Eric and Andrea run through the entire Fall Into Love 2026 lineup, eight new movies, before sitting down with this week's big premiere: Absolutely Devoted to You, starring Jesse Metcalfe and Kimberley Sustad. It's Hallmark's swing at a 90s boy band reunion story, and both hosts walk in a little skeptical. Eric lands at four and a half out of five. Andrea can't get past one thing: the age gap between the leads.

What You'll Hear:

• Eight new Fall Into Love 2026 movies previewed and rated thumbs up or down, including Love Finds You, Much About Love and the return of Garage Sale Mysteries

• A first look at Hallmark's two new Halloween movies, A Knight to Remember and The Spirit of Halloween

• The full premise of Absolutely Devoted to You and why its 90s TV talk show framing gives it a different feel than most Hallmark romances

• Andrea's case for Hanson as the greatest boy band of the 90s (and why Bop is still on her playlist)

• Eric and Andrea's honest read on Kimberley Sustad and Jesse Metcalfe's chemistry

• One plot point neither host can fully explain: how the ending's jump from studio to stage actually works

• Eric's biggest Hallmark pet peeve, unpacked using this exact movie as the example

• Standout character talk built around Tetiana Ostapowych's scene-stealing, fangirling newscaster

• Behind-the-scenes trivia from director Stacey N. Harding, plus a preview of next week's Aussie at Heart and Paris Is Always a Good Idea

Eric and Andrea are back in Paris for Episode 3 of Hallmark+'s "Paris Is Always a Good Idea," titled "Sebastian, Revisited." Chelsea and Knightley get back to work, and the French photographer Chelsea left behind years ago walks right back into her life. Eric and Andrea break down what won them over, where the show swerves hard from the book, and why one dress has them arguing about couture pricing.

What You'll See:

• The forest opening and the phone call with Chelsea's dad that finally patches things up between them

• The steamy restaurant scene, the napkin pass, and the line that would get anyone else fired by HR

• How Sebastian's storyline in the show diverges hugely from the book, and why that changes everything about him

• The show's noticeably bigger production budget, plus the new spin on "Private Eyes" during the opening titles

• The $10,000 dress debate, and how Sebastian stacks up against Chelsea's other guys so far

• A flash-forward wedding photography scene that had both hosts rewinding to figure out what just happened

• Why Andrea calls this show "anti-Hallmark," and means it as a compliment

• A listener voicemail, a stolen library book, and an update on tracking down the book's author

• Where Chelsea and Knightley stand heading into next week, plus a first look at what's coming with "Absolutely Devoted to You"

• What changed between the novel and the TV adaptation, and why it matters
• The sibling storyline between Chelsea and Annabelle, and the weight of losing their mom
• Barbara Niven's role as the dad's new girlfriend, and why the restraint works

Snowbound for the Holidays sounds cozy. Filming it wasn't. Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner sit down to talk about shooting a Hallmark Christmas movie in an actual blizzard, and why Vanessa keeps getting cast in the summer instead.

What you'll hear:

•       Why Vanessa Lengies calls herself Hallmark's unofficial "Queen of Christmas in July," now three movies into the bit

•       Marcus Rosner's account of the freezing five-hour drive north of Toronto, where the crew shoveled out their trailers every morning

•       The real temperature on set in Mattawa, Ontario (near minus 40 Celsius) versus the usual 109-degree Salt Lake City summer shoots

•       Marcus's on-set music obsession with singer Steven Wilson Jr., and why it drove Vanessa up the wall through the lodge walls

•       Vanessa's honest answer on whether she'll watch Snowbound for the Holidays when it airs, and how becoming a mom changed her answer

•       The cold-or-hot debate: Marcus wants snow, Vanessa wants sand, and neither one is backing down
