This week we discussed the 6th epidodes of The Way Home, "Ain't No Sunshine" and The Spencer Sisters "The Winemakers Woe". While there were moments each of us enjoyed in The Way Home, this episode didn't do much to get us back into the episode, which is a disappointment since the last episode showed some promise. Kat continues to only care about Kat. We go back to the 1800s, which lost much of its appeal (if there was ever any appeal), and any sense of time travel rules seem to be out the window. 

But then we moved on to The Spencer Sisters and met a new love interest for Darby. Andrea appreciated there was less conflict between Victoria and FDarby and enjoyed the scenery of the vineyard. While Eric continued enjoying every time Victoria was on the screen. And Victoria finds a new love and does a wicked tango as well.

It took Dylan Neal several years to agree to do a podcast. He knows he can't hold himself from telling you like it is. But once the damn was broken, he felt he had more to share, and we appreciated it. He doesn't sugarcoat things but isn't vengeful or petty, either. He just tells it like it is. 

So grab a latte or brew some tea, put in the headphones, and have a listen.

Victor Webster has long been one of our favorite actors, and when he joined the Hannah Swensen Hallmark mystery franchise, we couldn't have been more excited. We sat down with Victor and talked about joining Hannah, Delores, and the rest of the gang as the newest cast member, DA Chad Norton. 

But we couldn't let Victor come on the podcast and not discuss Summer Villa, quite possibly the best Hallmark movie of all time. 

So sit back, pour a cup of tea, and enjoy getting to know Victor Webster. 

Reality Bites: A Hannah Swensen Mystery starring Alison Sweeney, Victor Webster, Gabriel Hogan, and Barbara Niven will premiere on Hallmark Mysteries on February 6th.

In our weekly dive into the pond, we discuss the 5th episode of The Way Home, Reeling in the Years. After a week of optimism after the 4th episode, this one took a huge step backward with conflicts that don't make sense, plots that are going who knows where, and back to time travel rule-breaking. 

We are left asking the question, does anyone like Kat?

Then we discussed The Spencer Sisters, which we thought we would agree. But we didn't. Andrea gets triggered over the mother/daughter bickering, which is one of the main reasons Eric enjoys the show. But we also had a difference of opinions on the actual mystery.

The time has come to conclude our breakdown of the Gourmet Detective series as we discuss Roux the Day. Henry and Maggie are firmly cemented in their relationship in this movie as they return to the show's roots with an epicurean mystery. 

We also get more of Henry's dad, as their restaurant is key to solving the mystery. 

And since this was the final episode, we each ranked all five mysteries from our "least" favorite to our favorite. 

Lastly, Andrea played a fun, elaborate, sleuther game called Unsolved Case Files where you get a box full of clues and have to crack the case. To learn more https://www.unsolvedcasefiles.com/

It's time for our weekly dive into the pond. While we have not been loving The Way Home for a while, this episode transported us back to our Season One vibes. A lot of the confusion of who can time travel was explained in this episode, and we finally have a sense of what is going on. Are we all the way back in? Maybe not. 

The off to The Spencer Sisters Episode 4, The Restaurantuer's Ruin. We are loving this series and the characters. Eric is a little more due to his Gen X crush on Lea Thompson.  While we may have disagreed on the core quality of the mystery, we both loved the unraveling of the mystery.

We discuss the fourth Gourmet Detective movie, Eat Drink, and Be Buried. The episode starts with a hilarious mix-up that turns deadly. We also saw a very young Chris McNally and our recent guest, Lucie Guest, in an acting role. 

We are treated to more sizzling chemistry between Henry and Maggie. We also glimpse Henry's back story as we meet his dad. 

The mystery may not have been our favorite, but the character development shines and the sleuthing is great.

In this episode, we break down a couple of 3rd episodes. 

First, we discuss what is going on with the pond on the Landry farm in The Way  Home S3 EP3. As this season unfolds, we are left with more questions than answers. And not the good type of questions. The magic of the pond was once unique and intriguing but now seems to be universal knowledge. Couple that with plot holes that seem to be arising from everyone's time-traveling, and you get what is shaping up to be a mess. 

Then we move on to the delightful mystery series on Hallmark Plus, The Spenser Sisters. The mother-daughter chemistry is off the charts, making the show absolutely delightful. The writing is snappy, and the acting is impressive. While we can't wait to get out of the pond, we are practicing self-restraint to keep from binging the entire series in one sitting.
