BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

We start off the movie WITH THE MEET CUTE! WILD STUFF. We meet Kayli who is pulling up to a hotel, grabs a luggage cart, and is stopped by a hotel worker named Mills. He's makes a joke, they have some cute banter and then she gets bumped into him by a paparazi. He catches her though, don't worry. Once inside, they bump into each other again when he hops on her cart to help him capture a drone out of the air. Kayli works for famed stylaist Celine and heads up to the room and theres a knock at the door. Wouldn't you know it, It's Mills. He has a delivery. It's the dress that they are going to dress famous actor, Rini-Jean. The dress is a big deal. It belonged to Elizabeth Taylor. Mills is like you need to sign this paper releasing the delivery into your hands because security is real tight right now. Apparently, there was already a robbery of something Gala related earlier this week, so the hotel is really locked down and following protocol. He helps her calm down - this is her first time doing this event without Celine there but she thinks Kayli is ready. Mills tells her that he'll be back soon to pick the dress back up and put it in the hotel safe. 

We find out that Mills is about to get a big promotion as head of security for the entire hotel chain. 

Rini-Jean comes in and tells Kayli she's not thrilled about the designs anymore. She asks Kayli if she can make some changes. So Kayli runs out and gets soem supplies and wips something togehter and Rini-Jean is pumped. She's like aside from the Elizabeth Taylor dress, I want you to change everything. Big stress! 

Mills comes back by to grab the dress and that's when they discover that while Kayli was out grabbing supplies, someone came in and stole it! 

Naturally, this leads to Kayli and Mills hanging out a ton, getting to know each other, have having some serious flirty flirty fun times. 

Naturally, they decide they're gonna go to all of the parties and keep an eye out for a thief. At the first party thye go to, the lights go out and naturally they almost kiss. But when they come back, they see that something is missing from one of the attendees. 

Since they're gonna be going to all these parties together, Mills has go to learn how to dance. He knocks on her door one night, and she gives him a dancing lesson and they almost kiss but they're interupted. She's like I gotta go but he's like oh if you think that's gonna stop me and then they kiss big ones! 

While at the big party, Reni-Jean gets proposed to but the ring isn't in the dudes pocket. Kayli looks around and sees this suspcious body guard making a run for it, so she follows him. He is about to drop the ring in a drain when Mills comes in and tackles him. The ring goes flying and Kayli leaps to get it. The dude admits to everything. They recover everything except the Elizabeth Taylor dress. Kayli says she's just ready for life to go back to normal. Looks like he's going to be getting that promotion afterwords. She asks him if he'll be in LA at all for work and she says every 7 months and they hug. 

The next day, when she goes to talk to him, it turns out he quit. He felt like the security lapse was his fault and he didn't deserve the gig. 

Rini-Jean asks Kayli to be her full time styalist. It's time for her to spread her wings and go out on her own!

She goes to find Mills to convince him not to quit and he's like oh i didn't quit, i got fired. Wait a second! HE knows who did it! His boss who was mad that he was getting promoted over him. They go and find the dress and dude gets arrested. 

But he's not gonna take his job back. Instead, he's gonna be the head of securit for Rini-Jean and her fiance. They're gonna travel the world together and thye kiss big onesssss.

[00:16:10] What do you think Of the love heist Well after listening First of all After listening To your interview With Lindsay That was wonderful Another phenomenal interview Could she be any more fun Oh my goodness I After listening to her And I have I'm embarrassed To say this But I have to To clear my conscience I didn't put together She was The daughter On How I Met Your Mother It blew my mind I was so angry With myself Because I love that I love that show I'm glad She was such a great So smart

[00:16:39] Her stories Are phenomenal The jokes Everything that came out Of that Was just such a great time And I walked away Rooting for her So hard Like I was Such a big fan Of her After listening You just are on her side And hearing about her Horror movie The cast in this Horror movie She's in Are you kidding me You know that's A McLean joint Oh really Nelson McLean Yes Nelson McLean What Oh man So I just could not Be like more pumped To watch this movie For her Like on her behalf We're going to have To go to the theater You're going to have To join us

