A young widow daughter is given a tat
30
00:01:28,397 --> 00:01:31,506
old Christmas stocking at a holiday craft cell,
31
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:34,713
but her mother is sc of its magic
32
00:01:34,713 --> 00:01:37,109
when it seems to create small tri on
33
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:37,749
its own.
34
00:01:39,426 --> 00:01:41,920
David winning directed magic stocking, winning is a
35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,640
veteran film and television director. He currently has
36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,540
81
37
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:46,319
directing projects,
38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,719

39
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:51,544
Field Day. You, me and the Christmas trees
40
00:01:51,839 --> 00:01:54,780
and the 9 kittens of Christmas. The script
41
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:57,006
for this movie was written by Buddy Barron.
42
00:01:57,324 --> 00:01:58,698
Buddy has just 3
43
00:01:59,008 --> 00:02:02,026
screen writing credits and they are all Christmas
44
00:02:02,026 --> 00:02:05,601
movies. Magic stocking stars, Bridget Reagan as Lindsay.
45
00:02:06,172 --> 00:02:08,815
Hallmark Reagan also starred in the 2017
46
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:11,092
Christmas Getaway. She's been in a ton of
47
00:02:11,092 --> 00:02:13,488
other projects outside of the network like The
48
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:15,975
Rookie, Jane the virgin, grey's anatomy
49
00:02:16,349 --> 00:02:19,369
and white collar. And for myself, I realized
50
00:02:19,369 --> 00:02:20,561
a few minutes into this movie,
51
00:02:21,054 --> 00:02:22,191
that I was con
52
00:02:22,806 --> 00:02:23,783
Bridget Reagan
53
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:26,093
with the actress
54
00:02:26,946 --> 00:02:29,198
on the good witch who plays the sister.
55
00:02:29,909 --> 00:02:31,345
And they're not the same person.
56
00:02:32,543 --> 00:02:34,219
I I don't even know who you're referring.
57
00:02:34,777 --> 00:02:36,076
I bet you were gonna say
58
00:02:36,533 --> 00:02:38,151
Tom Brady ex bridget
59
00:02:38,783 --> 00:02:40,619
mo a han or tailing that?
60
00:02:41,816 --> 00:02:43,731
There is a similarity there though, Don't you
61
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:44,928
think so? Brunette.
62
00:02:46,777 --> 00:02:47,096
No.
63
00:02:47,971 --> 00:02:49,187
Oh, so
64
00:02:49,643 --> 00:02:50,598
not to z.
65
00:02:51,553 --> 00:02:54,020
Yeah a little bit. Okay. But I went
66
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:56,145
into this movie thinking this is
67
00:02:56,744 --> 00:02:59,301
Sarah Power who plays Abigail on the good
68
00:02:59,301 --> 00:03:01,059
witch. It's not. Got 2 different people.
69
00:03:02,497 --> 00:03:05,787
Nick Webster stars at Scott, we last saw
70
00:03:05,947 --> 00:03:08,338
Webster in 1 bad apple, a hannah once
71
00:03:08,338 --> 00:03:10,810
mystery, and while being a familiar face on
72
00:03:10,810 --> 00:03:12,883
the network he has been seen in other
73
00:03:12,883 --> 00:03:13,895
projects like
74
00:03:14,415 --> 00:03:15,375
working moms,
75
00:03:15,935 --> 00:03:18,735
min, and the Sci f series, mother land,
76
00:03:19,135 --> 00:03:20,094
Fort Salem.
77
00:03:20,415 --> 00:03:22,266
I have a fun fact. Tell me. You
78
00:03:22,266 --> 00:03:25,074
may not know about Victor Webster. He is
79
00:03:25,131 --> 00:03:27,439
6 5, so it says the Internet, and
80
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:28,871
you never believe what the Internet says.
81
00:03:29,444 --> 00:03:31,759
But 6 5 is that surprising to me.
82
00:03:32,238 --> 00:03:34,473
Tall drink of water. Yeah. He also has
83
00:03:34,473 --> 00:03:36,229
a cameo and you can get a message
84
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:39,114
from him starting at 55 dollars. Well, hey.
85
00:03:39,432 --> 00:03:41,340
Maybe you need, like, a okay of cameo
86
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:42,294
for your next birthday.
87
00:03:43,805 --> 00:03:45,737
Might the of that. I need
88
00:03:47,324 --> 00:03:48,942
That in love with Victor Webster?
89
00:03:50,121 --> 00:03:50,621
Yes.
90
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:53,717
Sorry. Okay. Go ahead. If I request a
91
00:03:53,717 --> 00:03:55,475
cameo from Tyler Hines, do you think I
92
00:03:55,475 --> 00:03:57,719
can also include in the request that he
93
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,107
must have something in his mouth like a
94
00:04:00,107 --> 00:04:02,017
toothpick. Does he have a Cameo account? And
95
00:04:02,176 --> 00:04:02,733
I don't know.
96
00:04:03,624 --> 00:04:06,119
I don't know. I bet he's making gay
97
00:04:06,576 --> 00:04:08,890
make money hand over fist if he did.
98
00:04:09,130 --> 00:04:10,885
My gosh. All the he would be like,
99
00:04:11,379 --> 00:04:12,580
Say name Tyler.
100
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,900
See my name, same my name.
