:06:51] [SPEAKER_06]: They're large-scale apps.

[02:06:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, they're not the small-scale kind.

[02:06:54] [SPEAKER_06]: At first, Maggie blames him for all her songwriting woes.

[02:06:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy cow.

[02:07:00] [SPEAKER_06]: To her surprise, he encourages her to get back in touch with music

[02:07:04] [SPEAKER_06]: that really matters and right from the heart.

[02:07:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Tech can be used in a supportive role to help her achieve her dreams

[02:07:13] [SPEAKER_06]: without replacing the art of songwriting.

[02:07:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Sounds like homework.

[02:07:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Archer is dealing with loss of family,

[02:07:21] [SPEAKER_06]: and through her tight family bonds,

[02:07:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Maggie helps Archer find ways of moving beyond years of family feuding.

[02:07:30] [SPEAKER_06]: In the holiday romance, Maggie and Archer both discover there's merit

[02:07:35] [SPEAKER_06]: in preserving the tried and true,

[02:07:38] [SPEAKER_06]: while making room for ideas and methods

[02:07:41] [SPEAKER_06]: to bring people together and help make dreams.

[02:07:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Brian?

[02:07:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Quick catnap over here.

[02:07:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Brian, go.

[02:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how they're going to stretch this into a full movie.

[02:07:52] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a quick, like, oh, you're the big tech guy.

[02:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm the singer-songwriter.

[02:07:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that's kind of it.

[02:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: What's that scene in that thing you do?

[02:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: There he goes off to his room to write.

[02:08:02] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right next.

[02:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope we get one of those scenes in this movie,

[02:08:07] [SPEAKER_03]: something where they kind of button heads

[02:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and she goes to write a real heartfelt song in jest.

[02:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[02:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The music's tough.

[02:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm afraid we're not going to get really good music,

[02:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and I wish we would.

[02:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just going to, you know, tone it down a little bit

[02:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and go two and a half Pep Mokes down.

[02:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Very good.

[02:08:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Very good.

[02:08:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan?

[02:08:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Was Dan Janot the one they gave that really bad fake beard to

[02:08:28] [SPEAKER_04]: on the Dan Bay?

[02:08:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, in the second Dan Bay.

[02:08:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Man, that Dan Bay movie was right.

[02:08:33] [SPEAKER_07]: But great accent.

[02:08:34] [SPEAKER_07]: He had a great accent.

[02:08:35] [SPEAKER_04]: His accent crushed it.

[02:08:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Crushed the accent.

[02:08:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And then this one, I'll be honest,

[02:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: it lost me halfway through.

[02:08:43] [SPEAKER_04]: It was like War and Peace.

[02:08:44] [SPEAKER_04]: But if they bring the beard back, that would be great.

[02:08:47] [SPEAKER_04]: So two.

[02:08:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick?

[02:08:48] [SPEAKER_05]: It has its own trailer.

[02:08:49] [SPEAKER_00]: We love when TV movies try to talk about tech things,

[02:08:53] [SPEAKER_00]: so that's hilarious.

[02:08:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think they're going to get into, like, AI conversation,

[02:08:58] [SPEAKER_00]: like AI songwriting?

[02:09:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, there's a chance this synopsis was written by AI,

[02:09:02] [SPEAKER_06]: so we'll find out.

[02:09:04] [SPEAKER_05]: She's trying to figure out who her top eight are going to be.

[02:09:07] [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

[02:09:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[02:09:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:09:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I just wonder, like, is Hallmark still worried about the cloud,

[02:09:12] [SPEAKER_00]: or are we moving on to our technology, like, talking points?

[02:09:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm a little excited for this one to see what the tech guys

[02:09:19] [SPEAKER_00]: can talk about.

[02:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And, yeah, I'm going to go three and a half.

[02:09:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Three and a half mugs.

[02:09:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Patrick thinks it's a TED Talk.

[02:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[02:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Jax?

[02:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[02:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: We might have to get her back.

[02:09:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Alonzo?

[02:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Two for her.

[02:09:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's safe to say.

[02:09:34] [SPEAKER_06]: You're fine.

[02:09:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Go ahead, Alonzo.

[02:09:36] [SPEAKER_06]: We've got to fix it.

[02:09:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, sure, sure, sure.

[02:09:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Jax.

[02:09:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Shall I?

[02:09:43] [SPEAKER_05]: You shall.

[02:09:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Go ahead, go ahead.

[02:09:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, okay.

[02:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[02:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I saw the two actors in this.

[02:09:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, oh, awesome.

[02:09:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I think they're both great.

[02:09:49] [SPEAKER_05]: And then I read the synopsis.

[02:09:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no.

[02:09:53] [SPEAKER_05]: A thousand times no.

[02:09:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the music's not going to be good.

[02:09:56] [SPEAKER_05]: The tech talk is going to be embarrassing.

[02:09:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I do hope you have Trace on this episode to Talk Tech because I think it's got her written

[02:10:02] [SPEAKER_05]: all over it.

[02:10:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, oh, wow.

[02:10:05] [SPEAKER_05]: And DeCanter.

[02:10:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Hello, who are you?

[02:10:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, it is DeCanter.

[02:10:09] [SPEAKER_07]: And who is this?

[02:10:10] [SPEAKER_07]: This is Trace.

[02:10:10] [SPEAKER_07]: I knew it.

[02:10:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I knew it was Trace.

[02:10:12] [SPEAKER_07]: What can I help you with?

[02:10:13] [SPEAKER_07]: I ask just because I love hearing your lovely voice.

[02:10:16] [SPEAKER_07]: It is exquisite.

[02:10:17] [SPEAKER_07]: God bless.

[02:10:18] [SPEAKER_07]: What can I do for you, sir?

[02:10:19] [SPEAKER_07]: I have so many tech questions.

[02:10:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Do you think we have time at this late hour?

[02:10:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me one.

[02:10:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me one?

[02:10:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay.

[02:10:24] [SPEAKER_07]: I have a candle and I need to light it.

[02:10:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Is that technology?

[02:10:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Close enough.

[02:10:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I have an aim flame.

[02:10:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Are you familiar?

[02:10:31] [SPEAKER_07]: No.

[02:10:32] [SPEAKER_07]: You don't know what an aim flame is?

[02:10:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Carry on.

[02:10:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Go quick.

[02:10:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Where do I stick it in?

[02:10:37] [SPEAKER_07]: All right.

[02:10:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Jax.

[02:10:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Did he give his rating?

[02:10:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, is Jax gone again?

[02:10:43] [SPEAKER_05]: One mocha for the two actors.