[00:17:09] I want to go see that In the theater For a Nelson McLean Horror movie story Lindsay Fonseca Are you kidding me Tom Cavanaugh Are you Hunter King's in it I mean So I was way up here For this movie I was pumped And I'm like This is going to be fun Fun heist movie That said Uh oh That being said Fashion icon Fashion head Fashionista Whatever Yeah You know My license You brought out A collar today First time maybe ever

[00:17:38] I don't know Just a Father's Day gift Pop it Pop it Look at this guy Look at this guy Wow Wow No one looks More comfortable And in their skin One less button One new one Looks more Yeah look at this guy I mean Come on This is how you're supposed To wear it apparently That's my understanding So Fashion stuff aside The I What I enjoyed Was the The slow meandering Of this story

[00:18:08] Going on It was slow Is what you're saying Yeah Taking it's time Very calming Storytelling Which was Nice Upon reflection But I thought I was sitting down For an exciting Heist movie And even my Son Who was really Pumped to watch it With me He decided to Join his mom And brother To go Out for ice cream Instead of Why he wanted To go out for ice cream Instead of this movie And I was like Listen You don't It's okay bud You can go Eat the ice cream He's like I know But I told you I watched the movie I said I'll tell you

[00:18:37] What happens A typical kid Here Who would rather Have ice cream Than this movie And so That And so It turns out It was He went for ice cream This is a Nice sidebar story He went for ice cream At the ice cream shop I think that All the The dads Who were there With their kids Felt bad for my wife Who was there With the two boys Yeah Me not In sight Because I'm home Father's day Father's day It's happened on Father's day And so Some guy bought her Her ice cream Somebody slipped

[00:19:07] Ethan $10 Like $20 I mean What What ice cream place This was What was A TCBY I believe Oh sure It was I think it was A free deal For dads On that day Oh free deal For dads And so Ethan came home He's like Oh I wish this guy Happy Father's day And he gave me $20 Or he had He was He was gonna start Doing that Yeah That's pretty But I was like I have to Actually what happened Was like The whole store Was like pitying us It was just A really sad scene It's not a great Encouragement Until kids go

[00:19:37] Talk to strangers At that point Yeah You can't stop him Maybe they'll give you $20 He'll keep trying All year long So He Missed out He missed out But I filled him in But So I did like What the movie was But I was just so pumped For an exciting heist And it was like not You were pumped For what it wasn't Right I had this idea And But it turns out I really Like I appreciated The amount of fashion Passion That was in this movie Fashion It was some fashion Passion Peter Porte Or as Brian

[00:20:06] Calls him Peter Port Was I was rooting For him As a security guard Like I wanted him To get this new This gig Like he was Into it You know And so There were some Really funny moments The writing I felt was really strong So I liked It for what it was I just had to Adjust my expectations So I think I liked it Pretty Pretty well Overall Interesting What a way to get there I'll say this First act Loved it Third act Loved it Second act Little boards

[00:20:36] And that's okay Ice cream time Ice cream time These two leaves Wonderful together I love How quickly They meet Me cuted And Had to It was A lot of movie To get to It was great Him Hopping on The Luggage cart And just being like Push me Push me Funny That worked for me A couple of really Good Romantic scenes Which I will get to In my feels So yeah

[00:21:05] As somebody who Turns to this Network for Two characters That I'm cheering For to fall in love Really enjoyed this movie As far as the Heist movie goes Underwound by the Heist And the Whodunit Of it all But You know Still enjoyed Myself Overall More than the Average movie This year I would say For me So There you go Dano So I would say And these two guys Have kind of danced Around it It's the worst Named movie Yeah We've had in a long Time Because there

[00:21:36] Fundamentally is no Heist Like a heist Is like a group Of dudes Or a group Of like I'm thinking Ocean's 11 So like Or in Ocean's 8 A group of ladies Like who are Planning To steal something And it takes All of them Working together And there's a Save cracker And there's a Blah blah blah And they steal This thing This Is something Is stolen And we have To kind of Sort of Find it If we have The time Between parties That's what's Happening here

