Speaker 1: Erica, you inspired me this holiday season.
Speaker 2: You inspire me, I inspire many.
Speaker 1: You inspire many, and honestly, you inspire me every day.
Speaker 1: You inspired me to live my life to the fullest
Speaker 1: every day.
Speaker 2: In a phrase that I have coined and absolutely made
Speaker 2: up on my own. Uh huh, Live Moss, Paul.
Speaker 1: That was an answer on my Crossford puzzle this morning
Speaker 1: on the New York Times Mini. So if anyone does
Speaker 1: in New York Times, Mini, you now to the exact
Speaker 1: day that we are recording this. Oh, Live Moss, I.
Speaker 2: Did that last night. You're right, that might be why
Speaker 2: that was in my head.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I had I had an eye doctor appointment
Speaker 1: this past week. It's been a long couple of months. Like,
Speaker 1: I want to book a massage. That would be really cool.
Speaker 1: But the only time I could book a massage it
Speaker 1: was basically butting right up against the eye doctor appointment.
Speaker 1: I could have been on time for the doctor appointment
Speaker 1: if everything went right, everything smooth, and you know, nothing
Speaker 1: ever goes right. So I was like, I'm booking this
Speaker 1: with like the full knowledge that I would be like
Speaker 1: five or ten minutes late. I was like, no, I
Speaker 1: can't do it because I'll be late for my eye
Speaker 1: doctor appointment. And then I thought of you, and I
Speaker 1: thought of you making fun of me, and I thought
Speaker 1: of you saying, bitch, be ten minutes late once on
Speaker 1: our episode, and I was like, bitch, I am going
Speaker 1: to be ten minutes late once because I recognize that
Speaker 1: like five or ten minutes late is not a big deal.
Speaker 1: And I did it.
Speaker 2: Yay. Did it ruin the massage for you? Though? I
Speaker 2: worry ruined the massage for you that you had to sit,
Speaker 2: that you were tense the whole time, going, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be five minutes late.
Speaker 1: The massage therapist was like, your calves were really tense,
Speaker 1: but I I it.
Speaker 2: Was kind of And you're like, do you mean taut.
Speaker 1: Taught, because I will be powerwalking the second you take
Speaker 1: your hands off me and I get dressed again. No,
Speaker 1: but it was a it was like a meditation thing.
Speaker 1: You know. In a meditation, they're like, when your thoughts
Speaker 1: go to something else, just let that go and return
Speaker 1: to the present time. Like that's what I was doing.
Speaker 1: Did that happen eighteen to twenty seven times? Yes, it
Speaker 1: absolutely did. In the forty five minutes I was page,
Speaker 1: but I kept letting it go, so you inSpot, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Now, to be clear, I was
Speaker 1: exactly on time, which.
Speaker 2: Is five minutes late for you, which is in fact
Speaker 2: five minutes late.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Paul America.
Speaker 1: And this is that aged well.
Speaker 2: That today is pop culture today.
Speaker 1: And this is this is the this is the zombie
Speaker 1: week in between Christmas and New Year's Did.
Speaker 2: Were you visited by three ghosts last night? Because that
Speaker 2: was unsettling? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't care for it, and frankly, I didn't
Speaker 1: feel like I deserved it. I did not feel like
Speaker 1: I deserved it.
Speaker 2: Same. I was like, you know, okay, yeah I did
Speaker 2: burn down that orphanage, but.
Speaker 1: But I atoned and I confessed in.
Speaker 2: My sense, the building was ugly.
Speaker 1: So I was inside it was a fire trap. All
Speaker 1: the orphans got out, so I actually saved them from
Speaker 1: potentially dying in an actual fire brought on by faulty wiring.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like, you made it better than mine. So
Speaker 2: I was just like, no, she's just she just hated
Speaker 2: that building and burned it.
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: Nor who cares?
Speaker 1: Erica? We have we have two tasks today, Okay, we
Speaker 1: have our annual task of reading our international reviews, our
Speaker 1: international five star iTunes reviews. And then we watched a film,
Speaker 1: a very recent film. Actually, we watched Sennor Hot Frosty,
Speaker 1: which is what it's called in Mexico. On Mexican Netflix,
Speaker 1: it's Senor Hot Frosty.
Speaker 2: It's called Senor Hot Frostia. No.
Speaker 1: I just made that.
Speaker 2: It should be call Frosty.
Speaker 1: Maybe Frosty Caliente.
Speaker 2: I actually have no idea. I'm now googling it. Hot
Speaker 2: Frosty's name in Mexico Caliente.
Speaker 1: That's hot snow right, remember hot Hail from Flash Gordon. Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, huh. Apparently they're just calling it hot Frosty. They're
Speaker 2: not changing it.
Speaker 1: Some things in this world are so perfect, they are
Speaker 1: iconic in every language.
Speaker 2: I just want to I just want to say that. There.
Speaker 2: As I'm scrolling through like hot Frosty stuff on, there's
Speaker 2: a British GQ article just titled I cried during Hot Frosty.
Speaker 2: I will not be reading that article because the headline
Speaker 2: is perfect and I don't want to ruin it.
Speaker 1: I don't exactly we couldn't possibly all right, Erica. Before
Speaker 1: we get to hot Frosty, we do have some international
Speaker 1: reviews to read? Shall I read the first one?
Speaker 2: What do you think this podcast is called in other countries?
Speaker 2: If we ever make it big, like a conglomerate vises
Speaker 2: up and is like listen, it can't be that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: in Mexico, it's going to have to be something else.
Speaker 1: American pricks, Americans.
Speaker 2: Bloviating Americans, abloviating American pricks discuss movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the homo in the Hag, the homo in the
Speaker 1: Hag talk about movies and they're both shrill.
Speaker 2: That's the French title.
Speaker 1: Bring Back the Guillotine. The I went.
Speaker 2: With Homo and Hag because of the alliteration, but honestly
Speaker 2: the correct title is the Homo and the Spinster. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they're both shru There must.
Speaker 1: Be an S word for for homo cissy, the cissy
Speaker 1: and the spinster there and the.
Speaker 2: Spinster's that's our title in.
Speaker 1: Germany, Cissy spinster. All right, Shall I read the first
Speaker 1: Shall I read the first review?
Speaker 2: Sure? Thank you?
Speaker 1: So this is from Switzerland. I believe our first review
Speaker 1: from Switzerland, and I'm not neutral about it. Hey, very
Speaker 1: pro h This is from mc a v L. And
Speaker 1: they write top tier quality podcast I would attempt a
Speaker 1: Swiss accent, except I genuinely don't know where to begin.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a combination German French and it's
Speaker 2: not going to go well. Yeah, that's not going to
Speaker 2: go well for either.
Speaker 1: That's exactly where I what I came up with, and
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: I like, how does Roger Federer speak? But he's so American.
Speaker 1: Now all I could think of is randomly peppering in
Speaker 1: words kind of in German and or French that I
Speaker 1: kind of know, like starting off by reading we you know,
Speaker 1: top tier quality podcast. Okay, so mcavl writes, this review
Speaker 1: is long overdue because I've been listening to and cracking up,
Speaker 1: sometimes maniacally laughing in the streets over Erica and Paul's
Speaker 1: hilarious and smart review recap Banter for a while now.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks to them, my friends and I discovered
Speaker 1: the pure joy of Mommy Dearest the other night.
Speaker 2: Oh thank god, we're educating, we are spreading the gospel.
Speaker 2: I always wanted this show to be educational, and honestly,
Speaker 2: if we could just get like ten people under the
Speaker 2: age of thirty to watch Mommy Dearest. Yeah, and Sunset Boulevard.
Speaker 2: Then I will have done my duty on Earth. I'm
Speaker 2: ready to shuffle off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they finish. In fact, I have to start
Speaker 1: watching certain movies just to listen to their episodes. Delightful,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, MC. This goes for everybody. If

Speaker 1: Yeah, the shrieking friends of Dorothy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shrieking friends of.
Speaker 1: And honestly it's more accurate than the English title. It
Speaker 1: really cuts to the chase.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they named it Aroundlake Lucerne. Right, that's
Speaker 1: in Switzerland, isn't it. I feel like that's the answer
Speaker 1: in a lot of Jeopardy questions. Maybe I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Our next review comes from our neighbors up North, Canada, Canada, Canada.
Speaker 1: What's it all about? I think I made that exact
Speaker 1: same joke last Christmas. So the Canadian reviews that.
Speaker 2: Like our three Canadian fans, are like, fuck off.
Speaker 1: Fuck off, get new material.
Speaker 2: We have more things about us. Make a maple syrup
Speaker 2: joke poutine for Christ's sake.
Speaker 1: I have full nudity in male strip clubs up here
Speaker 1: and you never talk about it.
