Hi, I'm Brandon. I love lifetime Christmas movies. I'm Patrick Serrano and I am a lifetime movie expert. I'm Dan and I despise lifetime Christmas movies and this is the

lifetime encore podcast. Hello everybody. How are we today? It feels good. It feels good to be here on a Saturday talking about lifetime Christmas movies. Patrick, happy

Saturday to you, buddy. It's been a week. Been quite a week. It's yeah, a lot on your plate. Are you okay? Oh, just my mortal enemy Candace Cameron was coming out hot. That's right. So it's been a it's been a long week following that story, you know, and you know, making sure that we're keeping up with with Candace. Yeah, you got to we got to revise the song. I saw that. What should say? What what should say, Candace Cameron?

But you know what, Patrick, there's the hot news all week, but also knowing that the movies wait for no man. There's movies keep coming out and you can't fall behind because that's a slippery slope, especially heading into Thanksgiving week. How are you doing? Are you? Are you did the week of news? Did it catch up with you? Are you? Are you caught up with the movies?

So had to bus out the screeners this week. Yeah, get ahead of it before Thanksgiving because I want to have a social life, you know, going to things, giveings and friends, giveings and, you know, all the giveings. So had to stay up late some nights and sit on my laptop and watch like in a little tiny box.

And write write them out. But yeah, I think without that luxury, I don't know if I would survive. Yeah, well, the the lifetime, the lifetime screener page is a top notch. Yeah, we talked about it before. It just makes me angry. Home art can't do that for us at the home. I mean, I don't have to watch the lifetime movies. This isn't helped me at all. Yeah, but the home art situation. Man, it's great. It's real nice. So I'm happy that you're doing well, buddy. I know this is this is a lot. We I don't I don't have to watch every day.

I don't have to watch a lifetime Christmas movie. But you do. And you choose to also watch all the home art movies, which is a choice. Are you a like a two a day? Like what are we doing? Are you two movies a day? Is that about right?

I don't even watch them like all in one sitting like I'll do like 20 minutes here, 20 minutes there. Like it is whenever I can. If you just see me like in public, like looking at my phone, I'm probably watching a Christmas movie.

Oh, just walking walk in the streets of Chicago watching a Christmas movie. Yeah, thanks to a fellow fellow. Thanks, fellow. Thanks, fellow. The nice thing about the nice thing about

the video is that I can follow when you're watching it on your phone. At least this is how it is on my iPhone is I can I can swipe and it makes it to where the screen stays with me. And so I can like pull up my notes app and have the movie still going. I can take the notes. That's nice. So really we're really evolving over here with the technology. So that's a nice, the nice feature to have the picture and picture. I like that a lot.

I think we're trying picture and picture picture. Well, for a long time, remember when that came out, picture and picture for TV was fantastic. But I think it's like actually useful. Like picture picture on TV was always like there's a too much going. There's a lot of no one enjoys that over the top of it. It's a man enjoys that. But this is actually helpful because I'd still like a good size. And I have the notes down there and I'm good. I'm good.

We got a home homecoming of reindeer games to talk about today. Is that correct Patrick?

Oh, yeah, this one was very well publicized for lifetime. They had surgery out there doing all the press. You know, she isn't a problematic person. So she didn't really get a lot of traction from the press.

She was there. Yeah, she was there and competing with Lindsey Lohan the same week.

That's right. Trying to do the same like two redheads. Like, what are we going to do? We can't have two redheads on the show. That's too much. But she wrote this one.

Correct. And I think she's also like EP on it. So she was busy with the show. I wish she was in more hallmark. She's great when we see her hallmark. So I'm interested to hear the take on this one.

Yeah, I mean, I think she's doubling down on lifetime. And I don't know if she has a multi-picture geo, but she did do that other one earlier this year where like her husband stole her kids and took them to Greece. And she couldn't get them back. So she's, she's, she's all been there.

We've all been there.

Let's let's say a lifetime.

But lifetime is really all just making movies that relate to as many people as possible. That's their goal. Let's talk. Let's talk about this one, buddy. Let's dive into it. Give Dan the quick 401 on who's who in the.

Good use of 401 one there, buddy.

Yeah, so we have reindeer games homecoming, which starts their drew who we know from Grayson, Adam, either right head, also from Grayson, Adam, he Justin brewing and iconic legend Brian sales.