[00:22:05] It is The heist Happens off screen The love Happens on screen It is not A love heist He didn't Steal her heart Okay The problem Is that When you tell me Love heist And it starts With something Being stolen There would be An assumption That we're going To see the inner Workings of how It was stolen Or The movie These two leads Are going to be Hot on the case Neither of those Things happen In this movie And that's Unfortunate Because it leads To a lot of

[00:22:35] Expectations being Completely just Cut at the knees And then what you Have is a movie That the two leads Do make what is On screen work Very well I think both of The leads are Very very capable And we need more Of Peter at Porte as we say That as we've Always said Porte We need more of Him on the network We always like to See Lindsay Fonseca But the movie Does kind of Just sit there The fashion Is good The difference Of it all being In a big city And these two Meeting right away

[00:23:05] I do think In parts Does set it apart And I think It's a pretty Sophisticated movie All things considered But it is very slow And it's not a heist And so You know As it goes Judging it by that Measure Not great In fact My least favorite Lindsay Fonseca movie On the network After we just talked to her I know that sucks She's still great Sure Peter Porte is still great But if you're asking me To rank the movie She's done on homework

[00:23:34] This would be my least favorite Yeah I would like What would have been A Fashionably in love Well we've done Fashionably yours And then we did one With Was it Lacey J. Mailey Who was in one of those That we did But I think it's more About the fashion That's right Right Cause like Her dress at the end Of this movie Is great Which It's like I never once Maybe a couple of times But typically I'm not one to notice Like oh that's a really

[00:24:06] Thing where the The lead walks down The stairs slow And the guy's like Whoa Typically it's like Yeah there's That's a dress This was a fashionable Like I'm doing This is fat This is the gala You know I will say this It could be Cause the three of us Don't know fashion Sure But for me And I think I speak For all three of us Like when they do A movie about photography And we're immediately Like that's not a good picture Or when they do A movie about podcasting Or when they do A movie about sports I don't know fashion But it passed the test To me Sure Like for me This felt like It wanted to get

[00:24:36] The fashion right In a way that Most Hallmark movies Do not And it wanted to get Two adults talking Like adults By and large right More than most Hallmark movies And I will grant them Those two things But if you're called The love heist You don't have a heist And your movie's boring If your movie has heist In the title It can't be boring I think we can all agree And I think that All three of us said boring And so We have to penalize This movie For what it claimed I'm sorry Like I You know I just There are worse movies

[00:25:05] But there are also movies That did the thing They said it was going to do Better than this movie So like I think of the Ian Harding Lacey Chabert movie A movie I didn't like As much as you two But did the thing It said it was going to do And did it very very well This movie did not do The thing it said It was going to do In the movie's defense So you can't just call it The love True So we had to have A third The love Caper Anything that involves The stealing Like the stealing Of this dress Is such a like Yeah Off Like that happens Completely off screen Like if you have

[00:25:34] A movie called a heist There has to be a scene Where that music's playing And somebody steals something I don't disagree We see nothing stolen Nothing So Yeah It's time for the feels We're talking about What this movie is Feels a story with you I brought a clip From my feels Oh my gosh I almost sent this To you guys last week When I watched this movie But I don't want To spoil anything Here we go This should be Pretty self explanatory Okay Here we go Okay Mr. Porte

[00:26:06] That scene Where they had The almost kiss And he pulls her back in That's great You almost felt it Like you felt like He's not going to Let that moment Slip away And he even says Do you think I'm going to Yeah Like let's A little distraction Like that Keep me from Like Which is what We've talked about All the time Any normal person Is continuing With the kiss And this movie Has some of those touches And I believe It is because Of something I'll talk about In my What the Home Okay Okay That Save it

[00:26:35] And it made me realize We complain a lot About how The almost kiss Is interrupted And they move on But then they don't In this one And it's the Highlight the whole page Metaphor Where you get it once And you're like Oh it really hits Yes It really hits And it was perfect In that moment So that was it And then Earlier than that They do the At the Once When they're at the party And the thing gets stolen And she's like You're not going to search me Yeah And she's like You're searching everybody And then he does the search

