Long Story Short with Megan and Wendy: The Podcast

In this week's Girls Gone Christmas episode of the podcast, Megan and Wendy discuss A Nashville Christmas Carol which stars Jessy Schram and Wes Brown. This was a modern day retelling of A Christmas Carol with a country twist.

The ghosts of Christmas Past (Kix Brooks) and Present (Kimberly Williams Paisley) visit Vivian, played by Jessy Schram, to help her rediscover a lost love-interest Gavin (Wes Brown,) with a little help from Marilyn Jinway (Wynona Judd) the modern-day Jacob Marley.

How will Megan and Wendy rate A Nashville Christmas Carol?

We were joined on the podcast by special guest Marianne Canada. This will be her third season rating and reviewing Christmas movies on Instagram stories. You can find all of the movies she has reviewed this year, as well as her Instagram story template for creating your own reviews, in her Instagram highlights.

In this week's Girls Gone Christmas episode, Megan and Wendy recap Hallmark Channel's "A Timeless Christmas" starring Ryan Paevey and Erin Cahill. Listen in as the girls recap and review the tale of Charles Whitley (Ryan Paevey), who mysteriously disappears in 1903 and awakes in a non-pandemic 2020. Will Megan Turner (Erin Cahill) fall for this time traveler and will they experience the true joy of the Christmas holiday?

Does A Timeless Christmas stand the test of...time?

Fun facts about A Timeless Christmas

A Timeless Christmas was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This article from Heavy.com talks about the set location at historic Hycroft Manor.

Though filmed during the late summer of 2020, this movie which takes place in 2020 does not depict any of what we know 2020 to be.

This Hallmark Channel Christmas movie was first a book written by Alex Stanton. We think this explains why there is one through-line with the plot, instead of 10 as seen in Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater.

In this episode Megan and Wendy rate and review Hallmark Channel's On The 12th Date of Christmas, part of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas series. Jennifer (Mallory Jansen) and Aiden (Tyler Hynes) team up in this movie about game designers who are forced to work together to create a scavenger hunt for a local Chicago hotel.

Fun fact: Megan's favorite Hallmark movie actor is Tyler Hynes, whose fans have given themselves the unfortunate nickname #hynies. We're sorry Tyler, but we still love you.
