Hey, welcome to Forever Hallmark Christmas movie review podcast where we review Hallmark Christmas movies year-round.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:19.920
My name is Rich.
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.320
Joined as always by my co-host Renee.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:23.120
How's it going, buddy?
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.719
It's going very well, Rich.
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.800
We're having Christmas weather again up in the 90s here in Southern California.
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:29.679
We sure are.
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.960
And Tay is it's officially counting down to Christmas 2026, our favorite time of the year.
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.320
And uh are you ready to talk a little NFL?
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.600
I sure am.
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.759
All right, so let's talk.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.679
Holiday touchdown, a bear's love story.
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.280
And Renee, a little uh FHC spoiler alert here.
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.320
We're gonna dive into the plot and discuss those big twists, turns, and surprises.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:59.920
So if you haven't seen this movie and you want to fire up Hallmark Plus, give it a watch before you listen to us.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.759
Go ahead and do that now because uh we might reveal a couple spoilers out there.
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:09.120
So this movie premiered October 17th, 2026, on the Hallmark Channel.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.480
And the following day appeared on Hallmark Plus.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.920
The stars Lindsay Fonsec as Avery and Robert Buckley as Matt.
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:25.920
Three writing credits on this one Christine Garver, Stephanie Jackson, and Marcy Holland, directed by Dustin Rikert.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:42.959
And here's our little holiday hook on this one an ambitious reporter covering a legendary Chicago Bears Super Pans 500th game knows nothing about football until the fans, handsome firefighter Grunson, becomes her guide to Bears Nation.
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:48.719
As Christmas traditions and sparks fly, she discovers that home may be the greatest story of all.
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:49.840
Alright, Renee.
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.760
NFL Part 3.
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:52.799
What do you think of this one?
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.359
Let me just say we discussed it just a moment ago and we said we can't do any fun facts because we don't know anything about it.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.560
But I I do have one fun fact, surprise.
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.719
She the the premise is the grand is gonna see her 500th game.
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.800
So I did some calculations.
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.840
If you went to 17 games, that's not that means away games, right?
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:14.560
As well.
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.520
17 games every year, it would take you 29.4 years.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.759
So just to give you an idea of how long that is, and really there's only half that in home games.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.919
So it must have taken her 50 years or something to watch these games.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:30.639
That's all.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.439
That's all Mike.
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:32.000
Okay.
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.439
I mean, uh Marshall Race is 84 years old when they recorded this movie, so it's doable.
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.400
That was funny when I was so it's uh it's a lot of Bears games, but definitely tons of bear games.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.120
And uh, you know, sadly we lost uh Mike Ditka this week, so uh that's uh you know, it's kind of poignant to see this movie as well.
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:49.599
Yeah.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.199
What did I think of this movie?
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.879
Uh I enjoyed it.
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.960
I enjoyed the characters.
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:02.400
Uh I like seeing some familiar faces like uh uh Abraham Ben Ruby playing Santa with a super deep voice.
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.479
I thought it was a cute story.
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.080
Uh I love, you know me, I love nutty sports people.
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:15.439
And I think the Bills people were a little bit nuttier than the Bears people, but uh overall, this movie, I enjoyed it.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.639
It's worth the watch.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.159
Uh I'm gonna keep it simple on that, but yeah, it's worth the watch for sure.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.360
Yeah, I enjoyed it too.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.319
There's a heck of a lot to like that we'll talk about in a minute.
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:34.560
I I did find it a tad on the slow side and a little bit predictable, but I think there was enough to like to kind of say, yeah, I really did enjoy this one.
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:44.000
And I started thinking this is NFL movie number three, and has the NFL slash Hallmark collaboration run its course?
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.759
And you know, without a doubt, Hallmark is a female-driven network.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.439
That is their prime watching demographic.
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.680
But this NFL Hallmark Collaboration is a way to get more guys to watch Hallmark movies.
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:11.039
You can just imagine a wife is watching, it's a movie about the NFL, her husband watches along, and maybe just like you and I, he becomes one of these guys who loves Hallmark uh Christmas movies.
