Oh sure we'll do The Mummy 2. Why not? I mean they're they're making a fourth one now so we got stuff. I know! But can we skip over the third one and The Scorpion King? Well no we definitely can skip over The Scorpion King. It might be fun to watch the third one though. I mean like yeah you know watching a bad movie is sometimes good for a podcast.

Speaker
The main one being we went and visited past and maybe future guest Madison Smith and Nick up in New Hampshire again. And never guessed Nick. And never guessed Nick. Not never guessed because we don't want him. Never guessed because he refuses. um yeah Too cool.
00:03:32

Too cool for school. and But we went up and because they live in even more of the woods in New Hampshire, ah there are large pockets where you lose phone signal.
00:03:45

Music and Christmas Reminiscence
00:03:47
Speaker
don't have music. And so I was like, okay, Charlie, well, I'm going put some music on, but I only have two playlists downloaded on my phone. Well, you could turn on the radio. Does your car have a CD player even? mean, most don't know. doesn't. Mine does, but my car is old.
00:04:07
Speaker
Old. My last one did, and I loved it. I mean, I don't have any CDs in ah for a while. The only CD in my car was the chorus line soundtrack, which I love that.
00:04:21
Speaker
I love that. Cause it was just in there. yeah And cause I, I found it, I saw it. God, it was like at, it was some, it was like at a thrift store for something. And it was like a dollar. And I was like, yeah, I'll take the CD chorus line soundtrack. And that can be in the CD player in my car.
00:04:36
Speaker
yeah point i At some point I took it out. And so, yeah, my car is a CD player, but I don't have any CDs to play. Oh, see, I, my last car, I had a CD player and I embraced that. I went to my parents' house and I dug out all my old CDs that I didn't throw away. And, um, you know, there was a nice little array of variations there. There was, um, uh, definitely, Sondheim on Sondheim. Yeah.
00:05:03
Speaker
uh there was um some mixed cds of various emo bands one of them being the local band that i was friends with um wait wait wait faded faded oh fuck nope it's shifted fate shifted fate okay i was close the phonemes were the same The phone names are the same. Shifted Fate. And um oh my God, what was the side project? Because there was a side project. Of course there's a side project. Juliet Nervosa.
00:05:40
Speaker
Cool. Yeah. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. ah And so I had those CDs that I would listen to when I got sentimental. And then, of course, you know, Evanescence Live. and Sure. my various um musical theater mix CDs, one called Hardy Har Har, which is just musical comedy songs.
00:06:03
Speaker
um Mostly just Monty Python. And yeah. Yeah. so i i had a nice wide array did you come up with elaborate names uh for your mix cds or was it just like you know emma's summer mix number four no no i would i the name was was the cd so hardy har ho appreciate i knew what hardy har har was yeah yeah that was comedy with like maybe a kelly clarkson song in there
00:06:37
Speaker
what is Why is Kelly Clarkson on Hardy Har Har? ah Because her song probably came out and was stuck in my head and I was making the CD at the time and I wanted it. So it's a time capsule. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:48
Speaker
i um I still make playlists with elaborate names. Every year I do a best of the year playlist. ah the The title has to be a lyric from one of the songs that encapsulates the feeling of not necessarily the music, but the year. you know Okay. Yeah, yeah, I put way too much effort into it. It's the now pretty much the only playlist I make because
Christmas Traditions Discussion
00:07:11
Speaker
I spend probably 30 to 40 hours working on it.
00:07:16
Speaker
oh wow. Wow. Yeah, and then I send it to like three friends. Can you send me it? You've never sent me it? I've never sent you one before? Okay. What was last year's called?
00:07:27
Speaker
Last year's was called Say Goodbye to America. Yep. Yeah, that that feels that feels on track. yeah yeah get about um I love that.
00:07:38
Speaker
I also like to name my playlists um just because it's like it's the iPod generation in me. That's just sort of like I need a good playlist with a good name. I can't just call it I don't even call my workout mix my workout mix. I call it burn some, or is it pump some iron or burn some cows or something like that? i don't know. Something stupid. Uh, but yeah.
00:08:05
Speaker
Um, if so we were in New Hampshire. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah. And we lost signal. And I was like, well, Charlie, there's only two playlists on my phone.
00:08:16
Speaker
ah We can either they listen to burn some iron or pump some iron or whatever I call it. might work i hope I hope it's pump some cows and burn some iron. That would be better. i Pump some cows. If it's not, I'm going to re-aim at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pump some cows, burn some iron. um Or we can listen to, um currently I am back on the Christmas choo-choo.
00:08:37
Speaker
Oh, right. Sure, yeah. Christmas tree. Christmas tree. And I have to have my show playlist downloaded onto my phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, or we can listen to my show playlist.
00:08:50
Speaker
We chose the latter. And so we listened to Christmas songs, lots of fun Christmas songs. um And then we went to the spirit and it got us into the spirit. And we went to this really cool. I sent you pictures of the really insane Christmas store that we went to. um Yeah, it's like a little village inside.
00:09:10
Speaker
this building with like lots of little rooms that are like stocked of Christmas things. I will also say Madison, I love Madison so very much.
00:09:21
Speaker
And I hope she's cool with me sharing this. Well, yeah, she'd still be cool with me sharing this story. Um, we went and so, uh, upboard they live in New Hampshire there's lots of tourists around especially in the holiday season because it it snows and it looks magical and it's fabulous um and so there was a some like children with their parents who were tourists very clearly tourists and the 16 year old girl knocked over a plate and broke it and she was with her little brother and
00:09:57
Speaker
he or he like They both broke a plate is the end game. And the dad came over to like try and fix it, but the mom came over and said, just walk away. Just walk away. Just walk away. um And Madison witnessed all of this, and um the...
00:10:15
Speaker
good good do-gooder in her was like oh well i and yeah i need to tell the front desk what happened so she went up when charlie was checking out he was buying an ornament and so she told the cashier she was like by the way witnessed a family break a plate in one of the back rooms and you think just leave it there I went to someone break a plate if you need to go like clean that up just like as a heads up. I'm so sorry that that happened. um But she saw the family out of the corner of her eye and she went it was them.
00:10:50
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:10:55
Speaker
Madison I didn't know you were a snitch.
00:11:01
Speaker
She just thought that they didn't have enough respect for the Christmas spirit.
00:11:06
Speaker
Because the mom looked at her and went, we're going to go tell the front desk because they saw her witness it. And so they tried to play it off like they were going to go. Okay. like They were going to say something, but they didn't say anything. And so Madison totally told the front desk that she was like, it was those guys right over there.
00:11:21
Speaker
Oh my God. Wow. Wow. Okay. It was hilarious. um Nothing was done, of course, because I'm sure it happens all the time. Yeah, sure.
00:11:33
Speaker
But it was a very funny thing to witness.
00:11:38
Speaker
It was them. It was them. All right. Wow. Yeah. Good to know. It was that family. So watch your back. Yeah. didn't know we were friends with a cop.
00:11:51
Speaker
Only around Christmas. Only around Christmas. A Christmas cop. Okay, fair enough. It's a Christmas cop. Anything that has to do with human rights, don't worry. You're fine. ah But if you break a Christmas play in a store and don't tell someone...
00:12:08
Speaker
you You are at Madison's mercy. Yeah, um I would never. i don't have ah the ability to to do that. if i if I don't know. I guess it's just the, um maybe it's the the being raised in Tennessee. if that If that happened to me, I would immediately have to tell somebody like, hi, I'm sorry I broke something. Can I give you money? Like, I don't know. I would do before anything else would occur to me, unfortunately.
00:12:34
Speaker
yeah yeah um i don't know what i would do because i constantly break things so it doesn't feel like um not in stores no but constantly charlie has to remind me emma you need to watch your body movements you are a bull in a china shop I constantly feel like that is that is just me um on the norm.
00:13:04
Speaker
Just ready to break some things over. throw your arms around a lot. i don't you know i don't i I've never noticed that about you. i haven't either. It's only when I'm around Charlie. Maybe it's just Charlie. Maybe Charlie is just projecting his insecurities onto me. Maybe just sensitive.