[00:27:05] And dadgummit The tension there Between those two When he is Doing this number On her And then grabs her hips And then finds the thing In the pocket Great Really good Great scene And I gotta be honest I was like That to me Felt like Oh this seems A little more than Hallmark would normally Venture Because that was pretty Yeah That was pretty Spicy A little spicy So alright Hallmark I see you That's like Two Is it

[00:27:35] Was the Dancing movie Last week Yeah Texas Two Step With the lips Getting hot out here A couple of spices Back to back Might be Well I don't know We'll have to Turmeric We'll have to talk About that Dan any feels I like the fashion Faux pas party Mainly because I Spotted at least A half dozen things Brand would wear Yeah And not like Ironically I appreciate that Thank you Like it's not Meant to be a jab Either Like it was just Like

[00:28:04] The bright bold colors I'm like Brand this is like Brand like Looking like Oh I'll take that I'll take that I'll take that It was fantastic Yeah 100% Alright let's take a break We'll come back We'll get to the way One of the hallmark Here on Deck The Hallmark Yeah Trace Take me Turmeric's nowhere To be found Was he in I thought he just Was on the line No he left a note In the bathroom

[00:28:34] What did it say Say sorry It just says sorry Stay out of the bathroom It says sorry So I don't know Because honestly He didn't smell bad Yeah So it felt like He was apologizing For his segment Okay Yes he should So Okay thank you Trace No problem Good update Can I Can you guys Need anything We don't I'm out of practice I don't know what to do Yeah And the fact that you're Doing as well as you're doing Tells me you're out of practice Right You used to really mess this up Pretty good Yes

[00:29:03] Absolutely And things are going pretty smooth Right now So I feel I feel good about it Dan you'll like this I was doing pastor slides The other day Yeah And I put a little thing Just for me A tiny little You guys remember Little Easter egg Little Easter egg But it wasn't an Easter egg Because Jesus is for Easter Yes that's right But you guys remember The slogan She's trying to go It works Yeah You guys remember Mellow Mushroom I do It's still a thing Right So I put the Mellow Mushroom logo

[00:29:33] Right behind Some of what he was Talking about What was he talking about I couldn't tell you I was I was I was so bored He's not a good speaker Speaker Steve But I love him Stevie I love my life Yeah How prominent is the mushroom It's big Okay I'm on sabbatical You didn't sneak it You didn't sneak it in there You think it's a coincidence I put the Mellow Mushroom on there And now I'm on sabbatical No I guess not Sneaky Steve Yeah Sneaky Okay

[00:30:03] Thanks Trace Alright let's get to the way what It's where we talk about What in this movie made us go What I'll start with you Braga Yeah One thing they just kept They kept going back to the bar The speakeasy That they had on site I assume In the hotel Yeah that's right It just bugged me That they have this Beautiful speakeasy That's just not being used During a huge fashion week Yeah The first time that he brought it up And he was like This used to be a speakeasy I'm like well clearly It's being used for something now And then they It just is abandoned Yeah Empty Empty Fully stocked Lights work Sound works

[00:30:32] Fully stocked Lights work Sound works We can't use it Not here Space is not a big deal Especially in big cities Like Chicago There's plenty of space Too much of it You don't need it

[00:30:41] You don't need it Yeah So to that point

[00:31:11] Why couldn't we have Like a Hallmark mystery Starting where you don't See the face But you just see the torso Yeah Of somebody With like black gloves And they're stealing the thing And they leave That would have been fun Right Because there was already One earlier Yeah So why not show that Yeah You could have For sure And no And absolutely no clues That it was his That his boss had a problem With the promotion Yeah there was no way To fill it out There was no way To even figure it out There was no way It was not about It's just a bad thing I didn't think about The bodyguard

[00:31:40] Of that random person That she had Experience with That one time And the last I'll stop on this one He All right Thank you He just didn't look Like a Mills To me Like a Mills Is a very weird It's not a common name It's not weird It's not You're saying It's his last name I don't know No it's his last name Oh it is So he says I'm you know Whatever Mills You can call him Oh okay That I'm a moron Yeah Because He's a military guy

