It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT A CASTLE OF OUR OWN When an overworked architect takes an unexpected summer trip, a sandcastle contest and a contractor help her reconnect with her daughter, rediscover joy, and find love she never saw coming. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A CASTLE OF OUR OWN June 27, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF A CASTLE OF OUR OWN Director: Kay Shioma Metchie Writer: Nina Weinman Cast: Erica Cerra as Marley Brennan Elliott as Adam BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS A dude named Gordo is the GOAT of sand castles. He has been cleaning house at the Vero Beach contest every year, but it's time for him to go home to Cannon Cove and return to his roots. It might be a smaller competition, but it'll just be nice to go home. Marley is an overworked mom. Her daughter Lily is over it. But it's not just her mom that's a workaholic. Her ex-husband is supposed to take Lily to Cannon Cove for a week, but he has a big work thing come up, so he asks Marley to take a couple of days off until he can get up there. She reluctantly agrees. If I have to spend time with my daughter, I have to spend time with my daughter. They get to the rental, and the water isn't working, so they have to call a plumber. She can tell that her daughter is distracted by something, but she won't say what. The plumber shows up, and he's so much hotter than her ex-husband, it's insane. His name is Adam Sullivan, and it turns out he's not a plumber. He's just the neighbor next door who happened to have a toolbox in the bed of his pickup truck. Lily meets Adam's niece, and they bond over their love of art, and she invites her to hang out with some friends. Marley decides to sign her and her daughter up for the sandcastle competition. She goes out to practice, and it's harder than she thought it would be. When she sees how good Adam is at building his castle, she asks if he'll help them get ready for the competition. He gives them a lesson, and they come up with a name - Last One Sanding - and also ask Paige to join their team too. For round one, they decide to go bold with the Eiffel Tower because Lily says since my parents keep promising to take me and never do, this might be the only way I see it. It's not going well, so Adam decides to take them to fly a kite. It's competition time, and they don't quite move on. But they find contraband in one of the other castles, which disqualifies that castle. So they move on!!!! Adam and Marley keep hanging out more, he keeps convincing her not to pick up her phone, and they end up kissing big times. She decides she's going to quit her job and go back into residential architecture all thanks to Adam as her inspiration. It's scary though. There's a lot of financial risk there. Luckily for her, her ex-husband offers to buy a chunk of her ownership in their joint business. They're building their championship build - the pyramids. Our guy Gordo isn't concerned. BUT HE SHOULD BE! Cuz he loses. But Last One Sanding doesn't win either. But they do get honorable mention! Adam and Marley talk and decide it's best if they break things off now since it's clearly not going to work with them not living close. But with the help of HER EX-HUSBAND, he decides to shoot his shot and move to Seattle to be close to her. They kiss some more!

Father's Day in the church can often feel like a strange, high-stakes tension—usually landing somewhere between a heavy guilt trip and a shallow Hallmark greeting card. In this Father's Day episode, Matt Summers and Tommy Lum sit down to unpack a weekend message that intentionally tried to be neither. Instead, the conversation centers on Joseph, perhaps the quietest major character in the entire New Testament, and how his life offers us an incredibly honest, generous, and grounding picture of what faithful presence actually looks like in our lives today. The discussion dives into the powerful, counter-cultural reality of Joseph's story: he never gives a single speech, he never argues with God, and he never demands to explain himself to the culture around him. Instead, he simply wakes up and does exactly what he is told to do, over and over again, in the midst of wild, scandalous circumstances that would easily unravel most of us.  The conversation holds space for every kind of father, father figure, and family dynamic in the room, ending with a deeply hopeful look at why Joseph's quiet disappearance before Jesus' public ministry might just be the most encouraging thing we can say to anyone showing up and doing the hard work for someone else right now.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT THE LOVE HEIST Celebrity stylist Kayli must team up with hotel security chief Mills to track down an iconic piece of fashion history after it goes missing on her watch before the Chicago Costume Gala. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE LOVE HEIST June 20, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF THE LOVE HEIST Director: Kevin Fair Writer: Holly Gent Cast: Lyndsy Fonseca as Kayli Peter Porte as Mills BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We start off the movie WITH THE MEET CUTE! WILD STUFF. We meet Kayli who is pulling up to a hotel, grabs a luggage cart, and is stopped by a hotel worker named Mills. He's makes a joke, they have some cute banter and then she gets bumped into him by a paparazi. He catches her though, don't worry. Once inside, they bump into each other again when he hops on her cart to help him capture a drone out of the air. Kayli works for famed stylaist Celine and heads up to the room and theres a knock at the door. Wouldn't you know it, It's Mills. He has a delivery. It's the dress that they are going to dress famous actor, Rini-Jean. The dress is a big deal. It belonged to Elizabeth Taylor. Mills is like you need to sign this paper releasing the delivery into your hands because security is real tight right now. Apparently, there was already a robbery of something Gala related earlier this week, so the hotel is really locked down and following protocol. He helps her calm down - this is her first time doing this event without Celine there but she thinks Kayli is ready. Mills tells her that he'll be back soon to pick the dress back up and put it in the hotel safe.  We find out that Mills is about to get a big promotion as head of security for the entire hotel chain.  Rini-Jean comes in and tells Kayli she's not thrilled about the designs anymore. She asks Kayli if she can make some changes. So Kayli runs out and gets soem supplies and wips something togehter and Rini-Jean is pumped. She's like aside from the Elizabeth Taylor dress, I want you to change everything. Big stress!  Mills comes back by to grab the dress and that's when they discover that while Kayli was out grabbing supplies, someone came in and stole it!  Naturally, this leads to Kayli and Mills hanging out a ton, getting to know each other, have having some serious flirty flirty fun times.  Naturally, they decide they're gonna go to all of the parties and keep an eye out for a thief.