00:13:23
Speaker
maybe he is just sensitive to be fair though um if i am in the city or
Introduction to 'While You Were Sleeping'
00:13:29
Speaker
whenever we were in chicago a lot of times i would have my backpack with me and if i would like go into a shop i'd have my backpack and i'd like still oh yeah walk around um you know you'd be like watch your backpack i'm off like you gotta to be uh be aware of the extra um dimensions there um i love a christmas store i grew up in Tennessee and, uh, Pigeon Forge, which is a big tourist place in, um, uh, there, like where Dollywood is and stuff. They have something called, yeah but I believe it's just called the Christmas place, which is an absolutely massive, again, multiple buildings. Um, like they have one building that's just candles, and i think like, um, of Christmas stuff. And they have like the multiple rooms of the Christmas village and stuff. And,
00:14:12
Speaker
I told you when you texted me, but like, I've always, I know it's, it's like, it's my boomer trait. Like I would love to have like a little Christmas village to put out Christmas time. Right. With the, with the like angel hair, like that, the snow underneath. Like, it's so cute.
00:14:28
Speaker
It is really cute. ah My mom has like a whole setup and I did ask her because when we went, Madness had the same thing, right? Donna has like, ah she's got, I don't want what is, what is the best analogy? She's got the, ah oh my God, what was the name of that cul-de-sac in, in Hall of the Holly? and Evergreen Lane? Evergreen Lane, yeah.
00:14:53
Speaker
She has the evergreen lane of um tiny Christmas villages. ah Bringing it back. um And I asked her, I was like, so when I come home for Christmas, do you have any extra ones that like you don't want that you don't put out because you have too many and you don't want? She's like, but how are you going to get it back? I was like, put it in my suitcase. Yeah.
00:15:19
Speaker
I mean, yeah, I beat yeah you Just to wrap it up. you know Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I'll just take one little teeny tiny house at a time. Just carry it with you. Right? Just carry it like how people carry their pets through security. yeah um Yeah. Anyways.
00:15:37
Speaker
I mean, luckily we've stayed on topic 17 minutes then and we've been talking about Christmas. It is Christmas. I mean, it is, it is mid November burn now, but when this airs, it will be right in the heart of Christmas season. Yeah.
00:15:49
Speaker
And like uh, yeah, it snowed a week or so ago and I got kind of in the Christmas mood and I made the work, play I made the work playlist, uh, Christmas playlist. Everyone got mad at me.
00:16:00
Speaker
Jesus. and lighten up world right um ah but uh it's like 60 degrees this week and uh less so um for now but um but yeah by the time this airs i'll be i'll be ready like the thing is i love christmas um i love the um the the feeling of christmas as you know i'm deeply religious yeah as you know i'm deeply religious as we know from this podcast
00:16:31
Speaker
this is about the birth of our savior Jesus Christ Santa Claus definitely born on December 25th not in August year zero um no I don't um but I I do love the um the kind of contemporary um understanding around Christmas which is what you get in movies and stuff and I'm not talking about like the commercialization or anything but like the the Christmas Carol um kind of invented version of Christmas, which is a um a more secular holiday centered on um giving and charity and family and love.
00:17:15
Speaker
Yeah. And i am I love all that. And I love the little bite of of of cold in the air and the scarves and and the the smell of pine trees. Yeah. Yeah.
00:17:28
Speaker
and velvet and sparkles and all the things and candy canes and my whole world and gingerbread. ah My whole world is just surrounded by Christmas. um Starting from Sunday, last Sunday until I die.

00:19:23
Speaker
It's only because they make a reference to it in 30 Rock. Yeah. Okay. it sounds like It sounds like the accent that she does. um ah Yes. Anyways, that's right, guys. You guessed it. This is Go Get Your Ho Ho Ho's. This is the podcast where Emma and Katie are just
00:19:43
Speaker
two single ladies working at an L ticket booth because those used to be things. And ah we make we see a really hot guy and we watch him every day. And we just, we slowly fall in love with him from afar until one day on Christmas day, he gets pushed off the L tracks and somehow misses the third rail.
00:20:11
Speaker
That was a whole question. ah And so we've got to jump and save him and ah roll him off the tracks. And we save him.
00:20:23
Speaker
He is the guy that we've always like loved from afar. Yeah. And we go to the hospital and they're like, no one but family. So then we say that, well, a nurse overhears saying, oh, but I was going to marry him. And then we get pretend to be his fiance and we fall in love with his family. But then twist, there's an even hotter brother who's more our type.
00:20:49
Speaker
Oh, no. and um shenanigans ensue. That's right, guys. And Emma. And I'm Katie. And today, of course, we are talking about the classic 90s rom-com, While You Were Sleeping, with our best girl, our most featured on this podcast. Most featured on this podcast. Sandy Bullock. We've done so many Sandy Bullock movies. I don't really know why. It's not intentional.
00:21:18
Speaker
It's not. i mean, I'm slowly... i've always loved Sandy Bullock, but now even more so. I feel like i'm so I appreciate her genre. She's the best. appreciate her in rom-coms, and I love her.
00:21:33
Speaker
She's one of them. I've got like four texts from Charlie. I'm going to ignore them. Um... ah probably My guess is it's related to him over to him eavesdropping on our podcast yeah and texting me about you saying you don't knock things over. But neither can we bear. Probably. Probably. And funny, he hasn't said single thing for me.
00:21:55
Speaker
This is a two-person podcast. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. While You Were Sleeping came out in 1995. It released in April for some reason. weird Bad choice. Yeah.
00:22:07
Speaker
Directed by John Turtletaub. What? One of the best named directors in Hollywood. Directed by Tom Turtleneck. He is... Yeah.
00:22:19
Speaker
Yeah. He is an actual turtle. Oh! He's very famous. I'm surprised you haven't heard of him. I've never heard of him. He's the only turtle currently directing movies. Oh, wow. Good for him. He directed Cool Runnings.
00:22:34
Speaker
Hmm? He directed National Treasure. ah He directed this, obviously. He directed um a bunch of movies in the 90s. Most recently, he directed The Meg.
00:22:48
Speaker
yeah shark Jason Statham movie. Mm hmm. This movie is written by ah two men, Daniel G. Sullivan and Fred LeBeau. They wrote it together. It is their only screenplay. They wrote wrote nothing before or since.
00:23:07
Speaker
What do they do? how do they get money? this? don't know. Maybe they work insurance or something. don't know. That's true. Maybe they were like, this is our dream. This is our story. We need to get this out there. And now our work is done. And then they dissolved into snowflakes.
00:23:24
Speaker
Katie's fun fact corner. Ooh, Katie's fun fact. Katie's fun fact. Um, um, This movie was originally, very famously, this movie was originally written about, ah with a male protagonist, with about a woman in a coma. and everyone in Hollywood said, that's creepy. And they changed they changed the ah the sexes around. And everyone's like, oh yeah, that's that's fine. We're gonna rubber stamp that. That's great.
00:23:50
Speaker
Yeah. It does work so much better. If it was a woman, it would be too much of like a Sleeping Beauty allegory sort of situation. Yes, which it is already, but it's um it is less creepy. And based on just the premise, you might think it is creepy, but they do temper it in a bunch of different ways. Like yeah she never says that she's, she never tells them that she's his fiance. Somebody else tells them that. And then she has to like continue. We'll get there. We'll get there. Yeah, yeah, we'll get there. And also she like, they made him an asshole.
00:24:26
Speaker
He is a bit of an asshole. oh yeah They made him an asshole. It's what you gotta to do. You gotta do that. You gotta make him unlikable so that you like the other guy better.
00:24:38
Speaker
Yeah. The sales tactic. Not just because Bill Pullman is ah super sexy in this. Yeah. And um this is peak Bill Pullman, I shall say. This is Casper Bill Pullman. This is... that thing right and This is dad um haunted daddy um of our dreams, Bill Pullman. It's President of the United States in Independence Day, Bill Pullman. Yes. Like, peak Bill Pullman.
00:25:08
Speaker
He is, um yeah, so so Sandy is 30 when this movie, 31 when this movie came out, so probably 30 when they shot it. And Bill Pullman is 42. Oh, wow. Wow.
00:25:19
Speaker
oh wow He looks great. Yeah. He always, he always looked a lot younger than he was, I think. And, uh, and then suddenly he was old, you know what i mean? yeah Yeah. Suddenly just wha-bam!
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, oh God. Oh. All right. So we're back on this bullshit. So like I finally got new, uh, earbuds, um, because my old ones stopped charging and i been having use those giant headphones. But now we were run into the other problem, which is that I have a weirdly small ear and yeah earbuds.
00:25:52
Speaker
The left earbud falls out all the time. It's a whole thing. You got to get the little hooky things. My dad has the same problem. Oh, yeah that's what yeah. That's what I need. I need the 70-year-old hooky things for the ears. Yeah. Do that, Emma.
