It's about you know, Avery's 56 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 4: journey to realize she has to maybe let go a 57 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 4: little bit and what she thinks is best for her 58 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 4: is not always what's right, and so what's it? I 59 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 4: think it tells a nice tale of that, of just 60 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 4: kind of letting go and seeing what happens. Things are 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: meant to happen for a reason, Like everything happens at 62 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 4: the House of Erica is because she's meant to be 63 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 4: there and meant to be reunited. 64 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: And if that's meant to be true or not, if 65 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: they're supposed to be together. 66 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think Lindsay, like, you know, getting the 67 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: scripted me Okay, Well, I'll read this at some point, 68 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I'll do this. 69 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: You know. 70 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 5: It was very gat some point and I kind of 71 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 5: did a version of that myself because I've always wanted 72 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 5: to be with her and work together. There's been versions 73 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 5: of this story, but not this exact premise, and I 74 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 5: thought it just made for a lot of confusion, fun 75 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 5: and Shnanians and great at the perfect recipe for a 76 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 5: holiday movie. 77 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, like it was. 78 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 4: When I read it, I felt like a version of 79 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 4: Meet the Parents, and I love that movie, say good 80 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: And it was like a little like a lighthearted version 81 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: of that less slapstick comedy, but the comedy is there, 82 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 4: and I just that really drew me to it. 83 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: I was like, we need to bring this to life. 84 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: And you you play in the sassy mom, mother in 85 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: law type of character, a little villain. 86 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: This I will say, how do you kneel a perfect villain? 87 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: What are your tips? 88 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 5: I tips are do everything with a smile. 89 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: That's very southern too.

Again. 99 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 6: I know I've been saying this, but like the fact 100 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 6: that I get to show up and be kind of 101 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 6: paid to do this is like should be illegal, you know, 102 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 6: and I just got to have fun. And I think 103 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 6: one of the things I also really loved about this 104 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 6: script was that there weren't like caricatures. 105 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 5: You know. 106 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: It felt having seen like read a bunch of scripts 107 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: for Christmas movies and things like that in the past, 108 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: sometimes what can happen is it's just like tropes interacting 109 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: with the tropes, And as you said, it's like a 110 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: very grounded script and could be a standalone movie that's 111 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: just set in Christmas. And so like, once I read it, 112 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I understand this guy, and I 113 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: understand where he's coming from, and I liked it. Over 114 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: the course of the movie, you're like, I'm not sure, 115 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: like what he's going to do, you know. It's not 116 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 1: like in the first. 117 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 6: Ten minutes I'm like, Okay, he's gonna get with her, 118 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 6: and we all know that. I like that there was 119 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 6: that there is, there's some doubt and and that was 120 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 6: really appealing. And then obviously all the other characters were 121 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 6: just you know, organic and humans. First, Yeah, there was 122 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 6: one thing I was hoping, what happened in this movie 123 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 6: at with the two of you navy or the summer's 124 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 6: not here yet so you can crank one out. 125 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 4: Right, I scheduled she doesn't have. 126 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: Maybe next July when you have some moments exactly exactly. 127 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 128 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: I also loved there was a line in the movie 129 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: I think Lindsay you said, which was, oh, so you 130 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: think she's pretty? 131 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 4: Oh? 132 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: And was I mean that? Clearly it was paying homage 133 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 2: to Mean Girls? 134 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah? 135 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: Was that your idea? Did you? 136 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: It was there? But it wasn't. 137 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: But I once I saw it there, I said, I 138 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 4: was like, this is very Regina George and Mean Girls. 139 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 4: And then I was like, okay, now I have to 140 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 4: say it like Regina would say it. So and then 141 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 4: it came across I think as a direct kind of 142 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 4: easter egg. 143 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: It was so good, and of course because I. 144 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 4: Always wanted to play Regina but Mark Waters wouldn't let me. Yeah, really, 145 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 4: He's like, you're not allowed to play the mean girl. 146 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 4: You have to Blae the nice Girl. 147 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: So you got your moment. 148 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: You got your moment, no, right, and you were united 149 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: with Tin Meadows, who was great as well.

