[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Bran and I love Christmas movies. I'm Dan and I despise Christmas movies I'm Alonzo and it doesn't snow in LA or Atlanta and this Wow Everybody it is great to be back on a Monday Monday Monday That's right talking about a 2023 Christmas movie

[00:00:45] We got this week and then we got next week and then we're heading into Christmas in July And I think now is as good a time as any yeah to let everybody know that Monday's

[00:00:54] Starting in Christmas in July through the start of the holiday season watching Christmas with the cranks every week We're gonna find something new about it. Tempt me with a good time We're gonna pick apart one scene pick our favorite performance and who you doing that with

[00:01:10] I am out of here Bob Yeah, I'll do it by myself. It'll be me and Brian. Yes No We are gonna change things up and we're not gonna just do the made for TVs from 2023 that we missed Where I do something else Alonzo, this was all your idea

[00:01:28] So I'll let you talk about it a little bit, but I'm excited about it. I'm excited Starting in July. I'm gonna be vague But I'm just gonna say I'm working on another Christmas related project and part of that is gonna be us digging through a variety of

[00:01:44] Recent Christmas films that for one reason or other we have not gotten to yet on a Monday and so Yeah, it's not gonna just be the 2023 is because I think we can all agree

[00:01:55] We have reached the bottom of the barrel at this point not this week, but previously we have Yes, so maybe time to you know mix it up a little bit

[00:02:03] Yeah, and if you think these are gonna be some award winners, we're kicking it off with Home Alone 3, so I want to be very Bit of a like a continuation of sorts of what Alonzo you and I did a couple years ago, but maybe not as good

[00:02:22] Yeah, I'm not gonna say these are ones I necessarily recommend off the bat but it's just yeah We're we're delving into good. I think so It's a new territory And also there's a movie that I thought

[00:02:33] Everyone had seen and that he has not seen and I'm kind of looking forward to us watching to actually over Then I'm okay really looking forward to Tanner's big time. There's big time is gonna be huge

[00:02:43] It's gonna be huge and I know I hadn't seen it. It came to theaters. I think a wide release and I missed it I think I think it was a wide release. I mean at least 1200 plus

[00:02:53] Yeah screen so how have you never been invited to a Tanner's big-time watch party Running those circles. I don't know I go to one every year. I guess I thought Alonzo was inviting you and he thought

[00:03:09] You know, I have a really great old mr. Smedley costume the people just do an all over Yeah, it's not you guys both go to the same Tanner's party every year Steven Spielberg's there and you neither of you have invited me

[00:03:23] Right. It's not a Spielberg movie, of course. No I need to come clean about something. Do we go to that party? Yes, have we talked about the fact that we're not gonna invite you. Yes, we have and I'm sorry about that

[00:03:36] Do you think I would ruin the vibe feel like you just need to see it by yourself first before you could handle the party that we go to Cuz yeah, I'm just gonna get ridiculed to know in if you show up and you

[00:03:51] Invited me to the party. I of course I would have watched it beforehand Oh, you think it's a that no, I have the card on the other side of that horse. Really? Yes, you think I would show up as soon as you show interest in Tanner's big-time

[00:04:03] Then we can have a conversation about the party. Okay, you know, yeah, that's right And we've we've already had this whole got until then. Yeah, that's right Does Lizzo still go? You know

[00:04:20] Well, this is fun let's talk about how to ruin the holidays how to ruin the holidays it originally premiered Really It originally why would you talk about that and new em? Oh my gosh. Can you imagine those two in the room?

[00:04:38] Originally premiered at something called CineQuest Film Festival on March 13th 2023 Wow, then eventually came to Streamers on demand on December 15th 2023 so I don't really know what happened. I don't know the journey between CineQuest and The streamers probably a normal independent film journey. Yes, quite the journey

[00:05:00] festivals and and it went a little something like this the movie kicks off with A guy shooting video on his phone. He's making fart noises. It's big fun. It is mark He's recording some videos for his sister Shelly

[00:05:18] She lives out in LA and we cut to her. She's auditioning for a bunch of Just stuff, you know, she's getting yelled at while she's doing improv. She's a struggling Comedian out in LA and she gets back to her place is talking to her friend Susie

