I watched "Christmas with a Prince" last year and screamed when I saw a degrassi actress. You trained me like a bloodhound and once I spot them I can't look away.
The fact that I can immediately picture half of those gay Degrassi clips is hilarious. Riley looking up the “am I gay” quiz is still one of the funniest, relatable things in that show. The panic was real back then (I was that age in the late 2000s, it was baaaad) but god it’s so funny. We’ve all been there, buddy 😅 You 100% need to watch Make the Yuletide Gay featuring Marco from Degrassi, early gay Christmas movie! It’s notable, for sure, so it could be a next year idea, even if it might not be enough to talk about plot-wise. Groundbreaking, even if it’s very 2000s!
historical christmas (christian) romance is like its own sub-industry. i worked at a library in a conservative county and the amount of nearly identical christian christmas romances we bought every year was INSANE. these ladies who write christian romances sometimes are putting out 3 or 4 books between late october and january 1st
So my parents worked a combined 80 plus years in a hospital, so I notice when hospitals are portrayed in television and film. I just have to say that in Christmas With a Prince, thank God there's an eye chart in the kid's room and not a EKG machine. . .or a IV bag. . .or. . .plastic tubing?
if i saw a picture of the famous dog beethoven without anyone explicitly stating that it was, in fact, beethoven, i would still think it's beethoven because saint bernards and beethoven are intrinsically linked in my brain and i can't see a saint bernard without immediately thinking "oh hey it's beethoven."
Just so everyone knows, Dog Carting is a dog sport and molosser breeds are particularly common in the sport, though dogs of all sizes take part with appropriately sized equipment. So, Beethoven pulling the sleigh is realistic. The flying part, not so much.
Okay but if Letters to Satan Claus really wanted to subvert the genre they should have put Holly in a green outfit and her love interest in red clothes
Thank you for giving me my eric osborne fix for this video at 3:53. He's like the mascot of this channel (his visage hovering like a patron saint in the background) a jane mulcahy video just wouldnt be the same without him
4:42 I suspect the trajectory of the Christmas with a Prince trilogy is a bit of a trope used in Hallmark/Lifetime type movies. I know of at least 3 other film series where the sequence is 1st movie romance, 2nd movie wedding, & 3rd movie baby.
The age gap thing does throw me off a bit in that last movie. Because I'm just sitting here thinking about how I was in elementary school when Craig was already in his late teens and early young adulthood on Degrassi and me and that actress are the same age so...🙃
I was already familiar with Christmas With A Prince because of Kennie JD's video on it EDIT: Oh and to top, the actor who plays the prince (Nick Hounslow) is actually British. He left London at 18 to pursue his career in modeling and acting
Thank you for explaining the entire Beethoven saga as i could not understand how we got from hiding puppies in part 2 to whatever the heck that Christmas one was about. Still not over the fact that Beethoven talks.
my guess is that they accidentally wrote a story that didn't really have anything to do with Beethoven, so they had to make him a character who could talk in order to integrate him into the story. which really shows how much the franchise had gone to the dogs!
calling any teenage hooligan a “vaping teen” is one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen in a syfy movie, i’m gonna say that all the time now lmaooo OMG I COMMENTED THIS RIGHT BEFORE YOU SAID IT but i also thought it reminded me of mean girls just from the clips you’ve shown!!
no bc what's actually insane is that on the day this was posted I was at an airport and there was a dog next to us and the check in people were like "do you know who that is" and we were so confused and IT WAS THE BUSHES BAKED BEANS DOG. anyways I proved your point about Beethoven, got pictures of Duke and even ended up on the same plane as him :)
I remember watching the Beethoven movie at school one day and being so confused by the intensity of the "my dad's dead" scene (which may not have been intense at all, kid brains are weird)
@@jane-mulcahy That would be awesome! I mean, us Minnesotans live close to Canada, that should be grounds to fly you out there to meet everyone, too! 😄
@@jackies6354 it's not out yet, they only just announced that it was going into production. I don't think we know where it's going to air yet, maybe Max since they own Degrassi TGN?
Now, see, if I lived in the same small town as a celebrity animal, I actually do think I would know about it. The novelty would probably wear off quickly, but I do think I would be aware.
A movie I watched call Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas on Hallmark has the exact same problem you complained about in Maple Creek. Who sees someone doing something with someone of the opposite gender, automatically assumes the worst and then just...gives up and leaves? I hate that movie trope so much 😭
It's the middle of the night, I'm recovering from dental surgery, and I am so grateful for this top tier distraction from the constant pain. Thank you. 💀❤
The actor who plays the villain in Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure that you recognized from a season of Supernatural you never watched is in a very funny, very weird movie called Better Off Dead. Not like it’s a tall order but I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it more than Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure.
Omg I love these videos so much. Also, my husband and I were watching degrassi yesterday and it was THE scene with Miles and Tristan. My husband said “hey look! It’s the painting from Jane’s videos” 😂
