Speaker 2 0:14

And I'm Gary.

Speaker 1 0:15

And it's time to pour the wine and. I'm on it Star pouring and once again we have a cab. We forgot to run out today, we were actually going to do what? Either a Chardonnay, yeah. Or a Sauvignon Blanc.

Speaker 2 0:31

Yeah, but we got lazy and decided not to go out. That's okay, we have a cab, we love cab. Yes, we do.

Speaker 1 0:38

A little BTS, as the kids say these days.

Speaker 2 0:42

That's behind the scenes for us, oh wow, bts, as the kids say these days, that's behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 0:44

For us, oh wow, I didn't know that we might be empty nesters, but we do have a puppy. Yes, we do, I mean she's two and it's kind of like having a kid, because we have to make sure all of her energy is out so that she'll rest while we record.

Speaker 2 0:59

Yes.

Speaker 1 1:00

She was just pacing around and we were worried she was going to Interrupt, interrupt and make some noise. But she's out now, so we're good.

Speaker 2 1:07

Yes, she is.

Speaker 1 1:09

All right. So last week, what did we do? We finally caught up on the way home.

Speaker 2 1:13

Yes.

Speaker 1 1:13

We're all caught up. That was pretty good. What do you think so far?

Speaker 2 1:17

You know I wish we were reviewing this. We're not, but you know what? That's a pretty good. I like the premise of that show.

Speaker 1 1:25

Yes, maybe next season.

Speaker 2 1:27

Speaker 1 1:28

As long as they get a season four, fingers crossed.

Speaker 2 1:30

My fingers and toes are crossed.

Speaker 1 1:32

They haven't been, it hasn't been renewed yet, but there's so much more story to tell, stories.

Speaker 2 1:38

Yes.

Speaker 1 1:39

Angles they can go. It kind of reminds me of Lost, where you think, okay, maybe they've done it all, but they really haven't. There are so many more places they can go and I really hope they get renewed. The season finale is this Friday. Yes, and we will be ready for it March 7th 2025 is the season finale of season three of the Way Home. I feel like I need a flow chart of timelines and family trees Just like Lost. That would help me, just like Lost and Yellowstone.

Speaker 2 2:05

Yes, and they're supposed to be answering all of our questions.

Speaker 1 2:10

On Friday. Yes, friday night.

Speaker 2 2:11

Stay tuned so make sure you watch it Friday night, because you might get a spoiler alert we won't spoil anything. No, we won't.

Speaker 1 2:20

Hallmark announced their Kansas City Missouri Hallmark Christmas Experience is coming back for a second year. Yes, we talked about going last year, but we ended up not I know, so maybe we can look into it this year. The event in 2025 is going to be on weekends from November 28th through December 21st, and the immersive experience includes free events like a Christmas market tree lighting.

Speaker 2 2:46

That would be so cool.

Speaker 1 2:47

It would be really cool. Card sending station and a light walk. Ooh, christmas lights, lights.

Speaker 2 2:53

Yes.

Speaker 1 2:54

Yeah, and then, of course, there are exclusive ticketed events, and those tickets will go on sale in June.

Speaker 2 3:01

Ooh, Coming up, let's be ready?

Speaker 1 3:03

Let's be ready for that? Maybe we will. We'll have to keep that in mind and we'll keep reminding everybody on the pod.

Speaker 2 3:10

Yes, every episode, every episode that the tickets are coming in June.

Speaker 1 3:14

Well, it's already March.

Speaker 2 3:15

We're going to be your iPhone reminder.

Speaker 1 3:17

Oh my gosh, we're going to be our iPhone reminder, that's right?

Speaker 2 3:20

Well, I guess today we're reviewing the Royal we that aired on Saturday, march 1st 2025. If you missed it, you can catch it on Hallmark+. This is the first of three brand new Royal Weekend movies. How about you drop the synopsis?

