Andrea and Eric dive into the second installment of Mistletoe Murders' second season, Ides of December. As usual, Eric is all in and loving every minute, while Andrea seems to be a little more lukewarm to season two as a whole. This episode brings a mystery, more reconciliation between Sam and Emily, more glimpses into Emily's past, and some of the funniest moments we have ever seen on this series. 

Plus they give our thoughts on Keller Family Christmas and both share surprising praise of Three Wisest Men and The Tidings of the Holiday.

Mistletoe Murders Season 2 is finally here, and after waiting 11 months, Eric and Andrea are absolutely ready to dive in. Well… after a quick detour through every Hallmark Christmas movie they missed last week because “schedules are bananas.”

In this episode, we speed-review the newest Countdown to Christmas releases — the rough starts, the surprise favorites, the 15-star airplane movie (according to Eric), and the green screens that shall not be named. We even detour briefly into Hulu land because apparently Chad Michael Murray still has the magic touch.

Then we buckle up for Mistletoe Murders S2 Episodes 1 & 2, where we unpack:

✨ Emily & Sam’s tension (healthy? too much? depends which of us you ask)

✨ Violet being the heart of Fletcher’s Grove

✨ Benjamin Ayres sweeping in as a janitor cameo

✨ Flashbacks, coat hooks, and cozy mystery logic

✨ Whether chess scholarships are… a thing?

✨ And the plushie fiasco that broke the internet and Michelle’s patience

Plus: our picks (or lack thereof) for Finding Mr. Christmas, why season 2 feels different, and what we hope is coming next in The Ides of December.

If you’re a Hallmark sleuther who loves good banter, strong opinions, and cozy mysteries with zero threat of nightmares, this one is for you.

After two years, we’re finally setting sail back to Ireland!

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