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:20.560
And I started thinking, I do hope they keep the collaboration going, but we've had Kansas City, we've had Buffalo, we've had Chicago.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.800
I think it is time to move to the West Coast.
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:32.160
And and here is my plan for Hallmark: holiday touchdown, a 49ers love story.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.160
There's a ton of great Christmas stuff going on up in the Bay Area.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:45.120
And Renee, friend of the podcast, one of the best Hallmark writers out there,
Load full transcript
Julie Sherman Wolf, is one of the world's biggest 49ers fans.
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:54.319
So, Hallmark, let's get you, Julie Sherman Wolf, in a room together, and let's make Holiday Touchdown, a 49ers love story, 2027, a reality.
00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.480
Just a quick note Rich and Renee are available as background actors in this movie.
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.000
So we'll fly up to San Francisco.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.319
Yeah, if if they actually take this to heart and then make it happen, it was our idea.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:07.920
We absolutely should be in the movie somehow.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:09.680
They're 5-0, so they're doing great.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.920
So it's a great time to capitalize on that.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.480
All right, let's talk about the things we liked about this movie.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:15.199
Sure.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:21.040
Um, I love the nice when they first met, the nice rapport when Matt meets Avery in the bar for the first time.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.480
They had a lovely banter.
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:23.439
I really enjoyed that.
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.399
Gran and her friends, all in bear gear, assuming Matt and Avery were dating right away.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.560
I thought it was so funny and cute.
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.800
The the the grandma bears.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:33.279
Yeah.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.959
The grandma bears.
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.600
Uh, and then and then Gran making Matt show up to Christmas reading with Avery.
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.680
You know, she's setting Matt up.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.519
Love Gran asking about Avery.
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:44.240
Is she still single?
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.120
Is she single?
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:46.480
Does Matt have your number?
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.519
All those little things.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.160
I just got a kick out of that so much.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.759
I really enjoyed that.
00:05:52.079 --> 00:06:00.399
Avery making the cornhole rose, throws right in the hole, like three in a row, and then Ron exclaiming, She's a prodigy.
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.399
That was a laugh out loud moment for me.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.519
I really like that one.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.079
There's lots of scenes, but I'm gonna, you know, just one more.
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:21.360
Is that I like this a little bit more serious scene is I like when when Matt and Avery are on the ferry, and I do have a comment about that later, and it's a nice real talk about his career and him saying, you know, like, Well, did I get to where I was because my father was a lieutenant or whatever he was, or fire chief.
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.600
And she wisely says, Well, did your dad grade you on the test?
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.680
And he goes, Well, no.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.279
So then, really, it's about his own achievements as a firefighter.
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.160
I thought that was a nice sort of real moment scene.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.160
I I loved lots of things I I enjoyed about this movie, but I'll keep it there for now.
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.680
Yeah, I mean, I one of the reasons I really was excited about this movie is Chicago in general.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.199
I love Chicago as a town.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.160
Um, and I love the intro, uh, great shots of Chicago and all about uh the city there.
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:49.920
So that was really well done.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:58.079
Uh I love the picture of Dika in the bar, uh, giving, you know, paying respect to, as you mentioned, my Dika just passed away a couple days ago.
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.480
So it's uh great to see him represented in the movie.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.199
And uh like you, I love the banter between the Meet Cute uh with Avery and Matt.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.040
Grandma Bears were great.
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.240
Uh I love the cruise at night that you also mentioned was just a beautiful setting there, uh, really shot well.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.480
What about Santa singing karaoke?
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.759
That was great.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.079
Yeah, great deep voice that guy has.
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:29.199
Uh, I loved when Ron uh told Avery the story about Jody walking to his bar, and he says, of all the gin joints, which was of course his little nod to Casablanca, really uh well written into that.
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.519
A couple cameos, Mary Lou, uh, Mary-Lou Hemer, uh, Tamara Maori House.
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.040
Our 100th follower, by the way.
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.959
Uh so some good Hallmark cameos.
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:43.759
And lastly, Ron getting his personalized beanbags uh for Cornhole was a really cute touch at the end of the movie there.
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.920
He was so excited about that.