Speaker 2: That's true. Way to go Canada. This review comes from
Speaker 2: this will take a while. I love that. I don't
Speaker 2: think that was for written for this review. It was
Speaker 2: written for something else, and I now want to know
Speaker 2: the backstory if I'm being honest, So this will take
Speaker 2: a while, right, like family, love Erica and Paul. Just
Speaker 2: like family, they make me laugh, roll my eyes, want
Speaker 2: to scream what is wrong with them at times? But
Speaker 2: in the end I will stick with them for all.
Speaker 1: Times, stick with them like maple syrup sticks to a pancake.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: That really is truly the familial experience of yes, no,
Speaker 2: shut up.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Okay, stop it with the Johnny Paradise puns. Enough.
Speaker 2: I do love you in the end, So since we
Speaker 2: are family, Canada, I may need to stay with you
Speaker 2: a few times over the next few years.
Speaker 1: Do you have a spare room?
Speaker 2: Do you have a spare room? Family in Canada? No reason? Yeah,
Speaker 2: then whatsoever?
Speaker 1: Little known fact this podcast in Canada is known as
Speaker 1: see not all of our neighbors suck. All of our
Speaker 1: downstairs neighbors are terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes sometimes you have nice people living in the basement.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly the rest of the riff rash. All right, Erica,
Speaker 1: We're headed across the pond to the UKAI.
Speaker 2: Oh lordigordy, you know what that was so perfect? I thought,
Speaker 2: it's like, is the queen here? Yes, she's still alive, Camilla.
Speaker 1: Camilla is the queen.
Speaker 2: You know, it's been years already, and like I still
Speaker 2: have not adjusted to the idea that they have new
Speaker 2: royalty or because she will.
Speaker 1: Always be the tramp. That's nice, to be honest, she.
Speaker 2: Will always be the side piece. But God bless her.
Speaker 1: A side piece who made it good? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: Into that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I really am all right.
Speaker 1: So this is from Sammy p. Seventy nine and they
Speaker 1: write crying tears down my legs.
Speaker 2: Oh that's called peeing. Well, I'm sorry to tell you.
Speaker 1: Thet I discovered both hosts whilst binging another podcast that
Speaker 1: they were guests on Down by the Creek. Oh, I
Speaker 1: remember Down by the Creek and I loved their sense
Speaker 1: of humor. I like the sound of the podcast and
Speaker 1: being an older gen X or as I prefer xennial
Speaker 1: as it makes me sound younger.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah that's us. We're cuspy too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just prefer millennial and you just prefer gen X.
Speaker 1: But really we're xennials.
Speaker 2: I identify as gen X.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sammy p goes on. I was overjoyed to find
Speaker 1: a podcast that covers all the shows and films I
Speaker 1: watched when I was younger. I have watched so many
Speaker 1: again as an adult and had the same observation, so
Speaker 1: I was happy to find this show. Paul and Erica
Speaker 1: are delightful. They're humor and banter or as we call
Speaker 1: it in the UK, the bands. That's cute, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: I often listen when walking my dog, and passers by
Speaker 1: must think I'm insane as I'm constantly white, being tears
Speaker 1: from my eyes and laughing out loud. Sorry, Erica's point
Speaker 1: now proven also dude to childbirth. My pelvic floor is
Speaker 1: not what it seems, so I'm constantly having to cross
Speaker 1: my legs to avoid leg tears.
Speaker 2: Love this, Oh girl.
Speaker 1: All worth it for such a funny and charming podcast.
Speaker 1: Now little known fact this podcast. This podcast in the
Speaker 1: UK around Sammy Peas area of the UK, I'm not
Speaker 1: maybe Manchester. Perhaps she's a man Union is known as
Speaker 1: adult diapers not included but recommended.
Speaker 2: In Scotland, we're just known as a head butt. You
Speaker 2: just head butt someone. That's what I'm listening to. How
Speaker 2: about you. The next review from the UK comes from
Speaker 2: ex Patty Cake Nothing but Joy come for the witchy
Speaker 2: Banta and hilarious movie critique. It's stay for Miss Piggy.
Speaker 2: No notes, no notes, indeed, I love that Paul's giving
Speaker 2: me the short ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He made it so. He made it so that we
Speaker 2: were like, He's like just cat really like we're just
Speaker 2: gonna go and like split these up even you know,
Speaker 2: I'll do what all of mine are one sentence long.
Speaker 2: God damn it, Paul. I love you, I love you,
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 1: Look, it's it's Christmas. As we're going to discover in
Speaker 1: the movie we discussed later. Literally anything can be solved
Speaker 1: by the sentence It's Christmas.
Speaker 2: It's Christmas. It's just It's Christmas.
Speaker 1: What a secret weapon those writers have. Anything could happen.
Speaker 2: I'm going to push a nun into the river later
Speaker 2: today and then just be like, it's Christmas.
Speaker 1: Christmas. She's fine, It's Christmas. The final review from the
Speaker 1: UK comes from animated Cooper. Now whenever I hear Cooper,
Speaker 1: I hear it in the voice of the hot British
Speaker 1: guy from Emily in Paris, whose name I could not
Speaker 1: possibly tell you. Oh you know why?
Speaker 2: His is the one name I do remembers. What's it
Speaker 2: all about? Alfie? He says, they have a British character
Speaker 2: and they're like, we need to give it the most
Speaker 2: British name ever, Elfie.
Speaker 1: Animated cupa like the strong liquid um hm, and they write,
Speaker 1: I love this podcast. Paul and Erica are hilarious. I
Speaker 1: stuck around after searching for podcasts talking about She Devil.
Speaker 1: There weren't many available. And you know what this does prove.
Speaker 1: This does prove because you know, lots of times we
Speaker 1: try to do popular movies, they tend to get more downloads,
Speaker 1: but it's good to do the lesser known movies. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they'll cult classics.
Speaker 2: Well, because that movie is genius and genius we.
Speaker 1: Discussed, yes, and it reaches out. It reaches out over
Speaker 1: the airwaves and finds people who also already know it's
Speaker 1: genius right animated. Cupa goes on to say, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if I've not seen the film they're talking about,
Speaker 1: because they do a great recap. They are queer friendly,
Speaker 1: and the references to musical theater are delightful. Being gen
Speaker 1: Z who We've got a young that's it, we got
Speaker 1: a young on the hook here, being gen Z from
Speaker 1: the UK. I don't get a lot of their references,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't matter because the discussions are great. Hannah fantastic.
Speaker 1: She's like say, I don't understand your old person talk,
Speaker 1: but they're really really into Fraser and I guess maybe
Speaker 1: I'll watch it someday, but you know, it'll come around
Speaker 1: the culture again.
Speaker 2: Our next reviews all come from the lambdown Under, Australia.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: In Australia, our podcast is actually called that Age well Erica.

Speaker 2: Biscuits and Kitty Cats, This is delightful. Yeah, and the
Speaker 2: title is absolutely delightful. Paul and Erica continue to knock
Speaker 2: it out of the park week after week. Who knew
Speaker 2: what fun it could be to have your favorite films
Speaker 2: picked apart. Keep up the good work. Thank you for
Speaker 2: the joy you bring to my weekly listening.
Speaker 1: Ah well, thank you. And I do love hearing that
Speaker 1: people who love the films that we do tend to
Speaker 1: pick up art with love can still enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I'm going to say to you,
Speaker 2: Team Biscuits and Kitty Cats. You're terrible, Muriel, You're terrible.
Speaker 1: We did have a bunch of people because we just
Speaker 1: released the Family Stone in our timeline that is the
Speaker 1: active episode right now, and many people saying, I still
Speaker 1: love this movie, but I no lies detected on the podcast,
Speaker 1: which is fair.
Speaker 2: Understood, understood, We've all been there.
Speaker 1: Absolutely okay. Our next review from Australia comes from Hikaru
Speaker 1: East Sure something like that. They write, absolutely hilarious. Prepare
Speaker 1: to have your nostalgia bias hilariously brought into the present.

Speaker 1: enjoying every second of it. The just released episode of
Speaker 1: the Warriors is a scream and I hope to see
Speaker 1: the West Village Willies take on the Elaine stretches.
Speaker 2: Its battle for the ages.
Speaker 1: A bloodbath.
Speaker 2: A bloodbath on the streets of Manhattan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not since the actual seventies has something this
Speaker 1: violent happened.
Speaker 2: My final review comes from Nick from Dawn Unda. This
Speaker 2: is actually Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 1: And now Eric, I think you're wrong. It's Nicole Kidman's account,
Speaker 1: but Naomi Watts wrote it.
Speaker 2: Naomi Watts wrote it right, okay, right, and Russell Crowe
Speaker 2: edited it yea.