Speaker 1 3:37

Dropping the synopsis, here I go. When her older sister elopes with a non-royal Princess B or Beatrice Beatrix, not Beatrice B or Beatrice Beatrix, not Beatrice.

Speaker 2 3:46

Yes, beatrix Beatrix, that's right.

Speaker 1 3:48

Who has lived her life away from her royal duties, must now step in and honor the arranged marriage to a small kingdom prince and the royal. We stars Mallory Jansen as B or Princess Beatrix yeah, as B or Princess Beatrix. Yep, she was in All I Need for Christmas in 2024 and Paging Mr Darcy in 2024, which Paging Mr Darcy was part of Loveuary.

Speaker 2 4:14

Loveuary, look at you, you get to say it again.

Speaker 1 4:17

In 2024. And they were actually both on the Hallmark Channel this weekend Friday and Saturday. I love that they do that. Yes, me too. They show the movies of the stars of the upcoming weekend Friday and Saturday. I love that they do that.

Speaker 2 4:24

Yes, me too.

Speaker 1 4:25

They show the movies of the stars of the upcoming new movie for Saturday night. Fridays and Saturdays, so that was pretty cool. She was also in her pen pal in 2021. And she was in the series Agents of SHIELD, which was based on the Marvel Comics and that was on ABC. We never.

Speaker 2 4:40

No, we didn't watch that one. No, we didn't, not a huge superhero thing. No Me either. Maybe some of them, but not all of them.

Speaker 1 4:49

It was a pretty good show. I mean, I think according to the critics and the ratings. Yeah, Charlie Carrick plays Crown Prince Desmond. He has several acting credits. One that I noticed was he was in Cedar Cove, which was a Hallmark series. He's in several episodes of that and that aired in 2013 and 2014. That starred Andy McDowell.

Speaker 2 5:14

Okay, do you know who that is Name sounds familiar, yeah.

Speaker 1 5:17

She plays Del Del Landry on the way home. Yes, but of course, for me she was in St Elmo's Fire, a great 80s film.

Speaker 2 5:29

So you're good with names, I'm good with faces.

Speaker 1 5:31

You're good with faces. Ray Lim plays Chloe, which is Mallory's best friend, and she has a lot of acting credits None, unfortunately, that I was super familiar with, but I really liked her in this her quirkiness.

Speaker 2 5:44

She was very funny.

Speaker 1 5:46

She was good in this. She was good in this. Simon Coons plays Edwin. He's Charlie's assistant right-hand man. I don't want to use butler because not really butler, but I would say more of assistant, making sure he keeps on track, as the prince His schedules, his schedules making sure he keeps on track as the prince His schedules, His schedules. He was in the 90s actually. He was in Four Weddings and a Funeral and the Parent Trap the updated version of the Parent Trap, and I love Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Speaker 2 6:14

Yeah.

Speaker 1 6:15

Hugh Grant.

Speaker 2 6:16

I don't think I've ever watched that. You've never seen that one. No.

Speaker 1 6:18

I think Andy McDowell was in that one too. Man one too, man?

Speaker 2 6:22

yeah, actually I think so how do you remember all this?

Speaker 1 6:25

I don't know, it's a weird thing. Michael howe plays king richmond, which is charlie's dad. Carolyn backhouse plays queen lupinia, charlie's mom. Nicola posner plays princess coralline. Corallina, corallina how do they pronounce in there? Something like that yeah, like that which was Mallory's sister. Simon Shackleton plays King Winston, Mallory's dad.

Speaker 2 6:51

Winston.

Speaker 1 6:52

And Jacinta Mulcahy oh, I hope I didn't butcher that too much plays Queen Marguerite Mallory's mom, and she was actually just in Netflix's Irish Wish in 2024 with Lindsay Lohan.

Speaker 2 7:06

Oh wow, pretty cool huh.

Speaker 1 7:09

Yeah, pretty cool.

