Season's Greetings from Cherry Lane (Hallmark+ - 2024) ft. Ryan Pappolla

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I'm Brian and I love Hallmark plus Christmas movies. Hi, I'm Ryan and I don't want to lie to the audience. I'm Brian. I'm Dan and Brian is lying. This is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark is this podcast. Friends host this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Wow, so that's this time of the year, huh? I was gonna say lying and brand and then you

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_04]: He said lying and I'm like, do I still go with this or not? It happens, man. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's good to be here. We've got the first of three brand new Cherry Lane movies coming up today. So we're gonna break that down. But also very big news that we haven't gotten to talk to you about. Yeah, because it's been a few weeks since we talked about the unwrapping movies. Listen those, let me tell you. Remember those good times. But the way

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_04]: home is coming back in January. So we're excited. We're gonna get to hang out with you again quite soon, but has moved to Hallmark plus. So you are now the Hallmark plus guy. Apparently they did it because of me. Yeah, they heard about guys over there on the plus. They heard about your deck. The Hallmark beat and they said, oh, well, I got our hands are tied. It's not. Listen, I mean, I think we talked about this when it was still rumor and conjecture.

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Conjecture. Like, I just feel as though those things, if you can believe rumor and conjecture. I feel as though I think this is what we said that it was in the way home. We weren't in love with season two brand lied and said he was, but you know, it's still by far the best show they have going. And I don't know for me, maybe if linear is your focus, you keep the best thing you have going on linear.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I would think that all the olds that watch wind calls the heart and still love it would, that would be the way to get them to streaming. That would be, but clearly. And I will say this, Brandon, I watched the chicken sisters and I think on its best day, it's the chicken sisters is definitely better than season two of way home worse than season one. That's where I would have it. I think that's probably right. Um, so like Hallmark plus is where the cool kids are hanging out, but you'd think they want to get some, some different demographics.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Over there. I shouldn't have said all the olds, everybody. I'm sorry. Got away from me. It's been a long day. It's one 40 in the afternoon. Listen, I've been sick all week. We're recording eight podcasts today. Cause it's Christmas. We're traveling to New Jersey tomorrow. Hey, you know what, man? It sneaks out. Maybe you got sick on the front side of Christmas con this year instead of the back. You're doing it the right way. Yeah. Instead of not having a voice by the end of it every year, just like Bramble Fest. It's like,

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Ryan getting sick on planes. It's just going to happen. Yeah. I, I, I, I, with my, uh, my gastro in January. We're, we're, uh, we're, we're nipping that in the old bud. Yeah, you are. That's right. I was like, what are you going to actively do to get ahead of that mainlining Gaviscon? I don't know if I should talk about this on the air. Not the reality is I've probably had IBS my whole life and I probably just need to get that worked on. Is there something that planes do that really just did?

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm definitely a nervous flyer. I don't worry about the plane going down. I just like, I, my, my stomach is great. You worry about it staying up? Like what's the concern here? I, I, I, no, no. It's like, especially when we're traveling, Dan, this is why we've been booking travel for evenings. The last couple of trips I've done with y'all booking travel in the morning. I really worry about my schedule. You can fill in the blanks. You know what I'm talking about. And so I, at that point I get so tense that by the time I reach my destination,

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_04]: it takes me like days to recover, but, but, but, but, but you know, they got, they got some of the, the, they got some things up in the air. You can, no, let's get it out there. Let's get it out here on the record. You are against dropping a deuce on the toilet on the plane. I refuse to drop a deuce on a deuce on a toilet. Yes.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, on the plane. Yeah. No, I'm not, listen. No, I will say, yeah, they're, they're, they're encouraged. I will say that, you know, if the situation, here's what's happening. If the situation arises, I will do it. I so worry about the situation arising that I get so tense.

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_04]: But wouldn't you think, but, but wouldn't you think that then traveling, what's the worry?

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Guys, I go multiple times in the morning. All right. All right. I go multiple times.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's, that's fine. That's fine. It's fine. We're not mad at you.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_01]: In the morning, when, when, when my morning show used to be in the morning, when it was at 10 AM, those were treacherous.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Those were, cause I was like, what happens if I have to go at, what if I'm delivering the news and I have to go at 10 25 AM?

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I worry about these things. All right. And I don't appreciate being mocked for it.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not trying, I'm just trying to understand you. You're, you're mistaking.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to understand.

