The Christmas Charade (Hallmark Channel - 2024)

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Brian. I'm Dan. I'm Dan. I'm the Hallmark Christmas.

[00:00:16] Oh! Yours is half gone!

[00:00:20] We've been in a fun toast this podcast.

[00:00:23] This is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.

[00:00:28] Nothing sacred.

[00:00:31] Oh man.

[00:00:32] Wow!

[00:00:35] I guess.

[00:00:37] It's spooky.

[00:00:38] Yeah, it sure is.

[00:00:39] It's spooky.

[00:00:40] That hurt.

[00:00:41] Got what you deserve, right?

[00:00:42] I think it's pretty clear for everybody that's watching Philo what the theme is.

[00:00:49] The theme is aviator sunglasses and Brian didn't get them in there.

[00:00:55] Aw, you guys didn't tell me about the sunglasses.

[00:00:58] Embarrassing for you.

[00:00:58] This is so... I didn't wear glasses though.

[00:01:00] Yeah.

[00:01:01] That was new for you today.

[00:01:02] Halfway there.

[00:01:03] Happy Halloween, everybody!

[00:01:04] Happy Halloween.

[00:01:06] I hope you're doing well on this spooky day.

[00:01:08] It's so spooky.

[00:01:09] So spooky.

[00:01:10] It's almost 80 degrees here in spooky.

[00:01:12] Yeah, that green bill.

[00:01:13] That's the spookiness of it.

[00:01:15] Do you want to know what happened to me on the way in?

[00:01:17] It was so scary.

[00:01:18] You crashed into a tree.

[00:01:20] I would love to, Brian.

[00:01:22] I was driving in.

[00:01:25] Okay.

[00:01:25] Okay?

[00:01:26] And all of a sudden...

[00:01:28] You like this?

[00:01:28] You know those big things that you love in?

[00:01:30] Are you coming right now?

[00:01:31] Oh my gosh!

[00:01:34] That is how I bebop around.

[00:01:36] So I'm driving...

[00:01:37] Are you wishing you a Merry Christmas?

[00:01:39] Are you wishing you a honk?

[00:01:40] Honk honk!

[00:01:41] You guys, when someone does cut in front of me, I do have to honk honk.

[00:01:45] You know those big skeletons that people have in their yard?

[00:01:47] Spooky scary skeletons?

[00:01:49] Yeah.

[00:01:49] Yeah, they're really big.

[00:01:50] They're like 10,000 feet tall.

[00:01:52] Where do you put those things?

[00:01:52] They're not a thousand feet tall, but yes.

[00:01:53] I was driving.

[00:01:55] One of them fell on my car.

[00:01:57] This is a great setup.

[00:01:57] Okay?

[00:01:58] One of them fell on my car.

[00:01:59] What does Dan know about Oreo cookie day?

[00:02:03] No.

[00:02:03] Is this take the day off and I didn't know it?

[00:02:05] No, no, no.

[00:02:05] Toss it!

[00:02:07] Yes.

[00:02:08] So I had to stop because it's crushing my car.

[00:02:12] I take the skeleton, I begin to move it and put it back into the lawn.

[00:02:15] The air filled thing is crushing your car?

[00:02:17] Yes.

[00:02:18] No, no, no.

[00:02:19] It's hard.

[00:02:20] Oh, the hard skeletons.

[00:02:21] The bone ones.

[00:02:22] So the bones are heavy, goes through the windshield, the whole thing.

[00:02:26] And I'm moving it back to the lawn where it came from and I begin to hear the bones talk to me.

[00:02:33] Yeah.

[00:02:34] And I didn't know that they made sound, first of all.

[00:02:36] That was news to me.

[00:02:37] But they're saying things like, Happy Halloween.

[00:02:39] I don't know.

[00:02:41] So funny.

[00:02:42] So funny.

[00:02:43] Stuff like that.

[00:02:44] And then they said, how was your weekend?

[00:02:46] Yeah, they did.

[00:02:47] Which was really weird.

[00:02:49] Because it's Thursday.

[00:02:50] I had lost the thread of that story.

[00:02:52] It's Thursday.

[00:02:52] And you asked, how was your weekend on Thursday?

[00:02:55] Yeah, so I guess I'll extend the courtesy to you guys and ask how your weekend was.

[00:03:00] I made the best smash burger I've ever eaten in my life.

[00:03:02] Really?

[00:03:02] Yes.

[00:03:03] What made it so good?

[00:03:04] So I did bacon and then I cooked it in the bacon fat.

[00:03:07] Wow.

[00:03:07] Yeah.

[00:03:08] Didn't hurt.

[00:03:10] It was delicious.

[00:03:11] You chop onions in there?

[00:03:12] Yeah, yeah.

[00:03:13] Saute onions.

[00:03:14] 45 minutes.

[00:03:15] Low and slow.

[00:03:16] Get the onions ready.

[00:03:18] Yeah.

[00:03:18] You sear it.

[00:03:19] You do the onion side down then and cheese on top.

[00:03:22] Right on the bun there.

[00:03:22] The buns toasted with some butter on the flat top.

[00:03:26] Mm-hmm.

[00:03:26] And then you cooked it in the bacon fat.

[00:03:28] And it was perfection.

[00:03:30] It was the best one I'd ever eaten.

[00:03:31] Brad, take that back to the skeleton bones.

[00:03:33] Let them know about the burger.

[00:03:34] I'll let the skeleton nose nose that.

[00:03:36] I'll let skeleton nose nose that.

[00:03:37] Let the bones go right to the nose.

[00:03:38] Yeah.

[00:03:39] The other thing that skeleton bones told me, and this was surprising to me as well, skeleton

[00:03:43] bones let me know how much fun they've been having playing Christmas movie magic.

[00:03:48] Did you guys go to their weekend or was it just me?

[00:03:50] It was just you.

[00:03:50] Okay.

[00:03:51] No one, I was surprised to find out that the skeleton got the game because I would assume

[00:03:56] skeleton no play.

[00:03:57] No pockets.

[00:03:58] Where's he putting those things?

[00:03:59] A skeleton.

[00:04:00] That's right.

[00:04:00] But skeleton does play and skeleton's about how amazing Christmas movie magic is and how

[00:04:04] you can actually play Christmas movie magic, not just with Christmas movies if you play

[00:04:08] your cards correctly, if you pick a one.

[00:04:10] Yeah, it's really good.

