Speaker
Christmas special. Christmas special. Hello, I'm your host, Jolly.
00:00:54
Speaker
Ruthie.
00:00:57
Speaker
Hello. I don't like Christmas either. are not that not as much as other people, at least. It's too much. that to be That's too long of a name. Yeah, this is like a really long name. I'm not going to say that. me They know me.
00:01:13
Speaker
They know that who am. If they don't, though, what's your name? Ed. All right. Ed. I'm Elia. I'm Hector's mom.
00:01:24
Speaker
And I love Christmas. And I start my Christmas decoration in October. And that's late. That's too and and it it's too much. and If she goes up before my birthday, it's on time. and My birthday is not in October. If you guys want to know, we are surrounded by Christmas trees all around us. they're encroaching ever and ever closer. And it sucks. And like we're losing we're losing ground. The war on Christmas claims former. victorys a that should have been the cold open that should have been the cold open fuck and so um today we god damn it i think we should take this moment i did campaign for the cold open to be us taking a moment to reflect on all the christmas the hallmark christmas movies we have watched so you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna brute force this in uh I only remember two other ones. That's all. That's all. there's Sweetest Christmas, the gingerbread one. Okay.
00:02:25
Speaker
Right. Yeah. Yes. I think I mix up the gingerbread one with the time traveling one a lot. That's fair. Both of them are kind of nothing burgers, but the next one was Journey Back to Christmas, where it judged you for being on your phone too much.
00:02:39
Speaker
You have a really good memory. I remember that. Wait, what? What that? That was the first one that I participated in. Yes. That was my favorite because Mom participated in that one. The next one. What?
00:02:49
Speaker
Yeah. I don't remember that one at all. It's the World War II one where the nurse comes to modern life and she's like... That's the time traveling one. That's the time traveling one. Yeah, okay. And then she's like, she's not stunned about black people not being segregated. She's stunned that everyone's on their phones. Not the existence of phones, that everyone's on them. Is this one the spiritual successor to... I think so. That's the one, like, what I remember from that one is like the guy investigated the perfume and it was oxidized.
00:03:17
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Okay. I don't remember that. That was such Yeah, because he was like investigating... Because i didt I didn't know perfumes oxidize. I did that. I learned... It depends on the chemical. Yes, I learned that that. The next one was the Nothing Burger, a holiday in Harlem. Oh, I don't remember. Where every conflict was resolved in five minutes. No, no, no. Every conflict was presented and resolved in the same scene. Yeah. Yeah. yeah because that's how storytelling works, everyone. yeah and then then we had Chris. Never been Chris. That one was sad because mom wasn't able to... Was that the one you weren't able to join? We watched it, but I was sick during the recording. Yeah, that's my how was that one made me a little sad. It wasn't as fun as was. was also just a really bad movie. That too. That was egregiously bad. Yeah. It was really bad. And if you thought those others were bad...
00:04:08
Speaker
We have found the Mac Daddy. This is really bad. We found...
Critique of 'A Christmas Angel Match'
00:04:14
Speaker
Those other ones were just mind flayers. We found the Elder Brain. Yeah. the whole The one person who likes D&D and Hallmark Christmas films is fucking pumping their fists in the air right now. Yeah, they're on hog wild right now. The one person. I've seen. They're like, that's me. ah Yeah, we found the Elder Brain of Hallmark Christmas movies. Would you like to introduce this movie?
00:04:40
Speaker
ah Yeah, yeah, please show me the name of the movie again. I don't remember. It's such a bad name, too. called A Christmas Angel Match, and it's exactly what you think it is from reading the title.
00:04:52
Speaker
Imagine like, so the the plot, the bare bones, because no one's seen, the people are avoiding this one. So going to go bare bones. It's really bad. It's really bad. Hallmark enjoyers. Ilya, as a Hallmark enjoyer, can you share what the community thinks of this one?
00:05:09
Speaker
Well, I check on the reviews because I thought that the movie was really bad. And when I check on the reviews, all the reviews were bad. saying the same, really bad movie. They couldn't follow through because they needed to turn on off the TV because it was so boring. And and was it were the reviews accurate?
00:05:29
Speaker
Yes, they are very accurate. I watched it completely because I needed to find a really bad movie, but I didn't want to. There was a hostage By the time she was like, okay, guys, we're gonna... She brought out the good wine when we were washing it together. That's how yeah's how you know it's bad. She brought out the good wine.
00:05:51
Speaker
no Oh, It was bad. So the plot summary is there's this older lit angel. Her name is... I have to pull up the letterbox. There's an old angel lady and a young angel. Monica and Michael. yeah And they do... their They're tasked to to do...
00:06:08
Speaker
Christmas matches on Earth or whatever. And then they get assigned to the same couple that they're trying to match up and eventually it kind of works out. well so And their but their parents also hook up but like one of them is adopted kind of. And then the angels also get together. Ed, you missed out.
00:06:27
Speaker
the angel The angels are in a your bureaucracy of some kind. Yeah, that's And they're being forced to partner together because angels work so low. They're being forced to work together because the department's planning on downsizing.
00:06:43
Speaker
To Cupid. Yeah, so it's like, if they fail, they're going to go either to Valentine's Day or Halloween. if Also, the worst part, for me personally, is the special... This movie was very special effects and CGI heavy. I have seen YouTubers with $10 budget do better.
00:07:04
Speaker
Yeah, like first time on premiere ah Adobe Premiere, I can do effects better. With all the stars flowing, it was really silly, like kids's a kids movie or something. Yeah, it belonged in an animated movie. and Yeah.
00:07:21
Speaker
This will been a lot better animated. Not by much, it'll have little better. Well, and another thing to point out, because I feel like I have to point this out, at least for my own sanity. Earlier this year, Hector and I watched a movie that also came out in 2025 called Good Fortunes. It starred Aziz Ansari, Keanu Reeves, and Seth Rogen. And it had a very similar premise of like an angel watching over people and being tasked with this one hyper-specific thing.
00:07:47
Speaker
In this case, Keanu Reeves is the angel of drunk of texting and driving. Not drunk driving. That's different. Distracted driving. No, texting and driving. Distracted driving. No, no just tuxing just texting. Just texting. Texting and driving. And then he he does the It's a Wonderful Life thing. He switches the two of them.