00:26:07
Speaker
My dad's pretty cool. Okay. Yeah. Actually, I wouldn't describe my dad as cool. I would describe my dad as tech savvy. Yeah. I've never met your dad, ah and but I can't help but just imagine Wallace Shawn when you talk about your dad every time. yeah Yep. Yep, yep, yep.
00:26:24
Speaker
Because I do. He is Wallace Shawn. He's a taller, more sailing Wallace Shawn. That's right. He's the Commodore. Right. He's the Commodore. something Something in a seaborne Wallace Shawn.
00:26:41
Speaker
Okay, Chicago. It's Chicago. It's the L. I love to tell you that from the opening shots. They love to tell you that it is Chicago. every like They spend a good three minutes showing us classic mid-90s Chicago.
00:26:58
Speaker
There's no Trump Tower on the skyline. it know is a simpler time. yeah um it's It's still... um ah Oh my God, what's it called? Not Lord and Taylor.
00:27:10
Speaker
um Marshall Fields. It's still Marshall Fields. It's still Marshall Fields. It's not Macy's. Yeah. It's Richard Daly's Chicago. Yeah.
00:27:22
Speaker
Which I, of course, wasn't here for any of this. I was, but I was in the suburbs. Yeah. Right, of course, yeah, yeah. So not really. i was just adjacent. You also didn't live in Chicago. Yeah, yeah I lived in the suburbs. I lived adjacent. um Yeah, we get some Chicago landmarks. We get the Lakeshore Drive. We get Sears Tower. We get Wolfie's, which is close to where I live. It's a hot dog place. Is Wolfie's still around?
00:27:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah, it's still there. I've never been, but it's still there. I've never been, because I was like, I don't think that's still there. It's definitely still there. Yeah, it's on Foster, yeah. um or maybe Lawrence it's on Foster I to live on Foster I don't know again I've never been there I'm a vegetarian but yes I do appreciate a landmark yeah um which also brings me to my next question which is um in Richard Daly's Chicago where we like New York and had hot dog carts
00:28:23
Speaker
Yeah, there, I don't think so. So here's the thing. Chicago- don't think so. Doesn't have street food in the way that New York does. And I was surprised actually, because I get and i lived in New York before I moved here. And I was really surprised at the the lack of street food. I was told once, and I don't know if this is true, that the reason there's no street vendors in Chicago is because of the mob.
00:28:47
Speaker
Oh, no, that's not why. Oh, then why? Or maybe it's partially why. um So this is one of Emma's fun facts. Emma's fun facts. I actually learned this when I moved to Chicago because I, too, was, like, upset by the lack of street food because in Houston, there's a huge, um like, um ah taco truck, like, food truck culture. Well, there's a lot of food trucks in Chicago. there There are that. There weren't for several years. And um so the lack of street food comes from there was some sort of like rule that was passed in the 1800s because of like the amount of manure that was happening.
00:29:26
Speaker
And so it was like a sanitary thing. um So they there wasn't any street allowed any street vendors because of that. And so they just never it never became a thing. Interesting. Okay. Yeah, because I imagine, you know, I mean, New York also would have been full of manure in the 19th century. Nah, they didn't care. so they But the thing about New York, they don't care.
00:29:47
Speaker
they don't care, baby. It's New York City. Remember, it's very funny. Eric Adams introduced garbage cans to New York a couple years ago because they didn't have them before. They just piled bags in the street, famously.
00:30:01
Speaker
And there's a video, it's a very funny video of him like demonstrating that the like you know, the big plastic like on with two wheels, like ah like garbage can thing that literally every city in America has had since the 1980s at least.
00:30:16
Speaker
Yes. And he's like, New York, we finally have these. Look at these, put your trash in them. It's very strange. um ah I think it had something to do with like sanitation workers union and all that kind of stuff about why New York didn't have them for so long, but it's, it's neither here nor there. Yeah. um ah But ah New York dirty. yeah that's Chicago, not as dirty, not nearly as dirty. um Chicago, pretty clean for a city of, of its size. Yeah.
00:30:50
Speaker
Well and there's also the thing about Chicago has alleys That's the big difference between Chicago and New York Chicago burned to the ground In the 1870s And Daniel Burnham did the Chicago plan Which I love to describe as much as I can When I drove for Lyft I used to tell the i used to talk to the my my ah writers about it If they wanted to talk Oh boy No it was cool and fun Was it? if Only if they wanted to hear about it. It was like tourists, you know, that kind of thing. I was good Lyft driver. You were.
00:31:24
Speaker
um Anyway, it's Christmas in Chicago. That's what we're getting. yeah ah ah Her dad is like a sexy George Clooney. It's like a so a young George Clooney is what I wrote.
00:31:37
Speaker
Yes, her dad is like a a sexy young George Clooney. Oh, yeah. And she starts out with like a flashback. And she's like, here's here I am with my dad. My memories. I don't know why they're this orange. Ha ha ha.
00:31:52
Speaker
Let's talk about my dad. there're Like a lot of movies, it has narration in the first minute and the last minute and nothing in between. Nothing in between. Nothing in between.
00:32:03
Speaker
We learned she was very close with her dad. um and And later we find out that he died, of course. We'll get there. yeah um And she talks about Peter Gallagher. um yeah mr Mr. Eyebrows himself. Peter Gallagher. Eyebrows. um This is the umpteenth Peter Gallagher.
00:32:21
Speaker
And lips, honestly. Let's not give short shrift to his lips. He he is um He's a customer. He's a a very rich ah customer ah who shows up at her L-stop. She works at the Wabash and Randolph.
00:32:40
Speaker
Ah, man, I was about to get to that. Oh, sorry. I was gonna say, if you were like me, the very first thing you did when you saw this movie was Google, where does Sandra Bullock work? And while you were sleeping.
00:32:53
Speaker
Not even that I pause when she was running to him on the train and you can see the sign. Yeah. It goes fairly fast, but if you pause it, you can see it. Yeah. yeah Um, ah she's at the Wabash and Randolph stop, which is right in the loop. Um, and, um, he, she sees him every day. He buys a token. He, he, you know, gives her the token and she opens the thing. And like ah subway tokens. Again, it's another bar of nostalgia thing because like I've never experienced a subway token.
00:33:23
Speaker
No, neither have When I, I think that Chicago got rid of them before New York. um I remember when I moved to New York, i I found one on the street once and I still have it.
00:33:35
Speaker
So I have an MTA, like New York subway token. I would like to have a Chicago one also. I think that would be fun. You'd probably find one. I could put it in a necklace. I could have like a necklace with a CTA token. Wouldn't that be cute? Yeah. That'd be really cute.
00:33:50
Speaker
anyway, um, I'm sure I could buy one on the internet for less than a dollar. Yeah. Um, uh, Chicago got rid of them. I looked it up in 1999. So they're, they're close to getting rid of them when this movie came out, honestly. Yeah.
00:34:04
Speaker
Um, and, uh, Yeah, so she works in the booth at the CTA, and that's how she meets him. and Yeah, which used to be a thing until they replaced them all with machines.
00:34:18
Speaker
Yeah, it's as as ah as we will all be replaced with machines one day. Yeah. um And it's really, really depressing. Yeah.
Plot and Family Dynamics
00:34:28
Speaker
I mean, there are still booth CTA people. um yeah there's There They just don't have as much to do, I think. Yeah. They don't, like, take a token and, like, yeah let you in. They're there for, like, um information and if you want to buy a pass with cash or something. Yeah, they have to have somebody in every yeah station, at least one person. But it's like, what a lonely job now. I mean, at least then, like, there was somebody right behind her, you know.
00:34:54
Speaker
right she had a best friend she had a whole culture like yeah there was like a whole like thing as you learn in the beginning of this movie she like she's close with her boss and um she her everybody she's the only one in the apparently cta system that uh has no family and boom right um cta system that has no family and so she is sort of pressured into working on christmas she doesn't want to work on christmas but she's got to work on christmas no family and being pressured to work on christmas uh she's just like me for real i am oh katie i'm trying to get out of it right now
00:35:42
Speaker
Are you, but do you see a stranger at your stebux that ah you are slowly falling in love with from afar? um I was going to say, you could be living while you were sleeping. if i Because now we just need to convince some um some like who some like young kids to go beat him up or push him into the road so you can save his life. And Then fall in love with his hot single brother. yeah we'll see if that works.
00:36:13
Speaker
Exactly. There we go it's it's a It's a foolproof plan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One thing that all rom-coms presuppose is that there are dateable 35-year-old attractive men everywhere you look. Yes, everywhere you look.