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:47.279
He was a great character.
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.000
I love him.
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.519
All right, so we always talk about our things that we like, and we always uh mention some things that we might fix if we had the chance.
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.879
And I had a couple here.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:55.519
What about you?
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.240
You know, I'm gonna touch on one that that you mentioned.
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:06.879
I felt the latter late middle part of the movie was a little slow, but it was dealing with like more emotional and and more emotional scenes that were heartfelt.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:14.800
So if you don't, if you have the patience, you know, sometimes I just want to I tend to like my hallmark movies kind of fast-paced and funny.
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:15.439
I do as well.
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:23.680
But some of them are emotional, so I I don't I didn't mind that, but that was something I would maybe fix in a rewrite to keep that going along.
00:08:23.839
--> 00:08:25.839
But you know, that's up to the writers.
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.839
And the other one was I I didn't quite understand the fairy scene.
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:30.959
Why was it it?
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.039
You only saw those them two on there.
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.720
It's called the sleigh ride cruise.
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.639
I didn't look it up to see if that's an actual thing.
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:43.919
But I thought it was I thought the harbor was supposed to be decorated, and I didn't see any lights, anything to make it look festive at all.
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.320
I get it, they probably didn't film it during Christmas.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.759
For sure they did not, yeah.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.200
The the harbor wasn't at all lit up, like he described it to Avery.
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.799
So to me, it's like, okay, spend a little bit of money and do some CGI lighting or something.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:55.120
Yeah.
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.799
And those are my my two.
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.759
I I really didn't wasn't looking to nitpick this one too much because I was just kind of enjoying the story.
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.399
Yeah, I only have a few nitpicks as well, nothing major.
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:10.879
I I thought Darlene was trying a little too hard, like right away to get Matt and Avery together.
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.039
It seemed a it seemed a little forced.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.840
I think they could have just eased their way into that a little bit.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.879
Uh that almost kiss on the boat ride, that was 33 minutes in.
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.559
And I thought their chemistry was just starting to slowly build.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.519
I thought that was just that was a little early for me.
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:33.279
It could have waited a little bit longer into the movie if we were gonna have an almost kiss or even a mid-movie kiss, which you and I are all about.
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:33.600
Yeah.
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.360
But it just seemed a little early.
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:45.840
And and here's my last this is a boy, this is a big one, Renee, because we just did our bold predictions podcast, and I predicted this would be the best movie when it came to food and beverage.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.600
The Italian beef sandwich, which they featured, and I'm glad they did.
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.159
But they said they were gonna give Avery a double-dipped sandwich.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.360
It wasn't dipped at all, it was super dry, no spicy peppers.
00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:01.279
I feel like I got robbed.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.440
I when I saw those scenes, I'm like, you know, I was like, oh boy, is Rich gonna beat me out on my choice because we had different choices.
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.639
I said, I don't think so.
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.039
I don't think Rich is gonna win this one because it
was a they did not do that justice.
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:13.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.200
I mean, it well, not only did they do no, but they said they were gonna double dip it.
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:17.519
I know.
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.320
There was nothing.
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.320
It was like just like a completely dry sandwich.
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:21.120
What the heck?
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.240
That's all that's all I got.
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.960
Uh yeah, not too much uh to nitpick in this movie.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:27.679
All right.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:28.559
Favorite moment?
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.240
So I didn't really have a favorite moment that stood out.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:40.960
So I picked this moment that I just enjoyed, and it's one you mentioned, the the Christmas karaoke scene scene.
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.639
And and the singing.
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.240
I thought that was neat, and the people saying to Gran, like, Oh, you did a good job.
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.919
And then Avery going, like, I sang too, and then that happened to her like two or three times.
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.159
That just started making me laugh more and more.
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.240
It was a simple, festive scene.
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.639
I did like the Christmas spirit there, all the donations for the children.
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.320
Lovely display of Christmas spirit, and I always love seeing that in the movie.
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.759
But that was my as close as I could get to a favorite moment in this movie.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:13.279
Yeah, there's some really touching moments in this one, especially the one with Darlene and her husband, kind of those flashbacks that were kind of very emotional and really well done.