[00:04:10] And so it's a lot of fun.

[00:04:13] And I know, you know, it's October 31st.

[00:04:14] So you're probably winding down with your holiday.

[00:04:17] I'm sorry, with your Halloween movies.

[00:04:21] But you can for next Halloween.

[00:04:23] You could play this game as well and just get rid of some of those festive cards.

[00:04:27] But nonstop Christmas movies to the end of the year on Philo means perfect time for you

[00:04:30] to play Christmas movie magic is a ton of fun.

[00:04:33] Deck the home art dot com slash game.

[00:04:34] We're really excited about this game in case you can't tell.

[00:04:37] So please pick yourself up a coffee, a copy, a copy, a copy of the game, copy of the game

[00:04:43] and then you can play it all night.

[00:04:44] So energized.

[00:04:45] So it's going to be a lot of fun.

[00:04:46] Christmas movie magic.

[00:04:47] Billion's champion.

[00:04:48] How was your weekend?

[00:04:49] Yeah, it was great.

[00:04:50] I heard all about Dan Smashburger.

[00:04:51] It's hard to compete with that.

[00:04:53] That is tough.

[00:04:53] Now it's on my mind.

[00:04:54] That is tough.

[00:04:54] Yeah, this stuff.

[00:04:55] And I just want to say this.

[00:04:56] Just secure your Halloween decorations when you have those giant boys.

[00:04:59] And I know like PSA.

[00:05:00] It's a little PSA.

[00:05:01] I know it's October 31st and you guys are probably going to be taking them down.

[00:05:05] But, you know, it's kind of messed up.

[00:05:07] And I didn't talk to the owner at all.

[00:05:09] You know, I just put it right back aggressively.

[00:05:11] Put it back right where it was.

[00:05:12] I put it back.

[00:05:13] No, I put it back.

[00:05:14] You put back the talking 1000 foot skeleton decoration.

[00:05:16] Yes.

[00:05:17] You took it out your ladder.

[00:05:18] It was Halloween.

[00:05:19] It's a big day.

[00:05:21] That's literally the big day for the Halloween decorations.

[00:05:23] They owe you one.

[00:05:24] They do owe me one.

[00:05:25] Looking at you, looking at you, Sanders.

[00:05:27] You do owe me one.

[00:05:29] Sanders.

[00:05:30] Let's get to the Christmas charade, shall we?

[00:05:33] Charade.

[00:05:35] The Christmas charade.

[00:05:36] Originally aired on October 26th, 2024 on the Hallmark Channel and it went a little something

[00:05:40] like this.

[00:05:41] The movie kicks off with a mysterious situation.

[00:05:44] A blonde woman is delivering a box containing Santa and a microchip.

[00:05:51] They flee together and we discover that this is actually just a TV show that a woman named Whitney is watching while she's eating her cereal in her pajamas, just like me on a Saturday morning or literally any time.

[00:06:06] Her co-worker, Rachel, is trying to set Whitney up on a date because she thinks that Whitney watches too much TV, which is a bold statement for a movie to make, especially in a movie on a network where they start playing 24-7 Christmas movies two weeks before Christmas.

[00:06:20] We then meet real life secret agent, Josh Dawson, who works for a detective agency and has been undercover for six months with no results.

[00:06:38] His boss tells him that he's shutting down the operation, but Josh explains that he wants to stop a heist involving a necklace called the Heart of Christmas set to be displayed at a Christmas ball on Christmas Eve.

[00:07:03] His boss agrees to give him one more chance, but only if he has a partner.

[00:07:08] So Agent Kiera Tanner is assigned to go undercover as Dawson's girlfriend.

[00:07:14] Dawson, wearing a green sweater, agrees to meet with Kiera to discuss the case.

[00:07:19] However, Whitney, who was supposed to be on a blind date with somebody in a green sweater at that same restaurant, sits down with Agent Dawson.

[00:07:29] He jumps right into discussing the case, and Whitney is bewildered at what is going on.

[00:07:35] He quickly realizes that she's not who he is supposed to be meeting, but it's too late.

[00:07:41] They are expected to have dinner with the folks that are going to be throwing the party.

[00:07:46] So he asks Whitney to just play along.

[00:07:50] Whitney reluctantly agrees, but immediately fumbles by telling the couple that she's a ballroom dancer between jobs.

[00:07:57] The woman, Patty, was pumped when she heard this and asked Whitney if, since she's between jobs, would mind helping plan the ball.

[00:08:05] The next day, Agent Dawson brings Whitney to his boss, intending to figure out how to remove her from the situation.

[00:08:13] But the boss sees an opportunity.

[00:08:15] Whitney has secured regular access to the targets, so she can't drop out now.

[00:08:22] However, she is going to need some training.

[00:08:24] There is a training montage where Whitney initially struggles, but eventually masters everything from backstory to subtle pocket texting.

[00:08:35] She is ready to go.

[00:08:36] At Patty and Maxwell, horse's house, best of couple, Patty gives Whitney the lowdown on the necklace while Dawson snoops around.

[00:08:48] He's caught by Maxwell, but Maxwell brushes it off and offers him a bottle of wine on his way out.

[00:08:54] Finding no clues whatsoever, they visit the museum to devise a plan to catch the thieves during the party.

[00:09:02] The museum guy who is in on the plan mentioned that he once got tricked by a fake painting, which gives Whitney an idea.

[00:09:11] Something that you just wouldn't mention.

[00:09:12] It's really kind of him.

[00:09:13] It is really kind of him.

[00:09:15] Yeah.

[00:09:15] But that gives Whitney an idea for a fake necklace.

[00:09:19] If we can do a fake one, then we can replace it with the real one or vice versa, whatever.

[00:09:24] Anyway, they find a woman who makes jewelry in the back of a Christmas store and can whip up a replica in just a few hours.

[00:09:32] They stay to watch her work, and Dawson is impressed by the result.

[00:09:36] In the short time before the party, Whitney decorates Dawson's apartment for Christmas because, well, you gotta.

[00:09:43] The necklace arrives and is kept in a secure area.

[00:09:47] Dawson lowers Whitney down to swap the real necklace with the fake one, but the mission fails because they're just straight up not good at this.

[00:09:57] Now they have to try during the actual party.

[00:09:59] Before the party, though, Whitney has to do a game night with her family, and Dawson agrees to join.

[00:10:06] The game is Christmas charades.

