A 2001 movie about a British soldier and an Italian woman, at the height of World War II. 

This movie is based on a true story and got some deep conversations out of Emily and Sophia regarding community and having a moral compass that is consistent and true.  You will need to listen to the episode to hear if they recommend the movie! 

Ever wanted to watch a terrible road trip movie? Well, have we got the movie for you!

It's gotta terrible, un-witty banter and years long grudges that make absolutely no sense! 

Check out this week's episode for Emily and Sophia's take on less-than-stellar Hallmark movies.  And how they think it could've been better.  

*Breaking News* Sophia and Emily decide to take on some major topics that could potentially split their audience...like, does pineapple really belong on pizza? Is women's fashion completely missing the mark, or are clothing choices at their peak? Find out who is on Team Pineapple and who has a bone to pick with the gardening world.

What do you get when you have a dog rescue and a handsome stranger in the military?  Well, a new Spring themed Hallmark movie, of course!

The dog rescue is being told they'll have to close their doors unless a miracle can happen.  And our military guy is experiencing family ties for the first time in years.  It's a recipe for a fun movie.

One of the girls loved it.  One thought it was a grown up version of a Disney Channel Original Movie.  Give this episode a listen and the movie a watch to decide for yourself!

The part 2 you've been waiting on! Sophia answers more questions about her foster care-to-adoption-journey, and in this episode, we go a little bit deeper into how Sophia's psychology degree played into the process. The gals discuss different coping tools used during stressful times, how to navigate the holidays, what it's like working alongside bio families, and more. Stay until the end to hear Sophia recall her favorite memories with Hailey thus far, and what their goals for this summer entail.

Bunberry is the Hallmark version of Genovia.  And they have a Princess who has fallen in love with a painter from Chicago.  She MUST go to him to see if it is true love.

Along the way, she gets close to her body guard, and the question of "Love at First Sight" gets challenged. 

What will she do?  Well, Emily, Sophia, and special royal guest Lord Nigel Heighton dissect the movie and give you all the deets to determine if this movie was a bust or a knock out.

Also, how do we feel about diamond engagement rings?  Listen all the way to the end to find out!

Emily finally got her life together and edited an episode!! In this episode, your favorite Hallmark Queens chat about birthdays, weekend getaways, and childhood trauma from divorced parents! What a trifecta. The movie for this week is A Second Chance at Love, Hallmarks newest (like it's still on Hallmark Channel kinda new) movie that stars Gloria Reuben, Alvina August, Jarod Joseph, and Eriq La Salle. One couple's marriage is amiss and rather than facing it, our main character immerses herself in her divorced parents' dating lives by setting them up on a dating app. What could possibly go wrong, right? Emily and Sophia had mixed reviews, so give this episode a listen to hear what they thought. 

Sophia has been a foster parent for a couple of years, and recently adopted her daughter, Hailey!  Emily spends some time interviewing her to ask listener submitted questions about her journey.  Why did she decide to become a foster mom?  Did she want to adopt?  What is something she tells people who are interested in becoming foster parents? 

Check out Part 1 of this interview series!  You WON'T wanna miss these. 

Have you ever been confused by your Brother-In-Law Husband's feelings for you? 

Really?  Neither have we!  

Loving Leah is a movie about the Jewish faith, traditions, and religion.  There are some aspects that were very new to Sophia and Emily that they enjoyed discussing.  The movie itself had some great parts (lookin' at you, Emily the Housekeeper) and some not so great parts (.....still peeved about those).  What do the girls think about the movie overall?  Give this episode a listen to find out! 

Welcome this week's special guest host; you've heard his voice before but now experience his commentary in real time! Mr. Nigel Highton, everyone (*sounds of a roaring crowd). This movie was a doozy...along with the last several weeks in both Soph and Emily's lives, so that's why you had to wait so long for this. In our opinion, it's worth the wait. Take a listen as we all dissect this gem of a movie and get into some good conversations along the way. Time Changer can be streamed free on Pluto TV or it is available to rent on Amazon.