[00:05:36] about the holidays and how Shelley's family is just unbearable. They're so hard to be around She gets a call from her sister who tells her hey, I just sent you a screenplay I'd love for you to read it. Also dad had a fall

[00:05:51] And also we really need to talk about what happens with Mark once dad, you know can't take care of him anymore So anyway, let me know what you think about my screenplay. Bye So she's like well, I guess I gotta go back home

[00:06:04] so she lands in Atlanta hot Lana and Gets a call from her manager that SNL is looking for a new female comedian in a hurry So send me some stuff she gets home and dad is totally totally fine

[00:06:20] The real motivation to convince dad to sell the house now Apparently there's like, you know taxes and whatnot and it's beginning to be too much and we got to get out of this

[00:06:31] Before you know foreclosure or whatever so it'd be best if dad just sold the house now But he doesn't want to do that so Shelley is like well seeing as how you lied about dad's fall

[00:06:45] Let me see how bad things are here and then I can make the judgment for myself The house is a bit of a mess, but you know We've all been there. We've all been there. We've all sometimes yeah

[00:06:58] Sometimes you leave some dishes around and stuff around and you go. Well, we'll get to it tomorrow There for straight years after college. Yeah And before Aaron came we were here every day and we've been here for a while. We've been here for a while

[00:07:12] So, you know, whatever So she does see mark mark is Microwaving tinfoil and listening to techno music and it is fantastic Dad is in full doomsday mode. He's like doing

[00:07:26] Stack in cans out in the shed and whatnot has no desire to sell the house happy where they are But after seeing that dad is hiring what she believes to be a woman of the night

[00:07:39] As we work, I don't know if we're allowed to say sex on the show What I don't know. We've we've said sex on this show before a schmecks worker. I'll be the dirty

[00:07:49] I'll be yeah, listen, I'll be above I'll be I'll paint in the picture here. It's a schmeck You'll paint in the picture the picture. It's a schmecks. What are you just coloring in the lines? Yeah, I drew the box of sex and you're coloring in that

[00:08:07] So she's a sex she's a schmecks work, okay, gosh man look a milf manner runs on this surface Okay, I just don't know how we got here. So she's like, okay, we gotta clean this house up

[00:08:21] We gotta fix everything that's going on. Everything is just falling apart right here So she finds out that SNL loved her tape. She gets a call back and She's really excited about this after cleaning up the house. They go and they get a Christmas tree

[00:08:34] We find out that the last time that Shelley came home Her dad told her that it was probably time to quit comedy and get a real job Which is why she has not come home in the last few years

[00:08:44] She tells her dad that she is the closest that she's ever been to finally making it and You know, she really wants that but also wants to make sure that her family is okay

[00:08:55] She wants to take care of her family, but then she gets a call and finds out that She did not get the gig went to some tik-tok star. Yeah, can you believe it in there?

[00:09:07] And she's real hurt by this the final straw is when she comes out of a room and sees mark is watching Folks do the dirty is what I wrote down on the family TV She tells her that dad would you're supposed to be helping protect mark

[00:09:24] Looking out for him and dad is like I let him do what he wants as long as he's not hurting anybody Himself or anybody around him. So she throws the cable box on the ground

[00:09:34] Stomps on it on it and storms out. She decides that she you know what? I just want to make a nice Christmas dinner have it as a family and have one nice memory together Now throughout the movie sister keeps asking

[00:09:48] How have you read the screenplay? Are you gonna read the screenplay? Can you please read the screenplay? And so finally her sister is like listen I'm gonna make dinner you go and you read the screenplay and she ends up loving the screenplay to the point of tears

[00:10:02] this leads her to have She's apologizing to her dad for freaking out on him and they have a real heart-to-heart One of the best films moments in film history Maybe then would you say I know I haven't seen Tanner's big time

[00:10:18] But it's perhaps this heart-to-heart rivals. I could keep it in perspective They have a great night. They're eating dinner together. They're singing Toto together all of the Christmas classics his Schmecks worker friend comes over and suddenly you hear her scream dad is unconscious

[00:10:38] Uh, they were trying they were getting ready why why is he unconscious they were gonna try something new in the bedroom What were they gonna try? I? Definitely can't say why what they were gonna try something. What was it? What was it called?