00:08:05
Speaker
But Aziz Ansari is rich now and he doesn't want to stop being rich, obviously. Oh. The movie is actually kind of funny. It's really fun. And then you watch this where it kind of does that, but not at all. And it's, it's, weird there was some weird similarities too. There lot of weird similarities, but it was noticeably worse. Also, if I can tell you guys on good fortune, there's two comedians, Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari. Then you got Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is consistently the funniest character in the entire movie.
00:08:37
Speaker
His strawberry milkshake monologue was so funny. Yeah, it was so good. Are you telling me he does like Christmas story, like the Scrooge thing?
00:08:47
Speaker
No, not a Christmas story. No, it's a wonderful life. So it's like, if you did not exist as you. So in this case, he switched the season, sorry, with a billionaire. oh So the the rich guy becomes the poor guy and the poor but guy becomes the rich guy. yeah, then he doesn't want to go back. yeah Yeah. Why would you want to go back? yeah It's really well... like I was like, oh, the movie does surprise me. I wasn't the biggest fan of some of it, but it was really good.
00:09:13
Speaker
i know't ah We gotta stop before we start talking about a better movie. really enjoyed that one. That one was fun. And then we gotta to come back to this. business So... Oh my god, this movie is a pain in the ass.
00:09:29
Speaker
Julia, it's your episode. um How do you want the order to go? Well, let's start with the likes. Do you want to go first? You get to pick. Okay. I start because I'm the guest.
00:09:46
Speaker
Thank you. Well, for me, the likes and and I know you won't like what I'm saying, what but what I like is the theme that they were ah talking about the phones and the relationships that we, the the connections with the humans connections.
00:10:08
Speaker
can you Can you repeat that? Sorry, I was answering a couple discord messages. Well, the thing is that i have seen kids just sitting down in one in front of the other, and they text to each other.
00:10:23
Speaker
So for me, the they just the talking, the interactions are important. And so most of the time we are missing this because of the phones. And that is the only thing that I like from this movie because they they talk about it several times can i make a counter argument yeah you can if they talked about it if they talked about if they talked about it seven times they talked about it eight times too many it was beaten over the head okay yeah Do you agree with that They touch it several times, but for me, it's like I say, yeah I observe that. And even sometimes I just we surround surrounded by people and I just on my phone, I don't i do the same, which is doesn't mean that I'm doing the right thing.
00:11:12
Speaker
If you are surrounded by people, you should be talking to people and interacting with them. That's my point of view, and I respect all of your... If you disagree, it's okay. I mean, that's why I keep talking to all everyone on the subway. They love me. no um
00:11:29
Speaker
So that's my like. Ruthie? Oh, so we're just going to round around do a like whole thing the whole thing. yeah Normally when we do it, we go one person does everything.
00:11:40
Speaker
So all the likes, all the dislikes, all the fixes. Oh, I was thinking about... um and we can interrupt We can interrupt each other like we always do. It's fine. ah There was one scene that was like kind of sort of funny with... Maybe not funny in the way it would meant to be funny, but Monica saying that she had done all of her research and being surprised... that her target, who she researched all year, is so severely allergic to dogs to the point of needing an EpiPen. Also, don't forget, she's been helping that dude's family for like five generations. Yeah, yeah. She'd know about that. And then Michael doing the same damn thing three-fourths of the way through the movie. I can't remember what it was specifically, but like the girl the girl was like...
00:12:30
Speaker
Yeah, just both of them being like, oh, I researched. No, I researched harder. And then both of them forgetting what should be very basic information. No joke. The best friend character did more to help them than they did themselves. True, the gay best friend. yeah And also I also meant the angel lady. Oh, yeah, the angel best friend. The best friends in this movie are carrying the weight They're fucking... She was the one that... They're Atlas. broad They brought the dogs. Exactly. But she's and dick she is Atlas. Those two are Atlas in this film. Carrying the sky on their back. It insane.
00:13:09
Speaker
go ahead, actor. There's no likes. There's no likes for you. There are no likes, really. like the there was it There was literally nothing funny in this movie. Nothing good. Nothing that I...
00:13:22
Speaker
i was Nothing was done well. i was Not a single thing. I was strong and only swore half the time while watching this film. True. True. Your restraint. it My restraint is legendary. That's my only like for this goddamn film. I don't...
00:13:38
Speaker
ah Okay. What about... do you have you have anything else? That I like it? No. That movie's really bad. but Mom, how might left for the new people in the audience, how much do you like Hallmark films?
00:13:52
Speaker
I like them as soon as they start, I recorded them and start to watch it. I don't like to just watch it without recording because I want to skip the advertising. wendy how many When do you start watching them?
Hallmark's Early Christmas Movie Airings
00:14:07
Speaker
ah I don't remember exactly, but I think it was when you started to work with your first job in the houses.
00:14:19
Speaker
I think it means how early in the year do you start watching Christmas movies? Yeah, that year. No, no, no, no, no. In the year. oh when they start in October. Yeah. They start in October? They start in October. Yeah, October 20, the end October, October 26, 24. The fact that she knows the date, you guys. Chris, you're telling me that sometimes they start airing Christmas movies on my birthday?
00:14:41
Speaker
You want put that out there in the internet? no But you have Christmas in July that they, since last year, they're introducing to the new movies. Oh, they do introduce new movies. I'm about say. In July? In July, they i started they are starting to introduce new movies. oh Yeah, because it's Christmas in July.
00:14:59
Speaker
It's just during July. Okay, what does Christmas in July mean? It's just you halfway to Christmas, so people want Christmas a little early. No, Christmas in July is half of the year. yeah So they do like...
00:15:12
Speaker
started july 1st until july 25th they are celebrating like christmas like regular like christmas why because it's something they didn't start at hallmark it's something that i heard from the us yeah some people that really like christmas you know it's only once a year it's at the end of the year you want a little sprinkle of christmas early christmas and joy it's the farthest you can get from christmas
00:15:41
Speaker
I'm trying to be respectful. You're my son, remember? I know. I'm trying Is that this? Would June be the farthest? June would be the farthest, technically.
00:15:53
Speaker
Then you can double up on on Christmas in the second half of the year. oh yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. Oh, my God. Thank you, Ed. Because if you do it in June, that's too soon.
