Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yes, we need to get our shit together.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We keep saying we're going to meet about that and
then we keep not meeting aboutthat.
But we would love to be able to, like I don't know, add some
like extra fun stuff and andalso support our producer.
Yes, Walker, who's sograciously doing this?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
helps us with our podcast and we might even have
him on the Patreon episodes.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, that's the plan , that's the plan, so stay tuned
for that.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Maybe we'll get our shit together by the new year.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's a good goal.
Yeah, post holiday, stay tunedeveryone.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Speaking of holiday.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Speaking of holiday we have a special treat because
and actually when we firststarted talking about doing a
podcast, or like throughouttalking about doing a podcast, I
would often be like, should wejust do like a Hallmark movie
review podcast?
And Caroline said no, that thatwould be putting us too much in
a box, and I think you wereright, thanks, but we love our
(01:33):
movies and we are going to dolike a little review in December
of a holiday movie we haven'tdecided which one yet.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, we got to pick like the worst one.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
We love that one already that you're like.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, I swear to God, this one's the worst.
Send it to us, yes, Becausethat maybe that's what we do.
We like watch a bunch of themand then rank them.
That will that will maybe takesome years off of our lives.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That would be fun though, I know, and we also, so
we, yeah, we definitely want todo a review of one.
I've tossed the idea around ofCaroline and I doing a special
Christmas episode where we finda script narrative wants us to
read a script and read a scriptI think it would be really fun.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It could be, especially the one that you sent
me the other day which onewhere they just like throw some
wild.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I'm telling you, I would love to do some acting,
okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Maybe that'll be a well.
I guess that would be too latefor Patreon, but we're putting a
lot of stuff in the Patreonbucket.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That does not exist yet, but anyway, so we might be
acting, don't?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
tell people that they're going to stop listening.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
But tonight we are going to kick off our episode by
reading you a very cherishedlist of movies that do not exist
, that we wish did a few yearsago, at least three years ago,
maybe more than three years.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know maybe five.
I wonder if I can see thehistory of the note.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Our Caroline and I and our friend Caroline, we're
sitting around talking aboutHallmark movies, I guess, and
then just decided to like comeup with names of what should be
Hallmark movies, and this islike if this list ever got
deleted I would be so sad.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So now we'll have an audio yes, because we refer back
to it all the time.
I've had people text me and askme for it which.
I'm like, what are you doingwith this?
Yeah steal my idea If you comeout with one of these movies and
don't give me credit for thetitle, I will come after you.
So, um, yeah, should we go backand forth?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, okay, Okay we need a title for this list, but
I know we do.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Every time I look for it, I'm like we rest is still
unwritten Okay okay.
So first one is also I'm goingto say Colin, a lot, no, that
I'm talking about the two dots,and then in one of them I'm not.
Okay, let's go, I'll try andI'll try and I'll go first.
(04:12):
Okay, okay, santa's last ride,colin, a Christmas rapture.
Some of these are so dumb.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Next up is Santa the salesman.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, santa surgery.
Colin, a tinsel Colin, that'ssomeone I was referring to
Santa's favorite helper.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I think these get kind of porny.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
They do a seat on Santa's lap.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Jingle my balls.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
What would that movie even be about?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It doesn't matter, that's totally a porno.
Yeah, okay, most of these arethe magical tree, Colin, a very
witchy Christmas.
Making that gingerbread, colin,a bakery tail.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Five golden swings.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Five golden rings, colin, a very Mormon Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Swinging with Santa, like why, okay, were we high?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
like what is no, we weren't, we weren't.
That's what makes it so muchbetter.
This probably isn't funny toanyone else?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's definitely like.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I had to be their situation.
Okay, the next one is astocking, a stocking full of
farts.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Like why did we think that that was funny?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I don't know.
I still think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And clearly we're like both silent laughing.
I don't know what this one'strying to say.
Last great on Christmas that noidea, something's wrong.
So I'll go to the next one AChristmas casket.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Santa's funeral.
Colin Hanukkah's revenge.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Mary Chardonnay, colin, a wine.
Oh, it's Christmas, a cardboardChristmas, I think that one was
about like someone living onthe street.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The next one is Small Christmas Colin from the eyes
of a miniature horse.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
A Christmas cruise Officer, Claus Um or Cop Claus,
Cop, Cat Colin no no Cat Cop.
Oh Cat Cop Colin, the ChristmasCat comma and Cop.

The next one, cat Claus, colinSanta's Cat.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Murder, no Mystery, murder, sex and Santa, what the
heck.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
What is that?
That cannot be.
And then we came up with a.
Something got messed up in ournotes.
Somebody edited this.
That wasn't supposed to.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Who was it?
It was one of y'all listeningto our podcast, because only our
friends listened to thispodcast.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The very last one.
Thank you for sticking throughthat list.
That was kind of cringy.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
The last one is Krampus vs Claus.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That was a new addition, krampus, yeah, because
Jay went through this phasewhere, like for three years, in
a row.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He made us watch Krampus.
Yeah, it's so bad.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And it has what's that we need to have.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Shanika, come back and review Krampus.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh my gosh.
Yes, because it is so weird.
But it has good people in it.
Why is?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Adam Scott in it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I don't know.
I've never seen Adam Scott.
Well, okay, correct me if I'mwrong.
I'm like.
The only other thing I've seenhim in other than Parks and Rec
is Krampus and then some othermovie where he has a micro penis
and he's in Severance.
That's like a big good showright now.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I stopped watching it , though, because it's like only
fluorescent lighting, and itreally made me sad.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, bad for the soul.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Are you, and not even in like a ooh, I have to have
good lighting way, but like whenyou watch TV, if, Like, I had
to stop watching Ozark becauseit's so dark, Like I couldn't
but like dark as in lighting,yeah the lighting, like the
whole.