[00:10:58] Click the skip 45 seconds button. They were gonna do the anal pile driver That's what they were gonna try We Odo you know what the dude Here's your son Come on, man. Combine that with the one from when calls the heart. We're golden

[00:11:19] Two clips together he is quick update. Yeah, so they run him to the hospital it was liver failure. They're gonna need a blood transfusion yes, and Mark has the right kind of blood he agrees to do it even though he thinks it's gonna kill him

[00:11:35] What a guy they go to find the doctor the doctor comes out and says it's too late. He didn't make it They go home, and they start arguing about what what they're gonna do with mark. What's gonna happen

[00:11:46] They say some things that they will most definitely regret mark overhears all of this he leaves the next morning Sherry wakes up to this to the fire alarm going off mark was trying to make breakfast

[00:11:57] Filled the house with smoke so she throws the pan outside which ultimately catches fire Which makes it look like it's snowing because of the ass yeah, but it's not it's not it's just the the fire

[00:12:09] their mom ends up showing up and she says that she's gonna come here and And I'll make sure that mark is taken care of they hate their mom and so Shelly is like marks coming with me

[00:12:20] And so does their sister cut to six months later. They're all living in Atlanta together They're working at the theater making ha has happened and Shelly is crushing the stand-up scene in Atlanta With her family by her side and now my friends was

[00:12:39] We did it we did to it. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back We will break this movie down here on the hallmark Hello, everybody welcome back. We're talking about how to ruin the holidays

[00:13:02] It's from it's a local local joint it is made down in Atlanta two and a half hours from yeah that Greenville, right we've the Green room and the place where she's performing at the end of this movie. We've been there and done a lot

[00:13:14] Yeah, and apparently so it's like a dad's garage production And I guess they've gotten a good reason super cool to see super cool. It's a really cool venue. Yeah. Yeah very cool Let's get to the hot take is where we share exactly how he felt about this movie

[00:13:26] We do not hold back, and I'm gonna start with my good friend Alonzo Alonzo What did you think of how to ruin the holidays?

[00:13:33] Well first I have a question are they in Atlanta at the end of the movie or do they all go to LA at the end They're in Atlanta at the end of the movie. They say they say Atlanta. It was like you've been a great, okay, so

[00:13:44] You've been a great crowd Atlanta. Yeah, okay, cuz I thought somebody I thought the woman on stage is saying was like talking about like the best comedian and the worst roommate And I thought it was Aisha Tyler again, so I thought they were all in LA, but okay

[00:14:01] Maybe she moved out there with her Atlanta. Oh, I don't know maybe 100% dad's garage Both didn't go sure they both didn't get SNL and so I guess they said let's just move to Atlanta like I don't know I don't that it does make a guy Isha Tyler

[00:14:17] Introducing her I thought that was Her sister, and now I realized it is definitely Aisha Tyler's voice. Yeah, that's interesting great For the what the Hallmark yes Anyway, I really enjoyed this you know it is definitely a I

[00:14:34] Will say this is not a movie that is directed by Someone who has a real feel for the visual side of filmmaking, but I think the writing is really sharp I think the performances are good The fact that you have this sort of dealt

[00:14:52] developmentally disabled character who is you know I think treated really interestingly and Humanely in this film not just sort of with kid gloves like they acknowledge that he you know has a goofy sense of humor that

[00:15:06] He likes to watch porn whatever and and the fact that some characters are trying to sort of shield him from things Like are proven to be in the wrong that they need to like not just pretend that he's a perpetual child

[00:15:18] But that he is indeed an adult and treat him that way I liked the the fact that the protagonist kind of You see you know when she doesn't get SNL

[00:15:30] There's this look on her face like this is the end of my dreams, but then it isn't you know And I don't know I just it was it was always surprising to me the way that the family dynamic was unfolding the way the characters were interacting

[00:15:45] So yeah, I was I was charmed by this I also quite enjoyed this movie. I thought the script was fantastic and lots of just really funny conversations that happened in the midst of you know a messy movie full of interesting family dynamics and

[00:16:04] Ultimately at the end of it like the magic of the holidays and the magic of family kind of pulls pulls through there was So much to like I thought the leads with the the lead especially was fantastic the fact that we've now seen Colin Mockery in two

[00:16:19] of these movies, and he is Not there just for the funny ha ha's more so in this movie than the other movie he was a bad guy Is really like interesting thing like you know I we know Colin Mockery obviously from whose line and

