13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: you know, it's more than down here, and it's just

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,680

00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: love that. But yes, I mean I like I would

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,400

00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: and the high School's musical.

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: basking in the festive season. By recapping nineteen ninety six

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: as Wonderful World of Disney movie The Christmas Tree, and

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: it's there has never been a more apply named film,

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: yes in the hiss, since maybe what we were talking

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: about before we went on there Karate Kid, which was

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: literally just about a karate kid. Well, this is about

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: a Christmas Tree, so it's called The Christmas Tree. It's

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: a buddy drama between a big city gardener and a

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: secluded nun over possession of a giant tree. Or it's

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: a buddy drama about a nun and a tree. You

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: could look at it that way too. It premiered on

49
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: ABC December twenty second, nineteen ninety six, predictably, just in

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: time for Christmas, and is based on a New York

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: Times bestseller of the same name from frequent collaborators, writer

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Julie Salomon and illustrator Jill Weber. Salomon began her career

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: as a respected journalist and transitioned into a prolific author

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: in several different genres, from memoir to biography to young adult.

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: It's shot in Pittsburgh, Yes, a new location for us.

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Put a pin on the map that will be probably

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: your second or third pin, and the entire map, because

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: that's they always shoot in the same places. You've got

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Utah with seven hundred of them, You've got Los Angeles

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: with seven hundred of them, and now you got one

61
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh with a few shots in New York. Understandably,

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: and in the lexicon of Disney Channel produced movies, this

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: tear Jerker is memorable for many reasons. The most glaring

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: is a high, very high profile actress making her directorial debut.

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: But we're going to get to that a little bit later.

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Have you been to Rock Center during christ I have?

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: I have?

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,080

Speaker 2: our Christmas tour for the Cheetah Girls, and I got

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: to go see the tree, but we didn't have time

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: to kind of, you know, do the whole ice skating thing.

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: It would be such a dream though, right, I mean,

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: it's so amazing.

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I haven't either. I grew up going to New York

76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: all the time. I see the tree one hundred times.

77
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: Fao Schwartz around Christmas, the original fair Sworts. They moved it.

78
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: It's now like a much smaller place. But the old

79
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: school Fao Schwartz that was three or four stories tall,

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: where they shot big and they just Christmas. It was magic.

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: It was the most amazing places.

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: And you didn't ice skate?

83
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: No, never, I don't know. I mean I can skate,

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: I can't stop. We talked about this. I can do

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: a lot of things on boards, but I can't stop

86
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: on any of them. So skating Yeah, that's a tough

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,520

Speaker 2: or not Jordan's I'm.

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Sure I will. A little history on the Rockefeller Tree.

111
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: By the way, It is a very large Christmas tree

112
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: placed annually at Rockefella Center in Midtown Manhattan, and is

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: one of the states, if not the country's, most recognizable landmarks.

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: Set next to NBC's notorious thirty Rock Studios, Its lighting

115
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: ceremony is broadcast live on the network annually and it's

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: transported in mid November and brightened. I think that's where

117
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: they lighted up. I guess it's like it's technically called

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: being brightened on Wednesday after Thanksgiving and estimated one hundred

119
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: and twenty five million people visit the attraction per year

120
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: and an uncountable amount seat on TV or in the movies.

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: The tree is usually a Norway spruce somewhere in the

122
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: sixty nine to one hundred foot tall range and is

123
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: donated to stand there in New York and then becomes

124
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: lumber after the new year. David Murbach, manager of the

125
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: Garden's division of Rockefeller Center, scouted for the tree in

126
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: upstate New York and nearby states, even venturing into Canada

127
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: right up until his death in two thousand and nine.

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And now the head gardener, Eric Pause, thank you very much,

129
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: is in charge. I was hoping you get that if

130
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: you can believe it. Trees can now also be submitted

131
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: for consideration through the center's website. There is also a

132
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: new television reality game show where trees dress up as

133
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: different characters and sing and they are kicked off one

134
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: at a time until they pick the new tree. I'm kidding,

135
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: of course, that is that is not at all what happens,

136
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: because trees cancing, and for many years it was considered

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: the largest public display tree. But then LA had to

138
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: go and ruin everything in their typical fashion with their

139
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: hundred to hundred and ten foot tree at the Grove

140
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: Shopping Center. What a jerk tree.

141
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: Okay, but I I didn't think that that was a

142
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: real tree anymore. I thought by this time, with it

143
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: being so big, I didn't know they actually still get

144
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: real trees for Rockefella.

145
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: I honestly didn't know that the Groves ever was a

147
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: big tree.

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: And plastic surgery.

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: Well, there's not a lot of forests around us, and

150
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: you know, so, I mean, obviously yes they can, they'll

151
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: they bring it in, but you just don't think of

152
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: LA thinking there'd be I feel like in New York,

153
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: you know that the outskirts of New York there's a lot.

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Of Yeah, you've got that kind of outdoorsy Christmas y tree.

155
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: Kind of yes, yeah, there's not a lot here in

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: La So I never thought that one was real. But

157
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: I was really excited to find out that this was

158
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: a real tree.

159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: Still that all real, isn't that?

160
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: Ne Oh? Wow, it's giant.

161
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Wow wow wow it is. It's huge. Do you already

162
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: know what you're asking for for Christmas? We'll do that later. Okay.

163
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: We asked this every week. Had you heard of the

164
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree movie?

165
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Never? No, never, ever ever?

166
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: And the thing that's interesting is, I think my date

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: with the President's daughter was nineteen ninety seven, Wonderful World

168
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: of Disney. This is nineteen ninety six. I figured I

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: would have known kind of the movies around that era, Rightever,

170
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: never heard of this before?

171
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.

172
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: So before we light this baby up, though, let's get

173
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: into the synopsis. An unexpected friendship blossoms between an elderly

174
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: nun who's been growing a tree for decades and the

175
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Rockefeller gardener who wants to move it to their world

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: renowned Christmas display. Early thoughts, what did you think of

177
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: this movie?

178
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: Sabrina? You know what I was stuck on at the beginning.

179
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: Oh my god, if this isn't a sign of pre covid,

180
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what is him with his snotty rag

181
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: that he's so like five minutes like what is this guy? Ill?

182
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: I mean? And just the idea that he's around all

183
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: these older women. It's so pre covid because all I

184
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: can think of is you're going to get those ladies sick.

185
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the same thing.

186
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: You never would have thought of.

187
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Yep. It's like you're around elderly people, you're getting.

188
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: The mask on, Like, don't even go around them. They

189
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: should not have you in there. Yeah, they're convent.

190
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Did you like it though?

191
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: I would? You know? At first? It's a Christmas movie,

192
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: and I always have good hopes. I do sit and

193
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: watch tons of Hallmark and Lifetime. I love all of

194
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: their Christmas stuff. I think next year, when it comes

195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: to reviewing Christmas movies, we might want to us hop

196
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: over there.

197
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe quickly jump to a Hallmark or Lifetime movie.

198
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: Away from Disney for just a little bit, because I

199
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: think this is just another pin on the board to

200
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: say that Disney's not necessarily the one. Well, we haven't

201
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: found it yet. I mean we there's big movie the

202
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: motion pictures, but the ones that are catered for the

203
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: television just don't seem to hit the greatest mark. I

204
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: went in and out of it, but at the very

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: beginning it was just kind of like, what are we what?

206
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 2: So this is just about getting a tree, right, okay?

207
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: And then once we got our main character telling her story,

208
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: I did start caring and diving in a little bit more.

209
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: But at the beginning, I'm going I mean again, I

210
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: was really caught up with his cold.

211
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: You couldn't get over the cold.

212
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: But it seemed like they kind of brushed over quite

213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: a bit, like I didn't understand what was going on

214
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: with the assistant at first, say like what you know? Wait, yeah,

215
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: and there's all these talks about other women. So it

216
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: was kind of just blotchy for a good minute for me,

217
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: until finally when we start hearing the backstory of this

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: specific nun.

219
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind I actually kind of agree with that.

