'Love of the Irish' through 'Hearts Around the Table: Jenna's First Love'
[00:00:02] Hi, I'm Brian and I love ranking episodes. Hi, I'm Brian and I like ranking episodes. Hi, I'm Dan and I despise ranking episodes. This is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark gets this podcast. And friends host this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Hello everybody. Oh yeah. How are we? We are a- Ain't no party like a Q1 ranking party.
[00:00:38] That's right. Q1 is coming to an end. We're on schedule too. Yeah. I want to just say this, if all the Brian stands out there, you're in a triple dose of Brian because he's back today to help us rank the movies so far this year. And then we're going to preview some movies. Brian was mad about how much money we were paying him. Yeah. Yeah. So let's tone it down a little bit here. Yeah. You got to balance it out. More than fair. You got to give a little to get a little. Amen brother. Ranking episodes are always fun. If you're new here,
[00:01:09] we'll get to the rules here in a little bit, but everything is very cemented at this point. I don't think we've ever changed anything. No. And I think these episodes are best consumed via Philo. Yes. Sure. Because without the Philo, you're not going to get to see the board that we have on the screen that we're manipulating to make sure all the movies get ranked correctly. So come join us.
[00:01:32] File it out. If you use SDTH, of course, you can continue to listen. We'll do our best as an audio format to explain what's happening. But if you're a visual person, there you go. File it out. If you use SDTH. What are we waiting for? Let's get to it. Here's what we're working with today. What do we got? Two, four, six, eight, 10, 12, 14. That's right. Movies so far in 2025. Real winners up there. And we have five different tiers in which they can go in. Starting from the
[00:02:02] bottom at dumpster fire. Bad, bad, bad, bad. Standard feels big fun. Maybe six. Three per. And the real movie territory. Three per? Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah. One's going to have two. And I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's going to be real movie territory. Sure. Lots to get to. So we are going to go through. We are going to throw them in there. We're going to try to figure out the correct order in which these go. And then wherever they are at the end of this, they can't
[00:02:32] move up again after. It's so stupid. It's not stupid. So when we come back in Q2. Dude, it's so crazy because you know that these are the worst of the worst. Like, I got news for you. My Argentine heart may not end up in dumpster fire. So when we come back in Q2, we can't move that sucker down? That's brutal. Well, I mean, Sisterhood Inc. That deserves a spot. We're not there yet. So.
[00:02:58] Well, we can't move it. If a movie is here and here, we can't move it back up here in front and go in front of another movie in a later one. What are you talking about? You know what I mean? Like, if it's here and here. If you got. Yeah. I thought you were saying we couldn't move it out of the category. No, it can move out of the category. Okay. All right. That's what I thought you meant. That's what I thought you meant, too. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It might happen. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm talking just about. Yeah.
[00:03:26] Placement in accordance with the other movies. Because I got to be honest, I don't know how only three of these movies are ending up in dumpster fire. I'm looking at at least 10. Okay, well, let's start with love of the Irish. Brian, take it away. Love of the Irish. Yeah, this is a real high one for me. If I remember correctly, and I'm sure I do. We all love this one. So standard feels feels right with love of the Irish.
[00:03:52] Dumpster fire. It's in dumpster fire. This movie sucks. It's so bad. It's so, so bad. It's not. It's not that bad. It might move out. But at this point, it is in dumpster fire. You want to just start it? Yes. Oh, boy. Well, I guess that's fair. Some people might start at the top. No, no, no, not started at the bottom. Not when all these movies are going to be challenging for that spot. Yeah, that's true. Polar Opposites. The Fish. Oh, yeah.
[00:04:22] It's the best January movie. The Fish is back. I think this movie is going to end up top six. I think it's going to end up big fun, maybe six. You think so? I do. All the way up there. I mean, it's going to end up top five. Maybe not. You don't have it, though, higher than love of the Irish. Oh, boy. I think I do. Yeah. Okay. I mean, The Fish was a good time. Standard Feels? Fish is always a good time. Yeah. Standard Feels, maybe, Brian? Be safe. What do you think? Maybe let's start with Standard Feels. Okay. All right.
[00:04:50] Start there and kind of. It's going to be a 10-minute episode. It's going to be awesome. Well, we got a few ad breaks. Don't you worry. Yeah. Stretch it out a bit. My Argentine heart. Oh, yeah. Oh, boy. Lots of fun clothes. Sure. Remember, it's got Julie Gonzalo in it. It does. Yeah. I don't know if you recall. I've taken a step off of that. Yes. You're on a Gonzalo sabbatical. Yeah. Oh, my God. So good.
