Classic Movie - "Return to Oz"

In honor of WICKED being released today, we're sharing a previous Patreon-only episode, talking with the fabulous and funny author, Laura Hankin, about this weird movie from the 80's. Unlike the Judy Garland version, this movie follows the original L. Frank Baum stories more faithfully - it helps to know that going in. A creepy Halloween classic, presented to you for...Thanksgiving. Enjoy! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Netflix Movie - "Hot Frosty" Part Two

This is part two of two. We had a watch party with Paige's lifelong bff, Emily, and Jack's fiance, June! Unsurprisingly everyone had a LOT to say about this one. Obviously we realize this is not supposed to be a serious drama but is it too much to ask that Hot Frosty be...hot?If you want to enjoy our episodes without commercials, look for us on Patreon!

Hallmark Movie - "Santa Tell Me"

This movie sure inspired us. Believe it or not, MOST of our complaints ended up on the cutting room floor, but there was no way to cover this one without pointing out that there was zero chemistry among any of the leads and the sister character was obviously dead. Not only that, but the family had clear left the house in a huge and desperate hurry 25 years ago. But our plucky heroine has no damns to give for sentiment. It's bonkers.Remember - all episodes are available commercial-free on Patreon! Go ahead and patronize us for the Christmas season, all the cool kids are doing it! :) Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hallmark Movie - "Tis the Season to be Irish" Part Two

This is part two!For this (two part!) episode, we are joined by the lovely, funny, and authentically Irish actress, Amy Shiels! How lucky for all of us! She sets us straight on some "conventional wisdom" about Ireland, specifically Irish songs; but she spends most of the time proclaiming her absolute adoration of Hallmark movies. They should get on that and hire her, pronto! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hallmark Movie - "Trivia at St. Nick's" Part Two

The hilarious Sophia Benoit, author of "Well, This is Exhausting", joins us to discuss Triva at St. Nick's. We have a lot to say, hence the two parts. Stick around after the end of episode one for a sample of Jack's excellent song, "Sorry Sorry Sorry." (Some of us are over-apologizers). Remember, if you prefer no commercials, we do have a Patreon where every episode comes ad-free and we have special Patreon-only episodes and group chats. Either way, we appreciate you!

Hallmark Movie - "Holiday Mismatch" Part One

Hilda and Zelda Spellman are reuinited! And so are the Harbison crew - Jack joins us for HOLIDAY MISMATCH, starring two of our faves from the 90's sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Salem did not join them, alas - it might have made this better. But this is still a semi-fun movie, and a very fun discussion! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Hallmark Movie - "Our Christmas Story"

What a delightful surprise this is! Very cute, somewhat believable, with charming leads. This is a movie that evokes the feeling of a coffee commercial, relaxing on a soft sofa in a sunny Christmas-decorated living room, listening to a good story. Not a great story, but a solidly good one. And there's a train. Two thumbs pretty much up. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hallmark Movie - "A Carol for Two"

It's exactly what it sounds like. A singing movie. A duet. Overwrought vocals. Muddy plot. Both leads have lovely voices but was this the place and the way to display them? You tell us! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hallmark Movie - "5 Year Christmas Party"

Lucky episode 13 of season 3. Beth hated it. A lot of her loathing had to be cut. Apologies in advance if you loved this movie. But if you want to know what it's about, it's a little story about theater kids being theater kids way past the time they should be grown ups. There. You're welcome.

Hallmark Movie - "Christmas Charade"

Another movie based on simple misunderstandings and people who could have used their words right from the beginning and avoided all the confusion. If that's your thing, you're in for a treat - there was a LOT of confusion. There was a mildly interesting story with the parents, and a couple of funny moments, but if this is how the FBI works, we're all in trouble! Hide your jewels!

Hallmark Movie - "Scouting for Christmas"

We ddi NOT predict well on this one, mostly because we thought it was going to be a bit more progressive. Like when Peter Brady decided to become a Sunflower Girl to make a point. But no, this was an all-girls troop of Sunny Scouts with an evil Den Mother with nothing better to do than reject the best damn muffins they could ever have at the Sunny Scouts ball.... Whatever, Tamara Mowry is a beacon of charm and light in this otherwise-meh production. And frankly she makes the whole thing worth watching. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