101
00:04:19,230 --> 00:04:22,173
Worst stir crazy here. Christmas in July. Oh,
102
00:04:22,332 --> 00:04:25,457
he doesn't get on that Tyler. I
103
00:04:25,768 --> 00:04:27,040
he needs to take a book and and
104
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,130
money left on the table. Totally.
105
00:04:29,823 --> 00:04:31,674
Tote... How hard is it to
106
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,673
throw a little cameo video together.
107
00:04:35,484 --> 00:04:37,902
Make it worth your time price wise
108
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,497
and just collect those dollars. I mean, his
109
00:04:42,036 --> 00:04:44,362
management is not each let me tell you
110
00:04:44,362 --> 00:04:46,110
if we had the audience that was clamoring
111
00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:48,176
for it, I have absolutely no shame and
112
00:04:48,176 --> 00:04:50,321
we'd have a cameo account in an instant.
113
00:04:50,734 --> 00:04:54,250
In an instant. Earlier yeah. Iris Quinn appears
114
00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:56,807

00:04:59,458 --> 00:05:02,322
Like campfire fire Christmas opened by Christmas, raise
117
00:05:02,322 --> 00:05:04,073
a glass to love, and chesapeake speak shores.
118
00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:07,851
Fred Henderson plays mayor or Fred Henderson recently

Quinn. Danny Wat plays Reverend Blair. We recently

00:05:29,035 --> 00:05:30,794
saw Danny play the cab driver who seek
127
00:05:30,794 --> 00:05:33,528
cover doubles as a lamb costume in Science
128
00:05:33,528 --> 00:05:34,986
sealed delivered for Christmas.
129
00:05:35,604 --> 00:05:37,759

was most recently seen in carrot cake murder,
131

00:05:43,125 --> 00:05:43,845
men and a baby?
133
00:05:44,485 --> 00:05:47,125
Don't you love now seeing actors that you've
134
00:05:47,125 --> 00:05:49,925
seen on sign sealed? Guests. In your other
135
00:05:49,925 --> 00:05:52,970
movies. And never put those connections together before.
136
00:05:53,209 --> 00:05:54,562
No. I love it. I love it too.
137
00:05:54,801 --> 00:05:57,586
Image imaging tear plays hannah. She is probably
138
00:05:57,586 --> 00:06:00,384
best known for plane. Had in 3 seasons
139
00:06:00,384 --> 00:06:02,927
of wind calls the heart. Imaging is now
140
00:06:02,927 --> 00:06:05,311
20 years old and will appear in an
141
00:06:05,311 --> 00:06:06,979
upcoming movie called incoming.
142
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,636
Are you ready for first
143
00:06:10,087 --> 00:06:10,562
impressions.
144
00:06:11,910 --> 00:06:13,336
I feel like I need the... Let's get
145
00:06:13,336 --> 00:06:14,367
ready to rumble music.
146
00:06:15,413 --> 00:06:17,326
What's your first impression of this movie? This
147
00:06:17,326 --> 00:06:20,911
movie was the epitome of movies and missouri.
148
00:06:21,389 --> 00:06:22,983
My first impression is, I feel the Facebook
149
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:24,337
group has led us astra.
150
00:06:26,263 --> 00:06:28,570
Who's rumbling us with a facebook group.
151
00:06:30,162 --> 00:06:31,833
Yeah. And not you and I at all
152
00:06:31,833 --> 00:06:33,924
being no No. No No. No. That's
153
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:35,346
precisely.
154
00:06:36,456 --> 00:06:37,749
You know, it's funny because
155
00:06:38,121 --> 00:06:39,707
the way I take notes, I have, like
156
00:06:39,707 --> 00:06:41,373
an outline for these episodes. And as I'm
157
00:06:41,373 --> 00:06:43,610
watching it, I kinda drop things into each
158
00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:45,618
category, and then I go and
159
00:06:46,389 --> 00:06:47,898
reorganize after I'm done.
160
00:06:48,771 --> 00:06:50,065
And I sometimes
161
00:06:50,614 --> 00:06:52,452
use, like, the likes category it's just to
162
00:06:52,452 --> 00:06:53,331
catch on, and then I move it around.
163
00:06:53,490 --> 00:06:55,008
And then I realized all the things that
164
00:06:55,088 --> 00:06:57,006
I had put in my likes category aren't
165
00:06:57,006 --> 00:06:57,485
really likes.
166
00:06:58,059 --> 00:06:59,417
Oh, enter Mean.
167
00:07:00,216 --> 00:07:01,255
I mean, if I had to talk about
168
00:07:01,255 --> 00:07:03,491
what I liked about this movie, it's it's
169
00:07:03,491 --> 00:07:03,991
slim.
170
00:07:05,262 --> 00:07:05,978
I have to say.
171
00:07:06,774 --> 00:07:09,001
Okay. Let's get into. Let's get into it.
172
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:11,547
I have a few likes. Yeah.
173
00:07:12,356 --> 00:07:14,656
1 of my likes is simply written here.
174
00:07:15,053 --> 00:07:17,353
Victor Webster is smoking hot. Indeed.
175
00:07:19,753 --> 00:07:21,829
Like, I don't know why I'm like, fan
176
00:07:21,829 --> 00:07:24,144
girl so hard over him. Like, I he...
