<v Speaker 1>It's just gorgeous, wonderful. Yeah.

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Well that's what I was so thankful for last year

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>when we got our place up in Big Bears, because

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>we can go to where it feels a lot colder,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's more than down here, and it's just

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a quick two hour drive for us. So I do

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>love that. But yes, I mean I like I would

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 2>just die. You know. We talked about this with our

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 2>other Christmas movie. To have a like perfect Christmas snow

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>world like snow We Wonderland would be the dream for me.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Raised in Connecticut, we used to get, we used to get.

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.520

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Be London at Christmas time is like really because they'll

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>do up all the storefronts with lights, so like Fortenham

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and Mason Is looks like a giant advent calendar with

<v Speaker 1>all the windows and there's just lights everywhere, and it's

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.200

<v Speaker 1>your pjs and your popcorn and go back to a

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>time when all the houses were smart, the Wave, Tsunamis

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and the high School's musical.

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian.

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>It's the season, everybody, or should I say tis the season,

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>which is just it's the season misspelled, uh deck the

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>halls and become best friends with a tree because we're

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>basking in the festive season. By recapping nineteen ninety six

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>as Wonderful World of Disney movie The Christmas Tree, and

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it's there has never been a more apply named film,

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>yes in the hiss, since maybe what we were talking

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>about before we went on there Karate Kid, which was

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>literally just about a karate kid. Well, this is about

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas Tree, so it's called The Christmas Tree. It's

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a buddy drama between a big city gardener and a

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>secluded nun over possession of a giant tree. Or it's

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>a buddy drama about a nun and a tree. You

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>could look at it that way too. It premiered on

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>ABC December twenty second, nineteen ninety six, predictably, just in

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>time for Christmas, and is based on a New York

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Times bestseller of the same name from frequent collaborators, writer

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Julie Salomon and illustrator Jill Weber. Salomon began her career

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>as a respected journalist and transitioned into a prolific author

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in several different genres, from memoir to biography to young adult.

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>It's shot in Pittsburgh, Yes, a new location for us.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Put a pin on the map that will be probably

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>your second or third pin, and the entire map, because

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>that's they always shoot in the same places. You've got

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Utah with seven hundred of them, You've got Los Angeles

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>with seven hundred of them, and now you got one

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>in Pittsburgh with a few shots in New York. Understandably,

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and in the lexicon of Disney Channel produced movies, this

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>tear Jerker is memorable for many reasons. The most glaring

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>is a high, very high profile actress making her directorial debut.

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>But we're going to get to that a little bit later.

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you been to Rock Center during christ I have?

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I have?

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Have you skated?

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I have not either. No. We're there on tour doing

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>our Christmas tour for the Cheetah Girls, and I got

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>to go see the tree, but we didn't have time

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to kind of, you know, do the whole ice skating thing.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>It would be such a dream though, right, I mean,

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>it's so amazing.

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I haven't either. I grew up going to New York

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time. I see the tree one hundred times.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Fao Schwartz around Christmas, the original fair Sworts. They moved it.

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>It's now like a much smaller place. But the old

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>school Fao Schwartz that was three or four stories tall,

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>where they shot big and they just Christmas. It was magic.

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>It was the most amazing places.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 2>And you didn't ice skate?

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>No, never, I don't know. I mean I can skate,

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I can't stop. We talked about this. I can do

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things on boards, but I can't stop

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>on any of them. So skating Yeah, that's a tough

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 1>stop right there.

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>You're in California. They do that a couple of places.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 2>They've got these rinks.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, near us there's one.

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>The last one I went to was so tiny. All

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I could see was these little kids blades coming up

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>in the air and just like cutting my jugular likes

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 2>it was. There was no it was not safe. It

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>was not because there was no you know, no one

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 2>really yeah knows how to skate that goes out on

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 2>those and with it being that much smaller, it's less roof.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Right the season to ex sanguinate.

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 2>As they said, I nervous. Jordan was so embarrassed as

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:11.039
<v Speaker 2>me because I just was, Oh, my god, get away,

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>get away, like I'm showing little kids to go. I

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>still don't believe Jordan exists, by the way, I know,

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I know for sure soon now.

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You got to meet my wife. My wife, she was

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>so funny because she was like I really like her.

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yes, I know, she's very sweet. So you

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>met my wife. You know my wife's real.

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I do. For one day, you won't figure out whether

<v Speaker 2>or not Jordan's I'm.

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Sure I will. A little history on the Rockefeller Tree.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>By the way, It is a very large Christmas tree

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>placed annually at Rockefella Center in Midtown Manhattan, and is

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the states, if not the country's, most recognizable landmarks.

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Set next to NBC's notorious thirty Rock Studios, Its lighting

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>ceremony is broadcast live on the network annually and it's

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>transported in mid November and brightened. I think that's where

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>they lighted up. I guess it's like it's technically called

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>being brightened on Wednesday after Thanksgiving and estimated one hundred

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five million people visit the attraction per year

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and an uncountable amount seat on TV or in the movies.

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>The tree is usually a Norway spruce somewhere in the

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine to one hundred foot tall range and is

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>donated to stand there in New York and then becomes

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>lumber after the new year. David Murbach, manager of the

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Garden's division of Rockefeller Center, scouted for the tree in

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>upstate New York and nearby states, even venturing into Canada

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>right up until his death in two thousand and nine.

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And now the head gardener, Eric Pause, thank you very much,

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>is in charge. I was hoping you get that if

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you can believe it. Trees can now also be submitted

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>for consideration through the center's website. There is also a

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>new television reality game show where trees dress up as

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>different characters and sing and they are kicked off one

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>at a time until they pick the new tree. I'm kidding,

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, that is that is not at all what happens,

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>because trees cancing, and for many years it was considered

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the largest public display tree. But then LA had to

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>go and ruin everything in their typical fashion with their

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred to hundred and ten foot tree at the Grove

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Shopping Center. What a jerk tree.

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but I I didn't think that that was a

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>real tree anymore. I thought by this time, with it

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>being so big, I didn't know they actually still get

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>real trees for Rockefella.

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I honestly didn't know that the Groves ever was a

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 2>big tree.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>And plastic surgery.

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's not a lot of forests around us, and

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, so, I mean, obviously yes they can, they'll

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 2>they bring it in, but you just don't think of

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>LA thinking there'd be I feel like in New York,

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>you know that the outskirts of New York there's a lot.

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Of Yeah, you've got that kind of outdoorsy Christmas y tree.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Kind of yes, yeah, there's not a lot here in

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 2>La So I never thought that one was real. But

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I was really excited to find out that this was

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>a real tree.

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Still that all real, isn't that?

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Ne Oh? Wow, it's giant.

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow wow wow it is. It's huge. Do you already

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>know what you're asking for for Christmas? We'll do that later. Okay.

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>We asked this every week. Had you heard of the

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Tree movie?

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Never? No, never, ever ever?

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that's interesting is, I think my date

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>with the President's daughter was nineteen ninety seven, Wonderful World

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>of Disney. This is nineteen ninety six. I figured I

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>would have known kind of the movies around that era, Rightever,

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>never heard of this before?

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah.

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>So before we light this baby up, though, let's get

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>into the synopsis. An unexpected friendship blossoms between an elderly

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>nun who's been growing a tree for decades and the

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Rockefeller gardener who wants to move it to their world

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>renowned Christmas display. Early thoughts, what did you think of

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>this movie?

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Sabrina? You know what I was stuck on at the beginning.

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, if this isn't a sign of pre covid,

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what is him with his snotty rag

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 2>that he's so like five minutes like what is this guy? Ill?

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean? And just the idea that he's around all

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 2>these older women. It's so pre covid because all I

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>can think of is you're going to get those ladies sick.

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I thought the same thing.

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.199
<v Speaker 2>You never would have thought of.

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Yep. It's like you're around elderly people, you're getting.

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 2>The mask on, Like, don't even go around them. They

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 2>should not have you in there. Yeah, they're convent.

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Did you like it though?

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>I would? You know? At first? It's a Christmas movie,

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and I always have good hopes. I do sit and

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>watch tons of Hallmark and Lifetime. I love all of

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>their Christmas stuff. I think next year, when it comes

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to reviewing Christmas movies, we might want to us hop

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>over there.

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>And maybe maybe quickly jump to a Hallmark or Lifetime movie.

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Away from Disney for just a little bit, because I

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 2>think this is just another pin on the board to

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 2>say that Disney's not necessarily the one. Well, we haven't

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>found it yet. I mean we there's big movie the

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 2>motion pictures, but the ones that are catered for the

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>television just don't seem to hit the greatest mark. I

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>went in and out of it, but at the very

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>beginning it was just kind of like, what are we what?

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.079
<v Speaker 2>So this is just about getting a tree, right, okay?

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>And then once we got our main character telling her story,

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I did start caring and diving in a little bit more.

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But at the beginning, I'm going I mean again, I

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 2>was really caught up with his cold.

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't get over the cold.

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 2>But it seemed like they kind of brushed over quite

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a bit, like I didn't understand what was going on

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>with the assistant at first, say like what you know? Wait, yeah,

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and there's all these talks about other women. So it

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 2>was kind of just blotchy for a good minute for me,

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 2>until finally when we start hearing the backstory of this

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 2>specific nun.

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I kind I actually kind of agree with that.

