Are you suffering from the winter blues? We certainly are. In this episode, Eric and Andrea sit down to escape reality and review two very different international Hallmark adventures: A Melbourne Match and Love on the Amazon.

We start by discussing the current state of streaming, including rumors about Hallmark+ removing classic mystery shows and how hard it is to keep up with the changing platforms.

Then, we dive into the reviews:

✈️ A Melbourne Match: We absolutely loved the chemistry between Mallory Jansen and the "Game of Thrones guy" (Ryan Corr). We discuss the refreshing lack of a "fake boyfriend" trope, the realistic conflict resolution, and why the Australian setting worked so well.

🐬 Love on the Amazon: Was this movie a dreamy escape or a slow boat ride to nowhere? Andrea rates this one a 2-star "snooze fest," admitting she zoned out halfway through. We debate the existence of "Pink Dolphins" (spoiler: they are real!), the acting style of Jaicy Elliot, and why having a satellite phone would have solved the entire conflict in five minutes.

Hallmark January movies are usually where joy goes to die, but Lost in Paradise just changed the game. Hallmark stranded Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding on a tropical island in Fiji, and somehow, it resulted in the best banter I’ve heard in years!

In this review, we’re breaking down why this is Hallmark’s perfect apology for years of disappointing January releases (looking at you, Love on the Right Course). We discuss the undeniable chemistry between Lacey and Ian, the surprisingly smart character writing for Sofia, and the most ridiculous "survival" details that I just couldn't stop laughing at.

From the "Hallmark-style" plane crash to the pristine island fashion, find out why this movie is the perfect escape—and why we need Ian Harding in every Hallmark movie from now on.

The 2025 Hallmark Christmas season is officially a wrap! With a unique slate of just 24 movies, we are breaking down the good, the bad, and the surprisingly emotional moments of the season.

In this episode, Andrea and I reveal our Top 5 Hallmark Christmas Movies of 2025. We debate the "middle of the road" fatigue that plagued this year, call out the biggest flops (sorry, Christmas on Duty), and share the hidden gems that surprised us both.

We also dive into the controversy of our rankings—including why one of us picked a quirky "making a list" movie as their #2, and why we both fell in love with the emotional depth of The Christmas Baby.

In this video, we discuss:

• The 2025 Slate: How a shorter season of 24 movies affected the quality.
• The Flops: Why Christmas on Duty and The Christmas Cup landed at the bottom of our lists.
• The Surprises: Why Three Wisest Men and a Boy defied the odds to become a favorite.
• The Top 5 Countdown: Our personal rankings from #5 to #1.
• The #1 Movies: A debate between the fun of Melt My Heart This Christmas and the heart of The Christmas Baby.
