All The Feels: An Unauthorized Hallmark Movie Podcast

It's the beginning of the 2024 Hallmark Holiday Movie bracket and we're kicking things off with The Christmas Charade vs A Five Year Christmas Party.  Not only do we discuss these two movies filled with FBI hijinks and theatre dreams, we also gab about ageism, punk trick-or-treaters, and Beyonce because why not?! 

Note:  After recording this episode, we learned Katie Findlay uses them/them pronouns.  We apologize for using she/her pronouns during our discussion and will be more mindful in the future.

We're back and ready for another round of Hallmark Christmas crazy! In this extra-extra-long episode (blame it on Hallmark's bloated movie summaries) Erika, Dory, and Mel debate this season's Countdown to Christmas offerings, narrowing the field to the lucky hopefuls that will compete in the 2024 All The Feels Holiday Movie Bracket. We've got Kelces, sexy snowmen, 90s time travel AND a 90s game show host. What more could a Big-City-Girl-with-a-Christmas-Eve-deadline-and-a-hot-but-grumpy-lumberjack-neighbor, want?

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve come to the end of the road (cue the Boyz II Men). In our last episode of the season, Dory, Mel and Erika gather one more time to discuss our final movie matchup, Magic in Mistletoe vs. Christmas on Cherry Lane, and to crown a bracket champion. We had some strong contenders this year. Listen to find out who took the crown! Thank you for joining us this season. We’ll see you in 2024!

This week's Hallmark Bracket movies bring us quaint European towns awash with trolls, woolen stockings, long-lost-family, long-lost-Counts, and LIES! My Norwegian Holiday goes up against A Not So Royal Christmas in this season's second to last match-up - and the ladies of All The Feels are once again divided. Also included are deep thoughts on fate, Christmas body switching, and Brandy in a solar-powered hot air balloon.

Ooooohhh, talk about a match-up! We've got Holiday Road vs Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up. With tons of characters between these two movies, did we love them all or was it overwhelming? Plus, you know what they say about sequels - was Lacey's second installment on Evergreen Lane a hit or a miss? We also reminisce about slumber parties and share a slight case of having OCD while christmas tree decorating!

Match-up number five puts A Merry Scottish Christmas up against Catch Me If You Claus. There's a lot of love for the beauty of Scotland, but the ladies ain't mad at a steamy make-out session either! Plus, we talk turkey, thanksgiving favorite foods, and get a second appearance from Mel's Dad!

It’s hard to believe, but we’re already halfway through this year’s bracket! Mystery on Mistletoe Lane and Christmas Island compete in our fourth matchup of the year, and it’s safe to say that Andrew Walker had us all swooning. But was his charisma enough to help Christmas Island win the weekend? As usual, this episode has lots of movie talk and lots of tangents. Plus, we get a brief appearance by Mel’s dad!

The third bracket match up brings us two movies about friendship, and causes a heated debate for the ages between the ladies of All The Feels. Never Been Chris'd goes up against The Santa Summit - in one we stand united, in the other - divided. Where will you stand when the Christmas dust settles?

It’s our 100th episode! In true All the Feels fashion, we didn’t realize this momentous occasion was upon us, so we had to commemorate it on the fly. Then, Hallmark takes us from an aquarium in Connecticut to a Christmas market in France as Mystic Christmas takes on Joyeux Noel in our second matchup of the season. Thank you for sticking with us for 100 episodes. We would never have made it this far without your support.

The 2023 Hallmark Holiday Movie bracket kicks off with a black & white Christmas-less universe vs. a lot of angst and party planning involving the actual universe. Where Are You, Christmas? goes up against Under the Christmas Sky in a not-so-heated premiere weekend match up - plus, Cher has a new Christmas album! And it's not even Halloween yet! Enjoy your trick-or-treating, and we'll see you back here next week in the full swing of Christmas!