00:36:32
Speaker
And there's nothing wrong with them. There's nothing wrong with them. Um, yes. Um, she, it's Christmas time. She says $45 for a Christmas tree, which is, um, I mean, I feel like Christmas tree inflation hasn't gone up that much. I mean, like we, we we used to buy a Christmas tree and they're somewhere like we spent maybe $60 on a Christmas tree. I think we spent $60, um, on a Christmas tree.
00:37:01
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um So that's good to know that in 30 years, Christmas trees have not gone up that much. I will say that in 30 years, they have, ah at least during COVID, they will deliver the Christmas tree to you.
00:37:18
Speaker
Oh yeah. yeah Yeah. Um, we got our Christmas tree delivered one year. Uh, and it was great during COVID. Yeah. Yeah. Um, ah so she has, uh, she lives in Logan square. yeah she does and she has, uh, the, the landlord lives in the building and she has a relationship with him and his, and the first thing I wrote is damn, that's a good Chicago accent. Um, and they, mean, they shot this in Chicago, so I'm sure a lot of these people are Chicago actors. Um, Yeah. Because we were talking about what is a Chicago accent in an episode a while ago. And like, there it is.
00:37:52
Speaker
I can't quite do it. But it's like, oh gosh, they're loose. I don't know. That's way too Minnesotan. Yeah. It's hard. It's hard. It's somewhere in there. Because it's like it's like, they could be from New York, but they're not from New York.
00:38:11
Speaker
It's New York and Minnesota combined is what it is. Yeah, it's New York and Minnesota and like a little bit of Italian American. ah Sure. Which is in New York. Yeah.
00:38:22
Speaker
Yeah. Just a little bit of Italian American. Her name is Lucy Moderatz. which unfortunate i don't know what that that doesn't sound like a real that sounds like a made-up name that's ah but lucy's super common rom-com name every third girl in a rom-com is named lucy i'm pretty sure sandra bullock was lucy in another movie we watched probably it's a great name um sure um'm ah she's telling her boss she's not working on christmas omg she's just like me um
00:38:56
Speaker
She yeah so he um it's Christmas she's forced to work on Christmas Day he is taking the L on Christmas to go somewhere and yeah he's a workaholic right.
00:39:07
Speaker
That's yeah yeah he's a lawyer he's a lawyer yeah he's a lawyer yeah a lawyer yeah he um a lawyer. Yes, a lawyer. That's what I said.
00:39:18
Speaker
he gets pushed onto the tracks by some youths who are mugging him, but they don't get his wallet. So I guess yeah when he falls onto the tracks, they just run away. So I guess the intention was to get his wallet. Yeah. Yeah. But instead they just push him onto the tracks.
00:39:33
Speaker
I don't, well, I don't think they mean to push him onto the tracks, right? Like they're just trying to mug him and he falls onto the tracks. Yeah. Yeah. Because Chicago still has no safety barriers.
00:39:48
Speaker
Um, what do you mean? Uh, Chicago, like the L you could just, it's so easy to just go whoop onto the tracks.
00:39:59
Speaker
But that's how trains have to work. Like otherwise you couldn't get on the train. How would a safety barrier, they don't have safety barriers in New York either. They do. Well, they're starting to put them in, um, on the tube with like glass barriers to stop people from jumping on the tracks.
00:40:13
Speaker
So what it just, it, when the train gets there, they, they raise or lower or something. Yeah, so like the doors line up with the doors of the glass barriers and then they open.
00:40:25
Speaker
Oh. I find that dystopian for some reason. I don't know. I don't like that. um Let people throw themselves onto the tracks.
00:40:36
Speaker
You should have the choice to jump on subway tracks. That's called America. Change the course of the driver of the train's life forever. right you should have a choice to ruin several people's lives anyway he doesn't jump on the tracks but he falls onto the tracks and misses the third rail yeah the third rail is not brought into it i guess like the third rail is um i think it's protected on cta i think it's like covered and the thing goes underneath i'm not 100
00:41:11
Speaker
um But it, yeah, so we're not we're not we're not interested in the third rail. We're not worried about it. They eliminated it for this movie. ah Because I was just like, well, they I was just like, oh, well, she she's not stepping on the third rail because she like steps down onto the tracks to get to him and to like try and wake him up. And I was just like, okay, don't step on the third rail. um And ah then they roll the other way onto the other set of tracks. And i was like, well, obviously they'd all be dead now.
00:41:40
Speaker
yeah she um Yeah, obviously she can't pick him up. um ah and ah Which is my nightmare all the time of of getting trapped under something and not being able to get out because I have like zero but upper body strength whatsoever.
00:41:58
Speaker
ah no My spaghetti arms would not ah would not help me in any situation. Yeah.
00:42:06
Speaker
But your brain is is so solid. Your brain is so solid. So you could use your brain. I don't know if I would consider it called my brain solid. um She does a rolling maneuver and gets him out of the way of the train before it comes by. And she takes him to the hospital. Yeah.
00:42:23
Speaker
And as you described in the intro, um the ah the hospital security will not let her in because she's not family. And she kind of says to herself, but I was going to marry him. Because in her mind, she was.
00:42:38
Speaker
And nosy nurse overhears this. It starts telling everybody she's his fiancée. Yep. and Or rather, she says she's his fiancée. His fiancée.
00:42:53
Speaker
Um, ah and like, I say fiance. Yeah. I say fiance. What do you say? You say fiance. I say fiance. I think it's, it's a play on like, again, that sort of like urban like accent of like, cause I can see them doing it in a New York accent as well as a Chicago accent of like, uh, his, his fiance, his fiance, fiance. Yeah.
00:43:16
Speaker
Yeah, she says fiancé. Fiancé. And then, of course, later, somebody one of the fan the family says fiancé, which is the French pronunciation, obviously. yeah um So, but that's neither here nor there because she's not his fiancé or his fiancé. Yes, or his fiancé.
00:43:41
Speaker
Well, that's what we say. I know, but I'm just, I'm covering all the bases. Okay. Yeah. out of the So, um but then his family arrives. And so they let her back there to to see him. um And then the cop, the nurse tells the cop that not only is she ah his fiance, but she's, she saved his life. And then he's like, oh gosh, that's crazy. I got to go tell lot of guys about that. Gosh.
00:44:12
Speaker
I don't know I'll do my best. You're doing great. You're doing great. And then the family all thinks that she's his fiance. And we we have Peter Boyle, ah the great Jack Warden, um some some various people. And then, of course, Glynnis Johns, who is, i looked it up, didn't die until 2024. Yeah.
00:44:36
Speaker
What? Glynnis Johns died it outlived Peter Boyle, died in January of 2024. She was 100. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God.
00:44:50
Speaker
Glynnis Johns, very famously, ah the the mom from Mary Poppins and millions of other things, but she's got that that just wonderful little voice. um And she is grandma. Yes, and she's magical to look at.
00:45:05
Speaker
Yes, she is
00:45:09
Speaker
she is. She's playing older because in 1995, she was born in 1923, I guess. yeah She would have only been in in her, well, I guess 70s. But they make her ah very old and infirm in this movie, I guess.
00:45:23
Speaker
And they reiterate that, like, if Sandra Bullock tells the truth, then it's going to kill grandma because she's got a bad ticker. That is... That's what's happened. Yeah, she's had three heart attacks. And Saul, who I thought was her husband, but it it turns out is just a friend.
00:45:43
Speaker
Yep. And he's the next door neighbor and also Peter's godfather. um yeah He's Jack Warden. He's not Catholic. He's in tons of stuff. Well, he's Jewish, which is why she says, you know, I thought you had to be Catholic to be a godfather.
00:45:57
Speaker
um Which I don't think the Catholic Church would let a Jewish person be a godfather, but neither here nor there yeah um Oh yeah, because he does at the end sort of really drive it home while he goes, you're being a putz.
00:46:11
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Get it, I'm Jewish. it He's, so exactly, he's Saul. He's from 12 Angry Men. um He was in Being There, most famously. That's one of my favorite movies of all time. um The, um, so...
00:46:29
Speaker
They are, he, and he overhears her talking to Peter Gallagher in a coma. Oh, he's in a coma. We didn't mention that. Yeah, he's in a coma.
00:46:41
Speaker
Surprise. So Jack Gordon overhears her talking to him, and so he knows the whole time, and he's like, don't tell them. It'll kill Grandma. yeah, yeah.