The way it's edited is like allvery dark.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't love a dark show.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And then, like in Severance, it's all like, very
like office lighting, like Icouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And then when it's not office lighting.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's very dark.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm trying to think of another show.
I haven't seen either of those.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't know.
I think it's like romcoms inthe Disney Channel that just
conditioned my like entertainingentertainment brain for like
only wanting the highestexposure.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Anyway, Hallmark movies.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
What's your favorite one ever?
Christmas and Christmas I wasgonna say?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
the thing is, is that there's?
I love Hallmark Christmasmovies, but I also love like
this is totally different, butlike a lifetime thriller.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, I've never seen a lifetime thriller.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Oh my gosh Mayor.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
A lifetime thriller is like, is that?
A lifetime specialty LikeHallmark's got Christmas and
Lifetime's got thrillers.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I think so.
If I could have my idealevening to myself, it would be
like take out lifetime thriller.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I didn't know that about you and probably a friend
with me.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So like that, leanne and I, every time we hang out,
we're always looking for like abad thriller.
Because it's like just scaryenough to get you on the edge of
your seat, but like so bad thatit's not that scary.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, it's like the perfect message Low-risk, high
reward.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, last time I went to Disney with one of my
good friends.
We watched this Lifetime movieand we both fell asleep and to
this day we're still like whathappened at the end of that.
Lifetime movie and we willnever remember the name of it oh
shoot.
And if we look it up, therewill be 15 others, just like it.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh yeah, like the plot, they're never original.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Anyways, back to Christmas.
Yes, my favorite.
I don't know, do you have oneright off the top of your head?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, I mean, I think, when I like, enjoyed.
I feel like I think the moviethat got me onto Hallmark
Christmas isn't even a Hallmark,it's Netflix, but A Christmas
Prince.
Oh my gosh we watched thattogether.
That whole series is just likeHis haircut.
Yeah, there's one part wherethe haircut is.
It gets me rolling it is so bad.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Like I paused it, We'll have to post a picture of
a haircut and stared at it forso long I was with you.
I know I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's cut like two inches above his ears, like.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I've never seen a haircut like that before.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So, I don't know, like I don't go back and watch
that one, but I think I was likeI thoroughly enjoyed it.
One that I watched last yearthat, like, I think is like the
worst one I've ever seen, butlike, in the best way, this
might be my favorite.
It's the one with BrookeShields I what's it called, I
can't remember.
Like it is.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I also loved Phil and the low hand one.
See, I actually liked that one.
That one was so good.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I loved that one.
Remember the one, I don't knowhow to categorize why I liked
affection for these movies,because they're all different.
It's like Lindsay Lohan I likeactually really liked that one.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
The Brooke Shields one I like love to hate it yeah,
well, that's why we have therating system, yeah we need them
come up with the rating system.
We have it.
It's in my phone.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, we do.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, I don't remember making that it's like
an emoji rating system.
Oh, but we probably need tomake it a little more in depth.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah.
To figure out our likability ofa movie and why you like it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But okay, remember the one that we watched where
they're at the like they work atthat ski lodge.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yes, that what was it called?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I still don't know what it was called, but the
chemistry between the two maincharacters.
It was amazing, it was amazingMeredith, and I finished it and
looked them up and were like,please tell me they're in love
in real life, because that wasso real.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What was gosh?
It was called like it's notlike the in for Christmas one,
that's a different one, Fallingin love.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, was it falling in love?
But it's like falling in I andin, Was that it?
No, I think that's the LindsayLohan one.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Anyway, she falls.
Well, I'll have to figure itout, but that one was good.
It was about like the guy owneda hotel or she owned a hotel.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think he was the chef, wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I don't know they all run together.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Wait, okay, the worst one.
Oh, bless you.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The worst one that, like I, can't really even watch
was the one that we watched withBen and Hannah and they had
like the magical geckos and theguy from Hunger.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Games.
Oh, what is it he's?
She's like on a special mission, it's like Operation Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Operation Christmas drop.
Yes, that's what it was itmight like.
It makes me mad.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The whole time we were like the gecko Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And it's a plot hole.
He never find anything outabout the stupid magical gecko
that like shines in the light.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, that one was just genuinely bad.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
She okay.
So the premise, I mean, if youhaven't seen it, she's on a
special mission, she's a badassbet.
She like gets to this islandand she meets this boy.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Who loves Christmas?
Who loves?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Christmas and she hates Christmas.
That's why she's spending itaway from family because, she's
got, she's a working.
They really make, they likereally emphasize that.
And so he obviously lovesChristmas.
She obviously hates it.
There's a horribly cringy dancescene.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, that's like supposed to be.
She's like supposed to be a baddancer, but like.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It doesn't translate well.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's.
The level that she takes it tois, like beyond what she was
intending.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, it's bad.
It's cringy on her own person.
I think she's actually a baddancer in real life.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
No, I don't know it was.
I just think she overcommittedto the role.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, yeah, it was bad.
It makes me very uncomfortablewhen I think about it.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But the end, wait, wait, what?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
So the whole thing is that they're trying to drop
Christmas presents tounderprivileged children.
Oh yeah, she meets some of thelocals which like we don't know
what kind of island this is, but, like you think, it's like a
Pacific Island for a minute andthen all of a sudden all the
kids are like speaking Spanish.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
But then, like it flashes back to another scene
and it's like a Pacific Islandagain.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And so they're not clear about like where this
island is or who theseunderserved people are.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, no, it doesn't matter, they're just.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
They're just, they're like needy children.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And she.
There is a scene where shemeets the children and she just
starts like pulling everythingout of her purse.