Speaker 1: And Hugh Jackman is dating Sutton Foster. That's not related.
Speaker 1: It's just an Australian fact.
Speaker 2: Title of review doing me out of business? Paul and Erica,
Speaker 2: I am a therapist who has suggested your podcast to
Speaker 2: a number of clients. Oh, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I do you know all the lessons we give for
Speaker 1: free on this podcast for free?
Speaker 2: I guess now I have to think about the things
Speaker 2: I say before I say them. And they have replaced.
Speaker 1: Me with you. Oh we're bringing joy?
Speaker 2: Should I be charging my therapist? Is that what's happening here?
Speaker 2: Thank you for the joyous laughter you provide. On that
Speaker 2: weekly skipped down memory lane. I adore the chemistry you
Speaker 2: two have and wish I could come to New York
Speaker 2: City for an impromptu CAUs with you too. Oh sadly
Speaker 2: I am in Australia. Don't be sad about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not great here right now.
Speaker 2: Don't be sad about it, Nick, Which not only rules
Speaker 2: me out of randomly running into either of you for
Speaker 2: a spontaneous, in real life laugh, it also rules me

Speaker 2: envy of all of my friends for this Shoden Freud thrill.
Speaker 2: I'd be willing to pay the international postage just saying
Speaker 2: Paul Nick is putting their their money where their.
Speaker 1: Mouth is not a problem. Let me know, Nick, I will,
Speaker 1: I will do what needs to happen.

Speaker 2: And I, boy, have I been shown my come up
Speaker 2: in Paul because I actually really enjoyed this.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny because for fun because we were we
Speaker 1: were we were caught between this and and uh the
Speaker 1: Merry Gentleman the Male Stripper of Christmas with Chad Michael Murray. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I was like, why don't we We'll pull it
Speaker 1: on Instagram. So if you've voted on Instagram and you're
Speaker 1: not a patron, you know that that's what we're doing
Speaker 1: every month over there. You get to vote on movies
Speaker 1: you get to discuss. But this movie one handily over
Speaker 1: Marry Gentleman because the overall feeling from the comments was
Speaker 1: this movie is actually like has something to recommend it,
Speaker 1: and the Merry Gentleman is actually just bad.
Speaker 2: I like, thank you to our listeners for caring about
Speaker 2: us enough to be like, hey, guys, you deserve to
Speaker 2: watch something you'll actually enjoy and not just like rip
Speaker 2: into the next day. So I do appreciate that. I
Speaker 2: was shocked at how much I enjoyed watching this. It's
Speaker 2: not good per se, It's not, but I think that's
Speaker 2: the point of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: It is a satire of Christmas movies. It's not actually
Speaker 2: a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. It's very self aware of what it is.
Speaker 2: I think casting Lacy Shabert is a genius because for
Speaker 2: like a genius move. For those of you who are
Speaker 2: unfamiliar with the Hallmark Industrial Complex, Sebert runs that joint
Speaker 2: like the fucking Godfather. No one gets anything done without
Speaker 2: Shabert's knowing about it, or say so.
Speaker 1: It's funny because when you first brought this up, obviously
Speaker 1: I'd heard of both of these movies because they were
Speaker 1: obviously at a big moment in the zeitgeist, right, I
Speaker 1: just assumed it was a Hallmark movie, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have anyone to watch that, like,
Speaker 1: can I stream it anywhere? And then I don't know
Speaker 1: if I looked up or you told me, but I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's on Netflix. I just because I
Speaker 1: saw Lacy Shabert and I was like, well, that's on Hallmark.
Speaker 1: And honestly, good for her. What a what an absolute
Speaker 1: brilliant move as an actor, like a profession that, even
Speaker 1: when you're very successful, is like a constant hustle and
Speaker 1: a constant like trying to get the next job to
Speaker 1: just be like, no, I was in Mean Girls, I
Speaker 1: am an icon, and now I want to have a
Speaker 1: fucking normal, goddamn schedule. So I will do seven Christmas
Speaker 1: movies for Hallmark every goddamn year for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 2: Fantastic in all of them. I haven't seen all of them,
Speaker 2: and I've only but I'm not kidding, Paul. I've seen
Speaker 2: at least three Christmas movies, Lazy Shabar in then Utiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, so we've already talked about Lacy shaber
Speaker 1: Hot Frosty himself dust Dustin Milligan hot Hot Vet from
Speaker 1: Shit's Creek ted ted right because creak. I will freely
Speaker 1: admit that upon seeing this poster, I was like, it's
Speaker 1: more like tepid frosty, Like I know what that actor
Speaker 1: looks like, and he's better looking than that picture.
Speaker 2: Here's what happened. He knew he had to get super
Speaker 2: cut for this movie, right, because there's a lot of
Speaker 2: like jokes about his abs and his like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: see him a penis, Yeah, but we don't see that.
Speaker 2: But we see him naked from the waist up quite
Speaker 2: a few times in the film, and I think he
Speaker 2: does not have the face for someone who with with
Speaker 2: like who has to like the amount of like carbs
Speaker 2: you have to cut out and the amount of like
Speaker 2: things you have to do to your body to get
Speaker 2: from the neck down. When he achieved which well.
Speaker 1: Done, sir, which I mean nothing, nothing but honor.
Speaker 2: Makes it makes his face kind of sinewy. He had
Speaker 2: some meat on his bones before he was He was
Speaker 2: still like a super hot, super fit guy, just not
Speaker 2: like this level. And like it kind of hate to
Speaker 2: say this, but it kind of makes his face look gooney.
Speaker 1: They should have absolutely let him have a beard, because
Speaker 1: the beard is the other thing that can do that, because,
Speaker 1: like you've said this before, he has too many features.
Speaker 2: He's too many features. He's cheek, bones and the jaw lines,
Speaker 2: huge eyes.
Speaker 1: Strong nose, none of which are unattractive. It's just like
Speaker 1: it's just too much coming at you. And then his
Speaker 1: hair is in this unfortunate like he's a groat. He's
Speaker 1: growing it out, but it's not like it's not he
Speaker 1: can't just brush it back and tuck it behind his
Speaker 1: ears yet, so they have to keep gelling it back,
Speaker 1: and it's it's just not a good look.
Speaker 2: If you look at him now at POSTCT, Frosty he
Speaker 2: no longer has to look like this, and he looks
Speaker 2: like he's back to his normal like what he normally
Speaker 2: looks like.
Speaker 1: So hot, it's so hot.
Speaker 2: So hot. It's it's just unfortunate that, like, to accomplish
Speaker 2: what they needed to accomplish for this movie, they had
Speaker 2: to like kind of alter his face a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah that aside looks aside hotness of Frosty aside. I
Speaker 1: just have to say, honestly, what a fucking great job
Speaker 1: he does in this movie. He has to play the
Speaker 1: innocent like look, the rules make no sense. Hot Frosty
Speaker 1: does know what a credit card is, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: understand the s to pay for things like how what?
Speaker 1: What are we?
Speaker 2: I have the same thought. At one moment he says like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just sit here and commiserate with you, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, how do you know that word?
Speaker 1: Do you have the brain of a child or do
Speaker 1: you don't? Is this a splash situation or is it
Speaker 1: not a splasht Okay, My.
Speaker 2: Actual synopsis for Hot Frosty is it splash meets Elf
Speaker 2: with a little dash of sex appeal in it, like
Speaker 2: it is Elf. It is exactly the fucking movie Elf,
Speaker 2: but also a little bit splash. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is so good in it. He sells everything.
Speaker 1: He's never annoying. The role should be annoying for an
Speaker 1: adult to watch, and it's not, And honestly props to
Speaker 1: him for that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The one thing I almost wish this movie had done
Speaker 2: is like like I almost wish Will Ferrell had produced
Speaker 2: it and that it gotten a little bit like quirky
Speaker 2: Ear with the humor, Like I want is Parnell in this,
Speaker 2: I want I want Tim Meadows in this. I want
Speaker 2: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in this like, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: kind of wanted it to be like a little funnier.
Speaker 1: Because it is funny. They have Joe Latrulia and Craig Robinson.
Speaker 2: Craig Robinson doing the lord's work in this movie, like
Speaker 2: truly the most unlikable character ever written for a rom
Speaker 2: com and he's like, I'm gonna make this ship where
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make you love me, and god damn it,
Speaker 2: Craig Robinson.