220
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: I went in, you know it, we'll get into the cast,

221
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: but Andrew McCarthy because it's like, Okay, this is gonna

222
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: be good. And then it felt like a real movie,

223
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. It didn't feel like a Disney

224
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Channel early nineties movie. Because it's a mid nineties, earlier midnights,

225
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: it felt like a real movie. And I was like, okay, great,

226
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: and then I was kind of like, what the hell

227
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: is this? And then I was openly weeping At one

228
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: point by myself. Sue was gone, she was out for

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: the night, and I was like looking at my dog, like,

230
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: what is going on?

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: Right?

232
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it.

233
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: I didn't get to that emotional place down I did,

234
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: and I'm stucker for emotion.

235
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: As we teased before, this movie is directed by a

236
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: superstar and it was her first time behind the camera.

237
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Ready for this, Sally Field directed The Christmas Tree Yes.

238
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Field's career has spanned six decades, first breaking out in

239
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: the hit nineteen sixties show Gidget as the titular surfer girl,

240
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: which again really fun show. She'd go on to appear

241
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: in some of the biggest movies, including Norman Ray, Forrest Gump,

242
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: she was Forest's Mom, Steel Magno, and Missus Doubtfire. She's

243
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: won two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, and three Primetime

244
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Emmy Awards. It would be an easy argument to say

245
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: she is one of her generation's most successful actresses. She's

246
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: just amazing, and though Christmas Tree was her directorial debut,

247
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: she'd only go on to direct one episode of Tom

248
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Hanks's produced miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, my

249
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: favorite miniseries of all time. Go watch it. It's amazing,

250
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: and the two thousand movie Beautiful, starring Mini Driver and

251
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Hallie Eisenberg. Did you know she directed this?

252
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: No, not until I kind of got you know, I

253
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 2: skim for just kind of a quick what we're looking

254
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: at before and that I saw that, and I'm bummed.

255
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: I didn't get it, Like, where was.

256
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Her little just cameo something? Yeah, well she played the tree.

257
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: She was the tree.

258
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: Oh, she was the tree.

259
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: Got it? Got it?

260
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: I would have thought we would have gotten a tiny

261
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: little cameo. I guess she probably was like really wanting

262
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: to yeah, focused on She wasn't here to action. Is

263
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: there to direct?

264
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: What are the chances of getting her to come on

265
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: magical rewind to talk about God?

266
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: I think we've got a really big chance.

267
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think we're gonna shoot for

268
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: the stars. We're gonna get there, We're gonna get there.

269
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: This movie stars Julie Harris, as sister. Anthony Harris was

270
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: a five time Tony winning stage actress who also scored

271
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: three Emmys and a Grammy. So she lives in the

272
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: rare era that Fields does. And Harris was very close

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: to an Egot, which everybody knows is an Emmy, Golden Globe,

274
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: and Oscar and Tony. She was what I said, dang,

275
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: oh Grammy, I said Golden Globe, that was wrong, and Emmy,

276
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She was nominated

277
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: for an Oscar in nineteen fifty two for the movie

278
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: The Member of the Wedding, but unfortunately lost. Other notable

279
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: movies she's in includes East of Eden and The Haunting.

280
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: Harris died in twenty thirteen at the age of eighty seven.

281
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: And Andrew McCarthy is Richard Riley. McCarthy was a member

282
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: of the Infamous Brat Pack, a group of popular young

283
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: actors in the eighties who were taking over Hollywood, starring

284
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and projects together. The group also included names like Amelio Estevez,

285
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, rob Loo, and Demi Moore. McCarthy

286
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: was seen movies like Saint Elmo's Fire, which was not

287
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: a good movie. Less than Zero, which was a great movie.

288
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: Pretty in Pink, which you remember being a good movie

289
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: but actually wasn't. And Mannequin is the same thing. And

290
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: of course Weekend at Bernie's, which is well, weekend at Bernie's, Serena,

291
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: have you seen any of these?

292
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: I've seen Pretty in Pink and I've seen Weekend at Bernie's.

293
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: You never saw a mannequin?

294
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.

295
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: You know what Mannikin's about.

296
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: No, I feel like I'm thinking of a wrong movie

297
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: where a manniquin comes alive.

298
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's the one. Kim Cattrall plays a mannequin.

299
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: She was an ancient Egyptian. Yeah, and she becomes a

300
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: mannequin and he like unlocks her at night and is

301
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: having sex with a mannequin. Yeah, no, I have not

302
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: seen it. I think I've seen a different strange she

303
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: picks them straight.

304
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: Hyra Banks is in My Man.

305
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh yes, the no, no, no, this is from like

306
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. Okay, that was probably that was a remake.

307
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm guessing of this one with Angela.

308
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: No, no, she doesn't have sex with anyone.

309
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: She's like, oh yeah, no, oh yeah, no, not this one.

310
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: He's he's like he puts her. He designs storefronts, and

311
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: he puts her in all the storefronts of a mannequin.

312
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: And she comes live at night and they date, but

313
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: if anybody sees them together, it just looks like it.

314
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: So he's like riding his motorcycle in the streets of

315
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: New York with a mannequin on the back, but then

316
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: she's hugging him, then to mannequin on the back, and

317
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: then he goes down.

318
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's funny.

319
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: You gotta go check it out. It's a weird movie.

320
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy has since went on to direct TV shows like

321
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Gossip Girl, White Collar, Orange Is the New Black, and

322
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: also this year's documentary about his notorious eighties friends group

323
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: called Brats, which did very very well. Triny Alvarado is Beth.

324
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Triny is best known as Meg in the nineteen ninety

325
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: four version of Little Women, and from her role in

326
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,479
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six is Peter jackson horror comedy The Frighteners

327
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: opposite my idol Michael J.

328
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: Fox.

329
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Betty Amberlin plays sister Sarah and maybe her last name

330
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: might ring a bell with some of our people out there.

331
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: She played Lady Amberln from the Land of Make Believe

332
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: for the entire thirty three year run of Mister Rogers

333
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Neighborhood Awesome, and then later in her career she'd form

334
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: an unlikely friendship with the director and writer Kevin Smith,

335
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: and she went on to appear in a lot of

336
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: his movies like Dogma, Zach and Mury Make a Porno

337
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: which is very different than the Christmas Tree, and the

338
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: just released four to thirty movie and all of you

339
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: IMDb heads out there, which that might not be a

340
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: thing dB heads, We'll figure it out. Someone named Colin

341
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Quinn is credited in the movie as Tom and is

342
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: incorrectly linked to the stand up comedy legend of the

343
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: same name, but it's actually Colin with two l's so wrong, guy,

344
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: get your stuff together, IMDb. This movie is ninety two minutes.

345
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: It is hovering over the target, but unfortunately landed two

346
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: minutes beyond, which means it's too long, you go. Like

347
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: I had mentioned, Julia Salomon and Joe Webber wrote the

348
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: original book, so they get story credit, while Sally Field

349
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: and a writer named Janet Bronwell shared teleplay credit. Brownwell

350
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: wrote the salacious TV movie The Amy Fisher Story, again

351
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: not quite the Christmas Tree, and some other TV movies

352
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: like Once Upon a Mattress, Eloise at the Plaza and

353
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: Twelve Days at Christmas. She really runs the gamut. So

354
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: what are we waiting for? Let's chop down this Christmas tree?

355
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh oh no ouch. We open with some classical music

356
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: and credits over close up shots of Christmas trees, only

357
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: to be interrupted by a chainsaw Rockefeller Centers. Richard Riley

358
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: is getting a tour of a forest area and different

359
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: options from Sven, who is a ground keeper lumber jack.

360
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: What are people an arborist? I guess is what he

361
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: would be technically. Richard is not impressed at all with

362
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: what he sees, and he knows his stuff. He also appears,

363
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: as Sabrina has mentioned several times, to have a serious

364
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: case of COVID, but is still out in the world

365
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: and around elderly people. All the time, he is sneezing

366
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: and coughing and covering his nose with a handkerchief. He

367
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: tells then that the tree he picks needs to survive

368
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: until the end of the year, and it's only March.

369
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: A disease tree just won't do. He wants Ven's best

370
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: tree for the world famous Rockefeller Center. But Fenn fnn.

371
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: But Sven takes him to his quote very best, and

372
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: it's even more pitiful than all the rest of them.

