Hallmark Movie - "Holiday Hotline" - feat. Jack Harbison!

Ep. 16

or: "You'll Believe a Man Can Fry"


Well, well, well! This was a movie with many names, sponsored, we think, by the Nickname Organization (to donate, please send any and all donations to Venmo at @paigeharbison)


This is a movie about a "British" "chef" who works at a holiday hotline for people who cook their turkeys with the plastic on and then call other adults to ask if it's okay to do that. She falls in love with someone, and they have in common the fact that they are both lying about their names. But he hates that about her.


In this one, we discuss the correct chicken way to pronounce "MACABRE," we learn about Gazoo, and Jack plays the guitar for .8 seconds at the very end with EXTREME reluctance. "You'll Believe a Man Can Fry" was Jack's alt title which he got in the first record of the episode (yes we had to record this one TWICE) and forgot about in this one, so please appreciate his Superman reference.


Speaking of Jack, his new album is out! Check it out on Spotify and Apple Music! Every listen helps!


Here's the book of Beth's that we reference, Secrets of A Shoe Addict. It's a sequel, but you can read out of order if you want. Otherwise, here is the first one! And hey let's go totally out of order, here's the third one, a novella, which became a Hallmark movie!


And thank you so much for listening and sharing and downloading and rating us. It makes more of a difference than we ever knew when we were just listeners of podcasts. Tell all your nameless friends! Share on socials! Tell the worlllllld!

  • 155. HOLIDAY RERUN! "The Santa Summit"

    01:23:45||Ep. 155
    RE-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!!

    01:17:01||Ep. 154
    If you've been around a while, you'll know that getting one of the girls from actual Santa Summit is just about the biggest deal ever?!? We have the lovely, talented, effervescent Stephanie Sy on the pod today covering the classic, White Christmas! If you haven't heard it, we really encourage you to listen to the Santa Summit episode, where we all had a bottle of wine and waxes rhapsodic for an hour about the magical film.
  • 153. Holiday Season Kickoff - “Serendipity” feat. Sophie Cousens!

    Sophie 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. 152
    2025 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. 151
    RERUN!!!!! 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.