All the shit and gum wrappersout of her purse To give to them
and she's like here's my usedhairbrush, here's a marker that
doesn't have a lid anymore, andthey're just like thanking her
for her purse shit.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, and she just they did her a favor and it's
supposed to make her seem likeshe's so generous.
They cleaned out her purse.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They cleaned out her purse, but it's supposed to make
her seem generous and she justlooks really it's bad.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, it is bad.
And my favorite part, which I'mgoing to we're spoiling this
because we know how every likemovie ends.
Basically, this one's calledoperation Christmas drop.
The whole thing is they're likedropping a bunch of toys to
children, but the best part isthat they do the drop and they
drop the box of toys in theocean.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And then make the children swim out.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You don't see the kids swim out to it, but you're
like they didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
they're not even like near where the waves would
brush it to shore and also likethey're they spend days wrapping
these fucking presents and thenthey just drop, drop them in
the water, like and they werejust with the kids.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They were just with the kids like two days ago.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Could they not have hand delivered?
They could have hand delivered.
Yes, it was the dumbest movie,but like somehow we're still
thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I forgot about it until just now.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
But okay, so there's like requirements for watching a
Hallmark movie with us.
It's like you have to love tohate it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
If you just hate it it's not fun, it's not fun.
Like we've watched it withsomeone that like was just like
partying on it and being a partypooper the whole time and we're
all like shitting on it andlaughing.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And she was like shitting on it and like being
annoyed that we were watching it.
And I'm like no, that's not thepoint.
Yeah, that's not the game, thegame is that it sucks and we
make fun of it yeah, and enjoydoing that, not hate doing that.
Yeah, the same with thebachelor.
So if you want to watch any ofthose things with us, you have
(17:10):
to love talking shit.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, we didn't you try to watch the bachelor with
someone that like took it tooseriously.
And they were like mad at youbecause you talked through the
whole thing, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't remember who that was, but yeah, I think it
was like one of your very goodfriends.
I honestly don't remember, butthere's yeah, it's like a tight,
but there's two different typesof people.
Yeah, it's like either you'rein it which the people who take
the bachelor seriously are notin the same caliber as people
who take Hallmark movieseriously, but you worked with
someone who took Hallmark movieseriously.
(17:41):
Very seriously, she loved them,loved them, but like genuinely.
Genuinely yes, and not like.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It wasn't like, oh gosh, I just love them.
It's so unrealistic.
But, like you know, it was likea true, genuine love which,
honestly, I get nothing gets youin the holiday spirit.
Yeah, like a Hallmark movie.
Yeah, some fake ass snow.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I think my favorite thing about the Hallmark movie I
was going to say is like is thesets?
Yeah, because it's always in.
Like the more suburban, like 20minutes outside of Atlanta, the
set, the better the better.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Like if you can tell that they are filming it in July
in like a the video we saw theother day where they literally
laid some white sheets on thegrass and you could literally
tell that it was a sheet and itwas a movie set.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And there's another one we watched.
I can't remember what it is butthere was one we watched that
like there was not a single treeskirt on any of the Christmas
trees and there were Christmastrees in every single scene and
not a single tree had a skirt onit.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Like who was the the?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
inattention.
Inattention, is that a word?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Is that is like lack of a lack of detail is my
favorite part.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I love it so much.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I know, I know it's so good.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's so like and like the more.
Like giant carbos.
They can fit into a set Yep,Like I just I love it.
I love it and I always, amconstantly wondering like do the
people that work on thesemovies hate their jobs?
Do they love them because theyknow how ridiculous it?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
is Candice Cameron loves her job or do?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
they love it because they think they're doing like
good, good like creatingsomething good.
Like I just I would love toknow.
I mean, I'm assuming.
For a lot of people it's justlike work.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, like all the crew and stuff, they're just
like taking a job and youprobably just like do what's
required, which is very little Imean not work wise they're
working very hard but I justmean like design wise.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Then budget wise and budget wise.
Yeah, it's low.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And.
But I'm like think about theactors we see Candice Cameron.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Who takes it so seriously, I've never seen her
in anything.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I haven't either and I don't really want to because
she is problematic.
But she like won't work withHallmark anymore because they
work with the gays.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, she stopped.
She like went to her ownchannel which was like what's
her channel?
It's like the AmericanChristian.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
She made a channel.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I don't know she just like solely works with this one
channel now because Hallmarkmade LGBTQ plus focused movie.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Interesting, so is everyone else.
She's been working in showbizher whole life.
How has she avoided this?
I?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
But so she's one of the stars that we see.
And then the girl from MeanGirls, gretchen Wieners.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yes, she has a new one this year.
They talked about it on theMacy's Day Parade.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I really want to see it.
She's a solid one.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then randomly the dude from Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Who was he?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I can't remember, but Ben was like very he was like
one of the contestant, one ofthe hot guys in Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I know who Yep, yeah, he's not in them frequently.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And then there's Netflix Hallmark movies.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And then there's Hallmark.
Hallmark movies See my theoryis that Hallmark started out
doing it wholeheartedly and thenit took on its own thing, and
then Netflix was like oh, peoplereally like this yes, let's go,
let's do it, and let's knowthat it's bad.
Like I think Hallmark is veryearnest, or at least started out
(21:27):
very earnest, in their mission.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And I think Netflix has known all along that this is
a moneymaker.
How many movies do you thinkthat there are Hallmark movies,
like how many Hallmark Christmasmovies?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I feel like porn stars and Hallmark actresses are
kind of the same in terms ofhow many movies they do.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It's like.
Also, I feel like I need toclarify that me saying the gaze
was Candice.
Cameron Was making fun ofCandice Cameron, and not because
I think that that's what shouldbe said.
How many Hallmark Christmasmovies are there?