00:16:04
Speaker
It's too soon. It's too soon before Thanksgiving. But don't talk about that only. Nowadays, this year, well, last year, some stores started during summer to put the Christmas decorations on sale.
00:16:20
Speaker
But this year, it was, okay, I will mention Hobby Lobby only. But this year, Costco, Walmart, Target, no.
00:16:32
Speaker
My course, a little bit. But Costco, Walmart, and Hobby Lobby started by august September, having their Christmas decorations. They also had a lot of Halloween decorations, which made me happy. Yeah, but they were the two of them at the same time. Me and my mom are very a polar opposite. She does Christmas early, and she loves it. And I'm like, the earlier we can start Halloween, I love Spooky. he does Halloween is the whole month of October.
00:17:00
Speaker
yeah Yeah, I get mad when they put out the Halloween decorations before my birthday. And again, my birthday is well before October. but But they are doing it now. I know, it upsets me. I'm not. I'm very happy. Everything is now faster. upsets me that Christmas starts before Thanksgiving, basically. It should just be from December 1st to December 25th. Exactly. oh Just those 25 days.
00:17:31
Speaker
he still hard no Black Friday to Christmas. It's hard to put in the preparation. Not immediately after Thanksgiving. Did I ever tell you guys? One of the places I used to work, I used to job coach at, they played their Christmas music until New Year's Day.
00:17:50
Speaker
Yeah. No, it's past Christmas. But it well it can make sense because of Three Kings Day. when you this is a whitest This is the whitest oh know part of Oregon. like The whitest part of oregon you know why he'spiring Oregon. You know what is part of your problem, guys? Is that you were raised here in the U.S. We are Latin. Puerto Rico. He was. And you are were also raised here. i was half raised in Puerto Rico. but No, but they those after living 25 years here, you forgot you forgot that our traditions, Spanish traditions, the Latin traditions that are that we start on November,
00:18:39
Speaker
In reality, in Puerto Rico, the Christmas, and they last until the three key, the Wiseman days that was the January 6th. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get that. Unfortunate day.
00:18:54
Speaker
Oh, don't bring that here. Don't bring that here. Okay. All right. We'll cut that out. Never mind. Why? No, no, no. Don't worry about it. That's fine. But yeah, um... I just, I'm too, like, Ed and i are too much into, like, spooky stuff to, like, really get into the and Christmas we really. Can we get to the dislikes? Yeah, dislikes. Yeah, dislikes. this sos go Oh, dislikes. Okay.
00:19:18
Speaker
i dislike everything. They, ah there was, the connection was silly. They were acting silly, I think, during the movie. And they were jealous. they they The main couple. main couple which Which main couple? The angels or the humans?
Complexity & Themes in 'A Christmas Angel Match'
00:19:38
Speaker
The angels. You understand why i'm asking for clarification. Yeah. Well, they were three different couples, I know.
00:19:44
Speaker
So they started like, first that the angels, the the goal of them was to make a couple of the young people.
00:19:56
Speaker
But the thing is that we ended up with three different couples. So I don't know, it was too much, I think, having three couples. And...
00:20:08
Speaker
I think the cutest were the grandparents. yeah And they had the most natural chemistry talking to each other. They also sound like Shaq GPT wrote their lines. Which one? The grandparents. They felt like Shaq GPT wrote all their lines. That's why the chemistry worked, because it was two bots talking to each other.
00:20:31
Speaker
Well, all of them, their connections were weird. Mm-hmm. they they I don't know. My favorite character in this movie was I do have one like. Oh wait, hold on. Yeah, we have a cuckoo clock. My mom has a cuckoo clock. No, no, no. Repeat. i'm like My favorite part... I do have one like, actually. Unironically. The guy whose job in the Christmas tree farm was to be like, I need that picture of you two kissing! Because I kept making this joke where it was like, he doesn't even... work Why you have the employee who makes people kiss here?
00:21:00
Speaker
What are you talking about? And it's just some random dude who just likes to take pictures. He's just kissing pervert. Yeah, he's just a kissing pervert. that's That's a take for sure. Yeah.
00:21:13
Speaker
I think Hallmark would be better if they're all actually comedies. Oh, that's why you like it because it was the cringiest part of the movie. Yeah. I've discovered my love of cringey humor in the last two years. Don't hate me.
00:21:26
Speaker
My biggest dislike of the movie, I liked a disliked the themes. um The whole being on your phone thing felt incredibly patronizing.
00:21:38
Speaker
incredible My mom is doing like the, okay, I hear you nod. like Well, I respect all their point of view. So hear me out. If we're talking about another vice, an actual vice, is it more effective for us to say, this person who gambles is a horrible, awful person who's dumb, why can't he just stop doing this? Or like would it be better to explore why he is doing what he's doing and being more empathetic and treating him like a human being?
00:22:11
Speaker
which Which one's better, objectively? Presenting anything nice way.
00:22:19
Speaker
I think this movie just takes a candy cane and beats young people over the head! And it doesn't understand and it doesn't even try to understand why people are on their phones. Like, God forbid, they're addiction machines. They're designed to make people happy like dopamine producers and this movie is just like hey people dumb why are you on your phone why can't you be sophisticated you're right ruthie and now we're gonna go into this week's sponsor frame bet and it's a sports gambling it's looking like well um it's a sports ga thing it's a it's a card gambling game that's a that's a great double one time
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah. The other thing that I noticed as we were watching, Monica is presented as being the more experienced angel. She says she has like 500 years of experience, but suddenly when she's put in competition with a man, she's like ditzing out. It felt weird.
00:23:21
Speaker
Like they were purposefully trying to handicap her so that Michael could have a chance. So that the man could be like better at a thing in their relationship. Yeah, but they overcompensated because she seemed like completely incapable. That's what I'm saying.
00:23:39
Speaker
Yeah, they overcompensated. yeah Like way too hard. Yeah. yeah that That's like... Also, yeah, I guess. Fuck it, I'll say it.
00:23:52
Speaker
The script feels lifeless like AI wrote it. It's weird about it.
