We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Christmas Under Construction stars Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing in a Hallmark-style renovation romance that first aired on Hulu in 2024.

The Love Heist Review

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/25

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Love Heist had every reason to be skippable. Then Lyndsy Fonseca and Peter Porte showed up and made it one of the most fun Hallmark movies of the year. Eric went in expecting a mess and walked out calling it a top-three of 2026.

The Final Episode of The Way Home Review

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/22

Texas Two-Step Review

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/18

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Texas Two Step stars Heather Hemmens and Brendan Penny, and Eric went in skeptical. He came out calling it the surprise hit of the year. Trisha Yearwood sings the opening number, the writing is sharp from the first scene, and the romance between the two leads delivers more heat than most Hallmark movies pack into an entire season. Here's what you'll hear in this episode: • Why Trisha Yearwood sing...

Bianca Melchior and Dan Jeanotte Interview

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/16

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Bianca Melchior almost didn't believe she got the role of Fern on The Way Home.

What you'll hear in this episode: • How Bianca's agent faked her out on the Fern casting call, and exactly what her reaction sou...

The Way Home Season 4 Ep 9 Review

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/15

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Way Home Episode 9 ends with a tunnel explosion, a gunshot, and two actors delivering some of the best silent acting this show has ever put on screen. We watched it multiple times. We cried multiple times. And we still have questions. We cover everything in this one: the fan mail that perfectly sums up how confusing The Way Home has gotten, the Fern-Katherine reunion that wrecked Andrea, Griffin earning a possible spot...

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Nikki DeLoach heads to the Greek island of Corfu, co-inherits a property with a stranger, and discovers the only way to finalize it is to marry him.

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/08

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Way Home Season 4 Episode 8 just handed us one of the biggest Sam moments of the season, and we need to talk about it.

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The third Haunted Harmony puts us in an Irish castle with a murdered ghost hunter host, a spirit who doesn't know he's dead, and a writer who reached out to us personally with secrets from the script. Andrea gave it a 3 out of 5. Eric ranked it the second mystery of all three. We don't usually split this much. What You'll Hear • Why Andrea watched the entire murder reveal scene with her laptop lit...

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/06/01

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Way Home just name-dropped "Some Like It Hot" and Eric is not letting it go. Nick called himself Spats. The character Spats in that film witnessed the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Al Capone is connected. The 1920s timeline suddenly has a lot more layers, and this episode is either brilliant or a little too ambitious. Eric and Andrea break down Season 5 Episode 7 with questions, theories, and at least one genuine conce...

True Justice Eye for an Eye Review

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/05/28

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. True Justice Eye for an Eye has the Justice Warriors back on the case, and Eric is giving it 4 stars. The pacing is sharp, the ensemble cast earns their screen time, and the camera work during the crime scene sequences is genuinely impressive. But when Eric and Andrea get into the actual mystery, they both land in the same place: the whodunit itself might only deserve a 2. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR • Why T...

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Way Home just handed us our wildest theory of the season, and we are not letting it go. Jacob and Abby might be Casey’s parents, Tessa just revealed she’s running the whole smuggling operation, and Kat has once again made everything measurably worse for everyone around her. In this episode, Andrea and I break down The Way Home Season 3 Episode 6, and the theories we walk away with are bigger than anything we’ve had so ...

Hanaha Swensen Mystery: Best Served Cold Review

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/05/21

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. ThiHannah Swensen's 14th mystery delivers fun characters and some courtroom drama, but Eric and Andrea agree the mystery itself is weaker than fans deserve. The killer is obvious from the moment they appear on screen, there are no real suspects, and Hannah's character feels like she's lost some of that strong, independent edge from earlier movies. What You'll Hear: • Eric gives this one a 2.5 out of 5 — slightly better tha...

Hallmark Mysteries & More ·

2026/05/18

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Eric and Andrea are reviewing The Way Home Season 4 Episode 4, and they are not on the same page. Eric calls this his favorite episode of the season so far, while Andrea is still only halfway into the pond. Nick time travels to the 1920s, someone wants Kat dead, and the tarot cards Tessa steals might actually mean something. What you'll hear: • Why Nick singing with the Augustine brothers at the speakeasy might be the best...