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I went in, you know it, we'll get into the cast,

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>but Andrew McCarthy because it's like, Okay, this is gonna

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 1>be good. And then it felt like a real movie,

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>if that makes sense. It didn't feel like a Disney

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Channel early nineties movie. Because it's a mid nineties, earlier midnights,

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 1>it felt like a real movie. And I was like, okay, great,

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and then I was kind of like, what the hell

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 1>is this? And then I was openly weeping At one

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>point by myself. Sue was gone, she was out for

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the night, and I was like looking at my dog, like,

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 1>what is going on?

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe it.

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get to that emotional place down I did,

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'm stucker for emotion.

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.719
<v Speaker 1>As we teased before, this movie is directed by a

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>superstar and it was her first time behind the camera.

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Ready for this, Sally Field directed The Christmas Tree Yes.

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Field's career has spanned six decades, first breaking out in

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the hit nineteen sixties show Gidget as the titular surfer girl,

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>which again really fun show. She'd go on to appear

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in some of the biggest movies, including Norman Ray, Forrest Gump,

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>she was Forest's Mom, Steel Magno, and Missus Doubtfire. She's

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>won two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, and three Primetime

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Emmy Awards. It would be an easy argument to say

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>she is one of her generation's most successful actresses. She's

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>just amazing, and though Christmas Tree was her directorial debut,

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>she'd only go on to direct one episode of Tom

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Hanks's produced miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, my

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>favorite miniseries of all time. Go watch it. It's amazing,

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>and the two thousand movie Beautiful, starring Mini Driver and

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Hallie Eisenberg. Did you know she directed this?

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>No, not until I kind of got you know, I

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.959
<v Speaker 2>skim for just kind of a quick what we're looking

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>at before and that I saw that, and I'm bummed.

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get it, Like, where was.

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Her little just cameo something? Yeah, well she played the tree.

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>She was the tree.

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she was the tree.

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>Got it? Got it?

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I would have thought we would have gotten a tiny

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>little cameo. I guess she probably was like really wanting

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>to yeah, focused on She wasn't here to action. Is

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>there to direct?

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 1>What are the chances of getting her to come on

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>magical rewind to talk about God?

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I think we've got a really big chance.

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I think so too. I think we're gonna shoot for

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the stars. We're gonna get there, We're gonna get there.

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>This movie stars Julie Harris, as sister. Anthony Harris was

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a five time Tony winning stage actress who also scored

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>three Emmys and a Grammy. So she lives in the

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>rare era that Fields does. And Harris was very close

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to an Egot, which everybody knows is an Emmy, Golden Globe,

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and Oscar and Tony. She was what I said, dang,

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>oh Grammy, I said Golden Globe, that was wrong, and Emmy,

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She was nominated

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>for an Oscar in nineteen fifty two for the movie

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>The Member of the Wedding, but unfortunately lost. Other notable

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>movies she's in includes East of Eden and The Haunting.

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Harris died in twenty thirteen at the age of eighty seven.

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And Andrew McCarthy is Richard Riley. McCarthy was a member

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.719
<v Speaker 1>of the Infamous Brat Pack, a group of popular young

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>actors in the eighties who were taking over Hollywood, starring

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and projects together. The group also included names like Amelio Estevez,

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, rob Loo, and Demi Moore. McCarthy

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>was seen movies like Saint Elmo's Fire, which was not

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>a good movie. Less than Zero, which was a great movie.

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Pretty in Pink, which you remember being a good movie

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>but actually wasn't. And Mannequin is the same thing. And

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of course Weekend at Bernie's, which is well, weekend at Bernie's, Serena,

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>have you seen any of these?

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I've seen Pretty in Pink and I've seen Weekend at Bernie's.

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>You never saw a mannequin?

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think so.

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>You know what Mannikin's about.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 2>No, I feel like I'm thinking of a wrong movie

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 2>where a manniquin comes alive.

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, that's the one. Kim Cattrall plays a mannequin.

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>She was an ancient Egyptian. Yeah, and she becomes a

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>mannequin and he like unlocks her at night and is

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>having sex with a mannequin. Yeah, no, I have not

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>seen it. I think I've seen a different strange she

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>picks them straight.

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Hyra Banks is in My Man.

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, the no, no, no, this is from like

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty four. Okay, that was probably that was a remake.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing of this one with Angela.

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 2>No, no, she doesn't have sex with anyone.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>She's like, oh yeah, no, oh yeah, no, not this one.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 1>He's he's like he puts her. He designs storefronts, and

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>he puts her in all the storefronts of a mannequin.

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>And she comes live at night and they date, but

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>if anybody sees them together, it just looks like it.

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So he's like riding his motorcycle in the streets of

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>New York with a mannequin on the back, but then

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>she's hugging him, then to mannequin on the back, and

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>then he goes down.

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, that's funny.

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>You gotta go check it out. It's a weird movie.

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy has since went on to direct TV shows like

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Gossip Girl, White Collar, Orange Is the New Black, and

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>also this year's documentary about his notorious eighties friends group

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>called Brats, which did very very well. Triny Alvarado is Beth.

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Triny is best known as Meg in the nineteen ninety

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 1>four version of Little Women, and from her role in

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.479
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety six is Peter jackson horror comedy The Frighteners

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>opposite my idol Michael J.

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Fox.

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Betty Amberlin plays sister Sarah and maybe her last name

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>might ring a bell with some of our people out there.

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>She played Lady Amberln from the Land of Make Believe

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>for the entire thirty three year run of Mister Rogers

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Neighborhood Awesome, and then later in her career she'd form

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>an unlikely friendship with the director and writer Kevin Smith,

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>and she went on to appear in a lot of

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>his movies like Dogma, Zach and Mury Make a Porno

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>which is very different than the Christmas Tree, and the

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>just released four to thirty movie and all of you

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>IMDb heads out there, which that might not be a

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>thing dB heads, We'll figure it out. Someone named Colin

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Quinn is credited in the movie as Tom and is

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>incorrectly linked to the stand up comedy legend of the

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>same name, but it's actually Colin with two l's so wrong, guy,

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 1>get your stuff together, IMDb. This movie is ninety two minutes.

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>It is hovering over the target, but unfortunately landed two

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>minutes beyond, which means it's too long, you go. Like

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I had mentioned, Julia Salomon and Joe Webber wrote the

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>original book, so they get story credit, while Sally Field

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and a writer named Janet Bronwell shared teleplay credit. Brownwell

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>wrote the salacious TV movie The Amy Fisher Story, again

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>not quite the Christmas Tree, and some other TV movies

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>like Once Upon a Mattress, Eloise at the Plaza and

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Twelve Days at Christmas. She really runs the gamut. So

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.120
<v Speaker 1>what are we waiting for? Let's chop down this Christmas tree?

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh no ouch. We open with some classical music

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and credits over close up shots of Christmas trees, only

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 1>to be interrupted by a chainsaw Rockefeller Centers. Richard Riley

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>is getting a tour of a forest area and different

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>options from Sven, who is a ground keeper lumber jack.

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 1>What are people an arborist? I guess is what he

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>would be technically. Richard is not impressed at all with

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>what he sees, and he knows his stuff. He also appears,

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>as Sabrina has mentioned several times, to have a serious

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>case of COVID, but is still out in the world

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and around elderly people. All the time, he is sneezing

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>and coughing and covering his nose with a handkerchief. He

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>tells then that the tree he picks needs to survive

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 1>until the end of the year, and it's only March.

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>A disease tree just won't do. He wants Ven's best

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 1>tree for the world famous Rockefeller Center. But Fenn fnn.

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 1>But Sven takes him to his quote very best, and

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 1>it's even more pitiful than all the rest of them.

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.959
<v Speaker 2>It was and it didn't even look like a Christmas

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 2>tree at all. It didn't look like one.

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>It was Sven needs to be run out of the business.

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>This is a side hustle for Sven. He's like, let.

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Me take you to my better Christmas tree. Here's a

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 2>maple tree. Like it didn't even look like a ninth tree.

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>It was like, that's an apple tree. You're not even close. Yeah,

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>very very strange. Then Richard gets a call from his

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.920
<v Speaker 1>assistant Beth, and he tells her to call that farm

0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 1>in Vermont and get their tree after all, leaving Sven

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in the dust. But unfortunately Vermont called this morning and

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that tree already went to the White House. Also, he

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>had a date later that got canceled, which he seems

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to pretend doesn't bother him at all, but we can

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 1>tell it does. He hangs up with Beth, which also

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>got kind of flirty in case you work in HR

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>for the Rockefellers, but sneezing, coughing, and probably horribly contagious,

0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.119
<v Speaker 1>Richard takes a helicopter so small, little tight area and

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>scans the woods. When he sees something, it is a

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.360
<v Speaker 1>huge tree all by itself near a large manner. It's

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>just perfect, almost a mirage. He's told it belongs to

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Brush Creek, which is a nun convent. He knows what

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 1>he has to do and makes his way to the nunnery.

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>He's immediately welcomed by a crabby nun who rejects help

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 1>up the last two steps. I'm old, I'm not dead.

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Richard also meets Sister Sarah, a younger nun who appears

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to be working with cheese. Apparently this nunnery is known

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>for their cows and their cheeses, which I think this

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.479
<v Speaker 1>is like actually a thing. I know, there's a lot

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 1>of beer, and.

