This week on the pod, we're reviewing 'Love at Sunset Terrace', a feel-good movie where a city gal goes to a small town and falls in love. Are we shocked?

SHOW NOTES:

This week Aya and KB potentially find the second worst movie they've watched! What made it so!?

Synopsis: Stephanie and Ben have only been dating for 6 months but that doesn't stop Ben from proposing on their anniversary.

Can they get her sister's wedding organized before the 4th of July (just 4 weeks away)!?

SHOW NOTES:

Is this Hallmark Channel movie the worst one we've ever seen??

Spoiler... it's not.

But, we do have some strong opinions about this one, particularly Aya.

Synopsis: Busy chocolatier Charlotte has left mechanic James at the altar twice. Now she needs to prove to him that she really does want to marry him. Things are complicated when James' ex-girlfriend arrives on the scene and says she wants him back.