Let's, let's do a little likeever dive.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Let me guess.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Oh, there are 42 new ones for 2023.
42.
42 new Hallmark movies just forthis holiday season.
Do you think they?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
shoot them in like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
For sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I don't know, man, if I wasn't.
That's, that's great money.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I know I mean because people love and it's quick.
I mean, look at us, we'resitting here talking about it on
a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
OK, what did you think by the Princess Switch?
There's a lot of those two,vanessa, vanessa.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Hudgens, I think I watched the first one and had
had enough.
I don't think I watched thesecond one.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Maybe I tried to watch the second one with you.
No, that's the whole premise ofthe whole thing.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
She had a twin and all it went in and out of my
brain.
I don't even remember what itwas about.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
No, the first one was good.
No, no, no.
The.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Princess Switch is the one where she goes to the
castle and the there's a girl,the little sister that she bonds
with.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
No, that's that you're thinking of Christmas,
Prince yeah, damn it, thatlittle sister man.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I know she's the best part of the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I love a Switch movie though.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I can't go wrong, can't go wrong?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
OK, is it true that Freaky Friday is?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
coming back, Coming back.
I think so Because.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Jamie Lee Curtis posted about it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Jamie Lee Curtis posted a picture with Lindsay
Lowe right and was like rightback baby yeah.
Ok, but then Netflix I just sawtoday is I saw a preview
they're putting out a moviecalled the Family Switch and it
had Jennifer Garner in it.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I saw that too for a minute.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
How is that like going to be good?
It's going to be good, I don'tknow.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I like I like, saw it come on my homepage and thought
is that Jennifer Garner?
And then went to.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I know I said that like not super confidently,
because I know it's her, I thinkit's her.
I was like wait a minute butit's out now, right?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think so.
Netflix sponsored us.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I know Really promoting all of your new movies
, but yeah, we know everythingabout them and exactly when
they're coming out.
But yeah, I'm excited for thisyear's holiday season.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
There's so much to watch.
I want to, really want torewatch the Brooks Shields one.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
OK, I've already.
I've already, even before oreven before Thanksgiving,
watched the one I always call italways be my baby.
But it's not that one, it's.
The other is the cute one.
Oh my gosh that one.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
It's so good so that's not in the same category
of movies is actually very good.
That is such a good movie it'scalled.
It's like the two movies mixedtogether.
The one that everyone says is aChristmas movie, but it's not.
What is that movie?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Die Hard, yeah, love hard.
I just got that.
The movie title is theirfavorite movies combined.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yes, love actually in Die Hard.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I never got that.
Yeah, now I'll remember it.
Love hard.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
And then the other one that I loved was the one
with I want a hot dog real bad,what's that, what's her?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Jennifer Coolidge.
Oh, I love that one as thecrazy aunt or like the super art
.
I've already watched that oneagain too.
That one was so good I can'tremember the name.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Can't remember the name, but it was.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
This is two gay guys.
They're roommates and he goeshome with his roommate.
Don't spoil it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
If you guys haven't seen it, it is one that I will
watch every year.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
It's very sweet, jay was even like fully invested.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Jay invested in that one and love hard when they sing
.
Whenever they sing, maybe it'scold outside with consensual
language.
Jay and I were like this movieis so good, I know, anyway,
anyway, well, we will be backwith I think we should really do
(25:53):
like a ranking.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, yeah, well, come up with a ranking system,
so send us some bad homeworkmovies.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Christmas specifically.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Ones that you would like to like to have us discuss.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, and get our opinions on.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I'm very excited.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Also, okay, this one's not Christmas, but
remember that Netflix movie withthe girl from Nickelodeon when
she like is trying to be a wineperson and she like goes to the
Australian place Wait Disney.
No, she was a Nickelodeon star.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
She was previously.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, this movie.
I think about this often.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
And like he's hiding the secret that he's rich.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And then, like, the climax of the movie is her
finding out that he's rich andshe's pissed.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And I'm like like Jay could tell me 30 years into our
marriage.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I say this all the time.
Then I'm like Jay could tell me30 years into our marriage hey,
I'm sorry I haven't told you,but I'm a millionaire and I
would be like, okay, great.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, this is amazing , I know.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I mean I'm kind of mad you didn't tell me before.
But like I am, stoked.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
This is the best news ever.
This is the best news I've everreceived.
But yeah, and the movie.
You would have thought that hetold her that like he had like a
scape from jail for murderingsomeone, yes, yes, like she's
pissed, that he's rich, yeah,she's betrayed.
I'm like yeah, it makes nosense.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
And then she yeah, it comes around and they like live
happily ever after on hisvineyard.
They always, do they always doyeah.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
There's so much, it's like the trope of oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I think that's why we keep coming back.
You know what you're gettingand the drama is never gonna be
that dramatic, because then itwould be too stressful yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'm stressed every time.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You are.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm always stressed.
About what I mean not with thatone Cause I was like she's
freaking, annoying as hell, butlike the ones where they get in
the fight I typically do getstressed If I like the
characters at all, I'm stressed.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Even in a Hallmark movie, when you know what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I think so.
I'll have to test it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That could be another thing.
Sticks are so low.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
On our ranking system stress level.
Stress level Ooh, that's good.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Okay, it'll be like negative every time Not stressed
, but yeah, all, right All right, we will be back.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Thank you again.
This was the 20th episode.
This feels like we didn't doenough for it being 20 episodes.
Speaker 1 (28:25):

was gonna make us read a scripton our 20th episode and I think
that would have been reallyboring.

I know and you still want us to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, I don't know, Now I'm getting cold feet.
I think maybe people would bereally annoyed and bored.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Shit.
Yes, it is our 20th episode.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We have made it half of a year, woo.