[02:10:45] [SPEAKER_05]: That's it.

[02:10:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[02:10:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Shout out to Trace Talks Tech, though.

[02:10:47] [SPEAKER_08]: She's taking your bit very seriously and she keeps leaving.

[02:10:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[02:10:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, poor Jax.

[02:10:51] [SPEAKER_08]: So I just texted her to come back.

[02:10:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I have on a reliable source that Jax is going to give it two peppermint mochas.

[02:10:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[02:10:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Fair.

[02:10:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Fair enough.

[02:10:59] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll go to brand for now.

[02:11:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going three and a half.

[02:11:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[02:11:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going three and a half.

[02:11:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Whoa.

[02:11:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it could be something.

[02:11:05] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it could be bad.

[02:11:06] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll go right down the middle with three and a half.

[02:11:08] [SPEAKER_06]: He's on board.

[02:11:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[02:11:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Amen, man.

[02:11:12] [SPEAKER_07]: I love the two leads here.

[02:11:14] [SPEAKER_07]: I love Mallory Jansen.

[02:11:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Dan Janot's been on the program.

[02:11:17] [SPEAKER_07]: A wonderful human being.

[02:11:18] [SPEAKER_07]: A great actor.

[02:11:19] [SPEAKER_07]: This movie sounds real tough.

[02:11:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me one peppermint mocha.

[02:11:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Hanukkah on the rock.

[02:11:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, Jax is back.

[02:11:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax is back.

[02:11:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[02:11:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Leah's perfect gift.

[02:11:31] [SPEAKER_06]: We can just reach back.

[02:11:33] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:11:35] [SPEAKER_06]: All I need for Christmas.

[02:11:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax, go.

[02:11:38] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[02:11:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I love it.

[02:11:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Hanukkah on the rocks starring Stacey.

[02:11:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Guys, Aaron said.

[02:11:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Go ahead whenever you're ready, Jax.

[02:11:54] [SPEAKER_06]: She's going to texting.

[02:11:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Hanukkah on the rocks.

[02:11:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Stacey Farber.

[02:11:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Darren Kegasoff.

[02:12:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, we got a bunch of stuff in the truck here for this party.

[02:12:11] [SPEAKER_07]: We got a few streamers, some bottles of wine.

[02:12:13] [SPEAKER_07]: You help me get this Kegasoff here.

[02:12:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Mark Summers.

[02:12:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Shout out.

[02:12:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Shout outs.

[02:12:20] [SPEAKER_06]: One week before Hanukkah, corporate lawyer Tori finds herself unexpectedly unemployed and questioning the career she's dedicated years to.

[02:12:31] [SPEAKER_06]: As she helps her Bubby prepare for the holiday, she embarks on a quest across Chicago to find the last box of coveted Hanukkah candies.

[02:12:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Her research.

[02:12:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Candles.

[02:12:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Candles.

[02:12:45] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure there are great Hanukkah candies.

[02:12:47] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure there are.

[02:12:49] [SPEAKER_07]: We are not here to talk poorly about Hanukkah candies, but these are candles as in menorah.

[02:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I'd love to talk about candies.

[02:12:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Her search leads her to Rocky's, an old town bar.

[02:13:00] [SPEAKER_06]: That's Ricky's, actually.

[02:13:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Daniel, I want to go full.

[02:13:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Where she encounters Jay, a charming doctor from Florida, his grandfather Sam, played by Summers, shout out, and a cast of quirky regulars who make her rethink everything.

[02:13:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Torn between keeping her job loss a secret and embarking on a newfound sense of belonging,

[02:13:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Tori ends up bartending at Rocky's, transforming Rocky's into the vibrant Hanukkah on the Rock celebration.

[02:13:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Through festive food, drinks, and games, she revitalizes the bar, bonds with Jay, and finds the courage to pursue her truth.

[02:13:41] [SPEAKER_06]: True calling.

[02:13:43] [SPEAKER_06]: But her truth as well.

[02:13:44] [SPEAKER_06]: As Tori navigates the holiday, she learns that something, a detour can lead you exactly where you're meant to be,

[02:13:51] [SPEAKER_06]: lighting the way to a future filled with joy, romance, and self-discovery.

[02:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[02:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I really like Stacey Farber in Season for Family.

[02:14:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Mark Summers, obviously, at Curveball.

[02:14:02] [SPEAKER_03]: We are so excited about some found family stuff going on here.

[02:14:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going for Anna Cream.

[02:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that it?

[02:14:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that it for you?

[02:14:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that it?

[02:14:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I have one cream left after that one.

[02:14:13] [SPEAKER_03]: One left.

[02:14:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So I have four cream on that.

[02:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I have one cream left.

[02:14:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Ryan, are you keeping track of your creams yourself?

[02:14:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Of course I am.

[02:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I've got two over here.

[02:14:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to keep track as well.

[02:14:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Ryan.

[02:14:21] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[02:14:22] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm pretty sure you have one left.

[02:14:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh-oh.

[02:14:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan.

[02:14:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I have one cream left.

[02:14:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan has one cream left.

[02:14:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I have a cream left.

[02:14:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, the only...

[02:14:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Actually, per my rules, Brian is out.

[02:14:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Ryan has two.

[02:14:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah, that's right.

[02:14:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I actually ascended on the cream front earlier on.

[02:14:39] [SPEAKER_04]: But, you know, the only real negative here to speak of is that, you know, we got Mama Kelsey pulling double duty this holiday season.

[02:14:46] [SPEAKER_04]: They couldn't have Mark Summers go to the next lot to be a 90s Christmas, but I digress.

[02:14:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe you do.

[02:14:53] [SPEAKER_04]: This is five and a cream.

[02:14:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't wait for the Legends of the Hidden Temple guy to get a gig next year.

[02:14:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It's going to be sick.

[02:15:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick.

[02:15:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I love Hanukkah candy, so four and a half.

[02:15:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Four and a half?

[02:15:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

[02:15:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Four and a half for the candies.

[02:15:09] [SPEAKER_06]: D, the candy.

[02:15:10] [SPEAKER_06]: D, the candy.

[02:15:11] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax.

[02:15:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm back, right?

[02:15:13] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you're perfect.

[02:15:14] [SPEAKER_09]: You're back, baby.

[02:15:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mochas.

[02:15:18] [SPEAKER_09]: So, actually, so last year, my favorite Hallmark holiday movie was Round and Round, was the Hanukkah movie this year.

[02:15:26] [SPEAKER_09]: I love Stacey Farber, like everyone's saying.

[02:15:29] [SPEAKER_09]: For me, this is going to be a four.

