A Podcast For Christmas

It's me… ho ho hello! I'm the podcast , it's me! … Does that work? Welcome to the most deeply heterosexual movie we've covered so far…, so obviously I've drafted in my favourite lesbian Eilis to cover this one.I guess Lifetime is just allowed to publish Real Person Fiction these days? I thought we had all decided that that was a weird thing to do in the AO3 era….anyway…join us as we discuss Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's fictionalized relationship, tall man concert etiquette and how there's a terrorism joke in this movie?!

Ho ho have you ever been so down bad you start eyeing up the local snowmen.... me neither. However, this weeks movie dares to dream. When you think about the implications, this is technically a semi horrifying paranormal romance so I've drafted in my lovely Liv, of Midnight Fun fame, to unpack... all of that.Join us to chat about the latest iteration in the NCCU (Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe), Hot Frosty.[EDM Version of The Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy Plays]

Ho ho hello... or should I say ho ho halò (this is what Google told me was hello in Scottish Gaelic... sorry). Katie has brought her Senior Scottish Correspondent Meg back to be lovingly mocked by both our host and the Hallmark corporation at large.Tune in for tiny horses, alarming bagpipes and a complete historically account account of the landed gentry.

In the first episode of our new festive season Katie and Annie are back with a bang...quite literally as this movie starts with a good old bash over the head. So, wait? We're doing ghosts? You bet. Join us in this murder for Christmas as we try to answer the eternal questions: What if The Woman In Black was a holiday romance?

False advertising this week when Katie and Meg sit down to watch 'A Castle for Christmas' and to their horror find there is nary a castle nor hardly any Christmas in sight! Not to worry as there's still enemies to lovers, 'there was only one bed castle', and more Scottish stereotypes than you can shake a bagpipe at!

This week join Katie and Annie to venture cautiously into the weirdest holiday romance yet, with dubiously legal private investigators, secret babies and a sound designer let loose- oh my!

On the second episode of the podcast Lifetime's first Lesbian Holiday Romance gave to me: 12 trees a-whispering, 11 Halloween homes, 10 chickens coop-in, 9 ladies dancing, 8 magic owls, 7 clunky references, 6 classic flannels, 5 u-hauls, 4 ugly bangs, 3 tarot cards, 2 crafting vests and girls with no chemistryyyyy. Join Katie and her favourite lesbian Eilis on a deep dive into Under The Christmas Tree.

Katie & Liv take a tumble into the strange town of Angel Falls just in time for Christmas.

Snuggle up by our virtual fireplace as host Katie attempts to take her friends from skeptics to sentimentals in A Podcast For Christmas. Deep dive into the festive fluff as we debate cynicism vs escapism, Christmas spirit vs capitalism and romance vs realism all through the lens of Hallmark-esque Holiday movies. We'll ask - and keep asking - despite lack of on screen representation are these camp classics? Are they making the yuletide gay enough? Are these movies, in fact, a sleigh? Hosted on Acast.