373
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 2: It was and it didn't even look like a Christmas

374
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: tree at all. It didn't look like one.

375
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: It was Sven needs to be run out of the business.

376
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: This is a side hustle for Sven. He's like, let.

377
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: Me take you to my better Christmas tree. Here's a

378
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: maple tree. Like it didn't even look like a ninth tree.

379
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: It was like, that's an apple tree. You're not even close. Yeah,

380
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: very very strange. Then Richard gets a call from his

381
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: assistant Beth, and he tells her to call that farm

382
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: in Vermont and get their tree after all, leaving Sven

383
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: in the dust. But unfortunately Vermont called this morning and

384
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: that tree already went to the White House. Also, he

385
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: had a date later that got canceled, which he seems

386
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: to pretend doesn't bother him at all, but we can

387
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: tell it does. He hangs up with Beth, which also

388
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: got kind of flirty in case you work in HR

389
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: for the Rockefellers, but sneezing, coughing, and probably horribly contagious,

390
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: Richard takes a helicopter so small, little tight area and

391
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: scans the woods. When he sees something, it is a

392
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: huge tree all by itself near a large manner. It's

393
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: just perfect, almost a mirage. He's told it belongs to

394
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: Brush Creek, which is a nun convent. He knows what

395
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: he has to do and makes his way to the nunnery.

396
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: He's immediately welcomed by a crabby nun who rejects help

397
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: up the last two steps. I'm old, I'm not dead.

398
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Richard also meets Sister Sarah, a younger nun who appears

399
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: to be working with cheese. Apparently this nunnery is known

400
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: for their cows and their cheeses, which I think this

401
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: is like actually a thing. I know, there's a lot

402
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: of beer, and.

403
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: Just stayed at a convent, right right, yeah, and we

404
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: stayed at the family member has another side of the

405
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: family that has a nun aunt in there, and theirs

406
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: is this awesome like caramel chocolates and that's like their

407
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: thing as well as beer. They also do beer, which

408
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: I was like, what, yeah, I would never yeah, ever know,

409
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's really cool that each hap they all

410
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: have their kind of special thing that they make a

411
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: lot of and they sell and I'm not sure where

412
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: the proceeds like what they did, but it probably just

413
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: for supply.

414
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: And how where the caramels just like the most amazing

415
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: candies you've ever had in it? Right, Yeah, so good.

416
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: They've been perfecting them for like three hundred years. Kind

417
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: of Oh my gosh, I'm gonna need that number of

418
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: that nunnery, if that's okay with you, which is which

419
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: is strange. He eventually meets mother Superior Francis, who's the

420
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: top dog, that informs him they have a working Gary farm.

421
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: And that's when I realized, I don't really know what

422
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: nuns do when they aren't in church, so I guess

423
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: it is stuff like this where.

424
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: They have a whole day. I mean, we would even

425
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: to see his aunt. She'd come over to meet a

426
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: lot of us, and because she's lived there and it's

427
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: out in New York or Boston area, and even to

428
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: get her to come, her schedule was so jam passed.

429
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: It was great an hour here, maybe forty five minutes.

430
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: So we kind of adjusted our schedule around when she

431
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: was available at amazing, got lots to do, way more

432
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: stuffy to do than me they take care of the

433
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: grounds themselves. They do everything pretty much.

434
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: Idle hands of the devil's work, that's what they say.

435
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: Well they do. Mother Superior here, we learn, is also

436
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: very very hard of hearing, and that is going to

437
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: come back in the future. Richard informs her that he's

438
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: interested in the tree, and he's sent to Sister Anthony,

439
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: the final boss on matters just like this, and someone

440
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: who apparently just stands by the tree all day long

441
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: like some kind of a bridge troll. I'm surprised he

442
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: didn't have to answer the questions three before getting there. Also,

443
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Richard can't stop sneezing. He might be dying by this point.

444
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he has the plague. We're not sure. But after

445
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: a long walk, Richard eventually makes it to the tree

446
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: and it is absolutely stunning. It's exactly what he's looking

447
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: for and more. He kicks the trunk to check for disease,

448
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: and Sister Anthony, who's been landscaping, appears. He gives his

449
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: desperate pitch for the tree and the importance of Rockefeller Center,

450
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: but she is absolutely not sold. She questions his experience

451
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: with raising trees. While she rejects him, he gets another

452
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: call from a woman totally ghosting them because she's getting married.

453
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: This dude can't find a tree or a woman to

454
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: save his life.

455
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: I thought those were such weird little.

456
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: Calls that they're just very strange, kind of like, Okay,

457
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: I get what you're doing, but a weird way to

458
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: set it up. Yeah, yeah, it would have been so

459
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: if we shot this movie nowadays, as he's talking to her,

460
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: he would have been getting texts Yes, yes, like no

461
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see you or can I come

462
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: get my stuff or something like that. Yes, yeah, but

463
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: it's strange when he's on the phone the whole time.

464
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: He's affected by this call though, But you know what's

465
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: not affecting him his cold because the tree has oxygen

466
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: healing powers, and Sister Anthony is obviously very connected to Tree,

467
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: which is the creative name she's given him. She's been

468
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: with Tree since she was a six year old orphan.

469
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: This is where we see some flashbacks of her life,

470
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: a format used for the entire movie going forward, and

471
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: she's painting clock faces with other kids and eventually going silent.

472
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: We learned she doesn't talk a lot. We're not entirely

473
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: sure why she was stuck at the orphanage. At this point,

474
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: it was a difficult time in her life, but she

475
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: was protected from bullies by an older boy, Tom, who

476
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: would give her leaves and acorns in a satchel every night,

477
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: telling her they were magical. And I was like, Oh,

478
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: we're setting up Tom. Tom's going to be super important.

479
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: Can't wait to meet Tom as an adult. We don't

480
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: ever see Tom again.

481
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: We don't.

482
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: We don't ever see Tom again. He's gone, He's gone forever.

483
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: Then one day some people took her from the home,

484
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: separating her from her best friend forever again, assuming Tom

485
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: was going to come back, but she still has the

486
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: satchel he gave her, and the tree at her new

487
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: home quickly became her new best friend. In modern times,

488
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: We're back, Sister Anthony introduces Richard to tree and asks

489
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: him to really touch him. Richard embraces the bark and

490
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: is immediately at ease. And this raised a question while

491
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: watching that I didn't see coming. I asked myself, is

492
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: this man going to start a physical relationship with this tree?

493
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: He did it with a mannequin, why not a tree?

494
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: The longest and brave of this tree. It was like,

495
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: and I mean, I've hugged a tree as trying to

496
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: climb using the trunk, like never a comfortable feeling, always

497
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: scratching up your your neck, your arms, your shoulders, your face,

498
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: like there's nothing comfortable.

499
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, seriously, so weird.

500
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: It was so weird. And I get it. This tree

501
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: is very important. I understand that's what we're trying.

502
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: To Like, yes, and he's supposed to have gotten a

503
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: spiritual kind of feeling from it.

504
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: But it was pretty.

505
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: Longer than Molly Ducky in Pretty and Pink. I'm telling you, Yeah,

506
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: it was a lot. Okay, So, Sister Anthony says, some

507
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: people say they feel God in the tree, which is

508
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: obviously what the tree is supposed to represent. It's a

509
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: source of love, which Richard admits he doesn't get much.

510
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: He quickly opens up about his own life, saying he

511
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: needs more comfort from humans. He loves his job, friends,

512
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: and apartment, but Sister Anthony concludes he doesn't have a

513
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: place where he's truly himself or somewhere where he really

514
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: belongs like tree is for her. With this devastating assumption,

515
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: she walks off, leaving Richard to sulk in his pitiful loneliness.

516
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: His cold also comes back. Richard runs after the nun,

517
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: but probably slowly because of the upper respiratory infection. He

518
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: still wants tree, but Sister Anthony says, over my dead body.