Speaker 2 7:10

So what were your first thoughts on this?

Speaker 1 7:14

What did I think? What did I think? Full disclosure here. When I was a little girl, my mom woke me up in the middle of the night to watch Princess Diana marry Prince. Well, he was Prince at the time.

Speaker 2 7:25

Right.

Speaker 1 7:25

It was King Charles. It was the most magical thing I'd ever seen. You know, of course we'd learn later that it was far from perfect, far from magical, but in that moment man did I believe in fairy tales. I know, from that moment on I've been a royal fan.

Speaker 2 7:42

Yep.

Speaker 1 7:43

And throwing an accent, totally sold. I know, totally sold. So that's the premise behind my review. So I had high and half high expectations for Royal Weekends and this one did not disappoint. I really loved it. The chemistry, the banter, the story itself, all of it totally worked.

Speaker 2 8:03

Yes, I agree totally, and.

Speaker 1 8:04

Mallory actually looks a little bit like Kate Middleton.

Speaker 2 8:07

Uh-oh, do you know who Kate Middleton is? Yes, I know who Kate Middleton is. Who's Kate Middleton? Oh, don't put me on the spot. I know who she is. I just don't know the movies. If you show me the wow, that's right. You know I was thinking of some other actress, sorry. Oh my God, who just went through?

Speaker 1 8:32

I'm sorry, you said yes, I know who she is. Yes, I do know who Kate. Middleton is.

Speaker 2 8:37

Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 8:40

That's all right. That's all right.

Speaker 2 8:41

That's funny.

Speaker 1 8:42

Busted. Are you thinking Kate Hudson? I don't know.

Speaker 2 8:46

Yes, I think that's who I was probably thinking about.

Speaker 1 8:49

Oh man, okay, All right.

Speaker 2 8:51

How embarrassing.

Speaker 1 8:52

That was great.

Speaker 2 8:53

That was great.

Speaker 1 8:56

And then, just as a overall, I really I just really loved it. And as a side note, the title the Royal we yes, until Mallory, you know, during it says can we drop the royal we? I've never even thought about that.

Speaker 2 9:10

Right.

Speaker 1 9:11

How they speak in the plural, even when they mean I Right. The royals say we, and it was like duh. It was like a light bulb moment for me, so I've never really thought about it. So that made the title even you know more appropriate in my mind, because I wasn't even thinking that.

Speaker 2 9:28

So what about you?

Speaker 1 9:29

What did you think, now that we've straightened out who Kate Middleton is?

Speaker 2 9:33

I don't even know if I want to continue now. I, like you, love the movie. I'm so glad they didn't cheese it up. Yeah, and I was hoping that they wouldn't put those cheesy characters in like they've been doing. Love the scenery. I love the costumes. The acting was spot on and even with the supporting cast, I thought they did a really good job on all this.

Speaker 1 10:02

Yes, yes, I totally, totally agree.

Speaker 2 10:04

Yeah, and I too was thinking about, like the royals, you know, Princess Diana and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 10:13

Yes, yes, I'm going to have some notes about that too. I figured you would.

Speaker 2 10:18

We've watched so many documentaries that yes. Well, yes, I figured we would, because this movie really really hit home or hit close to actually what's going on over there too. So what were some of your favorite scenes?

Speaker 1 10:33

Favorite scene. The escape for a date is what I like to call it. That was pretty cool. That was one of my favorite scenes the whole night just worked. The purchase of the gear when he you know, the hat and the sweatshirt he didn't have any money because he's a royal and the pizza.

Speaker 2 10:49

Yes, the pizza night and the pizza.

Speaker 1 10:50

Yes, the pizza and the bowling hustle. He hustled her.

Speaker 2 10:54

That was funny. That was actually funny the way he acted like I don't know what bowling is.

Speaker 1 10:58

So that whole night in the pizza scene, I guess we can talk about that. I don't know if that's in your notes as one of your favorites or not.

