We weren't always happy with the choices the adaptation made, but we also recognize that this series has special significance for those who grew up watching it.

For our holiday episode, we first chose Last Christmas. But, after being very disappointed with that film, we moved on to Happiest Season...and hated that movie also.

Stacy gives us the inside scoop on Candy Cane Lane, Tabby is fed up with film sets of apartments, and Sam is not allowed to pick a movie ever again.

To celebrate the first day of fall we are covering The Scapegoat- a novel by Daphne du Maurier, which takes place over the course of one autumnal week in the French countryside.