Seeing the Maple Creek makes me want to go to Mystic Seaport. Maybe I'll find a cute blacksmith. Or maybe he's hanging out in Sturbridge Village. Wow, there's a few outdoor museums near where I live.
your review of beethoven christmas adventure just outed you as not being a trekkie, the villian is robert picardo the fan-favorite holographic doctor AND ALSO the guy who kisses the sexy lady gremlin (and possibly SA'd) in Gremlins 2
this might be more of a halloween thing but the second season takes place in winter so i always think of it during this time - theres an anthology series called Slasher and the second season is has Paula Brancati's character and her friends (one of them played by Kaitlyn Leeb) kill Melinda Shankar's character. Also has Christopher Jacot (Matt Oleander)! It does get really graphic warning but its a fun little series.
I saw the first 2 seasons of that show. Aaron Martin, who produced Degrassi Next Gen, produced that show too & I remember Lauren Collins (Paige) appearing in one episode in the 1st season.
This is an awesome video! Here’s like an answer to your confusion on the blacksmith dude. I lived in Williamsburg va for six years and if I remember correctly there were like actual blacksmiths in cw (colonial Williamsburg) and like my brother had a friend who got an apprenticeship or something (not for like blacksmithing) and started working there. So the idea of someone doing the black smith thing doesn’t seem too far fetched to me lol
idk if you know this already but jump in (the DCOM with corbin bleu and keke palmer) has damien, chantay, AND jane in it?? i'm watching it with my partner right now and we are losing our minds LOL
regarding the "goop" - that looks like it's supposed to be biscuits and gravy, which looks just like that but does taste amazing. on the other hand, if you're making a movie maybe pick a food that looks as good as it is lol
i’m watching the show orphan black and there’s sooo many degrassi actors so i thought of you. first the main characters brother was in degrassi (he was gay and hooked up with riley) then we have sav and emma also show up. who knows, maybe there will be more 😂
The National Tree has always been one of my fav Hallmark holiday movies. Not in a 'so bad it's good way' and not in a 00s nostalgia way. I always found it motivational and the father-son bonding is well executed. I didn't find anything about it 'bad funny.'
I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and say that you, are absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the shoutout to Satan Claus! Really happy you enjoyed it :)
Maple Creek thing, its likely attempting to portray the niche of outdoor living history museums. What a wild extremely specific tourism / education genre of museum.
I didn't get a notification for this, despite having the bell turned on (thanks youtube) so I'm late, but as per usual, this slaps, I love these terrible movies and your commentary on them so much
I had a lot of things to say about these movies but they were all immediately erased when I saw what Diana was making in the maple creek movie. What the hell was that? Was it even food?
Something about the forest fire made me spontaneously laugh out loud. I can't with Christmas in Maple Creek. Clint (I meant Carter, but I dislike him so much I forgot his name😂😂😂) is like all the worst parts of Craig. But Letters to Satan Claus is my on watch list. 😂
the more obscure the better!! i really like your more niche content. i'm getting a little tired of how all the bigger creators on the movie commentary side of youtube tend to cover the same shows and movies over and over again. (which is totally understandable, but also boring at times.) so yeah, please be self-indulgent! happy holidays!
Jake Epstein is easily one of the worst Degrassi actors imo. every single line he says is delivered like someone has cue cards behind the camera, and I genuinely love how charmed you are by him. it's humbling to the hater in me
Jake left for Montana already?! Without even packing??? I hope he gave you all his money first! Anyway, now that Jake's gone... I'd love to see you cover more SyFy Degrassi (or other themed) films! I'll definitely watch Letters to Satan Claus!
I find the Hannakuah movies on Hallmark/Lifetime - though not the best movies ever made, of course - are still way better than the Christmas ones. I say this as someone who watches at least all the Hallmark Christmas movies every year, or at least a large portion of them. Jake Epstine was also in the Eight Gifts of Hannakuah on Hallmark in 2021, and I really liked that as well. Edit to add: I saw Christmas With. a Prince, and as someone who's had multiple surgeries, that kid looked way too good for someone who just had an operation. After my last one in 2021, I slept the whole day and most of the second one.
I am so confused by the movie about the tree. So they put the tree on the back of their truck. It’s already been pulled out of the ground. How the fuck are they gonna cut it down???
This is the best holiday gift you could have given us Jane
Chad Pringle is the funniest character name a Christmas movie could have
I went to school with a dude named Chad Pringle 😂 really funny. Good guy.
Oh I’m sat.
ASHLEYYYY
Oh hey it’s ashley norton from the youtube channel ashley norton
I kept trying to figure out if the lead of maple creek was madelaine petsch or sadie sink so imagine my shock when it was a secret third person 😂
haha a third redhead has hit the film industry
I looked her up and I thought she was Liana Liberato😂😂
I watched "Christmas with a Prince" last year and screamed when I saw a degrassi actress. You trained me like a bloodhound and once I spot them I can't look away.
Melinda is in another Christmas movie as a jealous bridesmaid. Very weird movie and weird role
I laughed my ass off when Emma said “No…one FELL on her”.