Speaker 2 11:07

No, I didn't have it in one of my favorites. But going back to the bowling thing, I wonder how many takes it took for him to get that strike twice.

Speaker 1 11:15

Do you think it was really him getting the strike? I think so. You don't think it was edited?

Speaker 2 11:19

I don't think so Could be, I don't know. Ai who knows right, I don't know, Maybe we could interview him.

Speaker 1 11:25

Maybe he's a pro bowler and we just don't know it. That would be funny.

Speaker 2 11:28

Maybe I didn't find that in my research.

Speaker 1 11:31

But the pizza scene. You know, this is a personal thing between you and I. When we went to Las Vegas several years ago, oh, my goodness, yes, we had been out all day and we stayed in New York, new York.

Speaker 2 11:45

Yep.

Speaker 1 11:46

And we didn't really eat that much that day. So we were hungry and it was like one o'clock in the morning and we went to one of their restaurants there. Of course it's New York. So they had a pizza joint and we had the pizza and we just had. It was such a small moment but huge for us. It was just such a great, intimate night and we were eating pizza here. We are not young anymore.

Speaker 2 12:09

No, actually it was my 50th birthday.

Speaker 1 12:12

Your 50th birthday, you surprised me with, and here we are just having pizza. It was probably one of the best night, best parts of our trip. I mean, we had a lot of fun that trip, but it was just so cool, so that scene in the movie just really reminded me of that.

Speaker 2 12:26

I know. And that pizza was delicious, it was. It was really, really good too. You know, what was funny is, when we were in line and we had gotten the drink it was, they didn't fill it up. And when we got to the register, the lady at the register she was like did you drink that?

Speaker 1 12:43

And I was like I forgot about that I was like no, she goes they didn't fill that up.

Speaker 2 12:47

I'm like no, they didn't. She goes, let me fill that up for you, which I thought was pretty cool. Yeah, because they didn't fill it to the top.

Speaker 1 12:54

No, they didn't. It was probably about maybe three inches from the top. Well, we didn't notice because we were talking. I know we were just having a good time, but I thought it. But that was. I loved all the banter between the best friend and the prince's right-hand man yes, I thought that between her best friend Chloe.

Speaker 2 13:18

Yes.

Speaker 1 13:19

I just thought all of that back and forth, because she's so young and cute and quirky and he's, you know, more old, more stoic, more you know, because he's trying to keep things in line. Right and he kind of gave it back to her and I really really like that.

Speaker 2 13:34

Yeah, there was that one scene I think it was not near the end but close to it where they're coming down the steps and you have the news media off to the side and they're asking questions. And she comes down, chloe, and they're like who are you Are? And she comes down, chloe, and they're like who are you? Are you, you know, a family member? And she's like, oh no, I'm the best friend. And they turned away and walked away from her.

Speaker 2 13:55

And then that's when he came up and, you know, took her by the arm and walked her and I thought that was pretty cool, that's. You know, that was pretty nice of him.

Speaker 1 14:05

What about you? I have a couple more notes for those you go ahead and tell me.

Speaker 2 14:10

One of my favorite scenes was that dinner scene where they were all sitting around the table and King Richard and King Winston were going back and forth on each other King Richmond I said Richmond where they were insulting each other and trying to one-up each other and everybody sitting at a table. It was kind of like a tennis match. Their heads were going back and forth and back and forth and I thought that was so funny. It just reminded me of a Wilmington match, that's all.

Speaker 2 14:41

A Wilmington match yeah, speaking of England, right, and I also liked in that same scene when they brought out the whiteboard, yeah, and they did the team building.

Speaker 1 14:56

Yeah, the royals are just like us they brainstorm I know right, that was so funny.

Speaker 2 15:00

That was a cool scene too. I liked how she gave them each a letter and they had to come up with a word and then they had like the pros and cons and you know, they just kind of hashed it out. It was a team building thing and I thought it was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 15:14

Not team building, but bringing them together because they'd had this conflict for so long.