[00:16:37] He's always going for the joke so here to kind of get to see him do some funny stuff But also have some serious acting scenes Was was really great. I yeah really enjoyed this one. I thought it was really good. You know yeah

[00:16:48] There's a lot to like here. I agree the Lanza the like from a directorial standpoint. There's just no Visual flair or panache it's very very independent very basic But the scripts amazing there's two or three lines that made me laugh out loud

[00:17:04] Performances are great you have some like bigger talent around the periphery like Ronnie Chang and Aisha Tyler and Colin Mockery, but the central performances are all wonderful They treat everyone with the the respect and dignity they deserve that's always a win. It's complicated That's great

[00:17:22] I mean it totally is kind of all over the place not every bit works It tries to kind of spoof a little bit like or lean into like some weird stuff that They could have stayed away from and it could have been a little bit more fun so

[00:17:35] Compared to the last four weeks. It's you know it's but but As is better than average of what we've been doing around here, and I think it's the writing. It's it's the really The humor that's found in the darkest of times that I found to be

[00:17:52] Really really the shining star of this movie, so yeah, I'd Definitely happy we watched it Aside for all the feels we were talking about what those who he gave us feels Alonzo well, I do love a dysfunctional family Christmas comedy. This is one of my favorite flavors

[00:18:08] The the LA stuff is actually funny like I think making fun of Los Angeles can be real low-hanging fruit sometimes and people Still I know People still somehow can't grab the low-hanging fruit, but like the idea of like oh yes

[00:18:23] I had Botox on my eyelids, and I have no peripheral vision like that's funny. I laughed at that stuff I love the whole The plugging in the light scene because we've seen that montage a million times it ends with the triumphant

[00:18:35] You know and then she does it and nothing happens You know they have to figure out all the stuff like that that made me laugh I thought Larry was consistently hilarious the yeah grumpy neighbor and and and and his that resolution

[00:18:48] That was great, and I love the sing-along like I did that's a I know that's an audience pleaser moment, but I was pleased yeah Three like just little bits that made me laugh out loud her sister Drinking bubbly water and calling it spicy

[00:19:05] I thought was very funny namely because we have children and Kid like kids just being like this spicy, and she's not a child obviously But her just being like so spicy was the first time she did it it caught me off guard

[00:19:18] I'm like I don't know and then you realize I realized very quickly She's gonna go back to that well two three times, and I was like this is gonna work. I see yeah, I agree I thought that the obsession with Toto was really funny

[00:19:30] The sing-along was great, but also Africa right not Africa Yes that whole thing happened And I think you know about like how you think back to your childhood and you think back to the music that you listen to oftentimes fondly and

[00:19:48] You kind of have this like thing with your family only or people that kind of grew up in your circle where it's like we This is kind of our thing and they get excited about singing Toto around the fire because it's what they listened to growing up

[00:20:01] And I thought that was really great And then the other thing that made me laugh a lot is when they're in the hospital And Mark shows up, and they're like you're the one that needs to give blood and he's like okay

[00:20:11] How long after I give blood well will will it be before I die and Shelley just goes 15 minutes? I thought was Very funny lots of funny little things in this movie. I was going to say a member of our family

[00:20:28] Down so Colin mockery is giving an absolute performance in this movie has some scenes that you don't think Colin mockery Whatever have in any movie and he's great Across the board from the aforementioned scene where he dies all the way to a scene where he talks about

[00:20:45] Having mark as a child and they're all he does an amazing job But there's two lines from the sister who is living in Atlanta jealous of her sister But also like vain in a weird way and thinks soda water spicy, but she says

[00:21:01] She says I got this screenplay done, and she's on the phone and she goes would you describe me as the crow meets legally blonde? I've not met the sister yet You don't get to see her you only hear her say would you describe me as the crow?