Speaker 1: So quick. Plot synopsis of Hot Frosty, not that anyone
Speaker 1: needs it. Sad Kathy played by played by Lacy Shabe
Speaker 1: Lacy Shabert Hallmark Queen Lacy Shabert. Her husband has died
Speaker 1: and she runs a diner in this small town. Hot
Speaker 1: Frosty is a sculpture in the Snow Sculpture Contest. He
Speaker 1: comes to life when a magical scarf is put around
Speaker 1: him and they fall in love. That's that's Hot Frosty
Speaker 1: in a nutshell. Yeah, I have so many questions. Who
Speaker 1: sculpted Hot Frosty.
Speaker 2: They never talk about it. They never talk about the
Speaker 2: horny team girl who sculpted Hot Frosty and got the
Speaker 2: nipples right like accuracy.
Speaker 1: Nipples, those little eraser tips surrounded by a little perfect
Speaker 1: the perfect.
Speaker 2: The cume, gutter accuracy. Who sculpted him? Also, at the
Speaker 2: end of the movie, who the fuck won the snowman contest?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: They never actually tell us who wins the snowman contest.
Speaker 1: I would presume it's whoever sculpted him, because Hey, mine
Speaker 1: came to like, can you imagine the terror that would
Speaker 1: have What if she had put the scarf on a
Speaker 1: different snowman?
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Like the beginning of the movie, there's
Speaker 2: like a mother and daughter doing like a gremlin. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like truly, what if she'd been like, oh, this little
Speaker 2: gremlin could use a scarf, And then like this like
Speaker 2: thing woke up and it's.
Speaker 1: Like, that's actually a great parody of this. So he
Speaker 1: has this magical scarf. He has to have the scarf
Speaker 1: on the whole time. I guess they decided an old
Speaker 1: silk hat was was gonna be too stupid for him
Speaker 1: to us a million to try to be hot through
Speaker 1: has a scarf on. And there's this moment in the
Speaker 1: very beginning where he comes to life and he is naked.
Speaker 1: I appreciated the veracity of that moment They're like, no,
Speaker 1: he would be naked in this moment. So he just
Speaker 1: has a scarf on. It's covering the.
Speaker 2: Bits the work that scarf is doing. There was a
Speaker 2: wardrobe person who had to like tape that scarf to
Speaker 2: his like modesty pouch and like pin it to the
Speaker 2: modesty pouch they put on him for it for the movie.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that is that person's favorite day of
Speaker 2: work that they've ever had to do.
Speaker 1: And he like bends over but it's like, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: The scarf is like spirit gummed to like in between
Speaker 1: his genitals and his belly biden so to keep everything
Speaker 1: covered up. Excellent work, excellent truly.
Speaker 2: I also want to talk real quick about all the
Speaker 2: mean girl references. Oh yeah, film, there's a few throughout
Speaker 2: the film. It opens to Jingle Bell Rock. She wakes up.
Speaker 2: She's like in her freezing cold house because after her
Speaker 2: husband died, she'd started to live in a depression house
Speaker 2: where ward nothing works and she just was too depressed
Speaker 2: to fix anything. There's a note on the serviocet that
Speaker 2: just says call repair man, and she's literally freezing, like
Speaker 2: it is ten degrees out and her house is eight degrees,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you needed a note to remind how
Speaker 2: depressed are you?
Speaker 1: And also how long has it been since her husband
Speaker 1: sadly named Paul passed away? Because it's either three months
Speaker 1: or three years. Like, it's not like it has to
Speaker 1: be years. It has has to be years because the
Speaker 1: house has degraded to a point of concern, to a
Speaker 1: point where her friends really should be stepping in and
Speaker 1: being like girl, girl.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I thought the same thing. I was like, why
Speaker 2: don't they just call a repair man for her and
Speaker 2: send the repair man in her house and be like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fix your roof today, and I'm gonna make
Speaker 2: sure you have heat, like I'm gonna make sure you
Speaker 2: have the basics you need to survive.
Speaker 1: I know, I have a proposition for you. Do we
Speaker 1: think that the friends.
Speaker 2: Don't know that she's living in Squalor.
Speaker 1: Because here's here's my theory, because she's she runs the diner.
Speaker 1: She owns a diner, and she runs it in this town,
Speaker 1: which is we have to talk about the actual eyes
Speaker 1: of this town. In a minute, I'm gonna put a
Speaker 1: pin in that sentence in that and that's hilarious. But
Speaker 1: but the She runs the standard and she runs it
Speaker 1: very well, like every everything seems to be going well.
Speaker 1: At the diner, she she greets people, she seems normal.
Speaker 1: So I have a theory that this is actually like
Speaker 1: like it's a hoarder who like goes to work and
Speaker 1: then doesn't doesn't let anyone come into their house, and
Speaker 1: they and their friends don't know. It's the only thing
Speaker 1: that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, No, that does make total sense. But
Speaker 2: except like the cook at the diner, I believe is
Speaker 2: the one who was like, haven't you called the repair
Speaker 2: man yet? And she's like, I'll do it today, Tom.
Speaker 1: She's warming her hands on the flame of the of
Speaker 1: the oven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she took his bacon off the stove so she
Speaker 2: could warm her hands. And he's like, bitch, I have
Speaker 2: a job to do. Put that bacon back on the stove.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. The size of the town Hope Springs, which
Speaker 1: could could not be a more perfect name. Clearly it's
Speaker 1: a small town. These all take place in a small town, right.
Speaker 2: I have a question for you, Paul, since you grew
Speaker 2: up in a small town, did did this seem like
Speaker 2: a bustling metropolis to you? It's several dozen people living there.
Speaker 1: It's several dozen people, right, And it has this enormous
Speaker 1: diner that is always full. Yeah, it has a vintage
Speaker 1: shop that is the size of like a grand linens
Speaker 1: and things or something like. It's an enormous vintage shop.
Speaker 1: But then it also has the client tele for a
Speaker 1: custom men's boutique that can be called upon at a
Speaker 1: moment's notice to dress Hot Frosty.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't think about that. Maybe they drove to
Speaker 2: the big city. It's a big city that has five
Speaker 2: hundred people in it, right for custom men's boutique. You're
Speaker 2: absolutely right.
Speaker 1: There's one point at the end where she's like, it's
Speaker 1: the whole town. It's not more than thirty six people.
Speaker 2: Like, it's literally thirty six people.
Speaker 1: Did you notice we So we find out basically that
Speaker 1: her husband passed. In the beginning of the movie, we're like,
Speaker 1: did her husband leave her? Is she divorced? It's you know,
Speaker 1: he passed away. Becau's a hallmark movie. They don't want it.
Speaker 1: They just want like tragedy, not like just like real
Speaker 1: world sadness. It's just tragedy. But Hot Frosty is in
Speaker 1: the house alone because she's like Okay, you have to
Speaker 1: stay in the house because people don't know who you are.
Speaker 1: You're a stranger and the cops are looking for you. Whatever,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Hot Frosty goes exploring. He finds like
Speaker 1: this folder where she apparently keeps her husband's like cancer
Speaker 1: diagnoses in and it's in like comic sans font. Do
Speaker 1: you see that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know what the hospital is like. If
Speaker 2: we're gonna give you bad news, you're gonna do it
Speaker 2: in a chaunty way. We're gonna be like, hey, girl,
Speaker 2: guess what you got cancer? I did not notice. You're
Speaker 2: absolutely right. She keeps like a box of like their
Speaker 2: wedding photos and his cancer diagnoses and death sert to
Speaker 2: forget all in the same box. I'm like, Jesus, you
Speaker 2: can spread these things out around the house a little bit. Girl.
Speaker 2: So she goes to the local vintage store, which is
Speaker 2: owned by a couple named Mel and Theo. THEO is gay, right,
Speaker 2: THEO is absolutely a gay man.
Speaker 1: Now see, I thought Theo was a hot Frosty once.
Speaker 2: Who like, oh because of the scarf.
Speaker 1: Because of the scarf that I was waiting for Mel
Speaker 1: to be a witch.
Speaker 2: Oh honestly, that would have made sense, except theo doesn't
Speaker 2: quite fit the hot Frosty.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, hot frosties can also let themselves go
Speaker 1: a little bit like what once he can eat whatever
Speaker 1: he wants and doesn't have to worry about melting from
Speaker 1: the inside. If he has a cup of hot cocoa.
Speaker 1: He gets that shit hard.
Speaker 2: Ah. It was so funny because like genuinely, she walks in,
Speaker 2: she says hi to both of them. She hands them
Speaker 2: both sandwiches, and the guy I was like, oh, look,
Speaker 2: this movie has a gay.
Speaker 1: Person in it.
Speaker 2: He's like, thanks for the turkey sandwich, girl. And then
Speaker 2: he goes to like decorate a mannequin and I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: that's sweet. And then we find out that this is
Speaker 2: a married couple and a woman looks over at him
Speaker 2: and he's like, I have the man of my dreams,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, girl, you need to reevaluate your dreams
Speaker 2: because that is a hoca sexual.