Speaker 2 15:18

Well, it kind of reminded me of back to return to office with the team building thing. Oh right, catch me if I fall down. Catch me, you know.

Speaker 1 15:25

Yeah, because they did do that in this one too. You're right, I didn't even catch that. See, look at you bringing it around. I know Back to love you, Larry.

Speaker 2 15:33

Love you, Larry. I might not know Kate Milliton, but I did catch some scenes. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 15:38

You did, you did.

Speaker 2 15:39

And what was another one of yours?

Speaker 1 15:41

Just in general. We talked about it earlier, Diana on my mind, because the scene where Mallory goes to shake hands and she says I'm being authentically myself. And you know that was Princess Diana meeting the people where they were at, going to the hospitals, just all of the charity work that she did. It just kind of reminded me of that. Of course, the hashtag I don't know if you caught it a princess for the people that's in the movie, and princess diana was known as the people's princess yes I thought it kind of brought it back around to that.

Speaker 1 16:13

And also, did you know that princess diana's older sister dated prince charles before she did get out? Yeah, yeah, so it's kind of like the movie. I guess her old princess Beatrice B's older sister didn't date him. They were just put together like an arranged marriage because of the families. But yeah, but Princess Diana's older sister actually dated.

Speaker 2 16:40

Prince Charles briefly.

Speaker 1 16:42

Okay yeah, just a little trivia for you.

Speaker 2 16:46

That's interesting, I didn't catch that.

Speaker 1 16:48

And then there's the final scene, when they're talking about the wedding. I don't know how much detail we want to give or not, if you haven't seen it, but it was just. I thought that was perfection. I really, really liked that scene.

Speaker 2 17:00

Yes, I loved how they did it, so if you, haven't seen it yet, we won't give anything away, Although we're talking about other scenes, but you know. But there are some Easter eggs.

Speaker 1 17:08

There are some Easter eggs, yep, yep, yep. Easter eggs, yep. What about you? Did you have any other favorite scenes?

Speaker 2 17:16

Yes, you just touched on it.

Speaker 1 17:19

Yes, right.

Speaker 2 17:20

You touched on it a little bit when they were pulling up to meet the people at the gate. And they get out of the car and she grabs Prince Desmond by the arm and you know I'm going to be my authentic me and she goes over and she's talking to him and you know, saying hello and all that.

Speaker 2 17:43

And it did remind me of Princess Diana and the hashtags I was going to mention that too of all the different hashtags they had. You know, the people's princess, you know, and I just I loved when she opened the gate and the little girl came in and gave her a flower. I could just vision Princess Diana doing the exact same thing, you know, yeah, so yeah, that was my other favorite scene. So what about you? What else Cool?

Speaker 1 18:11

That wraps it up for scenes for me. Should we move on to cheers and jeers? Yes, let's do the cheers All right, what's your biggest cheer, or cheers what you got.

Speaker 2 18:22

I'm going to go back to when she meets the commoners you know at the gate, but I'm not gonna touch on that much, uh, right now. But I loved when they the couple that they met at the bowling alley yeah, I mean, how many people do you meet that are that you know, kind and stuff friendly friendly and you know, and when he made that strike and he kind of just did the little dance, he said the Princeton, yeah, that was so fun. That's something I would do too.

Speaker 1 18:51

Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 18:53

But I thought it was cool at the end when that couple came down to get their mail and when they opened up the mailbox there was an invitation and they were like wow, who's this from? And when they opened it up they realized it was the couple that they had met at the Bowman Alley and they had two first-class tickets to their wedding.

Speaker 1 19:14

That was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 19:15

That was my biggest cheer. What about you?

Speaker 1 19:21

I loved in my cheer section here. I didn't point out so much scenes, I guess as general ideas, but I really like that they didn't make the prince and princess antagonists. They're thrown together out of duty, but they don't hate each other.