[00:10:09] Nervous about meeting a girlfriend's family for the first time, Agent Dawson ends up having fun and winning over the family,

[00:10:18] who, at the end of the day, are a bit suspicious of these two lovebirds because she changed the time of Christmas charades.

[00:10:26] It's super suspicious.

[00:10:28] Oh, man.

[00:10:28] They'll get it.

[00:10:29] Party time.

[00:10:31] When they see each other dressed up, the sparks fly, and at the party, they're about to swap the necklaces

[00:10:37] when Patty suddenly introduces them for a surprise tango because she's a ballroom dancer.

[00:10:44] But she does know how to dance, and so they nail it.

[00:10:47] Then Whitney's dad unexpectedly shows up.

[00:10:50] While they're talking, the power goes out and the necklace goes missing.

[00:10:54] They spot a man with a briefcase about to walk out the door, and so they chase him up to the roof.

[00:10:59] Somebody's on the roof.

[00:11:01] Reindeer on the roof.

[00:11:02] Opening the case, they find nothing.

[00:11:06] This is not good.

[00:11:07] Looking down, they see the museum director escaping with what they assume is the jewels,

[00:11:13] and Whitney's parents have been taken hostage.

[00:11:17] They rappelled down and catched him in the van only to find that her parents have this situation under control.

[00:11:24] It turns out that her parents used to be in the FBI.

[00:11:27] What?

[00:11:27] I know.

[00:11:28] They explained that they were suspicious about what they were up to after Whitney rescheduled game night.

[00:11:33] Yeah, of course.

[00:11:34] You can't do that.

[00:11:35] And they showed up at the party and quickly figured out what was going on.

[00:11:40] That's how good they are, despite being out of the game for 30 years.

[00:11:43] They even secured the real necklace.

[00:11:45] The movie couldn't end there, though.

[00:11:47] I mean, it could have, but it didn't.

[00:11:49] Whitney feels betrayed by her parents.

[00:11:51] Her parents and storms off, upset that they ruined the exciting night.

[00:11:57] Josh follows her and tries to calm her down, telling her that her parents are amazing.

[00:12:01] And she comes back with, what do you know about family?

[00:12:05] A stinger, given that Josh grew up in the foster system, and she knew that.

[00:12:09] As Whitney mopes around, she realizes the painting that the museum guide mentioned earlier has been stolen.

[00:12:15] She suspects Patty and goes to confront her, only to end up in danger, because Patty is there and she has bad guys with her to capture her.

[00:12:24] But as they capture her, the FBI storms in, knocking first, I'm sure, and saves the day.

[00:12:31] It's Christmas Day, and Whitney's parents arrive with gifts and apologies that they don't need to give.

[00:12:37] She forgives them.

[00:12:38] Josh shows up, and Whitney gives him a Christmas present, a snow globe of a child by himself with presents.

[00:12:45] It works.

[00:12:46] And he gives her a replica of the Christmas necklace.

[00:12:50] Whitney invites Josh to spend Christmas with the family.

[00:12:53] And they kiss as the fink snows, snows.

[00:12:57] And that, my friends, was the Christmas charade.

[00:13:02] We did it.

[00:13:04] Let's take a quick break.

[00:13:05] We'll come back.

[00:13:05] We'll break this movie down with four segments here on...

[00:13:08] Dangle of Horror.

[00:13:12] Welcome back, everybody.

[00:13:22] I...

[00:13:22] It's hot with this horse head.

[00:13:25] It's like you forgot.

[00:13:27] Every time, yeah.

[00:13:28] And the scarf.

[00:13:29] It's a horse that's a big fan of the Australian Football League.

[00:13:34] Yeah.

[00:13:34] The Western Bulldogs.

[00:13:35] It's a horse that's a fan of the dogs.

[00:13:37] Big dog fan.

[00:13:38] Yeah.

[00:13:38] Let's break down the Christmas charade, shall we?

[00:13:42] We're going to start with the hot take.

[00:13:43] It's where we share exactly how we felt about this movie.

[00:13:46] Brian, what'd you think?

[00:13:47] A little heisty.

[00:13:48] A little heisty.

[00:13:49] I found myself thinking, have they gone too far?

[00:13:52] Are they making a mockery of a Christmas movie?

[00:13:57] No.

[00:13:57] I don't think they are.

[00:13:59] I had a good time.

[00:14:01] This, I liked it.

[00:14:02] I...

[00:14:03] The FBI bits...

[00:14:04] Yeah, there you go.

[00:14:05] The FBI bits worked a lot.

[00:14:08] I realize I like a lot when you're taken into a scenario where everybody else around you

[00:14:14] knows what's going on and they have the shoes that are your size and everything fits just

[00:14:19] right.

[00:14:20] I like that.

[00:14:21] And they did the whole FBI training montage.

[00:14:23] I thought it was really fun.

[00:14:25] They introduced Mrs. Claus as a Christmas store owner, which I believe now is canon in

[00:14:30] Christmas.

[00:14:31] I love that idea.

[00:14:33] Everybody's like, we're always talking like, what's Mrs. Claus' deal?

[00:14:36] What's her deal during the off season?

[00:14:38] I like this for her deal.

[00:14:39] This is the off season.

[00:14:40] This is the on season.

[00:14:42] Yeah.

[00:14:43] I think she's a real Mrs. Claus.

[00:14:44] And this is her deal.

[00:14:46] She has a store.

[00:14:48] It's all Christmas-y.

[00:14:48] And she does art forgeries on the side?

[00:14:50] Whatever you need, I think she could do.

[00:14:52] Interesting.

[00:14:52] Yeah.

[00:14:53] I like it.

[00:14:53] I like that idea.

[00:14:54] The ball, the auction ball at the end was, I thought, pretty thrilling.

[00:14:59] I think they did a really good job with capturing the intensity of that.

[00:15:02] And then all momentum, just off a cliff.

[00:15:05] Yeah.

[00:15:06] The ending, like, Brian, you alluded to there.

[00:15:08] The ending just went on just a touch too long.

[00:15:11] It was forever.

[00:15:12] They had such a strong way to end it.

[00:15:14] And it just fizzled.

[00:15:15] And it just kept going and going.

[00:15:17] And they didn't need all that nonsense at the end.

[00:15:20] Overall, though, I did like it.

[00:15:22] I had a good time.

[00:15:23] A few complaints, but a lot of things that I had a good time with.

[00:15:26] By and large, Brian, I agree with you.