177
00:07:25,661 --> 00:07:27,817
I I don't... I'm sweating right now. I
178
00:07:27,817 --> 00:07:29,846
don't know. He's just so handsome.
179
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,999
You he's definitely 1 of my favorites. He's
180
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:36,414
so comfortable to watch. He just he's 1
181
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:37,073
of those
182
00:07:37,625 --> 00:07:38,745
like safe spaces.
183
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:41,625
Assigning all these attributes to him simply based
184
00:07:41,625 --> 00:07:42,264
on his acting,
185
00:07:42,904 --> 00:07:43,404
but
186
00:07:43,705 --> 00:07:46,919
this movement was 9 years ago. Yeah. And
187
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:50,116
I feel like he's gotten better. Yes. Agent
188
00:07:50,116 --> 00:07:52,034
like fine wine Totally Yes.
189
00:07:52,673 --> 00:07:55,231
Oh, gosh. Ginger disappointing emails to Megan and
190
00:07:55,231 --> 00:07:57,640
wendy at gmail. Nope. 2 girls gone hallmark
191
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,076
at gmail dot com. I just feel like
192
00:07:59,076 --> 00:08:00,431
people are gonna be like, oh, and they
193
00:08:00,431 --> 00:08:02,823
were just fang the wrote victor Webster. Sure.
194
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:04,578
That's fine. That's fair. You can leave that
195
00:08:04,578 --> 00:08:06,421
review. I like some of the pieces of
196
00:08:06,421 --> 00:08:08,481
this movie. I actually like Bridget reagan a
197
00:08:08,481 --> 00:08:11,017
lot. U, wendy doesn't. 0II
198
00:08:11,017 --> 00:08:12,126
enjoyed the actor. Yes.
199
00:08:13,014 --> 00:08:15,004
Hated her character. No me too. I just...
200
00:08:15,243 --> 00:08:17,552
I think they didn't come together. Like, I
201
00:08:17,552 --> 00:08:19,485
feel like they weren't given the right
202
00:08:19,941 --> 00:08:22,426
tools to work with. Or the tools were
203
00:08:22,426 --> 00:08:24,578
there, but the material, I don't know. I
204
00:08:24,578 --> 00:08:25,934
like Bridget Reagan.
205
00:08:26,891 --> 00:08:27,391
I
206
00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:29,681
think she could do a lot on hallmark.
207
00:08:29,921 --> 00:08:32,160
Obviously, she doesn't do a lot on homework.
208
00:08:32,398 --> 00:08:34,224
I would like to see her be given
209
00:08:34,224 --> 00:08:35,121
another chance
210
00:08:35,494 --> 00:08:35,994
because
211
00:08:36,606 --> 00:08:37,820
I think a lot of time
212
00:08:38,290 --> 00:08:41,009
the success of a movie is assigned to
213
00:08:41,009 --> 00:08:43,509
its lead actors. Yeah. And
214
00:08:44,050 --> 00:08:46,450
they can only do so much with the
215
00:08:46,450 --> 00:08:47,490
materials that they are given.
216
00:08:48,461 --> 00:08:48,961
And
217
00:08:49,813 --> 00:08:51,506
I don't feel like they were given quality
218
00:08:51,563 --> 00:08:52,518
material to work with.
219
00:08:54,506 --> 00:08:54,666
Okay.
220
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:58,018
Hey. What'd you think about Donna and Fred?
221
00:08:58,256 --> 00:09:00,163
I love Donna and Fred. Donna is the
222
00:09:00,163 --> 00:09:01,695
mom, fred the mayor? Yeah.
223
00:09:02,324 --> 00:09:04,318
I liked their little love story. Me too.
224
00:09:04,716 --> 00:09:06,413
I a really soft spot for Fred Henderson
225
00:09:06,471 --> 00:09:07,109
for some reason.
226
00:09:08,864 --> 00:09:11,018
Yeah. Me too. Except they kind of give
227
00:09:11,018 --> 00:09:11,416
him, like,
228
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:14,550
Okay. Well, I since we're talking about it,
229
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:17,129
like, some creepy vibes early on
230
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:18,170
because
231
00:09:19,029 --> 00:09:20,470
he keeps asking her around, and he's like,
232
00:09:20,629 --> 00:09:22,800
I won't be waited. And I was like,
233
00:09:23,278 --> 00:09:25,830
okay. But look, I get it that they
234
00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:27,504
end up together. She obviously likes him. She's
235
00:09:27,504 --> 00:09:29,578
only pushing back. We find out later because
236
00:09:29,578 --> 00:09:29,976
she's like,
237
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:33,670
not quite ready. Right? Mh. Or feels like
238
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:35,590
she's not entitled to this sort of joy
239
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:36,710
in her life. Mh.
240
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:39,043
But at the same time, I had that,
241
00:09:39,203 --> 00:09:41,118
like, me too moment where, like, no means
242
00:09:41,118 --> 00:09:41,358
no.
243
00:09:42,555 --> 00:09:43,752
I hear you.
