Andrea gave Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding a full five out of five, calling it the strongest entry in the series since the premiere. Eric landed at three (nudged up to a 3.75 after some back and forth), mostly because the mystery itself doesn't give viewers enough to work with. Eric and Andrea break down the Ireland setting, the love triangle between Eamon, Griff, and Inspector O'Reilly, a Sister Sister trivia detour, and their picks for what to watch next if this one worked for you. What You'll Hear: • Andrea's five out of five case for why this is the strongest Haunted Harmony entry yet • Eric's three out of five (later revised up) and the "over the top" moments that held him back • A full breakdown of the wedding mystery, including why the killer's reveal barely gives viewers a fair shot • The love triangle between Eamon, Griff (Marco Grazzini), and Inspector O'Reilly, and which pairing they're actually rooting for • Character Corner on Sunny the bride, and why she avoided every social media influencer cliche • Hallmark trivia: the Sister Sister connection, Tamara Bree teaching herself violin for the role, and Marco Grazzini's real life partner turning up in next week's movie • Recommendations for fans who want more bridal murder mysteries, from Murder, She Wrote to Brokenwood Mysteries and McDonald & Dodds • The IMDb score and live viewer poll results • A preview of next week's reviews: A Harvest Wedding and Falling Into Place 0:00 - Intro and Catching Up with Andrea 4:40 - Mystery News and the Hallmark Plus Price Hike 6:39 - Prelude to a Wedding Synopsis and Andrea's 5/5 Review 12:01 - Eric's Review: Beret Watch and a 3/5 Verdict 18:35 - The Mystery: Solid Twist, Not Enough Clues 23:41 - The Love Triangle: Eamon, Griff, and O'Reilly 26:32 - Character Corner: Sunny the Bride 28:53 - Hallmark Trivia: Sister, Sister and On-Set Secrets 31:45 - Hallmark and Chill: What to Watch Next 35:56 - IMDb Score and the Viewer Poll Results 38:11 - Next Week: A Harvest Wedding and Falling Into Place Andrea's giving this one a five, Eric landed at three.

Eric and Andrea sit down with Hallmark's modern spin on Much Ado About Nothing, Much About Love, starring Ashley Williams and Niall Matter as feuding exes Beatrice and Benedict. Both hosts land on the same 3.5 out of 5 stars, but for very different reasons, and one wordless scene at a kitchen table nearly wins them over completely. Along the way, they also reveal the fall Hallmark movies they're each committing to review next, and neither one saw the other's pick coming. What You'll Hear: • Hallmark news: Brendan Morgan lands the lead in a new scrapbooking-themed Christmas movie opposite Lindura. • A look at what's airing this week, including Garage Sale Mysteries: Picture a Murder. • Andrea's fall movie shortlist, from a near-miss with Falling for Vermont to her pick for next review, 2017's A Harvest Wedding with Jill Wagner and Victor Webster. • Eric's fall movie shortlist, including a real debate over whether Dating the Delaneys even counts as a fall movie before he lands on Country at Heart with Jessy Schram and Niall Matter. • The full breakdown of Much About Love: what Ashley Williams and Niall Matter's chemistry pulls off, and where the plot's manufactured conflict loses them. • The standout scene: a wordless moment with crayons at a kitchen table that both hosts call one of the most romantic scenes of the year. • Two comfort-watch recommendations for fans of the Beatrice-and-Benedict banter, plus a spicy Murder, She Wrote episode that shares the movie's restaurant joke. • Trivia on Ashley Williams and the surprisingly rough road Niall Matter took to his first Hallmark role.

Eric and Andrea review Love Finds You, the Fall Into Love kickoff starring Aimee Teegarden and Chris McNally as a jewelry designer and the delivery driver who gets pulled into her search for the rightful owner of a mislabeled package. Andrea gives it 4.5 stars. Eric calls that an insult and gives it five stars, no notes.