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:20.960
In the end, I'm going with a visit to the Bears Field House, that to indoor kind of practice facility theirs.
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.240
It was just really cool.
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.000
It was visually impressive.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:30.240
Uh, the look on like Matt's face, like he was just like blown away, like, oh my god, I can't believe I'm getting to see this place.
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.000
Uh, I just love the visuals of it.
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.759
That's I'm going with that as my favorite moment.
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.320
Something different that I didn't think I'd pick in this movie, but I I didn't see that one coming and I really liked it.
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.480
You know, I I that was my second choice.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.919
And when I was watching it, I said, Oh my gosh, that's Mike Singletary.
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:49.679
That is like he was, I can't say the bad words, but he was a bad dude on the field.
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.279
I mean, he was a mean dude.
00:11:51.600 --> 00:12:01.679
He was uh he was a ferocious player, and he's like half the size he was when he
was on the field, but I recognized Mike Singletary's eyes anywhere, and I couldn't quite place who the other guy was.
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:08.320
But um just seeing Mike Singletary alone, I uh I I you know I stopped in my tracks, like, oh my gosh, that's Mike Singletary.
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.120
He's great.
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.440
And you know, he was the coach for the 49ers for a little bit, going back to tying that in.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.360
So good scene.
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.879
All right, best supporting character.
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.360
I think we're gonna have the same one.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:20.159
Can I guess for you?
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.120
You can guess.
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.120
Uh I think you're gonna go with Ron.
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.120
That was a very I almost picked Ron.
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.120
But what I did is I went with Darlene's three friends.
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.559
The grandma bears.
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:33.919
The grandma bears.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.879
I know it's not you know, to me, they're they're one unit.
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.960
They were so cute and funny and bears obsessed, which is what I like to see in a football movie.
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.000
And they also wanted to help Matt and Avery become a couple.
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.080
I just loved the heck out of them.
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.200
I thought they were so funny every time they were on screen.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:55.120
I just love seeing them dressed up, they were just absolutely adorable.
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.159
I love them so much.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.000
Well, I am going with Ron.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.320
I I thought he was a great character, uh great dialogue.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:07.200
Um yeah, the relationship between him and Jody, him and Avery.
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.240
Uh he's obviously a bear super fan.
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.799
Uh, love the story uh about his bar.
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.159
Uh obviously a fierce cornhole competitor.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:17.759
Very fierce.
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.720
Like you say, he was so excited when he got those personalized fiendbacks at the end of the movie.
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.039
It was I just enjoyed everything with Ron.
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.559
He was just a really fun, well-written, supporting character.
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.159
Yeah, I love how over-the-top he was.
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.840
You know me, I love an over-the-top character.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.840
All right, time for some bears logic checks.
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.279
Any are we shirts on this one?
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:35.919
Sure.
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:36.799
I have three.
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:46.559
When Avery is throws the winning shot in Cornhole, the rule is you're supposed to have a drink in your hand when you make that shot.
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.159
She did not have
a drink in her hand.
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.360
I I caught that as well.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:49.679
Yep.
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:51.360
Anybody not gonna say anything about that?
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.360
I think if I was on the losing end, I'd be like, hey, hey, disqualified, disqualified.
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:55.679
We win.
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.159
Yep, right?
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:57.519
I mean, you don't want to win that way, but still.
00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:59.759
But that that that is that is part of the whole thing.
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.759
You know, they they do what they're come on.
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:03.679
It was a big deal early on, right?
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.240
So, okay.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:10.720
The other one is I get it, it's a beautiful it was a beautiful scene, but would Darlene miss the first half of her 500th game?
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:16.159
Couldn't she visit the sick lady and I don't remember her name after the game or before the game, right?
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.960
So I I think if I was going to my 500th game, I'd be like, hey, hey lady, I'll see you before or after.
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.639
I'm not missing this, right?
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.039
But I get it, it's a lovely sentiment.
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.399
So that's why it's not a rewrite, it's just an are we sure?
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:34.399
And the last one I have is you would actually take a fire truck to the game.