[00:05:15] The first one of the year. Oh, my God. Gonzalo sabbatical? Phenomenal. Oh, my God. Even the intermission. Take one. It's so unbelievable. I think by the third encore, it really cemented itself as being a special time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The movie, however, not a special time. It's the worst so far. This is the worst. It's the worst of the three. In my opinion. Yes. Absolutely. All right. It probably adopts tear fire. Yeah. I don't remember this next movie. What is this one? I can't remember.
[00:05:45] This is the perfect setting. This is Guy from Ted Lasso. This is Girl Goes Over. Oh, the jewelry movie. The jewelry. Oh, right. God, this is terrible. This movie sucks. Good kiss, I think, if I recall. I don't recall. It was a good kiss. He was a tall boy. Good kiss. I'll agree with you. Let's put it bad, bad, bad, bad. That's what I say we do. Okay. Okay. Where do you have it there, Brian? It probably is. But maybe even still feels. You're getting a little hurt already by how low love of the Irish is. I can tell you.
[00:06:15] Yeah, you can just get bent on that one. But on the rest of it, take love of the Irish out of it. Is that the order you would have those three movies in? Polar Opposite First. Polar One, Perfect Setting Two, Argentine Heart Three. Oh, probably. Okay. Brian, is that the order you would have those in? That is the order that I would have in. That's the order I would have in. All right. I feel like we're good here. Yeah, we're doing great. He's just wrong on the Irish movie. He's wrong on the Irish movie. I don't really like the Irish movie.
[00:06:39] Top of the Wolf. That was a fun bit we had going on. That's right. Okay. An unexpected Valentine. I'm just kidding. Now we're talking. This is easily the best so far, right? Yeah. Out of these so far, yeah. Listen, this was coming. Yeah, let's do real movie territory. I feel like two movies have to go there. And I think this should start there. We'll see what happens.
[00:07:03] Well, let's see what happens. I think this should start there is all I'm saying. I think this was a movie, you know, after a dry January, so to speak. It's a very nice thing. Very refreshing to come out of the game with this. Yes. This was like, you know, a nice, refreshing water untouched by human hands. Yeah, you can't have those filthy hands over there. As good as it gets in that regard. So I think starting it up there at the real movie territory makes the most sense personally. That's just me. That's just me.
[00:07:33] That gives us to reality bites. Reality bites. Oh, yeah. It's Hannah Swenson. This is the reality show that comes. This is the... We'll see. This is the reality show inner thing. That's right. Someone dies. That host is there. And then who's done it again? Her assistant, right? Yes. All right. So here's what I'll say.
[00:08:00] Because her dad's serial killer. Right. He was in jail. That's right. That's right. It's all coming back. It's all coming back. Yeah, it's a good one. I hate these movies. I would have it maybe last. I'm more than willing to admit that it probably isn't the worst. Yeah. I just hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I think I'd be comfortable. I'm interested to hear what you guys think, and then I'll give my opinion based upon you two, because I think my opinion doesn't... I just hate these movies. Wait a minute. I'm comfortable with it at like a bad, bad, bad, bad.
[00:08:29] Okay. I was thinking that too. They figured out a lot in these, I feel like. Can we put it worse than perfect setting? Yes. Can we do that? I think we can do that. I think we can. And I think we can also go to a break. I think we can go to a break. We're going to come back. I don't think so, Bran. You don't think so? We got some more movies to rank. More arguments to be had. Yeah. So we'll be right back here on Deck the Hallmark. Deck the Hallmark. Take it off. I got it.
[00:08:51] Hello, everybody. Welcome back. We're ranking the Q1 movie. That's quarter one, by the way. The good stuff is what we call that. Quarter one, 2025. We're about, what is it, halfway through at this point? Sure. We got nine left, eight left.
[00:09:17] Currently, at the bottom is My Argentine Heart. At the top is an unexpected Valentine and a handful of movies in between. But we still got some more to go, so let's see where they land up. Up next, did I say land up? Yeah, you can see where they land up. Let's see where they land up. Land up! I kind of like it. Up next is The Wish Swap. A movie with a great idea, a great premise. And then it's just a regular movie. Yes, and then we lose a little bit of the magic. Magic, or by a little bit, I mean all of the magic.
