But A Royal Christmas may be the movie that finally wins us over.Emily is a Philadelphia seamstress happily dating Leo, until he reveals that “Leo” is actually Prince Leopold, heir to the throne of Cordinia. One transatlantic trip later, Emily is navigating palace protocol, a frosty future mother-in-law, and an ex-girlfriend who arrives just in time to create some royal trouble.Lacey Chabert brings the charm, Jane Seymour understands the assignment, and Jennifer makes a major declaration: This might be her favorite royal Hallmark movie.We're recapping the secret prince, the royal makeover, the scheming queen and everything else that makes this 2014 favorite work so well. Then we'll deliver our official Gold or Coal verdict.

**Exclusive.** We walked the actual studio where *Brother Joseph Again* was built — black walls, plaster busts, death masks, and a replica of the Smith-Larson daguerreotype locket the Church now owns.Joseph Smith is the only latter-day Church president with **no confirmed photograph**. For 182 years the face has been paintings, a death mask, and arguments. These filmmakers say they can finally answer what he looked like.Patrick Bishop (history), Joseph Rickey (forensics), and director Daelynn walk us through:- Why the Church itself kept asking “what did Joseph really look like?”- Rogers vs. Maudsley vs. the death mask — the contraries- John Taylor's bust… and the later letter that said it was *nothing* like Joseph- Why a family locket stayed hidden for 40 years (jewelry, not a parlor portrait)- Why it isn't Hyrum (no mole, no sideburns, wrong lip length)- Skull → death mask → 3D reconstruction → overlay on the daguerreotype- The Scannel image they studied for 10 years and still won't fully kill- Scenes they cut: family likenesses, Hallmark stamps, a 2:30 a.m. “I cannot be an imbecile” momentCardon stays skeptical.

Jennifer finds a locket in a jacket pocket. Classic Jennifer.Jennifer is a part of a book club that does murder mystery parties for charity and they're getting ready to do a Lizzie Borden show. The cast gets into a bit of an argument when it comes to showcasing both sides of the case. THEN, the book that they're using as a historical artifact goes missing! While looking for the book, Jennifer comes across a dead body! It's Isaac Simmons - he was one of the guys really upset about showing both sides of the case. I'll be honest - there's one guy who is an obvious suspect - the guy who runs this inn. He has keys to all the rooms and is just real awkward. Luckily, Detective Frank was already there because he showed up with Jennifer to be a part of the murder mystery. So he immediately begins pulling everyone in for questioning. Jennifer is helping Isaac's stepdaughter, Sierra, when she sees that she has the missing book. UH OH! She claims she has NO IDEA how it got there!Turns out, only Carol's prints are on the book. Who is Carol? She's the one who was leading the murder mystery and brought the book to the party.In a crazy turn of events, the murder mystery party is still a go! And everyone is still in as long as Detective Frank is out.Bad news though - Jennifer gets hit over the head by someone cuz she keeps snooping around! Everyone is so incredibly suspicious and so down to continue with the play.So, they decide to go forward with it but keep an eye on all the suspects. What we don't know is that Jennifer looked in the closet yesterday and there were 3 door knobs, now there's only 2. That means it could only be one person - the guy who runs the inn! He admits it really easily. They all celebrate. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Andrea picked 2017's A Harvest Wedding for her favorite fall rewatch, and Eric came along to see if Victor Webster and Jill Wagner's farm set romance still holds up. Andrea gives it a full five out of five. Eric has a longer list of questions about crop rotation, barn maintenance, and a farmer somehow growing seventeen different vegetables, but both of them agree the ending is one of the more surprising Hallmark has ever pulled off.What You'll Hear:• The recap: a rising New York wedding planner gets hired to plan a wedding back in her hometown, on the farm run by her first love• Andrea's five out of five rating, and every reason the farm itself doesn't hold up as a real working farm• Eric's take on Victor Webster's effortless charm versus a harvest timeline that makes no agricultural sense• Why Jill Wagner's character comes in a little too bossy before she softens up• Marcus Rosner and Marin McMahon's turns as scene stealing side characters• The coffee cup and whipped cream moment, and the ending twist that breaks Hallmark's usual small town formula• Comparisons to Autumn Dreams, Love Fall and Order, and Hearts of Winter, another Webster and Wagner pairing• Trivia on the stock footage driving scene, the suspiciously green corn stalks, and Victor Webster's 1998 Cosmopolitan cameo0:00 - Intro & Andrea's Pick: A Harvest Wedding1:20 - The Recap: A Wedding Planner Comes Home3:00 - Meet the Cast (and a Signed, Sealed, Delivered Mix-Up)4:15 - Andrea's Rating and the Working Farm Plot Holes8:00 - Eric's Take: Victor's Charm vs. the Five-Day Harvest11:00 - What Didn't Work: The Magazine, the Conflict, and Bossy Bride Energy14:00 - Standout Side Characters: Marcus Rosner and Emma16:30 - The Romance: Whipped Cream Noses and a Surprise Ending19:30 - Similar Movies: Autumn Dreams, Love Fall and Order, Hearts of Winter21:00 - Trivia: Stock Footage, Green Corn, and Victor's Cosmo Moment22:15 - Coming Up Next WeekAndrea's calling this a comfort food five out of five.