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We do love you and we, and we want the best for you ride, but you gave me so much ammunition there and I'm supposed to just be kind about it.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. Kindly.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Kindly.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_04]: This might, it is on your shirt.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04]: This might be too much and then we can dive into season's greetings, but are you, are you incapable of if you, when you realize what's getting ready to occur, you're unable to hold it in.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I know.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you worried if you hold it in, it's going to ruin your whole like system day?

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: No. Well, no. I mean, my system is good. So you guys have seen me on these events. Like my system is ruined anyway. Like if you look really closely on the VOD of Bramble Fest, at one point I go, Hey, Brian, you need me for the next five minutes.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I literally skedaddled out the side door. Like, I mean, like I'm, I, the first year was even worse. And then the marathon was a different level.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, we switched to the bathroom cam for that. So we did get a good look.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even joking. I got there for the marathon this year, Jackson. I had like a nice two hour conversation. Then we were like, was this being recorded? Like, like we, we didn't know what was going on.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: How serious is real world?

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But I will say this. I do hear you can get quite a good new stomach on eBay. If you, if you look, if you call me the eBay kid, the eBay kid, that's right.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Quick. How was Muppets live? And what the finger puppets think about it?

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: How are your fingers? Were they happy?

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, uh, we brought out Kermit after the intermission. Can you believe that 90 minute film? Not even. And they do an intermission.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: They did an, yeah, that movie's short and they did an intermission. And it's under 90 minutes.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Orchestras are soft these days. You used to be able to guarantee 90 straight out from them, but now they came.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like they all are Ryan on a plane.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you don't know what they have going on and know you're over there mocking them.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, for that reason, I respected it. I applauded at the intermission. No one understood what I was doing, but I thought it was great.

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You take care of what you need to take care of, Chellis.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it was, it was whimsical. It was magical. It was other words that end in L that I don't even know.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I got to go back to one other thing. You, you brought out Kermit not until after the intermission.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_02]: That's interesting.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_01]: That is.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I forgot he was in my fanny pack, if I'm being honest, you know.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You can bring fanny packs into that.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, let's not get distracted.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, sorry.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You forgot that Kermit the Frog.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Kermit the Frog.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You forgot he was in the fanny pack.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Would you have your two Fazzies and four Ralphs out there? You could, you couldn't get one Kermit out of the bag.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't, don't besmirch Ralph's name like that, Dano.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But no, it was great. I recommend, I, Dan, I think I texted you this. Like the orchestra was great, but I've never seen that film with a crowd laughing at the jokes with people was like that.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I hadn't even considered how cool it would be to see it with an audience. It was great.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw it on the big screen when it came out because I'm old. It is what it is. And you say that I'm ageist, but I'm the old one here. So.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Yeah. You are the old, all the old, all the old, all the old. I can't believe I said that.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_04]: But that are moving over to the hallmark class.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_04]: They're wonderful people. They're all the olds.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it is no secret that when calls the hearts ratings are high, but within the demographic of youngs, it is very low.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's a, it's an, it's a show that skews older. I shouldn't have said all the olds and I'm sorry.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: How about we just do a way home preview here instead of what we actually have to do?

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think? What are your big theories?

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: What did I call, what did I call the guy who we thought was Jacob? What was, what was the, uh, called him, uh, Larry or something?

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Roy?

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta refresh myself.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know anything. I know they're, I don't know. I don't know anything.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Remember when they, remember when they brought in Jacob and he wasn't kidding anymore?

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Season two wasn't very good.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So mad.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even want to talk about it.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's see what they do.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But do we have to talk about this?

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Bray was like, this is great.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I love it.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's back.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's back.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I gave you space.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's Bray.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It's back, baby.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: We're back, baby.

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We were back a couple of times.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: No, we weren't.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And then we were back gone again.

[00:08:59] We were back gone again.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, let's talk season's greetings from Cherry Lane.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_04]: It originally aired on Hallmark Plus on December 5th, 2024.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And it went a little something like this.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_04]: It's Christmas Eve, 2024.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And Mike from the one last year is stressed per usual.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_04]: His husband, Z, the calm one, is there to calm him down per usual.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Mike feels bad about not doing big Christmas decorations like his dad used to when he was growing up.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_04]: He also is stressed because he is going to surprise Z by flying his grandfather in for a visit that he never met before.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's a pretty big deal.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Cut back to 1951 because that's what these are.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_04]: And we meet a couple named Charlie and Joan.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_04]: They are fresh home from the hospital because Joan broke her arm.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It is a big Christmas for the two of them because Charlie, who is a doctor, is going to head over to Korea for Dr. War.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_04]: War doctor.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's going to be a war doctor.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_04]: He's going to be a war doctor.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_04]: In 2003, we see a postal worker.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_04]: My guest here is he might be a part of the dead letter office.