[02:15:31] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm super excited about it.

[02:15:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo?

[02:15:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, pretty much the same deal for me.

[02:15:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, the Hanukkah movies have proven themselves to be really great in the last couple years.

[02:15:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I like Hanukkah on Rye.

[02:15:42] [SPEAKER_05]: The year before was terrific.

[02:15:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Big fan of Stacey Farber, all the way back to, of course, Degrassi.

[02:15:47] [SPEAKER_05]: So, yeah, I'm four.

[02:15:49] [SPEAKER_06]: This movie sounds great.

[02:15:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Great casts.

[02:15:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Mark Summers, obviously.

[02:15:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Candy.

[02:15:56] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm interested.

[02:15:59] [SPEAKER_06]: It seems like this movie could take place largely inside of Rockies, an old town bar.

[02:16:06] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that that could be really fun.

[02:16:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Is it a bottle movie?

[02:16:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Like, what goes on here?

[02:16:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Once they get there, do they leave?

[02:16:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.

[02:16:14] [SPEAKER_06]: But if we've got a good vibe, a good bar, a fun cast of characters, this movie could be something special.

[02:16:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going five.

[02:16:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[02:16:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I thought I had two creams left.

[02:16:26] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I only have one.

[02:16:27] [SPEAKER_07]: And that means I'm not going to cream this movie.

[02:16:29] [SPEAKER_07]: But if you think I'm not excited about Mark Summers being a grandfather and giving sage advice in one of these movies, you're wrong.

[02:16:39] [SPEAKER_07]: It is it stunt casting?

[02:16:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[02:16:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Does it work?

[02:16:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Absolutely.

[02:16:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Four peppermint mochas.

[02:16:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And Julie Sherman Wolf, she's very excited about this movie.

[02:16:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Hanukkah on Rye was a delight.

[02:16:49] [SPEAKER_07]: So, absolutely.

[02:16:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Sign me up.

[02:16:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Four peppermint mochas.

[02:16:52] [SPEAKER_06]: The Santa Class is up next.

[02:16:55] [SPEAKER_06]: It's December 14th.

[02:16:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Hallmark Channel.

[02:16:57] [SPEAKER_06]: It's starring Kimberly Sustat and Benjamin Ayers.

[02:17:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Kate North finds herself reluctantly taking over her father's once acclaimed and now struggling Santa school.

[02:17:07] [SPEAKER_06]: In the weeks leading up to Christmas and the school's next session, Kate and her new co-worker, Dan, discovers who they believe to be the real Santa Claus.

[02:17:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Lost and without his memories.

[02:17:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[02:17:24] [SPEAKER_06]: After his sled steered off course and crashes near school.

[02:17:28] [SPEAKER_06]: What do I do if I fall off the roof?

[02:17:30] [SPEAKER_06]: They decide to help him remember who he is by inviting him to participate in an intense Santa training program.

[02:17:37] [SPEAKER_06]: You could call it a boot camp.

[02:17:38] [SPEAKER_06]: You could.

[02:17:39] [SPEAKER_06]: There's a lot at stake this year.

[02:17:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Kate's school needs the best.

[02:17:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Needs to best.

[02:17:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Needs to best.

[02:17:46] [SPEAKER_06]: The rival St. Nicholas School or be forced to close their doors.

[02:17:50] [SPEAKER_06]: And Nick, played by Santa Claus, they say that there.

[02:17:55] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what to tell you.

[02:17:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Nick is Santa Claus.

[02:17:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Needs to remember who he is or the fate of Christmas might be at stake.

[02:18:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my gosh.

[02:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Pawpaw's usual.

[02:18:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Brian.

[02:18:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Kimberly Sustat, Benjamin Ayers.

[02:18:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Had to reset Brian there.

[02:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry about it.

[02:18:14] [SPEAKER_03]: We can cut that.

[02:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I got to perfect.

[02:18:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Pull the plug out.

[02:18:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Kimberly Sustet, Benjamin Ayers, both can be hilarious.

[02:18:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Stop me if you heard this before.

[02:18:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I believe this was written by Russell Hainline.

[02:18:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So another going to be banger.

[02:18:28] [SPEAKER_03]: This is five and a cream for me.

[02:18:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[02:18:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I like that it's December 14th

[02:18:35] [SPEAKER_04]: and we're bringing out some heavy hitters.

[02:18:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that there should be more of this, quite frankly.

[02:18:39] [SPEAKER_04]: I think we should condition the audience to think that

[02:18:41] [SPEAKER_04]: good films could happen throughout the entire...

[02:18:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Round and Round was the last movie, right?

[02:18:45] [SPEAKER_07]: It was the best one.

[02:18:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think that we're developing...

[02:18:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's been too long where we just gave up on December 10th.

[02:18:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so I think this is really exciting.

[02:18:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be really, really good.

[02:18:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Give me four peppermint mochas

[02:18:57] [SPEAKER_04]: and I would have creamed if I could.

[02:18:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Just pass that along when you chat with me.

[02:19:00] [SPEAKER_07]: I've heard that several times from you now.

[02:19:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Patrick?

[02:19:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll talk, no cream.

[02:19:04] [SPEAKER_07]: That's right.

[02:19:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Amnesia is a tried and true TV movie trope.

[02:19:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So why not have Santa Claus have amnesia?

[02:19:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It is a little scary though.

[02:19:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That seems a little scary to me.

[02:19:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So if I was watching this and Santa Claus had amnesia

[02:19:21] [SPEAKER_00]: and didn't remember anything about word of or anything,

[02:19:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I would be worried.

[02:19:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So this sounds a little bit stressful.

[02:19:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go three.

[02:19:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Three.

[02:19:29] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax?

[02:19:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Ever since Kimberly Sustad was in Nine Lives of Christmas

[02:19:34] [SPEAKER_09]: and was able to wear the big puffer coat

[02:19:37] [SPEAKER_09]: and not have to look like super glamorous and put together

[02:19:41] [SPEAKER_09]: like we were seeing from all the Hallmark cleaning ladies at the time,

[02:19:44] [SPEAKER_09]: I knew she was a true blue one.

[02:19:46] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to go ahead and give this four and a half peppermint mochas

[02:19:50] [SPEAKER_09]: and I'm going to cream it.

[02:19:52] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[02:19:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Well done.

[02:19:55] [SPEAKER_06]: That's good cream.

[02:19:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo.

[02:19:57] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:19:57] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:19:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[02:20:00] [SPEAKER_05]: This is the kind of big swing high concept

[02:20:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that we always want Hallmark to try more often

[02:20:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and every so often really works out for them.

