Hallmark Movie Drafts

HMD shines a light on the Hallmark filmography of Julie Sherman Wolfe. She's written so many beloved Hallmark movies that narrowing it down to only the best 10 is a huge challenge! Julie joins us for the whole show, commenting on the panel's picks (Mary Walters Carver, Daniel Thompson from Deck The Hallmark Podcast, and HMD host Lynn Austin), sharing behind the scene tidbits on her movies. We chat about her upcoming movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, and much more! Julie even reveals her personal top 10 list! Kate Bacca and Erinbeth Cermak buckle their seatbelts and fill in as hosts during this chaotic battle of opinions! Follow Hallmark Movie Drafts on Instagram @Hallmarkmoviedrafts.

It is the heart of summer, and who better to focus our  hearts on than the steaming hot Wes Brown and his Hallmark movie filmography. July's guest panelists Erin Rempe, Stephanie Preschel, and first-time drafter Leigh Anne Bates bring major game play as they debate, rank and create/draft the definitive top 10 list of his best Hallmark movies out of the 15 eligible. Host Lynn Austin has a movie on her list of Austin Absolutes that no one, not even co-host Erinbeth Cermak, will support... LOL. Will your favorite Wes Brown movie make the panelists' final top 10 list? Buckle up! Follow Hallmark Movie Drafts on Instagram @Hallmarkmoviedrafts.

This is the Bonus Episode to the Victor Webster Edition draft from earlier this month. If you haven’t listened to that show yet, listen to it first, then come back this bonus drop! We sometimes get messages from listeners saying whether they agree with a final list or if they’re upset because they’re favorite movie didn’t make the final top 10 list. This month, we received an audio message with a preemptive plea directed to the guest panelists Erin, Elizabeth and Jenna, and hosts Tracy and Lynn before the show was even recorded! You’ll hear Jane's message pleading her case, and each of our responses to her. Did her favorite movie make the final top 10 list? Hmmmm.... This match was an absolute blast!   You can hear audio clips from the Victor Webster Edition on our Instagram. Coming up in July: The Wes Brown Edition!

Special Delivery for Postables lovers! Grab a Yoo-hoo and kick back! Guest panelists Rina and Kristin create the definitive list of the 7 best Signed, Sealed, Delivered two-hour Hallmark movies out of the 12 that have been made. Which movies will make their list? Guest co-host and romance author Elizabeth Cullen joins host Lynn Austin and co-host Erinbeth Cermak to share her thoughts on these SSD movies. We may not agree on our 7 favorites, or which movies to rank where - and, shockingly, we each had a different #1 movie on our personal lists! One thing we all agree on is how we can't wait to see the two new SSD movies currently in production that will drop in 2024 and 2025: Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters, and Signed, Sealed, Delivered: To The Moon and Back.

February is "Loveuary" in the Hallmark movie world, and Hallmark Movie Drafts is celebrating it with our first-ever Hallstar Mash-up Edition featuring the collective movies of fan favorites Brant Daughtery, Travis Van Winkle, and Marc Blucas, none of whom currently have enough movies for their own draft. Guest panelists Lisa, Jen, and Meredith create the definitive top 10 list of Hallmark movies from the 16 collective movies of these three Hallstars. Guest co-host Whitney joins host Lynn & co-host Erinbeth for this draft and weighs in with her thoughts. Will everyone play with love as they battle it out to get their picks onto the final list? Or will they choose chaos? (I think our listeners know the answer...buckle up for pick #7!) You can see a photo in our Instagram of the "heads" background Jen mentions that she and Lisa thought "wait, what is that??" in one of the movies we discuss (no spoilers!).
