THE 2019 HOLIDAY MOVIE BRACKET IS OVER AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

The match up may be done but Mel and Dory aren't ready to let go - so they head off bracket to discuss 'A Storybook Christmas', 'Double Holiday', 'Cheerful Christmas', and the bewildering amnesia romp that is 'Christmas on My Mind'.

We made it to the end! Our bracket is (almost) complete. This week, we get into the Great Hallmark Debacle of 2019 and chat about our final bracket matchup. We also share our favorite Lifetime holiday movies of all-time. If you want to get right to the movie discussion, we get it. It's been a rough week. Skip ahead to about 24 minutes in.

The most anticipated event (to us) of the season has finally arrived, as queen and Earth angel Dolly Parton christens Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas in week seven of the Holiday Movie Bracket. "Christmas at Dollywood" takes on Lifetime's "Grounded for Christmas", in a matchup perhaps doomed from the start. Late night sidebars include "A Christmas Love Story", "Mistletoe and Menorahs" and Dory's strong opinion of the musical "Cats". (Warning: If you love Cats...you may want to sit this one out.)

Well, we survived the Thanksgiving week onslaught of movies (barely) and we're exhausted but ready to discuss our 6th bracket matchup. On this episode of the pod, Kelly Rowland in Merry Liddle Christmas takes on Candace Cameron Bure in Christmas Town. We also discuss Dory’s short term memory loss, Black Friday purchases, this year’s bracket frontrunners and which upcoming Hallmark and Lifetime movies we’re most excited for.

The most special of all guest stars joins Mel and Dory for the 5th round on the Hallmark vs. Lifetime holiday bracket...Dory's mom Sheryl is here! 'Christmas Duet' and 'Staging Christmas' are the contenders but the ladies go off bracket to discuss their favorites of the week's glut of Thanksgiving premieres. OUR CORNUCOPIA RUNNETH OVER!! SO MANY MOVIES!! IT'S MADNESS!

It's week four of the holiday movie bracket matchup and Hallmark sequel "Cherished Memories: A Gift to Remember 2" is up against Lifetime's "Christmas 9 to 5", where an investigative reporter goes undercover as a department store retail clerk and why is any of this happening? Because Christmas, is why!

Did Darcy & Aiden's love survive post-brain injury? Does Mrs. Henley still love a statement necklace? Will the evil Books! Books! Books! win the day? All will be discussed, and more!

This week, Jana Kramer stars in Lifetime's Christmas in Louisiana, and Chad Michael Murray charms us in Hallmark's Write Before Christmas. Tune in to find out which One Tree Hill alum was victorious in our third bracket matchup of the year.

Picture a Perfect Christmas takes on A Sweet Christmas Romance in week 2 of our 2019 Holiday Bracket Challenge, and Dory, Mel and special guest Meghan had NO feels for one of these contenders! Listen to find out whether Hallmark or Lifetime won the weekend.

Oh what! It's the first match up of the season! Hallmark's "Christmas Scavenger Hunt" takes on the fever dream that is Lifetime's "Christmas Reservations", and one network claims the inaugural win! Plus, Dory & Mel & Mel's roommate Clyde can't help but share their thoughts on random acts of Bollywood, bubble guts after 30, and the new Hallmark classic that made us cry all the tears - "Two Turtle Doves".
