Every year, dozens of movies come out at Christmastime that nobody talks about. People watch them, people love them, but they rarely get reviewed and don't have many tie-in interviews with the cast and crew. These are the Hallmark Christmas movies, and they are lighthearted fantasies that promote romance and family values and, not for nothing, keep a lot of hardworking entertainers and filmmakers employed all year 'round.We've been dedicating a segment every week to these Hallmark Christmas movies on The B-Movies Podcast this year, and now we are ecstatic to present to you an exclusive interview with filmmaker Jim Fall, whose film A Holiday Engagement (now available on Netflix) is a perennial favorite on The Hallmark Channel. In this candid, extended interview he explains how this strange corner of Hollywood works, how to put together a hit screenplay for Hallmark Christmas movies, and behind the scenes story of wonder and woe.Why did Judd Nelson go insane on Jim Fall's set?
