The time has come for us to see just how much film quality suffers by conservative values. That's right! 2025's A Cinderella Christmas Ball is a Great American Family production, and you can tell! Emily is joined by blogger, podcaster, and birthday boy Kevin Matthews for this special investigation into fake European kingdoms, magical reversible peacoats, and tongue-less orphans. 
Be sure to listen to Kevin's podcast, Raiders of the Podcast, and follow his blog, which covers a whole lot of these movies: https://foritismansnumber.blogspot.com/
And don't forget to check out Emily's video stream production of her original Hallmark parody here: https://caveat.stellartickets.com/events/the-lost-hallmark-christmas-movie-live/occurrences/e11259f6-84cd-437a-b4d7-6c56bbd565b1

"God bless us, everyone," but said in the most monotone line reading possible. It's A Christmas Carol by way of Hallmark! For 2025's Christmas Above the Clouds, Emily is joined by podcasters Brandi & David Jackola. As is customary, tangents ensue. Would you expect anything less? 
Be sure to follow @brandiwine.bsky.social and @djevildave.bsky.social and listen to their Star Trek podcasts Boldly Go and Shield Podulation.
And don't forget: there's still time to stream Emily's show through December 26th!

What better way to spend the holidays than a full week trip with your adult family? Emily hops in the passenger seat of a German motorcar driven by the one and only Jason Fozzie Nelson to sail through the Hallmark Channel's A Keller Christmas Vacation, with plenty of detours to the Hallmark Peacoat Closet.

It's a freaky festive Friday when Emily and guest star Elwood Jones team up for a body swap! Today's movie is 2015's Christmas Trade, starring William Baldwin as a stiff lawyer dad to a perfectly normal 11-year-old who becomes a stumbling buffoon when an ugly magical teddy bear pulls a Vice Versa. Be sure to follow Elwood's various projects:

Don't mess with ex-mas. Emily returns to that shiny Netflix well with the one and only Christine Makepeace to tackle 2025's A Merry Little Ex-Mas, the film that gives us the best of Alicia Silverstone in velvet, Melissa Joan Hart in Dress Barn, and tearaway tuxedos the way they were always meant to be.

Isn't it weird to see Cozy Cardigan Christmas movies made with budgets? Long-time beloved Special Guest Star Elizabeth Katheryn Gray joins Emily to shop around Sterling's Department Store in Netflix's Jingle Bell Heist. There are twists, turns, and actual songs that cost money!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and you know what that means: Stocking Stuffers are back! Emily starts the season with a solo visit to Garland, Alaska, where Hallmark decides to get vengeance on Candace Cameron Burre by making a sequel without her to 2014's Christmas Under Wraps. This episode includes a far too detailed dissection of 2022's A Cozy Christmas Inn, complete with diversions to Gene Siskel and Emily's new favorite IMDB bio of all time. Have a listen, and be sure to grab your live or live/laterstream tickets to Emily's December Christmas show!

It's the episode where Emily and Christine discuss everything they know about slashers and even more things they don't! We go over the rules, our favorites, our controversies, and much more. Happy Halloween!

Tune up that tractor and pack that pasta salad! On this perfectly thematically tied episode, Christine and Emily explore aging with two wildly different films. First up is M. Night. Shyamalan's OLD, which...doesn't go well. We redeem ourselves with the absolutely astounding feat that is David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY. Spoilers abound everywhere, and all this is best enjoyed with a Miller Lite and can of braunschweiger.