[00:32:09] Of course he goes By his last name I just the whole movie I'm thinking Mills He doesn't look Like a Mills To me So Since I messed that one up I'll just end on this one Oh wow Her boss Showed up And then Left Right Like she went to the hotel And she's like I'm leaving You're on your own Would we have been upset If she had just called Like did she have to go It feels like Almost a wasted scene To have her show up To explain all this Which she could have done it From the car 100% I will say this though You're right She could have done that

[00:32:39] I should have mentioned this In the feels Or as a positive This movie The boss being like Super positive Chill and encouraging Was great Yeah Like we're so used to Devil Wears Prada Level of Fashion designers Are all just mean And awful And I love the fact That she was like Go do your thing Fly I think there's a happy medium here No I loved how chill she was Because she lost An Elizabeth Taylor dress Like there is a Devil Wears Prada And then there is

[00:33:07] Oh we lost an Elizabeth Taylor dress Such is life The whole vibe of her Going like I support you And like things happen The dress can still be A big deal And you have an Understanding boss She did not seem like It was a big deal Is all I'm saying That's fair Yeah Which is I wrote it down I'm not convinced Celine cares About her About her own business Wow I almost thought She was involved And then That's the thing Like Imagine if she were Like Dan I know you're not familiar With Elizabeth Taylor Like Brian Not Brian But like

[00:33:36] If you have an Elizabeth Taylor dress In your possession And it goes missing There'd be A bigger It'd be a bigger deal For you Well my Celine is off Where is she She has to go She's going to Paris Yeah So she has something She's doing Yeah My problem with The reaction to the dress Wasn't with Celine It was with our two leads Because the priceless dress Is missing And they go get ice cream Yeah Like immediately Yes That's what they do They go and get ice cream But that's how two leads In a Homebook movie Would react But like

[00:34:05] It's her job to find it Celine trusts her implicitly Yeah Okay You'll find it No big deal I can buy that I can't buy Oh my gosh My job's on the line My blah blah blah Elizabeth Taylor's dress Is missing Yeah Should we go for a scoop That was tougher for me Well how about this one From Celine though When Celine is talking To her on the phone And Celine goes I hear it's a wonderful day In Chicago Have you got a hot dog yet Don't ask for ketchup That's because ketchup Isn't on Chicago hot dogs Really? Yes No you do not ask for ketchup I had no idea

[00:34:35] I was like What's this woman doing Chicago dogs have all kinds Of fun things on them Like celery salts Tomatoes So I'm out on Chicago You're out They're delightful That was crazy to me No no no Don't ask for ketchup A Chicago dog has no ketchup On it whatsoever So if I go to Chicago And I ask for ketchup What are they going to give me I mean they'll make you one Yeah it's still But like I'll show I have one at the White Sox ballpark And it was I took the tomatoes off Because they were just Too much tomato I just want ketchup And mustard Look at a Hallmark Getting it right Yes And even when they get it right

[00:35:05] It's wrong Because I don't I had no idea That's a Chicago dog That's too much Pickles Dude Pickles Cilantro I gotta tell you No it's dill But it It's like a dill relish Is that a sesame seed bun Sesame roll But they have celery salt And the celery salt Is so good And then they got mustard On there I didn't know tomatoes But aside from that It was so good Yeah Yeah it's Dragged through the garden Yellow mustard Chopped white onions Bright green Sweet pickle relish

[00:35:33] Tomato slices or wedges Dill pickle spear Pickled sport peppers And a dash of celery salt Is there a spear in there? Ketchup strictly forbidden Wow So like that is a very much a Well then kudos to my girl Celine She got it right And then someone just texted me That Oh not someone Aaron Shea just messaged me Some places in Chicago Will not serve you Hot dog with ketchup At the ballpark Yeah They would 100% serve you With ketchup Although a Chicago dog You wouldn't get Ketchup wouldn't be near You wouldn't get near it Correct You wouldn't get near it

[00:36:03] Celine loves her hot dogs Lisa in the chat says No hot dogs should have ketchup on it And you know what Lisa I agree with you I disagree with you No I only want ketchup on it No that's disgusting I know how I stand I'm a hot dog Ketchup Mustard on brat Sausage on brat So weird Because hot dog on brat Sausage It's a different thing Yeah I need the spice to go with the spice And then the sweet to go with the sweet It's clear This guy who was He wasn't the dress thief But he was the jewel thief They don't make a big enough deal