[00:09:47] Pretty early on, and then we're just left with a standard flick. This is tough. I'm pre-mad about only three dumpster fires. I do think My Argentine Heart is the worst movie. I think this is next. You think so? I do. Crystal Lowe was real fun in this movie. Her best friend. And you also have Pascal Hutton in there, all in service of nothing. The movie is so bad.
[00:10:15] I really, really hate this movie, but you guys clearly are higher on it than I am. Yeah. I mean, bad, but bad, but bad feels like a good punishment. That feels better for me. Like, I like it more than Love of the Irish, that's for sure. But I'm looking at what's left, and I don't think anything else is worse than that. You don't think so? No. You don't think so? It's hard to see. Oh, I see where you're looking. Those seven movies, none of those. Oh, yeah, you're right. Well, hold on. Coming in.
[00:10:43] Coming in right at the end. So possible contender. Well, let's put it at the top of Dumpster Fire, and maybe it'll move its way. Oh, I sure hope so. You okay with that, Brad? It's literally the same spot. Yeah, just different tier. Dumpster. Actually, it's better. Dumpster. It's at the top of Dumpster versus the bottom of Bad of the Bad, so it's rough. It's kind of. Did you like this movie? Not so much.
[00:11:11] I feel like it dropped the ball and fell a little flat, but there were parts that I really liked, and I thought were fun, but it did. Polar Opposites is looking like it's going to move up the board. Oh, boy. Return to office! Return to office! Only two days a week! We're talking return to office. Which one? Return! Return to office! Another movie. Premise, super fun.
[00:11:40] Actors, really great. Maybe a little bit fumbling of the premise overall. A little bit. As far as messaging back and forth, not knowing who the person is. That type of movie. I still think it's one of the better ones of the year, though, just based off of performances and whatnot. It's better than polar opposites. I don't think it is. No? I think so. I don't think it's better than polar opposites. I think it's better than polar opposites.
[00:12:08] I think it's worse than polar opposites, but that is not some high praise of polar opposites. That is purely the existence of Rian and Fish. I didn't think Return to office was good at all. I love Janelle Parrish. Janelle Parrish! I love the premise. They bungled it from the get-go. It's Sugar Plum. That's right. We're talking Sugar Plum. They bungled it from the get-go. It wasn't good. Geico, by the way. Yeah, it is. We got Chad from HR in this one. He was fun. Okay, I guess. This movie wasn't good. Calvin? You got...
[00:12:38] Yeah, Calvin is an Italian chef. That's right. I forgot. I forgot. Calvin teaching Italian cooking. Yeah. This guy? I... I... Look, you guys can overrule me. We don't have to have a big fight. Peter Gallagher, that's right. I think this is a bad movie. I think of the ones left, aside from the Lund Newbro, this is my least favorite of the ones left. Oh, my. Maybe that... No, I take that back. Maybe Royal-ish. Maybe Royal-ish. I didn't think about Royal-ish.
[00:13:06] So, I would like... I mean, it's right there with perfect setting to me, but you guys can overrule me. Do your worst. I'd like to put it above polar opposites. Yeah, same here. Should we... The first one in Big Fun, maybe six? Good God. Dude, should it? There's no world where this is a top five. Let's slide it in. Let's slide it in there so we have one in each. A little balance. There we go. That looks good. Let's slide it so we have one in each. That looks nice. Up next, we have Sisterhood, Inc. Oh, yeah. Obviously, real movie territory. This is my favorite of them. By a mile.
[00:13:37] Probably. Yeah. It's the best of the year. The first one is the first movie of the year that had an intriguing premise and followed through on the premise. Uh-huh. Right? So, like, not only was it a fun idea, like the Wish movie or like the Return to Office movie, but it actually did the thing. We got Rachel Lee Cook, who I... You've been on the record. Trust as far as you can show. I trust her with my life. Rachel Lee Cook's phenomenal in this. Daniela Monet. Daniela Monet's wonderful. Fantastic. Yeah, this is the best. Frank for Surprime.
[00:14:05] This is the best of what we have so far. It is. Okay. Just throw it up at the top. Easy. Absolutely. That's easy. And that was our introduction to Chase being on the show and potentially replacing Brian Dunderman. Oh, that was true. Absolutely. So, yeah. It's just not like... There we go. There we go. You did it. Wait a second. It's Monday. One of the highlights of these episodes is figuring out how to get pictures to both. Yeah. It's fun. Is there a better system than Tearmaker? I don't know. No way. No. But it's more fun. Why don't you ask Chase?