[02:20:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a Santa movie.

[02:20:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Never bet against Sustad.

[02:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[02:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: This is my last cream with five peppermint mochas.

[02:20:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Well utilized.

[02:20:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Everybody still had a cream and used it on this one.

[02:20:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[02:20:22] [SPEAKER_06]: How do you feel, Brian?

[02:20:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going five.

[02:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: This movie sounds awesome

[02:20:25] [SPEAKER_06]: and I'm trying to like think back over the many, many Hallmark movies

[02:20:30] [SPEAKER_06]: that we've watched that Santa's been a part of it

[02:20:32] [SPEAKER_06]: and I don't remember a movie where potentially Santa has as big of a role

[02:20:38] [SPEAKER_06]: in a movie as this one

[02:20:40] [SPEAKER_06]: where it seems like this is the real deal.

[02:20:42] [SPEAKER_06]: This is Christmas magic.

[02:20:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Very excited about it.

[02:20:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I can't wait.

[02:20:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going five.

[02:20:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[02:20:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[02:20:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Saved a cream for just this occasion.

[02:20:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Are you kidding me right now?

[02:20:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Kimberly Sustad.

[02:20:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Benjamin Ayers.

[02:20:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Real Santa Claus.

[02:20:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Get out of here.

[02:20:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Five and a cream.

[02:21:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Pop it up.

[02:21:01] [SPEAKER_06]: For what it's worth, the Dayspring one's up next.

[02:21:04] [SPEAKER_06]: If you want to, you can pull it back.

[02:21:05] [SPEAKER_06]: The Dayspring's up next?

[02:21:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my goodness.

[02:21:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Can I give it two Satans and one Antichrist?

[02:21:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll allow it.

[02:21:12] [SPEAKER_05]: You may die.

[02:21:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Can you give it a dressing bracelet?

[02:21:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Following Yonder Star, starring Brooke Dorsey and John Brotherton.

[02:21:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy cow, what a cast.

[02:21:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Abby Marshall once celebrated.

[02:21:29] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a great cast, a great duo.

[02:21:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Once celebrated for her role as an inspirational mother on TV,

[02:21:36] [SPEAKER_06]: is finding her real life in shambles after dealing with a scandal.

[02:21:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God.

[02:21:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, scandal.

[02:21:43] [SPEAKER_06]: We don't want any scandal.

[02:21:44] [SPEAKER_06]: We don't want any scandal.

[02:21:45] [SPEAKER_06]: She retreats to a luxury Vermont resort for Christmas,

[02:21:50] [SPEAKER_06]: only to find herself without a room due to a booking mishap.

[02:21:56] [SPEAKER_06]: All the local hotels are booked up due to a rare astronomical event.

[02:22:02] [SPEAKER_07]: It happens to the best of us, man.

[02:22:04] [SPEAKER_07]: When those rare astronomical events happen, hotels jammed.

[02:22:07] [SPEAKER_06]: A beautiful star said to mirror the star of Bethlehem will appear on Christmas Eve.

[02:22:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Thankfully, Abby finds a room at a quaint B&B owned by Tom McGuire.

[02:22:19] [SPEAKER_06]: That's what I thought.

[02:22:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Spider-Man?

[02:22:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Dude, can you imagine?

[02:22:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Can you imagine?

[02:22:24] [SPEAKER_06]: He's just trying to leave that life behind him.

[02:22:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Who is also a high school astronomy teacher.

[02:22:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Since his wife's passing, Tom has taken on a lot of extra responsibilities,

[02:22:38] [SPEAKER_06]: including running the inn and directing the local church's Christmas pageant.

[02:22:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Empathizing with Tom, Abby offers to help with the pageant

[02:22:47] [SPEAKER_06]: and various activities around the inn

[02:22:49] [SPEAKER_06]: and finds herself enjoying both the project and Tom's company.

[02:22:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Through newfound community, family, and love,

[02:22:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Abby discovers that hope sometimes comes in the most unexpected ways

[02:22:59] [SPEAKER_06]: a Dayspring movie.

[02:23:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[02:23:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, peppermint mocha for Brooke,

[02:23:05] [SPEAKER_03]: peppermint mocha for John Brotherton,

[02:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: who has a great handshake,

[02:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'll give it two.

[02:23:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Two peppermint mochas.

[02:23:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Weird!

[02:23:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan!

[02:23:13] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I got a soft...

[02:23:14] [SPEAKER_07]: It's dirtier than any cream joke we've told all night,

[02:23:16] [SPEAKER_07]: what you just said.

[02:23:16] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know how, but it is.

[02:23:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Great handshake.

[02:23:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I got a soft spot for Brotherton.

[02:23:20] [SPEAKER_04]: He was in the first ever flick I reviewed here on this network,

[02:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: and for that, I give it one peppermint mocha.

[02:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It's probably not as soft as that.

[02:23:28] [SPEAKER_07]: And that's at Brands Coffee Shop.

[02:23:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[02:23:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Patrick?

[02:23:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I have a question.

[02:23:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Is the star of Bethlehem the North Star?

[02:23:36] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[02:23:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that the same thing?

[02:23:38] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[02:23:38] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[02:23:39] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[02:23:39] [SPEAKER_00]: What?

[02:23:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Dan doesn't know none of us know.

[02:23:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.

[02:23:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I always thought they followed the North Star.

[02:23:46] [SPEAKER_00]: No, the North Star is visible all the time.

[02:23:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, the North...

[02:23:49] [SPEAKER_07]: This is a star that became...

[02:23:50] [SPEAKER_08]: The star of Bethlehem is only visible with Jesus.

[02:23:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[02:23:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Read the Bible.

[02:23:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Am I...

[02:23:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I gotta be honest, Patrick.

[02:23:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Have I got a book for you?

[02:23:56] [SPEAKER_07]: I've literally never thought that it was the North Star,

[02:23:59] [SPEAKER_07]: and then you said it with such confidence that I was like,

[02:24:02] [SPEAKER_07]: what is he talking about?

[02:24:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you get lost, you follow the North Star.

[02:24:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:24:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that's what Jesus would do.

[02:24:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It would make a lot of sense.

[02:24:09] [SPEAKER_00]: You know.

[02:24:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Unfortunately, the Bible...

[02:24:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Jesus is my North Star.

[02:24:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll say that much.

[02:24:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So I am confused about the stars.

[02:24:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I might need this movie to explain some Jesus stuff to me,

[02:24:19] [SPEAKER_00]: so I'm gonna give it three bucks.

[02:24:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, no.

[02:24:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Jax?