[00:15:28] I did have a good time with this movie.

[00:15:32] I, you know, believe it or not, I have an idea for this ending that I think is better.

[00:15:38] What?

[00:15:39] So when the dad shows up at the party, I thought that the dad was going to be the bad guy.

[00:15:48] Same here.

[00:15:48] I thought that the dad was going to be the bad guy.

[00:15:50] And so to have him not be a bad guy, but to be him and his wife be FBI agents that have

[00:15:57] been retired for 30 years.

[00:15:59] And for the daughter to get upset about it, I'm like, hey, man, your parents could have

[00:16:04] been criminals because that's what I thought they were.

[00:16:07] This movie, if this movie ended with her parents being the thieves, best movie of the year.

[00:16:13] This movie crushed.

[00:16:14] I appreciate this movie.

[00:16:16] There's lots of, there's a good bit in this movie that throughout it, you're like, I don't

[00:16:21] know about that.

[00:16:22] A little miss here or there.

[00:16:23] But I appreciate the attempt of this movie to do a Christmas heist that is silly and

[00:16:31] fun was a bold choice.

[00:16:33] I think I would have rather it gone a lit to your question.

[00:16:37] Your question is, did this movie go too hard with Christmas heist?

[00:16:40] I would say it didn't go quite hard enough.

[00:16:43] Now we're talking.

[00:16:43] I think this movie could have been really good and it wouldn't have taken that many tweaks

[00:16:48] to make this movie a really solid Christmas heist movie.

[00:16:51] I think it could have done that.

[00:16:53] Bringing the parents in at the end and making them FBI agents was, in my opinion, a really

[00:16:59] bad choice.

[00:17:00] I think there's, you could have made them the criminals or you could have just left them

[00:17:04] out of it.

[00:17:05] And I think that it would have helped the movie either way.

[00:17:07] Bringing them in is, I think so far, the biggest single detriment to a movie this holiday

[00:17:15] season.

[00:17:15] It was a really tough plot point and it made this movie suffer because aside from that,

[00:17:20] I by and large enjoyed the movie and appreciated the attempt.

[00:17:23] Dano?

[00:17:23] Yeah, I hated this movie.

[00:17:26] I think my issue is a lot of what both of you are saying, but I didn't get any of the

[00:17:31] enjoyment out of it.

[00:17:32] I think if this movie is going to be silly, like I think at times it is inane.

[00:17:38] Like it is like unwatchably silly.

[00:17:40] It's not silly enough.

[00:17:42] I know it sounds crazy, but like if you're going to make a movie that's borderline like

[00:17:45] Police Squad or The Naked Gun, it needs to be full-fledged, loony bins crazy.

[00:17:51] And this movie demands that we take it seriously and have real problems and real parental struggle

[00:17:58] and identity crises and that we buy these two people or at least one of them as an actual

[00:18:06] FBI agent in that really nice stylish brick FBI office in New York City.

[00:18:12] And they don't do either thing with the gas pedal down.

[00:18:16] And I think that's my issue is, is you love gas.

[00:18:19] Yeah, sure.

[00:18:20] You could have made a legitimate silly heist movie.

[00:18:24] These two actors I think are game for that, but you didn't.

[00:18:28] I couldn't take any of it seriously.

[00:18:30] And then I, it wasn't silly enough for me to laugh at.

[00:18:32] And then when the parents show up, this thing is fully off the rails, like fully off the

[00:18:37] rails and not in a fun way.

[00:18:38] Anyway, this landed with an absolute thud for me aside from the scout movie.

[00:18:43] Well, I don't, I'm not really counting the July movies, but of the movies that have been

[00:18:47] released during countdown to Christmas, this is just barely ahead of the scout movie.

[00:18:51] Had a terrible time with this movie.

[00:18:53] Did not like it at all.

[00:18:55] Disappointing.

[00:18:57] Maybe the worst version of this movie.

[00:18:58] Cause if it's more serious, I like it.

[00:19:00] If it's sillier, I like it as it stands.

[00:19:02] It just kind of sits there.

[00:19:03] And the other two movies are just way better this weekend than this one.

[00:19:07] Um, let's get to, uh, all the fields where we talk about what this movie is feels, Brian.

[00:19:11] Yeah.

[00:19:12] I think one thing I hope we can all agree on is the, the music in this movie crushed.

[00:19:16] Like they really went hard on the, the spy Christmas music.

[00:19:20] Yeah, they did.

[00:19:20] And I really enjoyed it.

[00:19:21] I feel like it added, if you don't do that, it's really flat.

[00:19:25] And so like adding that twist on it really is a, is a, you know, a point in its favor that

[00:19:31] really, I think helped it a lot.

[00:19:32] So I liked that a lot.

[00:19:33] I think that was a really cool choice and they did it really well.

[00:19:36] Um, listen, I love, uh, uh, misunderstanding that leads to someone being in the FBI.

[00:19:41] I think it's a fun time.

[00:19:43] Um, granted this is the only time I've seen it, but I appreciated it.

[00:19:46] It was funny to me when she shows up, he's wearing the green sweater, the guy that she

[00:19:50] was supposed to be having a date with bent down at just the right time for her to sit

[00:19:54] down and him to just go, you're late.

[00:19:56] And like the way that he handled that was really funny.

[00:19:59] It was a funny moment and you just, you roll with the absurdity and you enjoy it.

[00:20:05] That was, there's a movie that came out in 1997.

[00:20:07] I was in eighth grade.

[00:20:09] So not the best judge of film, but it's a Bill Murray movie called the man who knew too

[00:20:12] little.

[00:20:13] And for the entirety of the film, he thinks he's in a living acting thing where he's acting

[00:20:18] through London, but he's in a real movie with MI six.

[00:20:22] So, and he thinks he's acting and everyone in it is actors.

[00:20:26] And it's, I, as an eighth grader, I'm sure Alonzo Duraldi is going to text me and be like,

[00:20:29] that movie sucks.

[00:20:30] Critically, I'm pretty sure it's reviled.

[00:20:32] I love that movie as an eighth grader.

[00:20:34] It was my kind of humor, really funny.

[00:20:37] Bill Murray's really funny in it.

[00:20:38] And there's a brief moment in this movie where I think we're going to get some of that,

[00:20:42] where she shows up and I was thinking he was going to whisk her her way to this meeting

[00:20:46] and she was going to not know for a little bit.

[00:20:49] Instead, they pretty much tell her right away that ruins that.