That's what we should 179 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: have spreads the. 180 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: Old slap bag wine. 181 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, but Avery's like not she's I think, yeah, she 182 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 4: was just rushing from her office exactly. 183 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: Exactly one of the themes of this movie. 184 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: And there's so many that I feel like people can 185 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: pull from, which is why I enjoy this movie. It's 186 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: not just all of the typical tropes and cliches. There's 187 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: a lot you can get out of it. One of 188 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: the things I got out of it was and it's 189 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: not a major theme, but the theme of grief, right, 190 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Like you're mourning the loss of your mother in this movie. Yeah, 191 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: And I think so many people, especially around. 192 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: The holidays, feel the grief more, you. 193 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: Know, so, And it's not something a lot of people 194 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: talk about, right because it's not sexy. Who wants to 195 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: talk about it? But I guess my question is what 196 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: are your relationships like with grief and how do you 197 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of put one foot in front of the other 198 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: and just keep going when you are feeling down about 199 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: something like that. 200 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: Oh, prayer is a big thing for me because my grandmother, 201 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 4: I was very closer to my grandfather and my other grandmother. 202 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 4: So it's just like, I feel like you can always 203 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 4: talk to the people that you lost. They're always still 204 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 4: there so that you never have to close that door. 205 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 4: And I think that's a good coping mechanism. 206 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 5: I mean, I know that you were close to them, 207 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 5: and that I know that that's hard. I think feeling 208 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 5: it too like allowing yourself to feel grief and sot. Okay, 209 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 5: it's fine, it's fine. It's like living in it for 210 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 5: a second and then then you can pick yourself back 211 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 5: up and wait till the next time you feel it. 212 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 6: But feeling it, yeah, yeah, you know this is this 213 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 6: is funny you asked this question because I between when 214 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 6: we finished this movie and now, one of my aunt 215 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 6: who I was very close with, passed away in July, 216 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 6: and I think it's okay. You know, she she was 217 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 6: an amazing woman and actually she was a very like 218 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 6: spiritual person, was a theology teacher as well, and she 219 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 6: and I would have these deep conversations about about prayer 220 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 6: and grief and having you know, a deeper meaning and everything. 221 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 6: And since that has happened, I've actually had more of 222 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 6: an experience of like being able to talk to those people. 223 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 6: And it's odd, like when I have a moment of 224 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 6: quiet and like usually in the morning before my son 225 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 6: has risen and chaos and susuh, you know, I have 226 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 6: that moment of like stillness and that's usually when I 227 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 6: can hear those people. And short of going with what 228 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 6: you're saying is like, don't try and put it, push 229 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 6: it down, like, oh, I got a big day, Like 230 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 6: I can't be hit with this wave of sadness right now. 231 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 6: Like no, no, you can be hit with it. Just 232 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 6: let it happen. And it's the more that we experience 233 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 6: it the better, which I think is also you know, 234 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 6: kind of a theme in this movie is like you know, 235 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 6: it's not running from it. 236 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: No, I think you're absolutely right. I so connected with 237 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: that so much show that. Here's a quick story. So 238 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: I was on a flight and there was a really 239 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: sweet grandmother next to me, and she could tell I 240 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: was just having a day, and I was I was 241 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: I was dealing with grief of my own, and she 242 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: reached in her bag and pulled out this little bear 243 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: and this little note. 244 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: And here I have it for each of you. 245 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: And this is for any moment in your life where 246 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: you might be grieving, or if you feel like you 247 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: come across someone who needs it like I need it 248 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: that day. And to your point, I think it's such 249 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: a beautiful theme of the movie. Not that it's all 250 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: about that. It's fun and quirky and all the things, 251 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: but I want each of you to have this. There's 252 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: a little card in there. 253 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: And here. 254 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 4: I am a little pocket bear.

And when I was on that plane, 262 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: I got one and I didn't expect it, and it 263 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: just shifts your perspective a little bit.