[00:14:35] Your new best friend. It is easier getting pictures to move in this than getting pictures to move in like a Word document. You know where you move the image like a centimeter and everything you've typed out... Oh, it's the worst. ...just goes onto like a new document basically. Page break. So, yeah. So it's not as bad as that. Oh, you wanted a full page break?
[00:14:54] I think you wanted a full page break. You know Clippy and Jeeves, they hang out at a bar every weekend. Oh, my gosh. I would love to go to that bar. I'd love to. Same. Call him data. It gets old fast. It's great. The Royal... They're relentless. Royal Wee. The Royal Wee. Oh, this is a bad movie. What?
[00:15:23] This is a bad movie. No. No. I don't like this movie at all. No. There were worse Royal movies. One. That month? Royal-ish. I like it in standard feels personally. I think it's worse than Polar Opposites. I would have it after Polar Opposites. That's exactly what I would have. Bro, you seem to be a little wincier. I think I liked it more than Polar Opposites. No, Aaron disagrees. Can you please put some respect on Fish? Can you please? No disrespect to the Fish. If Rhiannon Fish... Well, that would... No, because Janelle Parris was wonderful.
[00:15:52] I was going to say if she was in Return to Office, I probably would have liked that one more. But I wouldn't. No. No. Good job. Janelle Parris was great. Royal-wee was pretty fun. Can I remind you about the Royal-wee, Brian? It was all about the Bruins. No. He liked it. We all hated it. He liked it. All about that B. The on-the-street-in-Boston outdoor tablecloth pizza parlor. The Bruins called out multiple times. Shout out. What am I going to do? No, I had a good time. I watched that movie this weekend. It's fresh in my mind. Had a good time up until the last bit where this man cannot be unattended for five seconds.
[00:16:20] He goes missing for five minutes. And they put out like- All points, bullets. Yeah. Which is just weird to me. Like, he's gone five minutes and they're like, must be kidnapped. Yeah. But then at the end when he decides he's in love, they're like, you know what? We're going to keep going in the three cars we've got going. You just run, homeboy. And then they meet at like a carnival gate. Yeah. And it's just this little- They dropped them both. The end was never ending. That reminder was this movie is trash.
[00:16:48] But I also want to say, like, I'm looking at- I mean, I could make a case that perfect setting might be better than it. But those other four movies, I think, are worse. I think it's probably where it belongs. I think so, too. Yeah, okay. I think it's just to the Reluctant Royal, our first Andrew Walker movie of the year. That's right. Andrew W. Walker. I think it's two. You think it's number two? I think it's two. I'm doing this. I think he crushes it in this movie. I think it's easily the best of those movies.
[00:17:17] I think it's better than Bob Buck and Lacey. I do. I don't think I'm there with you. I think it's better. I've got to have returned to office for sure. Well, God, yes. Yeah, right there, right? That's where I would have it. That's where I'd have it. We're not putting anything else up in real movie territory. No, we're not. No, why would we? It's a sacred zone. I think Reluctant Royal is closer to a real movie territory than Unexpected Valentine. See, I could maybe get on with that. I think we're thinking, and we have good feels, good vibes about Unexpected Valentine.
[00:17:47] Because we interviewed one Robert Earl Buckley. I understand that. From what I heard, that interview didn't go so great. Yeah, no, the reviews were in. It was super awkward. That movie is not nearly as fun as Reluctant Royal. Andrew, like Reluctant Royal, like there's fun to be had in Reluctant Royal. I just don't agree. I fundamentally disagree. I think the chemistry is better with Andrew Walker and what's her name than it is with those two. I don't agree with that. Oh, man. You know what? I'm willing to go to my deathbed on this one. Well, the problem is- I'm playing my deathbed court. You are?
[00:18:17] Already? He's playing his deathbed court on a Q1 ranking movie. We should make some cards that we get to play. But you're with Brandon on this, right? I think- Well- So if you are, it doesn't really matter. I don't know. I'm on the fence. So can I keep my deathbed court? No, tell him. Hold on. Sell him. You sell him, and I'll sell him. Well, listen. First of all- It's whoever talks last, so- Well, I just think the- Yeah, that's a good argument for Brandon. He's crushing this. Brandon, you got anything to ask?