So thank you to everyone thathas stuck along with us from the
beginning, and we'll continue.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We sure will.
Yes, also, we are going tostart a Patreon at some point.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yes, we need to get our shit together.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We keep saying we're going to meet about that and
then we keep not meeting aboutthat.
But we would love to be able to, like I don't know, add some
like extra fun stuff and andalso support our producer.
Yes, Walker, who's sograciously doing this?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
helps us with our podcast and we might even have
him on the Patreon episodes.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, that's the plan , that's the plan, so stay tuned
for that.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Maybe we'll get our shit together by the new year.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's a good goal.
Yeah, post holiday, stay tunedeveryone.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Speaking of holiday.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Speaking of holiday we have a special treat because
and actually when we firststarted talking about doing a
podcast, or like throughouttalking about doing a podcast, I
would often be like, should wejust do like a Hallmark movie
review podcast?
And Caroline said no, that thatwould be putting us too much in
a box, and I think you wereright, thanks, but we love our
(01:33):
movies and we are going to dolike a little review in December
of a holiday movie we haven'tdecided which one yet.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, we got to pick like the worst one.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
We love that one already that you're like.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, I swear to God, this one's the worst.
Send it to us, yes, Becausethat maybe that's what we do.
We like watch a bunch of themand then rank them.
That will that will maybe takesome years off of our lives.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That would be fun though, I know, and we also, so
we, yeah, we definitely want todo a review of one.
I've tossed the idea around ofCaroline and I doing a special
Christmas episode where we finda script narrative wants us to
read a script and read a scriptI think it would be really fun.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It could be, especially the one that you sent
me the other day which onewhere they just like throw some
wild.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I'm telling you, I would love to do some acting,
okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Maybe that'll be a well.
I guess that would be too latefor Patreon, but we're putting a
lot of stuff in the Patreonbucket.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That does not exist yet, but anyway, so we might be
acting, don't?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
tell people that they're going to stop listening.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
But tonight we are going to kick off our episode by
reading you a very cherishedlist of movies that do not exist
, that we wish did a few yearsago, at least three years ago,
maybe more than three years.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know maybe five.
I wonder if I can see thehistory of the note.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Our Caroline and I and our friend Caroline, we're
sitting around talking aboutHallmark movies, I guess, and
then just decided to like comeup with names of what should be
Hallmark movies, and this islike if this list ever got
deleted I would be so sad.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So now we'll have an audio yes, because we refer back
to it all the time.
I've had people text me and askme for it which.
I'm like, what are you doingwith this?
Yeah steal my idea If you comeout with one of these movies and
don't give me credit for thetitle, I will come after you.
So, um, yeah, should we go backand forth?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, okay, Okay we need a title for this list, but
I know we do.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Every time I look for it, I'm like we rest is still
unwritten Okay okay.
So first one is also I'm goingto say Colin, a lot, no, that
I'm talking about the two dots,and then in one of them I'm not.
Okay, let's go, I'll try andI'll try and I'll go first.
(04:12):
Okay, okay, santa's last ride,colin, a Christmas rapture.
Some of these are so dumb.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Next up is Santa the salesman.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, santa surgery.
Colin, a tinsel Colin, that'ssomeone I was referring to
Santa's favorite helper.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I think these get kind of porny.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
They do a seat on Santa's lap.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Jingle my balls.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
What would that movie even be about?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It doesn't matter, that's totally a porno.
Yeah, okay, most of these arethe magical tree, Colin, a very
witchy Christmas.
Making that gingerbread, colin,a bakery tail.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Five golden swings.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Five golden rings, colin, a very Mormon Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Swinging with Santa, like why, okay, were we high?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
like what is no, we weren't, we weren't.
That's what makes it so muchbetter.
This probably isn't funny toanyone else?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's definitely like.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I had to be their situation.
Okay, the next one is astocking, a stocking full of
farts.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Like why did we think that that was funny?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I don't know.
I still think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And clearly we're like both silent laughing.
I don't know what this one'strying to say.
Last great on Christmas that noidea, something's wrong.
So I'll go to the next one AChristmas casket.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Santa's funeral.
Colin Hanukkah's revenge.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Mary Chardonnay, colin, a wine.
Oh, it's Christmas, a cardboardChristmas, I think that one was
about like someone living onthe street.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The next one is Small Christmas Colin from the eyes
of a miniature horse.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
A Christmas cruise Officer, Claus Um or Cop Claus,
Cop, Cat Colin no no Cat Cop.
Oh Cat Cop Colin, the ChristmasCat comma and Cop.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Then why did we get so into cats?
The next one, cat Claus, colinSanta's Cat.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Murder, no Mystery, murder, sex and Santa, what the
heck.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
What is that?
That cannot be.
And then we came up with a.
Something got messed up in ournotes.
Somebody edited this.
That wasn't supposed to.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Who was it?
It was one of y'all listeningto our podcast, because only our
friends listened to thispodcast.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The very last one.
Thank you for sticking throughthat list.
That was kind of cringy.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
The last one is Krampus vs Claus.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That was a new addition, krampus, yeah, because
Jay went through this phasewhere, like for three years, in
a row.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He made us watch Krampus.
Yeah, it's so bad.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And it has what's that we need to have.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Shanika, come back and review Krampus.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh my gosh.
Yes, because it is so weird.
But it has good people in it.
Why is?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Adam Scott in it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I don't know.
I've never seen Adam Scott.
Well, okay, correct me if I'mwrong.
I'm like.
The only other thing I've seenhim in other than Parks and Rec
is Krampus and then some othermovie where he has a micro penis
and he's in Severance.
