Hallmark Movie Review

Season 2 Episode 20. This is episode 44: Hallmark Movie Review

This week we have another little one-off show. We are talking about our favorite (and not so favorite) Hallmark movies…among other things.

If you are interested in joining a group chat where we share our recommendations, let us know at theactivitycontinues@gmail.com it will likely be a WhatsApp group chat so that it’s not dependent upon any one social media platform.

Stuff we talked about:

Triggery stuff: Dogs eating poop, cults

Other stuff: How gross dogs are, Megan’s shark fleet from Fahlo, and the thin line between making sure your kids aren’t to trusting and scaring the shit out of them. Amy talks about the Moonies. Megan tells us how she got lost driving home. And then we really get into it discussing Hallmark Holiday movies.

Movies talked about. These can be found various places around the web, but a lot of them are on Peacock or the Frndly app.

Megan’s recommendations:

You Cast a Spell on Me (not Xmas - Halloween) 5/5 magic wands

Wedding Every Weekend (not Xmas) 5/5 bouquets

Jingle Bell Bride 3/5 hot cocoas

The Gingerbread Romance negative 10/5 – so not a recommendation

The Baker’s Son (not Xmas) 4/5 loaves of bread

Falling for Vermont 5/5

Other Amnesia ones: Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas and Falling for Christmas (Netflix, Li-lo)

October Kiss (Xmas - Halloween) 5/5 leaves

Amy’s recommendations:

Christmas Bedtime Stories 4/5 hot chocolates

Jolly Good Christmas 3.5/5 shopping carts (no hot cocoas)

A Very Merry Bridesmaid 10/5 hot cocoas and gorgeous leading men

Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery 4/5 plums

Tale of Two Christmases 4/5 hot cocoas

Disclaimer:

This podcast is in no way affiliated with the Travel Channel, Painless TV, or the TV show The Dead Files or any of its cast or crew. We’re just a couple of fans that love the show and want to build a community of like-minded people who would enjoy hanging out and discussing the episodes and similar content.

Content Warning:

This is a general content warning, many of the episodes of the TV show talk about murders, some even involving children. So that may come up in our conversation as well. So please proceed with that in mind. But if you already watch The Dead Files you’ll be prepared.

Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.