He knocks on her door one night, and she gives him a dancing lesson and they almost kiss but they're interupted. She's like I gotta go but he's like oh if you think that's gonna stop me and then they kiss big ones!  While at the big party, Reni-Jean gets proposed to but the ring isn't in the dudes pocket. Kayli looks around and sees this suspcious body guard making a run for it, so she follows him. He is about to drop the ring in a drain when Mills comes in and tackles him.

It's Trish's birthday, so of course, everything turns to chaos on Invasion of the Remake.

When we look at the calendar and see “Father's Day,” we immediately see sales and images of the “Hallmark version” of recognition. We see standard pictures of ties, grilling tools, golf clubs, and neatly packaged, flawless family portraits. But if we look into our own lives and families, we know that fatherhood is rarely a neat picture.This is an exploration into the spectrum of the experience of father as we know it in the world. It is also a realization of the presence of the sacred presence of God the Father.God blessRev LeonText Inspiration: Genesis 21:8-21 & Matthew 5:48

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome the Vice President of the Marine Corps Association Foundation, retired Col Tim Mundy, to the scuttlebutt. With Father's Day coming up this weekend, we thought it would be fun to bring someone who is the son of, and father of, a Marine. We mention in the conversation how “Hallmark holidays” are not really our bag, but having the opportunity to talk to someone like Col Mundy about the dynamics of both growing up in a Marine family and raising kids in a Marine household seemed really interesting. We've wanted to get Tim on the show for some time, so this was the perfect excuse. For those who aren't familiar with the Mundy name, Tim's dad, Gen Carl Mundy, was the 30th Commandant of the Marine Corps, serving in that role from 1991 to 1995. Before you roll your eyes, thinking of course we would interview a Commandant's kid, it was really beautiful to hear Tim's story of growing up with a father who would become Commandant, serving as an infantry officer during his dad's tenure as Commandant, and the lessons his dad imparted upon him as he became a father in uniform. This was a great opportunity to hear some of the more human sides of Marine “celebrity” and how, at the end of the day, whether you're the Commandant or a PFC, the relationship between a father and son knows no rank. Enjoy! The post #248: Son, Father, Marine with Col Tim Mundy (Ret.) first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome the Vice President of the Marine Corps Association Foundation, retired Col Tim Mundy, to the scuttlebutt. With Father's Day coming up this weekend, we thought it would be fun to bring someone who is the son of, and father of, a Marine.

This week on Do You Watch What I Watch?, we're reviewing Hallmark Channel's Double Holiday.The ingredients seemed promising: a Christmas celebration, Hanukkah traditions, workplace competition, and Kristoffer Polaha. But despite some strong performances and a story with plenty of potential, this one never fully came together for us.Join Josh and Jennifer as they recap the movie, share the moments that worked, unpack the ones that didn't, and decide whether Double Holiday earns Gold or Coal.As always, we're keeping it kind, keeping it fun, and looking for the good — even when a movie doesn't quite make our nice list.