519
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: He finds out she teaches art and botany after she

520
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: joked that she teaches sex ed, which is a weird

521
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of joke, but it was fun. Richard again is

522
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: back to sneezing when Sister Anthony asks him to redo

523
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the grounds with her and some of her students. With

524
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: his past and agriculture landscaping, he'd be a really big help,

525
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: but he's still focused on getting the tree for Christmas,

526
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: and that's his most important thing. We get another flashback

527
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: here from her childhood after she was picked up from

528
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: the orphanage and arrives at the monastery. The nuns help

529
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: her talk again, with Sister Francis leading the way. She

530
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: knows these women of God are looking to help her.

531
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Still very overwhelming, and she attempts to run away, only

532
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: to get lost and scared, eventually falling on her face

533
00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: and landing right in front of tree. She cuddled the

534
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: warm and sweet tree and felt immediately safe, And they

535
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: did this thing. Where As she lays down, you can

536
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: see the tree moving and like embracing her, like they

537
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: gave the tree sentient powers a little bit. Yeah, I

538
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: mean they really did. It was trying to, you know,

539
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: embrace her. So she cuddled up and the warm and

540
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: sweet tree and felt immediately safe. She fell asleep there,

541
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: eventually found by Sister Francis, prompting her to speak for

542
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: the first time in a while. She says she wants

543
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: to stay with tree, and so Francis lets her hang

544
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: out there for the whole day. Other nuns came by

545
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: to say hello and meat tree celebrating. Sister Anthony then

546
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: called Anna's new found voice and everything here is very touching.

547
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: They eventually pack up for the night, and this experience

548
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: helped her realize she belonged here with the nuns and

549
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: her tree. This also had me thinking, do nuns just

550
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: adopt kids? Like to hit A bunch of nuns just

551
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: get together and say I want that one.

552
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think that's really a thing. I don't

553
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 2: think it is a thing nowadays. I don't know. I mean,

554
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: I've always thought in my head, nuns there was a

555
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: lot a lot of times where nuns did take care

556
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: of like orphanages, Like when you see in movies. You know,

557
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: Elf is a movie where he starts in like, there's

558
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: like nuns that are taking care of Yeah, these orphan babies.

559
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: So I've kind of thought of that, but there were

560
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: no other kids. This definitely was not a orphanage.

561
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: It was they just adopted this kid.

562
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: They just like adopted her. Yeah, so, but you do

563
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: kind of have that common think idea of that nuns

564
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: do take care of other babies that don't have family.

565
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: I can see them running that first orphanage, but I

566
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't see eight nuns just to die. It was like

567
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: a sitcom. Yeah, they made of us adopted a kid.

568
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 1: It was really weird. She also reveals she's always had

569
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: a recurring nightmare. She sees a beautiful, glowing shooting star

570
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: and she tries to touch it, but as she gets close,

571
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: a scary beast tries to bite her. Sister Francis's main

572
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: message about Tree is that people aren't supposed to be

573
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: alone in this world. Everyone must find their metaphorical tree

574
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: and accept it. And all this speaks right to our

575
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: Lona Richard. We see him arrive at home to no

576
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: One and one message from missus Beth and another from

577
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's another girl telling her she's back together with

578
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: her ex. I mean, this guy must just be a

579
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: horrible date all the way around. He stares off sad

580
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: as hell and starts drinking. That's just Tuesday. Now it's July.

581
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: In the office and Richard has finally found a tree.

582
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: He embraces Beth and they hold each other for too long,

583
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: like he did with the tree, originally creating an awkward moment.

584
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: We learn that Richard has been getting numerous letters and

585
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: different crafts from Sister Anthony. He seems a little annoyed

586
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: by it, but she still wants him to come help

587
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: her gardening class. He calls the monastery, but Mother Superior

588
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: is so hard of hearing. She thought he said he

589
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: was coming to help, so now he's stuck. Also, Beth

590
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: asks him over for dinner, and he'll try, but he's

591
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: going to swing by the monastery. First sounds like a

592
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: weird excuse. We are now in Sister Anthony's greenhouse. Richard

593
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: lets her know he found a different tree for Rockefeller

594
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: Center and he doesn't have time to help her with

595
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: any landscaping. He also admits that his dad was a lawyer,

596
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: so the idea of ever turning his gardening interest into

597
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: a profession was never possible for him. She wonders if

598
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: he truly is doing what he loves. Richard wants to

599
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: get back to the city for dinner with Beth, but

600
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Sister Anthony, who explains she has degrees from Emerson and Yale,

601
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: quotes Richard Frost. We get another flashback but her education

602
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: at Brush Creek. She learned French piano and math from

603
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: the nuns, but her real education was from being with

604
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: and playing around Tree. This is where she learned to

605
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: read and look for that big star from her nightmares,

606
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: which she of course never found. She also gets common

607
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: flashbacks of holding a man's hand. Her mentor, Sister Mary,

608
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: eventually had to leave to go help in the war,

609
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: leaving Annah very angry and sad. This might be where

610
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: I started crying. She doesn't even say goodbye, but Sister

611
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: Mary knows her heart is saying it for her and

612
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: asks Tree to take care of her. Three months after

613
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: she left, Sister Mary was killed in a bombing attack

614
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: and received the Medal of Bravery. Sister Anthony and Richard

615
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: end up crying from the story, so did I, but

616
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: are interrupted when the group of students come running for

617
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: their lesson. Richard decides to join after all, which leads

618
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: us to Beth, his very sad assistant, now alone and

619
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: listening to Fourth of July music on the radio. Eventually,

620
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: Richard does arrive, covered in dirt and sweat. He made

621
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: it just in time for the fireworks, and they almost kiss.

622
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: Then we cut to the next time we see him.

623
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: They are a full blown couple at a cafe. It

624
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: appears she still works room as well, and that must

625
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: be offered for everybody else in the office, especially because

626
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: she's still getting calls about other women he's dated. Okay, Sabrina,

627
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: let's work out some dates here the tour case. Because

628
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: I didn't get it.

629
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, Sabanci, like, what is this? Nothing's explained. I'm irritated.

630
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I miss something. I am not

631
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: going back and watching it.

632
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm not rewinding.

633
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: I will not rewind. I will just ask questions.

634
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: So the movie starts in March. Yes, okay, a number

635
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: of months have passed, so how long have they been

636
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: dating by this point.

637
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. A few even if there was

638
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: think about it as you do, I do kind of

639
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: obviously we're watching these, we're streaming these, so there are points.

640
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: So there was obviously a commercial break there, but even

641
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: if I came back from a commercial break, and then

642
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: they're now in this full blown relationship and they don't

643
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: even give you like the subtitle thing at the bottom

644
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: going three months.

645
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: Later or the old thing of the last autumn tree,

646
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: like the leaf falling from the tree. So yeah, that's

647
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: like that, like something like that, yes, something, it's.

648
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: Just like, oh my wait. And then because as we'll

649
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: get into it, like they're talking about, they just move

650
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: on very quickly from here and he freaks out. But

651
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know if I should not like

652
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: him right now because he's is he freaking out too much?

653
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: I'm freaking out because you guys didn't even kiss thirty

654
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: seconds ago because you had.

655
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: And now yeah, so that's okay.

656
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, we don't get to see your

657
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: first kiss. What the hell is going on here? It

658
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: was very strange's first kiss, Like you can't just cut

659
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: that out. That's garbage, garbage.

660
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if they ever even shot it. But you're right,

661
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: no first kiss.

662
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: No first kiss, crazy, So we don't know how long.

663
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: They been together, but Beth lets him know that his

664
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: landlord called he'll be raising the rent at the end

665
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: of his lease and was giving him notice. Richard says

666
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: he'll have to move because he can't afford it, but

667
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: Beth's just they move in together. So again, this was the.

668
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: Best girlfriend trying to move in move I have seen,

669
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: because she's the one that got the message right and

670
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: she just throws it out like, Hey, your landlord called.

671
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: You know they're gonna raise about that. She's like He's like, oh, well,

672
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: I guess I'm gonna have to move and she's like, well,

673
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: actually I've already thought about that.

674
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

675
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: He was so slick on it. I was like, yes, okay,

676
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: now she's a little gangster and now I'm back in

677
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: with Beth like her.

678
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: But this is where not showing us how long the

679
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: relationship changes the movie, because if they've been together for

680
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: two years, he's an If they've been together for two weeks,

681
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: she's crazy crazy. So which which one are we supposed

682
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: to know?