244
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:45,050
However,
245
00:09:47,198 --> 00:09:50,410
is it wrong to be, like, for
246
00:09:50,867 --> 00:09:54,457
a suit to pursue someone? I don't think
247
00:09:54,457 --> 00:09:56,371
so, but at what point does it become
248
00:09:56,371 --> 00:09:56,530
like,
249
00:09:57,424 --> 00:09:57,924
is
250
00:09:58,304 --> 00:10:00,245
donna keep saying no, or
251
00:10:00,945 --> 00:10:02,245
the pursue
252
00:10:03,264 --> 00:10:05,345
keep saying no. At what point do you
253
00:10:05,345 --> 00:10:05,745
say like,
254
00:10:07,358 --> 00:10:09,355
I think there's a difference between, like, I'm
255
00:10:09,355 --> 00:10:11,592
not gonna give up so easily because I
256
00:10:11,592 --> 00:10:13,110
believe that you might need time to come
257
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:15,274
around. And I'm not gonna give up even
258
00:10:15,274 --> 00:10:16,785
though you're telling me to my face you're
259
00:10:16,785 --> 00:10:19,352
not interested. Like, how the pursue...
260
00:10:20,283 --> 00:10:21,794
I not saying Fred is this person, and
261
00:10:21,874 --> 00:10:23,956
I know that there's an audience that's listening
262
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:25,706
that's rolling their eyes. I just think at
263
00:10:25,706 --> 00:10:27,615
some point you need to hear what's being
264
00:10:27,615 --> 00:10:28,172
said to you.
265
00:10:29,842 --> 00:10:31,353
You can't be like, anna better than you
266
00:10:31,353 --> 00:10:31,592
do.
267
00:10:32,481 --> 00:10:34,151
And because They ended up together like, it's
268
00:10:34,151 --> 00:10:34,651
cute.
269
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:37,569
I will keep showing up at the house.
270
00:10:38,046 --> 00:10:40,828
There's a fine line here. There's a fine
271
00:10:40,828 --> 00:10:41,328
line
272
00:10:42,835 --> 00:10:44,213
but I think there's something
273
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:48,020
sweet and old school about... Is it because
274
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:49,774
he's old that we're giving him a break
275
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:50,514
and harmless.
276
00:10:50,891 --> 00:10:52,733
U. Okay. Yeah. For me.
277
00:10:54,002 --> 00:10:56,539
I agree. Like, she was annoyed, but, like,
278
00:10:56,698 --> 00:10:58,918
he come... He's a good guy. He.
279
00:10:59,569 --> 00:11:02,126
He's the mayor of the town. He's a
280
00:11:02,126 --> 00:11:04,443
good guy. Like, he's like wouldn't suggest that
281
00:11:04,443 --> 00:11:07,000
being the mayor grants him good guy immunity.
282
00:11:07,573 --> 00:11:08,073
Home.
283
00:11:08,687 --> 00:11:09,585
God you
284
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,949
gave this. It's an election. If we know
285
00:11:11,949 --> 00:11:13,143
when anything about politicians.
286
00:11:14,654 --> 00:11:16,007
There. It's there.
287
00:11:16,818 --> 00:11:18,571
Job does not grant them. Look,
288
00:11:19,527 --> 00:11:21,757
justice for Fred from Wendy.
289
00:11:22,235 --> 00:11:25,200
I love Fred. I like him too. I've
290
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,876
got some more to say about him. I
291
00:11:26,876 --> 00:11:29,589
liked Daughter Hannah, who says, do people your
292
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:30,945
age really go on dates grandma.
293
00:11:31,757 --> 00:11:33,452
That is so sad.
294
00:11:33,988 --> 00:11:37,174
Right? Grandma, Grandma's what? The happiness too. Grandma
295
00:11:37,174 --> 00:11:37,652
me love.
296
00:11:38,543 --> 00:11:39,043
Absolutely.
297
00:11:39,817 --> 00:11:41,408
And like, her grandmother is quite young,
298
00:11:42,682 --> 00:11:43,341
a liar
299
00:11:43,716 --> 00:11:45,945
and full of zed. A lot of life
300
00:11:45,945 --> 00:11:47,616
out of her is. Yes.
301
00:11:50,897 --> 00:11:51,933
Speaking of Donna.
302
00:11:52,810 --> 00:11:55,439
Look. I like Donna. I like Donna when
303
00:11:55,439 --> 00:11:58,162
she basically tells Lindsay to snap out of
304
00:11:58,162 --> 00:12:00,628
it. She's like, you need to step up
305
00:12:00,628 --> 00:12:03,412
for your kid. Now. I was like, yeah.
306
00:12:03,810 --> 00:12:04,287
Donna.
307
00:12:04,765 --> 00:12:06,681
Out Yeah. I like the message There's no
308
00:12:06,681 --> 00:12:09,692
honor in staying single and unhappy and alone
309
00:12:09,692 --> 00:12:11,198
for the rest of your life as a
310
00:12:11,198 --> 00:12:14,079
way to... Keep the memory of your pass
311
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:17,112
love whole. Right. Like, doesn't tarnish that for
312
00:12:17,112 --> 00:12:18,570
you to then continue
313
00:12:19,027 --> 00:12:21,667
living your life. I would hope that for
314
00:12:21,667 --> 00:12:23,333
my own husband. Me too.
315
00:12:23,888 --> 00:12:25,237
And I would hope you would think the
316
00:12:25,237 --> 00:12:25,975
same for
317
00:12:26,427 --> 00:12:28,193
Can't imagine. Gotta could see my husband being
318
00:12:28,193 --> 00:12:29,871
like, nope. You had your 1 true loves.