That's like a big good showright now.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I stopped watching it , though, because it's like only
fluorescent lighting, and itreally made me sad.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, bad for the soul.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Are you, and not even in like a ooh, I have to have
good lighting way, but like whenyou watch TV, if, Like, I had
to stop watching Ozark becauseit's so dark, Like I couldn't
but like dark as in lighting,yeah the lighting, like the
whole.
The way it's edited is like allvery dark.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't love a dark show.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And then, like in Severance, it's all like, very
like office lighting, like Icouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And then when it's not office lighting.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's very dark.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm trying to think of another show.
I haven't seen either of those.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't know.
I think it's like romcoms inthe Disney Channel that just
conditioned my like entertainingentertainment brain for like
only wanting the highestexposure.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Anyway, Hallmark movies.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
What's your favorite one ever?
Christmas and Christmas I wasgonna say?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
the thing is, is that there's?
I love Hallmark Christmasmovies, but I also love like
this is totally different, butlike a lifetime thriller.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, I've never seen a lifetime thriller.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Oh my gosh Mayor.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
A lifetime thriller is like, is that?
A lifetime specialty LikeHallmark's got Christmas and
Lifetime's got thrillers.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I think so.
If I could have my idealevening to myself, it would be
like take out lifetime thriller.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I didn't know that about you and probably a friend
with me.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So like that, leanne and I, every time we hang out,
we're always looking for like abad thriller.
Because it's like just scaryenough to get you on the edge of
your seat, but like so bad thatit's not that scary.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, it's like the perfect message Low-risk, high
reward.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, last time I went to Disney with one of my
good friends.
We watched this Lifetime movieand we both fell asleep and to
this day we're still like whathappened at the end of that.
Lifetime movie and we willnever remember the name of it oh
shoot.
And if we look it up, therewill be 15 others, just like it.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh yeah, like the plot, they're never original.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Anyways, back to Christmas.
Yes, my favorite.
I don't know, do you have oneright off the top of your head?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, I mean, I think, when I like, enjoyed.
I feel like I think the moviethat got me onto Hallmark
Christmas isn't even a Hallmark,it's Netflix, but A Christmas
Prince.
Oh my gosh we watched thattogether.
That whole series is just likeHis haircut.
Yeah, there's one part wherethe haircut is.
It gets me rolling it is so bad.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Like I paused it, We'll have to post a picture of
a haircut and stared at it forso long I was with you.
I know I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's cut like two inches above his ears, like.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I've never seen a haircut like that before.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So, I don't know, like I don't go back and watch
that one, but I think I was likeI thoroughly enjoyed it.
One that I watched last yearthat, like, I think is like the
worst one I've ever seen, butlike, in the best way, this
might be my favorite.
It's the one with BrookeShields I what's it called, I
can't remember.
Like it is.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I also loved Phil and the low hand one.
See, I actually liked that one.
That one was so good.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I loved that one.
Remember the one, I don't knowhow to categorize why I liked
affection for these movies,because they're all different.
It's like Lindsay Lohan I likeactually really liked that one.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
The Brooke Shields one I like love to hate it yeah,
well, that's why we have therating system, yeah we need them
come up with the rating system.
We have it.
It's in my phone.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, we do.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, I don't remember making that it's like
an emoji rating system.
Oh, but we probably need tomake it a little more in depth.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah.
To figure out our likability ofa movie and why you like it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But okay, remember the one that we watched where
they're at the like they work atthat ski lodge.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yes, that what was it called?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I still don't know what it was called, but the
chemistry between the two maincharacters.
It was amazing, it was amazingMeredith, and I finished it and
looked them up and were like,please tell me they're in love
in real life, because that wasso real.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What was gosh?
It was called like it's notlike the in for Christmas one,
that's a different one, Fallingin love.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, was it falling in love?
But it's like falling in I andin, Was that it?
No, I think that's the LindsayLohan one.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Anyway, she falls.
Well, I'll have to figure itout, but that one was good.
It was about like the guy owneda hotel or she owned a hotel.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think he was the chef, wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I don't know they all run together.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Wait, okay, the worst one.
Oh, bless you.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The worst one that, like I, can't really even watch
was the one that we watched withBen and Hannah and they had
like the magical geckos and theguy from Hunger.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Games.
Oh, what is it he's?
She's like on a special mission, it's like Operation Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Operation Christmas drop.
Yes, that's what it was itmight like.
It makes me mad.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The whole time we were like the gecko Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And it's a plot hole.
He never find anything outabout the stupid magical gecko
that like shines in the light.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, that one was just genuinely bad.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
She okay.
So the premise, I mean, if youhaven't seen it, she's on a
special mission, she's a badassbet.
She like gets to this islandand she meets this boy.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Who loves Christmas?
Who loves?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Christmas and she hates Christmas.
That's why she's spending itaway from family because, she's
got, she's a working.
They really make, they likereally emphasize that.
And so he obviously lovesChristmas.
She obviously hates it.
There's a horribly cringy dancescene.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, that's like supposed to be.
She's like supposed to be a baddancer, but like.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It doesn't translate well.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's.
The level that she takes it tois, like beyond what she was
intending.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, it's bad.
It's cringy on her own person.
I think she's actually a baddancer in real life.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
No, I don't know it was.
I just think she overcommittedto the role.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, yeah, it was bad.
It makes me very uncomfortablewhen I think about it.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But the end, wait, wait, what?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
So the whole thing is that they're trying to drop
Christmas presents tounderprivileged children.
Oh yeah, she meets some of thelocals which like we don't know
what kind of island this is, but, like you think, it's like a
Pacific Island for a minute andthen all of a sudden all the
kids are like speaking Spanish.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
But then, like it flashes back to another scene
and it's like a Pacific Islandagain.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And so they're not clear about like where this
island is or who theseunderserved people are.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, no, it doesn't matter, they're just.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
They're just, they're like needy children.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And she.