[00:36:32] That he's doing like slight of hand here Like he's taking stuff off of people While they're wearing it He is taking ring out of guy's jacket As he's wearing it before proposing This guy is crazy good Yeah Like And we didn't get to see any of it We didn't get to see one time Him slip something off someone's neck Or go into the pocket or something Nope Crazy Yeah Because the way that he was still It wasn't like he was sneaking into Someone's room

[00:37:01] Like the dress thief did He's taking it off their bodies Off their person Wow What a guy Yeah What a guy Next level Next level pickpocket Next level pickpocket Saw them live Yeah Really good Dano Yeah At one point our lead says She missed three different college roommates Weddings for fashion week I'm sorry What? So do your roommates all hate you Or each other? You mean to tell me

[00:37:30] Three different times On the same exact There are 52 weeks in the year Are there still? Believe it or not On the same exact week of the year Three different years One of your college roommates Said I'm getting married on this week Right? That means One person did it Okay That happens You're not the most important thing You have a fashion Blah blah blah You missed it The next college roommate goes They probably all know each other

[00:37:59] So now they've got to invite One person that's in fashion And one person who's already Celebrating their anniversary Yeah On fashion week And then a third one Decides to join in That is not bad luck Someone is planning Like just Planning against you As a human being For how many college roommates Do you have? I mean I had maybe five Over the course of all my time In college Four Like three of your college roommates All got married On the same week of the year

[00:38:28] Guys I mean there's different fashion weeks Throughout the year She said fashion week singular Right Like there is one She went It's the Cosmo The Cosmo What is happening? They learned that a priceless dress Is missing They go get ice cream Fair The next time she sees him Is at this party And he says Can I interest you in a drink? I just get the feeling You haven't had the chance To relax Since you've gotten here Sir You just got ice cream with her

[00:38:57] There's a dress missing And you went from ice cream To beverages All she's done is relax But I think it's important To remember Dan That what were they doing While they were eating Their ice cream Walking That's stressful Right It's dripping You know You gotta eat that ice cream fast Just cause it's ice cream Doesn't necessarily mean relaxing Relaxing Oh my gosh And I think he could pick up on that Cause Mills is a sensitive soul Yeah he picked up on that Mills is a sensitive soul He's a sensitive soul He gets it He says Do you want an Italian beef?

[00:39:26] And she looks very confused And then he says It's a sandwich Ma'am what'd you think it was? Like you're in a restaurant You don't want to know What she thought it was Like I don't like And you know what I will say this A Chicago Italian beef sandwich Is better than a Chicago hot dog In my opinion It's perfect Hot jardinier Hot jardinier No no no Dipped in au jus Hot jardinier That's it Nothing else You know I love au jus Amazing Amazing sandwich I still Like man

[00:39:55] I had three or four in Chicago That I all loved very much How's it different from a french dip? Well If you Depending on how you order it You can get the whole sandwich dipped Oh Before And then they wrap it up It's super messy The jardinier Is how it differs from a french dip You don't need cheese on the sandwich You can put it on But you don't need it Spicy jardinier It's like Been fermented It's crunchy and cold For Brian what is that? What's jardinier for Brian? I just want to say thanks It's a pickled relish But it's got like stuff You would not

[00:40:25] Like that you would think I would not even like But it's like carrots Cauliflower All these things That are pickled And super crunchy And they're spicy There's peppers in there But it all works It's amazing Alright And the best thing this movie does Is not show that sandwich They get it They know they're in Chicago Unlike everyone from home That's ever made a movie In Philadelphia Who's like Well we gotta show a cheesesteak No you don't They mention Chicago dog They mention Italian beef sandwich And all I had to do Was picture in my head These two amazing sandwiches And they didn't show either one