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Eric and Andrea review Aussie at Heart, the Hallmark original starring Rhiannon Fish and Daniel Lissing as a former lawyer turned event planner and her ex coworker who reunite in Queensland to plan her parents' anniversary party. Andrea gives it a two and a half. Eric gives it a three. Both of them still rank it dead last of the three movies they've covered this month, thanks to a boat problem, a B-roll problem, and one of the laziest misunderstandings in the Hallmark playbook. What You'll hear: • A full recap of Samara and Nate's reunion in Queensland, planning her parents' anniversary while dodging their own history • Why Andrea can't get past the boat movie problem, and why she'd rather have a murder on that yacht • The vow renewal scene and a mother of the bride whose eye acting deserves its own award • A detour into KitchenAid mixers, Eric's wife's Hanukkah gift versus a mixer that's been in Andrea's family since the 1950s • Rhiannon Fish's performance measured against her turn in Our Norwegian Holiday • The B-roll overload, the old elevator music montages, and the classic Hallmark misunderstanding that sinks the third act • Movie and show recommendations for anyone who wants their boat drama with actual stakes • Trivia on Daniel Lissing's music career and whether Rhiannon Fish actually has an Australian accent • Where Aussie at Heart lands in Eric and Andrea's ranking of this month's three movies, plus a look ahead to A Love Finds You 0:00 - Intro: Boats, Beach Balls, and a Real Men Wear Hallmark Shirt 3:00 - The Recap: Samara, Nate, and an Anniversary in Queensland 4:30 - The Ratings: Andrea's 2.5 vs Eric's 3 6:30 - What They Loved: The Best Friend, the Vows, and the Fireworks 10:30 - Rhiannon Fish's Performance vs Our Norwegian Holiday 13:00 - The Chemistry Verdict 15:00 - What Didn't Work: B-Roll Overload and That Classic Hallmark Fight 20:00 - Standout Character: The Best Friend 21:30 - If You Liked This, Watch... 23:30 - Trivia: Daniel Lissing's Music and Rhiannon Fish's Real Accent 25:30 - Ranking Aussie at Heart Against This Month's Movies 27:00 - Next Week: A Love Finds You Where do you land, closer to Andrea's 2.5 or Eric's 3?

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Eric and Andrea are back in Paris for episode four of Paris Is Always a Good Idea, and it's the one both hosts agree has the most packed into it. Chelsea and Knightly finally close the distance between them, Lacey Chabert turns in what Eric calls her best Hallmark performance yet, and one subplot has the hosts split right down the middle. Andrea says it adds welcome variety. Eric says it's stealing time from the couple everyone actually tuned in for. Here's what Eric and Andrea get into: • Andrea's full recap of how Chelsea and Knightly's backstory comes together, plus the real Eiffel Tower shoot both actors talked about on Hallmark+ • A quick detour into why the Hallmark+ app keeps logging Andrea out, and why she's sticking with the $39 subscription anyway • The sister subplot debate: Andrea calls it welcome variety, Eric calls it a distraction from the main couple • Eric's case for why this might be Lacey Chabert's best Hallmark role yet, including the scene he calls the spiciest she's ever played • The donation numbers continuity hiccup both hosts caught in the nonprofit storyline • Why Knightly is the one pushing Chelsea toward her billionaire ex Marco, and what that says about his insecurity instead of hers • The standout scene both hosts pick, from the elevator kiss to the closing cab ride banter between Knightly and the sister • Predictions for the rest of the season, including who Marco really is and whether that castle wedding tease means what they think it does Chapters: 0:00 - Bonjour From Paris: Episode 4 Kickoff 1:15 - Recapping "Knightly": Chelsea and Knightly Grow Closer 4:00 - Spoiled by the App: The Hallmark+ Eiffel Tower Mishap 5:30 - The Sister Subplot Divides the Hosts 8:00 - Eric's Take: Lacey Chabert's Best Role Yet 11:00 - The Insecurity Twist: Why Knightly Pushes Chelsea Toward Marco 13:30 - The Big Debate: Is the Sister a Distraction or an Asset? 16:30 - Standout Scene: The Elevator Kiss (and That Cab Ride Callback) 19:30 - Rating the Romance: How Spicy Is Chelsea and Knightly? 21:30 - Season Predictions: Who Is Marco, and Does the Wedding Theory Hold? 23:30 - Sign-Off From Paris Where do you land: does the sister add welcome variety to Paris, or is she pulling focus from Chelsea and Knightly? And who do you think Marco really is? New episodes every week.