00:46:51
Speaker
Just let him believe. And she's like, this is crazy. What are you talking about? And he's like, no, listen, it's a good rom-com premise. You should go with it. Yeah. Just go with it. Just go with it. And like, they'll be so happy when he wakes up. They're going to forget about you.
00:47:06
Speaker
this no way. Yeah. um ah Yeah. um And he, and he tells her like, and she doesn't have a family. Like her mom died when she was a kid. She was raised by her dad.
00:47:17
Speaker
um Her, and her dad died a year ago.
00:47:22
Speaker
Um, she lives in Logan Square. Specifically, she lives at 315 West Logan Boulevard. Jesus! How did you get that? 3015. Um, it's it's at the address, so you can see the the house numbers, yeah.
00:47:37
Speaker
But you know it's Logan Boulevard? Yeah, well, I looked up the shooting location and it says it's Logan. but Her apartment's on Logan Boulevard. Oh, okay. And it's still there. Oh, well, of course it is, yeah.
00:47:49
Speaker
And, um... This is, yeah, it's obviously shot in Chicago. This whole movie is one of those things where it's like, there's so many movies shot in Chicago, play take place in Chicago that aren't shot in Chicago. And when it's actually shot in Chicago, you can tell.
00:48:01
Speaker
you can always The way people are dressed, to the way it looks. mean, it was shot in Chicago in the winter. Yeah, yeah. And so it's just like fantastic. um And it's also a, like, anytime there's a movie that takes place in Chicago, that's shot in Chicago, or just plain just shot in Chicago. Chicago is a city of... um How do i word this without it saying it weird?
00:48:24
Speaker
I was going to say Chicago is chicago's a very proud city. um Yeah, you could say that. Yeah, Chicago is a very proud city. um It's filled with proud people.
00:48:36
Speaker
Yeah, because it's the best city in the world. what are you talking about? it's ah It's a pretty fantastic city. And so they love, they love, love, love, love to ah be like, this is where this movie was shot. This is where this movie was shot. This is where this movie was shot. I saw them shooting this movie over here. Versus in New York, they're just like, yeah, whatever. They're just shooting something down the street. It's annoying.
00:49:02
Speaker
That is one of the tenets of being a New Yorker is to be unfazed by anything happening around you, whether it is shooting a movie or shooting a child. um Nothing phases the New Yorker. Versus Chicago, it's like, what? Unless it's ah you're on the l and you just want to get home.
00:49:23
Speaker
I mean, that's just train culture. yeah That's just train culture. Yeah, so um we she it's it's the day after Christmas and they're like, listen, we missed Christmas because we all had to come to the hospital. We're having Christmas. Why don't you come to our place in the suburbs?
00:49:40
Speaker
And she's like, okay, I guess I'll do that. She talks to her boss. I wrote originally her boss seems to have an office on the LaSalle Street Bridge because that's where they keep meeting.
00:49:53
Speaker
ah Right? And I'm like, wait, what is her, is her boss the head of the CTA? he's He's like a supervisor at the CTA, but he has he's like sitting on the LaSalle Street Bridge eating a hot dog, doing paperwork. I'm like, this it's cold outside. Does he have an office he could be in?
00:50:10
Speaker
finally the end finally at the end they go to his they they're actually in his office but the first like three scenes with him is is her and him on the street in chicago at the hot dog cart where she's like i'll have the usual and the hot dog guy guy's like what is that which i love like you want you you want to have a usual you want to you want to just be recognized you know she's looking for family right yeah um but she doesn't like her hot dog chicago style Which is a strike in ah in on on her on her book for sure. like Yeah. um Because the first time she gets it, lady she's she off she orders it, the usual, and he gives her a Chicago-style hot dog, which has got a bunch of stuff on it. And you see her for the next five minutes, just picking all the stuff off.
00:50:57
Speaker
And then later on, she goes, just mustard, Sal. Yeah, just mustard is ah is a weird thing for a hot dog. um I love a Chicago dog. I get a veggie dog, obviously. a lot of places will have have ah have veggie dogs now. I would have been fucked in the 90s for sure.
00:51:14
Speaker
Yeah. um If you don't know what a Chicago dog is, um Chicago dog is um a hot dog. A hot dog. Mustard. Yeah.
00:51:26
Speaker
Chopped onions, a poppy seed bun, yeah um ah the most radioactive fake-looking relish you've ever seen. It needs to be bright green relish. So great.
00:51:38
Speaker
Two slices of tomato. yep A full pickle spear. Yeah, buddy. Sport peppers is what they're called. They're little tiny little peppers, hot peppers. Yeah. And it's the most important ingredient, celery salt on top.
00:51:54
Speaker
Yeah. I like it without the peppers and i don't think it needs the tomatoes. i So needs the tomatoes.
00:52:06
Speaker
but ah But yeah, love a Chicago dog. vgie Veggie dog. I don't eat regular hot dogs. Good for you. ah the um ah So pigs are under the the animals that you won't eat category. Yeah. Have you ever seen Babe?
00:52:22
Speaker
well Yeah, I've seen Babe. i won No, I know. i yeah Listen, you know what side I'm on. I know. I can't. After seeing I cannot in good conscience have seen and loved Babe and Babe 2 Pig in the City and then gone and eaten pork.
00:52:39
Speaker
I haven't seen either of those movies in probably 20 years. Should we do them on the podcast? I feel like we should we should totally we should do an animal an animal corner, like ah an animal month.
00:52:50
Speaker
Okay. We're going to have these months for every month of the year yeah eventually. i mean, people have a good theme. um Yeah. And i when I was younger, um my mom would serve lamb ah for dinner and i would i would knock I
Theme of Belonging at Christmas
00:53:04
Speaker
would not get lamb. I would not eat the lamb. um And to really drive my point home...
00:53:11
Speaker
While everybody else was eating lamb and I was eating my vegetarian or pescatarian alternative, I would bah at them. Hell yeah.
00:53:23
Speaker
I would go bah! Bah! That's what you're eating! Bah! What a delightful child. um yup Yep.
00:53:35
Speaker
So, yes, in the movie... yeah she goes to christmas She goes to Christmas at their house. Again, like just something that you that that that like I remember listening and talking about the Holiday ah episode, which was shot in Atlanta, but supposed to be take place in Chicago. That house that they're filming in, the interiors, it just you can tell it's a Chicago house. One thing, it has a vestibule.
00:54:02
Speaker
if a house Like, it's fucking cold in Chicago. Like, Chicago houses are gonna have a vestibule. um Yeah. You gotta cut off the cold. too Yeah. Yeah. um I will say i at first I questioned the suburb that they chose because at first the way that the the family is portrayed, you're assuming that they're going to live in Ritzier neighborhood. They're going to be, you know, in Evanston or Winnetka or, um you know, super money North Shore. choru
00:54:33
Speaker
Lake Forest. I mean, I didn't want to say them, but Lake Forest. Yeah. And ah so like, that's, ah what so I was like, I was looking it up. I was like, oh, did they film in Winnetka again?
00:54:47
Speaker
And did my parents just not say anything? um Even though they weren't living in Winnetka at that time. Famously, my parents lived in Winnetka when they shot Home Alone. Oh, my God. Humble brag. And my mom constantly loves to tell the story because they shot it in July and they made, it would be hot in July and you would look down the street and there's snow.
00:55:07
Speaker
um But, ah but yeah, so I was just like, where did they shoot it? And they shot it in LaGrange, which is a Southwest suburb of Chicago, which is not,
00:55:19
Speaker
Well, they're not rich. Yeah, I got that later. But the way they were portrayed at first. yeah Yeah. But the way they were acting when they all came in and the way that they were dressed.
00:55:32
Speaker
I was like, oh, they seem a little bit more ritzy. We're obviously in like Evanston or Winnetka. But then I'm just like, LaGrange. But then you get to the Christmas scene and it really sort of builds them as an actual family. And I got, I was like, oh, they're not rich. Yeah.
00:55:48
Speaker
ah i just make ice I think they do okay. They're probably maybe upper middle class. I mean, they they have like a nice house, but they have a bunch of kids. They also also have two sons in their 40s and a young yeah teenage daughter. So I'm not sure how that worked out, but whatever. You know, they well they're Catholic. They use the Catholic method.
00:56:13
Speaker
guess. Which is the pullout method. Yeah. Which is not effective. ah Well, yeah. But then what happened to all all the 25 years in between? I mean, listen, my my two sisters are 20 years older than me, but they're half sisters. So I don't know. Maybe maybe it is. Maybe it's ah maybe she has ah maybe they didn't know that because that's her mom. Anyway, doesn't matter. Yeah. I honestly think it's that they, you know, they had a little surprise from God.