[00:21:19] Meets legally blonde, and I was like that's a great line And then we meet her and she says this is maybe the best and it's not even someone from LA But this felt like an LA burn even though it isn't because we got

[00:21:33] You we were on Good Morning America in 2018 after a good morning America everyone reached out to us and the weirdest person to reach out to me was someone that I went to

[00:21:45] Elementary school with had not talked to for over 20 years, and I got a Facebook message from this guy Asking me to read his screenplay like like I could do anything with that screenplay

[00:21:59] But she says to her sister this line, which is my favorite line of the movie have you read my screenplay? I would love your feedback no notes per se because it's completely done, and I'm not open to any changes Such a perfect I'm in Georgia

[00:22:21] I've written a screenplay. It's flawless, and I don't want any notes. No no it's perfect It was so in the way. She said it just off in like hey. I'd really love your feedback I mean no notes per se because it's completely done, and I'm not

[00:22:37] Is like not just the best possible It's like an actor who's bad in one of these movies giving a terrible take and the directors like you want to go one more It's like Tobias when he gives the take about the fire sale, and he's like

[00:22:51] Sail they're like you want to go one more time, and he's like nope Sisters really funny in this yes, it's very funny. Let's take a quick break We'll come back with the way what the what the Hallmark here on

[00:23:17] Welcome back you said you're a professional. I didn't want it to last too long We're talking about how to ruin the holidays and it's time for the wait What is where we talk about what this movie made us go wait what? Alonzo

[00:23:32] I have to say there wasn't a ton that I felt like was you know Fits this category. I will say the the aforementioned Screenplay the sister has emailed it to her and keeps asking her to read it when she does finally read it She whips out a binder

[00:23:49] with you know 200 printed pages in it that I was like Somebody went to Kinko's during all this I guess The big one yeah, yeah, and what if she had like handed it to her Luckily I have it here

[00:24:07] And then I will say like there's a bit of a hairpin turn from comedy to tragedy in the movie that Left me a little whiplash. She's but ultimately it was okay, but yeah, they just like Dad's dying on the ice they fell down on the ice

[00:24:23] Where they play hockey on Christmas Day, and he just drew Xmas This was this was more of a hairpin turn than that one. Yeah, I mean it was like Did not feel earned to me at all like at all that they kill this character

[00:24:43] Directly after like it was crazy It's like a comedy romp with a few good lessons about treating people with respect And then all of a sudden they just kill a dude the way they kill him and it's like

[00:24:56] What yeah, that was a that was a huge one for me I did I did love When like she she wouldn't come out and say like what they were doing and then once she finally does she won't stop talking She's like

[00:25:10] But really random really ran this really random. I thought for sure he's gonna live Yeah, no I didn't I thought like you know here's the thing is that I can get to a little more in my way What but the only reason that hold the line?

[00:25:25] Scene is as long as it is is because of what's coming next They don't know how to they have to land the sentimental plane to shock you like that And they just they hold the line on that song. They just

[00:25:41] Was that it Alonzo yeah, I don't have many either one They she walks into her room which is now an office and It's in pretty good shape the offices aside from the two socks that are on the computer monitor Which is just an interesting place to put

[00:26:00] The computer monitor also. I don't know why mark doesn't just have his little Christmas countdown thing in his room like After that first day, I'm going hey mark, but let's move this to your room

[00:26:16] It's easy let's let's just go do this over here instead of you having to come in here She also is gonna be would you rather they had done like a reggae Christmas song at 5 o'clock in the morning? They she is gonna sleep on the pull-out couch and

[00:26:39] she is Really eager to get this set up, and then she also does like Work in reading on the pull-out couch that you don't get on that sucker until the last second I was a fully grown adult that has slept on a pull-out couch

[00:26:55] You don't want to you only want to think about that thing until the very last second They are never comfortable, and she's just like yeah, I'll just lounge around on the pull-out couch It'll be totally comfortable

[00:27:06] That's I think where she reads the screenplay is on the pull-out every great every pound you are over Childhood yeah every pound whatever you think a child age weight is every pound you are over that is one more like

[00:27:20] Step into don't get on the sofa bed. Don't do it. Yeah Just can't like a sofa bed is my nightmare I want to build an eject button no and knowing what I know about Colin Marbury's character

[00:27:35] It's not like he's gotten a new one recently like that things been around since oh no since since the is since the garden I don't know Yeah the garden garden yeah the garden in Hilton down there down there

[00:27:53] So Colin mockery's character the first time we meet him comes out of the gate Hot as a doomsday prepper like camo bandana wrapped Saving stuff you got to get your you know crapping your inch bag and and Literally, we never hear anything about it afterwards