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.200
That seems like a bad use of city resources.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.879
Uh, and there didn't even appear to be that much traffic on the way there.
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.240
Every street was like empty.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.559
I'm like, I think I could have just driven there safely.
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.240
So that was it for me.
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.240
I just I was just like, come on, taking the fire truck.
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.759
I get it, it's a kind of a cool movie scene.
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.639
I only had two, and your last one was my first one that the fire truck would be the fastest way to get to the game because traffic wasn't bad.
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:06.799
And by the time they call the fire truck, get the fire truck rolling, get it to Darlene's place, and then back to the stadium, an Uber would have been 10 times faster.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.840
So yeah, and my other, are we sure?
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.879
Okay, I'm I'm pretty coordinated guy.
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.600
I played college tennis, pretty good hand-eye coordination.
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.480
I've tried playing cornhole, and it's not as easy as you think.
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:18.879
Okay.
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.080
I I I yeah, I sank a few here and there, but Avery's basically the world's best cornhole player.
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.320
Like from the first second she tosses a mean bag.
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.519
Are we are we sure she'd be that good that fast?
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.440
Having never played before.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:33.519
Uh Ron said she's a prodigy.
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:34.480
Yeah, a prodigy.
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:39.039
So but of course, I'm sure everyone's thinking, yeah, I've thrown a few cornhole beanbags.
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.879
It's uh it's not that easy.
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:41.840
For sure.
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.440
So, but yeah, not too many, not too many arbers on this one.
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.159
Yeah.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.559
Are Madden Avery gonna last us a couple?
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:49.440
I think so.
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.639
Uh she's now into football, became a Bears fan.
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.200
They have nice, uh, they talk nicely, nice banter with each other.
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.639
It was just a simple layup for touchdown, let's say.
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.080
Let's not mix metaphors.
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.720
Yeah, I think they're gonna last as a couple, they're a cute couple.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.360
Lindsay Fonteca's lovely, so what's not to like?
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:13.840
Yeah, it was a nice slow build uh to their chemistry building up to them really uh you know, really liking each other.
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:14.960
And let's be honest.
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.960
Lindsay Fonseca, Robert Buckley, that is one good-looking couple.
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.519
Oh, yeah.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.000
Uh, they're both gonna be in Chicago, so sure.
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.759
These guys are gonna make it for sure.
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:28.639
They're uh they're really good together, and uh no doubt they're gonna they're gonna last as a couple.
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:33.600
I'm sorry your bold prediction uh failed you on this this one, by the way.
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.039
What was my bold prediction?
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.200
That the they would have the best food.
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.240
Oh, yeah.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:46.000
I mean, we didn't get any tavern style pizza, no deep dish pizza, no hot dogs, not even the historic brownie from the Palmer House Hotel.
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:55.039
I mean I know I'm talking out of turn, out of left field, but but you know it was a little disappointing, but and even in and I did get my Italian beef, but it fell so flat.
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:55.919
I know.
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.480
All right, we always rate the kiss A to F, the mistletoe meter.
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.480
Let's uh let's hear what you think of this one.
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.519
So it's a cute little kiss under the mistletoe.
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.480
It's just a there was one, just a peck on the cheek.
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.880
I don't consider that one reviewable, but it was cute.
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.759
Me neither.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:16.000
The kiss where he had all the candles lit was a B plus for me.
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:21.119
There was a little bit where they just had their lips smashed together for a second, like just together.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.640
Like I've never seen anybody kiss like that, except for like babies.
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.079
But then it got better.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.119
It ended nicely as a simple yet nice ending kiss.
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.119
Overall, I gave this kiss a B plus.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.039
Wow, I think you're underplaying this one.
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.599
Wow.
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.640
Now I agree.
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:36.960
At first, their their faces kind of mashed together.
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:38.960
I'm kind of going, Oh, I don't know about this.
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:46.799
But then we got some great camera work circle circling around them as the kiss got hotter and hotter, and they started going at it, Renee.
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.519
I mean they did.
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.680
And Renee, 20 seconds.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.240
That is a long, long Hallmark kiss.
