After two years, we’re finally setting sail back to Ireland! In this episode, Eric and Andrea dive into Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at Sea, starring Tamera Mowry-Housley as Gethsemane Brown — the music teacher who solves murders with a little ghostly help from her friend Eamon. From Titanic violins to Irish pubs, this latest entry in Hallmark’s mystery lineup hits all the cozy notes (and a few spooky ones, too).

Eric and Andrea share their takes on the movie’s standout moments, how the new ghostly twist changes the series, and whether the mystery itself sank or sailed. Expect laughter, debate, and even a detour into basketball sibling rivalries — because why not?

Highlights:

• Why the Irish setting still feels like the coziest backdrop in Hallmark Mystery history

• Andrea’s case for calling this the best Haunted Harmony yet (and Eric’s not-so-sure rebuttal)

• The “ghost logic” that finally makes sense — and one haunting plot hole that doesn’t

• Does the mystery hold up, or did it miss a few clues?

• Behind-the-scenes trivia: which Hallmark writer has penned Murder, She Baked AND Garage Sale Mysteries

• Hallmark & Chill pick: Murder, She Wrote “Ship of Thieves”

If you love Haunted Harmony Mysteries, Murder, She Wrote, or anything set in foggy, cozy Irish towns, this episode is your cup of tea (or pint at the pub).

This week, we're joined by Marco Grazzini and Adam Fergus, stars of the new Hallmark mystery Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C, premiering October 12th on Hallmark Mystery.

If you're a fan of mysteries with a supernatural twist, you're going to love this conversation. We dive deep into what makes the Haunted Harmony franchise unique in the crowded Hallmark mystery space—from the ghost partner dynamic to the romance triangle that doesn't involve the two lead sleuths (looking at you, every other mystery series).

Adam, who's originally from Ireland, shares insider tips about visiting the Emerald Isle, including why you should never order an Irish Car Bomb or a Black and Tan if you actually want to fit in with the locals. He also explains the art of "splitting the G" on your first pint of Guinness—and trust me, it's harder than it sounds.

Marco talks about why he keeps returning to Ireland for these films (spoiler: it's not the weather), the challenges of filming 100-page scripts in 10-hour Irish workdays versus the typical Canadian 11-hour schedule, and how cinematographers in Ireland have basically mastered shooting through four seasons in a single take.

But the absolute highlight? Marco's confession about cheating on his Grade 12 calculus exam by buying it from a security guard, memorizing answers he didn't understand, and still barely passing with a 95%. It's the kind of story that explains why he's an actor and not a math teacher—despite playing one on screen.

We also get into:

• Whether they actually believe in ghosts (their answers might surprise you)
• The Jane Seymour garden party story you won't believe
• Why Tamara Mowry-Housley's laugh is legendary on set
• The mysterious object that gets revealed in Buried at C that had the entire cast cracking up
• How Richard Cooper's ghost character brings levity to murder mysteries
• The delicate balance of romance in a series versus one-off rom-coms
• Why having the romantic tension outside the main sleuthing duo works so well

Both Marco and Adam are refreshingly candid about the craft of acting, the joys and challenges of series work versus standalone movies, and what it's like to develop a character over multiple films. Adam's perspective as a local filming in his home country adds a fascinating layer to the conversation, while Marco's outsider enthusiasm for Irish culture is genuinely infectious.

If you're a Hallmark mystery fan, this is essential listening before Buried at C premieres. And even if you're just here for behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories and a calculus heist confession, you're in for a treat.

Episode Highlights:

• [03:15] Why Irish people make filming in Ireland worth the weather
• [08:42] Marco's legendary calculus cheating story
• [14:28] What makes Tamara Mowry-Housley the heart of the series
• [18:35] Do they believe in ghosts? A surprisingly thoughtful answer
• [21:50] The Griff vs. O'Reilly love triangle dynamics
• [26:18] Irish drinking culture: What tourists get wrong
• [32:45] The reality of 10-hour Irish filming days
• [38:22] Why Haunted Harmony broke through with tough mystery fans
• [43:10] Character arcs in mystery series vs. standalone movies
• [47:55] Teasing Buried at C without spo
