For the theme, 'So...This is Love?"In this one, the Harbisons think florist code is problematic, Paige gets in a tit-off with her nonexistent child, and everyone recalls warmly the one year they all liked Ashton Kutcher (‘shton’ to his friends, among whom jack counts himself). Oh, and also, don't worry, Adam grabbed his ****.If this wasn't enough phone sex for you, read Beth's book Secrets of a Shoe Addict! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Amazon Prime Movie - "The Substance"

NAMELESS BEST FRIENDS ·

2025/01/16

Our fourth season opens with us mixing it up a little bit - instead of enduring every one of the off-season movies even Hallmark doesn't care about, we're widening the net by choosing a theme for the month and torturing each other with surprise choices. This month's theme is, loosely, "makeovers" and this is Paige's choice. It was indeed torture for some of us.If you want to prep for our next "makeover" viewing, Beth's choices are both The Brady Bunch:Season 2 episode 9 – Not So Ugly

Hallmark Classic - "Shoe Addicts Christmas" Part Two

NAMELESS BEST FRIENDS ·

2024/12/25

This is part two of two.Once upon a time, Beth Harbison wrote a book called Shoe Addicts Anonymous and it became a New York Times Bestseller, which was followed by Secrets of a Shoe Addict, and then her publisher asked her to write a Christmas story to follow up and that was the novella A Shoe Addict's Christmas. That's right, the exact same name as this movie! And there are other similarities too, which isn't surprising since the movie was based on Beth's book. Sort of.And Jean Smart is in it!!!If

NAMELESS BEST FRIENDS ·

2024/12/23

Wow, what words to even use to describe this...piece. For a hella devout group of people, there's so much ego, so much 'missing the point,' so much car-sitting. The preaching, the sanctimonious monologues, the very very white hip hop flash mob...the CAMERON of it all. Holy god, is all we have to say. We had an amazing time with Jen & Fletch, so the episode is a blast thank GOD. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We were treated to a visit from actor Ellyn Jameson and producer Kayla Fostertoday to get their takes on - get this - the first Hallmark movie either of them had ever seen! Don't tell Kayla's mom, though! Anyway, Director and actor Mariah Carey is at her blurry best - if by "best" you mean "worst" - in this Lacey Chabert gem from 2015.

It's Paige's fault. Entirely. Teen Beach Movie and now this.Look, if you're looking for a great or beautiful film, this is far from it. But if you want a time portal directly to sitting in front of your heavy, bulky monster of a TV in the year 2000, it's a miracle! Is there magic in it? Yes. Is it magical? No. Worth watching?

Hilarious author Lindsay Hameroff(Till there was You) joins us for what some of us found to be a pleasant holiday diversion. It's no "Round and Round," sure, but it's also not "Letters to Santa." Most importantly, it brings Marc Summers back to our screens, where he shows genuine warmth and charm at a time when we need it most.If you hate commercials but love a sassy movie breakdown with a lot of pithy life observations strewn in, or if you'd like to give a membership to someone else look for us on

If you love The Sound of Music so much that you'll settle for anything even remotely similar, this is the movie for you! Not saying that's a bad thing, we actually found it pretty enjoyable. Were there a few ridiculous coincidences? Of course. A cheap device to create pity and a "serious" tone? Indeed. Was there a happy ending? Weirdly enough...we're not going to say.

Vanessa Hudgens and Vanessa Hudgens star in The Princess Switch! Little to no effort is made to make this in any way plausible but it's still a pleasant movie. The rental house "Kevin" and "Stacy" have is fantastic, but what isn't beautiful in Belgravia, amirite? Besides the castle.By the way, only one of us thought it was a good idea to leave the rambling intro in. It wasn't Beth. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Hallmark Movie - "Sugarplummed"

Mixed feelings on this one. Is "Sugarplum" the actresses single name? Is she human? Why doesn't she understand anything about life? If she's just a character, does she have a human double out here somewhere?

Wasn't Nancy Meyers working on a new, updasted Private Benjamin? And could they re-release the original with Goldie Hawn in the meantime? That was a great movie.This is not that movie.This is the story of a man with Issues that any sensible woman would stay away from. Not one surprise here. But we had fun discussing it!