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Just stayed at a convent, right right, yeah, and we

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 2>stayed at the family member has another side of the

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>family that has a nun aunt in there, and theirs

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 2>is this awesome like caramel chocolates and that's like their

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 2>thing as well as beer. They also do beer, which

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what, yeah, I would never yeah, ever know,

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, it's really cool that each hap they all

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 2>have their kind of special thing that they make a

0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of and they sell and I'm not sure where

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 2>the proceeds like what they did, but it probably just

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for supply.

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>And how where the caramels just like the most amazing

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>candies you've ever had in it? Right, Yeah, so good.

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 1>They've been perfecting them for like three hundred years. Kind

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 1>of Oh my gosh, I'm gonna need that number of

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that nunnery, if that's okay with you, which is which

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>is strange. He eventually meets mother Superior Francis, who's the

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>top dog, that informs him they have a working Gary farm.

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's when I realized, I don't really know what

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 1>nuns do when they aren't in church, so I guess

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it is stuff like this where.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>They have a whole day. I mean, we would even

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to see his aunt. She'd come over to meet a

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of us, and because she's lived there and it's

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 2>out in New York or Boston area, and even to

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 2>get her to come, her schedule was so jam passed.

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 2>It was great an hour here, maybe forty five minutes.

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 2>So we kind of adjusted our schedule around when she

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 2>was available at amazing, got lots to do, way more

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 2>stuffy to do than me they take care of the

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 2>grounds themselves. They do everything pretty much.

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Idle hands of the devil's work, that's what they say.

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Well they do. Mother Superior here, we learn, is also

0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>very very hard of hearing, and that is going to

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>come back in the future. Richard informs her that he's

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>interested in the tree, and he's sent to Sister Anthony,

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the final boss on matters just like this, and someone

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 1>who apparently just stands by the tree all day long

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>like some kind of a bridge troll. I'm surprised he

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to answer the questions three before getting there. Also,

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Richard can't stop sneezing. He might be dying by this point.

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he has the plague. We're not sure. But after

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a long walk, Richard eventually makes it to the tree

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and it is absolutely stunning. It's exactly what he's looking

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 1>for and more. He kicks the trunk to check for disease,

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and Sister Anthony, who's been landscaping, appears. He gives his

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.480
<v Speaker 1>desperate pitch for the tree and the importance of Rockefeller Center,

0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>but she is absolutely not sold. She questions his experience

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>with raising trees. While she rejects him, he gets another

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>call from a woman totally ghosting them because she's getting married.

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>This dude can't find a tree or a woman to

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>save his life.

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 2>I thought those were such weird little.

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Calls that they're just very strange, kind of like, Okay,

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I get what you're doing, but a weird way to

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 1>set it up. Yeah, yeah, it would have been so

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.679
<v Speaker 1>if we shot this movie nowadays, as he's talking to her,

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>he would have been getting texts Yes, yes, like no

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to see you or can I come

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>get my stuff or something like that. Yes, yeah, but

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>it's strange when he's on the phone the whole time.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>He's affected by this call though, But you know what's

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.919
<v Speaker 1>not affecting him his cold because the tree has oxygen

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>healing powers, and Sister Anthony is obviously very connected to Tree,

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.640
<v Speaker 1>which is the creative name she's given him. She's been

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>with Tree since she was a six year old orphan.

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>This is where we see some flashbacks of her life,

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a format used for the entire movie going forward, and

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>she's painting clock faces with other kids and eventually going silent.

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>We learned she doesn't talk a lot. We're not entirely

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 1>sure why she was stuck at the orphanage. At this point,

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 1>it was a difficult time in her life, but she

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>was protected from bullies by an older boy, Tom, who

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>would give her leaves and acorns in a satchel every night,

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:13.640
<v Speaker 1>telling her they were magical. And I was like, Oh,

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we're setting up Tom. Tom's going to be super important.

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Can't wait to meet Tom as an adult. We don't

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:20.360
<v Speaker 1>ever see Tom again.

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 2>We don't.

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>We don't ever see Tom again. He's gone, He's gone forever.

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Then one day some people took her from the home,

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 1>separating her from her best friend forever again, assuming Tom

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>was going to come back, but she still has the

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.400
<v Speaker 1>satchel he gave her, and the tree at her new

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.879
<v Speaker 1>home quickly became her new best friend. In modern times,

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>We're back, Sister Anthony introduces Richard to tree and asks

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>him to really touch him. Richard embraces the bark and

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 1>is immediately at ease. And this raised a question while

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 1>watching that I didn't see coming. I asked myself, is

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>this man going to start a physical relationship with this tree?

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 1>He did it with a mannequin, why not a tree?

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 2>The longest and brave of this tree. It was like,

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, I've hugged a tree as trying to

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 2>climb using the trunk, like never a comfortable feeling, always

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 2>scratching up your your neck, your arms, your shoulders, your face,

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 2>like there's nothing comfortable.

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, seriously, so weird.

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 2>It was so weird. And I get it. This tree

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.880
<v Speaker 2>is very important. I understand that's what we're trying.

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.119
<v Speaker 1>To Like, yes, and he's supposed to have gotten a

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 1>spiritual kind of feeling from it.

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 2>But it was pretty.

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Longer than Molly Ducky in Pretty and Pink. I'm telling you, Yeah,

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:42.879
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot. Okay, So, Sister Anthony says, some

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>people say they feel God in the tree, which is

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously what the tree is supposed to represent. It's a

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.360
<v Speaker 1>source of love, which Richard admits he doesn't get much.

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He quickly opens up about his own life, saying he

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 1>needs more comfort from humans. He loves his job, friends,

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 1>and apartment, but Sister Anthony concludes he doesn't have a

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>place where he's truly himself or somewhere where he really

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:05.439
<v Speaker 1>belongs like tree is for her. With this devastating assumption,

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 1>she walks off, leaving Richard to sulk in his pitiful loneliness.

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>His cold also comes back. Richard runs after the nun,

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>but probably slowly because of the upper respiratory infection. He

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>still wants tree, but Sister Anthony says, over my dead body.

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>He finds out she teaches art and botany after she

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 1>joked that she teaches sex ed, which is a weird

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of joke, but it was fun. Richard again is

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>back to sneezing when Sister Anthony asks him to redo

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the grounds with her and some of her students. With

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.120
<v Speaker 1>his past and agriculture landscaping, he'd be a really big help,

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.360
<v Speaker 1>but he's still focused on getting the tree for Christmas,

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's his most important thing. We get another flashback

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>here from her childhood after she was picked up from

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the orphanage and arrives at the monastery. The nuns help

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 1>her talk again, with Sister Francis leading the way. She

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 1>knows these women of God are looking to help her.

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Still very overwhelming, and she attempts to run away, only

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to get lost and scared, eventually falling on her face

0:25:55.359 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and landing right in front of tree. She cuddled the

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 1>warm and sweet tree and felt immediately safe, And they

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 1>did this thing. Where As she lays down, you can

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 1>see the tree moving and like embracing her, like they

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:11.440
<v Speaker 1>gave the tree sentient powers a little bit. Yeah, I

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:13.639
<v Speaker 1>mean they really did. It was trying to, you know,

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>embrace her. So she cuddled up and the warm and

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 1>sweet tree and felt immediately safe. She fell asleep there,

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 1>eventually found by Sister Francis, prompting her to speak for

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the first time in a while. She says she wants

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 1>to stay with tree, and so Francis lets her hang

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 1>out there for the whole day. Other nuns came by

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 1>to say hello and meat tree celebrating. Sister Anthony then

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>called Anna's new found voice and everything here is very touching.

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>They eventually pack up for the night, and this experience

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>helped her realize she belonged here with the nuns and

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 1>her tree. This also had me thinking, do nuns just

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>adopt kids? Like to hit A bunch of nuns just

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>get together and say I want that one.

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't think that's really a thing. I don't

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.880
<v Speaker 2>think it is a thing nowadays. I don't know. I mean,

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I've always thought in my head, nuns there was a

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 2>lot a lot of times where nuns did take care

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 2>of like orphanages, Like when you see in movies. You know,

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Elf is a movie where he starts in like, there's

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 2>like nuns that are taking care of Yeah, these orphan babies.

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 2>So I've kind of thought of that, but there were

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 2>no other kids. This definitely was not a orphanage.

0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:19.880
<v Speaker 1>It was they just adopted this kid.

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>They just like adopted her. Yeah, so, but you do

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of have that common think idea of that nuns

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 2>do take care of other babies that don't have family.

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I can see them running that first orphanage, but I

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't see eight nuns just to die. It was like

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a sitcom. Yeah, they made of us adopted a kid.

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:39.239
<v Speaker 1>It was really weird. She also reveals she's always had

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a recurring nightmare. She sees a beautiful, glowing shooting star

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and she tries to touch it, but as she gets close,

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a scary beast tries to bite her. Sister Francis's main

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 1>message about Tree is that people aren't supposed to be

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 1>alone in this world. Everyone must find their metaphorical tree

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and accept it. And all this speaks right to our

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Lona Richard. We see him arrive at home to no

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:01.480
<v Speaker 1>One and one message from missus Beth and another from

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's another girl telling her she's back together with

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>her ex. I mean, this guy must just be a

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 1>horrible date all the way around. He stares off sad

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>as hell and starts drinking. That's just Tuesday. Now it's July.

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 1>In the office and Richard has finally found a tree.

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:18.880
<v Speaker 1>He embraces Beth and they hold each other for too long,

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like he did with the tree, originally creating an awkward moment.