00:23:58
Speaker
Like they were the producer, right? Oh yeah, Monica, the actor for Monica. She helped produce it. She wrote it also. She wrote it. ah Yeah, so. She's like, do you think she was like, oh, I seem too smart here. I'm going to myself. This makes me look more humble and it's just make her look like the biggest idiot on earth.
00:24:18
Speaker
do you think she just likes to play the idiot? don't know. um shame if you want Do you think she self-casted the guy because she has a crush on him? see Perhaps. Oh, the kissing scene went wrong. You have to kiss again. Oh, no. See, in this scene, there's going to be a guy who photographs us, so we have to kiss at the Christmas tree farm.
00:24:37
Speaker
Why is there kissing in every scene? Is there? I didn't realize that. Oh, no. When I prompted, I told them to have us kiss a lot. Yeah. I missed that.
00:24:54
Speaker
Why is there mistletoe on the camera lens? It's fine. Don't worry about it. You're exaggerating. There was no... Post-effect. They it mom. You didn't see what the behind the scenes of this film?
00:25:10
Speaker
No. Neither did we. Yeah.
00:25:16
Speaker
Yeah, again, there wasn't anything i liked, but... What did you dislike about the movie? I'll just give my number one thing.
00:25:24
Speaker
ah what to pick?
00:25:28
Speaker
I'm gonna pause for a sec. Okay, what's your number one, Ed? My number one dislike... Ruthie's shoving the poster in his face so he can remember. Yeah.
00:25:39
Speaker
We saw this like two weeks ago. he can't even... Thanksgiving weekend. Yeah. No peace. No quarter. No quarter. No peace, no quarter. um i think it would have to be...
00:26:01
Speaker
Someone opened the closet nearby to get some food from the pantry. Who is it? Who is it? We'll be our brother. you want to be in the episode, Jessie?
00:26:13
Speaker
Run. If you don't get out five seconds, we're going to keep this whole bit in. Leave, or we're keeping you with us talking to you in the episode. We'll start chasing you with the microphone. no
00:26:29
Speaker
You're not even pausing. We're not even pausing. So, what's the best? My number one dislike was, i think, the the whole, like...
00:26:41
Speaker
It was that the whole thing was just a ah ah ah ploy to get the angels together. That was that was the number one thing that I really disliked. There you go, Ed. You can now get an Ed snack for answering the question.
00:26:53
Speaker
Mom brought cookies. We baked cookies before the episode. The dialogue was also really hard to get through. And... ah Yeah, I just...
00:27:06
Speaker
was rough It was rough. that But yeah, it was the the whole thing that of the angels getting together and then just the dialogue was really bad.
00:27:18
Speaker
Really bad.
00:27:21
Speaker
I'm so chewing my cookie, goddammit. Ed, please. My biggest dislike, my biggest dislike, I think, that you haven't already said,
00:27:35
Speaker
I think the CGI being so bad, like just work with it. Either you don't have the budget and you have to show them, you know, renting a cloud to do exercise in.
00:27:47
Speaker
That looks really bad. Yeah, what kind of capitalist hellscape is heaven in, apparently, where they have to rent clouds they're down-sizing? I feel like it's just like, feel like it's, yeah, there's so many weird, okay, that's it. The world building in this movie is insane, and I know I'm expecting too much out of a Hallmark film. I know that. Mom's looking at me like, you don't say. wish this was an odd video podcast. No, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna second you on this. Because they're doing this thing where they're like trying to be like, oh, this is Christmas. We're not going say happy holidays. They're like full in on the Christmas, but they don't want to offend people that aren't religious.
00:28:22
Speaker
So they're like the universe. They do like kind of the woo woo spiritual, the universe, and they don't like go too much. in it And they mentioned they have a higher up, but they don't give them a name. Yeah. Oh, that's true. it's and That's not what I'm talking about. I'm just talking like, why do you need to downsize? It doesn't make any sense. Why do you guys have to like, like, is it, it it's there's it's heaven. It's another realm. What do you mean? There's more people than ever. Yeah. This is like an agnostic discount Christmas special of good omens, but there's no demons. Okay. One other question. One other question then. Okay. If it's Christmas, There's a lot of religions around the world, and a lot of parts of the world that don't really celebrate Christmas. What happens to them? Is there just no love for them around that time a year? just do they only hurt Is it only in America? ah No, they do other. In China?
00:29:13
Speaker
Oh, no. I'm saying in Hallmark, they do other holidays. No, no. I'm talking about in this movie's world. They're Christmas. These are specifically Christmas angels. They could have mentioned like, oh, we're going to get transferred to a completely different holiday, Hanukkah or Diwali.
00:29:29
Speaker
Yeah, but like, what about the other parts of world, like China, that don't really celebrate Christmas? I don't know if South China. They don't celebrate Christmas. That's like Lunar New Year. Yeah, do they have Lunar New Year? Chinese New Year. It's January. Yeah, Lunar New Year.
00:29:43
Speaker
Do they have Lunar New Year angels? Do they have like... Well, it wouldn't be angels. No, because they are Buddhists. But that's what I'm saying. But in this world, it makes... And they don't explain. They don't explain anything. Oh, you know, I was created... I'm only 90 years old. Do angels just have sex and have kids? No, they don't. No, they don't. Or the what?
00:30:06
Speaker
Born an an angel. and You have so many weird questions. You hint at weird stuff. And then you're just like, what does that mean? Don't worry about it. It's my least favorite thing. Here's a Christmas puppy.
00:30:18
Speaker
Explain what born an angel is. Yeah, but I didn't know that. Stillborn. but still But that's not a thing in like a lot of official texts. That doesn't have to be with the movie. You don't have to do, say that you're stillborn or those things. No, but like, I just, I didn't know this. I didn't know this stuff. So I don't know where angels come from in this case. If this is a fictional world, I just want a little bit more thought into because you're putting a lot more thought. Yeah. So like if we're comparing this to It's a Wonderful Life, there is, there are angels in the movie. They're reflected as stars. Okay, people can get that.
00:30:56
Speaker
uh what's his face clarence clarence clarence is a new angel he's a very young star and he doesn't have his wings yet how does he get his wings goes to wing stop sponsored by wing stop lamar no yeah but these remember that these movies are done for christmas so but that's a wonderful so it's a wonderful life But in in that movie, the plot explains- They explain every- okay. Yes, actually, they really do- Clarence young- he's a young angel, he's trying to save George's life, and he's trying to earn his wings every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. It's two minutes of explaining in that film.