[00:18:45] The unexpected Valentine was such a big swing, right? It was. A big swing. And I think, by and large, they connected on it. Is it a home run? No. No, but it's a pretty long fair ball. And if they hit it in Boston, that goes around- Oh, the pesky pole there. So think about the pole- Bouncing around those angles. Is Andrew Walker wonderful in this movie? Do they have good chemistry? Yes.
[00:19:12] But I just think what the unexpected Valentine did, a much higher bar to clear, and so I'm giving it the edge. Andrew Walker comedically is wonderful in this movie, better than he is in the Three Wiseman movie. The born-to-be-wild karaoke scene is great. This movie, The Reluctant Royal, also has the best kiss we've seen all year by a country monster. Love Shack, though. They danced to Love Shack. They did. Yeah, but they didn't see. They did. No, but they danced to Love Shack. But Andrew Walker and Amelia DeRaven from Lost, who needs to be in more of these movies-
[00:19:42] Talk about DeRaven. They have the best kiss of any of these movies. It's funny. It is a movie- But that's Andrew Walker. That's not fair. That's Walker for you. Andrew Walker's unfair when it comes to kissing. I didn't talk at all when you were doing your terrible job. Talking. This guy, all I'm saying- I let you terribly sell that movie- All I'm saying- The whole time without talking. All I'm saying- I didn't say a word. I didn't say a word. Some people- I didn't say a word. The whole time. No, no, no, no. You have this ability to remember everything you want to say. I don't have that ability. Well, that's not my problem. Extend on a little olive branch here.
[00:20:11] And I think you would agree, Andrew Walker's never had a bad kiss. Andrew Walker has been not funny before, though. And in this movie, he's funny. It lands. He does a great job being comedically on point in this movie. And it has the best kiss. And it takes a tired premise and makes it new again. And they flip those roles so incredibly well where he happens to be a royal. And she doesn't need him. I think all those things are great. I think Unexpected Valentine coasts on the fact that we love Lacey and we love Bob Buck.
[00:20:40] It does not have the bones. It does not have- No, it's got great bones. It does not have the integrity and the wherewithal of moviemaking of the Reluctant War. Listen, putting the bones in your mouth. If it matters, you guys can't see the chat comments right now. But the chat is very much on team brand. Of course they are because they love Robert Buckley. Guys, I don't want to tell you I'm the only one thinking with a clear head.
[00:21:10] We're not here. Bob and I are BFFs. But if we didn't interview Robert Buckley, this wouldn't even be close. We wouldn't be talking about this. Last time I checked the chat with Bob, I thought he was team brand as well. That's exactly right. Check the chat. Actually, last time I think he was team me, but he goes back and forth. One time he was team Aaron and it was great. If we don't interview him, none of us are doing this. I don't agree with that at all. Well, of course you don't. I'm telling you, if we didn't interview that guy, we're not having this conversation.
[00:21:39] That's an impossible argument to make. It is. And you know that. You're right. But I'm telling you, I'm the only one I feel like thinking clearly here. Because, I mean, you know me, I don't even like royal movies. Reluctant royal, like, borderline enjoyable as a movie. I like the movies better. It's just a better movie. No, they don't think the royal movie was better than... They don't think it. I don't... I know... I didn't even need to read the chat. I know what they're saying. Brian, give it to us. You've been in an awkward spot here. Yeah.
[00:22:06] I feel like Unexpected Valentine is up there. And I want it up there because I feel like it should be up there. Bob Buckley... No, like, I feel like obviously we're putting it there because that's where it belongs. It's up there and it should be up there. And I want it up there because it should be up there. We can put reluctant royal up there. We have a circle where it's like, it's up there. I want it up there. It should be up there. The thing with it, though, I feel like we're just...
[00:22:34] I feel like if it's up there, it's like we're doing it because that's where it should be. So that's the obvious choice. That's where it's going to be. But I... Which movie do you want ahead of the other one? I think the level-headed, clear-headed thing, the right choice is to move Unexpected Valentine down. Yes. And keep the royal movie up. I agree. Done and done. Right there. No. Yeah, just switch them. Down to a big fun. Yes, down to big fun. Maybe. No. Right there. Guys, we can... You can put it above it. Wait a minute, Brian. This is two to one. I know, but I'm just... That's how this works.