[00:20:52] And that was the end of my fun for the movie.

[00:20:55] So, you know, let's take a quick break.

[00:20:57] We'll come back.

[00:20:57] We'll get to the way, what, and the what?

[00:20:58] The Hallmark here on deck.

[00:21:00] The Hallmark.

[00:21:10] Welcome back, everybody.

[00:21:12] It's Bran.

[00:21:13] It's Brian.

[00:21:14] It's Dan.

[00:21:15] Happy Halloween.

[00:21:17] My costume's doing well.

[00:21:19] It is.

[00:21:20] Horse is taking a nap.

[00:21:20] You look like a kid.

[00:21:22] That's right.

[00:21:22] I know, man.

[00:21:24] It's just tough.

[00:21:26] Let's get to the, wait, what is what we're talking about?

[00:21:28] Favorite Halloween candy, Brandon.

[00:21:32] I like bite-sized cookies and cream bars because it's the perfect amount of cookies and cream bars.

[00:21:36] Other than that is instant dehydration.

[00:21:37] It's a big tum-tum problem.

[00:21:39] So, I appreciate the bite-sized.

[00:21:41] Brian?

[00:21:42] Yeah.

[00:21:42] Kit Kats, year-round.

[00:21:43] Okay.

[00:21:43] Halloween, Christmas.

[00:21:44] Give it to me.

[00:21:45] Dan?

[00:21:46] Reese's pumpkins.

[00:21:47] Reese's pumpkins.

[00:21:47] Mini sour punch straws, second, for some reason.

[00:21:50] Oh, weird.

[00:21:50] That's interesting.

[00:21:51] I never liked the way that those taste.

[00:21:53] Yeah.

[00:21:53] I'm on board.

[00:21:54] Let's get to the way, what, Brian?

[00:21:55] Yeah.

[00:21:56] Just after a cursory search, skiing not on the list of top 10 most dangerous sports or events

[00:22:03] or whatever it was, events that they were doing.

[00:22:05] Bull riding number one, actually.

[00:22:07] Bull riding number one.

[00:22:07] Yeah.

[00:22:07] Is this the official list?

[00:22:08] This is a list I found.

[00:22:10] I don't...

[00:22:10] There's many lists.

[00:22:12] All right.

[00:22:12] What else is on there?

[00:22:13] No, I'm curious.

[00:22:14] Big wave surfing.

[00:22:15] Big wave surfing.

[00:22:15] Very dangerous.

[00:22:17] Base jumping for obvious reasons.

[00:22:19] That's a sport now?

[00:22:20] Yeah.

[00:22:21] Yeah.

[00:22:21] They grade out and if you die, you lose?

[00:22:23] I guess so.

[00:22:24] How do you play base jumping?

[00:22:25] I guess so.

[00:22:26] It's base jump.

[00:22:28] Maybe how high you can go, how long you...

[00:22:30] The jumps, the flips you can do.

[00:22:32] I don't know.

[00:22:32] I don't know.

[00:22:33] Cave diving, which...

[00:22:35] What a nightmare.

[00:22:36] Imagine having to go cave diving.

[00:22:37] That's brain's actual nightmare.

[00:22:39] Oh, boy.

[00:22:40] Hard pass.

[00:22:41] Yeah.

[00:22:41] Yeah.

[00:22:42] Just...

[00:22:42] I'd kill myself on purpose, I think, if I had to go cave diving.

[00:22:46] So that's top four.

[00:22:49] Cool.

[00:22:49] Most of those aren't sports.

[00:22:50] I want to be very clear.

[00:22:51] Yeah.

[00:22:52] It's wishy-washy.

[00:22:53] Yeah.

[00:22:53] It's wishy-washy.

[00:22:54] Wishy or washy.

[00:22:55] Wishy or washy.

[00:22:57] Washi.

[00:22:58] I was wishy.

[00:22:59] Yeah, that's tough.

[00:23:01] A fake necklace with a tracker seems like FBI 101.

[00:23:05] Yeah.

[00:23:06] Why didn't this get thought of immediately?

[00:23:09] And even when she said it, I'm like, why didn't I think of that?

[00:23:12] I felt dumb.

[00:23:13] Imagine how bad he felt as the FBI agent.

[00:23:17] Dan, I'll start it and you take the baton.

[00:23:20] That HVAC tunnel.

[00:23:22] HVAC.

[00:23:22] HVAC.

[00:23:24] HVAC.

[00:23:24] HVAC tunnel there with the fan from Target.

[00:23:26] This HVAC system is fantastic.

[00:23:31] Yes.

[00:23:31] Number one, it can hold five, 600 pounds easy.

[00:23:35] Industrial strength.

[00:23:36] Great.

[00:23:36] HVAC system.

[00:23:37] Second of all, it is wide enough just to camp out in.

[00:23:40] You could.

[00:23:41] Rachel Skarsson and Corey Seve are walking.

[00:23:44] There's a foot of space between them.

[00:23:46] There's a foot of space between their other shoulders and the wall.

[00:23:49] Social distancing.

[00:23:49] It is as big as this room that we're in.

[00:23:53] That's great.

[00:23:53] And then at the end of it, instead of a giant industrial fan for an industrial strength HVAC

[00:23:59] system, there's a little box fan that they've put in there.

[00:24:02] That's the point of this movie where I was like, if they would lean into this as a ridiculously

[00:24:08] dumb, silly movie, I think I could join them.

[00:24:11] But we're taking themselves seriously.

[00:24:13] They're taking themselves seriously in this scene.

[00:24:15] And that was when I was fully out.

[00:24:16] Yeah.

[00:24:16] So that was funny.

[00:24:18] The last thing was just at the end when they slide down that rope, just no gloves, just

[00:24:22] the burn.

[00:24:23] Oh boy.

[00:24:24] Put that on the list of dangerous sports because holy cow, that just hurt my hands.

[00:24:29] The old dangerous sport of rope sliding.

[00:24:32] Cave diving.

[00:24:33] Take a back seat.

[00:24:34] 10 story rope slide.

[00:24:36] Yeah.

[00:24:36] That's tough.

[00:24:37] Is that it?

[00:24:38] Yeah.

[00:24:38] So they show up at Patty and Maxwell's house.

[00:24:43] And before knocking on the door, they give away everything about what they're trying to

[00:24:50] do.

[00:24:50] And it is a great thing that these rich folk don't have a doorbell camera or else they

[00:24:57] would have foiled it all.

