This week, Andrea and Eric return to Hartley Castle for their review of Emma Fielding Mysteries: Past Malice, and this time—it’s personal (and possibly cursed). From improved character chemistry to surprise villain reveals, they break down why this second film in the Emma Fielding series is a big step up from the first.

They discuss Courtney Thorne-Smith’s stronger performance, the castle setting that won Andrea’s heart, and the unexpected killer reveal that had them both rethinking what they thought they knew about Kimberly Sustad. Plus, they chat about FBI divisions that may or may not exist, awkward crawl spaces, and the joy of a good old-fashioned Hallmark-style chase scene.