[02:24:25] [SPEAKER_09]: You know, I'm gonna take a page out of Brian's book.

[02:24:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna give one to Brooke.

[02:24:28] [SPEAKER_09]: She's so sweet.

[02:24:29] [SPEAKER_09]: I think John Brotherton is wonderful as well.

[02:24:33] [SPEAKER_09]: That makes two.

[02:24:35] [SPEAKER_09]: But you know what?

[02:24:35] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna go ahead and add one more,

[02:24:38] [SPEAKER_09]: because Candace Cameron Bure has nothing to do with Dayspring anymore,

[02:24:42] [SPEAKER_09]: and that gives me so much joy.

[02:24:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Wow.

[02:24:47] [SPEAKER_03]: A spike moak there, I believe.

[02:24:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a spike in the moak in there.

[02:24:50] [SPEAKER_09]: You better believe it, baby.

[02:24:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Jesus, Florida.

[02:24:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Alonzo?

[02:24:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, man.

[02:24:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I do like Brooke Dorsey.

[02:24:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I do like John Brotherton.

[02:25:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Do I want to see anyone in a Dayspring movie?

[02:25:02] [SPEAKER_05]: No.

[02:25:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I like Gift of Peace Notwithstanding.

[02:25:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[02:25:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Which somehow was a good one.

[02:25:07] [SPEAKER_05]: But this is giving me Miracle in Bethlehem PA vibe.

[02:25:12] [SPEAKER_05]: So that means I gotta go zero.

[02:25:15] [SPEAKER_06]: So this is giving me Miracle in Bethlehem PA vibes.

[02:25:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four.

[02:25:19] [SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[02:25:20] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[02:25:22] [SPEAKER_06]: And I honestly, I think that this sounds like it could be a good time.

[02:25:26] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm very intrigued.

[02:25:28] [SPEAKER_06]: The fact that Brooke Dorsey was once celebrated for her role as an inspirational mother on TV,

[02:25:35] [SPEAKER_06]: which means like she'd been doing it for a little while.

[02:25:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Brooke Dorsey playing a mother?

[02:25:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Are we at that point in life now?

[02:25:44] [SPEAKER_06]: It's crazy.

[02:25:46] [SPEAKER_06]: But also the scandal of it all?

[02:25:48] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it could be good.

[02:25:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going four.

[02:25:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[02:25:51] [SPEAKER_07]: I, Gift of Peace is the exception to the rule.

[02:25:54] [SPEAKER_07]: But I also have a terrible Amy Teagarden Easter movie.

[02:25:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I've got a Bressing bracelet.

[02:25:58] [SPEAKER_07]: And I've also got Journey in Bethlehem PA that all I wish I'd never seen.

[02:26:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Thanks.

[02:26:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I hate it.

[02:26:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Zero.

[02:26:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, in the spirit of the resurrection.

[02:26:07] [SPEAKER_07]: In the spirit of the resurrection.

[02:26:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane once again.

[02:26:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[02:26:12] [SPEAKER_06]: No affiliation.

[02:26:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Not associated with our show.

[02:26:15] [SPEAKER_06]: And I do want that on the record.

[02:26:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Deck the Halls.

[02:26:17] [SPEAKER_06]: We would never.

[02:26:18] [SPEAKER_06]: On Cherry Lane.

[02:26:20] [SPEAKER_06]: December 19th, Hallmark Plus.

[02:26:21] [SPEAKER_06]: John Brotherton.

[02:26:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh-oh.

[02:26:22] [SPEAKER_06]: There he is again.

[02:26:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Aaron Cahill.

[02:26:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Brooke Dorsey.

[02:26:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my gosh.

[02:26:25] [SPEAKER_06]: There she is again.

[02:26:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Matt Dusk.

[02:26:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Chelsea Hobbs.

[02:26:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Benjamin Hongsworth.

[02:26:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Sam Page.

[02:26:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy cow.

[02:26:31] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:26:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm having a.

[02:26:33] [SPEAKER_06]: This is tough.

[02:26:34] [SPEAKER_06]: In 1966, single guy David's plans for a simple Christmas was dashed when his neighbor Stephanie

[02:26:44] [SPEAKER_06]: arrives with news that she won a contest to have Tommy Saunders Christmas Eve TV special broadcast

[02:26:54] [SPEAKER_06]: live from her house, but used his address.

[02:26:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[02:27:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[02:27:00] [SPEAKER_06]: In 1981, John and Lizzie learn that this will be their last Christmas on Cherry Lane after

[02:27:07] [SPEAKER_06]: John receives a job offer in Michigan and Lizzie finds out that she's pregnant.

[02:27:11] [SPEAKER_06]: And 2000, best friends Matt and Rebecca find unexpected feelings developing as they try to find out who is behind the series of Christmas-themed random acts of kindness.

[02:27:27] [SPEAKER_07]: John Brotherton and Brooke Dorsey in two movies together on the same weekend.

[02:27:33] [SPEAKER_03]: One's a streamer.

[02:27:35] [SPEAKER_07]: But this one's a streamer.

[02:27:36] [SPEAKER_07]: That's wild.

[02:27:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that is.

[02:27:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[02:27:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[02:27:38] [SPEAKER_03]: What a cast.

[02:27:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I did say I was going to keep going higher and higher on the Cherry Lane movies, but I think I gave five for the last one.

[02:27:46] [SPEAKER_03]: So math's going to get a little wonky here.

[02:27:50] [SPEAKER_03]: English major math.

[02:27:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Right down the middle these days.

[02:27:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go for Peppermint Mochas here.

[02:27:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan?

[02:27:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, I have a soft spot for John Brotherton.

[02:27:59] [SPEAKER_04]: He was in the first ever film I ever reviewed for this month.

[02:28:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, what's up here?

[02:28:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[02:28:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Aaron Cahill, another soft spot, arguably the greatest Pink Ranger of all time.

[02:28:07] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[02:28:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, second best in my opinion, but, you know, that's a good number of times.

[02:28:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[02:28:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Hot take.

[02:28:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You're saying that here.

[02:28:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll let her know.

[02:28:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not here for the Amy Jo Johnson erasure.

[02:28:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no, it's Amy Jo Johnson.

[02:28:17] [SPEAKER_04]: There you go.

[02:28:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Alonzo.

[02:28:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's Amy Jo Johnson.

[02:28:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I know things.

[02:28:21] [SPEAKER_08]: I've never seen Ryan so excited on this podcast.

[02:28:24] [SPEAKER_04]: That was worth all seven hours of this.

[02:28:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That was incredible.

[02:28:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you think everybody's still listening or not?