319
00:12:30,430 --> 00:12:33,147
Boy. Alright. What else did you like? I
320
00:12:33,147 --> 00:12:36,355
thought it was almost. I hilarious how the
321
00:12:36,355 --> 00:12:38,189
stocking had to basically yell at her to
322
00:12:38,189 --> 00:12:39,386
get her ass to the tree lighting by
323
00:12:39,386 --> 00:12:41,061
putting a light in the stocking. Yeah. Like,
324
00:12:41,141 --> 00:12:41,540
hey, Lady.
325
00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:44,179
What are we doing here? Let's talk wishes.
326
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:46,109
For me, this movie was
327
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:47,755
so slow.
328
00:12:48,471 --> 00:12:50,458
There was no zip to it.
329
00:12:51,347 --> 00:12:53,648
And, I mean, it was perfect for movies
330
00:12:53,648 --> 00:12:55,973
in misery missouri. I just was like waiting
331
00:12:56,028 --> 00:12:58,091
for something to happen. I was, like,
332
00:12:58,664 --> 00:13:01,775
it was so even healed, like the entire
333
00:13:01,775 --> 00:13:02,414
time. U.
334
00:13:03,292 --> 00:13:05,446
Especially for a Christmas bee. I thought it
335
00:13:05,446 --> 00:13:06,337
was like, Yeah.
336
00:13:07,131 --> 00:13:09,935
Okay. I wish that the people who were
337
00:13:10,388 --> 00:13:12,851
responsible for the rebuilding of the Gaze would
338
00:13:12,851 --> 00:13:15,075
have perhaps listened to Lindsay as she's the
339
00:13:15,075 --> 00:13:17,956
only 1 who is... Has any sense of
340
00:13:17,956 --> 00:13:20,585
reason at all saying, like, hey, this is
341
00:13:20,585 --> 00:13:23,134
a little bit of an irresponsible undertaking for
342
00:13:23,134 --> 00:13:25,307
us to announce that we're holding this event
343
00:13:25,445 --> 00:13:27,139
who when we don't actually know if we
344
00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:30,100
can finish this. Like, I don't love the
345
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,860
idea of, like, it'll work out and, like,
346
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:34,344
boss fred, like, I believe in you... Like,
347
00:13:34,423 --> 00:13:36,806
that's not enough. Yeah. It's not enough and
348
00:13:36,806 --> 00:13:37,306
even
349
00:13:38,077 --> 00:13:40,777
Scott is like, I can't build anything without
350
00:13:40,777 --> 00:13:42,048
the plans, and they got them out there,
351
00:13:42,127 --> 00:13:43,899
like, what are you doing? He's out there,
352
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:45,820
like, westwood and building things He's like, I
353
00:13:45,820 --> 00:13:47,259
can't do anything I know what it's supposed
354
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:49,100
to look like? And yet, he's out there
355
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:50,860
all the time working it? I'm like, what
356
00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:53,266
are we doing? It does make any sense.
357
00:13:53,584 --> 00:13:55,330
You're working and yet you say you can't
358
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:56,068
do anything.
359
00:13:57,234 --> 00:13:57,734
Also,
360
00:13:58,822 --> 00:14:00,012
this might be a little bit more of
361
00:14:00,012 --> 00:14:01,616
a did to that. But I wish that
362
00:14:01,616 --> 00:14:03,866
people would like, look at a calendar because
363
00:14:03,923 --> 00:14:05,992
they keep saying, like, we haven't had this
364
00:14:05,992 --> 00:14:06,492
gaze
365
00:14:06,867 --> 00:14:09,333
event in 30 years, like that's such a
366
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:11,577
long time. 30 years prior to the release
367
00:14:11,577 --> 00:14:13,646
of this movie is 19 85.
368
00:14:14,124 --> 00:14:15,636
He's not the past.
369
00:14:16,193 --> 00:14:16,693
Photos
370
00:14:17,307 --> 00:14:20,750
existed. Like, I can't believe that no 1
371
00:14:20,750 --> 00:14:21,250
like
372
00:14:23,950 --> 00:14:25,410
Wendy he is spitting
373
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:26,450
teeth
374
00:14:29,634 --> 00:14:30,453
my god
375
00:14:31,308 --> 00:14:31,808
So.
376
00:14:32,344 --> 00:14:34,416
I'm just sitting they're like, what are we
377
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:37,560
ever going to do 30 years ago, nobody
378
00:14:37,698 --> 00:14:41,124
knows. If this is this major town piece
379
00:14:41,124 --> 00:14:42,134
where they had this
380
00:14:42,731 --> 00:14:46,072
very meaningful event every year that the town
381
00:14:46,072 --> 00:14:47,981
showed up for. You're telling me there's not
382
00:14:47,981 --> 00:14:49,970
someone who's is 40 years old who doesn't
383
00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:51,737
have a picture of themselves as a child
384
00:14:51,737 --> 00:14:52,694
in front of this gaze.
385
00:14:53,252 --> 00:14:56,600
There's not 1 newspaper article from 19 85
386
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,753
with the annual tree lighting with the gaze
387
00:14:58,753 --> 00:15:00,464
gazette... You would think. Come.