This week, I talk with Kristin Kobes Du Mez about her new book Live, Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Womenand the World They Made. Listen to hear all about:How Live Laugh Love grew out of Kristin Kobes Du Mez's Jesus and John Wayne, shifting the focus from evangelical masculinity to the history and culture surrounding white Christian women. The surprising roots of “biblical womanhood” and hyper-femininity—and how ideas presented as timeless Christian gender roles have actually changed dramatically over time. How Christian romance novels, music, bookstores, mommy blogs, influencers, Hallmark movies, and other seemingly harmless pop culture helped create an entire ecosystem of Christian values and messaging. The fascinating overlap between evangelicalism, MLMs, capitalism, and positive-thinking culture—including why Kristin sees striking similarities between MLM structures and high-control religious systems. Why “I'm not political” can itself mask deeply political beliefs—and how ideas about faith and family quietly shape views on everything from education and immigration to welfare and economic policy.

My friend Julia got married a few weeks ago in British Columbia. She and Richard dated 40 years ago. Went their separate ways. Found each other again. And standing there in front of a lake with mountains behind them, saying yes to each other — I've never seen anything quite like it. Watching them, I kept thinking about love. Not the Hallmark version. The real one. What it takes to open yourself to it. What it costs when you don't. And what it looks like when someone is so fully in it that everybody around them gets a little elevated just being in the room. This episode is about that. What love actually is, what it asks of you, and where you might have more room for it than you think. 3 Things You'll Take Away: Love is something you open to. It doesn't require a perfect mood or a high-vibe day. It can look like stillness. Presence. Paying attention. This episode helps you see where you're already doing it — and where you've quietly closed.Love has more forms than we give it credit for. A hard conversation. A boundary. Showing up for someone. A month away because your heart told you to. Once you see them all, you start noticing love everywhere.There are so many places to send your love. To the people in front of you. To the ones who've passed. To the earth itself. This episode leaves you with real, practical ways to give and receive more of it. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Why we haven't talked about love much here — and why now (03:00) Getting close to episode 200 — what's coming next (05:00) Where the podcast is headed: artists, theologians, wisdom keepers (06:00) Julia and Richard: a love story 40 years in the making (11:00) Standing at that lake watching his joy (13:00) What love did to everyone at that wedding (16:00) Love as presence, stillness, and vessel — not just a feeling (17:00) The Occupy Mind movement — and why we need to come back to the heart (21:00) What crosses all traditions: contemplation, humility, love, the great mystery (24:00) Trusting love through heartbreak, rebuilding, and the both-and (27:00) The 90-year-old who just finished the Appalachian Trail — love as courageous action (29:00) Mehdi in Greece — love guiding you toward what your body needs (30:00) The tsunami of love — what Mimi Samus taught me (33:00) Sending love through the roots of trees — the science behind it (35:00) Worthy questions: who needs your love today? Where are you running low?