[02:28:31] [SPEAKER_04]: This, listen, this sounds interesting too.

[02:28:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Patrick?

[02:28:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

[02:28:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that happened so fast it got to me.

[02:28:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Did it?

[02:28:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It did.

[02:28:45] [SPEAKER_07]: It came out of nowhere that it was your turn.

[02:28:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I forgot.

[02:28:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Cherry Lane again, so we're going to go zero on this one.

[02:28:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax?

[02:28:54] [SPEAKER_09]: I think it's the best of the Cherry Lane bunch.

[02:28:56] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to go with three.

[02:28:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Alonzo?

[02:29:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I am intrigued to return to the Brotherton Cahill storyline, and I have to say, this still photo,

[02:29:07] [SPEAKER_05]: where the kitchen is done up in blindingly 70s colors.

[02:29:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm seeing some avocado stove with some Aztec gold cabinets.

[02:29:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm in for that.

[02:29:18] [SPEAKER_05]: So two and a half.

[02:29:20] [SPEAKER_06]: I do think this sounds like the best one.

[02:29:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going zero.

[02:29:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah.

[02:29:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Contractually obligated.

[02:29:25] [SPEAKER_07]: No Christmas spirit over there.

[02:29:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Guys, I had to.

[02:29:27] [SPEAKER_07]: This cast sounds great.

[02:29:29] [SPEAKER_07]: It does.

[02:29:32] [SPEAKER_07]: The Aaron Cahill, John Brotherton storyline in the last film was very successful for me.

[02:29:37] [SPEAKER_07]: I do have a stream cream left.

[02:29:39] [SPEAKER_07]: I believe I'm the only person who's got one of those left.

[02:29:41] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.

[02:29:42] [SPEAKER_07]: So I'm going to go ahead and use that right now.

[02:29:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Give me two and a half pep moats right down the middle and my stream cream.

[02:29:48] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a good utilization.

[02:29:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.

[02:29:50] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a good utilization.

[02:29:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Appreciate that.

[02:29:51] [SPEAKER_06]: We are down to our final two.

[02:29:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Dos Mas.

[02:29:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[02:29:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Our final two movies.

[02:29:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.

[02:29:56] [SPEAKER_08]: And before we go into these final two, Patrick, you still have one cream.

[02:30:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh.

[02:30:01] [SPEAKER_06]: There's a cream on the board, everybody.

[02:30:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Keep that in mind.

[02:30:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[02:30:05] [SPEAKER_04]: That's discipline right there.

[02:30:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Holding back.

[02:30:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Trading up.

[02:30:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And Patrick, you were born in 2000, too.

[02:30:13] [SPEAKER_06]: So that's like you're the youngest of all of us and you have the most discipline.

[02:30:16] [SPEAKER_06]: It's beautiful.

[02:30:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Trading up Christmas.

[02:30:19] [SPEAKER_06]: December 19th, 8 o'clock.

[02:30:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Hallmark Mysteries, Italia Ricci and Michael Xavier.

[02:30:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Michelle is the dreamer of her family, always brimming with imaginative ideas to make the world a better place.

[02:30:32] [SPEAKER_06]: This Christmas, her sister Carrie desperately needs a new home.

[02:30:37] [SPEAKER_06]: And Michelle, I'm sorry, sometimes I don't see things coming.

[02:30:40] [SPEAKER_06]: It takes me by surprise.

[02:30:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes words sneak up on it.

[02:30:43] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not even watching the movie.

[02:30:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I was like, what happened to her sister?

[02:30:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I guess we'll find out.

[02:30:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Michelle hatches a creative plan to help.

[02:30:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Starting with just a Christmas stocking, she sets out to trade her way up to something far greater.

[02:30:59] [SPEAKER_06]: A house for Carrie.

[02:31:01] [SPEAKER_06]: What the?

[02:31:04] [SPEAKER_06]: What are we doing?

[02:31:05] [SPEAKER_06]: While Carrie dismisses it as a far-fetched idea, local reporter Dan is intrigued.

[02:31:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Another Dan for the gang.

[02:31:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Assigned to cover Michelle's story, Dan follows her closely.

[02:31:18] [SPEAKER_06]: As her plan gains attention, he starts to see the world through her hopeful eyes.

[02:31:25] [SPEAKER_06]: That's weird.

[02:31:26] [SPEAKER_06]: As Michelle and Dan grow closer, so do their feelings for each other.

[02:31:31] [SPEAKER_06]: But when it seems her plan has failed and she fears ruined her relationship with Carrie,

[02:31:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Michelle is ready to give up.

[02:31:39] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Dan's love and belief in her that reignites Hulk.

[02:31:43] [SPEAKER_06]: She's still talking?

[02:31:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Just when she needs it the most.

[02:31:48] [SPEAKER_06]: My goodness.

[02:31:49] [SPEAKER_03]: What a sneaky movie.

[02:31:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian?

[02:31:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[02:31:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going four creams.

[02:31:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

[02:31:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I take that back.

[02:31:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Four?

[02:31:56] [SPEAKER_07]: You can't do that, bro.

[02:31:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Brian is so talking.

[02:31:58] [SPEAKER_07]: You wait a second right now.

[02:32:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Did he do that?

[02:32:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Every time he's out on camera, his glasses are off and he's doing this number.

[02:32:06] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like midnight here on the East Coast.

[02:32:08] [SPEAKER_07]: He's giving out four creams.

[02:32:10] [SPEAKER_07]: I wish I could.

[02:32:11] [SPEAKER_03]: We are doing our best, Daniel.

[02:32:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Four peribogas.

[02:32:15] [SPEAKER_03]: One for Tali Ricci.

[02:32:16] [SPEAKER_03]: One for the straddle kiss between her and McFarlane.

[02:32:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

[02:32:19] [SPEAKER_03]: One for the straddle kiss between her and McFarlane.

[02:32:21] [SPEAKER_03]: A fourth for Bran's intrigue and getting lost in this synopsis.

[02:32:24] [SPEAKER_03]: You skipped three altogether.

[02:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Three for Xavier.

[02:32:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, good.

[02:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a late applause.

[02:32:29] [SPEAKER_03]: He's giving four creams, everybody.

[02:32:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Four creams and turn those into purple movies.

[02:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I moved on to Ryan.

[02:32:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan.

[02:32:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.

[02:32:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I was also going to give it four creams, so I don't know what to do now.

[02:32:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[02:32:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Michelle Ricci.

[02:32:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Was she?

[02:32:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Michelle Ricci.

[02:32:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Michelle Ricci.

[02:32:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, Ryan.