There is a scene where shemeets the children and she just
starts like pulling everythingout of her purse.
All the shit and gum wrappersout of her purse To give to them
and she's like here's my usedhairbrush, here's a marker that
doesn't have a lid anymore, andthey're just like thanking her
for her purse shit.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, and she just they did her a favor and it's
supposed to make her seem likeshe's so generous.
They cleaned out her purse.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They cleaned out her purse, but it's supposed to make
her seem generous and she justlooks really it's bad.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, it is bad.
And my favorite part, which I'mgoing to we're spoiling this
because we know how every likemovie ends.
Basically, this one's calledoperation Christmas drop.
The whole thing is they're likedropping a bunch of toys to
children, but the best part isthat they do the drop and they
drop the box of toys in theocean.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And then make the children swim out.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You don't see the kids swim out to it, but you're
like they didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
they're not even like near where the waves would
brush it to shore and also likethey're they spend days wrapping
these fucking presents and thenthey just drop, drop them in
the water, like and they werejust with the kids.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They were just with the kids like two days ago.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Could they not have hand delivered?
They could have hand delivered.
Yes, it was the dumbest movie,but like somehow we're still
thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I forgot about it until just now.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
But okay, so there's like requirements for watching a
Hallmark movie with us.
It's like you have to love tohate it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
If you just hate it it's not fun, it's not fun.
Like we've watched it withsomeone that like was just like
partying on it and being a partypooper the whole time and we're
all like shitting on it andlaughing.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And she was like shitting on it and like being
annoyed that we were watching it.
And I'm like no, that's not thepoint.
Yeah, that's not the game, thegame is that it sucks and we
make fun of it yeah, and enjoydoing that, not hate doing that.
Yeah, the same with thebachelor.
So if you want to watch any ofthose things with us, you have
(17:10):
to love talking shit.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, we didn't you try to watch the bachelor with
someone that like took it tooseriously.
And they were like mad at youbecause you talked through the
whole thing, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't remember who that was, but yeah, I think it
was like one of your very goodfriends.
I honestly don't remember, butthere's yeah, it's like a tight,
but there's two different typesof people.
Yeah, it's like either you'rein it which the people who take
the bachelor seriously are notin the same caliber as people
who take Hallmark movieseriously, but you worked with
someone who took Hallmark movieseriously.
(17:41):
Very seriously, she loved them,loved them, but like genuinely.
Genuinely yes, and not like.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It wasn't like, oh gosh, I just love them.
It's so unrealistic.
But, like you know, it was likea true, genuine love which,
honestly, I get nothing gets youin the holiday spirit.
Yeah, like a Hallmark movie.
Yeah, some fake ass snow.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I think my favorite thing about the Hallmark movie I
was going to say is like is thesets?
Yeah, because it's always in.
Like the more suburban, like 20minutes outside of Atlanta, the
set, the better the better.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Like if you can tell that they are filming it in July
in like a the video we saw theother day where they literally
laid some white sheets on thegrass and you could literally
tell that it was a sheet and itwas a movie set.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And there's another one we watched.
I can't remember what it is butthere was one we watched that
like there was not a single treeskirt on any of the Christmas
trees and there were Christmastrees in every single scene and
not a single tree had a skirt onit.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Like who was the the?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
inattention.
Inattention, is that a word?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Is that is like lack of a lack of detail is my
favorite part.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I love it so much.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I know, I know it's so good.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's so like and like the more.
Like giant carbos.
They can fit into a set Yep,Like I just I love it.
I love it and I always, amconstantly wondering like do the
people that work on thesemovies hate their jobs?
Do they love them because theyknow how ridiculous it?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
is Candice Cameron loves her job or do?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
they love it because they think they're doing like
good, good like creatingsomething good.
Like I just I would love toknow.
I mean, I'm assuming.
For a lot of people it's justlike work.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, like all the crew and stuff, they're just
like taking a job and youprobably just like do what's
required, which is very little Imean not work wise they're
working very hard but I justmean like design wise.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Then budget wise and budget wise.
Yeah, it's low.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And.
But I'm like think about theactors we see Candice Cameron.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Who takes it so seriously, I've never seen her
in anything.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I haven't either and I don't really want to because
she is problematic.
But she like won't work withHallmark anymore because they
work with the gays.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, she stopped.
She like went to her ownchannel which was like what's
her channel?
It's like the AmericanChristian.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
She made a channel.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I don't know she just like solely works with this one
channel now because Hallmarkmade LGBTQ plus focused movie.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Interesting, so is everyone else.
She's been working in showbizher whole life.
How has she avoided this?
I?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
But so she's one of the stars that we see.
And then the girl from MeanGirls, gretchen Wieners.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yes, she has a new one this year.
They talked about it on theMacy's Day Parade.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I really want to see it.
She's a solid one.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then randomly the dude from Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Who was he?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I can't remember, but Ben was like very he was like
one of the contestant, one ofthe hot guys in Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I know who Yep, yeah, he's not in them frequently.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And then there's Netflix Hallmark movies.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And then there's Hallmark.
Hallmark movies See my theoryis that Hallmark started out
doing it wholeheartedly and thenit took on its own thing, and
then Netflix was like oh, peoplereally like this yes, let's go,
let's do it, and let's knowthat it's bad.
Like I think Hallmark is veryearnest, or at least started out
(21:27):
very earnest, in their mission.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And I think Netflix has known all along that this is
a moneymaker.
How many movies do you thinkthat there are Hallmark movies,
like how many Hallmark Christmasmovies?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I feel like porn stars and Hallmark actresses are
kind of the same in terms ofhow many movies they do.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It's like.
Also, I feel like I need toclarify that me saying the gaze
was Candice.
Cameron Was making fun ofCandice Cameron, and not because
I think that that's what shouldbe said.