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:24.399
<v Speaker 1>We learn that Richard has been getting numerous letters and

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 1>different crafts from Sister Anthony. He seems a little annoyed

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>by it, but she still wants him to come help

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:32.640
<v Speaker 1>her gardening class. He calls the monastery, but Mother Superior

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>is so hard of hearing. She thought he said he

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was coming to help, so now he's stuck. Also, Beth

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 1>asks him over for dinner, and he'll try, but he's

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 1>going to swing by the monastery. First sounds like a

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>weird excuse. We are now in Sister Anthony's greenhouse. Richard

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 1>lets her know he found a different tree for Rockefeller

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Center and he doesn't have time to help her with

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>any landscaping. He also admits that his dad was a lawyer,

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>so the idea of ever turning his gardening interest into

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a profession was never possible for him. She wonders if

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>he truly is doing what he loves. Richard wants to

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>get back to the city for dinner with Beth, but

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Sister Anthony, who explains she has degrees from Emerson and Yale,

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>quotes Richard Frost. We get another flashback but her education

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>at Brush Creek. She learned French piano and math from

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the nuns, but her real education was from being with

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and playing around Tree. This is where she learned to

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 1>read and look for that big star from her nightmares,

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>which she of course never found. She also gets common

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>flashbacks of holding a man's hand. Her mentor, Sister Mary,

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>eventually had to leave to go help in the war,

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 1>leaving Annah very angry and sad. This might be where

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I started crying. She doesn't even say goodbye, but Sister

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Mary knows her heart is saying it for her and

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 1>asks Tree to take care of her. Three months after

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>she left, Sister Mary was killed in a bombing attack

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and received the Medal of Bravery. Sister Anthony and Richard

0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>end up crying from the story, so did I, but

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 1>are interrupted when the group of students come running for

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>their lesson. Richard decides to join after all, which leads

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 1>us to Beth, his very sad assistant, now alone and

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>listening to Fourth of July music on the radio. Eventually,

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Richard does arrive, covered in dirt and sweat. He made

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it just in time for the fireworks, and they almost kiss.

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Then we cut to the next time we see him.

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>They are a full blown couple at a cafe. It

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>appears she still works room as well, and that must

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>be offered for everybody else in the office, especially because

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>she's still getting calls about other women he's dated. Okay, Sabrina,

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 1>let's work out some dates here the tour case. Because

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get it.

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Sabanci, like, what is this? Nothing's explained. I'm irritated.

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand it. I miss something. I am not

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 2>going back and watching it.

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not rewinding.

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I will not rewind. I will just ask questions.

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So the movie starts in March. Yes, okay, a number

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>of months have passed, so how long have they been

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>dating by this point.

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. A few even if there was

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 2>think about it as you do, I do kind of

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 2>obviously we're watching these, we're streaming these, so there are points.

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 2>So there was obviously a commercial break there, but even

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 2>if I came back from a commercial break, and then

0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>they're now in this full blown relationship and they don't

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>even give you like the subtitle thing at the bottom

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:16.880
<v Speaker 2>going three months.

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Later or the old thing of the last autumn tree,

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like the leaf falling from the tree. So yeah, that's

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 1>like that, like something like that, yes, something, it's.

0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Just like, oh my wait. And then because as we'll

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 2>get into it, like they're talking about, they just move

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 2>on very quickly from here and he freaks out. But

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't know if I should not like

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 2>him right now because he's is he freaking out too much?

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm freaking out because you guys didn't even kiss thirty

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>seconds ago because you had.

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>And now yeah, so that's okay.

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, we don't get to see your

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 2>first kiss. What the hell is going on here? It

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 2>was very strange's first kiss, Like you can't just cut

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 2>that out. That's garbage, garbage.

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they ever even shot it. But you're right,

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 1>no first kiss.

0:31:57.480 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>No first kiss, crazy, So we don't know how long.

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 1>They been together, but Beth lets him know that his

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>landlord called he'll be raising the rent at the end

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of his lease and was giving him notice. Richard says

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.280
<v Speaker 1>he'll have to move because he can't afford it, but

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Beth's just they move in together. So again, this was the.

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Best girlfriend trying to move in move I have seen,

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 2>because she's the one that got the message right and

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 2>she just throws it out like, Hey, your landlord called.

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 2>You know they're gonna raise about that. She's like He's like, oh, well,

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm gonna have to move and she's like, well,

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 2>actually I've already thought about that.

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 2>He was so slick on it. I was like, yes, okay,

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 2>now she's a little gangster and now I'm back in

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 2>with Beth like her.

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 1>But this is where not showing us how long the

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.960
<v Speaker 1>relationship changes the movie, because if they've been together for

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>two years, he's an If they've been together for two weeks,

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 1>she's crazy crazy. So which which one are we supposed

0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to know?

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you. I was like, I don't know if

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I should like think he's he's like a jerk or

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 2>she's insane. I don't know, because how long they've been dating.

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's one of the two.

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.160
<v Speaker 2>They have been friends for a very long time. Looks

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 2>like she obviously worked with him for a long time.

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 2>But you can tell like he was not into it.

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Now he is, Okay, slow your role, let him take

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 2>his time. Yeah, you're even if it was six months,

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a lot to move in together.

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot. Now. Granted they're supposed to be what

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 1>probably late thirties, so it's not like their young twenties

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of things like you do hit an age where

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you kind of you know, I know, you pooper, get

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>off the pot, as they would say. Yeah, But at

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the same time, I'd like to know how long they

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>were dating. So I know it's just so he was

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>gangster and I'm back on me. But Richard, of course,

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 1>being a man, laughs are off and asks if they're

0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>ready for side by side toothbrushes. By the way, I

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>don't care what anybody says. The key to a healthy marriage,

0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>separate bathroom, She says, she is, but he doesn't want

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>financial reasons to force him into cohabitation. That's perfectly reasonable,

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and he is saved by the bell when the phone rings.

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 1>It's yet another girl, who he says is someone that

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>he works with. But Beth seems rattled. He has too

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.880
<v Speaker 1>many things going on and it's hurting her feelings. She

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 1>leaves an ultimatum, which all men love. He needs to

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out what he wants and get back to her.

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>We are now back at the monastery. Sister Mary is

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:29.240
<v Speaker 1>talking a tree and is shocked when she sees Richard

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>sitting at his trunk. He's very depressed about Beth and

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>came for some advice. Mary tries to consul him about love,

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:37.959
<v Speaker 1>and Richard sarcastically asked, how would you know. He apologizes

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and she explains that when she you know, I love

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>this because they always say this, like I wasn't born

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a nun. And when she was eighteen, before she was

0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>officially a nun, she met a plumber named Roy. He

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.320
<v Speaker 1>was so nice and cute and all the two of

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:50.760
<v Speaker 1>them together could have been so happy.

0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 2>And I love that actress that played the young Anna.

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 2>She was great, adore. Yeah, the two of them together

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 2>were a stag on TV camera, like a great TV couple.

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 1>She met a plumber named Roy working on the property

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:08.959
<v Speaker 1>who was so taken by her. He stumbled while trying

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to talk to her, which was just so cute. They

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>had a romance, keeping each other company and while they

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 1>did their respective work. She even introduced him to Tree.

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 1>When the plumbing job was finished, Roy and his dad

0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 1>were going to move to Florida, but after having just

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:25.279
<v Speaker 1>one dance and a kiss under Tree, he says he

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 1>will always love her and asks her to move with him.

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:30.960
<v Speaker 1>She says, even though she loves him, she can't, but

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>just as the car leaves, she grabs her satchel and

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.359
<v Speaker 1>runs to meet him. But she can't catch up. And now,

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 1>because she's a slow runner, she never gets a chance to.

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 2>See run and Roy clearly can't hear. I just felt

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 2>like there was no no communication, no reason why he

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 2>couldn't have seen her in the rear view mirror.

0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I also don't know she was running to join him.

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I think she just was running after the car, kind

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:54.640
<v Speaker 1>of like Tom at the beginning. It was mirroring Tom

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 1>saying goodbye to her. Oh yeah, you know, like I

0:35:57.680 --> 0:35:59.200
<v Speaker 1>think it was, yeah.

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Just for like an the moment to say goodbye. Maybe

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry that I'm such a whimp and can't leave

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 2>these grounds.

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>This is how yeah, exactly terrible. My head is. I

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.800
<v Speaker 1>thought they were going to reintroduce Tom, who she was

0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>going to fall in love with Tom, and then Tom

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:17.239
<v Speaker 1>was going to be sent off to the war and killed.

0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 2>That's WoT I thought Roy was about to get in

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 2>a car accident.

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Can we both go so dark with these things? I

0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:26.680
<v Speaker 1>thought a media was gonna wipe out the entire nunnery

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 1>just right there. That's what I thought was about to happen. Man,

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 1>we go dark with these things, Sabrida.

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I was like, because the clear, like continual

0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:37.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that has happened to this poor woman is like

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 2>people being stripped away from her. So I thought, for

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 2>sure thought Roy was goner. Like that's why she was

0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:47.239
<v Speaker 2>running because I didn't know because she said she didn't

0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 2>want to go, but that she's running it only to

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 2>see him.

0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Corner and a big break, says, I love you. Somebody

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:56.239
<v Speaker 1>is hit by a bus.

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:57.240
<v Speaker 2>That is terrible.

0:36:57.960 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 1>We were once again back in modern day. She had

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 1>she was scared, she didn't want to leave when she knew.

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Richard is shocked to hear she's never left the monastery.