388
00:15:04,346 --> 00:15:08,329
Also, I wish I could understand why Lindsay
389
00:15:08,329 --> 00:15:09,227
daughter, Hannah
390
00:15:09,779 --> 00:15:11,217
doesn't have a stocking. Well,
391
00:15:12,096 --> 00:15:14,333
I think it's because mom hasn't pulled it
392
00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:15,931
out of a box. But they act like
393
00:15:15,931 --> 00:15:18,655
she's never... Like, they she buys 1. It's
394
00:15:18,655 --> 00:15:19,688
the only 1 they hang.
395
00:15:20,483 --> 00:15:22,311
My husband's like Y. Why don't you have
396
00:15:22,311 --> 00:15:23,050
a stocking?
397
00:15:28,844 --> 00:15:31,331
Well, speaking of Lindsay and Christmas,
398
00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:34,662
I've never been a widow, but and I
399
00:15:34,662 --> 00:15:36,651
don't even love Christmas, but if I have
400
00:15:36,651 --> 00:15:39,912
a young child, I'm not going to sour
401
00:15:39,912 --> 00:15:42,153
the magic of Christmas. Like, I can't get
402
00:15:42,153 --> 00:15:44,456
your stocking out. Can't decorate the tree. Sorry,
403
00:15:44,614 --> 00:15:46,305
honey, live in misery,
404
00:15:46,996 --> 00:15:49,775
f up for my kid. Like, I'm not
405
00:15:49,775 --> 00:15:50,465
going to it's like
406
00:15:51,462 --> 00:15:54,253
Can you imagine this childhood trauma this kid
407
00:15:54,253 --> 00:15:55,848
is going to have to deal with as
408
00:15:55,848 --> 00:15:58,720
an adult because she's like, my dad died
409
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,209
and my mom went into a hole for
410
00:16:01,209 --> 00:16:03,286
4 years. And even when the mom calling
411
00:16:03,286 --> 00:16:05,044
her out, she's like, Hannah wasn't ready either.
412
00:16:05,283 --> 00:16:07,840
Maybe she's biting off your energy, like, when
413
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,154
there's not Christmas
414
00:16:09,531 --> 00:16:11,524
decoration to be seen in the house when
415
00:16:11,524 --> 00:16:12,024
girlfriend
416
00:16:12,561 --> 00:16:15,192
doesn't have a stocking, hung on the mantle,
417
00:16:16,388 --> 00:16:16,888
perhaps
418
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:19,513
She's picking up what you're putting down. Yeah.
419
00:16:19,673 --> 00:16:21,029
Like, you know to set the tone here,
420
00:16:21,268 --> 00:16:21,587
Lady?
421
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:23,682
I
422
00:16:24,060 --> 00:16:26,373
hated Lindsay. 00I
423
00:16:26,373 --> 00:16:27,091
just... I was, like,
424
00:16:27,982 --> 00:16:28,459
I wanted...
425
00:16:29,255 --> 00:16:30,847
Yeah. Sometimes you gotta fake it till you
426
00:16:30,847 --> 00:16:32,041
make it. You gotta do it for your
427
00:16:32,041 --> 00:16:32,359
kids.
428
00:16:33,234 --> 00:16:35,087
I'm miserable and nobody.
429
00:16:36,418 --> 00:16:36,577
What...
430
00:16:38,268 --> 00:16:41,304
And I'm killing myself that gotta set the
431
00:16:41,304 --> 00:16:43,142
example. Like, it is okay for us to
432
00:16:43,142 --> 00:16:44,500
still find joy in our life.
433
00:16:45,154 --> 00:16:47,075
It is not a dishonest to your father's
434
00:16:47,075 --> 00:16:49,075
memory for you to still wake up on
435
00:16:49,235 --> 00:16:52,765
Christmas morning and enjoy, like, hanging your stocking
436
00:16:52,765 --> 00:16:55,225
and decorating cookies and going to see Sam
437
00:16:55,225 --> 00:16:55,701
and all these...
438
00:16:56,654 --> 00:16:57,154
That
439
00:16:57,606 --> 00:16:59,297
like, that honors his memory,
440
00:16:59,923 --> 00:17:01,769
Don't you think your
441
00:17:02,141 --> 00:17:05,706
dead spouse wants there to be joy and
442
00:17:05,706 --> 00:17:06,206
happiness?
443
00:17:07,544 --> 00:17:08,733
Surrounding the holidays.
444
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:10,952
Is. He's not gonna be like, oh, good.
445
00:17:11,269 --> 00:17:13,829
I've god. So you guys suffered to.
446
00:17:14,853 --> 00:17:15,731
Give a break.
447
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:17,485
Oh my goodness.
448
00:17:17,884 --> 00:17:20,117
Oh, my goodness. Then the next switch 4
449
00:17:20,277 --> 00:17:22,351
I have, Lindsay is such a downer. I
450
00:17:22,351 --> 00:17:23,786
think we've already established that.
451
00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:26,677
It's such a downer.
452
00:17:27,316 --> 00:17:28,275
Finally for me,
453
00:17:28,994 --> 00:17:30,433
this maybe I thought I had too many
454
00:17:30,433 --> 00:17:30,933
storylines.