00:56:43
Speaker
yeah of a So love also they have They show what people got each other for Christmas Which you very rarely see in Christmas movies Like they kind skip over it a lot I think it's really sweet because it Does a lot of characterization The girl is getting her ears pierced Which seems late But I guess Go with God It's the 90s I don't know if it's like I remember it being a bigger deal In in the ninety s yeah Like, my grandma never got her ears pierced.
00:57:16
Speaker
I mean, yeah, some people don't. my um I mean, my mom, I remember, would see, like, infants with their ears pierced. Not infants, but, like, toddlers with their ears pierced and be like, ugh, that's tacky. um But it's it's much more common. It's much more common now. yeah I mean, like...
00:57:34
Speaker
It's so way more smart. They don't feel it. They don't know that it's, you know, or like they won't remember it. And um their bodies will adjust to the metal in their ears a lot easier.
00:57:47
Speaker
That's true. That's true. um Yeah. Caitlin's ears never did. um Caitlin, I think she has a nickel allergy or something, but she has a lot of problems with that, with earrings. Yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:57:59
Speaker
I had a rough time when I first got mine pierced. but um But then my body just said, screw it. We love fashion.
00:58:10
Speaker
Yeah. Sometimes you choose fashion. um i've I've never had a problem with with my ears. um My nose was a little touch and go.
00:58:23
Speaker
boom Of course, I was, you know. 30 when I got my nose pierced. So that might make things different. But yeah, and then obviously it fell out and um I couldn't, I think I've talked about it on the podcast before, I couldn't get another one in there in time before it closed up, which was only like 48 hours max and it closed up completely. Jesus.
00:58:46
Speaker
I know, I want to get it pierced again, but it's such hassle. um Anyway, um so she yeah she because she's getting her ears pierced. That's her Christmas present. um They get Lucy a present and then gate they made her a stocking and she's just really feeling the like family warmth. like yeah And i I get that. like I do. It's just my mom. you know my so we've I've talked about this before. like My sisters, much older than me, don't really talk very much and like live far away. and like My extended family...
00:59:19
Speaker
Again, not not close with. I intentionally don't speak to a lot of ah people on my mom's side of the family because they're bad people. um You know, politically.
00:59:30
Speaker
Yep. and And my dad's family has always just kind of been like not really big family people. Like they have like their own families, but they like my dad has two brothers, which he was never that close with after they were adults at least. yeah And all those cousins and stuff, we just didn't see that often. So I, yeah, I don't have, um, I don't have like a, a big family or, or like a lot of Christmases with like a crowded house or anything. And, um, so yeah, I, I identify with, uh, with her in that way. Yeah. Um, and it's, uh, and it's sweet. And, um,
01:00:12
Speaker
we get the next morning in the suburbs, ah this shot of a paper boy, uh, riding his bicycle. They constantly are like just putting in shots of people falling on ice just to really drive home. The fact that it's slippery.
01:00:26
Speaker
It's Chicago, baby. Like that's, that's real. That's so real. ice, ice everywhere. and like, I just, yeah. Cause that's, yeah that's the first, that's the, I laughed out loud when that paper boy yeah the on the bicycle. Um, uh,
01:00:42
Speaker
It's good stuff. um Yeah. And so then the next morning, so so Jack doesn't show up for Christmas, first of all. I don't know what his deal is. But he gets there late that night, um and Lucy's already asleep on the couch, and his sister, who presumably has a name, the teenager, yeah um I don't know. TBD. Yeah, she tells him, um you know, that's that's Peter's fiance. And he goes, no, it's not.
01:01:09
Speaker
yeah peter already has a fiance yeah here's a fun fact peter already has which by the end you're like i'm sorry what yeah it's a whole thing it's a whole thing they went a little too far with the assholery ashley bacon is her name which is a girl i went to high school with was also named ashley bacon ashley bacon um who very listen, I normally wouldn't tell this story. But since we'll you'll find out. Ashley Bacon very famously made married um ah someone who was like 45 years older than her maybe no even older, maybe 50 years older than her. a A car magnate in in where I'm from in Tennessee. okay who lived in a castle that he built. Very arrogant, like, man. um I'm not going to say his name. I guess I said her name, so it doesn't matter. But here's the thing. Here's why it's okay to say her name, because they put their, they aired their their their wedding on television.
01:02:13
Speaker
What? They paid... For, you know, whatever, some public access station or whatever to air their wedding on local TV in the town where I grew up. Yeah. What? Again, this they are this like 60 year old man marrying like a 21 year old. Yeah. Gross. Gross. Yeah.
01:02:35
Speaker
Gross. um I don't. Yeah. He was at least that old. I don't know how old he was. Surely he's dead by now. um I don't know. i don't know. Who knows? But um yeah, he was. Anyway, what a thing. I don't know if they got divorced or what, but that was what happened. Yeah. um ah So that's Ashley Bacon.
01:02:53
Speaker
Ashley Bacon. Which we hear about at this point. We know that he was dating this woman and presumably they broke up. But some people think that they were engaged.
01:03:04
Speaker
Yeah. um ah She wakes up the next morning and she sees Bill Pullman, who's Jack the brother, sitting on the steps wearing a white sweater looking hot as hell. Remember the white sweater? Remember when we made that a thing? Yeah, it was a thing. We forgot about it. Would the white sweater of this movie is this white sweater?
01:03:23
Speaker
um ah i think it might be the white sweater of this movie is walking from Lake Point Tower to Logan Square in the freezing cold of Chicago.
01:03:35
Speaker
in like uh what 15 minutes it doesn't say how long it took but it okay it would have it's a long walk it's a walk long enough to fall in love with bill polman at least i mean that's like a three hour walk definitely definitely yeah Charlie and used to walk from when we worked in the loop, we would pick like maybe one day a month that we would walk home from our our offices to our apartments in Lakeview. And that would take an hour and a half, two hours.
01:04:11
Speaker
I want to say two hours maybe. um So that's from the Loop of Chicago to um like North Lakeview. Because you could just walk along the Lakefront Trail, which is really nice. lake sure Yeah, Lakeshore yeah lake shore trail um And... ah I mean, several times we did stop at the big um fake ship ah ah that's right there um on Fullerton. I want to know not full of, but yeah, I'm full of, and that's also a bar in the summer and we would get margaritas. So that would take an hour. ah But it took us like two hours.
01:04:56
Speaker
from So so we know exactly the addresses of these two places. So Lake Point Tower, which is where Peter's apartment is, to 3015 West Logan Boulevard is yeah two hours two hours and nine minutes walk. It's a 5.6 five point six mile ah walk.
01:05:14
Speaker
Oh, okay. That's shorter than I thought it was. That's pretty reasonable. Like, I could take a two hour walk with Bill Pullman from 1995 for sure. yeah Right? I mean, she's not wearing a coat that's big enough, so. Yeah.
01:05:27
Speaker
But Chicago, famously walkable. Great and walkable. was Dad's coat. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I mean, they gotta walk through Humboldt at, like, yeah what, and who like, you know, sometime in the middle of the night, so I guess, you know.
01:05:42
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know how that went for them, but you'll see. Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:48
Speaker
Um... Yeah, so they that hasn't happened yet, though.
Lucy and Jack's Chemistry
01:05:52
Speaker
She's just married. And so we find out like their family owns like a furniture company, estate furniture. So they buy furniture from dead people and sell it. ye Yep.
01:06:05
Speaker
That's their job. And Peter ah became a lawyer, so he isn't in the family business. And so Jack, who is the younger brother, I assume, um yeah even though he's older than Peter Gallagher,
01:06:20
Speaker
ah Jack has ah had to take over the family business and he doesn't want to but he's too afraid to tell his dad that. Yeah, he wants to build chairs. And you find this all out because the family has gifted Lucy and Peter Gallagher some furniture, and they're taking it to her his apartment. And um he um Bill Pullman opens the back of the truck, and he's ah the first thing Lucy sees is this like wooden chair. And she goes, oh my god, that's beautiful. That's so fantastic. He goes, no, it's not that.
01:06:51
Speaker
It's this love seat. It's this ugly ass love seat. Yeah. Yeah. That doesn't go with Peter Gallagher's decor. Yeah. So he lives in Lake Point Tower, which is famous very famous, giant, super, super ritzy condo place. um It is it is famously the only building that's allowed to be east of Lakeshore Drive because, again, Chicago has public beaches. the all of of lake All of the Lakeshore, the actual shore of the lake, not the street, is owned by the city.