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:08.040
<v Speaker 1>She warns him, don't listen to your fears, but Richard

0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 1>says she doesn't practice what she preaches and kisses her

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.959
<v Speaker 1>on the cheek, and it's a very nice relationship between

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:14.879
<v Speaker 1>the two of them. Yes, next thing you know, we're

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:17.760
<v Speaker 1>in a massive snowstorm and the windows smash out the monastery,

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 1>so Sister Lucia is sick and the phones and the

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 1>lights have all gone out. Sister Anthony decides to write

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Richard a letter, which to me, in my head, I

0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, we're having an emergency. I

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 1>better write him a letter. So he gets it a

0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:31.319
<v Speaker 1>week and a half from now. But that's not how

0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it turned out. That's what I mean. None of that mattered.

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 1>She'll get to him the next time he comes.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like, it's like, this is your goodbye letter. The

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:40.920
<v Speaker 2>storm over to you.

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Exactly why the storm. The storm has left us here. Stop.

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>We can not have with the tree. Stop. She continues

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 1>her origin story at this point, saying that after Roy left,

0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 1>she lost her satchel. She panicked and searchs the house

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 1>for hours. She ran to tree and begged for help.

0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.319
<v Speaker 1>She's reprimanded by a younger Sister Lucia to go back

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to the house and pray. Shea says the bag is

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:03.959
<v Speaker 1>not her comfort, but God is he's in her heart

0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's what she must find. So they light candles

0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and they pray to Saint Anthony, the Saint of lost souls,

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:11.640
<v Speaker 1>for the return of her bag. During the session, she

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 1>feels at peace, like how she felt with Tree, and

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>her nightmares aren't so scary anymore. The bright Star suddenly

0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 1>feels okay, and the next day Sister Lucia found the

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:22.400
<v Speaker 1>satchel in the woods and Anna professes her love to

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the heart. None. That was another very sweet moment. It

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:27.320
<v Speaker 1>was that day she decided to become a nun herself

0:38:27.520 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 1>and live a life like Sister Lucia, who she is

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:32.760
<v Speaker 1>now taking care of. Back at work, Thank god, Richard

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:35.879
<v Speaker 1>has found a new assistant. Yikes for jes she doesn't

0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 1>seem very good at her job. Richard now is Sister

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Anthony's letter and is continuing to read it to Beth.

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Beth is now working for someone else at the office

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and is still waiting for Richard to sack up and

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 1>move in with her. Sister Anthony tells him that the

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>tree was totally fine after the snowstorm, which is a relief,

0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:53.720
<v Speaker 1>but she wants to see him again soon. He obliges

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:55.279
<v Speaker 1>and drives out to the monastery. By the way, he

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>must be just racking up the miles on his car

0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:58.400
<v Speaker 1>if he lives in New York City. I mean, this

0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of traveling. But he finds out that

0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.319
<v Speaker 1>tree is entering the final stage of his life. Sister

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Anthony knows that trees only live about seventy and he

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.320
<v Speaker 1>is definitely older than that. She asked him if he

0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 1>has yet found a tree for this year, and he says,

0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:13.880
<v Speaker 1>it's only February, which made me go.

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:19.839
<v Speaker 2>What, we skipped an entire Christmas? I mean again, I'm

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:22.439
<v Speaker 2>going I have no idea what the time?

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:23.279
<v Speaker 1>You know? I don't either.

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Is it over a three year period?

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Is it? I mean, they don't let us know.

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:32.800
<v Speaker 2>They don't know, had some type of Christmas scene of

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 2>some sort, something like the time has gone and past

0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 2>that he did not get the year, this tree at

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 2>all for the year.

0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was weird.

0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Again, it stopped me in my like, wait, I agree,

0:39:43.800 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 2>And again, I am not rewinding.

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going backwards. We're not going backwards. That's it

0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:51.360
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have mattered. No, even if you were around it,

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:53.400
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't have mattered. They did not let you know

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the timeline of what is happening at all in this

0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 1>movie was very which is strange for a flashback movie

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 1>because tiny in a flashback movie is imperative to the

0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:04.360
<v Speaker 1>story exactly.

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You have to keep your audience knowing where they are

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 2>are once they come back from the flashback.

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:13.359
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent agree with what is happening. So yeah,

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:15.839
<v Speaker 1>it would we should have just yes, I agree, get

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:22.120
<v Speaker 1>your together, Sally Field. Anyway, after much thought, because it's

0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Sally Field, Oh god, are you kidding, I would first

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:29.440
<v Speaker 1>get on bended knee and I'd be like, television, Sally Field,

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I love you so much? What's sorry? Goes up with

0:40:32.360 --> 0:40:33.839
<v Speaker 1>the timeline of the Christmas Tree?

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Can we talk about it?

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>She would be like, do you want to talk about

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Forrest Gump? Mi Emmy's I'd be like, nope, no Christmas Tree.

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:45.799
<v Speaker 2>When you were directing and the editing process, how did

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 2>we not realize that we don't have any footage of

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:50.000
<v Speaker 2>any of the timeline.

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Is Beth crazy? That's all we need to know? Is

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Beth crazy? Anyway? After yes, is she against it? Or

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.040
<v Speaker 1>is she crazy? Is he an ass? Or is she crazy?

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Because it's one of the two. Anyway, after much thought.

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Sister Anthony wants Richard to take her Tree. She wants

0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:06.799
<v Speaker 1>it to be the best it can be. She needs

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to let Tree move on with grace and dignity. Richard

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.799
<v Speaker 1>cannot believe what he's hearing. He has insurance for the best.

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 1>If Tree is moving on, what about her? Richard wants

0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:17.560
<v Speaker 1>her to seize the day in the same way. She's

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 1>still carrying the satchel, and Richard thinks there's something she's

0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.680
<v Speaker 1>not telling him about it. He notices the bag has

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a zipper and it's made from an old pair of trousers,

0:41:25.400 --> 0:41:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and he knows that young Tom could not have made

0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:29.919
<v Speaker 1>that bag. He knows that a part of the story

0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:32.320
<v Speaker 1>is missing, but she gets emotional and says she doesn't know.

0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:36.040
<v Speaker 1>She makes him promise to take Tree. We are now

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 1>back at Beth's. A flustered Richard shows up with no warning,

0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and she's getting ready for a date with some dude

0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>named Evan who we'd all probably hate. And Evan's probably

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the best thing that ever would have happened to me,

0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and now she'll never know. He tells her about the

0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 1>latest with Tree, and he says he can't do it.

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:55.400
<v Speaker 1>It's meant too much to Sister Anthony. He admits part

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of him is missing and he's been too frightened to

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>love something or someone like the nun loves the tree.

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Just as her date arrives, he says he loves her

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:05.279
<v Speaker 1>and leaves, just crossing paths with Evan at the door,

0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.399
<v Speaker 1>making her look like a real Trollope. Yes, I'm using

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:10.839
<v Speaker 1>that word, by the way, for the record, she looks

0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:12.960
<v Speaker 1>like a trollop because she has two dates, He's had

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>forty two women.

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Call and yet he's still the guy like he's getting

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:21.000
<v Speaker 2>she's getting caught, and she did not even invite him

0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:24.280
<v Speaker 2>over Nope. And it's like what we I was waiting

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 2>to see, Like, what would you say to that situation?

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:30.440
<v Speaker 2>He's my brother, he doesn't look.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Like me nowadays I'd be like, oh, thank you, tell him.

0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm a plumber, which is funny because that was Roy's

0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it did, but it just also kind of like, what

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:43.719
<v Speaker 2>would you say, Oh that looks bad?

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:45.960
<v Speaker 1>How about hey, sorry, Evan? I was just getting some

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 1>strange before our date.

0:42:47.280 --> 0:42:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it just.

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:50.360
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty gaming.

0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Does that work?

0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I want it to be relaxed on our date. Thank you, stranger.

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>That could have worked, Probably not it's.

0:42:57.080 --> 0:43:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Gotta happen with like bumble stuff all the time. It's

0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 2>gotta happen like a brunch day on a Sunday and

0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 2>afternoon date and a date dating anything. There's guys out

0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:11.160
<v Speaker 2>there and girls out there that play the game.

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Back, Thank God, Please don't judging.

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to be a part of it.

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not judging either. I just don't. I don't. I

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want to play the game. I'm not judging the game.

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I just don't want to play it. Later, Richard's at

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:24.879
<v Speaker 1>his place and Beth shows up. She wasn't into Evan.

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>She showed up with some wine. They cheers and kiss

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:32.239
<v Speaker 1>to accepting Tree as the new Rockefeller Tree. The next day,

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Richard's cruz removing Tree as the Nun watches on, Sister

0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Anthony and her friends decide to give it a moment

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:39.600
<v Speaker 1>of prayer, singing and spraying it with holy water, which

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:42.319
<v Speaker 1>is really awesome. Even the construction workers remove their hard hats.

0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a very sweet scene. Once I did too,

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the singing together, it was really great. Once done, Sister

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony decides she'll stay with Tree, even if it takes

0:43:51.600 --> 0:43:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a few days to remove him. Properly, so Beth joins her.

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:56.960
<v Speaker 1>As each branch is packed for transportation and the final

0:43:57.080 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 1>cut is prepared, we hear a chainsaw and Sister Anthony

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and he breaks down into tears. As it's finally cut

0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:04.880
<v Speaker 1>down and placed on a flatbed. Richard escorts her to

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the trunk and she feels around to learn that he

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:11.200
<v Speaker 1>was seventy five feet. I think that also, you also

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have to figure out how I think that's the age too,

0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 1>he's seventy five years old.