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Send me on my way.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Who is thrilled when a couple, Sarah and Luke, give him a Christmas card.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't do that a lot.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_04]: There's a...

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_04]: People do it all the time.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Not in 2003, people.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably more so then.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it was actually a really good time for the country.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Really patriotic and we all came together.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_04]: So anyway, they're a perfect couple.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_04]: They're a perfect couple and they never fight.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Never forget.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_04]: They might disagree.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_04]: They never disagree.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_04]: That is until Luke's family comes to stay for Christmas and brings a freaking massive wreath.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And then to make things more awkward, her family comes and brings whatever it is that they brought.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And so the families end up arguing about everything.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Wreath versus weird thing.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Angel versus star.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a mess out there.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_04]: That leads to Luke and Sarah having their first fight.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Baby's first fight.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Back in 1951, Charlie and Joan are blown away by the generosity of their neighbors after Charlie accidentally burns the turkey after getting locked out of the house.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_04]: He is going downstairs to write a Christmas card to his wife that he plans to mail her from war.

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_04]: The letter gets lost in the mail.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_04]: That is actually the card that Sarah and Luke received at the beginning of the movie.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: What?

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: This is like a secret sign still delivered.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_04]: This is sneaky.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_04]: But without all the charm and whimsy.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a dead letter.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Good music.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_04]: This brings them together and they realize what matters the most.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_04]: The postal service.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_04]: So back in 2024, Grandpa finally shows up after being lost most of the movie.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_04]: And Z is shocked.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Didn't know this was happening.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_04]: He begins to tell them about the family.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And he reveals that he wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for an American doctor named Charlie.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_04]: So thank goodness for Charlie.

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_04]: So that's nice.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_04]: They're all connected.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Everything wraps up real nice with a bow and we're happy and we're never going to do this again.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And that, my friends, was Christmas on Cherry Lane.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_04]: From Cherry Lane.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Season's greetings.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Number one.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's do this.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll come back.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll break this movie down with four segments.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I think we're going to do four segments.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_04]: I love that plan.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Good plan.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Deck the hallmark.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Brian, you ever walk into the store to get wine?

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe your wife sent you for some wine.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That happens to me from time to time.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And I look and I'm like, I couldn't be more overwhelmed.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm about to spend too much money for a wine that might be good.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Might be trash.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no way for me to know.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like I'm wasting my time.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm wasting my money.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm wasting my energy.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_02]: All I want to do is drink a bottle of wine.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I got good news, Dan.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_04]: All good over here.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Good.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't need a break?

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: You were good there?

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: The afternoon.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm all good.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Afternoon.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Smooth sailing.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But I just like, it's a tough life to be Ryan Popola.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_02]: If the mornings are that tough every day, buddy.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: No, you're right.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, I think like between middle, middle class trying to get 30 bucks back in

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_01]: my mornings, it's a, it's a tough existence.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like, you know, you put the Muppets and eBay and the city hive and all on yourself,

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: but the, the, the, the thing that you, you wake up in the morning and you don't feel

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_02]: comfortable till afternoon.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That's brutal, dude.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's by, it's by mid 10 o'clock.

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, mid 10, mid 10, mid 10, mid 10, let's talk seasons.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: All the CBS.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's talk seasons.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Greetings.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Cherry.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Should also be on Hallmark plus.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, Brian, you hadn't seen Cherryland from last year.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: No, haven't.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Didn't do my homework.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Glad I didn't.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh no.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Professor Thompson didn't do my homework.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh no.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_04]: That's Mr. Thompson to you, sir.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's let's dive into it then.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_04]: What'd you think about your first venture into the sea, the, the Cherry Lane cinematic

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_04]: universe?

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I'm glad that we were just talking about way home season two.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause I think we all agreed.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't great.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I covered ride with you all.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I think we all agreed pretty bad.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to say unequivocally this 2003 storyline is the worst thing I've ever covered for this.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It is really bad.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It's one of the worst things I've ever seen in the made for TV Christmas, Christmas genre

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: ever.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It was awful.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It was awful.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I, at one point when it started probably right around the time of the letter, 2003 was a

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_01]: big year for letters.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, like I, I was writing a note and so I looked down real quick and by the time I looked

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: back up, they were doing the, uh, the deal where they're like, we never fight.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Our parents love each other.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And I thought it was like Joe Schmo.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought I had missed something and that they were doing a self parody.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to be rude to these actors.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure they're nice people.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_01]: They're working hard.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the performances were bad.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The writing was bad.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That 2003 storyline was really, really, really, really bad.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_01]: With that said, the, uh, the, the one from the 1950s was whatever.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's what I expect from a film like this.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It was forgettable.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The Jonathan Bennett stuff I thought was pretty fun.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that it was a noticeable step up from the other two storylines.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the couple that's from the original one.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So this, yeah.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's that.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And I thought Jonathan Bennett particularly was very fun in this film.