How many Hallmark Christmasmovies are there?
Let's, let's do a little likeever dive.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Let me guess.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Oh, there are 42 new ones for 2023.
42.
42 new Hallmark movies just forthis holiday season.
Do you think they?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
shoot them in like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
For sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I don't know, man, if I wasn't.
That's, that's great money.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I know I mean because people love and it's quick.
I mean, look at us, we'resitting here talking about it on
a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
OK, what did you think by the Princess Switch?
There's a lot of those two,vanessa, vanessa.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Hudgens, I think I watched the first one and had
had enough.
I don't think I watched thesecond one.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Maybe I tried to watch the second one with you.
No, that's the whole premise ofthe whole thing.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
She had a twin and all it went in and out of my
brain.
I don't even remember what itwas about.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
No, the first one was good.
No, no, no.
The.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Princess Switch is the one where she goes to the
castle and the there's a girl,the little sister that she bonds
with.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
No, that's that you're thinking of Christmas,
Prince yeah, damn it, thatlittle sister man.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I know she's the best part of the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I love a Switch movie though.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I can't go wrong, can't go wrong?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
OK, is it true that Freaky Friday is?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
coming back, Coming back.
I think so Because.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Jamie Lee Curtis posted about it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Jamie Lee Curtis posted a picture with Lindsay
Lowe right and was like rightback baby yeah.
Ok, but then Netflix I just sawtoday is I saw a preview
they're putting out a moviecalled the Family Switch and it
had Jennifer Garner in it.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I saw that too for a minute.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
How is that like going to be good?
It's going to be good, I don'tknow.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I like I like, saw it come on my homepage and thought
is that Jennifer Garner?
And then went to.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I know I said that like not super confidently,
because I know it's her, I thinkit's her.
I was like wait a minute butit's out now, right?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think so.
Netflix sponsored us.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I know Really promoting all of your new movies
, but yeah, we know everythingabout them and exactly when
they're coming out.
But yeah, I'm excited for thisyear's holiday season.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
There's so much to watch.
I want to, really want torewatch the Brooks Shields one.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
OK, I've already.
I've already, even before oreven before Thanksgiving,
watched the one I always call italways be my baby.
But it's not that one, it's.
The other is the cute one.
Oh my gosh that one.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
It's so good so that's not in the same category
of movies is actually very good.
That is such a good movie it'scalled.
It's like the two movies mixedtogether.
The one that everyone says is aChristmas movie, but it's not.
What is that movie?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Die Hard, yeah, love hard.
I just got that.
The movie title is theirfavorite movies combined.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yes, love actually in Die Hard.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I never got that.
Yeah, now I'll remember it.
Love hard.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
And then the other one that I loved was the one
with I want a hot dog real bad,what's that, what's her?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Jennifer Coolidge.
Oh, I love that one as thecrazy aunt or like the super art
.
I've already watched that oneagain too.
That one was so good I can'tremember the name.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Can't remember the name, but it was.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
This is two gay guys.
They're roommates and he goeshome with his roommate.
Don't spoil it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
If you guys haven't seen it, it is one that I will
watch every year.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
It's very sweet, jay was even like fully invested.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Jay invested in that one and love hard when they sing
.
Whenever they sing, maybe it'scold outside with consensual
language.
Jay and I were like this movieis so good, I know, anyway,
anyway, well, we will be backwith I think we should really do
(25:53):
like a ranking.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, yeah, well, come up with a ranking system,
so send us some bad homeworkmovies.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Christmas specifically.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Ones that you would like to like to have us discuss.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, and get our opinions on.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I'm very excited.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Also, okay, this one's not Christmas, but
remember that Netflix movie withthe girl from Nickelodeon when
she like is trying to be a wineperson and she like goes to the
Australian place Wait Disney.
No, she was a Nickelodeon star.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
She was previously.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, this movie.
I think about this often.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
And like he's hiding the secret that he's rich.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And then, like, the climax of the movie is her
finding out that he's rich andshe's pissed.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And I'm like like Jay could tell me 30 years into our
marriage.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I say this all the time.
Then I'm like Jay could tell me30 years into our marriage hey,
I'm sorry I haven't told you,but I'm a millionaire and I
would be like, okay, great.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, this is amazing , I know.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I mean I'm kind of mad you didn't tell me before.
But like I am, stoked.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
This is the best news ever.
This is the best news I've everreceived.
But yeah, and the movie.
You would have thought that hetold her that like he had like a
scape from jail for murderingsomeone, yes, yes, like she's
pissed, that he's rich, yeah,she's betrayed.
I'm like yeah, it makes nosense.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
And then she yeah, it comes around and they like live
happily ever after on hisvineyard.
They always, do they always doyeah.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
There's so much, it's like the trope of oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I think that's why we keep coming back.
You know what you're gettingand the drama is never gonna be
that dramatic, because then itwould be too stressful yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'm stressed every time.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You are.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm always stressed.
About what I mean not with thatone Cause I was like she's
freaking, annoying as hell, butlike the ones where they get in
the fight I typically do getstressed If I like the
characters at all, I'm stressed.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Even in a Hallmark movie, when you know what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I think so.
I'll have to test it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That could be another thing.
Sticks are so low.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
On our ranking system stress level.
Stress level Ooh, that's good.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Okay, it'll be like negative every time Not stressed
, but yeah, all, right All right, we will be back.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Thank you again.
This was the 20th episode.
This feels like we didn't doenough for it being 20 episodes.
Speaker 1 (28:25):

was gonna make us read a scripton our 20th episode and I think
that would have been reallyboring.

I know and you still want us to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, I don't know, Now I'm getting cold feet.
I think maybe people would bereally annoyed and bored.