[00:40:54] Because they were smart enough To not show them Good on them Great job She goes into some store Where she knows the owner Yeah And finds this silk That's been dyed You guys remember this scene? Oh heck yeah That's very very important And she's like This should be You know Priceless Yeah it's priceless And the woman's like A hundred dollars And she's like You don't understand And then the woman Who's selling her this says You're probably the only person In Chicago That knows this There's just no world Where a fashion assistant

[00:41:23] Is the only one in Chicago That can pick this out That's not Chicago's big place Very multicultural A lot of very big experts Are in Chicago You can't just say things like this That's all I've got Time for what the hallmark Is where we wonder What could have been Maybe I have to This clarity question We still have One of I think All of ours Is what is Timmy Tuberic Seven through one But we're not gonna get We're not gonna get to this Sorry and he left I'll start with you Bri guy What questions you still got Yeah there was something Going on in this movie

[00:41:52] With year numbers With the number of years With year numbers Year numbers Years So early on She I think we just say years Yeah I think That's probably the way From the top There's something going on In this movie With year numbers You know what My collar came down Pop that collar back up Something with the years Oh So years She's wearing a shirt She's wearing a shirt That says 1976 Vintage 1976 Correct Then somebody else Is wearing a shirt With 1989 on it

[00:42:22] And then she's wearing A shirt with 44 And those are the only three That I caught And wrote down I'm sure there are more That I missed What is up with the numbers The years What is up What does that mean Yeah because Lindsay's Her character's not Born in 76 right I don't think so So what is a vintage Right 1976 So what is up With those numbers Yeah Yeah I don't know Very very Something's up with it Something's up with it It's a conspiracy I like that Mine is Who got more time The jewel thief

[00:42:51] Or the Elizabeth Taylor Elizabeth Taylor I almost said Berkeley Elizabeth Taylor dress Jesse Spann That would be a big deal Who do you think Got more time Because he stole multiple jewels But the Oh in jail Yes in jail But the Elizabeth Taylor dress Is like You know Museum They say it's You know You can't What is it When you can't Put a price on it Yeah priceless Priceless Yeah You can't put It's year numbers So what do you guys think Who got more time in jail

[00:43:20] Well if we count your numbers The jewel The jewel guy Really I was going to say the dress Oh See this is why It's a good one Yeah That's a good one Yeah It's a good one We're not going to ever find out Ever Both actually Quitted great lawyer Wow Amazing That's Chicago Classic Chicago Criminal Chicago If you can't Place the jewel Then you have to Release You'll Lament you back Into society Sure I'm going to go

[00:43:50] Jewel thief Because of the Multiple Nature of it Yeah Multiple nature of it Your numbers That's right Yeah Dan This movie was written By Holly Gintz Yes Thank you for mentioning She has never Written a Hallmark movie You know what she has written A bunch of cool stuff Three Richard Linklater movies Uh huh The Academy Award Nominated director Of Boyhood School of Rock And many many more Yeah Written that Richard Linklater Did she write School of Rock She has three No she did not Three writing credits

[00:44:18] All Richard Linklater Movies And now she has written Mmhmm A Hallmark movie I just want To talk to this This person I want to know Her story It appears she wrote Those three with Richard Linklater And her husband Fascinating It is And I'll say this To her if she's listening I think most of the Critiques that we have About this movie Are not about What she did No I think That's a lot Like even that Scene early on So I I clocked how quick The uh Meet cute was I was like

[00:44:48] That's interesting They do a scene Later where he Is talking to his Guys about How strict The security Has to be And how And that's when We find out About the promotion Yeah That scene to me Clearly was meant To be either The first or second Scene of the movie Before the meet Cute even happened Agreed Because he doesn't Even mention The other No The theft that had Happened Agreed So a lot of The weird stuff That happens here Structurally I don't think It's this I also think And I Just didn't know How to do this In the hot take

[00:45:18] But I Like the strength Of this movie Is it's writing I think the Marketing of this Movie As a heist Movie And the naming Of this movie And then some Of the contrivances Needed for Hallmark Are a problem But the writing And the way That these two Adults talk to each Other as they're Falling for each Other is excellent So I would love Her story And I'd love To see more Work from her Okay Fair enough It's time for Double Decker Of the week Everybody Thank you Double Decker Of the week Week Week Week