[00:28:13] We have one scene of Colin mockery super ultra doomsday prepper, and then they never They just feel like we established He's this is who he is and then he never talks about it And if you've ever known a doomsday prepper

[00:28:28] If you if you because I ran into a handful that may have had blood relation during during y2k They don't just talk about it once They're not dabbling This isn't something they're trying on to see if it fits right that is

[00:28:45] That that is a much bigger thing and so that was the part of this that I was like when is this coming back around? And it just it just never came a bit of it's a bit of your identity Yes, a little bit a little bit

[00:28:55] I mean the only time it came back is that those are the bags that they grabbed to look at but that's it Well and there's the callback to it with the fire stuff, but but yeah by that point it's not about him anymore

[00:29:06] Yeah, um the hold the line scene around the fire with the kazoo solo great idea my laptop screen timed out It is it this the scene. I'm not that is that's not a bit that scene is it's the whole song

[00:29:21] Yeah, it's the whole song you just don't need it. Oh Oh It was amazing it was amazing it was too long it was a minute too long It's two gets one way around especially to then just throw us into what happens right after that

[00:29:39] I I thought that was an absolute editing nightmare for me anyway um and then lastly and maybe I just Didn't quite understand this and I'm more than happy to Like admit that they want him to sell the house

[00:29:55] Because he's not paying the property taxes on it every year, but at this point He's still above sea level on it. And so if he sells it now He can get money that correct correct and his

[00:30:11] basic premise is you can pry the house from my cold dead hands Correct, okay Okay Yeah, we just to assume that Colin mockery is just mentally ill and doesn't understand that they're gonna pry it from his

[00:30:28] Alive hands living. Yeah, he is a libertarian man. He is a libertarian, but they're gonna come in and for like libertarians lose always Taxes but that's right and and so that that

[00:30:46] Are we to is our basic give in this movie Colin mockery is just not accepting the fact That he can get something for his house instead. He's going to get nothing I mean, I think the conversation they have in the in the in the room there the

[00:31:03] Yeah barn, whatever. It's called proves that he does he is aware of so he just he just well, that's my way Well, yeah, he would just rather rat in his mind. I would rather that happens and clearly loves his kids

[00:31:15] Why wouldn't you give some money to your kids if you could do it? You're just gonna sit there and hemorrhage the value of your house away to prove a point

[00:31:24] Like I just yeah, they tried their best to write it well, but that was my big this doesn't these things don't click Here's a here's a script note. If you'd kept the doomsday prepper part

[00:31:36] You could be like society's gonna collapse at any moment. Why should I bother you beat me to it by like by Three seconds if they had connected it by by keeping the thread line of him

[00:31:48] not believing that currency or property will be worth anything because of what's coming in the Apocalypse on the horizon then I then it's great But the way it was presented made it sound like this guy is just he doesn't understand math

[00:32:03] Yeah, and he and I just I did that part. I didn't buy They go it's time for what the homework story wonder what could have been maybe have a good some clarity any questions that we still have Alonzo

[00:32:16] Well, I for one would like to know the destiny of this screenplay. That's apparently so great Yeah That we are told is moving and funny and all the other things and like unless they're getting Tyler Perry to produce it

[00:32:29] I don't know what kind of traction they're getting in Atlanta for that. Yeah, I that was mine was I'm gonna go ahead because mine's similar to that which is similar, which is They spend all this time focusing on the sister

[00:32:42] That's in Los Angeles and she were you know Her and her sister have a great cathartic moment and then they both take mark and they're gonna you know Mark's gonna live with them and then afterwards that that poss lude or that whatever

[00:32:56] The epilogue I felt like we were gonna get something to where both sisters are flourishing and loving what they do Right, but we only kind of did we just the script just kind of disappears and she's just kind of directing everybody

[00:33:11] And I didn't what I what I wanted to happen was what they do in Season where the sister that's kind of out there has this crazy idea and then it turns out to be a best-seller and like it was

[00:33:25] Like this sister that's been trying all these years to quote-unquote make it but can't do it on her own Has a sister who writes this crazy script Let's do this thing together like we can we can I don't know

[00:33:35] I was hoping for something like that at the end of this like Cut to two years later and it's the red carpet for the premiere of her movie and the comedian is starring in it or something