0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Well to tell how old a tree rings?

0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:18.840
<v Speaker 1>The rings I think she counted the rings. It was

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:22.600
<v Speaker 1>seventy years old. Yeah, yeah, something like that. She has

0:44:22.840 --> 0:44:24.759
<v Speaker 1>what was the tallest tree ever? The record was ninety

0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 1>eight feet, but she knows even if he's not the

0:44:26.719 --> 0:44:30.319
<v Speaker 1>tallest ever, he is the most beautiful. Everyone agrees. Sister

0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony says one last goodbye, crying into one of his branches,

0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and walks home alone. I've never felt so much for

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a tree in my life. We returned to the monastery.

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:42.320
<v Speaker 1>All the nuns are rushing to a van. They're traveling

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to the city as quote unquote guests of honor for trees,

0:44:44.800 --> 0:44:48.640
<v Speaker 1>big lighting ceremony, But Sister Anthony has decided not to go.

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Just then, Richard drives up in a fancy I love this.

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Richard drives up in a fancy sports car that's so

0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:56.640
<v Speaker 1>expensive it's probably the reason he can't afford that rent increase.

0:44:56.920 --> 0:45:00.719
<v Speaker 1>But he also comes in pissed, like he's like I'm

0:45:00.719 --> 0:45:01.080
<v Speaker 1>getting her.

0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like yeah.

0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which was kind of fun. But he has a

0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:11.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to do, but nothing is more important

0:45:11.560 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 1>than what he has to do at Brush Creek. He's

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:16.480
<v Speaker 1>there to convince Sister Anthony to attend. Richard tells her

0:45:16.520 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>how important she's been to him. She's taught him about

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:20.920
<v Speaker 1>love and following his heart. She needs to now see

0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Tree being the best he could be. He says he

0:45:23.600 --> 0:45:25.440
<v Speaker 1>will be there for her and won't let go of

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 1>her hand. He begs her to trust him, crying again,

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and his words, of course, trigger a new flashback. She

0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:33.759
<v Speaker 1>took a lot of acids, so she's been flashing a

0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:38.280
<v Speaker 1>lot lately. She now sees her father. She remembers standing

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in line for soup during the depression. She was scared.

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:43.200
<v Speaker 1>He was the one who made the bag, and the

0:45:43.280 --> 0:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>star she's been seeing in her dreams is starting to

0:45:45.480 --> 0:45:48.280
<v Speaker 1>make sense. With that she decides to get in Richard's

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.640
<v Speaker 1>car and go to the Big City. It's the night

0:45:50.680 --> 0:45:52.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Big Rockefeller set her ceremony, and Richard is

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.359
<v Speaker 1>taking care of a very nervous Sister Anthony. They walk

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 1>through the crowd and Sister Anthony starts to see moments

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:01.480
<v Speaker 1>of her childhood and her dad. She figures out she

0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:05.120
<v Speaker 1>was at the lighting ceremony before with her dad as

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a kid. The star she always saw on her nightwear

0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:10.160
<v Speaker 1>was from the star from the tree from Rockeveller Center

0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:13.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about Kismet. Her dad didn't leave her. He was

0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:16.160
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately very sick and he died, and this was an

0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>important memory that she had just unlocked. And it took

0:46:19.600 --> 0:46:22.640
<v Speaker 1>her to see the tree, and now it's her tree.

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:26.480
<v Speaker 1>It's come full circle. She wishes Richard a merry Christmas

0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:29.160
<v Speaker 1>and yells Merry Christmas to tree. Beth joins them and

0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:30.879
<v Speaker 1>we hear reading of a new letter that she sent.

0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:33.239
<v Speaker 1>We pull away from a now illuminated tree becoming a

0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:36.400
<v Speaker 1>simple moment of beauty, and she is very proud. End

0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of movie. You didn't cry it all, not one, Oh

0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:42.960
<v Speaker 1>my god, I know. Didn't you cry during Johnny's tsunami

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:43.480
<v Speaker 1>or something.

0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's why it was weird. I don't know why

0:46:45.880 --> 0:46:49.240
<v Speaker 2>if I've just in a mood. I mean, like, especially

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Christmas movies, they usually really get me, no matter how

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:57.680
<v Speaker 2>cheesy or corny the storyline is, they usually always get me.

0:46:57.800 --> 0:47:03.640
<v Speaker 2>But this didn't. I did really love the the flashbacks.

0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I did.

0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I did like that, but you know, just to I

0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:10.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't cry. I thought I would, but it just did

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:12.800
<v Speaker 2>not happen to me. It couldn't get there emotionally.

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, maybe a hot take

0:47:15.320 --> 0:47:19.719
<v Speaker 1>of this movie. It didn't feel like a Christmas movie

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to me at all at all. I get what they

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:25.279
<v Speaker 1>were doing, and I think the idea of how the

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like a Christmas movie based around the tree at Rockefeller

0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Center and how we get it and giving that wonderful

0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:34.680
<v Speaker 1>idea that's a cool idea didn't feel like a Christmas

0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:37.000
<v Speaker 1>movie to me. It felt like a play, which again

0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm down for. I dig a nice quiet movie. Occasionally

0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I two actors sitting in a room and talking for

0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:41.959
<v Speaker 1>two hours.

0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Assume this is going to be based all around the holidays,

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's yeah, which I knew it couldn't have been,

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 2>because you know, being that we were at a monastery

0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 2>like that would have been a lot more religious. This

0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:57.680
<v Speaker 2>was this absolutely did go to a religious level that

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:00.440
<v Speaker 2>we have not seen on any of the movie at

0:48:00.440 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 2>this point. Talking about her father and the father that's

0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:04.320
<v Speaker 2>been watching.

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Her, and the tree is clearly God or supposed to

0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:08.440
<v Speaker 1>be faith or your connection.

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Well they even have the symbolism of the Son of

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 1>God because she now has the offshoot of the tree

0:48:15.120 --> 0:48:18.279
<v Speaker 1>that she's going to reap again. Yes, yeah, so it's

0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's all this kind of sim you know,

0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:23.120
<v Speaker 1>religious symbolism in this movie. Definitely, totally so.

0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:25.400
<v Speaker 2>But I knew that being the case, it wasn't going

0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:28.360
<v Speaker 2>to be like Christmas Tree Santa Claus, because that Christmas

0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Tree goes to Santa Claus. It does not go to

0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>the Birth of Jesus, right, you know, I knew we

0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:34.200
<v Speaker 2>weren't really going to go there.

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you know where they actually think the Christmas Tree

0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:39.720
<v Speaker 1>came from. No, So in ancient Egypt, on the longest

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>day of the year, people would bring in one big

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:45.520
<v Speaker 1>palm fron into their home to celebrate the longest day

0:48:45.520 --> 0:48:47.400
<v Speaker 1>of the year. So they think that is actually the

0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:49.440
<v Speaker 1>origin of the Christmas tree.

0:48:50.040 --> 0:48:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay, wouldn't that be in July for us?

0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Well, the dates are all right. I mean everything

0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:59.919
<v Speaker 1>else has been moved around for the Pagan calendar. But yes, yeah,

0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:01.439
<v Speaker 1>it was all over the place.

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:06.480
<v Speaker 2>But yes, okay, so well, yeah I did end up not.

0:49:06.719 --> 0:49:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I just I didn't not like this movie in any sort.

0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I I double negative. That's tricky. What do you I

0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:13.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you meant.

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I did it, I wasn't. I I liked it, but

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I didn't love it, right, and I definitely

0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't hate it.

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Right. Okay, I kind of feel the same way. But

0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:27.160
<v Speaker 1>let's do let's see what some other people thought, and

0:49:27.280 --> 0:49:29.080
<v Speaker 1>let's do some real reviews. And I think I have

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the five star. This is from Karen Way to Go.

0:49:32.160 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Karen.

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Karen s has a five star. She said, when the

0:49:35.800 --> 0:49:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Tree was on, the phone rang it was my mother.

0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I had picked up the phone without really thinking. All

0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I said was that the best Christmas movie ever was

0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:44.640
<v Speaker 1>on and I could not talk right then and hug

0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:47.120
<v Speaker 1>up the phone, not answering again until the show ended.

0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I have a big flowering crab that grows in front

0:49:49.960 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of my house that gives me so much pleasure during

0:49:52.000 --> 0:49:54.080
<v Speaker 1>every season, and I sometimes think of it as tree.

0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree with others. Why do they not replay this

0:49:56.680 --> 0:49:58.800
<v Speaker 1>movie on TV? Five stars?

0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:01.680
<v Speaker 2>All right? So what do you got related to that?

0:50:02.360 --> 0:50:04.919
<v Speaker 1>It struck her right where she lived.

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, she's in that whole wheelhouse of she is talking

0:50:08.480 --> 0:50:16.279
<v Speaker 2>to plants. Awesome, I talked to plants. I have a

0:50:16.360 --> 0:50:18.480
<v Speaker 2>really good friend who like sings to them. She puts

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:22.319
<v Speaker 2>good music out to her. I'll tell you she does

0:50:22.520 --> 0:50:26.880
<v Speaker 2>have quite giant vegetables like bell peppers and cucumbers.

0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Or is that an aphemism?