455
00:17:31,552 --> 00:17:33,570
It was, like, new guys Got
456
00:17:33,884 --> 00:17:35,482
gaze and disarray,
457
00:17:36,441 --> 00:17:38,998
dis repair whatever the word is. The magic
458
00:17:38,998 --> 00:17:41,335
stocking, the over bearing grandmother, like, the
459
00:17:42,210 --> 00:17:44,609
grandma love story. Yeah. It was kind of
460
00:17:44,609 --> 00:17:45,750
a lot, but
461
00:17:46,130 --> 00:17:46,630
still
462
00:17:47,089 --> 00:17:47,589
slow
463
00:17:48,450 --> 00:17:50,470
A. My final wish
464
00:17:51,344 --> 00:17:53,914
I wrote in all caps, react faster
465
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:57,554
that light scene at the end where he's
466
00:17:57,554 --> 00:18:00,754
like, doing the clark G, like, slow about
467
00:18:00,754 --> 00:18:03,143
to plug it in. And she's like, doing
468
00:18:03,143 --> 00:18:04,757
a slow job to her car
469
00:18:05,213 --> 00:18:06,828
and like bringing it back
470
00:18:07,283 --> 00:18:07,681
and, like,
471
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:09,708
the mayor and
472
00:18:10,163 --> 00:18:12,072
her mom say like, 8 words up on
473
00:18:12,072 --> 00:18:13,503
the stage. I'm, like, you need to move
474
00:18:13,503 --> 00:18:14,640
fat... Put some
475
00:18:15,348 --> 00:18:17,740
zip in your hustle in your stuck. Yes.
476
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:19,255
With a little more pep in your step
477
00:18:19,255 --> 00:18:19,893
band. Really,
478
00:18:20,611 --> 00:18:22,604
a little more hip hip in your hooray.
479
00:18:22,843 --> 00:18:24,370
Ready for did see that. Have a lot
480
00:18:24,370 --> 00:18:26,351
of commentary. Go ahead. I have a few.
481
00:18:26,747 --> 00:18:28,966
The first 1 is who dances to Christmas
482
00:18:28,966 --> 00:18:29,283
songs.
483
00:18:29,838 --> 00:18:31,289
Now we've seen
484
00:18:31,757 --> 00:18:33,588
a lot of Christmas movies, with a lot
485
00:18:33,588 --> 00:18:36,214
of Christmas music, and I've been to Many
486
00:18:36,294 --> 00:18:37,010
Christmas parties.
487
00:18:37,647 --> 00:18:38,465
I've never
488
00:18:39,254 --> 00:18:42,684
Hustling. I getting down. You're to jingle bells.
489
00:18:43,082 --> 00:18:43,582
Never.
490
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,070
Agree. Never. Nope. That is not dance music.
491
00:18:47,230 --> 00:18:49,479
Not even slow dance music. No.
492
00:18:50,278 --> 00:18:52,196
Why do they do that? It didn't like
493
00:18:52,196 --> 00:18:53,554
it. The other thing,
494
00:18:54,034 --> 00:18:55,232
I don't know if you saw it. There
495
00:18:55,232 --> 00:18:57,765
was snow was falling outside and a bright
496
00:18:57,884 --> 00:18:59,713
son shining on the house. Oh, yeah. I
497
00:18:59,713 --> 00:19:02,098
wrote the fake snow is real bad. Yeah.
498
00:19:03,371 --> 00:19:04,564
Real bad. I 1 more if I can.
499
00:19:04,722 --> 00:19:05,200
Okay. Yeah.
500
00:19:05,915 --> 00:19:07,347
I guess I'm serious Vocal Fried today.
501
00:19:08,078 --> 00:19:08,875
My instrument.
502
00:19:09,432 --> 00:19:12,459
Thanks to I d for this 1. There
503
00:19:12,459 --> 00:19:15,486
were sighting of a Florida license plate in
504
00:19:15,486 --> 00:19:16,783
a British Columbia.
505
00:19:17,253 --> 00:19:19,102
License plate oh in these movies.
506
00:19:19,634 --> 00:19:21,380
First question is Fred wearing a to pay.
507
00:19:22,173 --> 00:19:22,649
Oh,
508
00:19:23,443 --> 00:19:23,839
maybe,
509
00:19:24,648 --> 00:19:27,592
I think so. Maybe? I think so. Does
510
00:19:27,592 --> 00:19:29,342
he wear them in all his movies? Is
511
00:19:29,342 --> 00:19:31,491
them? Oh, don't. Okay.
512
00:19:32,461 --> 00:19:36,044
My second comment is that dog? Yeah. So
513
00:19:36,044 --> 00:19:36,362
ugly.
514
00:19:37,557 --> 00:19:39,968
How dare you? It's out
515
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,111
How can you say a dog is ugly.
516
00:19:42,350 --> 00:19:45,217
Was not a cute dog? You stop it
517
00:19:45,217 --> 00:19:45,775
right now?
518
00:19:46,412 --> 00:19:48,005
Sweet. Not cute. You know what kind of
519
00:19:48,005 --> 00:19:48,961
dogs I think are ugly?
520
00:19:49,613 --> 00:19:51,207
Don't know. Oh my gosh.
521
00:19:52,163 --> 00:19:53,199
We can't publish that.
522
00:19:54,314 --> 00:19:55,828
I'm gonna bleep that out. And then I'm
523
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:57,820
gonna have everybody guessing. What kind of dogs
524
00:19:57,820 --> 00:19:58,776
you think are ugly.