Speaker 1: I did not notice that, but I was really caught
Speaker 1: up in my own storytelling of like, is he a
Speaker 1: past hot frosty? Is this? Does this happen in the
Speaker 1: town like every twenty five years or something like it?
Speaker 1: It's a brig of Dune, but god Dune situation.
Speaker 2: It's also like, did you notice she handed them our
Speaker 2: two lunch orders? Yours is the turkey sandwich with no
Speaker 2: mao and mine is the turkey sandwich with a disgusting
Speaker 2: amount of mayo.
Speaker 1: That's true. I didn't think of that.
Speaker 2: This movie really was made for us.
Speaker 1: We would be excellent, like vintage clothing store boutique owners
Speaker 1: in like a star's hollow.
Speaker 2: Honestly, we should move to a small town in Vermont,
Speaker 2: open a clothing store, pretend we're a married couple, and
Speaker 2: just have everyone talk about us and like like just
Speaker 2: be like that's my man. I love my man.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, girl.
Speaker 2: You just walk around with like an ascot and like funglasses.
Speaker 1: Fun, I have to grow one of those pencil mustaches.
Speaker 2: YEA dressed like John Waters.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, be a full John Waters and.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be like, you would not believe the
Speaker 2: sex we have And they're all like, no, we wouldn't,
Speaker 2: we really would. We actually don't believe you to describe
Speaker 2: it to us, because we want to make sure you
Speaker 2: know what sex is.
Speaker 1: You're like, well, every night we watch Gilmore girls together.
Speaker 1: That's it, right?
Speaker 2: Can I tell you my husband Paul has never once
Speaker 2: looked at another woman, not once. He does love a
Speaker 2: Sandra Bullock movie. But you know what everyone's you know
Speaker 2: what I'm.
Speaker 1: Saying, girl, You know what I'm saying, girls the right ladies.
Speaker 1: That's actually like a like an alternative comedy starring the
Speaker 1: two of us. But also it could be like like
Speaker 1: Rachel Sennet and like and Matt Rogers, Jean Early, Yeah,
Speaker 1: John and Cape Berland Talla Scola.
Speaker 2: So she gets so okay, So the lady and her
Speaker 2: gay husband, her tragically gay husband living a lie in
Speaker 2: this tip small town, give her a scarf. It is
Speaker 2: the weirdest gift, Paul. She comes in and she brings
Speaker 2: them lunch. They're like, hey, are you still freezing cold?
Speaker 2: And you're freezing cold? And she's like yeah, so what,
Speaker 2: no big deal. I'm depressed. And she's like, I have
Speaker 2: just the thing for you. She goes into the back
Speaker 2: and she brings out this like lovely red scarf. But
Speaker 2: I mean it's just a red scarf. There's nothing's fancy
Speaker 2: or special about it. And she's like, this was given
Speaker 2: to me by my true love over there, and the
Speaker 2: true love is like, girl, I knitted it too, bitch.
Speaker 1: Don't forget.
Speaker 2: I found it on Fire Island. Can you believe that.
Speaker 1: It was just in the pines? I said, girl, you
Speaker 1: don't belong in the bramble. You belong around my neck.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I really want to do this as like an experiment.
Speaker 2: I want to move a small town of her mom
Speaker 2: freaks them all out.
Speaker 1: See what we can get done.
Speaker 2: And so she gives you the scarf and she's like,
Speaker 2: once upon a time, my man gave me this, and
Speaker 2: I found the love of my life. And she points
Speaker 2: to the gay man behind the counter and she's like,
Speaker 2: and maybe one day you will find another love of
Speaker 2: your life. I don't actually remember the scene because I
Speaker 2: was so busy fixated on the what this marriage is
Speaker 2: between these two people. But like that scarf apparently is magic.
Speaker 2: Does that woman know that scarf is magic? When she
Speaker 2: hands it to Lacy Shabert, I asked this of you, Paul.
Speaker 1: I feel like this actress is I don't know her name.
Speaker 1: I apologize, but she because she's not Sharon Lawrence, and
Speaker 1: I kept thinking she was Sharon Lawrence, which is not
Speaker 1: Sharon Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Lawrence you're right.
Speaker 1: I feel like she is intentionally playing the mystery. You know,
Speaker 1: as an actor, you're supposed to have your character supposed
Speaker 1: to have a secret. Yes, that's that's that character's secret,
Speaker 1: whether or not she knew it was magic when she
Speaker 1: gave it to her.
Speaker 2: Oh, because she does give off witchie vibes.
Speaker 1: She does. I bet a lot of characters, like side
Speaker 1: characters in these movies do actually.
Speaker 2: No the Hallmark ones. They can't give off witchie vibes.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty Christian channel.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha, gotcha? Well then I'm glad Netflix is getting
Speaker 1: it on the fun I'm gonna jump ahead for a second,
Speaker 1: right to the very end. We cannot express to the
Speaker 1: listeners who have not seen this movie how fast this
Speaker 1: town accepts the fact that he is a snow sculpture
Speaker 1: come to life.
Speaker 2: It's so funny it is.
Speaker 1: It's Katie Mixon, who people would know from like Eastbound
Speaker 1: and Down or American Housewife Like. She plays like kind
Speaker 1: of Kathy's best friend. She's also the doctor. At one point,
Speaker 1: one of the cops is like, what's going on with him?
Speaker 1: And she's like, he's made of snow? Like wait, what?
Speaker 2: What? That will it's a joke in the movie, like
Speaker 2: she tells the whole town. Lacy Shabt is like, guys,
Speaker 2: I have something crazy to tell you. He's a snowman
Speaker 2: come to life. I'll just go okay, okay, You're like,
Speaker 2: wait what that's it? That's all you needed? And like
Speaker 2: and Laura Holly's like, yeah, we're good. But that that's
Speaker 2: why with us.
Speaker 1: By the way, Lauren Holly's Lauren Holly actually sculpted him,
Speaker 1: now that I think about it.
Speaker 2: Dred percent one of those cougars, one of those horny
Speaker 2: ass cougars.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is this a Golden Girls situation where like seven like
Speaker 2: women of a certain age move to this town together
Speaker 2: to buy like cheap property and make it fabulous. And
Speaker 2: that's that's where that like little girl group comes from.
Speaker 1: Netflix executives, if you are, if you are listening, green
Speaker 1: light that for next Christmas immediately.
Speaker 2: Immediately, Like I need to know the story of Lauren
Speaker 2: Holly and the Cougar Crew. Yeah, Hey, she's gorgeous. B
Speaker 2: she's fabulously wealthy, Like she lives like mcmanson in this
Speaker 2: town and I'm like, am I crazy? Or was her
Speaker 2: style pretty amazing? The interior decor of that house was
Speaker 2: actually amazed, Like, go back and watch and look at
Speaker 2: those paintings in that woman's house or the artwork. It
Speaker 2: is so good.
Speaker 1: I had a brief moment when she came on screen
Speaker 1: of thinking she was Christina Hendrix for just this like
Speaker 1: a split second, and I was like, we cannot be
Speaker 1: casting Christina Hendrix as a cougar. The woman is is she?
Speaker 1: I don't think she's fifty, Like, we cannot. And then
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wait, it's Lauren Holly. That's okay.
Speaker 2: Also, we desperately now need a movie where Lauren Holly
Speaker 2: plays Christina Hendrix's mother. Yeah, make it happen, Make it happen.
Speaker 1: We are just giving ideas for free.
Speaker 2: Here. Let's them both on the Gilded Age as like
Speaker 2: an older mother daughter duo who are both widow and
Speaker 2: fabulously wealthy. I need I need this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. So she gets the scarf, she goes, she
Speaker 1: puts it on hot frosty. He comes to life, and
Speaker 1: he accidentally like streaks through the town because he doesn't
Speaker 1: have any clothes on, right, and there is a great
Speaker 1: runner because he's seen by this elderly couple and just
Speaker 1: the amount of jokes they get out of the fact
Speaker 1: that this elderly woman saw hot Frosty's dick and enjoyed
Speaker 1: what she saw is excellent.
Speaker 2: Everything about those two actors is excellent. They're like a
Speaker 2: little comedy duo. So he faints away, He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: naked man in the town square. Oh. And he faints away,
Speaker 2: and she's like, don't worry, I'll chase him down. She
Speaker 2: just chases him down.
Speaker 1: Later, the cops are looking for an eyewitness and one
Speaker 1: of them is like, ethel and the other one goes
Speaker 1: she wouldn't say, just kept insisting he was doing a
Speaker 1: public service.