0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:30.640
<v Speaker 2>If I ever meet her, I knew you were gonna

0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:35.120
<v Speaker 2>say that. I'm like, he's gonna say I didn't want so.

0:50:35.239 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I tried to put in bell peppers first.

0:50:40.200 --> 0:50:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to meet Sabrina's fram with the big vegetables.

0:50:44.440 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 2>But she really does she puts out like I feel

0:50:46.680 --> 0:50:50.279
<v Speaker 2>like she puts out. I don't know. There's a certain

0:50:50.440 --> 0:50:53.399
<v Speaker 2>she's got big vegetables and she puts out, Oh my gosh,

0:50:53.600 --> 0:50:56.120
<v Speaker 2>oh my god. All right, moving on to this one

0:50:56.239 --> 0:50:59.279
<v Speaker 2>star getting will out of the gutter here all right?

0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:03.960
<v Speaker 2>This one star review is from Peter J. It's about

0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a nun and a tree and a guy. Who befriends

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:10.600
<v Speaker 2>them both. Not much more to it than that. Kind

0:51:10.640 --> 0:51:11.239
<v Speaker 2>of true, Peter.

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:13.359
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of true, Peter.

0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:16.399
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't give it one star, but it's kind of true, Peter,

0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:17.399
<v Speaker 2>kind of true.

0:51:25.840 --> 0:51:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, we are now to the wonderful portion of a

0:51:27.719 --> 0:51:29.839
<v Speaker 1>program that is, of course Sabrina's favorite every week, which

0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is our feature. We do get a bit of a

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:36.600
<v Speaker 1>break today though, because your your nemesis producer Jensen Is

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he took the week off. He is is a bit

0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>under the week he did. So we have a new

0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a new crew that's going to be helping us out

0:51:44.280 --> 0:51:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this week. And this feature is entitled Him or Her

0:51:48.400 --> 0:51:52.560
<v Speaker 1>So IMDb incorrectly credited comedian Colin Quinn as Tom in

0:51:52.640 --> 0:51:54.719
<v Speaker 1>this movie when it's actually just a different actor with

0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the same name and one extra L in their name.

0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:01.000
<v Speaker 1>To commemorate this mistake, we will get the born government

0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:04.800
<v Speaker 1>names of five famous people that are coincidentally also the

0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:07.960
<v Speaker 1>names of another celebrity. We have to figure out what

0:52:08.200 --> 0:52:11.719
<v Speaker 1>name they change their name to. If we get three

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:14.480
<v Speaker 1>out of five, we win. Does it mean like what

0:52:14.640 --> 0:52:17.359
<v Speaker 1>the other Michael Jordan changed their name to something else

0:52:17.400 --> 0:52:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and then have become famous? So it's like, what did

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the other Michael Jordan change their name to? Is that

0:52:21.800 --> 0:52:22.160
<v Speaker 1>what it is?

0:52:22.920 --> 0:52:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's Michael B. Jordan, right, Okay, well I.

0:52:26.520 --> 0:52:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Think Sabrina might have already gotten the first one. So

0:52:28.440 --> 0:52:30.520
<v Speaker 1>let's see if we're right. So the first min so

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:34.360
<v Speaker 1>is Michael Jordan, then Michael B. Jordan. Correct, Okay, so

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that's one. The so number two then is Kate Hudson.

0:52:38.480 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So there's a second Kate Hudson.

0:52:40.400 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I don't know why I want to say

0:52:42.160 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Katie Hudson.

0:52:43.760 --> 0:52:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Really, I was gonna say Kadie, maybe Katie Holmes, but no,

0:52:47.160 --> 0:52:50.759
<v Speaker 1>she would be before, wouldn't she Kate? Who would come

0:52:50.840 --> 0:52:54.839
<v Speaker 1>after Kate Hudson? Kate, I don't know, I'm gonna say

0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Katie Holmes.

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're both incorrect.

0:52:58.080 --> 0:52:59.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Katie Perry.

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh I don't know.

0:53:02.800 --> 0:53:04.560
<v Speaker 1>So how the hell are we supposed to just guess

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:06.600
<v Speaker 1>random people? This is the worst game ever?

0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, like, if you know, I mean, because I know

0:53:09.440 --> 0:53:10.120
<v Speaker 2>of Michael B.

0:53:10.280 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's I'm right, But that's an easy one. This one

0:53:12.719 --> 0:53:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Kate Hudson. I didn't know that was changed.

0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:18.720
<v Speaker 2>So Katie Perry's original name name was Kate Hudson.

0:53:18.880 --> 0:53:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay. The other Albert Einstein. Oh, I know this. It's

0:53:21.880 --> 0:53:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Albert Brooks. Okay, who is he Albert Einstein?

0:53:26.080 --> 0:53:26.840
<v Speaker 2>No Brooks.

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Albert Brooks is a is an actor, huge actor.

0:53:29.440 --> 0:53:32.360
<v Speaker 1>He was in Defending Your Life and I mean a

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:34.239
<v Speaker 1>thousand different things. You'd recognize him if you saw him.

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Am I right? Is it Albert Brooks?

0:53:36.239 --> 0:53:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you're correct.

0:53:39.400 --> 0:53:43.520
<v Speaker 1>The other Michael Douglas. I'd say Kirk Douglas, but that's

0:53:43.600 --> 0:53:46.680
<v Speaker 1>just his dad. Yeah, Michael, maybe it is, though maybe

0:53:46.680 --> 0:53:47.320
<v Speaker 1>he's a junior.

0:53:48.320 --> 0:53:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe Kirk.

0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think k I'm gonna go with that, Okay,

0:53:53.320 --> 0:53:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael Douglas. She's gonna say Kirk Douglas. I'm gonna say

0:53:56.280 --> 0:54:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Michael B. Jordan. No, see Michael Douglas would go to

0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, I don't know. I don't know who it is.

0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:12.440
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, it's Michael Keaton. Oh whoa Okay, okay.

0:54:12.640 --> 0:54:14.759
<v Speaker 1>And finally our last one is we mercifully come to

0:54:14.800 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the end of this difficult game. This might as well

0:54:17.719 --> 0:54:22.480
<v Speaker 1>have all just been math. I know the other Elizabeth Mitchell,

0:54:22.640 --> 0:54:27.399
<v Speaker 1>an actress from Lost. I'm going to say Elizabeth Moss.

0:54:28.400 --> 0:54:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea it's Elizabeth Banks. Oh yeah, so

0:54:34.600 --> 0:54:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you guys bought I don't know who. Yeah, we lost.

0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:41.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a terrible game, whatever happened, and knowing what

0:54:42.040 --> 0:54:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a turkey is and bowling things and my god, oh

0:54:46.640 --> 0:54:47.880
<v Speaker 1>my okay, well.

0:54:47.760 --> 0:54:50.080
<v Speaker 2>There we go school. I do love knowing that Kate

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Hudson was actually Ka Perry.

0:54:52.800 --> 0:54:56.200
<v Speaker 1>There you go, and Elizabeth Mitchell was actually Michael Douglas.

0:54:56.640 --> 0:55:00.480
<v Speaker 1>What are the chances of that? Can we do some sabrinas.

0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 2>We can? So I don't actually have a ton here

0:55:10.040 --> 0:55:12.200
<v Speaker 2>that we didn't already kind of go over. The first

0:55:12.200 --> 0:55:14.680
<v Speaker 2>one was what is this man's COVID gold? And why

0:55:14.760 --> 0:55:17.000
<v Speaker 2>isn't he protecting anyone else from?

0:55:18.640 --> 0:55:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Why is he trying to kill us?

0:55:21.440 --> 0:55:24.279
<v Speaker 2>There was just to meet. Their relationship kind of had

0:55:24.280 --> 0:55:26.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot like whenever they were on screen him in Beth,

0:55:26.920 --> 0:55:29.680
<v Speaker 2>their relationship had a lot of quirky what is going on?

0:55:29.880 --> 0:55:32.960
<v Speaker 2>What can't really I couldn't really figure out the dynamic

0:55:33.760 --> 0:55:35.480
<v Speaker 2>they made it seem by the time they were actually

0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 2>dating that they had kind of date. Like when she

0:55:37.719 --> 0:55:40.080
<v Speaker 2>was giving him the ultimatum, it seemed like she had

0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:44.480
<v Speaker 2>she was giving him that he had known that she

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:46.879
<v Speaker 2>was dating or like interested in him for a long time,

0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:50.360
<v Speaker 2>where it wasn't played that way earlier in the movie. No,

0:55:50.920 --> 0:55:54.279
<v Speaker 2>but she comes in when he's on the phone and

0:55:54.680 --> 0:55:58.560
<v Speaker 2>she's interrupting him so much. I want it. I felt

0:55:58.600 --> 0:56:00.680
<v Speaker 2>like when Monroe gets comes into the room and needs

0:56:00.800 --> 0:56:02.839
<v Speaker 2>like a glass of water and I'm on the phone,

0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:04.520
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, I wanted him to just like

0:56:04.719 --> 0:56:06.200
<v Speaker 2>pull his phone back and be like, who.

0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:10.120
<v Speaker 1>About the same thing.

0:56:11.360 --> 0:56:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. That I was very upset again about

0:56:14.360 --> 0:56:18.040
<v Speaker 2>that first kiss. Then there was this weird from the

0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:20.799
<v Speaker 2>They come back from you know, commercial break or whatever,

0:56:20.920 --> 0:56:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and they're now in a full blown relationship at this

0:56:23.040 --> 0:56:27.279
<v Speaker 2>cafe eating breakfast together. She comes out of nowhere, then

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:29.640
<v Speaker 2>sits and you can tell they had already been eating.