Speaker 2 19:36

Right.

Speaker 1 19:42

You know they don't go at it for a little bit realistic view of two adults coming together for a common cause, even though they may not want to, but they do, and they end up having some fun along the way.

Speaker 2 19:56

Yeah, and I was so glad they didn't when she turned them down the first time. I'm so glad it didn't take that long to come back when her sister called her and her sister kind of said you know, I apologize, I didn't mean to throw you into this, but you know, can you do this? And that's when she decided that she would go along and marry the prince. Oh, when she would go ahead and go along with it, Right right.

Speaker 1 20:20

Because she right. I really liked that Princess Beatrix was a free spirit and doing her own thing Again. It's sort of like Princess Diana, but she was more. You know, they made her keep it to herself for a long time, which was an issue, but you know they kind of.

Speaker 1 20:37

She was allowed to go to America. She, you know, he and him. He was too constrained by the job of being a prince, you know, and so he was. It seemed like he was sort of a free spirit, waiting to get out and do some fun things, but had the obligation.

Speaker 2 20:54

Right, right had prince obligations so to speak. Any more cheers from you. Just, I loved the Easter eggs. At the end I thought that was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 21:05

Yeah, that was pretty cool, that was pretty cool, so that was another cheer for me. We talked about this a little earlier. All of the witty quips throughout, just the witty banter throughout the whole movie from several of the different characters, which I really enjoyed. I really liked that no one was trying to break them up.

Speaker 2 21:24

Yes.

Speaker 1 21:25

Or get in the way Right, or anything like that. I thought that you know, like Mallory's parents, mallory, princess Beatrix, mallory the actress, princess Beatrix's parents, the king and queen. They were accepting of both daughters' choices, with, you know, beatrix going to America pursuing her own dream, even though she did charitable not charitable work, but she had a foundation that helped girls.

Speaker 2 21:52

Was it the Allied STEM Foundation? I?

Speaker 1 21:54

thought that was really cool. And then of course, her sister. You know she ended up marrying a commoner, so to speak. So I thought that theme came through and was great, and then I just really liked the best friend. Yeah, chloe, chloe, Chloe, she was great, she was great.

Speaker 2 22:07

And then I just really liked the best friend yeah.

Speaker 1 22:08

Chloe, chloe, chloe. She was great. She was quirky. She came in clutch when it was time to be serious.

Speaker 2 22:14

Yes.

Speaker 1 22:15

And you know, gave some serious advice to Princess Bee and I thought that was great too. So she was like quirky and fun, but she brought it around town when it was time in terms of being serious and you know when she said you're the author of your own story, don't let others control your narrative.

Speaker 2 22:33

Right.

Speaker 1 22:33

You know, they had a talk and she was serious with her, and then they get on a moped.

Speaker 2 22:36

I mean I just thought that dichotomy was pretty fun. That moped scene was funny too, Right, but she did remember when, at the beginning, when they walked into the hotel to meet the prince for the first time Chloe, they're walking in and she goes are you sure you're a princess? Because you like box wine.

Speaker 1 22:56

Oh, that's right, she did. Yes, those are the type I thought was so funny.

Speaker 2 23:02

And when they first met him in the hotel room, the looks on her face when they were going back and forth, because they're two different families. The looks on her face when they were going back and forth, because they're two different families the prince and princess, when the princess and the prince met in the hotel room for the first time, and Chloe is seeing her, authentic her friend that she thought she knew really has an accent.

Speaker 1 23:20

Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 23:23

And another one was when the prince and the princess were in the service elevator and he was kind of nervous of doing it for the first time and he was like we're sneaking out for pizza, not nuclear secrets, oh yeah, just little thing quits like that when the elevator closed.