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: There was actually a few moments that like, I don't want to say made me laugh, but came

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: close to it.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to give it that credit.

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, uh, but yeah, I was, listen, I've seen in my own time, not for, you know, podcast

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: where I'm being compensated to go on electronic Bay.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I have seen some really bad, really bad made for TV Christmas movies.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I own some of them on physical media.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: This is as there's a fine line between so bad.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It's good.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And just really bad.

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: This obliterated that line.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It was awful.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I hope to never see it again, Brent.

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

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

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That's fair.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a fair take.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, that's the guy that likes these movies.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: We're at a pole.

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, he's got some points.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And this was, uh, this movie was, uh, I was consorned.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_04]: If you remember, if you go back to the previous shows, I was consorned about doing this,

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_04]: not, not one time, but three times because it's three, six, nine.

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_04]: If you think about it in that sense, it's just a lot, uh, a lot of different things.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And so there's no way they can do it all, do it all well.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And, uh, unfortunately it was, it was true.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I was right.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, they didn't do it all well.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And so that's a bummer.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I think we can all agree.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_04]: The highlights here are the Jonathan Bennett's world and the low lights is 2003.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_04]: 2003 was a tough slime.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I just didn't care for it.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And every time we were in 2003, I wish that we weren't.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_04]: And unfortunately I feel like we spent the most time in 2003.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it did.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And I just don't really, I don't really know why.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And so that was confusing.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and then at one point during this movie, Dan and I had the realization, like in the

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_04]: first one, they're going to have it all connect in some way, shape or form.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_04]: And I felt like they also had that realization halfway through the movie because it was so

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_04]: unnecessary.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_04]: The way that these, I will say the way, the thing that Cherry Lane one, 2023 did well was

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_04]: that I felt like the way that the stories were connected made sense.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And it felt thought thought out.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_04]: This just felt thrown together.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And I didn't, I didn't care for that.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_04]: So unfortunately it was a miss for me, but we got two more.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_04]: We got two more.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody get up.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Baby.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_04]: In the words of not Taylor Swift, let's freaking go.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's freaking go.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to be back.

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, Dano.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Give me all three Dan Bays and two unwrapping Christmases over this movie.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's not even close.

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I will take two of the four unwrapping Christmas movies over this movie.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And I gotta be honest.

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: The other two has kind of a push.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, this movie's bad guys.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a bad movie.

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_02]: The first Cherry Lane had two really solid storylines and one that wasn't any good.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_02]: This movie has two storylines that are immeasurably bad and one that is just standard bad.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it is, there is not an end in sight.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no light at the end of the tunnel.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just bad.

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It also commits some pretty big cardinal sins for movies in general that drive me nuts.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_02]: One Cherry Lane is the most diverse street in all of 1951 in the United States of America.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Bothered me to no end, but not as much as my least favorite trope, maybe in movie history,

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_02]: the white savior movie or the thank God for white people movie where all of this for all of this diverse cast of characters

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_02]: only happened because of one good white dude who went to fight for his country.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Amen.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_02]: That was, and it was just unnecessary.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So if the movie was good, if you make a good movie and you have those two things like a holiday spectacular

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: decided in the 1950s, the Rockettes were just going to be integrated.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I had a problem with it, but I got over it because the movie has some quality to it.

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Some good writing, some good direction.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You can get past those things if you make a good movie.

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: If you do those two things and then make a bad movie in 1951, a bad, a slightly above bad movie in 2024,

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and an absolutely I cannot believe I'm watching this purgatory movie in 2003, you don't get a pass.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a terrible movie.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_02]: The unwrapping Christmas movies bring more joy than this movie ever thought it could bring.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_02]: All three movies on the Danube River right now.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll take them right now.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I was bored to tears.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It sucked.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Bran, back to you.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, Dan.

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Bran.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: How about freeze-dried Skittles?

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: These burn a little.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Have you heard about this?

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: The sours.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You heard about this?

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_04]: They're freeze-dried Skittles?