683
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I was like, I don't know if

684
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: I should like think he's he's like a jerk or

685
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: she's insane. I don't know, because how long they've been dating.

686
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the two.

687
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: They have been friends for a very long time. Looks

688
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: like she obviously worked with him for a long time.

689
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: But you can tell like he was not into it.

690
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: Now he is, Okay, slow your role, let him take

691
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: his time. Yeah, you're even if it was six months,

692
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: that's kind of a lot to move in together.

693
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Now. Granted they're supposed to be what

694
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: probably late thirties, so it's not like their young twenties

695
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: kind of things like you do hit an age where

696
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: you kind of you know, I know, you pooper, get

697
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: off the pot, as they would say. Yeah, But at

698
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: the same time, I'd like to know how long they

699
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: were dating. So I know it's just so he was

700
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: gangster and I'm back on me. But Richard, of course,

701
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: being a man, laughs are off and asks if they're

702
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: ready for side by side toothbrushes. By the way, I

703
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: don't care what anybody says. The key to a healthy marriage,

704
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: separate bathroom, She says, she is, but he doesn't want

705
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: financial reasons to force him into cohabitation. That's perfectly reasonable,

706
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: and he is saved by the bell when the phone rings.

707
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: It's yet another girl, who he says is someone that

708
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: he works with. But Beth seems rattled. He has too

709
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: many things going on and it's hurting her feelings. She

710
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: leaves an ultimatum, which all men love. He needs to

711
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: figure out what he wants and get back to her.

712
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: We are now back at the monastery. Sister Mary is

713
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: talking a tree and is shocked when she sees Richard

714
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: sitting at his trunk. He's very depressed about Beth and

715
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: came for some advice. Mary tries to consul him about love,

716
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 1: and Richard sarcastically asked, how would you know. He apologizes

717
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: and she explains that when she you know, I love

718
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: this because they always say this, like I wasn't born

719
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: a nun. And when she was eighteen, before she was

720
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: officially a nun, she met a plumber named Roy. He

721
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: was so nice and cute and all the two of

722
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: them together could have been so happy.

723
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: And I love that actress that played the young Anna.

724
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: She was great, adore. Yeah, the two of them together

725
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: were a stag on TV camera, like a great TV couple.

726
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: She met a plumber named Roy working on the property

727
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 1: who was so taken by her. He stumbled while trying

728
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: to talk to her, which was just so cute. They

729
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: had a romance, keeping each other company and while they

730
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: did their respective work. She even introduced him to Tree.

731
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: When the plumbing job was finished, Roy and his dad

732
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: were going to move to Florida, but after having just

733
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: one dance and a kiss under Tree, he says he

734
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: will always love her and asks her to move with him.

735
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: She says, even though she loves him, she can't, but

736
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: just as the car leaves, she grabs her satchel and

737
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: runs to meet him. But she can't catch up. And now,

738
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: because she's a slow runner, she never gets a chance to.

739
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: See run and Roy clearly can't hear. I just felt

740
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: like there was no no communication, no reason why he

741
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 2: couldn't have seen her in the rear view mirror.

742
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: I also don't know she was running to join him.

743
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: I think she just was running after the car, kind

744
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: of like Tom at the beginning. It was mirroring Tom

745
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: saying goodbye to her. Oh yeah, you know, like I

746
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: think it was, yeah.

747
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: Just for like an the moment to say goodbye. Maybe

748
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that I'm such a whimp and can't leave

749
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: these grounds.

750
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: This is how yeah, exactly terrible. My head is. I

751
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: thought they were going to reintroduce Tom, who she was

752
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: going to fall in love with Tom, and then Tom

753
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: was going to be sent off to the war and killed.

754
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: That's WoT I thought Roy was about to get in

755
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: a car accident.

756
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: Can we both go so dark with these things? I

757
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: thought a media was gonna wipe out the entire nunnery

758
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: just right there. That's what I thought was about to happen. Man,

759
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: we go dark with these things, Sabrida.

760
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I was like, because the clear, like continual

761
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: thing that has happened to this poor woman is like

762
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: people being stripped away from her. So I thought, for

763
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: sure thought Roy was goner. Like that's why she was

764
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 2: running because I didn't know because she said she didn't

765
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: want to go, but that she's running it only to

766
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: see him.

767
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: Corner and a big break, says, I love you. Somebody

768
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: is hit by a bus.

769
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 2: That is terrible.

770
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: We were once again back in modern day. She had

771
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: she was scared, she didn't want to leave when she knew.

772
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: Richard is shocked to hear she's never left the monastery.

773
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: She warns him, don't listen to your fears, but Richard

774
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: says she doesn't practice what she preaches and kisses her

775
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: on the cheek, and it's a very nice relationship between

776
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: the two of them. Yes, next thing you know, we're

777
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: in a massive snowstorm and the windows smash out the monastery,

778
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: so Sister Lucia is sick and the phones and the

779
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: lights have all gone out. Sister Anthony decides to write

780
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: Richard a letter, which to me, in my head, I

781
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, we're having an emergency. I

782
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: better write him a letter. So he gets it a

783
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: week and a half from now. But that's not how

784
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: it turned out. That's what I mean. None of that mattered.

785
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: She'll get to him the next time he comes.

786
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 2: It's like, it's like, this is your goodbye letter. The

787
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: storm over to you.

788
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: Exactly why the storm. The storm has left us here. Stop.

789
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: We can not have with the tree. Stop. She continues

790
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: her origin story at this point, saying that after Roy left,

791
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: she lost her satchel. She panicked and searchs the house

792
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: for hours. She ran to tree and begged for help.

793
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: She's reprimanded by a younger Sister Lucia to go back

794
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: to the house and pray. Shea says the bag is

795
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 1: not her comfort, but God is he's in her heart

796
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: and that's what she must find. So they light candles

797
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: and they pray to Saint Anthony, the Saint of lost souls,

798
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: for the return of her bag. During the session, she

799
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: feels at peace, like how she felt with Tree, and

800
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: her nightmares aren't so scary anymore. The bright Star suddenly

801
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: feels okay, and the next day Sister Lucia found the

802
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: satchel in the woods and Anna professes her love to

803
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: the heart. None. That was another very sweet moment. It

804
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: was that day she decided to become a nun herself

805
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: and live a life like Sister Lucia, who she is

806
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: now taking care of. Back at work, Thank god, Richard

807
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: has found a new assistant. Yikes for jes she doesn't

808
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: seem very good at her job. Richard now is Sister

809
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: Anthony's letter and is continuing to read it to Beth.

810
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: Beth is now working for someone else at the office

811
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: and is still waiting for Richard to sack up and

812
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: move in with her. Sister Anthony tells him that the

813
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: tree was totally fine after the snowstorm, which is a relief,

814
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: but she wants to see him again soon. He obliges

815
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: and drives out to the monastery. By the way, he

816
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: must be just racking up the miles on his car

817
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: if he lives in New York City. I mean, this

818
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: is a lot of traveling. But he finds out that

819
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: tree is entering the final stage of his life. Sister

820
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: Anthony knows that trees only live about seventy and he

821
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: is definitely older than that. She asked him if he

822
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: has yet found a tree for this year, and he says,

823
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: it's only February, which made me go.

824
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 2: What, we skipped an entire Christmas? I mean again, I'm

825
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 2: going I have no idea what the time?

826
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: You know? I don't either.

827
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: Is it over a three year period?

828
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: Is it? I mean, they don't let us know.

829
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 2: They don't know, had some type of Christmas scene of

830
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: some sort, something like the time has gone and past

831
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: that he did not get the year, this tree at

832
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: all for the year.

833
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird.

834
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: Again, it stopped me in my like, wait, I agree,

835
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: And again, I am not rewinding.

836
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going backwards. We're not going backwards. That's it

837
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have mattered. No, even if you were around it,

838
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have mattered. They did not let you know

839
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: the timeline of what is happening at all in this

840
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: movie was very which is strange for a flashback movie

841
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: because tiny in a flashback movie is imperative to the

842
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: story exactly.

843
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 2: You have to keep your audience knowing where they are

844
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: are once they come back from the flashback.

