Hallmark Classic - "Hats Off to Christmas!" feat. Jen Lancaster! PART TWO
Or...."Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-Hat" -- PART TWO!"
Man, oh, man. If you know this movie, you know it. If you don't, you are in for QUITE a film. For one thing, absolutely watch it. They truly do not make them like this anymore. They just don't. This quality is unmatched. It's so bad in the best way. It has it all. It has Lizzie McGuire's sister in 2013 dressed like she's in 2004 playing a 26 year old former teen mom who acts like a middle aged woman, it has a wheelchair-bound child whose father died in a car wreck who wants nothing more than to drive fast in cars who miraculously walks by the end because his paralysis was psychosomatic, it's got patient zero, it's got zero chemistry, and most of all, it has a year round hat shop that gets saved by the brilliant business decision of opening MORE hat shops. Also this is a halloween movie and a Christmas movie but thanksgiving is completely omitted.
It is insane.
And we were so lucky to have on the brilliant Jen Lancaster!!! You've probably read her work, but if you haven't, you've read someone inspired by her. She's fabulous and she was REAL fired up. Get your wine ready for this one.
Find Jen at Jennsylvania.com or on Instagram and pick up her new book, House Moms! You can also find her personal Hallmark bingo cards here.
Also she mentioned the podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern, and Paige mentioned the episode of MST3K about the movie just called Santa Claus. It's perfect. Also love Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. MST3K is on Tubi for anyone who wants to give them a watch!

01:23:45||Ep. 155RE-RELEASE TIME - in honor of having Stephanie Sy on the pod, we're re-rereleasing one of our favorite episodes!or: "The Harbisons Get Religion"Welp. This movie is perfect. I'd apologize, but this might have been our favorite episode to record to date. Was it because we'd consumed a bottle and a half of wine before deciding to record the podcast in the middle of the night after watching the movie because we just COULDN'T WAIT to talk about it?? Yeah, partially. But also, rarely does Hallmark give us a gift that is this GOOD! Especially when the trailer gave us the LOWEST expectations. Ugh, look at me. Look at me! I can't even stop in the caption. I must control myself.As always, thank you so much for listening and sharing. We are so grateful to our listeners!!

We have the lovely, talented, effervescent Stephanie Sy on the pod today covering the classic, White Christmas!

Holiday Season Kickoff - “Serendipity” feat. Sophie Cousens!
01:22:23||Ep. 153Sophie is back! And this time we’re debating whether this movie is good, bad, or both. Grab a frozen hot chocolate and let’s go on a New York Holiday adventure!152. ANNUAL HOLIDAY RERUN - The Christmas Prince **AD-FREE!**
01:08:41||Ep. 1522025 Season Holiday episodes are incoming!!! In the meantime, enjoy this rerun from Patreon! AD FREE! It's like when dr*g dealers give you the first hit free, we're hoping to lure you into Patreon.If you love The Sound of Music so much that you'll settle for anything even remotely similar, this is the movie for you! Not saying that's a bad thing, we actually found it pretty enjoyable. Were there a few ridiculous coincidences? Of course. A cheap device to create pity and a "serious" tone? Indeed. Was there a happy ending? Weirdly enough...we're not going to say. Even though you could guess.151. ANNUAL HOLIDAY RERUN - The Princess Switch **AD-FREE**
57:11||Ep. 151RERUN!!!!! We're getting ready to post a whole lot of new christmas/holiday episodes, but in the meantime enjoy this AD-FREE pre-holiday treat! A sample of the ad-free goodness you get on Patreon!Vanessa Hudgens and Vanessa Hudgens star in The Princess Switch! Little to no effort is made to make this in any way plausible but it's still a pleasant movie. The rental house "Kevin" and "Stacy" have is fantastic, but what isn't beautiful in Belgravia, amirite? Besides the castle.By the way, only one of us thought it was a good idea to leave the rambling intro in. It wasn't Beth.152.

01:01:14||Ep. 152Yes, that's right, Jack is back! For God KNOWS how long, but we're happy to have this little flake back on the show, and this time with his wife in tow!Kick back with your spiked cup of apple cider or blood or whatever and enjoy this week's film, full of wigs, vanity casting, and one unbelievable performance. You'll never GUESS which one of us didn't like it, and it's not who you might think...!Get onto Patreon for no ads! Support us! We need it! Haha, but really