525
00:20:01,098 --> 00:20:03,006
Sent your emails girls gone hallmark at gmail
526
00:20:03,006 --> 00:20:05,153
dot com. Finally, there you talk about these
527
00:20:05,153 --> 00:20:07,061
lights. We need this vintage lights. I finally
528
00:20:07,061 --> 00:20:08,944
found an online supplier. We... And I am
529
00:20:09,064 --> 00:20:11,531
affecting like a gas powered light bulb, basically,
530
00:20:11,690 --> 00:20:13,919
by the way they discuss them. They're freaking
531
00:20:13,919 --> 00:20:15,828
c 9 lights when they show up, which
532
00:20:15,828 --> 00:20:17,261
is what I hang on my house in
533
00:20:17,261 --> 00:20:20,777
the non Led form the year is 2024
534
00:20:20,777 --> 00:20:22,368
right now, and I still have... They're not
535
00:20:22,368 --> 00:20:25,710
hard to find. The Internet exists as does
536
00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:26,983
Home Depot. Come on.
537
00:20:27,794 --> 00:20:30,029
We need these vintage lights. Where do you
538
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:32,504
think this where do you think this movie
539
00:20:32,504 --> 00:20:35,457
falls apart at? Like, where oh, moment 1.
540
00:20:35,777 --> 00:20:36,016
0,
541
00:20:37,469 --> 00:20:39,946
before, pre production. Is it the story?
542
00:20:40,665 --> 00:20:42,503
I think you're right. They're trying to do
543
00:20:42,503 --> 00:20:44,581
too many things. I like the idea of
544
00:20:44,581 --> 00:20:46,360
a magic stocking. I
545
00:20:46,754 --> 00:20:48,592
this was recommended by our Facebook group Please
546
00:20:48,592 --> 00:20:49,951
tell me what it is you love about
547
00:20:49,951 --> 00:20:51,410
this movie because often
548
00:20:52,188 --> 00:20:54,027
when we dislike 1 of these movies people
549
00:20:54,027 --> 00:20:55,839
come out, and they've seen something in this
550
00:20:55,879 --> 00:20:56,436
that we haven't.
551
00:20:57,153 --> 00:20:59,619
I am my guess is that people like
552
00:20:59,619 --> 00:21:01,847
it for the reasons that we're yelling about,
553
00:21:02,086 --> 00:21:04,114
like, the that finding
554
00:21:04,493 --> 00:21:07,210
joy in the holidays after heartbreak, which I
555
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:08,090
can understand.
556
00:21:08,889 --> 00:21:11,286
I don't think that story is told super
557
00:21:11,286 --> 00:21:13,957
effectively as there are so many distractions.
558
00:21:14,491 --> 00:21:16,242
I agree. I agree. It has to be
559
00:21:16,242 --> 00:21:17,992
the script. It has to be in the
560
00:21:17,992 --> 00:21:20,777
script. David Winning is like a great director.
561
00:21:21,174 --> 00:21:21,993
If my
562
00:21:22,304 --> 00:21:24,220
If I have a stocking mantle that's constantly
563
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:25,337
on the floor with something in it, I
564
00:21:25,337 --> 00:21:27,094
would be like, we gotta move. We have
565
00:21:27,094 --> 00:21:29,409
a ghost. It doesn't feel magic to me.
566
00:21:29,808 --> 00:21:31,106
The way that
567
00:21:31,739 --> 00:21:33,413
there's a Christmas... I think it's called the
568
00:21:33,492 --> 00:21:35,805
Christmas calendar on Netflix and, like,
569
00:21:36,921 --> 00:21:39,233
although that one's not, things don't just appear
570
00:21:39,233 --> 00:21:41,422
in that 1, Like, she'll open
571
00:21:41,958 --> 00:21:43,551
1 of the... They each have, like a
572
00:21:43,551 --> 00:21:45,145
little tri inside. And when they open it,
573
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,659
like, that tri it has something to do
574
00:21:46,659 --> 00:21:47,717
something it's gonna happen
575
00:21:48,268 --> 00:21:50,021
during the course of the day. It's not,
576
00:21:50,101 --> 00:21:50,340
like,
577
00:21:51,536 --> 00:21:54,406
random scavenger hunt clues kind appearing that somebody
578
00:21:54,406 --> 00:21:56,493
had to. My movie sounds cute. It's cute.
579
00:21:56,653 --> 00:21:58,087
It's on Netflix. It's several years old.
580
00:21:59,044 --> 00:22:00,877
Okay. Let's rate this, bad boy. 2 and
581
00:22:00,877 --> 00:22:03,268
a half stars. The same. Oh 2 and
582
00:22:03,268 --> 00:22:03,746
a half.
583
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,000
Can't go lower than that with a movie
584
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,599
that Stars Victor Webster. All vibes.
585
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,679
But know I hesitate to even ask, but
586
00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:10,960

590
00:22:17,732 --> 00:22:18,629
We are...
591
00:22:19,161 --> 00:22:21,010
We have just a couple movies left in
592
00:22:21,398 --> 00:22:23,388

00:22:23,388 --> 00:22:24,742

00:22:24,742 --> 00:22:26,334
wrap up science sealed delivered summer.
595
00:22:26,891 --> 00:22:28,801
We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