Speaker 2: Well, and then later another the cop again goes up
Speaker 2: to Lacey. Shavert shows her like a police sketch drawing,
Speaker 2: and the man of the couple gave us this description,
Speaker 2: and she's like, what did the woman give you? She's like,
Speaker 2: we needed a description of his face. Get it from
Speaker 2: her to get it for her.
Speaker 1: The movie is funny. It's genuinely funny.
Speaker 2: One hundred.
Speaker 1: They also have this about the streaking. They had this
Speaker 1: great line because they're trying to figure out who it
Speaker 1: could be, and one of them is like, I don't
Speaker 1: think the mayor went streaking. He's got a bad hip.
Speaker 1: And I have to say, you don't think about the
Speaker 1: physical requirements of streaking. You don't think about that fact.
Speaker 1: You have to be spry. You can't just be naked.
Speaker 2: It's also like ten degrees out the amount his penis
Speaker 2: has to be amazing for it to like still look
Speaker 2: good in ten degree would although I guess in Frosty parlance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in hot Frosty parlance, that's that's his natural temperature, that's.
Speaker 2: Actually gonna be that's actually gonna be in his favor.
Speaker 2: So good for them, Good for them. So okay, So
Speaker 2: the next morning, Hot Frosty, it's it is the movie off.
Speaker 2: Hot Frosty like accidentally breaks into the vintage store, Like
Speaker 2: he falls through the window and breaks the window and
Speaker 2: lands in the store and steals like a pair of
Speaker 2: overalls that have the name Jack on them and some boots.
Speaker 2: Now he's dressed. He's wandering through town. He finds Lacey
Speaker 2: Shebert and you go, it's you And she's like, it's me,
Speaker 2: who the fuck are you? And she's like we met
Speaker 2: last night. I'm the snowman. And she's like okay, nice boy,
Speaker 2: and she's like takes pity on him, and she's like,
Speaker 2: are you hungry? I own the diner. Come on inside,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you something to eat so hot fat.
Speaker 2: So she brings him inside, she tries to take care
Speaker 2: of him.
Speaker 1: Uh okay. So, by the way, props to Isaac, her
Speaker 1: head cook, who is the only person in this whole movie,
Speaker 1: when she brings this guy in who in the real
Speaker 1: world is acting utterly insane, and he goes, you brought
Speaker 1: him inside to your place of business, like correct, Isaac
Speaker 1: is correct? All right. So the cops played by Craig
Speaker 1: Robinson and Joela Truglio start looking for the streaker. Lacy
Speaker 1: Shavert kind of figures out that oh, they're looking for him,
Speaker 1: but she kind of is charmed by him and he
Speaker 1: seems harmless, so she's like, I'm gonna hide you in
Speaker 1: my house.
Speaker 2: Dastin Milligan does a great job of being like unassuming
Speaker 2: and like seemingly vulnerable even though he is this like
Speaker 2: jacked dude. Yeah, kudos, kudos.
Speaker 1: So she's basically like, you have to stay inside, and
Speaker 1: he decides to start like watching TV. And one of
Speaker 1: the magical parts of Hot Frosty is that he can
Speaker 1: watch something on television like a DIY show on TV,
Speaker 1: and he will understand how to do it. His brain
Speaker 1: works differently.
Speaker 2: That is when you get splashed. This is the sequence.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, now we're just doing splash where
Speaker 2: she learns the entire of the English language and entirety
Speaker 2: of the English language from watching TV in a store.
Speaker 1: See. I thought of the fifth element when Leelu learned
Speaker 1: about war and freaked out but didn't learn about war
Speaker 1: crucially during like the a's of the Encyclopedia for the
Speaker 1: American Revolution learned about it in the w's somehow didn't.
Speaker 1: The Twain didn't meet there. So he goes about and
Speaker 1: he starts cooking, and he starts fixing her house.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's good that she left him alone with
Speaker 2: daytime TV, because if you're gonna learn from from any TV,
Speaker 2: you really want to learn from all the cooking shows,
Speaker 2: all the house shows like well Done.
Speaker 1: I do have a note about him cooking because he
Speaker 1: makes her eggnog and he not only is able to
Speaker 1: grate fresh nutmeg, which means he somehow got fresh nutmeg
Speaker 1: or she just has fresh nutmeg in the house. He
Speaker 1: also has one of those little pigmy graders for the
Speaker 1: fresh nutmeg. Mm hmm Erica three years running. I've been
Speaker 1: trying to find fresh nutmeg in New York City and
Speaker 1: I cannot find it. Really, But Hope Springs, tiny town
Speaker 1: of thirty six people, has fresh nutmeg on the rag.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what they grow there, that's where they comes from.
Speaker 2: It is the fresh nutmeg capital of the Northeastern United States.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha? Good to know, Good to know.
Speaker 2: It never occurred to me. You can't find fresh nutmeg
Speaker 2: like I can't find it. Doesn't just have fresh nutmeg
Speaker 2: during the holidays. Nope, that's shocking.
Speaker 1: Unless I'm just an idiot and looking for it in
Speaker 1: the wrong place.
Speaker 2: But I like, are you looking for it? To Dwayne Read,
Speaker 2: They're not going to have it.
Speaker 1: I keep looking for it at the dentist and he
Speaker 1: keeps saying, why are you looking here? And I'm because
Speaker 1: I need nutmeg.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite moments during the TV watching montage
Speaker 2: is when oh two actually one. They keep making references
Speaker 2: to other Netflix holiday films, which is pretty funny. Like
Speaker 2: at one point she calls She's like, what am I
Speaker 2: the Queen of Valdovia? And I was like, that's way
Speaker 2: too specific things today, So I googled it and it
Speaker 2: turns out that is a reference to another holiday like
Speaker 2: Netflix Holiday movie.
Speaker 1: They're creating their own universe.
Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent. They showed clips from that Jennifer
Speaker 2: Coolidge one that she made a few years ago with
Speaker 2: Michael Uri. And then at one point he's watching TV
Speaker 2: and they show a clip from the Lindsay Lohan one
Speaker 2: where Lindsay Lohan has amnesia, and it's it's both It
Speaker 2: works for two reasons. One, it's hilarious because then Lacy
Speaker 2: Shivert goes, oh, that's funny. She looks just like a
Speaker 2: girl I went to high school with, excellent. And then
Speaker 2: also it's a way for her to explain amnesia to
Speaker 2: hot Frosty that's what she thinks he has. Yeah, She's like,
Speaker 2: I think you have what that woman has. You can't
Speaker 2: remember who you really are. And then finally, at one
Speaker 2: point when he's watching TV all day, he ends up
Speaker 2: watching an old version of No Speratu, like the nineteen
Speaker 2: thirty version of Osparatu, and it leads to a scene
Speaker 2: that should not be this funny, and it's justin Milligan
Speaker 2: wandering the house looking for vampires. Yeah, holding like I'm
Speaker 2: not even sure what he's holding, like a like a
Speaker 2: like a fire poker made a fire poker, and a
Speaker 2: like a lamp, and he's a cross out of them
Speaker 2: to make sure that he scares away all the vampires. Excellent,
Speaker 2: no notes.
Speaker 1: Uh So, eventually he wants to go outside. He's a
Speaker 1: real boy, he wants to experience the world. He winds
Speaker 1: up somehow. I don't remember how helping out at the school,
Speaker 1: because you know, local high schools just allow strange men
Speaker 1: to supervise children.
Speaker 2: I remember how he starts fixing her roof. He starts
Speaker 2: fixing Lacy she Bear's roof, but of course, because he's hot, frosty,
Speaker 2: he's doing it shirtless because he's hot, even though it's
Speaker 2: ten degrees out. Lauren Hawley drives by, sees the insane
Speaker 2: body on this guy on this repair man crashes her car.
Speaker 2: He does a thing where he tries to help push
Speaker 2: her car out of the ditch that she's in, but
Speaker 2: it's an extended butt sex joke.
Speaker 1: Or a doggie style joke. Speak clear, what is excellent?
Speaker 2: And then she invites him to her house where she
Speaker 2: invites all the Cougar crew over so they can watch
Speaker 2: him shirtless. Maybe no, I think he's a shirt on
Speaker 2: put up like a lamp or whatever, like like a
Speaker 2: light fixture in her house. This entire sequence is what
Speaker 2: won me over. Honestly, this is the moment I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I love everything about this movie I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm watching this every year.
Speaker 2: That butt sex joke will not ever not be funny.
Speaker 1: So he winds up starting to help out at the school.
Speaker 1: All the kids love him. They're getting ready for the
Speaker 1: big dance. He watches his one kid ask another girl
Speaker 1: to the dance. It's very cute. He decides he really
Speaker 1: wants to ask Kathy out, because as soon as he
Speaker 1: comes to life, he tells Kathy, I love you, and
Speaker 1: she's like, no, you don't. We don't know each other.