[00:23:04] Now I'm making the argument that I should still stay up. So three up top? This is a different argument. Okay. We've moved on from argument to argument. I got you. Earlier you said it's rarefied error. Yeah. But it still is. We can still have up to three. That's a car. We can still have up to three. You can have up to three. We can have up to three. As long as I know that in Q2 ranking, I can move it down. Yeah. I'm fine. You can. Okay. You can. Why don't we do this? But here's the thing, Bri. We still have the ability to do this two to one.
[00:23:32] We have to fill out another big fun, maybe six. And my problem is, is I'm looking down there, Brian. Yeah. And there ain't none of them. Yeah. So you've got to move unexpected Valentine down, in my opinion. I don't think you have. Oh, to keep the balance here? I think you can move polar opposites. You're moving polar opposites up. Yeah. I think so. Listen, I love polar opposites. I think you can put that on the right. I've made it pretty cool. Should we tone it down and take a break? Go to. Let's take a break. Let's take a break. Well, guys, we're getting ahead. We only have three moving movies to rank, but we're taking a break here. Deck the Hallmark. Deck the Hallmark.
[00:24:02] Hallmark. We're back. Yeah, sure. Can we rank these other three as it stands in this seat? Yeah, let's get them on the board, right? Because I am inclined to move unexpected Valentine down. You're inclined to move polar opposites up. Let's see where the other three go, because they're going to go in the bottom, and something's going to move up the ladder. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Mystery Island, not great. Probably bad, but bad, but bad, but. Right? Mystery Island is bad, but bad, but bad.
[00:24:30] But I think it's better than Hannah Swinson. I agree it's better than Hannah Swinson. I think it should be better than. Yeah, kick it up one more. The perfect setting. It was good. It was just a little confusing. I have it better than. I have it, but you can't. You got to do that one. Yeah, you got to move down. I have it better than Royal Weed. You got to move up, and I think. I do. I have it better than Royal Weed. I would make that switch. I kind of think that I might do that, too. The problem is something's going to end up there, and it's probably Royal Weed, because these two movies coming up are trash. They both got to end up. So this is a mess. That's why you move this up.
[00:25:01] It's going to have to. Polar opposites, get it up there. Even if we. Just wait. It's going to end up going up, but what I'm saying is. Okay. Go ahead. There's two of these movies left, and they both go in the bottom two categories. Two movies have to move, not just one. Royal-ish was my least favorite of the Royal movies. It's trash. It's a terrible movie. I would still probably have it. No, it's not above Westrop. I don't think it's as bad as those bottom two.
[00:25:30] I don't think so. I think it's either there, or I think it's one ahead. Yeah, I think it's in between Irish and Wish Swap. And now we're moving the GD Wish movie up a level. Oh, my goodness. Move it up. Now we've got to move Mystery Island up. Yeah. See, that doesn't feel bad. That feels great. Yeah. My problem comes here, because this next movie is the worst movie, in my opinion. We're still feeling the wrath. You really think so? I was not nearly as low. I would personally have it.
[00:25:59] Perfect settings moving up. This is trash. I would have it between Royal-ish and Wish Swap, personally. Royal-ish and Wish. Like here? Yeah, that's where I'd have it. The problem is, I'm fine with that, but it's got to go up. And then that means perfect settings got to go up. And that means polar opposites got to go up. Yes. Yeah. God. Hey, not bad, though. At first glance here.
[00:26:27] I mean, this is as good as it can get. Aside from- My only, like, wrestle- Like, there's something that kind of tugs at my anger button. Yeah. Usually you push, but tugs, yours is a pull. That's what I'm saying. God. Is it like an anger string? I hate we tugged your anger button. Oh, I know. We weren't trying. Believe us. Perfect setting is too high. But I don't really know what to do with it. There's nothing to do.
[00:26:57] Because it's- It doesn't matter. Those three movies in standard feels are an atrocity. Here's what I'll tell you is- Can we just redeem those categories? I want Unexpected Valentine down. Having said that, I'm fine waiting. Because it's- Listen- It's going to go down. I know that I have lost this battle, but it would make me feel better about the war. Here's my thing is, I'm fine with- Keep it there today. Whatever. Knowing that next time, it's probably- Although that's putting a lot of faith in the next three- Table movies.
