0:00.0	I'm Claire Fallon and I'm Emma Gray.
0:23.5	And this is Love to See It, an obsessively detailed recap podcast about reality dating
0:27.8	shows like The Bachelor and other pop culture that makes us laugh, cry, and curse the patriarchy.
0:34.0	We can't live with these shows and we can't live without them, but we can break down every
0:39.0	juicy moment and unpack all the weird messages these shows send us about love, sex, and dating.
0:44.8	Welcome to Love to See It, a podcast about terrible made-for-TV vaguely-fall-themed rom-coms.
1:02.4	For today's bonus episode, we're diving into one of Hallmark's Fall Into Love 2023 movies.

2:17.7	center of the town's economy is the sense I'm getting. Yeah, and perhaps filmed in Toronto. So,
2:24.5	we never know, but it was a mix, a mix of many different, a real mash-up suburban cultures. Yeah,
2:32.9	yeah, exactly. So let's get into this recap, because I really think like the deliciousness of
2:39.2	this film is in the details. This requires a play-by-play. It sure does. First, let's get to the
2:46.0	characters that we have. We have Aaron Allen, who is played by Pascal Hutton, of one calls the