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_04]: No, they're freeze-dried.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, they come that way.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't buy a freeze-dryer.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Although we're thinking about it.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Although we are kicking around the old.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at these.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Can you see those?

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: They're like.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at that.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_04]: They're wild.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_04]: It's good for podcasting.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's get to all the feels where we're talking about one of this movie gave us feels.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Bran?

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Bran, I feel as though this may be yours.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: The Jonathan Bennett storyline, the overall crux of it, really reminded me of the Hey Arnold Christmas

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_01]: special.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Well done.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Good poll.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, this movie was so bad.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It was just nice to think about the Hey Arnold Christmas special every few minutes.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what?

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll take that.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll take that.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I love Hey Arnold.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I love the Hey Arnold.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da-da.

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm on delay.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-da.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Ba-da-ba-da.

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Arnold.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Ba-da-ba-da.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Move it, football head.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey Arnold.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's mine too.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Dan?

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's my turn already.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey Arnold.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Sour Skittles pop.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You can buy them in Target.

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

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm on board.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I was originally not on board.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I've come full circle.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_04]: They're a fascinating experience.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I've never had a candy that has made me think more than the Skittles.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And Bran thinks about candy.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I think about it a lot.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Almost all the time.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be one of our better episodes.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll come back.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk about this movie some more or not.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I got it again.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_04]: What the?

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Welcome back everybody.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_04]: We're talking about Season's Greetings from Cherry Lane.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_04]: The worst thing they did was try to give these all a different name.

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Like next week's is like Happy Holidays.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Is any of them Merry Christmas?

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_04]: See, this is what I'm talking about.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Deck the Halls.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This is what I'm talking about.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Aaron, you saw the chat.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like people in the Double Decker group were higher on this movie than we were.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Aren't they?

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I have no idea.

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_00]: There wasn't a movie thread for this one because it aired.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I thought so.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_00]: That was a good call.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That was a good call.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_00]: No, the only thing I saw was that people like, I just want to know if Charlie makes it home

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: from war.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the only thing I care about.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I've looked ahead to the storylines that are coming in the other two movies.

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_00]: The only thing I care about in all six of these Cherry Lane movies is, did Charlie make

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_00]: it back?

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, maybe we'll find out.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we won't.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to watch two more movies to find out.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I could not.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's get to the way.

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_04]: What's this?

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_04]: We're talking about what is who made us go?

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Wait, what?

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks, Hallmark Daddy.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I almost feel like this is giving.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Weird when you say it.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_04]: You're welcome, son.

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I almost feel like this is giving the film too much dignity.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: It is.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But the fact that this 2003 couple didn't talk about the Christmas Eve menu beforehand.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta be effing kidding me.

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: There's just no way.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And like, I only have a couple.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you could have had any number of Weight Watch for this film, right?

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, honestly, mine are like practical.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It's almost because I feel like I cared so little that I wasn't looking with the inquisitive

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_01]: eye that I typically would.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_01]: But the fact that this is the premise and the next one would be like how like they're

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Viking season ticket holders and they're not even going to think about turning the game

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_01]: on when they get.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me?

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: They are.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They're Viking season ticket holders and they have a conversation in this movie that is

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_02]: the dumbest thing I've ever heard on Hallmark.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody says, what about football?

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And somebody goes, I could go for football.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe there's a game on.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And then another person who holds season tickets to the Vikings says something to the effect

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: of, I like a good game on occasion.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_02]: If you hold season tickets to the Vikings, you are screaming skull with your giant horn hat

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_02]: on.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You're not like, I could go for a game on occasion.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Get out of here.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Also, you're just independently wealthy if you're season ticket holders.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And then last one, still in this 2003 storyline.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01]: The fact that at no point I was so mad by the end of this movie.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I was so mad.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I just, I, I, again, I can't stress enough how bad I thought this 2003 thing was.

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_01]: The fact that at no point they just go, yeah, why don't we hang the big wreath and the stupid

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_01]: reindeer thing in two separate locations?

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I was irrationally angry.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Stupid brand.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And with that, I'll kick it to you.

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I have a few as well.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_04]: How do you even have this conversation?

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Competition in 2003 where they do the ribbon down.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I know they show you, but it still is ultimately.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So they, they have different ideas of how you should decorate a Christmas tree.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_04]: So they do it down the middle and then they're like, we'll see which one wins.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's like, how?

