In honor of Betty White, Emily and Sophia decided to watch and review The Lost Valentine.  This movie had the girls all in their feels, with tears galore.  The movie touches on the military, keeping hope alive, Valentine's Day, and true love.  All favorites for Emily and Sophia. 

Yes, that's the legitimate name of the most recent Aurora Teagarden movie that we watched, and if you're unsure about our opinion...well, let's just say the title was the best part of the movie. Basically more people are murdered and Aurora enlists her sleuthy brain and endless small town connections to help find the bad guy and solve the case. We also tested our chick flick knowledge with an ever-so-accurate Buzzfeed quiz! Can you beat our score? Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @hallmark_remarkspod. Tune in next time when we cover The Lost Valentine, a Hallmark original starring the Queen, Betty White (RIP). 

Emily and Sophia review the second movie in the Aurora Tea Garden Series. This movie had the girls on the edge of their seats as they tried to figure out who the killer really was.  They spend time discussing the movie, whether or not they liked it, and sorted out their feelings on the wardrobe choices (see: suede booties whilst traipsing around wet grass). 

Sophia has a big announcement to share with the world.  She also reads off online dating experiences that listeners sent in to be talked about on the pod.  They were WILD and help those who have never done it to understand why it can be a weird experience.    

Emily has Covid and Sophie is still snowed (iced?)-in, so come join us as we chat about our newest endeavor: covering the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series on Hallmark. A Bone to Pick is the first in this book-turned-movie series starring our fave, Candace Cameron Bure, who plays Aurora Teagarden, a small town librarian who is known as a master sleuth. When her friend Jane unexpectedly dies and leaves Aurora everything in her will, she also leaves a troubling murder mystery. It's up to Aurora to piece together the clues and solve the murder before she becomes the next victim. Dun dun dunnnnn! 

Next move in the series - Real Murders: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery 

Emily and Sophia are back and ready to talk about some Hallmark Movie Classics!  First up, What the Deaf Man Heard.  Due to some trauma that a young boy experiences, he pretends to be deaf and mute.  The movie follows his journey as a young man who is trying to figure out his role in the small town he lives in, while continuing to pretend to be deaf and mute.  It's a wild ride, full of a star studded cast! 

This week's episode is a chance for Sophia and Emily to close the Christmas movie season out.  They finish the discussion on Die Hard being a Christmas movie or not with a guest appearance from Nigel Highton who shares his thoughts on the movie!  The girls had a lot of fun listening to his take and giving their reactions to his reasoning.  

A few movies to end this Christmas season were reviewed, including one with THE Lacey Chabert.  Did they love them?  Hate them?  Tune in to find out! 

Emily and Sophia reached out to the listeners, their coworkers, their family members, and their friends to gather opinions on whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie.  They dissect the arguments and then share their opinions.  It's a great listen for anyone on the fence or for anyone who has the incorrect opinion.  If you've ever needed solid talking points to back up your stance, boy do they bring them! 

Sophia also watched what she has decided is her favorite cheesy Christmas movie of 2021....and reviewed it for you!  What was the movie and why did she love it so much?  Listen to this week's episode to find out!

Jingle All the Way (Disney+) with Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the movies that Emily and Sophia discussed.  Sophia had never heard of it before she watched it with friends, while Emily grew up watching it.  So, they had A LOT to talk about!  The type of movie it is, funny quotes, and overall vibes of the movie. Is this a cult classic, or something that should be left in the past?  The girls share whether they think YOU should add it to your list!

Other movies discussed were: White Christmas (Netflix), While You Were Sleeping (Disney+), and Coyote Creek Christmas (Hallmark/Frndly). 

A familiar face in a cheesy Christmas movie?! SIGN. US. UP. 

Emily has a friend who acts in the Hulu movie Cupid for Christmas, so she watched it and gave us all the deets on it.  The good, the bad, the ugly, and the thumbs up or down on if we should watch it ourselves!

Emily is graduating!  A long journey finally coming to a blissful end.  Hear all about the outfit and day details of this HUGE event!

Sophia goes on a rant about Die Hard having less Christmas things than the movie Mean Girls.  This episode is Part 1 of the ridiculous debate on whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie.  

A Princess for Christmas, Princess Switch 3, A Christmas Competition, 8-Bit Christmas, and A Christmas Family Tree were all reviewed this week by Emily and Sophia.  Each movie had it's own unique story line revolving around the ever so wonderful holiday of Christmas.  

Emily is a sucker for the older Hallmark movies, so she watched and reviewed A Princess for Christmas.  It is a 2011 flick that involved a visit to Castlebury (clever) and a healing relationship with the estranged royal family.  Is it worth the watch?  Emily will tell ya!

Sophia spent her Thanksgiving break watching all the Christmas movies.  Princess Switch 3 is the third (and hopefully final) movie in the series.  Vanessa Hudgeons plays a baker, a princess/queen, and the cousin to the princess/queen.  There's a priceless decoration from the Vatican that goes missing, a growing love interest between 2 spies, and an estranged mother/daughter relationship that needs mending.  Should you watch it?  Hear Sophia's take to decide for yourself!

A Christmas Competition was a must watch considering Candace Cameron Bure stars in it.  Yule wanna hear all about the holly jolly good time Sophia had watching this Fuller House reunion movie. 

8-Bit Christmas is a Neal Patrick Harris gem of a movie that'll have you all in your Sandlott and Home Alone feels.  Needing a new Christmas movie, but wanting something well done?  Here's your pick.  Quality storyline, excellent acting, and hilarity the whole family will love!

If you've ever wanted to see how an online ancestry test plays out......then you should watch A Christmas Family Tree.  There's skinny ties, paternal discoveries, and gift giving expertise to be seen! 

You can find these movies on the following streaming platforms: 

A Princess for Christmas (Netflix)

Princess Switch 3 (Netflix)

A Christmas Competition (Frndly)

8-Bit Christmas (HBO Max)

A Christmas Family Tree (Frndly)