[00:24:58] Is it not part of FBI where before you walk into a place, if you're going to talk about

[00:25:04] it, talk about it in code.

[00:25:05] He just laid it out perfectly.

[00:25:08] And it's a good thing.

[00:25:09] I thought maybe I was going to come back to bite them.

[00:25:11] I thought that surely these rich people have a doorbell camera or security system of some

[00:25:15] sorts, but they don't, which is super dope for our leads.

[00:25:21] You know, you said that that's Mrs. Claus's shop.

[00:25:26] I didn't know that.

[00:25:28] I just wrote, why does this woman even bother having a Christmas shop when she clearly can

[00:25:33] just forge really nice works of art with jewelry?

[00:25:38] But if she's Mrs. Claus, it doesn't really explain it, but I guess I appreciate that

[00:25:44] she doesn't explain it at all.

[00:25:46] Actually, it leaves me to have more questions, but that's great.

[00:25:49] Why does she have that shop?

[00:25:50] You could have a pretty good Etsy store at the very least.

[00:25:56] He pops open the blueprints of where the necklace is going to be held before the party, and he

[00:26:05] says, according to the blueprints here, this room right here is the short-term holding

[00:26:09] area.

[00:26:10] Is that a room?

[00:26:12] Is that a proper room that you hate?

[00:26:16] This is the dining room.

[00:26:18] The dining room.

[00:26:19] S-T-H-A.

[00:26:19] You've got the living room.

[00:26:21] You've got the short-term holding area.

[00:26:23] I think we've hit all of the big necessary rooms.

[00:26:27] It's to code, man.

[00:26:27] It's to code.

[00:26:28] It's to code.

[00:26:28] Every house now, every establishment needs a short-term holding area.

[00:26:33] Speaking of that short-term holding area, that heist couldn't have been planned less.

[00:26:38] Oh.

[00:26:39] First of all, he tells her to stay in the car.

[00:26:42] What was his plan if she didn't?

[00:26:44] Yeah.

[00:26:44] I didn't think about that.

[00:26:45] I heard you guys say that.

[00:26:46] That's a crazy one.

[00:26:47] Then she doesn't.

[00:26:48] Yeah.

[00:26:48] Luckily, there's enough room for both of them in the ATX.

[00:26:51] Yeah.

[00:26:51] And they're able to do that.

[00:26:53] But then once she goes down there, there's no plan.

[00:26:57] Right.

[00:26:58] And what happens if Buddy doesn't walk in with Christmas cookies?

[00:27:02] There's so many things that could go wrong.

[00:27:03] There's two security guards watching it.

[00:27:04] Buddy walks in with cookies, which obviously, when you're eating cookies, you turn away from

[00:27:08] the thing that you're watching.

[00:27:10] Yeah.

[00:27:10] Yeah.

[00:27:10] It's complete silence.

[00:27:12] Of course.

[00:27:12] Focus on your full attention on the cookies.

[00:27:14] If that guy didn't walk in, she can't go down there.

[00:27:17] Well, they did plan that ahead.

[00:27:18] They did.

[00:27:18] They planned the cookies.

[00:27:19] They had a cookie delivery plan.

[00:27:20] Okay.

[00:27:20] So they did.

[00:27:21] So what if they don't turn away?

[00:27:23] Yeah.

[00:27:23] What if they don't get the-

[00:27:24] They get let into the room where the jewels are stored.

[00:27:26] Yeah.

[00:27:26] That's where all delivery people get to go.

[00:27:28] All right.

[00:27:28] What if the cookie-

[00:27:29] Maybe they should have just been the cookie delivery people.

[00:27:31] Maybe put something in the cookies and knock them out.

[00:27:34] Don't we put out great ideas like that.

[00:27:35] That's crazy.

[00:27:36] Come on.

[00:27:36] Or make it dumber.

[00:27:38] Make it, you know what I mean?

[00:27:39] Either make it that or make it dumber than what they did.

[00:27:41] Or the cookie deliveries people.

[00:27:43] Make them rave about the cookies.

[00:27:45] Yes.

[00:27:46] Yes.

[00:27:47] Make them rave about the cookies so loud they don't hear it.

[00:27:49] Like, oh, the cookie's so good.

[00:27:51] Yeah.

[00:27:51] That would be funny.

[00:27:52] But to have the cookies delivered is just like, okay, so-

[00:27:56] We never get cookies in here.

[00:27:58] We'll have the cookies delivered.

[00:28:00] Is that a chocolate chip?

[00:28:01] Take off my white gloves.

[00:28:03] We'll have the cookies delivered because obviously while eating the cookies,

[00:28:07] they will be turned towards the wall.

[00:28:09] Everyone knows.

[00:28:10] A cookie hit as a wall.

[00:28:11] Yes.

[00:28:12] You gotta be facing north while you're eating your cookies.

[00:28:15] Everybody knows that.

[00:28:15] In the short term storage.

[00:28:16] But then also, while she's down there, she is, you know, hiding.

[00:28:21] And then she's like, pull me up, pull me up.

[00:28:23] Just grab it.

[00:28:24] On the way up.

[00:28:25] Because it worked.

[00:28:26] They didn't get caught.

[00:28:27] She could have just grabbed it on the way up.

[00:28:29] It was a poorly planned heist.

[00:28:31] From start to finish.

[00:28:32] To say the least.

[00:28:40] And that said all four kinds of rain plugs.

[00:28:42] That's enough.

[00:28:43] Yeah.

[00:28:43] You would never move game day back, much less up.

[00:28:46] Yes.

[00:28:46] So that's a mess.

[00:28:48] She should have known better.

[00:28:49] After they play charades, mom and daughter have a talk.

[00:28:54] They play charades?

[00:28:55] Yeah.

[00:28:55] Yes.

[00:28:55] Believe it or not.

[00:28:56] Charades.

[00:28:56] Where the mother and daughter have a talk that takes place where all mother and daughters talk,

[00:29:02] which is the countertop.

[00:29:03] Both of these women are just sitting on the countertop.

[00:29:08] And the dad comes around.

[00:29:09] And I thought the dad was going to hop up on the countertop.

[00:29:11] It's just what the family does.

[00:29:12] It's just what the family has all their big sesh.

[00:29:16] It's countertop sesh.

[00:29:17] FBI thing.

[00:29:19] If one of you wants to sit on the countertop, I still think it's a little bit crazy, but that's fine.