Ally got into an on-air fight with her arch nemesis Fat Ally, who's attempting to make a comeback during her second pregnancy. We say let Fat Ally take the reins, and the leftovers! Today we heard stories about times your dad solved a problem in the most "dad" way possible. Like the time a girl was sent home for her pants being too big, so her dad duct taped the pants around her waist and sent her back to school. Or the dad who put his kid in a sling using a broomstick. Or the dad who blindfolded his daughter to help her conquer her fear of driving. Thanks for being you, dads! We got an incredible call today from a guy who almost died after being swept away by a wave in Newport Beach, only to be saved by a lifeguard as he clutched onto his son. It got emotional. Listen if you want your heart strings tugged followed by us still making asses of ourselves. We also wrote new Hallmark jokes for our annual Father's Day Card remix, learned the best pre-date ritual in Clickbait, and why queef and potatoes will help you live forever in Old People Secrets!

From playing army on his boyhood farm to portraying some of film's more memorable characters, Bill Sadler's journey proves that great storytelling often begins in the simplest places.Bill and Weezy kick things off with shared memories of growing up in the Buffalo, NY area, where running through the woods, horsing around in the hay loft and inventing games, laid the foundation for Bill's future in storytelling. He launched his performance career with a standup comedy character he created called“Banjo Bill,” who led to a high school teacher encouraging Bill to play the lead role in the school's production of Harvey. By age 18, Bill had shared the stage with a banjo and an invisible rabbit and he was hooked on theater.After studying at SUNY Geneseo and Cornell, Bill immersed himself in the New York theater scene, starring in 75 productions over the course of 12 years and making his way to Broadway in Biloxi Blue! He shares the skinny on working with Neil Simon,  where constant rewrites were both challenging and thrillingly hilarious.The conversation turns to some of Bill's most iconic screen roles, including The Shawshank Redemption. He describes director Frank Darabont's vision of a true ensemble and the A game expected from that stellar cast. Bill reminds us that the film closed in three weeks and only Oscar nominations and audiences discovering its brilliance led to its eventual cultural impact and enduring legacy.He also discusses stepping into his villainous Die Hard 2 role following Alan Rickman's iconic fall from the grace of Die Hard 1. Bill also shares a behind-the-scenes moment when force of childhood habit had him ruing takes with his own machine gun sound effects!Fans of Bill & Ted will appreciate Bill's Grim Reaper hot takes and his confession that in the decades between films, he developed an allergy to the makeup required for the role. So, yes, Bill is allergic to death.The episode closes with a look at Bill's latest work, the short film The Last Days of Byron Bray, which studies a love interest of Leonard  Bernstein. Bill calls it his finest acting to date.And in IMDB Roulette: How the Fonz made Shakespeare cool, Newhart slapstick and The Cartoon President provide the laughter that keeps us from crying.Current media recommendations--Weezy: The Way Home Season 4 on Netflix, Hallmark, Hallmark+ and PrimeProducer Dina: The Boroughs on NetflixPath Points of Interest:William Sadler Fan SiteWilliam Sadler on WikipediaWilliam Sadler on IMDBWilliam Sadler on FacebookWilliam Sadler on XThe Last Days of Byron BrayThe BoroughsThe Way Home Season 4

JP Nerbun's 10-year-old daughter said something on the walk to the bus that stopped him cold: "She's climbing the mountain of achievement without any purpose." That one line is the heart of this entire conversation.This special episode drops on the launch day of JP's new book The Culture Captain — a field guide for athletes learning to lead from the inside out. JP sits down with longtime friend John O'Sullivan, founder of the Changing the Game Project and co-author of Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader (with Jerry Lynch). Two books. Same subject. Written simultaneously, on opposite sides of the Atlantic. They go deep on self-awareness as the foundation of leadership, why modeling behaviors beats locker room speeches, how to have a difficult conversation before you feel ready, and what it means to lead from the bench when things aren't going your way.Whether you coach athletes, lead a team, or are still figuring out who you are as a leader — this one is for you.Chapters(00:00) Intro — JP's Daughter & Book Launch(02:30) Why John Wrote Captain(05:52) Why JP Wrote The Culture Captain(15:54) The Fable Format — Why JP Chose Lily(19:00) The Four Levels of Leadership(25:13) Surprises from Writing(31:15) The Hardest Lesson to Put Into Words(34:05) Hard Conversations as Life Skills(39:15) From Sports to the Workplace(43:48) What Had to Be Left Out(47:08) Approaching a Difficult Teammate(53:05) Coaching the Reluctant Leader(59:43) Tom Brady on Playing Where You Love People(1:01:26) Success vs. Fulfillment(1:04:00) Lead From the Bench(1:09:02) How Will You Know the Book Succeeded?(1:12:43) Why This Book Mattered MostTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."She's climbing the mountain of achievement without any purpose."— JP Nerbun's daughter, age 10"Success is the goal, but it's not the purpose.