Questioning Angelic Matchmaking
00:31:34
Speaker
Two minutes out of like an hour, a really well-paced hour and ten. And a Wonderful Life does kind of explain, just like, It does kind of imply Christianity. It doesn't try and do like an agnostic thing. Yeah, yeah. It's just not... But they gave some effort to world-building. They gave some effort, but then not enough. and i'm Oh, there you go. It's Wonderful Life. to do yes But like...
00:31:58
Speaker
For me, angels doesn't get married or anything. So for me, that was weird that they wanted to match them. They're the only angels who are matched. We don't see any other angel couples. It's going to be the worst. Thanks to the boss, it's going to be the most annoying workplace sexual harassment lawsuit in the history of angels because of this film. Because they're going making it out in front of each other and have to watch because all they do is work. You did remind me of one joke we had while we were watching. What was it? When they talked about downsizing and they were talking about going to Valentine's, all the Christmas angels freaked out. And turned to Ed and I'm like, they're afraid to go see those sluts at Valentine's Day. Yeah.
00:32:39
Speaker
But yeah, no, the world building is insane. I'm not trying to take more time. I'm just saying the world building is so black luster lackluster. And they add so many weird questions that my ADHD brain who that needs some dopamine is like, explain, please.
00:32:55
Speaker
i i they I didn't like the movie. period It doesn't make sense at all. Okay, what would you change? But I will change everything. Can you give us few examples? That's not what's going to make a fun podcast. For example, won't be matching angels because have never seen that.
00:33:15
Speaker
For me, it's weird. And if you want to do a match, just do one. But everything was so... ah They wanted to do more and more and more.
00:33:29
Speaker
And like getting nothing because the the principal, ah supposedly the main characters there were the young couple.
00:33:43
Speaker
And I think they they were not getting out as much as the angels that were then the main couple. No, I keep going. Sorry. Turned being by the main couple. I agree with you because part of me was just like,
00:34:00
Speaker
They want to put us of on this couple, but like we don't know anything about them. Yes. yeah All we know is that Michael and Monica are really invested in that they've done so much more, plus one research over the other person. Mm-hmm. That they're the perfect match, but we never get to hear why they're the perfect match. Yeah. you remember the name of the young couple? I don't remember.
00:34:20
Speaker
No. Because I think that they barely say that their names. Yeah. And I think I saw more the interactions between the that's another thing. There were more interaction between the grandparents during the movie than the young couples. They only interacted at the end. um It was a very forced interaction. No, no, no. Don't forget, they also interact in the guitar scene, in the music scene.
00:34:48
Speaker
and Yeah, but it didn't work. And the Christmas tree shopping for the room. Oh yeah. That's so weird. Well, that's the thing. They needed needed the young people to not interact as much. Like they needed the young couple to not interact as much so that they could be judgy about the two of them being on their phones too much.
00:35:03
Speaker
And then like, what's the weird, but have you, you, do you guys know about everyone on her phone? Like once. Once. It was mostly the guy. And he works in tech. He works in tech. Yeah, it makes sense because he was a technician. But but the thing is that we were supposed to see the biology.
00:35:21
Speaker
The thing was that he sequenced a genome. Oh, that's okay. So she was a tech. Yeah, she did like coding. Yeah. So I think that Every time they wanted to put together the young couple where they were just presenting, it was the angels as a couple interacting more than the young guys.
00:35:45
Speaker
Yeah. Like in the Christmas tree. And what was the other, the music? The dance. Even the dance was weird. Yeah, they were kicking warp reality and change reality, but it doesn't they don't use it nearly as well as they could have. It's, again... it It raises more questions than it answers. So I would change that. I think I would change that they will won't be a match and that they... we can We can see more... We can get more information about the young couple. Yeah.
00:36:18
Speaker
And maybe the grandparents can be together, but the focus will be on the two young, on just learning about the two young couple, guys, the girl and the boy.
00:36:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:36
Speaker
God, this was so weird. So here's the thing. I figured out my fix halfway through the movie.
Reframing the Plot: From Romance to Buddy Cop
00:36:44
Speaker
I disliked that they set it in like this corporate... they they The Christmas department is like a business.
00:36:51
Speaker
And it's like this super drab office setting. And it's kind of been done. If you've seen Good Omens... It's kind of been done. Yeah. um What I thought would be more entertaining, instead of it being like Good Omens and Good Fortunes...
00:37:09
Speaker
um I want to make it more like RIPD and... RIPD is like men in black but they're dead and they're trying to fight go evil ghosts. so yeah So the idea is... It's fine. We did an episode on it. We did an episode.
00:37:27
Speaker
Oh, what? Not the first time this has happened. if so So, um, all angels have to work as buddies and I'm going to play it like a buddy cop movie. They're not romantically involved.
00:37:43
Speaker
They are partners who have just been assigned together for this case. Is she three days from retirement? yes yeah She's one Christmas away from angel retirement. Okay, so mom's confused. In every buddy cop movie, right, it starts off with one being like, I'm three days from retirement, I'm too old for this shit. And because they're excited for retirement, they die like a day before they solve the case and a day before retirement. So you don't get to enjoy if the person's gonna it's always their X amount of days from retirement or it's their first day on the job.
00:38:14
Speaker
Okay. Okay. My favorite ah version of this was Seven. Yes. That was a fun one. Anywho, so yeah, the boss puts them together and both of them without the couple, like, again, I'm not changing the casting, but both of them act like, for example, the pair in Seven. Mm-hmm.
00:38:40
Speaker
They're both playing the straight man in this one. They're both just like, back in my day, we did it this way. Whippersnapper pulls out we Love Gun. Does not explain.
00:38:52
Speaker
i would If this movie had a gun, I'd forgive it for everything. Like a Love Gun. It does sprinkles on your hot chocolate. Which we're not allowed to drink. Stars we're gonna make. That would make more sense that they start coming from anything.
00:39:10
Speaker
But yeah, um playing playing with the absurdity of Angel Buddy Cop. I feel like that would make the movie better. Take out those the phone nonsense. Do you know the easiest way to take out the phone nonsense while still having giving him an opportunity? If you want that lesson.