845
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree with what is happening. So yeah,

846
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: it would we should have just yes, I agree, get

847
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: your together, Sally Field. Anyway, after much thought, because it's

848
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: Sally Field, Oh god, are you kidding, I would first

849
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: get on bended knee and I'd be like, television, Sally Field,

850
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: I love you so much? What's sorry? Goes up with

851
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: the timeline of the Christmas Tree?

852
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: Can we talk about it?

853
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: She would be like, do you want to talk about

854
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: Forrest Gump? Mi Emmy's I'd be like, nope, no Christmas Tree.

855
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 2: When you were directing and the editing process, how did

856
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: we not realize that we don't have any footage of

857
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: any of the timeline.

858
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: Is Beth crazy? That's all we need to know? Is

859
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: Beth crazy? Anyway? After yes, is she against it? Or

860
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: is she crazy? Is he an ass? Or is she crazy?

861
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: Because it's one of the two. Anyway, after much thought.

862
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: Sister Anthony wants Richard to take her Tree. She wants

863
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: it to be the best it can be. She needs

864
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: to let Tree move on with grace and dignity. Richard

865
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: cannot believe what he's hearing. He has insurance for the best.

866
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: If Tree is moving on, what about her? Richard wants

867
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: her to seize the day in the same way. She's

868
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: still carrying the satchel, and Richard thinks there's something she's

869
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: not telling him about it. He notices the bag has

870
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: a zipper and it's made from an old pair of trousers,

871
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: and he knows that young Tom could not have made

872
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: that bag. He knows that a part of the story

873
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: is missing, but she gets emotional and says she doesn't know.

874
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: She makes him promise to take Tree. We are now

875
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: back at Beth's. A flustered Richard shows up with no warning,

876
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: and she's getting ready for a date with some dude

877
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: named Evan who we'd all probably hate. And Evan's probably

878
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: the best thing that ever would have happened to me,

879
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: and now she'll never know. He tells her about the

880
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: latest with Tree, and he says he can't do it.

881
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: It's meant too much to Sister Anthony. He admits part

882
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: of him is missing and he's been too frightened to

883
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: love something or someone like the nun loves the tree.

884
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: Just as her date arrives, he says he loves her

885
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: and leaves, just crossing paths with Evan at the door,

886
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: making her look like a real Trollope. Yes, I'm using

887
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: that word, by the way, for the record, she looks

888
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: like a trollop because she has two dates, He's had

889
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: forty two women.

890
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 2: Call and yet he's still the guy like he's getting

891
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: she's getting caught, and she did not even invite him

892
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 2: over Nope. And it's like what we I was waiting

893
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: to see, Like, what would you say to that situation?

894
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: He's my brother, he doesn't look.

895
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: Like me nowadays I'd be like, oh, thank you, tell him.

896
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: I'm a plumber, which is funny because that was Roy's

897
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: it did, but it just also kind of like, what

898
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: would you say, Oh that looks bad?

899
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: How about hey, sorry, Evan? I was just getting some

900
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: strange before our date.

901
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just.

902
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: That was pretty gaming.

903
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 2: Does that work?

904
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: I want it to be relaxed on our date. Thank you, stranger.

905
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: That could have worked, Probably not it's.

906
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 2: Gotta happen with like bumble stuff all the time. It's

907
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: gotta happen like a brunch day on a Sunday and

908
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: afternoon date and a date dating anything. There's guys out

909
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: there and girls out there that play the game.

910
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: Back, Thank God, Please don't judging.

911
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: I just don't want to be a part of it.

912
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm not judging either. I just don't. I don't. I

913
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: don't want to play the game. I'm not judging the game.

914
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: I just don't want to play it. Later, Richard's at

915
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: his place and Beth shows up. She wasn't into Evan.

916
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: She showed up with some wine. They cheers and kiss

917
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: to accepting Tree as the new Rockefeller Tree. The next day,

918
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: Richard's cruz removing Tree as the Nun watches on, Sister

919
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: Anthony and her friends decide to give it a moment

920
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: of prayer, singing and spraying it with holy water, which

921
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: is really awesome. Even the construction workers remove their hard hats.

922
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: It was a very sweet scene. Once I did too,

923
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: the singing together, it was really great. Once done, Sister

924
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: Anthony decides she'll stay with Tree, even if it takes

925
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: a few days to remove him. Properly, so Beth joins her.

926
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: As each branch is packed for transportation and the final

927
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: cut is prepared, we hear a chainsaw and Sister Anthony

928
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: and he breaks down into tears. As it's finally cut

929
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: down and placed on a flatbed. Richard escorts her to

930
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: the trunk and she feels around to learn that he

931
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: was seventy five feet. I think that also, you also

932
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: have to figure out how I think that's the age too,

933
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: he's seventy five years old.

934
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: Well to tell how old a tree rings?

935
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: The rings I think she counted the rings. It was

936
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: seventy years old. Yeah, yeah, something like that. She has

937
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: what was the tallest tree ever? The record was ninety

938
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: eight feet, but she knows even if he's not the

939
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: tallest ever, he is the most beautiful. Everyone agrees. Sister

940
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: Anthony says one last goodbye, crying into one of his branches,

941
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: and walks home alone. I've never felt so much for

942
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: a tree in my life. We returned to the monastery.

943
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: All the nuns are rushing to a van. They're traveling

944
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: to the city as quote unquote guests of honor for trees,

945
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: big lighting ceremony, But Sister Anthony has decided not to go.

946
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: Just then, Richard drives up in a fancy I love this.

947
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: Richard drives up in a fancy sports car that's so

948
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: expensive it's probably the reason he can't afford that rent increase.

949
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: But he also comes in pissed, like he's like I'm

950
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: getting her.

951
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like yeah.

952
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, which was kind of fun. But he has a

953
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 1: lot of work to do, but nothing is more important

954
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: than what he has to do at Brush Creek. He's

955
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: there to convince Sister Anthony to attend. Richard tells her

956
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: how important she's been to him. She's taught him about

957
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: love and following his heart. She needs to now see

958
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: Tree being the best he could be. He says he

959
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: will be there for her and won't let go of

960
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: her hand. He begs her to trust him, crying again,

961
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: and his words, of course, trigger a new flashback. She

962
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: took a lot of acids, so she's been flashing a

963
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 1: lot lately. She now sees her father. She remembers standing

964
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: in line for soup during the depression. She was scared.

965
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: He was the one who made the bag, and the

966
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: star she's been seeing in her dreams is starting to

967
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: make sense. With that she decides to get in Richard's

968
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: car and go to the Big City. It's the night

969
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: of the Big Rockefeller set her ceremony, and Richard is

970
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: taking care of a very nervous Sister Anthony. They walk

971
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: through the crowd and Sister Anthony starts to see moments

972
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: of her childhood and her dad. She figures out she

973
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: was at the lighting ceremony before with her dad as

974
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: a kid. The star she always saw on her nightwear

975
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: was from the star from the tree from Rockeveller Center

976
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: talk about Kismet. Her dad didn't leave her. He was

977
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: unfortunately very sick and he died, and this was an

978
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: important memory that she had just unlocked. And it took

979
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: her to see the tree, and now it's her tree.

980
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: It's come full circle. She wishes Richard a merry Christmas

981
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: and yells Merry Christmas to tree. Beth joins them and

982
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: we hear reading of a new letter that she sent.

983
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: We pull away from a now illuminated tree becoming a

984
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: simple moment of beauty, and she is very proud. End

985
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: of movie. You didn't cry it all, not one, Oh

986
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: my god, I know. Didn't you cry during Johnny's tsunami

987
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: or something.

988
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 2: Yes, that's why it was weird. I don't know why

989
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 2: if I've just in a mood. I mean, like, especially

990
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 2: Christmas movies, they usually really get me, no matter how

991
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: cheesy or corny the storyline is, they usually always get me.

992
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 2: But this didn't. I did really love the the flashbacks.

993
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: I did.

994
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: I did like that, but you know, just to I

995
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 2: didn't cry. I thought I would, but it just did

996
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 2: not happen to me. It couldn't get there emotionally.

