Loree invites longtime friend Jessica Brown on to the pod to discuss "A Gingerbread Romance." Loree and Jessica dig into the logistics and costs of a 10-day-long gingerbread baking contest, the tension in all those movie-ending face-mushes, and whether Hallmark's aim for diversity is hitting the mark. Plus, fashion commentary (berets and scarves!) and J. Brown offers a new entry into the holiday lexicon: "Hallmark blue balls."

Loree is joined by "A Very Hallmark Christmas" veteran guests Cara Stewart and Courtney Ham to discuss a film based off of a book based off of a song. Loree resists all attempts by the guests to turn the show into a Blake Shelton conspiracy theory podcast. Plus, the necessity (or lack thereof) of flirting in Hallmark movies.

Loree brings in big guns Erin Keane and Joe Sonka to discuss the complex journalism storyline in "Entertaining Christmas." The team digs in to John's ethical lapses as a Cedar Falls Gazette reporter and tries to pinpoint precisely what Candace's role is in the Livingstone media empire. Plus, football hero siblings, crushed velvet fashions and a gingerbread man with no hands.

Loree and Rob dig into "Welcome to Christmas," the heartwarming story of a small town begging a large corporate developer to rob it of its charm. Learn more about Annie, the hometown goth teen that loves A Christmas Carol, and Rachel, the refreshingly upfront local who is willing to go scorched earth to get Madeline out of town.

Another week, another former couple having to come together to plan the local high school's Christmas dance. Join Loree and Rob to discuss "Homegrown Christmas," Maddie's less admirable qualities, and one bananas cookie swap scene. Plus, negotiating a salary upon your return to the family business.

Join Loree and Rob to dig into "Once Upon A Christmas Miracle," a Hallmark Movies and Mysteries flick that doesn't play by the rules. Aimee Teegarden sells the hell out of some otherwise cheesy lines, and Chris may be the most saintly Hallmark leading man yet.

Only 15 movies to go! Join Loree and Rob to discuss "Winter Wonderland," a very confusing NYC art gallery, and their respective middle and high school dance experiences. Plus, a thrilling keynote at the National Realtor Convention.

It's a very short "A Very Hallmark Christmas." Join Loree and Rob for a visit to Briar Falls and the Majestic Theater. This time, evil comes not in the form of condos but as a multiplex, and grassroots organizer Barry steals the show with his campaign to save the historic building. Plus, the scariest snowman in the Hallmark Cinematic Universe.

Just days off of the #Emotions12 gauntlet, Loree and Rob settle back in for "Mingle All the Way." Join them for a discussion about Jen Lilley's off-the-charts likability, the terrible-ness of Molly's mom, and how Jeff turns from jerk to perfect gentleman.

Hoo boy. Loree and Rob sit down to discuss "A Godwink Christmas." This lengthy episode dives deep into what exactly qualifies as a "godwink." Plus, carousels, a surprise boyfriend visit, and some more Wings content. Fly Sandpiper Air!