00:39:29
Speaker
They re use their reality warren powers. Oh, to just, like, uh, to destroy the power... bungles They use their halos to break, like, slice through the power grid completely.
00:39:41
Speaker
and there we go. There's no real cell towers for a few... a week. You have a week. Wow, a week would be hard. Well, they had three days in the movie. Yeah.
00:39:53
Speaker
And like that scene in Rush Hour, at one point Monica and Michael start singing Happy Christmas. And that's how they bond. Oh, yeah. Instead of war, what is it good for? Christmas, what is it good for? don't remember that. In Rush Hour, yeah. Rush Hour.
00:40:11
Speaker
yeah Have you seen Rush Hour? Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker? No. Oh, it's so good. although The reason that the two cops in that one bond is because they both like this one song and they sing the chorus together a couple times. That is all it takes for guys to be friends, though. Let us be... It's completely real. That's all it takes.
00:40:32
Speaker
I have made friends with Les. But yeah, like ah like Monica, when she's introduced to Michael, she's like chewing on a candy cane. Or she's like holding off from chewing on a candy cane. I'm trying to quit this stuff. i'm tre Yeah, I'm trying to quit this stuff.
00:40:47
Speaker
i I picked the wrong today to stop chewing on candy canes. Or just smelling the hot chocolate, but she's not allowed. Like it's booze, but she's not allowed to drink anymore. She sniffs the pine tree needles to get it high. Literally me.
00:41:04
Speaker
But yeah, that's that's my fix. Ruthie, you told me you quit. Ruthie. I have the pines all okay. Well, that's a different kind of hospital treatment. Fuck. That shit's bad. You're getting cancer fast.
00:41:18
Speaker
ah Speed wrong. Oh, okay. oh that He doesn't remember shit. no the I don't know i don't i don't want have a fix.
00:41:32
Speaker
I couldn't think of anything. I would have to rewrite the whole movie. Yeah. Literally. What would he do? The thing I mentioned when I was watching it was like, I guess it would be kind of funny if they were assigned to get the young couple together, but they accidentally get the older couple together, but that was the real assignment. Oh, that'd be clever. Yeah. I actually like that. like that. Yeah.
00:41:57
Speaker
Because honestly, that's what it looked like yeah for a lot of the movie. That it was actually the old couple that they were getting together. And then it just... At the end, it just the three of them.
00:42:10
Speaker
Like, honestly... Yeah, and I would i would love the buddy cop thing. No romance between the angels. And it would be... I would maybe it may make it like Rush Hour. Where they're trying really... ah Or...
00:42:23
Speaker
Where trying really hard to get the young couple together, but they always mess it up, and it always turns out that... It brings the older couple together. Yeah, it brings the older couple together more every single time that they try. It's like, oh, those whippersnappers on their phones, right? No, no. And then it just cuts them making out. I would remove the boober talk about young people being on their phones, or millennials being on their phones.
00:42:47
Speaker
would remove the boober talk of that, 100%. I mean, now millennials are joining in on it. They're just shitting on the Gen Z's. And the AI shit more. why Millennials are shitting on Gen Z janealpha no and Gen Alpha.
Generational Technology Critiques & Network Movie Quality Discussion
00:43:02
Speaker
Again, Gen Z is in their 20s. I'm 27. Yeah, I know.
00:43:07
Speaker
So it's more millennials shitting on Gen Alpha. No, not Gen Z. Gen Z2. No, no, no, They are actively shitting Gen Alpha. So Jesse and you are Gen Z. And you are?
00:43:19
Speaker
barely millennial. I'm the cutoff. You are millennial. I was right. 98? I'm not saying... I'm 98. 96? We're cutting all this out. 95. 95. You were there for my 30th birthday party this year, asshole!
00:43:35
Speaker
Yeah, 96 is the cutoff. Rough, it's 96 to 98. Okay. Okay. okay I have two fixes in mind.
00:43:46
Speaker
One of them I'm going to go into more... It's been on the entire time. Oh, I said you would stop it. No, no. One of them is... ah We were making Tim... How do we get started talking about Tim Robinson jokes? Because for one, it wasn't me.
00:44:01
Speaker
No, I started it... I was like, we should watch Friendship. No, it was... Yeah, I made a joke like, I'd rather watch Friendship. But then it was like, we should switch Michael with Tim Robinson because then he would be funny. Yep, and then I was like, you know what would be funnier? Because this dude's the hotshot who's risen up the ranks, but he's good at his job. He breaks all the rules like a maverick. But what I thought funnier and would make this movie immensely and more entertaining for me personally is what if it's Tim Robinson...
00:44:33
Speaker
And he's just a fucking idiot who keeps doing good by accident. Like, he keeps failing. He keep he should fail. He's failing. He should fail. Like, what's the let me think of a quick example here. Like, with one couple, they're allergic to cats. And while the guy's dying, she's like, oh, ah i can I can save you. And then, like, see like seat the EpiPen or whatever, right?
00:44:55
Speaker
but like But as she saves this dude, this is like a previous example of how showing how good he is when he's not. Like, he did it on purpose, yeah. And then he's... And, like, I don't know. like Just stuff like that keeps working.
00:45:10
Speaker
And then... she owes a guy spills piping hot cocoa on a girl and they end up together. And it was because Tim Robinson, like, tripped him. Yeah, by accident. He's like, oh, want the cocoa! And he smacks off the dude by accident. he's like, oh, we're not supposed to... Or no, he trips him.
00:45:25
Speaker
He's accidentally set on the trip, so yeah. And then he just complains to Gabriel and is like, I didn't do anything! I didn't it! didn't fucking shit! I didn't do shit! I'm gonna go on the s si line! And then he just leaves. Just keep throwing references in there. He does in all his other shows. Um...
00:45:46
Speaker
what But yeah, that was my one idea. you said you're two. i That was my one normal idea. My other idea was you keep thinking, oh, you're watching Sweetest Christmas again.
00:45:57
Speaker
But no, it's the two angels having to work together. And it's a meta commentary on these angels working together throughout different... Building Hallmark. Building Hallmark, yeah. Yeah. And it's like all these different films that they're in and they keep doing the job accidentally and they just keep fighting until they just actually fall in love. So like revisiting all the greatest Hallmark? Yes, yes, yes. Do the Hallmark Cinematic Universe. Just confirm the HCU like we all want.