[00:29:24] To have two people sitting on a countertop.

[00:29:27] And you know what she was resting her feet on?

[00:29:29] A chair.

[00:29:30] She was resting her feet on the chair.

[00:29:32] You could have just flipped it and reversed it and sat on the chair.

[00:29:37] Feet on the counter.

[00:29:38] No.

[00:29:38] You don't sit on.

[00:29:40] If you want to sit on a countertop, that's fine.

[00:29:42] But once more than one person does it, it becomes a problem.

[00:29:45] That's my opinion of the matter.

[00:29:46] Yeah.

[00:29:46] I'm worried about the stone at that point.

[00:29:48] I don't know.

[00:29:49] That seems risky.

[00:29:50] When the granite countertops were installed in our house, they specifically said, this

[00:29:54] looks like a solid surface, but you shouldn't sit on it.

[00:29:56] Yeah.

[00:29:57] Like, literally was told to be.

[00:30:00] Maybe they were just looking at you, though.

[00:30:02] Yeah, could look at you.

[00:30:03] You.

[00:30:03] Could be.

[00:30:04] You in particular.

[00:30:05] I'm going to say.

[00:30:05] That's a lot in one spot.

[00:30:06] That's a lot.

[00:30:07] Yeah.

[00:30:07] You?

[00:30:08] I think you're fine.

[00:30:09] You?

[00:30:10] Can you imagine people that install counters doing that?

[00:30:14] Sizing up everyone that lives in their house and going.

[00:30:16] All right, everybody.

[00:30:17] Get around.

[00:30:17] Everybody in line up.

[00:30:18] I need everybody.

[00:30:19] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:30:20] Everybody turn to the side if you could.

[00:30:22] Yeah, that's another no-go.

[00:30:24] Dano.

[00:30:24] Do you play rugby?

[00:30:25] This goes without saying, but I guess we need to say it.

[00:30:28] Carolers don't corner you in the middle of the street.

[00:30:32] They were aggressive, yeah.

[00:30:33] I just.

[00:30:33] In New York City, where everybody's got a place to be, they just pop out.

[00:30:38] And any FBI agent just powers through them.

[00:30:42] Like, just as like, get out.

[00:30:44] If you've never been to New York City, if people are going somewhere, they're going to

[00:30:48] get there.

[00:30:48] They're going to just walk right by you.

[00:30:51] They're used to people trying to hand you stuff, sell you stuff, get your attention.

[00:30:54] It's not going to work.

[00:30:56] This is like, she's the nicest FBI agent alive.

[00:30:59] She just stops and she's like, well, I guess I got to hear it out.

[00:31:02] I'm here.

[00:31:02] We get my purse out.

[00:31:03] And then, you know, there's nothing I can do.

[00:31:05] They say that this is a covert operation.

[00:31:07] It could not be less covert.

[00:31:09] We're sharing FBI files with civilians.

[00:31:11] We're telling the owners of this building the entire plan.

[00:31:16] And it turns out he's in on it.

[00:31:18] Also, the guy that's in on, the guy that owns the place says he was fooled by a forgery once

[00:31:25] and never again.

[00:31:26] And then he's immediately fooled by a forgery.

[00:31:30] He's the one guy that says, you won't, I know art better than anyone.

[00:31:36] You won't fool me to get on a forgery.

[00:31:38] That's great.

[00:31:39] You got fooled again on a forgery.

[00:31:42] I don't know.

[00:31:43] No, no, no, no.

[00:31:45] It feels like a slam against the art.

[00:31:47] Yeah, a little bit.

[00:31:48] In your face.

[00:31:49] Corey Sevier is, they're doing a montage where he's training Skarsson on their backstory.

[00:31:54] And he has a chalkboard with one multiple choice question written, taking up the entire chalkboard.

[00:32:00] This is another moment, which if it was a police squad or naked gun movie, then all this other stuff is really funny.

[00:32:08] Do you know what I mean?

[00:32:09] Like it's like, but the idea that he's writing these questions and erasing it and then writing another one.

[00:32:16] Yeah, you're right.

[00:32:17] Bro, five questions took you an hour.

[00:32:19] Like you can't do that.

[00:32:21] He's clapping the erasers together to clear them off.

[00:32:23] He keeps on.

[00:32:24] Yeah.

[00:32:25] He keeps on.

[00:32:26] That's a funny bit.

[00:32:27] We've written a funnier movie.

[00:32:28] He another thing that would have been really funny in a comedy.

[00:32:32] Yeah, exactly.

[00:32:34] He keeps on talking to the FBI person in the van and he keeps doing this and there is nothing in his ear.

[00:32:42] Nothing.

[00:32:43] And he keeps doing this and it's fantastic.

[00:32:46] There's nothing there.

[00:32:47] It's not even.

[00:32:48] We don't know what the FBI has.

[00:32:49] No, we don't have some stealthy stuff.

[00:32:50] I just have a, I don't know, a preponderance of evidence.

[00:32:53] Sure.

[00:32:54] Every one of these movies you've ever seen where they have an earpiece in their ear.

[00:32:58] For this guy not to have one in their ears.

[00:33:01] A little bit ridiculous.

[00:33:04] And then, oh, you mentioned it, but I'll mention it one more time.

[00:33:08] The whole reason that they show up, that the parents show up to this is when you move game night.

[00:33:16] Again.

[00:33:17] Listen, we have not.

[00:33:18] Pre-polled game night.

[00:33:19] We've not done any FBI-ing in three decades.

[00:33:25] William Clinton was in office last time we took the reins of a case.

[00:33:29] But when our daughter moved game night up one night, that's when the wheels started turning.

[00:33:37] And we thought, what better time than now for us to dust off the old jackets and get out there and FBI again.

[00:33:45] The bomber jacket?

[00:33:46] Are you kidding?

[00:33:47] I wish.

[00:33:48] The movie would have been better.

[00:33:48] I wish.

[00:33:49] And our closet would have had a little more room in here.

[00:33:51] Like, you guys, it just.

[00:33:55] And as bad as that was, if afterwards, if they had revealed that and the daughter would have been like, this is so cool.

[00:34:00] And they would just kiss.

[00:34:01] The movie would have been way better.

[00:34:03] But we continue to make mistakes that compound as the movie goes along.

[00:34:07] But that one was a real doozy.

[00:34:08] When you move game night up a night, we knew that there was a sting happening.