The flimsy premises they make entire films out of for Christmas is always astounding. I’m rock. This is tree. We move it. Watch for at least an hour
“Who doesn’t neuter a dog when they adopt it” Thank You!!
The Christmassy small town being called Ornaments is so delightful, I love that
if i saw a picture of the famous dog beethoven without anyone explicitly stating that it was, in fact, beethoven, i would still think it's beethoven because saint bernards and beethoven are intrinsically linked in my brain and i can't see a saint bernard without immediately thinking "oh hey it's beethoven."
a new jane mulcahy video feels like a personal reward for finishing all my uni finals lol
a new jane mulcahy video feels like a personal reward for finishing all my editing!
Honestly tho I finished my finals like an hour before the video dropped
I saw “letters to Satan claus” when it first came out. I was SHOCKED to see Emma in it. And playing the mayor? Amazing, no notes.
I love this Degrassi series so much. I’m seated for every single one
Just so everyone knows, Dog Carting is a dog sport and molosser breeds are particularly common in the sport, though dogs of all sizes take part with appropriately sized equipment. So, Beethoven pulling the sleigh is realistic. The flying part, not so much.

it's so true
I was LITERALLY just thinking that I needed a new video to watch to get me through work! I'm so excited for this.
"the guy from the nanny" dont disrespect mr sheffield like that😂😂
4:42 I suspect the trajectory of the Christmas with a Prince trilogy is a bit of a trope used in Hallmark/Lifetime type movies. I know of at least 3 other film series where the sequence is 1st movie romance, 2nd movie wedding, & 3rd movie baby.
OMG the plastic surgery prince! As soon as you said it, I couldn't unsee the resemblance to Sarper from 90 Day Fiance 😅
The age gap thing does throw me off a bit in that last movie. Because I'm just sitting here thinking about how I was in elementary school when Craig was already in his late teens and early young adulthood on Degrassi and me and that actress are the same age so...🙃
I was already familiar with Christmas With A Prince because of Kennie JD's video on it
EDIT: Oh and to top, the actor who plays the prince (Nick Hounslow) is actually British. He left London at 18 to pursue his career in modeling and acting
oh I didn't know she had made a video about it! I'll have to watch
Side note: Jake Epstein was in the touring cast of Spring Awakening like 10 years ago. He truly is a talented singer and performer.