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Cause like everybody, it's still based on like preference and like if you like it or not.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So I just don't really think it accomplishes what they, what they hoped for.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, one of my favorite moments that happened in this movie was, uh, Z walking into the

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_04]: kitchen and saying guilty and Jonathan Bennett turning around and be like, I didn't do anything.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and he's like, I don't like, what are you talking about?

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I was just, uh, walking in cause I, cause I feel, I feel bad because you aren't, uh, working

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_04]: today, but you still had to cook.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Who does that?

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Who walks in and just goes guilty with, with no, like not, no conversation ahead of time.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_04]: No, nothing.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It is a wild thing to go in and just say, I'm guilty and, uh, expect that anybody else is

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_04]: going to pick up on what you're talking about.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, but guilty.

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, our guy, Julian, who has wine and stuff, um, is going to help the folks in the fifties

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_04]: get back into their house to do that.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_04]: He is going to use a bottle opener, but before getting into the house, which is, uh, almost

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_04]: on fire, he says, you never know when you might need a bottle opener.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe save the, and this coming from me, but maybe save the bits for later.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe save the bits until after you save the day.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And you can be like, you never know when you might need a bottle opener to do, to get,

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_04]: show up at the door and be like, wait one second.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You never know when you might need it.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_04]: You could have been in, you could have saved the day.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's the difference between fire or no fire is, is, could be seconds, Dan.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Second.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's why every house needs a working fire extinguisher.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Smoke detector.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Things that weren't really around in the fifties.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, what, what is it?

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_04]: What's the line in the Santa Claus?

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_05]: What?

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_04]: What's the, what's the line in the Santa Claus about the fire, fire extinguisher?

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, what is it?

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_04]: You nailed it.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I did.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04]: You nailed it.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And the smoke flames are really big, Dan.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's an American institution.

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly right.

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_02]: We should know they got a hot apple pie.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: We did.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Go ahead.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Listen, I know the whole bit is Jeff Gustafson is in sign.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So delivered and he's a postal worker delivering a dead letter in this movie.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's cute and fun.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen a postal worker stay longer at one residence than this human being.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Like the thing about, I worked for UPS.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_02]: The thing about postal workers and parcel deliveries, they're in a hurry.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Like their whole thing is they're delivering the mail and they have to get it all done.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Today.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Like there's more mail tomorrow.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: If Jeff Gustafson is going to have a full conversation with a Christmas card at every

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: house, he's not getting done.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He just isn't finishing.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And I just, every time I see a postal worker working one of these movies, I want them to

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: walk with purpose and like continue doing their job because that's what postal workers do.

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_02]: They work really, really hard.

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And this was crazy.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, this guy, uh, which what's the guy's name that's helping Jonathan Bennett and his husband

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_02]: in 20, I don't know with the beard.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_02]: He comes over to the house with a green bean casserole and says, I brought you a green

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: bean casserole.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not good.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not good.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not good at cooking, but buddy, nobody asked you like, can you imagine going to somebody's

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_02]: house and being like, I felt like I had to bring something.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So what I did was I made you a really bad dish of food.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it is bad.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't cook.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I don't cook, but I thought I would for you.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I, I just don't get that.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Bring them a nice bottle of wine, bring them literally anything else.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Green bean casserole, the best green bean casserole, probably still dicey for some people.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not a food that like dicey for me.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You just think about a bad green bean casserole.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, why are you like, dude, nobody asked you, nobody asked you to bring anything.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, well, I don't cook.

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So I thought I'd home make you something that sucks.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's, that's not good.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, the, uh, I wrote down, you can play one more than one song on the piano.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, the fact that they're arguing about wreath or star or which way to decorate a tree or Vikings

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_02]: or Seahawks, all of that is terrible, but nothing is as bad as which Christmas carol do we play

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: on the piano because you can play both.

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have to play one song.

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_02]: They can play as many, you sing around the piano.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody gets to choose.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody has to give here.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: What in the 2003 is happening?

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_04]: The keyboard only has a one good song left in it and that's going to short out.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They're trying to get, the kids are trying to sell the parents on silent night.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's a used Ford Fiesta.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, what are we doing?

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It's silent night.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Who doesn't like silent night?

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: The piano is like, I'm not as good as I once was, but I can be as good once as I ever was.

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Toby Keith shout out a lot of 2003 references today.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Really, really good stuff.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I, I'd also like, you know, the, the piano was kind of the, the headliner for me, but somebody

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_02]: briefly says in 2024 that they have a movie theater at the airport.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And I wish that I made sure the context was correct, but there is someone that's saying

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_02]: in the airport, right?