997
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, maybe a hot take

998
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: of this movie. It didn't feel like a Christmas movie

999
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: to me at all at all. I get what they

1000
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: were doing, and I think the idea of how the

1001
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: like a Christmas movie based around the tree at Rockefeller

1002
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: Center and how we get it and giving that wonderful

1003
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: idea that's a cool idea didn't feel like a Christmas

1004
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: movie to me. It felt like a play, which again

1005
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: I'm down for. I dig a nice quiet movie. Occasionally

1006
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: I two actors sitting in a room and talking for

1007
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 1: two hours.

1008
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: Assume this is going to be based all around the holidays,

1009
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: and it's yeah, which I knew it couldn't have been,

1010
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: because you know, being that we were at a monastery

1011
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: like that would have been a lot more religious. This

1012
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: was this absolutely did go to a religious level that

1013
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: we have not seen on any of the movie at

1014
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: this point. Talking about her father and the father that's

1015
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: been watching.

1016
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: Her, and the tree is clearly God or supposed to

1017
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: be faith or your connection.

1018
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1019
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: Well they even have the symbolism of the Son of

1020
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: God because she now has the offshoot of the tree

1021
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: that she's going to reap again. Yes, yeah, so it's

1022
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's all this kind of sim you know,

1023
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: religious symbolism in this movie. Definitely, totally so.

1024
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 2: But I knew that being the case, it wasn't going

1025
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: to be like Christmas Tree Santa Claus, because that Christmas

1026
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 2: Tree goes to Santa Claus. It does not go to

1027
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: the Birth of Jesus, right, you know, I knew we

1028
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: weren't really going to go there.

1029
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: Do you know where they actually think the Christmas Tree

1030
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 1: came from. No, So in ancient Egypt, on the longest

1031
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: day of the year, people would bring in one big

1032
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: palm fron into their home to celebrate the longest day

1033
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: of the year. So they think that is actually the

1034
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: origin of the Christmas tree.

1035
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, wouldn't that be in July for us?

1036
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, the dates are all right. I mean everything

1037
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: else has been moved around for the Pagan calendar. But yes, yeah,

1038
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: it was all over the place.

1039
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: But yes, okay, so well, yeah I did end up not.

1040
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: I just I didn't not like this movie in any sort.

1041
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I I double negative. That's tricky. What do you I

1042
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: don't know what you meant.

1043
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 2: I did it, I wasn't. I I liked it, but

1044
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't love it, right, and I definitely

1045
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 2: didn't hate it.

1046
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: Right. Okay, I kind of feel the same way. But

1047
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: let's do let's see what some other people thought, and

1048
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: let's do some real reviews. And I think I have

1049
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: the five star. This is from Karen Way to Go.

1050
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: Karen.

1051
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: Karen s has a five star. She said, when the

1052
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree was on, the phone rang it was my mother.

1053
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: I had picked up the phone without really thinking. All

1054
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: I said was that the best Christmas movie ever was

1055
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: on and I could not talk right then and hug

1056
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: up the phone, not answering again until the show ended.

1057
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: I have a big flowering crab that grows in front

1058
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: of my house that gives me so much pleasure during

1059
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: every season, and I sometimes think of it as tree.

1060
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: I agree with others. Why do they not replay this

1061
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: movie on TV? Five stars?

1062
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 2: All right? So what do you got related to that?

1063
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,919
Speaker 1: It struck her right where she lived.

1064
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 2: Yes, she's in that whole wheelhouse of she is talking

1065
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 2: to plants. Awesome, I talked to plants. I have a

1066
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: really good friend who like sings to them. She puts

1067
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: good music out to her. I'll tell you she does

1068
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 2: have quite giant vegetables like bell peppers and cucumbers.

1069
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: Or is that an aphemism?

1070
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 2: If I ever meet her, I knew you were gonna

1071
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: say that. I'm like, he's gonna say I didn't want so.

1072
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: I tried to put in bell peppers first.

1073
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: I want to meet Sabrina's fram with the big vegetables.

1074
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: But she really does she puts out like I feel

1075
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 2: like she puts out. I don't know. There's a certain

1076
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 2: she's got big vegetables and she puts out, Oh my gosh,

1077
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: oh my god. All right, moving on to this one

1078
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 2: star getting will out of the gutter here all right?

1079
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: This one star review is from Peter J. It's about

1080
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 2: a nun and a tree and a guy. Who befriends

1081
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: them both. Not much more to it than that. Kind

1082
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 2: of true, Peter.

1083
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: It's kind of true, Peter.

1084
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 2: I wouldn't give it one star, but it's kind of true, Peter,

1085
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 2: kind of true.

1086
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: Well, we are now to the wonderful portion of a

1087
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: program that is, of course Sabrina's favorite every week, which

1088
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: is our feature. We do get a bit of a

1089
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: break today though, because your your nemesis producer Jensen Is

1090
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: he took the week off. He is is a bit

1091
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: under the week he did. So we have a new

1092
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: a new crew that's going to be helping us out

1093
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: this week. And this feature is entitled Him or Her

1094
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: So IMDb incorrectly credited comedian Colin Quinn as Tom in

1095
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: this movie when it's actually just a different actor with

1096
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: the same name and one extra L in their name.

1097
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: To commemorate this mistake, we will get the born government

1098
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: names of five famous people that are coincidentally also the

1099
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: names of another celebrity. We have to figure out what

1100
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: name they change their name to. If we get three

1101
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: out of five, we win. Does it mean like what

1102
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: the other Michael Jordan changed their name to something else

1103
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: and then have become famous? So it's like, what did

1104
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: the other Michael Jordan change their name to? Is that

1105
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: what it is?

1106
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Michael B. Jordan, right, Okay, well I.

1107
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: Think Sabrina might have already gotten the first one. So

1108
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: let's see if we're right. So the first min so

1109
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: is Michael Jordan, then Michael B. Jordan. Correct, Okay, so

1110
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 1: that's one. The so number two then is Kate Hudson.

1111
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: So there's a second Kate Hudson.

1112
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: I think I don't know why I want to say

1113
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: Katie Hudson.

1114
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: Really, I was gonna say Kadie, maybe Katie Holmes, but no,

1115
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: she would be before, wouldn't she Kate? Who would come

1116
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: after Kate Hudson? Kate, I don't know, I'm gonna say

1117
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: Katie Holmes.

1118
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 2: Okay, you're both incorrect.

1119
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: It's Katie Perry.

1120
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know.

1121
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: So how the hell are we supposed to just guess

1122
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: random people? This is the worst game ever?

1123
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 2: Well, like, if you know, I mean, because I know

1124
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: of Michael B.

1125
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: Jordan's I'm right, But that's an easy one. This one

1126
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: Kate Hudson. I didn't know that was changed.

1127
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 2: So Katie Perry's original name name was Kate Hudson.

1128
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: Okay. The other Albert Einstein. Oh, I know this. It's

1129
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: Albert Brooks. Okay, who is he Albert Einstein?

1130
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 2: No Brooks.

1131
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: Oh, Albert Brooks is a is an actor, huge actor.

1132
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: He was in Defending Your Life and I mean a

1133
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: thousand different things. You'd recognize him if you saw him.

1134
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: Am I right? Is it Albert Brooks?

1135
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 2: Yes, you're correct.

1136
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: The other Michael Douglas. I'd say Kirk Douglas, but that's

1137
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: just his dad. Yeah, Michael, maybe it is, though maybe

1138
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: he's a junior.

1139
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe Kirk.

1140
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't think k I'm gonna go with that, Okay,

1141
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: Michael Douglas. She's gonna say Kirk Douglas. I'm gonna say

1142
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan. No, see Michael Douglas would go to

1143
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: Oh God, I don't know. I don't know who it is.

1144
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 2: It's okay, it's Michael Keaton. Oh whoa Okay, okay.

1145
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: And finally our last one is we mercifully come to

1146
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: the end of this difficult game. This might as well

1147
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: have all just been math. I know the other Elizabeth Mitchell,

1148
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: an actress from Lost. I'm going to say Elizabeth Moss.

1149
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: I have no idea it's Elizabeth Banks. Oh yeah, so

1150
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 2: you guys bought I don't know who. Yeah, we lost.