00:46:22
Speaker
All right? But the good ones. their my lord If we've watched it, you probably shouldn't put it on the list. Let's be real. Yes. The cat one. Well, the cat one's easy. The cat one's funny. Is that what Chris was like? Yeah, Brandon and Ruth. Yeah, it's Chris's. But it's funny because then you're like, you just see Brandon Ruth oozy charisma. Like, we don't have to do anything and they just leave.
00:46:44
Speaker
this one This one writes itself, baby! And it leaves. Because I actually, like I mentioned every year, i do like that one. You said it was but Brandon and Ruth's voice? No, he just his chemistry. The man can have a charisma with a brick wall. like Which one is that?
00:46:59
Speaker
The one of the cats? The two kittens? The firefighter? The firefighter. Can I get please? Please, please. It's like, okay, here's our guy. And he talks with a really high-pitched voice. They're like, oh, no, no, no, no. Drop.
00:47:13
Speaker
And it drops into his normal voice. like And they're like, yeah. He's got it. He's got Like, he's sexy except for the voice. And they're like, just lower it. Yeah.
00:47:27
Speaker
What happened? I went through puberty? Why do my pants feel different? guess the balls dropped. don't know. I'm sorry. You could have just said, like, oh my throat unblocked. It's a miracle. The doctor said it never happened again.
00:47:41
Speaker
Um, yeah, I don't know what else I'd fix outside of that. I do like the idea of this idiot failing upwards. And then she's like, I don't like you. I feel like you're an idiot. He's like, I know I am! But no one else believes him. You need to help me. I don't want to do this anymore!
00:47:58
Speaker
want to be the singing angel! want to go to Valentine's! I want go to Valentine's! They get arrows and shit, and that's cool as fuck! Like, just stuff like that. Um...
00:48:08
Speaker
ah
00:48:11
Speaker
Oh, man. Is there anything else we want to add? don't know. I think you can tell this is one of the worst movies I've ever watched because this might be our shortest episode. For Christmas. Yeah. Forever.
00:48:26
Speaker
they we've had shorter we've had we had we have close to 30 our shortest is like close to 30 yeah yeah or like 40 minutes yeah we're already past that but anyway there's gonna be some even then even then it's this is not gonna be the shortest oh my god movies are getting rougher every year i don't know if it's like we're hating christmas more and more no genuinely i think a lot of this a lot of the reason that we didn't like this was because it was prompted with ai well but Well, we think that. We don't know for sure. It comes off like it was written. with If you want to cut this, you can cut it. But the movies on the other channel, the Great American Family Channel, they are...
00:49:05
Speaker
course. I believe it. I believe it. There is a level of bad where we won't do it. Ruthie and I have watched some movies to see if they'd be good for the podcast, and they're so bad that it's like we don't want to revisit it. And Sharks of the Corn didn't make that cut?
00:49:19
Speaker
No, because it was fun. It was a fun episode at least. But there's nothing to... It's either... If it's bad enough... Okay, so a little behind the scenes. If it's bad enough, sometimes we'll be like, there's still something to fun to work with. There's...
00:49:31
Speaker
There's bad, and then there's so bad it's good. Sometimes it's so bad. it goes beyond bad, beyond so bad it's good, and then it's just again. Yeah, that's Madame Webb.
00:49:44
Speaker
Yeah, but like... Madame Webb's funny. Madame Webb crosses that threshold. no I will die on this hill. Not as much. We've argued about this every episode. Please. It's more entertaining than Craven.
00:49:59
Speaker
But even the filming doesn't look HD. Oh, yeah, for this movie? Yeah. it was No, but but for the movies on the other channel. Oh, they don't look HD. Damn. They're still on 720p. I don't know.
00:50:14
Speaker
We're in 480 and Adrian, baby. You know, the, how do you say, the the sceneries and and the houses, they they look weird. yeah you You got the red camera, right? Yeah, it's a red casing on it. No! So, yeah. Yeah, it's tough because some of them... You can shit on it. It's fine. We're not going to watch a movie from them. Some of them are okay. No, we're not.
00:50:43
Speaker
But then when you look at the filming, it's not... Because they don't know what they're doing. it's I don't know. i don't From what i look for more I know about how that company got started, or those movies got started, they don't know what they're doing. They're just throwing tantrums the entire time. Anyway, I can explain that after.
00:51:04
Speaker
Anything you guys have been... would you rate this movie? I think it's an F. of F. F-. F-. F-. F- F-. F- F- F-
00:51:14
Speaker
just yeah enough pretty bad
00:51:24
Speaker
Oh, okay. So, what are we... So, Mom, has there been anything you've been watching, reading? Anything you'd like to share with the class? Anything you but you think people might like to watch or read?
00:51:36
Speaker
worthy and There's some movies from Hallmark, since we are talking Hallmark. Okay, what is the best Hallmark movie this year? This year, I like one...
00:51:49
Speaker
like one ah I don't remember is Ted. He's is funny, silly, but he's so silly that it's funny to see him.
00:52:00
Speaker
The name is Ted. He lives in Portland. The actor. moved to Portland. Mom's going go hunting for him. She'll be stalking him just like, i see the hunt. you Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper. I like that one. Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper. Okay. Yeah, he's he lives in in downtown Portland.
00:52:25
Speaker
And then, ah which was the other one?
00:52:32
Speaker
I put some that I, this one I like it because of the boy, tidings for the season. Any movie that usually have kids on it acting, they are cute. I like it. Mm-hmm.
00:52:45
Speaker
So those are the ones that I can tell you from this year so far. You see, Ed, it's genetic. Because in our episodes, I'm usually the one who's most lenient. Me and are the ones who are most lenient with kid actors. Like, they did fine. They're kids. And Ed sometimes is 50-50 on it.
00:53:03
Speaker
But, yeah, it's genetic. know them are not very good. They're kids. Yes, I know. They're children. one but still like But they add cuteness to the movies and and funny. They are funny. So it's I think movies with kids are refreshing. so I am going to change your mind. I'm going to find a movie that changed your mind so hard. You're going to join us in being so cynical. I'm going to find the worst kid movie. And you're going be like, a Hector, Ed, I understand you now. Okay. i think
00:53:36
Speaker
You have something you want to say? No. Never Are you trying to recommend one? A bad kids movie? I was going recommend something different. That involves kids, but no.