01:07:24
Speaker
And you can't build property on it because the city won't yeah sell it to you. um lake Lake Point Tower was made through a legal loophole where the company that made it made landfill.
01:07:36
Speaker
um Meaning that they created a peninsula, basically. Like they dumped earth into the lake until they made land. passed out in the lake and then connected it to the, the, um, to the land. And they're like, Hey, so that's not public land. That's landfill. That's not in the the contract. And so the city of Chicago closed that loophole after that was made. And so that was why it was the only building in Chicago, East of, of Lake Shore drive.
01:08:04
Speaker
And it's a, it's a big black eyesore. yeah um it was, yep, yep, yep. Before Trump tower, it was the worst building in Chicago. Um,
01:08:16
Speaker
And it is, it is exactly what I expected it to look like inside because they they very obviously shot inside and out. um That is, now there's not really a way to to fake that view, at least not in the 90s. I mean, that is they're shooting out the windows of that thing for real. um It's not CGI.
01:08:34
Speaker
It is yeah what you would expect. It it looks very 80s. It's very cold and white and black. And it's got this ugly little flat face gray cat. ah The cat's so cute. o it's if The cat is so fluffy. I hate that the cat isn't actually his. Spoiler alert. That made me mad.
01:08:56
Speaker
What's Ashley Bacon's cat? Yeah, we'll get there. i'm a Bill Pullman is suspicious and is quizzing her about everything. But she finds out through a coincidence that very recently he got stabbed in the testicle with a pencil and only has one ball. Because they're lawyers. course they have pencils on them.
01:09:16
Speaker
Yeah. ah Well, in the ninety s you know. Yeah, true. now they've all they got Now they've just got those little tiny iPads that people have. A phone? Yeah.
01:09:28
Speaker
No, and i like a small iPad, you know, like the the little tiny iPads that businessmen have now. Have you not seen this? The way you were shaping it, I was like, you mean a phone, Katie? It's not much bigger than a phone. That's what I'm saying. It's like, what is the point? Why have this? Like, it's like, it's like the size of a paperback book. Like, I don't know why, like, just use your phone. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
01:09:52
Speaker
Who am I to say? um the ah Yes. So she she proves that she knows him by saying he only has one testicle, which his mom checks.
01:10:03
Speaker
Yep. Okay. it was It was very weird. Yeah. Not great. There's this side plot with Joe Jr., the son of the landlord of the apartment she lives in. who tells Bill Pullman that he's dating her. And so that makes Bill Pullman suspicious. Yeah. But he's just really a creep.
01:10:23
Speaker
He's just such a creep who likes to put on women's shoes. Yeah. um Which I don't know if they were like making some sort of like, cross-dressing joke that it didn't age well or if they were making him just like more of a creep like i think it's i think it's intention and i think it's intention is just that he's like a pervert like uh like a like a foot pervert because he gets into her underwear yeah it could be right i like black underwears he says um my mom calls them underwears i don't like that at all
01:11:00
Speaker
Underwares. Again, my mom who calls, I think in the first episode of this, we talked about how my mom ah calls a vagina a coosie loo and a penis a peenie pod.
01:11:14
Speaker
is awful. I'm like, mom, I would rather you say, she goes, I would rather, I i said, I would rather you say cock. She's like, oh, I don't like that. No, peenie pod is worse. That's way worse. Peenie pod.
01:11:29
Speaker
Um, oh God. Uh, so yes, that all happens. Um, yeah, I definitely think it could be read as like transphobic or like, yeah i was like i i just like, I can't really tell.
01:11:46
Speaker
But like, cause like, why are we, cause at the end when she's comforting him, um she's like, do you want to come inside? We can put on my shoes. um And he goes, okay.
01:11:57
Speaker
Okay. I like that. Okay. That's weird. I don't like any of that. Yeah. So after, so but the Bill Pullman delivers the love the ugly love seat to ah to Peter's house. And then they, he gets trapped in, he can't get out of a parallel park. Yep. um So they decide to walk to Logan Square together.
01:12:20
Speaker
yeah And I don't know, I guess, where does he live? We don't know anything about where he lives. don't know where he lives. Does he live in LaGrange? We don't know. I don't know. But like, he's got to go to sleep somehow.
01:12:31
Speaker
I guess he's going to get a cab, yeah. yeah um And he walks her five miles home, which is so romantic. And they talk about a great time. They talk about her dad and like, um, ah her dreams she travel she's wearing her dad's coat. Yeah. She has a passport that she carries with her with no stamps in it. And she wants to go to Florence and much like almost every female protagonist in a rom-com, she dropped out of school to take care of her sick dad.
01:12:59
Speaker
Yes, of course she did. Of course she did. it's come up so many times. It's like that exact plot point. the They've got to.
01:13:10
Speaker
she started of working for the CTA and she's just been kind of stuck doing that ever since. And and he's stuck too because he doesn't want to he wants to build furniture but not sell furniture. Yes. So it's it's pretty close, honestly. like It's still in the furniture sphere. You're still in the furniture business.
01:13:30
Speaker
But he wants, he's afraid to tell his dad that. ah Peter Boyle, his dad, with the unlikely name of Ox. um Jesus Christ. Which I assume is short for something like box like Oxalander. um iceberg Oxalander?
01:13:48
Speaker
He doesn't look like an oxford. f
01:13:53
Speaker
Or it's just Or it's just Ox. The guy's name is Ox. Yeah. Um, so then, then what happens? Then he wakes up, right? Yeah. Then, then Peter Gallagher wakes up. Uh, and they're like, Peter's awake. Oh my god Hold on. Hold on.
01:14:11
Speaker
oh There's cuteness. I skipped over. There's cuteness. Um, it's, it's, it's a couple of, ah couple of things. Um, one thing, um He was like, ah you know, um what's your dad like? What was your dad like? And she was like, she goes like a lot like me, you know, dark hair, flat. um Yeah. buts like Good for you, Sandy.
01:14:36
Speaker
um ah They get to her apartment and there's ice all over. And so they're trying to help each other across the ice. And it's just like, so sweet. Like, it's really sweet. Yeah. um hanging on to each other and laughing and trying not to fall um there's a lot of falling in this movie um they're falling in love yeah they're giving they're they're donating blood at the hospital and he faints yeah um when he's trying to cut walk after her ah the the kid on the bicycle falls they're they're falling um obviously he falls onto the tracks there's a lot of i was gonna say peter gallagher falls onto the tracks
01:15:14
Speaker
it's cute it's cute it is really cute and then ah he
Comedic Falling Scenes
01:15:21
Speaker
he falls and his pants are wet and she's like he's like do you have any pants that I can wear and she says if you fit into my jeans I'll kill myself yes ah funny so sweet um uh yes um they're they're so charming it's just it's an overload of charm uh sandy and and bill pullman here and they just look at each other with such genuine love that it's just sort of like your heart melts every time that they're around each other like they have really great chemistry yeah she tells her boss all about it um and she's like i'm falling in love with his brother and he's like this is too much for me ah yeah
01:16:06
Speaker
No, no. then Oh, they make them at her fan at his family's house, they make them kiss under the mistletoe. Yeah, which seems weird. um Kiss, kiss, kiss!
01:16:18
Speaker
I don't think I've ever kissed a non-person I'm dating under the mistletoe. I have not either. No. yeah That's weird. it's It's like, I mean, i get but that's like kind of the point. That was the original point, is to make people kiss who weren't together, right? Because the other thing about mistletoe that kind of the tradition changed is that mistletoe is supposed to be hidden.
01:16:43
Speaker
Like, that's the point. Like, I mean, in several of the Christmas songs, they say the mistletoe where you is hung where you can see, so the couples can go and kiss under it. But normally...
01:16:57
Speaker
mistletoe is hidden and then you are under there with some person that maybe you are sweet on and maybe you're not yeah and someone points out oh you're standing under the mistletoe yeah couldn't see it because it's hidden and because it mean again it was real mistletoe it's just like a little bit of sprig of little white berries yeah yeah um but that's kind of that's not the tradition anymore now the tradition is you have like a big felt mistletoe or something. And then you go and you go, oh, we're under the mistletoe. Kiss, his kiss, kiss.
01:17:31
Speaker
You just hang it under the arch by the door, which is the tradition yeah now. but that's not So now everyone has to make out when they walk in. It used to be hidden in the rafters at the barn dance at the box social, you know? wo we used to build things in this country. The...