Share a commentOne sentence can stop a grieving parent cold: “I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.” We start there, with David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 12, because the death of a child forces honest Christians to face the hardest pastoral question people ask through tears: did my baby go to heaven?We don't reach for a Hallmark answer, and we don't pretend the Bible offers a single easy proof text for the miscarried, the aborted, the stillborn, or the severely mentally disabled. Instead, we do what careful biblical theology requires: compare passages, connect doctrines, and follow the clues. Psalm 139 takes us into the womb where God “knits” a unique life together, and Jeremiah's language shows God speaking to an unborn person with purpose and destiny. Along the way, we contrast a Scripture-shaped view of human dignity with modern bioethics that reduces people to animals and then calls almost anything “morally acceptable.”The conversation also widens to what sits underneath the whole debate: life begins at conception, every person is eternal, and the real question becomes where we will live forever. If you've carried grief after pregnancy loss or you're trying to form a clear Christian view of abortion, infant mortality, and the eternal destiny of children, this is an episode to sit with slowly.

Andrea gave Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding a full five out of five, calling it the strongest entry in the series since the premiere. Eric landed at three (nudged up to a 3.75 after some back and forth), mostly because the mystery itself doesn't give viewers enough to work with. Eric and Andrea break down the Ireland setting, the love triangle between Eamon, Griff, and Inspector O'Reilly, a Sister Sister trivia detour, and their picks for what to watch next if this one worked for you.What You'll Hear:• Andrea's five out of five case for why this is the strongest Haunted Harmony entry yet• Eric's three out of five (later revised up) and the "over the top" moments that held him back• A full breakdown of the wedding mystery, including why the killer's reveal barely gives viewers a fair shot• The love triangle between Eamon, Griff (Marco Grazzini), and Inspector O'Reilly, and which pairing they're actually rooting for• Character Corner on Sunny the bride, and why she avoided every social media influencer cliche• Hallmark trivia: the Sister Sister connection, Tamara Bree teaching herself violin for the role, and Marco Grazzini's real life partner turning up in next week's movie• Recommendations for fans who want more bridal murder mysteries, from Murder, She Wrote to Brokenwood Mysteries and McDonald & Dodds• The IMDb score and live viewer poll results• A preview of next week's reviews: A Harvest Wedding and Falling Into Place0:00 - Intro and Catching Up with Andrea4:40 - Mystery News and the Hallmark Plus Price Hike6:39 - Prelude to a Wedding Synopsis and Andrea's 5/5 Review12:01 - Eric's Review: Beret Watch and a 3/5 Verdict18:35 - The Mystery: Solid Twist, Not Enough Clues23:41 - The Love Triangle: Eamon, Griff, and O'Reilly26:32 - Character Corner: Sunny the Bride28:53 - Hallmark Trivia: Sister, Sister and On-Set Secrets31:45 - Hallmark and Chill: What to Watch Next35:56 - IMDb Score and the Viewer Poll Results38:11 - Next Week: A Harvest Wedding and Falling Into PlaceAndrea's giving this one a five, Eric landed at three.

Chelsea is wrapping up her Knightly message but she wants it to be perfect. She's got 30 minutes til the ceremony. We see a flashback of her with her mom before she passed away, talking about how to know you've met the one. Chelsea hears a crash in the kitchen and she goes to check on her dad who was really struggling with why it couldn't have been him who got sick. This is when Chelsea finds out that her mom knew she was sick before she went on the summer trip. She passed away 2 weeks later. Now Chelsea felt robbed of time. That's why she struggled so much afterwards. She tells Knightly she wants to know if there's still a chance for them. She's thought about him every day for a year. One day, her sister calls her and tells her that she saw Knightly at a soccer game with another woman. Chelsea says he's moved on and that's what I wanted. After the game, Knightly comes up to talk to little Martin. He awkwardly asks how Chelsea is and then is like jk I'm sure she's fine with the perfect job and perfect man. The girls he's with turn out to be his sister. Chelsea is talking to Marcos and she tells him that she thinks she's going to reach out to the ACC in hopes of being able to reconnect with Jason. He responds to the email very professionally but doesn't come to Spain for the meeting. He sends his boss. Chelsea is like if I knew it was you coming, I wouldn't have made you come. He's like oh yeah cuz you're in love with Knightly. She's like how did you know that?! Classic boss stuff. It's time for her family to show up for the wedding. It's bachelorette party time, complete with karaoke. Her sister pushes Chelsea to sing something which she finally does - Since U Been Gone. This causes her to have a mini breakdown.