00:53:47
Speaker
It involves children in the movie, yeah. We actually just saw movie with a child that she did really good. Oh, you're talking about the one that you saw with Ed, not me. She did really good. for She had a tough role.
00:54:01
Speaker
The one we saw Monday. Oh, right. yes Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And I saw the new feel the the Kill Bill Whole Bloody Affair, and I forgot how good the actress for the kid in that was also.
00:54:18
Speaker
She did a very good job. do you want Do you want to talk about the other one? The one we saw Monday? or like No other choice. Who wants to talk about it? Huh? I'm fine either way. I'm just asking who wants to talk about it. No other choice? Yeah, who wants to? You or me?
00:54:32
Speaker
You can talk about it. All right. is there anything so ill I'll add one thing. Of every movie I've seen this year, No Other Choice is the only one i gave 5 out of 5 on Letterboxd.
00:54:46
Speaker
Yeah. Do you want to go, Hun? You always go last. Okay. I saw... Park Chan-wook. You might be familiar from either Decision to Leave, Old Boy... What was the other ones?
00:55:00
Speaker
Miss Vengeance. Sympathy for... Mr. Vengeance. the The guy makes – he's a Korean actor, ah director who makes and writer who makes really interesting films. Every time you watch a film, even if you don't like it, you won't say that wasn't unique. You can't say that wasn't unique. The man throws it out of the park every time.
00:55:23
Speaker
And his name is Park Chan-wook. That was an accident. Well, I wish I was that clever. But no, this he made this movie about, I'll be, how do we move it? It's about a man who loses his job after 25 years. And then he takes some very drastic length decisions to get a new one. to get a new one And he keeps repeating to himself that there's no other choice as the only way to do that. It's a job a very good film. Also, I didn't know he had that comedic dog he had that comedic dog in him, dude. funniest movie the year. The funniest movie of the year. And it sticks every every time I'm starting to get like a little like, I'm like, this movie's slowing down. i don't know if it's like he was setting up a Rube Goldberg machine of Chekhov's gun and it works out perfectly. And you're like, you just see it right before the final beat. like, goddammit, that was so good. Of course. But he's such a good job of like
00:56:20
Speaker
setting something up and the payoff happening later. he He's the king of it. It's like the setup takes like 10 minutes and then you wait for like 45 minutes and the payoff comes up like way later. And it works every time. He does this multiple times throughout the film so you don't get bored. And the thing is like the the payoff at the end Comes because of the setup that he did at the very beginning. Yes. and it's the first With the first you know situation. yeah no noone jar It's so good. It's so good. I'm not gonna recommend anything else, I think.
00:56:53
Speaker
did Just this one. it this is my deep This is probably my number one of the year, too. It is so good. It is probably going to be my favorite of the year. We'll see once Oscar nominations come out. And I'll probably go through the Golden Globe nominations as well.
00:57:10
Speaker
It's not going to get any attention, I think. It's not going to any attention, I think. sister toli race Yeah, it's going to get any attention. It was nominated for Golden Globe. It was? Yeah. Oh, shit. For best best comedy slash
00:57:25
Speaker
comedy something. It deserves it. Alright. um I talked about it earlier in this episode, but I really enjoyed Good Fortunes. It's a movie I saw recently. Um...
00:57:38
Speaker
What movie did you and i watch? A Christmas Story? Well, not Christmas Story, but there was another one watched before that. That was like near the both of us. Let me look through my letterbox for a second, y'all.
00:57:49
Speaker
Can recommend one real quick? While I'm finding it, yeah, sure.
00:57:54
Speaker
Manga slash anime, Gachi Akuta. It's like a shonen, kind of, but like... It's like the only shonen I really like. I don't know why i like it so much, but I do. Gachi Akuta, again, very good.
00:58:08
Speaker
Manga is, again, ten times better than the anime. Okay, we did find it. It's a another Korean director. it's This was his American film, though. This was his American film, Snowpiercer. We saw it for the first time recently. That's right. It was so good. You mentioned Snowpiercer. It's got Chris Evans.
00:58:29
Speaker
Bro.
00:58:31
Speaker
So. Cone of shame for Ed. Cone of shame. We're giving him more Bingus's cone of shame. That would suffocate me. Exactly. So. So. Funny story before I get into the movie itself.
00:58:44
Speaker
I was aware of the premise of Snowpiercer, not because I saw the trailer. I had no idea what it was about. I wasn't interested in it. so i pay for it it's still it's totally good so I tried to move away. You need to stop that. I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling my stomach. Keep going.
00:59:07
Speaker
I'm repeat. I was not familiar with the concept of the movie until I jumped on a subreddit for a game that I played called Frostpunk. So Frostpunk is a Victorian, it's like an alternate Victorian ah scenario where the sun died and people are freezing.
00:59:25
Speaker
And there is a DLC where they mentioned this French perpetual motion train. And somebody mentioned that it's like Snowpiercer. So as I was watching this movie about a train that encircles a frozen earth, all I could think was Frost Pong.
00:59:40
Speaker
But the movie's actually really good. It does have Chris Evans. It has John Hurt, which is great. Again, he's a famous, he was knighted for a reason. i don't think it was for this movie, but yeah, he's just a really good actor.
00:59:53
Speaker
And the twist is, Oh, I did like tear up when Chris Evans was giving big speech. Yeah, he was given his big monologue. It was really good. I also teared up little. Also, one other thing I like that another actor really like that Rooster didn't mention is the dad from Parasite is is the career one who's receiving who's on the receiving end of Chris Evans speech. Yes, and he – dude, he have much to work with.
01:00:20
Speaker
It felt like a – not a glorified cameo, but like ah like you're my friend. I'm going to put you in this film. It felt like um the guy who plays Abraham in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy, how he keeps appearing in Toro's Hellboy. Yes, yes, yes. He just keeps putting him in this film. yeah I just think he's mean. Yeah, it is. I think it's like, yeah, because he's helped him. He was right he wasn't he was the lead and in Memories of Murder. That was his first big film, so that makes sense.
01:00:46