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_02]: God, can you imagine in the airport and a cinema in that the best idea?

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine, especially if it was AMC or regal for us.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the unlimited.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, forget it.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But then you're missing flights.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_02]: You're missing flights.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Would you be more relaxed for your stomach traveling?

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: If you had a movie.

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it depends on time of day.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And also though, I mean like that would be the way to get us three bozos to the, uh,

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_01]: to the airport hours early.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not missing a flight.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_04]: If I can get there four hours early, I can't emphasize this.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_04]: But if it's the morning.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing.

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_02]: My hands are tired.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Movie or no.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: My, my intestines are tired from, from, uh, from, from 6 AM to 10 30.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, if it's gladiator two before 11 AM, just, I mean, I can't do it.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean like my thing is, is, you know, they're serving beer at that theater.

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the airport.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and I do much for you, right guy, but I mean a 10 AM draft draft beer and a movie

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: shark tank idea.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Should we actually do this?

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fantastic.

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And then last but not least the whole point of when you get married or you decide to cohabitate

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: with somebody and live together, the whole thing is getting to establish your own traditions.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's the whole, it's the whole ballgame.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the whole ballgame to Corinthians.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And so the fact that these parents are coming over and the, and saying we're going to do

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_02]: it the way we've always done it.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: The fact that you're here and not at your house should be your first clue that you're not going

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_02]: to do it that way.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Like this should not, all the parents should shut up and the kids should just decide what

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_02]: their traditions are and to see if the parents want to be a part of it.

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And that is, that was mind boggling to me.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It's time for what the hallmark.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, hi Aaron.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Can I just mention a wait, what that I didn't have a watching it, but when I saw you guys

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_00]: watching it today, Dan made a good point.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Charlie is overseas serving as a doctor in Korea.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Korea, the Korean war, 1950, 53.

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Lolo was raised like he was living in the Philippines.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And then the family, like Zeon's parents leave the Philippines and go to China, which is where

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_00]: he was adopted from.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But how did grandpa end up in Korea to have surgery from Charlie?

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_02]: If they ended up in China, I know how.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_02]: In the Korean war, the Chinese flooded North Korea to help fight against the UN, the US

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: and South Korea.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So if he was a soldier in China.

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I thought grandpa stayed in the Philippines.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Because that was a big one for me.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I just didn't know how to broach on the show, but I thought you did very like articulated

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_02]: it wonderfully.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, he went to Korea.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That dude's Filipino.

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_02]: How did he save his life?

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a fair question.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_00]: But I guess if grandpa went with the couple to China.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_02]: If grandpa was in China, then it works.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And that makes more sense.

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the Inchun Peninsula.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the battle.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the worst.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So thank goodness you're a history teacher.

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we solved that.

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought I did.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_02]: If they're in, like, I didn't have it figured out, but then you said China.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, maybe that's not.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_02]: This is why we do this.

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_02]: This is why we do this.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_02]: We got to work through it.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll have to watch the other two to find out for sure.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I have a feeling we're not going to hear anymore about these families.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I also have a feeling that this is the best of them.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_02]: There's one with a really good cast.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: One has Benjamin Ayers.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a really good cast at the end.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like loaded.

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like a really, really.

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It's loaded.

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It's loaded.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's get to the what the hallmarks, where we talk about things that we're still wondering.

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, we do got two sequels to go.

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_04]: So maybe some of these will be answered.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe not.

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Who can say?

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_04]: But what do you got, Ry?

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, to that point, like, what would it take for us to just abandon ship now?

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what would you guys be looking for?

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, we can go to the mystery show.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We can go to holidays.

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what are you looking for?

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You're pitching the right person.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And I will say, we've never, the problem is, Ry.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_02]: We've never abandoned ship.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: For all the money in the world, I don't want to watch another second of these.

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_02]: However, Deck the Hallmark has never been in existence and not covered all of the hallmark Christmas movies.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And so we're at an impasse.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_02]: If this was a Dan Bay situation, we'd have moved on.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I get the feeling we'd have probably been like, we don't need to do this anymore.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we've got, I think we get it.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think we've got to watch the next two, Ry.

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Our hands are tied.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we've got two.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Our hands are tied.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought I'd ask.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_01]: That's fair.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a fair question.

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's fair.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Just Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane.

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_02]: John Brotherton, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Chelsea Hobbs, Sam Page, Aaron Cahill, Brooke Dorsey.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Directed by Allie Liebert.

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You say Sam Page.

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I did say Sam Page.

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So that does stand a little.