Chelsea gives him a pep talk. Chelsea then stays up to watch that wedding video and her mom's vows get Chelsea thinking - she has found her person she wants to tell all her secrets to. So the next day, she starts recording these messages. She sends the message after the wedding but then hears the ding of a text. Knightly is right behind her!

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT NOTHING BUT LOVE A TV director returns to her theater roots for a Shakespeare festival and runs into an old flame, rekindling a merry war of wits in this modern retelling of "Much Ado About Nothing." AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR NOTHING BUT LOVE August 29, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF NOTHING BUT LOVE Director: Shamim Sarif Writers: Ramona Barckert, Neal Dodson, William Shakespeare Cast: Ashley Williams as Bea Bishop Niall Matter as Benny Gersten BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS It's time for the Summer Shakespeare Festival and Bea Bishop has arrived ahead of the show she's directing - The Taming of the Shrew. She is pumped, or should I say WAS pumped until she finds out Benny, a popular actor, is going to be the love interest for the play. She's not thrilled because clearly they have a history. Her mom is the one who runs the festival but she's going to retire. Bea says that SHE wants to take it over and her mom is thrilled. The cast gets together for the first time for pizza that Benny brings. Benny meets his leading lady for the first time. Her name is Hannah and it's clear that Hannah has a thing for another guy in the play, Clay. When Benny sees them, he tells Bea to make Clay the lead instead, which she does. Bea finds out that there are some more hoops to leap through before the board approves her to be the new director of the festival. Apparently, there's a buyer interested in purchasing the festival. If the play isn't a success, they need to sell. SO THE STAKES ARE HIGH! She tells Benny about this and they agree to a peace treaty to work together to save the festival. So turns out, Benny was right about Clay and Hannah....a little too right. Bea and Benny follow them into town and see them kiss big ones! Bea is worried that this isn't going to be great for the play - it's going to distract them. So Bea goes to talk to her about it and Hannah is like we're falling in love. Bea is like it's not real love, it's festival love. Hannah disagrees. Bea says this happened to her once - she fell for Benny during their play together and got a bad review, calling her distracted. That's why she ultimately became a director. She tells Hannah if all you're thinking about is how much you're in love with Clay, it's going to affect your performance. Benny ends up having the same conversation with Clay. Hannah and Clay decide they should try to get Bea and Benny together. It gives us a couple of great scenes. Benny and Bea end up getting coffee together and talk through some changes they want to make to the play and then they're getting ready to talk about their feelings but they get interrupted. They begin to wonder if splitting Hannah and Clay up is doing more harm than good. There's a party where everyone is in Shakespearean garb and Bea and Benny try to reverse what they've done and get Hannah and Clay back together, but they end up slow dancing together in the process. The next day, Benny asks if she wants to go for a bite. She's like did you say date? And he's like no I said bite, but yes a date please. She says yes. And they tell each other that they like and love each other via crayon on the table. The SPARKS are flying. On the walk home, they both talk about how they overheard the other actors talking about how they are into each other. IT WAS ALL A BIG TRICK?! This is quite the misunderstanding and she's like well thank goodness we didn't kiss! This argument gets interrupted with a text - Hannah is leaving. She can't handle the pressure of saving this festival. So they all agree it would be best if Benny and Bea took over the lead roles and it's going great! But THEN she hears that Benny told Clay that whoever takes over running the festival has impossibly large shoes to fill. She's like you don't think I can do it! He realizes he done goofed. He needs to figure out a way to show her that not only does he believe she can run this festival, but show her that the love wasn't a trick. He runs to the airport to stop Hannah from leaving and get her to come back and do the show, which she does! The play is going great. The run is sold out. Bea goes to talk to her mom backstage and her mom tells her that her only regret in doing this is that she only focused on her job, not her heart. She encourages her to be sure she tends to her heart. The show is a SMASH hit! After the show, she finds out that they don't need to sell. The board approves of Bea running the festival moving forward! She goes to find Benny. She asks how he got Hannah to come back, and he says "I told her that all she needs to know is that Bea believes in you. When I know that Bea believes in me, I feel like I can do anything." He says I also knew I couldn't play this role with you because I wouldn't be able to hide my feelings for you. She says I wanna be with you and I wanna run this festival with you. She says kiss me you fool and kiss they do, followed by a spin and dip! Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