Speaker 1: You're weird. But then for some reason like ask him
Speaker 1: to her house. Kathy's survival instincts are low.
Speaker 2: She's trying to hurt herself. Paul. She is she doesn't
Speaker 2: want to live with he, she doesn't want to live.
Speaker 2: She doesn't want to live. She's like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: take this hot drifter into my house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he builds up his courage. He asks her to
Speaker 1: the dance, and at this point in the movie, she's
Speaker 1: so charmed by him that she says yes, like she's
Speaker 1: coming back to life. Right, slowly but surely, hot Frosty
Speaker 1: is breathing life back into this woman whose husband passed away.
Speaker 1: Did you notice it? So they go to the dance.
Speaker 1: Did you notice at the dance all of those kids
Speaker 1: leaving space for Jesus in between them when they were dancing. No,
Speaker 1: they're all dancing like at arms. Like it's very cute
Speaker 1: and honestly true to life because the kids are supposed
Speaker 1: to be like thirteen, Like, they're not like eighteen years old.
Speaker 2: You're old well and are kids? Right? So like, yeah, legit, kids,
Speaker 2: you don't want to make like little kids dance with
Speaker 2: each other?
Speaker 1: Like can you dirty dance?
Speaker 2: Could you grind?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you guys know what grinding is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a there's an unfortunate dance break. I hate
Speaker 2: a dance break, unless unless you are in the film Footlooths.
Speaker 2: Do not give me a dance break. I don't want it.
Speaker 1: Wow, we are on opposite sides of the spectrum here.
Speaker 2: It has to eat to be Footlooths or a terrible movie.
Speaker 2: Like she's all that has to be one of those.
Speaker 1: It has to be a dance movie or a terrible movie,
Speaker 1: like she's all that like a center stage. Obviously we
Speaker 1: love a dance break.
Speaker 2: Oh obviously that's well, the whole movie is just should
Speaker 2: just be dance breaks. But like and then I was
Speaker 2: like I started having this like this like old lady,
Speaker 2: like get off my law, and thought of like, is
Speaker 2: this what the kids are doing now because of TikTok?
Speaker 2: Has TikTok made us all into like people who want
Speaker 2: to dance in tandem with other people? Is that what's happening?
Speaker 1: I don't care for it.
Speaker 2: What happened to the culture?
Speaker 1: As someone who is it pro dance break? I enjoyed
Speaker 1: Dustin Milligan being really energetically bad at it. I really,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you deserve workof of this, you really do,
Speaker 1: because you are. You're very good. I didn't realize you
Speaker 1: were this good. On Shit's Creek you were good, but
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were this good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've seen him in a few things. He's always been
Speaker 2: so funny. Yeah, real quick, I want to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit about Lazy Scheber.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: That bitch is so good at this. She can do
Speaker 2: this shit in her sleep. She's more than one time
Speaker 2: throughout the movie. She's like when he's like I love you,
Speaker 2: She's like, don't say that, and he's like, why not,
Speaker 2: I do I love you? And she's like is then
Speaker 2: she tries to the concept of love and how you
Speaker 2: can fall slowly in love with someone and you should
Speaker 2: like like she did with her husband, and then like
Speaker 2: you can lose them and blah blah blah. She does
Speaker 2: this thing with her face where she does the unshed
Speaker 2: tears where yeah, she conjures up a full eye full
Speaker 2: of tears but does not shed them, will not blink
Speaker 2: as she knows. She knows the second the camera hits
Speaker 2: her that the light is gonna glint off those tears
Speaker 2: and she's gonna look incredible. And I'm like, yeah, you,
Speaker 2: my dear, are a master craftsman. You are so good
Speaker 2: at this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The two of them are excellent.
Speaker 2: The two of them are excellent in very different ways.
Speaker 2: Like he's excellent in a very he's a comedic, like
Speaker 2: he's got the chops right, he's got like the timing
Speaker 2: and everything, which she has is like truly like gifted
Speaker 2: child actor energy where she genuinely can do anything. She's
Speaker 2: not a Meryl Streep. She's not gonna You're not gonna
Speaker 2: lose her right in the role, right like you're always
Speaker 2: gonna see Lacey Shebert. But like, fucking hell, she can
Speaker 2: do anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually, I take it back, because me and she is
Speaker 2: the best one in Mean Girls. Honestly, the best one,
Speaker 2: I think so I think. Oh, I think Gretchen Wiener
Speaker 2: is the best one in Mean Girls.
Speaker 1: You're talking about performance wise or best like character performance wise?
Speaker 1: Uh No, I still give that to Rachel McAdams.
Speaker 2: Maje m Adams is great. But watch it again, Paul,
Speaker 2: I believe, I believe her father, the inventor of toaster Strudle,
Speaker 2: would agree with me.
Speaker 1: All right. So during the dance, they start doing this
Speaker 1: choreographed dance and he starts to overheat. There's an ongoing
Speaker 1: plot that like, if hot Frosty gets too hot, he
Speaker 1: starts to melt like. He doesn't deal well with heat because,
Speaker 1: in the immortal words of Katie Mixon, he's made of snow.
Speaker 1: So she takes him out into the cold night and
Speaker 1: they cool down and they almost kiss, but they don't
Speaker 1: quite kiss.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is again I started to fall in love
Speaker 2: with this movie during Cougertown and now I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 2: this movie's really good. Because she goes in to kiss
Speaker 2: him and he pulls back and he's like, I don't
Speaker 2: know how much longer I'm going to be here, Like
Speaker 2: I'm not a real person and I'm gonna melt eventually,
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to survive past the winterby Frosty melts.
Speaker 2: And he's like he looks at her and he's like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be someone that you love and
Speaker 2: lose again, Like you don't deserve that. And I was like,
Speaker 2: what is this for me? I get why that person
Speaker 2: the GQ writer cried during Hot Frosty because that shit
Speaker 2: hit me. I was like, Oh, that's real, that's real,
Speaker 2: and she's like and she The funny thing is to
Speaker 2: look at Ladyshibert's face is like, Babe, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: fall in love with you. I just want I just
Speaker 2: want that Hot Frosty.
Speaker 1: D talk about that would melt his d right off
Speaker 1: if he starts having sex with her.
Speaker 2: Also I was thinking that too. I was like, they
Speaker 2: can't actually get intimate because he will melt. But also
Speaker 2: like and I.
Speaker 1: Was getting sucked by an icicle. That's not true.
Speaker 2: Fun, that's how they said. Like everyone who touches him
Speaker 2: at any point in the movie is like, ooh, he's
Speaker 2: freezing cold. Yeah, and he's like eating ice. That's how
Speaker 2: he that's all He eats his ice. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like putting a dildo in the
Speaker 2: freezer and then trying to fuck yourself with it.
Speaker 1: Although you know, I've heard that as it is a thing,
Speaker 1: like I'm not even kidding. That is a thing that
Speaker 1: like it's a sense. So you know what, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: we need to be a little more, a little more
Speaker 1: sex forward, a little more sex positive. We are not
Speaker 1: sex positive enough on this show.
Speaker 2: We are not. Honestly, I'm gonna I'm gonna put my
Speaker 2: vibrator in the seezer and then I will i will
Speaker 2: let everyone know how it works, what if it breaks?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, god, damn it. Yeah, this was a mistake.
Speaker 1: So at the dance right right is where does he
Speaker 1: says this? Basically we realize that Craig Robinson, the chief
Speaker 1: of police, who is like the villain of the show.
Speaker 1: It's like a very Christmas villain, Like he's not a
Speaker 1: bad guy. He just he's over zealous local cop.
Speaker 2: I mean the genius of casting Craig Robinson in this
Speaker 2: role because it's it's it's the kind of character that
Speaker 2: like it's impossible to make you love them and but
Speaker 2: genuinely like, oh, we're gonna put the world's teddy Bear.
Speaker 1: Also point of order one of the things that they're like.
Speaker 1: He once tried to arrest people from making noise in
Speaker 1: a movie theater, and I was like, I seen, where's
Speaker 1: the problem.
Speaker 2: He didn't try. He actually arrested someone for unwrapping candy
Speaker 2: in a movie.
Speaker 1: Good. Let me tell you. I went to see Gypsy
Speaker 1: this past week. You're gonna go see it on a week.
Speaker 1: We had to go in separate nights for life reasons.
Speaker 1: The person behind me at the beginning of the second
Speaker 1: act sits back down and they have gotten themselves a
Speaker 1: cocktail and they start shaking the ice. While Audra McDonald
Speaker 1: is on stage, they are shaking ice in my ear.
Speaker 1: I whip around, as does my husband, who's sitting next
Speaker 1: to me. We give him the dirtiest look and his
Speaker 1: wife sees us, reaches over, grabs the thing and rips
Speaker 1: it out of his hand and we go what she goes.