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Sam Page back?

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Is he back?

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_04]: My guy Sam Page?

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Is he back?

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, man.

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_04]: What's up with 2003?

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think that the, I don't, listen, I hope that this couple learned a valuable lesson

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_04]: about having hard conversations and communication and whatnot.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_04]: But I, I worry about them and, uh, you know, they make it.

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I just, I just hope they're not sorry for 2004.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Am I right?

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, dude.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, well that's, we'll save it.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll save it.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Ruben.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Dan?

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah.

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I think earlier producer Aaron Shea said she wondered if Charlie got back from war and

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I, that has been just sticking in my noodle.

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I just can't get, that's all I've been thinking about since I watched this movie.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You're so concerned about him.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I just am like.

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You're so concerned about him.

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_02]: God, I hope he makes it.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Did he make it?

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But did he make it back?

[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Or did he sacrifice his life to save that other guy?

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And to save Cherry Lane.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And I also will say this.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_02]: If, if the grandfather was in China, then he was fighting against Charlie in that war.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So that means Charlie did surgery on an enemy from North Korea via China, which.

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_02]: What a good guy.

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_02]: What a guy.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_01]: That's next year's prequel.

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Sheesh.

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Surgery from Cherry Lane.

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_02]: He does come back and then he gets it.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_02]: He wins a chocolate factory from 100.

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_04]: He does.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That's actually how it all starts.

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It all starts.

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, I will say this.

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Can we just talk about the God wink that is Charlie in 1951 living at 7 Cherry Lane?

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And what is that?

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_04]: How long is it?

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_02]: To 73 years.

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_04]: 73 years later, the grandson of the guy that Charlie saved from the enemy at war lives in his house.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_04]: God.

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_04]: God.

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_04]: That's better than that.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_04]: That's God.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_04]: God.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_04]: God.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_04]: God winks.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Like we can't.

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Both eyes on that one.

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_04]: God whipped an eye patch out.

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Even the God wink movies are like, we could never.

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_04]: We could never in our wildest dreams come up with something like this.

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Kathy Gifford fell over when she saw that.

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you catch the lesser God wink of Jonathan's father being so in love with this decoration that he started doing it at their house, but Jonathan could never remember what house he saw it was.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's the wreath from the 2003 family.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So the whole present that like Jonathan's husband and daughter are doing where they're putting the cards on the wreath.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the tradition that the 2003 family started.

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And now we're all back here at 7 Cherry Lane.

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I actually have a what's a hallmark.

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Now that we're here, we're doing it.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't care about Charlie.

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_02]: What is this?

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't actually care about Charlie.

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_02]: A 12 minute episode.

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: We got two more of these movies and we're going to introduce a minimum of four more families.

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So we have the three original families and then three new movies that introduce two new families each.

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So that six plus three is nine.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_02]: From 1951 to 2024, there are nine families live in this house.

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I think they change houses.

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's on different houses on the street.

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's all seven.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all of them are seven Cherry Lane.

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yikes.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you sure, Aaron?

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_00]: The three in the original are all seven and the three from this movie are all seven.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_00]: They zoom in on the mailbox so often.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_00]: And then Daisy's always coming over like.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan, is there something that you know that we don't know?

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Have you watched the other ones?

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't confirm or deny, but I think.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I think.

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a is he at the North Pole situation all over again is all this is.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what this is.

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think.

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I think at least one of them is in a different house.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_02]: If you have already seen another one of these movies and you're still this low on this one,

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I am so depressed right now.

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, you're not even scary thing.

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Here was.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: They're not out yet.

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I did.

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're not out.

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_01]: They're not.

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_01]: They're not out yet.

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I know what the hallmark was.

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like, what if we stop?

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I was actually worried that you'd be like, yeah, great idea.

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's do something else.

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we did it, everybody.

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Congratulations to us.

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And we're going to do this again next time.

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It can't all be hits.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It was unbelievable.

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But I haven't told you that.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys came to Connecticut, though, on Thursday, right?

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_04]: So I haven't told you this.

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Ryan's been doing the hard pitch to me to come to Connecticut on Thursday.

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And you didn't have the heart to tell him we have plans?

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I did have the heart to tell him to come to Philadelphia.

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, come to Philadelphia.

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_02]: That's where we're going.

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not leaving for Philadelphia from New Jersey until like 730 at night.

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you really just going to get a cheese?

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this already happened, but did you really just get a cheesesteak and come back?

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a $150 cheesesteak.

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not a cheesesteak.

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Put some respect on it.