[02:32:49] [SPEAKER_07]: What in the holy fire are we doing?

[02:32:50] [SPEAKER_03]: We forgot all about me.

[02:32:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Soft hands on Brotherton.

[02:32:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.

[02:32:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Supple.

[02:32:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Michelle Ricci.

[02:33:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Is that what Alonzo said?

[02:33:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Drippy.

[02:33:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Drippy.

[02:33:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll give it a one.

[02:33:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh.

[02:33:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Hold on.

[02:33:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Go back, Daniel.

[02:33:09] [SPEAKER_04]: What is that?

[02:33:10] [SPEAKER_07]: We don't have time for this.

[02:33:11] [SPEAKER_07]: One, it's a great gift.

[02:33:13] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a great gift.

[02:33:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Perfect.

[02:33:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Is that a gift?

[02:33:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[02:33:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Leah or Leah?

[02:33:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So.

[02:33:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Perfect gift, Jax.

[02:33:25] This.

[02:33:26] [SPEAKER_09]: Two peppermint mocus.

[02:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: This preview of the marathon brought to you.

[02:33:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[02:33:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[02:33:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So, the girl, Carrie, Carrie or Michelle?

[02:33:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

[02:33:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I think her name's Michelle, the main girl.

[02:33:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You got it, dude.

[02:33:41] [SPEAKER_00]: She's, like, doing all this for her sister, but then she, like, loses her Christmas spirit,

[02:33:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and then the man has to get her back to, like, doing the Christmas spirit stuff?

[02:33:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't like this.

[02:33:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Synopsis.

[02:33:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So, I'm going to go two.

[02:33:56] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:33:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax.

[02:33:58] [SPEAKER_09]: Well, talking about 90s nostalgia, I love Casper.

[02:34:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah.

[02:34:06] [SPEAKER_09]: And Itali Ricci.

[02:34:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Nope.

[02:34:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Nope.

[02:34:10] [SPEAKER_09]: That's Christina Ricci.

[02:34:11] [SPEAKER_09]: That's Christina Ricci.

[02:34:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I almost thought my whole life was a lie.

[02:34:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Letterfish.

[02:34:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Four creams, Michelle.

[02:34:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Letterfish.

[02:34:18] [SPEAKER_07]: But Michelle Ricci and Christina Ricci.

[02:34:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Have you guys, are you all right?

[02:34:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Lupture and Adam's Family Values.

[02:34:26] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[02:34:26] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, my gosh.

[02:34:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Easy mistake.

[02:34:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[02:34:29] [SPEAKER_09]: Michael Xavier was in Christmas Gums twice, though, I think.

[02:34:33] [SPEAKER_09]: And Casper.

[02:34:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[02:34:35] [SPEAKER_09]: And Casper.

[02:34:36] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give it three peppermint mochas.

[02:34:40] [SPEAKER_09]: And one Christina Ricci.

[02:34:44] [SPEAKER_05]: One for Italia Ricci, who is the only thing about this that gives me any hope, and I do mean

[02:34:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Italia.

[02:34:52] [SPEAKER_05]: That's it.

[02:34:52] [SPEAKER_05]: One.

[02:34:53] [SPEAKER_06]: I love The Simple Life.

[02:34:55] [SPEAKER_06]: I thought it was a good show.

[02:34:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Aaron.

[02:35:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going five.

[02:35:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I think this movie sounds great.

[02:35:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a really fun idea, and I'm going five.

[02:35:06] [SPEAKER_06]: You have lost your mind.

[02:35:07] [SPEAKER_06]: He has.

[02:35:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Aaron is going to laugh both in a coal richie.

[02:35:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Come on, guys.

[02:35:11] [SPEAKER_08]: We're having fun out here.

[02:35:13] [SPEAKER_08]: It's the coal richie.

[02:35:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Took me a second.

[02:35:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Come on.

[02:35:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I got it.

[02:35:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I got it.

[02:35:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I got it.

[02:35:17] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't hear it, or I would have laughed.

[02:35:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Like Jax, I'm also a fan of the 90s, X-Men, Professor Xavier.

[02:35:27] [SPEAKER_07]: So from that standpoint, one for Italia Ricci.

[02:35:32] [SPEAKER_07]: That's all I got.

[02:35:33] [SPEAKER_04]: But it was Michelle.

[02:35:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I gave it five.

[02:35:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Five.

[02:35:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Five.

[02:35:38] [SPEAKER_06]: One plus one.

[02:35:38] [SPEAKER_06]: One plus one times four.

[02:35:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Five minus midnight.

[02:35:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, got it.

[02:35:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[02:35:43] [SPEAKER_06]: The final one.

[02:35:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Happy holidays.

[02:35:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Already?

[02:35:46] [SPEAKER_06]: We just got here?

[02:35:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Happy holidays.

[02:35:48] [SPEAKER_06]: It is.

[02:35:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I think I'm going to give this one five creams.

[02:35:50] [SPEAKER_06]: December.

[02:35:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Save them.

[02:35:51] [SPEAKER_07]: December 21st.

[02:35:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Can I do that?

[02:35:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that would be awesome if you saved them all for the last movie.

[02:35:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream.

[02:36:00] [SPEAKER_06]: December 21st, 8 p.m., Hallmark Channel.

[02:36:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Jessica Loundez, and she is starring with the to-be-announced winner of Finding Mr. Christmas.

[02:36:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Very intriguing.

[02:36:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Mia, a meticulous webpage editor.

[02:36:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.

[02:36:17] [SPEAKER_08]: No, that's not a full-time job.

[02:36:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, is she the one editing IMDb?

[02:36:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my God.

[02:36:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Because that is a full-time.

[02:36:24] [SPEAKER_06]: No, because she's meticulous.

[02:36:26] [SPEAKER_06]: I'd like this.

[02:36:27] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[02:36:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, ho, ho, ho.

[02:36:29] [SPEAKER_06]: She's a meticulous webpage editor for the Seattle Tourism Board.

[02:36:33] [SPEAKER_06]: If they can hire somebody to do just that job, so help me.

[02:36:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Finds herself unexpectedly navigating the holidays alone.

[02:36:41] [SPEAKER_06]: As the only one working.

[02:36:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Why?

[02:36:44] [SPEAKER_06]: She's drawn into an unusual encounter when she encounters a stray dog.

[02:36:49] [SPEAKER_06]: He's encountered twice in four words?

[02:36:51] [SPEAKER_06]: What are you doing?

[02:36:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, I know this person just won the Finding Mr. Christmas, but they're actors.

[02:36:57] [SPEAKER_07]: She's drawn into an encounter when she encounters.

