With so much programming, we just had to add a second episode of Hallmark =Mysteries and More to discuss The Way Home and The Spencer Sisters.

The legacy of Lisa Hamilton Daly, The Way Home, dips back into the pond for a 3rd season. What is in store for Kat, Jacob, Elliott, and Alice? How will Del deal? We answer these questions and a lot more as we discuss the first episode, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet."

Then we break down the first episode, "The Scholar's Snafu," of the acquired mystery, The Spencer Sisters, available only on Hallmark Plus. This refreshing light mystery stars Lea Thomspon and Stacey Farber as a fun mother and daughter sleuthing team who has to solve their relationship dynamics and cases.

After our fascinating conversation with Dylan Neal we just had to dive into the Gourmet Detective series. This is our favorite mystery series for good reasons. It has excellent writing and fun mysteries, and the chemistry between Henry and Maggie is off the charts. 

In this episode, we look at the pilot of Gourmet Detective and discuss if it holds up with all the great new mysteries that have come out since the last Gourmet Detective in 2020.

What an amazing way to end the year!

We all love Dylan Neal for his many roles in various Hallmark movies, most notably as Henry Ross of Gourmet Detective and Jack Griffith on Cedar Cove.  But Dylan is more than just a face in Hallmark movies and mysteries; he is a writer, a producer, and a knowledgeable insider of the entertainment industry. In this candid conversation, Dylan doesn't pull any punches but pulls back the curtain and gives us a glimpse of the challenges of producing a movie for Hallmark. As fans, we see the polished end product of a movie, but the road getting there is often winding, looping, and full of hurdles. 

Sit back and sip on your monkey parchment coffee and enjoy this fascinating tour of behind the scenes of a Hallmark production.

A sad day has come as we discuss the final episode of Mistletoe Murders. And what an episode it was, with amazing action, delicious romance, and a doozy of a cliffhanger. Looking back, we concluded that it's probably the best series Hallmark has ever produced. The music, the acting, the cinematography, the location, and of course, the writing. 

We also recap last week's holiday movies, and Eric drops a surprise bombshell.

We love Mistletoe Murders and each episode just keeps getting better. In this episode, we dive into the first part of the final mystery of season 1 - Death of a Humbug. This episode brings Tom Cavanaugh in as the cranky, mysterious victim.

The murder of the town Scrooge leads Emily and other shopkeepers to A Christmas Carol-themed scavenger hunt orchestrated by the victim. Emily tries to keep Sam at arm's length.

Of course, we also discussed all the holiday movies that aired over Thanksgiving—and there were a lot of them!