01:17:49
Speaker
that The teenager takes the train ah and talks it ah with her friend is talking to Sandy Bullock. And this is how her work friend finds out that she's engaged in quotes. And as the girls are walking away, she goes, are you pregnant? And she sarcastically goes, yes, I'm pregnant.
01:18:10
Speaker
The friend overhears this and doesn't know she's being sarcastic. And now everybody thinks that she's pregnant and it's just spiraling out of control. Yeah. Things are just becoming way more intense.
01:18:22
Speaker
Yeah. um then she goes to the new year's party at her friend's house and Bill Pullman shows up and accosts her about being pregnant. yeah And then he says that he saw her and Joe Jr. And they were leaning. And I love that. Like the whole, it wasn't,
01:18:37
Speaker
You weren't standing, you were leaning. Leaning implies... leaning. Leaning implies... Is a whole different thing. Yeah. ah Implies that you are are welcoming or something like that. And then Joe Jr. is like, hey, is this guy bothering you? Looks like he was leaning.
01:18:54
Speaker
Classic. Classic. And then he wakes up.
Amnesia and Romantic Comedy Misunderstanding
01:19:00
Speaker
Yeah. Then he wakes up and everyone's like, oh, he's awake. He's awake. He's awake.
01:19:06
Speaker
um And of course, Sandra Bullock's freaking out. um And ah they're they're like, they all go and see him at the hospital. and Everyone's just like, hey, here we are, your family. And remember Lucy? And he goes, i know all of you guys.
01:19:23
Speaker
Who the hell is she? They go, he has amnesia. Oh my god, he's got amnesia. Amnesia! Classic. like they're The family are such good-hearted people. like they They can't even imagine that Lucy would be lying about all of this. Exactly.
01:19:43
Speaker
Exactly. way. Peter Gallagher does so much with so little in this movie. I know. He's got this great expressive dumb face. I love him so much.
01:19:56
Speaker
um he's so funny in this um and he's like because at first like you don't know that he's he's an asshole like for about 10 minutes or so he's just like oh okay i guess he's like i remember this and i remember this i remember my locker combination in middle school and i remember he's like why don't i remember her he's like right now he says i love you i must i must love you it's pretty sweet actually um a jack uh talks to his dad uh and tells him that he doesn't want to be in the family business and his dad is peter boy was like okay that's great you don't then you do that i'll i could have sold this business to to this other guy and if you just yeah told me like it's no big deal and and both was like oh that's great i gotta go see about a girl
01:20:46
Speaker
um i gotta go see a girl about a thing saul tells ah lucy that he's gonna handle it and then he repeatedly doesn't uh he chickens out which i love because he's this like old man like sweet old man kind of like authority figure who's like got his shit figured out and he's like he's avoiding this like a little kid it's very funny but he's like He's like, I'm going to figure it out. I'm right behind you. and then everybody walks into the room and he goes the other way.
01:21:14
Speaker
Yep. And he's like, okay, never mind. Bye. See you later. He has this long conversation with Peter and he's like, Peter, you're a putz. You ruin all this stuff. And Lucy, like, I want you to look in her eyes. She's a great girl. We all love her. I want you to look in her eyes when she comes back in here.
01:21:34
Speaker
and If you can't see yourself, you know, with her and she's going to make everything better. She's saved this family. um If you can't just break up with her. But if you think that maybe for once in your life, you won't be a putz, then ask her to marry you again and figure this out because, and he's trying to do his best because he doesn't know that Lucy's fallen in love with Jack.
01:21:57
Speaker
exactly yeah exactly they they don't know that and um and he's just trying to like make this all right because obviously everybody else loves lucy lucy obviously you know has had a thing for peter um or whatever his character is his name peter peter gallier's name is peter hand yeah Well, then there you go. And so he does. And he she comes back and he looks at her and they have a little conversation. And he's just like he he asked her to marry him. And then it's well like, first, he has a conversation with Jack where Jack sneaks him ice cream and they're they're moving him into another room where he's like, he's like, I'm a bad person, Jack. He's like, no, you're not. He's like, I've never been faithful to a woman.
01:22:49
Speaker
Yes. And then those s skis so squirrels.
01:22:55
Speaker
There's a whole like C plot with when he was younger, he saved a bunch of baby squirrels and it made the paper.
Humorous Subplots and Chaos
01:23:03
Speaker
Yeah. Turns out he knocked them out of their nest.
01:23:10
Speaker
He goes, those squirrels, I knocked them out of their nest with a rock. And then I saved them. Then I saved them. Be cool. Be cool. Yeah. and And Ashley Bacon, of course, shows up. She's been in Portugal. We've had some messages on Peter's answering machine. She goes, yes, I will marry you. Because apparently he asked her to marry him. She said no and then but went to Portugal. And so he thought they were broken up, but she changed her mind. She's come back there.
01:23:38
Speaker
she meets She sees him and ah Sandy Bullock. And he's like, we broke up. like what's go yeah i' I'm going to be happy with her now. Go away. And she's like, yeah.
01:23:49
Speaker
I want my stuff back. And he goes, well, I want my stuff back. And she goes, what stuff? He goes, your nose. And she goes, what about these? To her tits. Correct. Yes. um And so apparently he paid for her to have a plastic surgery, which. Yeah.
01:24:05
Speaker
It was the nineties. And then the guy next to him in the hospital goes, Holy buckets, Peter. yeah
01:24:14
Speaker
Which I had to pause the thing to laugh. at Just his expression and his voice and holy buckets, Peter. I'm going to start saying holy buckets. either I love that. I'm going to try that out today.
01:24:26
Speaker
um ah My family loves you. i may as well love you too. And yeah, that's that romantic. What every girl wants to hear. that the nurse sees this and faints. That's the other fault. Yep.
01:24:40
Speaker
Because it's all working out. Yeah. um She has the worst wedding dress in the world. Yeah. It exactly like the wedding dress that she is supposed to wear in um ah ah not two weeks notice. What was the other one that we did with Reynolds? The proposal.
01:24:59
Speaker
The proposal. Yeah, yeah. It looks almost like an old-timey nurse's uniform, is what I said, which I thought may be intentional. Like, maybe that's... it's supposed to be a joke they're getting married in the hospital.
Jack's Dilemma and Wedding Day Confession
01:25:11
Speaker
They decide they're getting married the next day, which crazy. In the hospital. In the hospital chapel. Yeah, Northwestern Hospital.

01:25:38
Speaker
Yeah, from Florence. And she goes, it's Florence. And she asks him, can you give me a reason why I shouldn't marry your brother? And he's like, I can't. He's got that gravelly voice. I can't. His hair is all floppy. um Yeah. Because he's trying to be a good guy. And Brendan Fraser in these 90s movies, I think, like cemented my type in men like so early. Yeah. and the Floppy hair.
01:26:05
Speaker
Floppy hair, like kind of... like I don't know. um ah This kind of... um What is that's the word I'm looking for? Well, yeah, but like also kind of of like roguish, I guess, like yeah half smiles and like, I mean, I guess that's everybody's type, but like, I don't know. Casual and um like sarcastic. Charming but goofy.
01:26:33
Speaker
Charming but goofy. Yeah. But also kind of silly. Yeah. Yeah. Charming but goofy. Yeah. Yeah. That's how I describe Charlie. Yeah. yeah tall nerds tall nerds is really my my type i suppose tall nerds um which is the same for you i suppose yeah yeah with floppy hair which charlie had and is now going away sure yeah that happens so i gotta either get him a wig or gotta to find a new tall nerd oh no kidding notice charlie
01:27:11
Speaker
I'm not cutting that out. Nobody. She's late for the wedding. He's there with an IV. Everybody's in the hospital. Her dress is terrible. yeah um The first thing she says is, I object. And then Jack's like, object too. the minister's like, or the chaplain, I suppose. It's like, it's not time for that yet.
01:27:31
Speaker
yeah She's like, I'm in love with your son. and they're like, we know. We know. like, no, not that one. That one. Yeah.
01:27:43
Speaker
And so she has to explain the whole thing. yeah she has to, she gives this beautiful, beautiful monologue about how she ah she, what really happened, how she fell in love with Peter from afar. um And then she really did save his life, but um she'd never met him until that day. And then there was confusion. And then she ended up falling in love with the family. She was like, and I fell in love with you, all of you. People was like, me?
01:28:13
Speaker
No, all of you. and it's so sweet. And that's when I started to get teary eyed because it's just yeah so, so sweet and wonderful. And she's just like, and I'm sorry for everything. And, you know, ah i I didn't mean for it to get to be like this, but um he i they say that I saved Peter's life, but really Peter saved my life.
