Andrea and Eric are back to break down the final waves of the Hallmark Channel Winter Escapes programming event! In this episode, we dive deep into the hit Missing the Boat, starring Kristoffer Polaha and Emilie Ullerup. Was the chemistry as electric as we hoped, or did this Italian cruise romance sink in the Aegean?

We also discuss the surprise "mystery" rom-com Rescued by Love starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Luke Macfarlane.

We also rank the entire January slate, discuss the recent news regarding Hallmark's unscripted programming, and look ahead to a massive March filled with new mysteries. Plus, stick around for our "Bold Predictions" where we discuss the potential return of fan-favorites like Garage Sale Mystery and Mystery 101.