[00:34:14] I just.

[00:34:14] I like.

[00:34:15] Yeah.

[00:34:16] I know that there was other things that happened after that.

[00:34:18] But that being the thing that got the ball rolling was just bonkers new new.

[00:34:22] I did not like that one bit.

[00:34:23] But it's time for what the hallmarkers were.

[00:34:25] We wonder what could have been.

[00:34:26] Maybe haven't been to clear any questions that we still have.

[00:34:28] What are we still wondering about that we'd like some answers to, Brian?

[00:34:31] Yeah.

[00:34:31] And I don't know if this is an effect of the preponing game night.

[00:34:35] Sure.

[00:34:36] Is game night usually just a three-person event?

[00:34:38] Three-person event.

[00:34:39] That's my question.

[00:34:40] Oh, really?

[00:34:41] Yeah.

[00:34:41] That's real weird.

[00:34:42] They're just playing three-person charades and they're just hanging out.

[00:34:44] Is that it?

[00:34:45] Just always three of them?

[00:34:46] Just a.

[00:34:46] It's a big deal for 30-some years.

[00:34:48] Yeah.

[00:34:48] It's a weird game night.

[00:34:50] It's a weird game night.

[00:34:51] It's a weird game night.

[00:34:52] It's a weird game night.

[00:34:53] Three-person game night.

[00:34:55] So my.

[00:34:56] I'm sure that they like explained it fully and I just missed it.

[00:35:01] But why did she.

[00:35:04] Why did she.

[00:35:05] What did Patty say or do that made her suspect Patty to be the one that stole the painting?

[00:35:11] Do you.

[00:35:12] I think she just commented on how much she liked it.

[00:35:15] Okay.

[00:35:15] It was kind of it.

[00:35:15] At one point she said, I got all that recorded at the end.

[00:35:18] And I don't even know what Patty said.

[00:35:19] Because like Pat.

[00:35:20] Like my.

[00:35:21] My impression was that Patty and Maxwell aren't bad guys.

[00:35:26] They're just having a party.

[00:35:28] Suspicious.

[00:35:28] No.

[00:35:29] They're just having a party.

[00:35:30] They're bringing the necklace in.

[00:35:31] And then the museum guy stole it.

[00:35:34] Stole it.

[00:35:34] But then it comes out.

[00:35:36] They stole the painting.

[00:35:37] That they stole the painting.

[00:35:38] But they also might be in on it too.

[00:35:40] But I didn't know.

[00:35:40] Did we establish who had the other six artifacts?

[00:35:44] I think she had them.

[00:35:45] The other six artists.

[00:35:46] It was Patty.

[00:35:47] I think it was Patty.

[00:35:48] Patty did it all.

[00:35:49] She loves love.

[00:35:50] They were who we thought they were.

[00:35:51] Okay.

[00:35:52] So they were.

[00:35:52] Yeah.

[00:35:53] Because then when it turned out, when I saw that the museum guy did it, I was like, oh,

[00:35:57] it's just a museum guy.

[00:35:58] Right.

[00:35:58] And then I didn't get anything from Patty that made me think like, oh, Patty definitely

[00:36:02] stole the painting.

[00:36:03] She loves love.

[00:36:04] She loves it.

[00:36:05] But I don't know.

[00:36:06] I'm sure there were details in there that I missed.

[00:36:09] But I was just like, that's not my, like, that's not the Patty I know.

[00:36:12] You know.

[00:36:12] Yeah.

[00:36:12] That's not the Patty.

[00:36:13] Yeah.

[00:36:14] It's her favorite painting and the whole thing.

[00:36:16] Yeah.

[00:36:17] Okay.

[00:36:18] Great.

[00:36:18] Yeah.

[00:36:18] That's enough.

[00:36:19] That's enough for me.

[00:36:20] Yeah.

[00:36:20] All right.

[00:36:21] Great.

[00:36:21] Dana?

[00:36:21] Peanuts the bookstore.

[00:36:23] Peanuts.

[00:36:23] I, I, you okay?

[00:36:27] Yeah.

[00:36:28] We're so stupid.

[00:36:30] The three person game night was wild to me.

[00:36:33] The fact that the FBI is ready for him to turn in his badge and gun.

[00:36:38] And then they're like, you get one more crack at this.

[00:36:40] And it turns out he needed two 30 year retirees to do it for him.

[00:36:46] Does he get to keep his badge now?

[00:36:48] Well, that's a good one.

[00:36:49] Or does he still have to turn it in because it's clear he's bad at his job as FBI agents?

[00:36:54] Which is my big one.

[00:36:56] That, that's my, that's my big one is he didn't, they gave him another chance six months

[00:37:01] and the case was cracked, but he didn't crack it.

[00:37:05] Right.

[00:37:05] He was in giant room of HVAC and, and with candy cane colored rope, but he did not crack

[00:37:13] it the 30 year out of, out of the games.

[00:37:15] You know what you can crack?

[00:37:17] What's that?

[00:37:17] A peanut.

[00:37:18] You can't crack it.

[00:37:19] I've heard.

[00:37:19] We did it, everybody.

[00:37:21] Congratulations.

[00:37:21] We are going to be back tomorrow, um, with a, uh, a review on operation nutcracker.

[00:37:28] Correct.

[00:37:29] Yeah.

[00:37:29] Um, but that's going to sound like we're at Bramble fest.

[00:37:31] Yes.

[00:37:31] Well that it did.

[00:37:32] And so we've already reviewed this movie because it was from Christmas in July.

[00:37:34] But for those of you that just listened seasonally and we know that you exist, um, we're going

[00:37:39] to re-release.

[00:37:40] We know.

[00:37:40] We acknowledge your existence and we value you so much so that we're going to re-release

[00:37:46] it tomorrow so that you can still, uh, listen to our thoughts on that movie, which came

[00:37:51] out in July.

[00:37:52] But the Hallmark's trying to act like they didn't.

[00:37:55] I'm trying to pull a fast one on us.

[00:37:56] I'm trying to play a fast one.

[00:37:57] With the worst movie of the year.

[00:37:58] No.

[00:37:59] So we'll, uh, we'll do that tomorrow.

[00:38:01] It's my favorite in July.

[00:38:02] It's going to be a lot of fun.

[00:38:03] And then we'll be back on Saturday with a Netflix preview show.

[00:38:07] It's going to be a lot of fun.

[00:38:07] Until then, we're the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.