1151
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: This is a terrible game, whatever happened, and knowing what

1152
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: a turkey is and bowling things and my god, oh

1153
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: my okay, well.

1154
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 2: There we go school. I do love knowing that Kate

1155
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 2: Hudson was actually Ka Perry.

1156
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: There you go, and Elizabeth Mitchell was actually Michael Douglas.

1157
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: What are the chances of that? Can we do some sabrinas.

1158
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 2: We can? So I don't actually have a ton here

1159
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: that we didn't already kind of go over. The first

1160
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 2: one was what is this man's COVID gold? And why

1161
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 2: isn't he protecting anyone else from?

1162
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: Why is he trying to kill us?

1163
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: There was just to meet. Their relationship kind of had

1164
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,439
Speaker 2: a lot like whenever they were on screen him in Beth,

1165
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: their relationship had a lot of quirky what is going on?

1166
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 2: What can't really I couldn't really figure out the dynamic

1167
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 2: they made it seem by the time they were actually

1168
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 2: dating that they had kind of date. Like when she

1169
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 2: was giving him the ultimatum, it seemed like she had

1170
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: she was giving him that he had known that she

1171
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 2: was dating or like interested in him for a long time,

1172
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 2: where it wasn't played that way earlier in the movie. No,

1173
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 2: but she comes in when he's on the phone and

1174
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 2: she's interrupting him so much. I want it. I felt

1175
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: like when Monroe gets comes into the room and needs

1176
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 2: like a glass of water and I'm on the phone,

1177
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 2: and I was like, I wanted him to just like

1178
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: pull his phone back and be like, who.

1179
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: About the same thing.

1180
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. That I was very upset again about

1181
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: that first kiss. Then there was this weird from the

1182
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 2: They come back from you know, commercial break or whatever,

1183
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 2: and they're now in a full blown relationship at this

1184
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 2: cafe eating breakfast together. She comes out of nowhere, then

1185
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 2: sits and you can tell they had already been eating.

1186
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: And then the bill comes and then he's looking around

1187
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 2: for his wallet. She then pays the bill, which I

1188
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 2: was like, she just pays the bill. He totally thinks

1189
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: that's normal. They get up and not that that's bad.

1190
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: It's not that girls can't pay, but it's just like

1191
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 2: it was that. And then like she had the key

1192
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: his key for his apartment. Yeah, he didn't even have

1193
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: this weird Yeah, he didn't have his key. He kept

1194
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: like looking for anything. It was this weird dynamic that

1195
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 2: that that scene. I kind of was like, I don't

1196
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 2: understand and again at that point and to figure out

1197
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 2: how long they've now been together. But that was just

1198
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 2: like a really frustrating part for me the movie. I

1199
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 2: couldn't get over it. And then they did another thing

1200
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 2: which I hate when people do. It's not just if

1201
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 2: I'm toasting, if someone else toasts, when they go, you know,

1202
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 2: cheers to something, you know, cheers to us, and then

1203
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: the other person they're cheersing does a different cheers. So

1204
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 2: he said, or she said, cheers to Sister Anthony. You know,

1205
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 2: he had talked to her about getting to use the tree.

1206
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 2: She says, cheers to Sister Anthony, and he goes cheers

1207
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 2: to tree. I was like, can you just that job

1208
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: irritated me. But I hate when people do that. If

1209
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 2: someone does a toast, oh let them have the toast, and.

1210
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: You can't wait to do that too. I can't wait

1211
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: to do That's gonna be my new favorite thing is

1212
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: you and I if we ever cheers together, I'm just

1213
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna do something just totally random. I can't wait.

1214
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: So bothersome their relationship was so weird start to beginning.

1215
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: That's what I'm meaning is at the end of the

1216
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: movie when they're now together. Even then, they've got these weird,

1217
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 2: little dynamic things that I'm like, this relationship isn't The

1218
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: trees can put up in Rockefeller, but this tree, this

1219
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 2: relationship is doomed. We are chopping it down. It's been

1220
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 2: three months after Christmas.

1221
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: It's so strange.

1222
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna go to Valentine's Day and then boom.

1223
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: And we're done, and we're done. Well, he's got so

1224
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: many other dates.

1225
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll move on anyway. That was it.

1226
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Well those are good, and I agree the not

1227
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: knowing the timeline of the relationship. It was a strange relationship.

1228
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: I didn't get tooting for you exactly. I don't care

1229
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: for this at all. Anyway, We now have to rate

1230
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: the movie, and it's one out of ten, of course,

1231
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: one being the worst, ten being the best. Some day

1232
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna switch that up, but for right now we'll

1233
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: keep one being the worst and ten being the best.

1234
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: This week, we've got a number of options. How about

1235
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: one out of ten trees named tree, one out of

1236
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: ten terrible Rockefeller HR departments, one out of ten cures

1237
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: for the plague one out of ten, Plumber Loves one

1238
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: out of ten, Embracing of bark one out of ten,

1239
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: Jerk Grove Christmas trees one at tend, slow running nuns

1240
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: one out of tend, some dudes named Evan or one

1241
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: out of ten tree prayers. I'd like to add one

1242
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: out of ten different cheers. What would you like, Sabrina?

1243
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: You pick this week?

1244
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: Oh man, I think I'm gonna do one out of

1245
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: ten cures for the plague.

1246
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: You got it. I think you went first last time.

1247
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: I can't. Okay, I did, so I will go first

1248
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: this time. I feel like you. This movie had a

1249
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of holes in it. Time wise, it made no sense.

1250
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: The acting was wonderful. Obviously Sally Field directed the movie.

1251
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: I get what they were going for.

1252
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: It did not.

1253
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: It did itself a disservice bike being saying it was

1254
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie, if that makes sense, because you're expecting

1255
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: one thing. You know, if somebody tells you I'm going

1256
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: to give you a donut and then they give you

1257
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: a bagel, even if it's the best bagel you've ever had,

1258
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: you were expecting a donut. Yees, So I was expecting

1259
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: a big Christmas movie, and it just kind of wasn't

1260
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: that being said, I didn't hate it. I found myself

1261
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: openly crying at one scene. So I'm gonna go with

1262
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: six point five cures for the plague for this movie,

1263
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's fair. Frankly, Yes, yeah.

1264
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually kind of high for you when you're

1265
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 2: when you seem to be in the middle you.

1266
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: I like the acting.

1267
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 2: I liked the acting was really good. I liked the flashbacks.

1268
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Those were probably my favorite party and they looked nice.

1269
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: They were all kind of sepi atone they all looked yes.

1270
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 2: It was easy to tell that that's what we were doing.

1271
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: One of my supreacies I just popped in my head

1272
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: the little girl that was the Bully. She did look

1273
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 2: like she belonged in that era at all.

1274
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: She wasn't dressed bull the nineties.

1275
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah she did. She did not fit. So that was

1276
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: actually my first one. It's some of the popped up goings.

1277
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: Why this girl where she?

1278
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: So?

1279
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: I did like the I liked the flashbacks and the storytelling.

1280
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: Although it was kind of funny to think, first of all,

1281
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 2: writing a letter in general is so weird in this

1282
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: point where we are here in twenty twenty four. But uh,

1283
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: even that, I thought that was like a different way

1284
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 2: than her just telling him the story face to face

1285
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 2: to be able to kind of go back and get

1286
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: some more backstory. So all of that made me like

1287
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: it the movie a lot. I just really didn't, I guess,

1288
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 2: find that connection that I was hoping to get. And

1289
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm a big Christmas story lover, and

1290
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: so I think it was the lack of even if

1291
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 2: we went through the Christmas season and they didn't get

1292
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 2: the tree, we didn't see what season it was at all.

1293
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was strange.

1294
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 2: It was not until the very final scenes and I

1295
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 2: was looking for Christmas for the ninety two minutes that

1296
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 2: I watched that movie. Yeah. That being said, I'm going

1297
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 2: to give it six cures for the plague for me

1298
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 2: and hopefully he gets some good antibiotics.

1299
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get him something to help him out.

1300
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 2: Get him hell out.

1301
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: So we're right in the same area there. Thank you