[00:27:27] Table movies, yeah. It's not quarter two. It's after quarter three. We'll have 30 more movies. And all I need is for there to be four better than that one. And there will be. That movie's going to move down. So I'm fine with it being up right now. Okay. That's all I need. That's all I want. Yeah. Really, I think. Yeah, that's fine. I still just like- Is there- Gosh. The standard feels is as bad a standard feels as we've ever had. Do you think that there's any world based solely on premise-
[00:27:54] Non-execution premise that wish swap in perfect setting swap? Wish swap. Wish swap. No. God, no. I'm just asking. Testing the waters. I'm just putting my toe in it. The softball here, we could probably put Mystery Island ahead of Royalish though, right? What? It is ahead of Royalish. Royal Wee. I mean, what's Royal Wee? I'm sorry. My problem- Hey, Bri, if you want to put Mystery Island ahead of Royal Wee, I would do that to swap polar opposites and return to office.
[00:28:24] Oh, that's dirty. That is a dirty move. That's a scallion move. Let's see how it looks. You know what I mean? Should we see how it looks? Scallion. Rat scallion move. Rat scallion. Actually, it looks pretty good. It looks really good. You think so? I think it looks nice. I disagree with that as a whole, but apparently it doesn't matter what I think in this regard. I thought that Mystery Island was way too convoluted and confusing. It was. It's a mess of the movie. It's a mess of the movies. The eight movies on the other side of it. Go ahead and switch it back. Aaron, what are you doing?
[00:28:53] Those eight movies are- Mystery Island is not there because of how good it is. It's there because the other eight movies are unwatchable. I mean, the quality of the film just deserves the bump to the standard feels. The quality of let's just complicate things? Yeah. Of two murders and it having it like- It was just a little overthought. Yeah. A little. I think it's got a really nice house. I mean, if we're breaking these things on houses, give me that and then Jenna's-
[00:29:23] Yeah, Jenna's number two. Oh, we have a house ranking episode next week. Thanks. I mean, it is what it is. I liked it how it was. You can't get on our house ranks. But my anger button's already been pulled. Yeah, exactly. Tug it real good. Yeah. Well, I didn't tug it. You guys did. Sorry about that again. That's okay. Yeah, sorry. Well, you know where it is and you know how to find it. We colluded earlier. We're like, we're going to tug that button. Yeah, we're going to tug that button. Get that button out. You know how hard it is to put that thing back in? I don't want to talk about it. I know.
[00:29:52] It'll be back before Q2, right? Yeah. Before the next week. I hope so. Yeah, me too. Okay. Because we were playing that. I told you that thing real good next time. This is such a trash list. Oh, my goodness. I mean, it's as good as it can be, but it's trash list. Aaron, pull that mic nice on close to you and let everybody know the order in which the movies are. Get it real nice on close. Just for the record, I'm not okay with any anger buttons or I'm just feeling very uncomfortable in this office today. This is the nicest this office has looked in a long time. It is. It looks great.
[00:30:23] It's like the office looks nicer. And somehow you guys go worse. We finally got rid of the rug. We did. Which nobody can see. So we're starting with the bottom, bottom here? Yes. Okay. Bottom. So in Dumpster Fire, we have My Argentine Heart, Love of the Irish, Royalish.
[00:30:47] Moving up to Bad, B-B-Bad, Bad, Hearts Around the Table, Jenna's First Love, The Wish Swap, and Reality Bites, A Hannah Swenson Mystery. Standard Feels, The Perfect Setting, The Royal We, and Mystery Island, colon, Winner Takes All. Big Fun Maybe Six, Return to Office, and Polar Opposites.
[00:31:14] And up in real movie territory, an unexpected valentine, the reluctant royal, and Sisterhood, Inc. Yeah. Oh, we did it. Can you just refuse to not to recognize Mr. Island in that place? Like, we could leave it. You could just refuse to recognize him. Well, I don't have that ability. Oh, okay. Um, listen. You already played your deathbed card. I know. You sure did. Can't put that back. Which, how did that do for me? In retrospect, it was not... How'd that do for me? Yeah, you're dying. No one respects it. No one respects it.
[00:31:42] I've been holding onto it for how long now? Seven years? I've been holding on my deathbed card, and it did me no good. Yeah, nobody cared. Nobody cared. It was expired. It's expired. Just like the deathbed. Well, we did it, everybody. Come on back tomorrow. Yes. I think we got some more fun. Preview episodes galore. So, uh, is that a weird way to say it? Yeah. There's only one of them. Here, uh, Mary... Mary, can someone help me?