0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:32.480
<v Speaker 2>And then the bill comes and then he's looking around

0:56:32.560 --> 0:56:35.400
<v Speaker 2>for his wallet. She then pays the bill, which I

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:40.439
<v Speaker 2>was like, she just pays the bill. He totally thinks

0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that's normal. They get up and not that that's bad.

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:44.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not that girls can't pay, but it's just like

0:56:44.920 --> 0:56:46.600
<v Speaker 2>it was that. And then like she had the key

0:56:46.920 --> 0:56:49.520
<v Speaker 2>his key for his apartment. Yeah, he didn't even have

0:56:49.600 --> 0:56:52.120
<v Speaker 2>this weird Yeah, he didn't have his key. He kept

0:56:52.160 --> 0:56:55.200
<v Speaker 2>like looking for anything. It was this weird dynamic that

0:56:55.360 --> 0:56:57.879
<v Speaker 2>that that scene. I kind of was like, I don't

0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:00.480
<v Speaker 2>understand and again at that point and to figure out

0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:02.920
<v Speaker 2>how long they've now been together. But that was just

0:57:03.000 --> 0:57:05.960
<v Speaker 2>like a really frustrating part for me the movie. I

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:09.560
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get over it. And then they did another thing

0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:13.920
<v Speaker 2>which I hate when people do. It's not just if

0:57:13.960 --> 0:57:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm toasting, if someone else toasts, when they go, you know,

0:57:16.960 --> 0:57:19.880
<v Speaker 2>cheers to something, you know, cheers to us, and then

0:57:19.920 --> 0:57:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the other person they're cheersing does a different cheers. So

0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:27.800
<v Speaker 2>he said, or she said, cheers to Sister Anthony. You know,

0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:29.840
<v Speaker 2>he had talked to her about getting to use the tree.

0:57:30.120 --> 0:57:33.360
<v Speaker 2>She says, cheers to Sister Anthony, and he goes cheers

0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to tree. I was like, can you just that job

0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 2>irritated me. But I hate when people do that. If

0:57:41.600 --> 0:57:44.800
<v Speaker 2>someone does a toast, oh let them have the toast, and.

0:57:44.920 --> 0:57:46.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't wait to do that too. I can't wait

0:57:47.040 --> 0:57:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to do That's gonna be my new favorite thing is

0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:50.400
<v Speaker 1>you and I if we ever cheers together, I'm just

0:57:50.440 --> 0:57:52.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna do something just totally random. I can't wait.

0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:58.400
<v Speaker 2>So bothersome their relationship was so weird start to beginning.

0:57:58.600 --> 0:58:00.840
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm meaning is at the end of the

0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:04.120
<v Speaker 2>movie when they're now together. Even then, they've got these weird,

0:58:04.160 --> 0:58:07.160
<v Speaker 2>little dynamic things that I'm like, this relationship isn't The

0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 2>trees can put up in Rockefeller, but this tree, this

0:58:10.680 --> 0:58:13.840
<v Speaker 2>relationship is doomed. We are chopping it down. It's been

0:58:14.040 --> 0:58:15.200
<v Speaker 2>three months after Christmas.

0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:15.960
<v Speaker 1>It's so strange.

0:58:16.240 --> 0:58:18.640
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna go to Valentine's Day and then boom.

0:58:18.480 --> 0:58:20.440
<v Speaker 1>And we're done, and we're done. Well, he's got so

0:58:20.480 --> 0:58:21.240
<v Speaker 1>many other dates.

0:58:21.640 --> 0:58:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he'll move on anyway. That was it.

0:58:24.760 --> 0:58:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well those are good, and I agree the not

0:58:27.520 --> 0:58:30.160
<v Speaker 1>knowing the timeline of the relationship. It was a strange relationship.

0:58:30.280 --> 0:58:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get tooting for you exactly. I don't care

0:58:33.640 --> 0:58:35.520
<v Speaker 1>for this at all. Anyway, We now have to rate

0:58:35.560 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the movie, and it's one out of ten, of course,

0:58:37.200 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>one being the worst, ten being the best. Some day

0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:40.920
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna switch that up, but for right now we'll

0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:42.400
<v Speaker 1>keep one being the worst and ten being the best.

0:58:42.840 --> 0:58:44.680
<v Speaker 1>This week, we've got a number of options. How about

0:58:44.680 --> 0:58:47.560
<v Speaker 1>one out of ten trees named tree, one out of

0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:51.640
<v Speaker 1>ten terrible Rockefeller HR departments, one out of ten cures

0:58:51.680 --> 0:58:55.280
<v Speaker 1>for the plague one out of ten, Plumber Loves one

0:58:55.320 --> 0:58:58.120
<v Speaker 1>out of ten, Embracing of bark one out of ten,

0:58:58.280 --> 0:59:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Jerk Grove Christmas trees one at tend, slow running nuns

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:05.360
<v Speaker 1>one out of tend, some dudes named Evan or one

0:59:05.440 --> 0:59:08.040
<v Speaker 1>out of ten tree prayers. I'd like to add one

0:59:08.080 --> 0:59:10.960
<v Speaker 1>out of ten different cheers. What would you like, Sabrina?

0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:12.720
<v Speaker 1>You pick this week?

0:59:13.440 --> 0:59:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I think I'm gonna do one out of

0:59:16.480 --> 0:59:17.680
<v Speaker 2>ten cures for the plague.

0:59:17.960 --> 0:59:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You got it. I think you went first last time.

0:59:22.080 --> 0:59:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't. Okay, I did, so I will go first

0:59:24.520 --> 0:59:27.320
<v Speaker 1>this time. I feel like you. This movie had a

0:59:27.360 --> 0:59:30.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of holes in it. Time wise, it made no sense.

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:34.320
<v Speaker 1>The acting was wonderful. Obviously Sally Field directed the movie.

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I get what they were going for.

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 2>It did not.

0:59:36.720 --> 0:59:39.280
<v Speaker 1>It did itself a disservice bike being saying it was

0:59:39.280 --> 0:59:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas movie, if that makes sense, because you're expecting

0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:45.560
<v Speaker 1>one thing. You know, if somebody tells you I'm going

0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to give you a donut and then they give you

0:59:47.400 --> 0:59:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a bagel, even if it's the best bagel you've ever had,

0:59:50.400 --> 0:59:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you were expecting a donut. Yees, So I was expecting

0:59:53.760 --> 0:59:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a big Christmas movie, and it just kind of wasn't

0:59:56.880 --> 0:59:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that being said, I didn't hate it. I found myself

0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>openly crying at one scene. So I'm gonna go with

1:00:03.280 --> 1:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>six point five cures for the plague for this movie,

1:00:07.360 --> 1:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's fair. Frankly, Yes, yeah.

1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's actually kind of high for you when you're

1:00:12.160 --> 1:00:13.680
<v Speaker 2>when you seem to be in the middle you.

1:00:13.880 --> 1:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I like the acting.

1:00:15.160 --> 1:00:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I liked the acting was really good. I liked the flashbacks.

1:00:19.120 --> 1:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Those were probably my favorite party and they looked nice.

1:00:21.480 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>They were all kind of sepi atone they all looked yes.

1:00:24.120 --> 1:00:26.160
<v Speaker 2>It was easy to tell that that's what we were doing.

1:00:26.960 --> 1:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>One of my supreacies I just popped in my head

1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the little girl that was the Bully. She did look

1:00:30.880 --> 1:00:33.160
<v Speaker 2>like she belonged in that era at all.

1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>She wasn't dressed bull the nineties.

1:00:35.800 --> 1:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah she did. She did not fit. So that was

1:00:37.960 --> 1:00:40.480
<v Speaker 2>actually my first one. It's some of the popped up goings.

1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Why this girl where she?

1:00:43.360 --> 1:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>So?

1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I did like the I liked the flashbacks and the storytelling.

1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Although it was kind of funny to think, first of all,

1:00:49.640 --> 1:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>writing a letter in general is so weird in this

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>point where we are here in twenty twenty four. But uh,

1:00:57.280 --> 1:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>even that, I thought that was like a different way

1:00:59.760 --> 1:01:02.439
<v Speaker 2>than her just telling him the story face to face

1:01:02.600 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to be able to kind of go back and get

1:01:04.320 --> 1:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>some more backstory. So all of that made me like

1:01:07.360 --> 1:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it the movie a lot. I just really didn't, I guess,

1:01:10.200 --> 1:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>find that connection that I was hoping to get. And

1:01:12.920 --> 1:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I'm a big Christmas story lover, and

1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:19.320
<v Speaker 2>so I think it was the lack of even if

1:01:19.440 --> 1:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>we went through the Christmas season and they didn't get

1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the tree, we didn't see what season it was at all.

1:01:24.520 --> 1:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was strange.

1:01:25.880 --> 1:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>It was not until the very final scenes and I

1:01:28.080 --> 1:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>was looking for Christmas for the ninety two minutes that

1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I watched that movie. Yeah. That being said, I'm going

1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>to give it six cures for the plague for me

1:01:37.000 --> 1:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully he gets some good antibiotics.

1:01:39.800 --> 1:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll get him something to help him out.

1:01:41.560 --> 1:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Get him hell out.

1:01:42.760 --> 1:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>So we're right in the same area there. Thank you