[02:37:01] [SPEAKER_07]: A usual encounter when she encounters a stray dog?

[02:37:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Did I write this just now?

[02:37:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Junk?

[02:37:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Junk's you with his junk.

[02:37:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Unsure how to handle the situation, she crosses paths with Max, played by winner of Finding Mr. Christmas,

[02:37:16] [SPEAKER_06]: a dog shelter owner.

[02:37:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Mia agrees to let Max's ailing dog find solace with her newfound companion in exchange for Max showing her the hidden gems of Seattle.

[02:37:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Come on, guys.

[02:37:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Through her journey together, they both step out of their comfort zones, discovering new perspectives and forming a meaningful connection.

[02:37:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Brian?

[02:37:45] [SPEAKER_03]: A very cool concept.

[02:37:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope the winner of Finding Mr. Christmas is not alert.

[02:37:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they were all excited about that.

[02:37:54] [SPEAKER_03]: The winner of the reality show is going to be in this.

[02:37:56] [SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.

[02:37:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's different.

[02:37:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'll be watching that.

[02:37:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope he's not allergic to dogs.

[02:38:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Seems like a big part of this movie.

[02:38:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I get the feeling they've already done the reality show, and they're already...

[02:38:06] [SPEAKER_07]: I think they know the winner of that show already, right?

[02:38:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

[02:38:09] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not going to be real time.

[02:38:10] [SPEAKER_06]: We still don't know if they are allergic to dogs or not.

[02:38:13] [SPEAKER_07]: You would think that would be part of it before they made the movie.

[02:38:16] [SPEAKER_07]: You would think so.

[02:38:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You would think so?

[02:38:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Muscle of dogs.

[02:38:18] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[02:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[02:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'll go three.

[02:38:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Man.

[02:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Peppermint mochas.

[02:38:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan?

[02:38:25] [SPEAKER_04]: It goes without saying, great cast all the way around, top to bottom.

[02:38:30] [SPEAKER_07]: And so...

[02:38:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I can't believe they got Michelle Ricci for two minutes in a row.

[02:38:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Her earlier stuff was just incredible.

[02:38:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Did you imagine Michelle Ricci, Italia Ricci, and Christina Ricci all in the same movie?

[02:38:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, man.

[02:38:40] [SPEAKER_04]: One of those people is even real.

[02:38:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Three wise women and a boy.

[02:38:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[02:38:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[02:38:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I also am worried about dog allergies, but that's just me in general every day of

[02:38:52] [SPEAKER_04]: my life.

[02:38:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that ultimately here, you know, the biggest thing is that I found a dog back in

[02:38:59] [SPEAKER_04]: the day, and that's been great, and so I'll give it a five.

[02:39:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Have you changed the dog's name yet, or are you waiting on me?

[02:39:07] [SPEAKER_06]: What's going on there?

[02:39:08] [SPEAKER_00]: My lawyers will be contacting you tomorrow morning.

[02:39:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Fair enough.

[02:39:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Patrick?

[02:39:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[02:39:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, this obviously is the reality show within the movie type of thing, right?

[02:39:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, they obviously filmed the movie while filming the reality show.

[02:39:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I imagine, like, every episode's like, okay, this is going to be, like, the cute scene

[02:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: with Jessica Loudon's, and they're just going to, like, cut those, like, good takes of the,

[02:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: like, winner and put it into a movie.

[02:39:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[02:39:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be really crazy.

[02:39:37] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be like a RuPaul's Drag Race, like, where they cut everything together after.

[02:39:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be great.

[02:39:43] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be great, you guys.

[02:39:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Jessica Loudon's evil genius.

[02:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: She can do no wrong, but she's 100% evil.

[02:39:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And I have no reason for this, except she just looks evil to me.

[02:39:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It's her eyes.

[02:40:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Something about her eyes.

[02:40:00] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, she's possessed by the devil.

[02:40:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to give it.

[02:40:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Look at those eyes.

[02:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Look at those eyes.

[02:40:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I cannot confirm that.

[02:40:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Nor can you deny it.

[02:40:12] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[02:40:13] [SPEAKER_00]: So this movie is getting my cream, and I'm giving it five mugs.

[02:40:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it.

[02:40:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[02:40:20] [SPEAKER_06]: What a move.

[02:40:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I love that.

[02:40:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Jax?

[02:40:24] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I think it's going to be so fun to watch the reality show winner.

[02:40:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I hope they're doing it the way that Patrick said, because that's genius.

[02:40:30] [SPEAKER_09]: And look, my girl Jessica, I do agree that she looks evil, but she is dirty hot, and I won't

[02:40:38] [SPEAKER_09]: explain that further.

[02:40:39] [SPEAKER_09]: But if you know, you know.

[02:40:41] [SPEAKER_09]: And that's why it's going to be four and a half peppermint mochas for me.

[02:40:44] [SPEAKER_09]: Dirty hot.

[02:40:46] [SPEAKER_05]: All right.

[02:40:48] [SPEAKER_07]: A lot of talking about.

[02:40:51] [SPEAKER_05]: This has the potential to be the win from Justin to Kelly of Hallmark movies, and I'm

[02:40:57] [SPEAKER_05]: here for it.

[02:40:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Five peppermint mochas.

[02:41:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's go.

[02:41:01] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not even close.

[02:41:02] [SPEAKER_06]: This movie has the highest dumpster fire potential.

[02:41:06] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going five.

[02:41:07] [SPEAKER_06]: It's easy five for me.

[02:41:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Dan?

[02:41:09] [SPEAKER_07]: This is an easy zero with an asterisk, not asterisk.

[02:41:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't need him.

[02:41:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't want him.

[02:41:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't have him.

[02:41:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Nope.

[02:41:16] [SPEAKER_07]: This is a zero with an asterisk to a five if this movie is like most colorful time of

[02:41:21] [SPEAKER_07]: the year bad, which I think there's at least like a 25% chance we could get there.

[02:41:26] [SPEAKER_07]: And if that's the case, I'm here for a so bad it's good.

[02:41:29] [SPEAKER_07]: But as it stands on paper, sounds terrible.

[02:41:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Zero.

[02:41:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Dirty hot.

[02:41:33] [SPEAKER_06]: We did it, everyone.

[02:41:35] [SPEAKER_06]: We did it.

[02:42:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks for joining us.

[02:42:06] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll be back tomorrow with our kickoff episode, which is similar to this, but different in a lot of ways.

[02:42:13] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a lot of different stuff about it.

[02:42:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Until then, maybe we first wish you a Merry Christmas.