Speaker 1 23:40

Yeah, that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 23:42

Or the fist bump where the bowling at the bowling alley the couple, when they're outside, he goes to fist bump the prince. But the prince opens up his hand and puts his flat hand on the fist like he didn't know how to fist bump.

Speaker 1 23:55

He did not Right right, Because he's never.

Speaker 2 23:59

So that was some of the cool things that I picked up on. Anything else.

Speaker 1 24:04

You know, I like the hashtags and the texting throughout the movie yes, yes, the social media part of it all. Yes, how social media can influence, yeah a relationship A relationship one way or the other and at first it was negative because she was falling and then it did turn to positive.

Speaker 1 24:24

And you could tell that you know a lot of people say, oh, you know, I don't look at it, it doesn't bother. Could tell that you know a lot of people say, oh, you know, I don't look at it, it doesn't bother me. But you know she was looking at it.

Speaker 2 24:31

Yeah, she was.

Speaker 1 24:32

She liked it when the tide turned and went in her favor more, because it makes you feel good and yeah, I know, I thought it was really really cool. Yeah, brought it modern the royal hashtag royal klutz. Right, hashtag royal klutz when she tripped down the stairs. She fell down the stairs, yeah.

Speaker 2 24:48

But they came around.

Speaker 1 24:48

They always do right, yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 24:51

There was one other thing and I don't know if you noticed it, but I was going to say something. When Chloe and the princess were I think they were at lunch or something and they were talking about the prince and they talked about all his pictures and I was like man, them pictures look like they were on green screen. But later on, when she was with the prince, he brought that up, or she brought it up, and he was like, oh, those were all shot on green screen.

Speaker 1 25:14

I was like vindicated yes, that's right, she was showing her the pictures.

Speaker 2 25:19

Yeah, the polo and the golf and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 25:21

Right, right, right.

Speaker 2 25:23

So I thought that was pretty good, yeah, so you have anything else?

Speaker 1 25:27

I thought that was pretty good. Yeah, so you have anything else? What about Jeer's biggest jeer for you?

Speaker 2 25:31

My biggest jeer is at the end. I didn't see Chloe at the end.

Speaker 1 25:36

Yeah, you said you really wanted her to loop back around. I don't know why they didn't have her in that scene. Honestly, at the very end.

Speaker 2 25:44

Because they had the couple at the bowling alley.

Speaker 1 25:46

Yes, they got a scene there.

Speaker 2 25:48

The Easter eggs. They're sitting there and they didn't have her and they made such a big deal for her to be there and they didn't have his right hand man. I don't want to call him the butler either, but his assistant.

Speaker 1 25:57

Oh right, he wasn't in there either, but I mean, I guess you have to presume that Chloe went back For a while, while Princess Bee stayed.

Speaker 2 26:07

Is she supposed to be the maid of honor?

Speaker 1 26:09

Planned her wedding yeah.

Speaker 2 26:10

All right, what about you?

Speaker 1 26:13

If I had to pick a jeer, I guess it would just be the arranged marriage thing, the whole arranged marriage. I mean, you know, I mean I know they were doing it out of duty, but it's like I don't know today Maybe the royals still, some royal families still do that. I'm sure it does exist.

Speaker 2 26:30

Yeah.

Speaker 1 26:31

You know, in some countries. But I just was like well, if I have to pick something, I would say arranged marriages, especially, you know, with women today. They're too, strong-willed.

Speaker 2 26:43

I agree with you, so you want to rate it.

Speaker 1 26:47

Yeah, let's go Out of corks. How many corks out of five do you give this one?

Speaker 2 26:56

I'm going to give it a five. I just really enjoyed it and I'm glad they didn't cheese it up.

Speaker 1 27:00

No, they didn't cheese it up I thought it was.

Speaker 2 27:02

It gets a five.

Speaker 1 27:03

It gets a five corks from me too.

Speaker 2 27:06

We're on the same page. Yes, I love it, I love it, I love it yes, yes, yes. So is that a wrap?