Okay, but 'guy falls from a tree and hits every branch on the way down joke' is a timeless classic. You could even say it's evergreen.
calling any teenage hooligan a “vaping teen” is one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen in a syfy movie, i’m gonna say that all the time now lmaooo
OMG I COMMENTED THIS RIGHT BEFORE YOU SAID IT but i also thought it reminded me of mean girls just from the clips you’ve shown!!
I would genuinely pay money for the gay Degrassi folder
no bc what's actually insane is that on the day this was posted I was at an airport and there was a dog next to us and the check in people were like "do you know who that is" and we were so confused and IT WAS THE BUSHES BAKED BEANS DOG. anyways I proved your point about Beethoven, got pictures of Duke and even ended up on the same plane as him :)
omg 🥺🥺🥺
"Not now babe, another Jane Mulcahy bad movies with Degrassi actors video just dropped"
I'm so excited for 2024 with your channel Jane! You have such great commentary, I'm so excited for your projects!
Thank you for the sweet words of our little wacky Hellmark movie!
📬😈🎅🏻
I'm honored! I meant everything I said. Congrats on creating such a Christmas classic
🥰🥰🥰
I'm obsessed with the Beethoven section of this video. You unlocked crazy memories for me.
I remember watching the Beethoven movie at school one day and being so confused by the intensity of the "my dad's dead" scene (which may not have been intense at all, kid brains are weird)
Yay! I love this! They announced a 3-part Degrassi docu-series coming soon last week!! 🎉❤ I thought of you when I heard the news! 😄
I know I want to be in it 😭😭😭😭
@@jane-mulcahy That would be awesome! I mean, us Minnesotans live close to Canada, that should be grounds to fly you out there to meet everyone, too! 😄
How did I miss this?! Where can we watch it??
@@jackies6354 it's not out yet, they only just announced that it was going into production. I don't think we know where it's going to air yet, maybe Max since they own Degrassi TGN?
@@jane-mulcahy Well whatever it takes I’m watching 😂
Now, see, if I lived in the same small town as a celebrity animal, I actually do think I would know about it. The novelty would probably wear off quickly, but I do think I would be aware.
Idyllwild, CA has a dog mayor and everyone is very very aware of his celebrity status haha
wonderful to listen to this while finishing up finals season!
I can't believe some people have to take finals... I have taken my grad privilege for granted
😭😭 to be fair its my last year so i'll be free soon! @@jane-mulcahy

Not like it’s a tall order but I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it more than Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure.
Charles de Mar 😂😂😂😂 That movie is great- so many funny quotes! He also was in revenge of the nerds
The satan claus one is a good example of people being completely unable to grasp satire
Jane I'm so sorry I know degrassi isn't your channel theme but every time I eat these videos up thank you so much for this christmas gift
Omg I love these videos so much. Also, my husband and I were watching degrassi yesterday and it was THE scene with Miles and Tristan. My husband said “hey look! It’s the painting from Jane’s videos” 😂
the clip from That Darn Cat caught me so off guard Jane you have truly seen everything
😂 it's my mom's favorite, that's the only reason I know it! a truly great animal-based kids movie. largely because the cat doesn't talk!
@@jane-mulcahy same here! my mom showed it to me when I was a kid and we rewatched recently, definitely a great comedy
Seeing the Maple Creek makes me want to go to Mystic Seaport. Maybe I'll find a cute blacksmith. Or maybe he's hanging out in Sturbridge Village. Wow, there's a few outdoor museums near where I live.
perfect video to have an existential crisis about college finals to!
my heart goes out to those still in college. truly braver than any US marine
your review of beethoven christmas adventure just outed you as not being a trekkie, the villian is robert picardo the fan-favorite holographic doctor AND ALSO the guy who kisses the sexy lady gremlin (and possibly SA'd) in Gremlins 2
listen I have only seen the original series because that's the one my dad likes
jumpscared by the white house tree lady being maggie from leverage.... my own personal degrassi moment
"Canadian country singer" is such a funny subgenre...literally the entire country is in the north
Country /=/ southern lol
I didn't know how much I needed this video until you released it. Thank you!
yayyyy ^_^ i’ve been nursing my wounds from this semester with teen dramas so this is the perfect chance to get back to my roots
Genuinely you are my favorite RUclipsr

Thank you for putting me in a festive mood, Jane, I couldn't have done it without you and Degrassi!
There’s just something about your voice that is so soothing. Keep doing your thing, I love it.
Didn't know I needed this til it happened upon me through the magical spirit of christmas.
the cursed food looks like cream of mushroom soup but maybe im tripping
somebody else said biscuits and gravy, which is plausible enough except I swear she calls it something different in the movie
@@jane-mulcahy i suppose the goop will just have to remain a mystery
this is such a specific title im so intrigued
"Please don't give me that 'War on Christmas' look, Chris-ey!"

I'm so glad this video reached you!! Letters to Satan Claus is truly a hidden gem. Much love to Chad Pringle
I know nothing about Degrassi but I love watching you discuss it!! take pride in your niche!!
Maple Creek thing, its likely attempting to portray the niche of outdoor living history museums. What a wild extremely specific tourism / education genre of museum.

Never have I been happier to receive a RUclips notification
RIGHT???

I clicked on the vid so fast. RUclips is sick for not showing this video to me in my feed despite me being subscribed. Sick I tell you.
