S5E14: Blind Date Book Club
Another bonus episode! This time Ted Cooper (not his real name) is back for another romp in which his optimism is unbounded. It would be annoying in a lesser man but somehow he makes it work. Also there's a lovely female lead ...
S5E13: Adventures in Love and Birding
Welcome to our first random bonus episode of Season 5 in which we discuss the spicy (for Hallmark) Adventures in Love and Birding. For those of you with delicate sensibilities you should know as a trigger warning that THEY KISS THREE TIME...
S5E12: Christmas Island
Happy Valentine's Day! We refuse to be bound by the constraints of the calendar so we bring you get another Christmas movie today. Crash landing on a small Nova Scotia island on the way to Switzerland? No big deal - you might ...
S5E11: A Make or Break Christmas
Buckle up, listeners, we're about to review A Make or Break Christmas. Trigger warning - this is a pretty illicit Hallmark and Bauble has a lot of thoughts about the fact they kiss in the first 5 minutes. Gasp!
S5E10: Single on the 25th
In which nearly a month after December 25th we review Single on the 25th and Holly has a good old fashioned rant.
S5E9: Christmas at the Catnip Cafe
Welcome to 2026 and welcome to the Catnip Cafe where you can celebrate the holidays by wearing PJs and reading to a cat. Sounds like heaven to Holly!
S5E8: She's Making a List
Holly and Bauble are both a bit befuddled by how to think about She's Making a List which is charming but not the typical Hallmark formula. Also, we have an existential discussion about Santa that you're not going to want to miss.
S5E7: Christmas Up in the Clouds
Merry Christmas! Only 5 seasons in and it occurred to us that perhaps we should do a Christmas episode so here we go. We're bringing you Christmas Up in the Clouds aka Christmas Carol but in a plane, and of course sending you our ve...
S5E6: Christmas by Starlight
In which we review Christmas by Starlight, or whatever the heck Bauble thinks it's called, and even Holly knows what other movie this one is an homage to.
S5E5: The More the Merrier
In this episode we realize exactly how little Holly knows about football (or words) but also she manages to be right a few times which is pretty exciting, at least to her. Also, we review The More the Merrier.
S5E4: The Santa Stakeout
Brace yourself for being on the edge of your seat during this Hallmark mystery, since at least one of us thinks it's stressful not knowing who pulled off the art heist (don't worry, we'll clue you in). Another strong Hallmark movie and we...
S5E3: Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper!
Forgive us if we're peaking too early (and also giving too many spoilers) but Ted Cooper might be the hit of this year's Hallmark lineup and if you can believe it we both agree on that even though as often happens Holly didn't entirely follow t...
S5E2: Three Wisest Men
The hits keep coming! The final installment of the Three Wise Men trilogy just dropped and it's all we had hoped for. Well, it's almost all we had hoped for. You'll have to listen to find out the enormous omission we're both v...
S5E1: A Royal Montana Christmas
What??? Hallmark dropped a new movie this year that has the princess of Zelarnia visiting a dude ranch in Montana? Christmas came early this year! We can't wait to talk about A Royal Montana Christmas and welcome you to Season...
S4E17: Christmas at Sea
If you're looking for snark we may fail you this week as we review the absurdly charming reality show Christmas at Sea. What? Hallmark does a reality show and it's not utterly ridiculous? Somehow yes, or we've just lost our sn...
S4E16: The Reluctant Royal
And you worried you might not see us in August. Surprise! We're back with another scintillating podcast in which we review The Reluctant Royal and discover that horses are, in fact, excellent judges of character.
S4E15: Mingle All The Way
For Christmas in July we bring you a special treat - Mingle All The Way! According to Holly, this gem has everything. As you might imagine, Bauble has a different view.
S4E14: Royally Ever After
Here in the shoulder season between Christmas and Christmas and July we're exploring another great trope and reviewing Royally Ever After. Have you ever found out your boyfriend was a prince and weren't sure how to feel about it? We...
S4E13: Eat, Play, Love
After a short break to recover from the Christmas rush we're back with a non-holiday Hallmark full of puppy goodness (although one of us thinks it has more goodness than the other does). We're reviewing Eat, Play, Love and you'll be excit...
S4E12: The Perfect Setting
After an amazing save by our tech team (Holly's husband), we managed to actually get this recording posted. This week we're heading to Belgium and reviewing The Perfect Setting, in which you'll hear our opinions on quintessential Belgian ...
S4E11: Polar Opposites
This is as close as we're going to get to a Valentine's Day special. In this episode we review Polar Opposites in which we learn a lot about penguins and how to find a penguin of one's own. Which is more romantic than you would thin...
S4E10: As Luck Would Have It
Top of the morning, or some other appropriately stereotypical Irish greeting. This week we bring you the delights of Ireland in the most Irish of Irish Hallmarks, As Luck Would Have It. We also mention in passing some other gems ('T...
S4E9: Private Princess Christmas
Well, it had to happen. They can't all be hits. This certainly isn't. I'm talking about the movie, of course - as usual our podcast is tip top. This episode we bring you Private Princess Christmas and here's hoping 2025 ...