Speaker 1: You're annoying everybody, and it's like arrestable offense.
Speaker 2: Honestly, though, no, because that woman, that woman deserves. That
Speaker 2: woman deserves a break.
Speaker 1: Yeah she is.
Speaker 2: She caught onto it that quickly. That means that she
Speaker 2: is living a life that is pretty difficult.
Speaker 1: He was also chewing the ice. He was like slurping
Speaker 1: the ice down and chewing it so everyone could hear
Speaker 1: it while Audra McDonald was on stage.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that poor woman. Honestly, all I can
Speaker 2: think about is that woman in her life.
Speaker 1: Anyway, if you want to hear more about Gypsy, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it in the next Patreon. Okay, so backed
Speaker 1: out Frosty. He gets arrested. Craig Robinson locks him up.
Speaker 1: It's very funny. He decides he's like it. He's an
Speaker 1: FBI plant because he thinks he burned his finger his
Speaker 1: fingerprints off because he's again a melting Frosty. Inside the
Speaker 1: police station, he throws him in the in the one
Speaker 1: cell at this very big town. Lacy Sabert shows up
Speaker 1: and she's like, oh my god, you have to let
Speaker 1: him out. He can't. He can't deal with the heat
Speaker 1: very well.
Speaker 2: You know, and that's congratulations, that's he nailed a shabt.
Speaker 1: She can't get him out and she starts to panic.
Speaker 1: Craig Robinson sets bail at two thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars, an enormous amount of money.
Speaker 1: An enormous amount of money. She runs to the restaurant,
Speaker 1: and this is when everyone in town finds out that
Speaker 1: Hot Frosty was Cold Frosty a mere few nights ago, right,
Speaker 1: And then okay, I bet there were.
Speaker 2: So many notes at Netflix headquarters when the script came
Speaker 2: in and the bail was set at like twenty thousand dollars, yeah,
Speaker 2: and they were like, yeah, that seems like a reasonable
Speaker 2: amount of money for people to have on hand, right,
Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars. And then someone who's like an intern
Speaker 2: was like, guys, that's that's not what people make. What
Speaker 2: could have been at a cost ten dollars, yeah, in
Speaker 2: the rest of America, can we maybe lower the bail amount?
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, so twenty twenty thousand is too much?
Speaker 2: Ten thousand, ten thousand, I mean I have that in
Speaker 2: my pockets right now. And the intern was like, it's
Speaker 2: a small town and she runs a diner that charges
Speaker 2: like a nickel for a cup of coffee. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: two thousand was the amount they all like settled on
Speaker 2: as being a quote unquote normal amount of money.
Speaker 1: So she rushes to the diner. She doesn't have enough,
Speaker 1: but the whole town, all thirty six of them, swarmed
Speaker 1: the police station because they want a free Hot Frosty
Speaker 1: from the cell. They pass around a hat. They try
Speaker 1: to gather enough money. They're ten dollars now they're doing it.
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful life.
Speaker 1: Yep. The kid that Hot Frosty saw ask this girl
Speaker 1: to the dance comes forward. He gives the last ten dollars,
Speaker 1: and it turns out it's Craig Robinson's son. They managed
Speaker 1: to drag Hot Frosty out and they drop him. They
Speaker 1: try to get him into a snow drift, which it
Speaker 1: could not look less like snow. It looks like they
Speaker 1: drop himTo a pile of parmesan cheese.
Speaker 2: There's a point in the movie, like after the dance,
Speaker 2: where he runs outside and he like throws snow on
Speaker 2: himself to like hew off. It genuinely looks like glitter.
Speaker 2: It does not look like snow at all. So he's
Speaker 2: lying in this snow bank. He actually dies. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna do something better with him dying.
Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna have him like turned back
Speaker 2: into a snowman and melt. Like Yeah, it's Netflix. They
Speaker 2: have the money. They have the money to do a
Speaker 2: little bit of a Like they've spent nothing on this
Speaker 2: movie already, Like this movie costs two dollars to make,
Speaker 2: the biggest expense they had was probably Lacey Shabert, So like,
Speaker 2: why not just throw in like a little bit of
Speaker 2: CGI money to have him like actually melt and disappear
Speaker 2: and just have the scarf at the end, Yeah, be
Speaker 2: like left on the snow. Because what happens is Dustin Milligan,
Speaker 2: human man falls down in the snow. People surround him
Speaker 2: and stare at him, and like Lazy Shibert like tries
Speaker 2: to revive him. She's and Katie Mixon does this thing
Speaker 2: where she's like I can't intubate a snowman, so Lazy
Speaker 2: Shibert kisses him to like revive him, and he just dies.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's weird that he's dying in a
Speaker 2: human body. It's just weird. And then they all like
Speaker 2: Lazy Shabert like slowly like takes the scarf off of him,
Speaker 2: and she like walks away slowly, like like a widow's
Speaker 2: walk away, Like you know what it was, Honestly, it's
Speaker 2: that walk away at the end of West Side Story,
Speaker 2: she's like holding Tony's jacket and she's just like walk away.
Speaker 2: Katie Moxon's helping her mix and is helping her yeers
Speaker 2: up place. Yeah, they are doing West Side Story here,
Speaker 2: and then the rest of the town, all thirty six
Speaker 2: of them, turn around and like their back on the
Speaker 2: on the corpse of Hot Frosty really begs the question
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do about that? I think if
Speaker 2: someone says, let the shareff handle it. Damn his credit
Speaker 2: Craig Robinson, the sheriff, does at the end go like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't believe it was real, Like my
Speaker 2: bad I killed Oh no, oh shit, this my actions
Speaker 2: have consequences. So they all turn their back and start
Speaker 2: walking away, so West Side Story and then and they
Speaker 2: hear Katie or whatever the fuck her name is. It's Katie, right,
Speaker 2: said Kathy Kathy, And they turn around and Frosty's alive.
Speaker 2: He's back, and she runs into his arms and she
Speaker 2: hugs him and he goes, I feel really weird. I
Speaker 2: feel like my skin feels like tingly but also it hurts,
Speaker 2: and he like touches his forehead and she feels like
Speaker 2: he's warm, and she goes, you're not frozen anymore. You're alive.
Speaker 1: Now they're doing Pinocchio.
Speaker 2: No, you're cold, that's what you're feeling. You're cold, and
Speaker 2: she puts the scarf back on him, and then they
Speaker 2: make it.
Speaker 1: End of movie.
Speaker 2: I should know, not end of movie, because there's a
Speaker 2: bit at the end where way earlier in the movie
Speaker 2: when he's watching he's watching TV. He sees Hawaii. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he's like, we should go there, and she's like,
Speaker 2: you would melt in a second. In Hawaii. It's all
Speaker 2: hot weather all the time. And the end of the
Speaker 2: movie they are now living together. He and she buys
Speaker 2: them both round trip tickets from New York to Hawaii.
Speaker 2: How much money does this woman have? Earlier in the film,
Speaker 2: she couldn't afford two thousand dollars bail, you know.
Speaker 1: Why, exact question? Round trip round northeast.
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming she has it. She booked a hotel.
Speaker 1: Well maybe not. He won't know.
Speaker 2: Hawaii is notoriously not cheap agreed.
Speaker 1: And also there is a blooper reel which which must
Speaker 1: be acknowledged.
Speaker 2: Truly excellent blooper reel.
Speaker 1: And that is Hot Frosty. Do you have any like
Speaker 1: random observations that you want to throw out there?
Speaker 2: Okay, look, this movie is way sweeter than it needed
Speaker 2: to be. Like I was so into it. Like first
Speaker 2: there's the runner where he's like, I know I'm going
Speaker 2: to die one day, and I don't want you to
Speaker 2: have to relive like losing another love, because I know
Speaker 2: how painful that was for you. And I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, what are these feelings I'm feeling during
Speaker 2: Hot Frosty. And then at the end of the movie,
Speaker 2: they're exchanging Christmas presents and he gives her a book
Speaker 2: about like home repair, so that you can do it together.
Speaker 2: They could fix that house up together. The inscription on
Speaker 2: the book is he writes to her, I figured out
Speaker 2: who your second true love should be. It's you love Frosty.
Speaker 2: And I was like, don't cry, don't cry.
Speaker 1: Do you have a note though, don't try to fix
Speaker 1: your heater yourself. You should call the repairman for that,
Speaker 1: like you want to fix like you know, like a
Speaker 1: banister or something, maybe a chair, absolutely go crazy, roofs, heat, water,
Speaker 1: electric plumbing, get an expert in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that book is very very looks like a
Speaker 2: catalog on how to fix your house, and she manages