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.400
Um, and then we got a good solid kiss right at the end before the final credits ran.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.559
I'm giving it a solid all around A, Renee.
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.799
I think a B plus is a little bit low, but that's just me.
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.799
I wonder if we need to add a new category to our every 10-episode review of like re-review the kisses.
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:09.279
I don't know.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.119
You know, if you aim this would not, you know, I wouldn't fight it too hard.
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:20.799
So like I said, I just think the camera work, the fact that the kiss got hotter and hotter as the kiss went along, um, and it was so long.
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:25.359
Yeah, I I mean I think it it all ends up for an A for not A plus, but a good solid A.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.480
I won't argue with that.
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.839
All right, something I stole from Bill Simmons Rewatchables podcast.
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.000
We always uh end every podcast with who or what won the movie.
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:51.279
So uh for me, I enjoyed I liked all the backstories going on, and normally you and I push back on too many backstories, you know, but Gran and her 500th game, which is kind of a not a it's a the the reason the movie's there, but and the connection between Avery and Matt.
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.640
Avery's mom and Ron's story, that's a lovely story.
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.559
So the so for me, this and the stories won the movie.
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:04.960
I got a lot about so many people, as I said, which sometimes can be a bit much for us, but I felt it was done.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:08.480
There were just the right amount of of several things going on.
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:19.920
So for me, the writers won the movie, and you just told me their names because I didn't log it
down, but you said the writers were Christine Garber, Stephanie Jack, and was it Marcy Holland?
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.799
Marcy Holland, yeah, who also wrote the Biltmore movies.
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:24.640
Oh, geez, how do I not know that?
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:29.759
Yeah, I'm not as good at this as you are, but yeah, the writers for me, the story uh won this movie.
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.279
Yeah, I like the writers as well.
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:36.559
And I think the good thing they've done actually with all three of these NFL movies is they don't shove the football down your throat.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.119
You know, you're definitely getting that rom-com that Hallmark fans want to see.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:46.960
And then the football is kind of a secondary to getting everything in that Hallmark movie that you want.
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:56.400
So they do a good job of uh of blending the NFL collaboration with Hallmark, but then making sure we're hitting all the Hallmark uh high points as well.
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:06.319
Um, for me though, I am going with Darlene as the winner of this movie, portrayed by 84-year-old Marsha Mason.
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.400
Uh, and she's a famous actress.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:14.400
I mean, nominated four times for Academy Award as Best Actress, uh, won an Emmy for her role on Fraser.
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.920
I don't know if you knew this, Renee.
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.319
Back in the 1980s, at Paul Newman's urging, she became a competitive auto racer.
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:24.480
So a really great uh story to her life.
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.599
And I thought she just killed it in this movie.
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.799
Every scene she was in, she was so charismatic.
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:38.319
Uh, the story basically centered around her and her love of the bears and her 500th Bears games.
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.559
And for that reason, 84-year-old Marsha Mason, she's my MVP of this movie.
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.119
Yeah, and auto car racing that qualifies as a fun fact as far as I'm concerned.
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.240
Wow, nice pull on that one.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:48.640
Good job.
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:57.519
All right, we always rate the movies one to five, and we always give us some symbolic symbol that uh kind of goes along with and I could not resist.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:58.960
He passed away last week.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.240
How many ditkas are we giving this movie?
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.839
Four Mike Ditkas.
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.160
It was a very warm, heartfelt story, and the actors were charming.
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:14.640
And you know, I know my ratings fluctuate, and I was thinking about that, but I didn't because we're watching a lot of movies this week.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:19.920
I didn't go back and compare to my previous fours or three seven fives or four point two five.
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.119
So I just went, my gut just said four, four Mike Ditkas.
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:24.000
I'm happy with it.
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.160
In the end, I went 3.75 Mike Ditkas.
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:35.200
Uh the overall movies for the NFL, I think I like the Chiefs the best, but I did like this one better than the Bills movie.
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:40.079
Uh for me, 3.5 is kind of the average movie, and I think this one was a little bit above average.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.799
So uh 3.75 Ditkas on this one.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:43.279
All right.
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.839
