IRIS IS BACK, BABY! October means horror movies (it's the only time of year I can get away with it) and questionable life choices, so naturally she picked Immaculate, starring Sydney Sweeney, a convent, and vibes that are NOT Christ-like. Robin countered with The Dark and the Wicked, a film so psychologically deranged it makes Hereditary look like a Hallmark movie.Saturday: Robin's back to doing true crime, and this one's WILD. Investigators tried 418 times...yes, FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN TIMES...to recreate how this victim died. They failed every single time. It's still unsolved.  Sunday: Red, White & Bruised gets its own damn podcast feed because apparently talking about the dumpster fire of modern politics once a week as a series is still making people angry.

It's time to Haul out the Halloween!Scott from Christmas Morning joins Bran, Dan, and Brian to break down the latest movie in Hallmark's wildly popular Haul Out the Holly franchise.ABOUT HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEENNew, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and décor to become EverSCREAM Lane.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEENOctober 11, 2024 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEENLacey Chabert as EmilyWes Brown as JaredMelissa Peterman as PamelaEllen Travolta as Mary LouiseStephen Tobolowsky as NedKimberly J. Brown as LunaBRAN'S HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN SYNOPSISEvergreen Lane is the most festive street in America, and nothing is more festive than a wedding! Emily and Jared are the ones tying the knot — and even better, the Johnsons are gone! The wedding is beautiful, and everything seems perfect.While Emily and Jared are on their honeymoon, a new couple moves in and decorates big for Halloween — like, really big. The rest of the crew wonders if they should contact Jared, the head of the HOA, but decide to wait until he's back. When Jared finally sees the decorations, he's so shocked he literally drops Emily.He heads over to tell the new neighbors that all their lawn decorations have to go. “This is Evergreen Lane, not Everscream Lane!” But Jared is stunned to learn from Emily's parents that the “no other holiday decorations” rule was never actually added to the bylaws.We learn that Evergreen Lane used to go all out for Halloween, but after Emily's Gram Gram passed away, her parents thought she wouldn't want it anymore. Quite the opposite — Emily insists it's time to bring the spooky fun back, because that's exactly what Gram Gram would've wanted.The committee gathers to gossip about the “weird new neighbors,” right as they walk in — Luna and Marvin. Turns out Luna really is a witch… in a play!Emily and Jared soon announce that Everscream Lane is officially a go! Events are planned, and every house has one week to come up with a Halloween display. Everyone's in — but Luna and Marvin propose one more idea: a spooky alley to raise money for the children's hospital. It's approved, as long as it's not too spooky.Jared surprises Emily by saying he doesn't want to do a couple's costume this year — and that's a little scary for her. What's scary for Jared? Emily's mom might be dating Ned! Things come to a head when Jared lashes out at Ned during the pumpkin decorating competition — even throwing Ned's pumpkin to the ground… while local TV cameras are rolling.Jared's put on leave from the HOA until he makes things right with Ned — which he does. All is well again, just in time for the Halloween cookie competition (complete with ugly Halloween sweaters). To Pamela's shock, Emily's cookies win!Emily decides to publish a children's book inspired by Evergreen Lane. Then, big news — the local news channel is coming back to cover the Lane on Halloween night! Everything is perfect.After briefly appearing as “Chaddy Kruger” — a Chad Kroeger/Freddy Krueger mashup costume — Jared realizes he's a married man now and rejoins Emily for a team costume.Everscream Lane is a huge success, and the whole gang celebrates as Jared gets the news: he's been accepted into the Norwegian Santa School!

Send us a textThis week, we're joined by Marco Grazzini and Adam Fergus, stars of the new Hallmark mystery Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C, premiering October 12th on Hallmark Mystery.If you're a fan of mysteries with a supernatural twist, you're going to love this conversation. We dive deep into what makes the Haunted Harmony franchise unique in the crowded Hallmark mystery space—from the ghost partner dynamic to the romance triangle that doesn't involve the two lead sleuths (looking at you, every other mystery series).Adam, who's originally from Ireland, shares insider tips about visiting the Emerald Isle, including why you should never order an Irish Car Bomb or a Black and Tan if you actually want to fit in with the locals. He also explains the art of "splitting the G" on your first pint of Guinness—and trust me, it's harder than it sounds.Marco talks about why he keeps returning to Ireland for these films (spoiler: it's not the weather), the challenges of filming 100-page scripts in 10-hour Irish workdays versus the typical Canadian 11-hour schedule, and how cinematographers in Ireland have basically mastered shooting through four seasons in a single take.But the absolute highlight? Marco's confession about cheating on his Grade 12 calculus exam by buying it from a security guard, memorizing answers he didn't understand, and still barely passing with a 95%. It's the kind of story that explains why he's an actor and not a math teacher—despite playing one on screen.We also get into:Whether they actually believe in ghosts (their answers might surprise you)The Jane Seymour garden party story you won't believeWhy Tamara Mowry-Housley's laugh is legendary on setThe mysterious object that gets revealed in Buried at C that had the entire cast cracking upHow Richard Cooper's ghost character brings levity to murder mysteriesThe delicate balance of romance in a series versus one-off rom-comsWhy having the romantic tension outside the main sleuthing duo works so wellBoth Marco and Adam are refreshingly candid about the craft of acting, the joys and challenges of series work versus standalone movies, and what it's like to develop a character over multiple films. Adam's perspective as a local filming in his home country adds a fascinating layer to the conversation, while Marco's outsider enthusiasm for Irish culture is genuinely infectious.If you're a Hallmark mystery fan, this is essential listening before Buried at C premieres. And even if you're just here for behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories and a calculus heist confession, you're in for a treat.Episode Highlights:[03:15] Why Irish people make filming in Ireland worth the weather[08:42] Marco's legendary calculus cheating story[14:28] What makes Tamara Mowry-Housley the heart of the series[18:35] Do they believe in ghosts?

Les, Kurt, and Jason recorded this episode on the day of the Full Supermoon which gives Kurt extra zing. He may have had a TON of zing back when his professor made him read Waiting for Godot (which would have been pure hell for Les). Plus, Blac Chyna speculates on possible career paths for daughter Dream despite the fact that she's already recorded her first single (but the music has to be IN you, not ON you). Then the guys get hitched to Hallmark's The Groomsmen Second Chances, the second of their (so far) really great trilogy.  There's even an Aunt Gert-coded character in Ophelia Papodapolis, and we'd rather watch Gert and Ophelia cliff jump than watch the rock climbing wall bachelor party.    Bluesky: lifetimeofhallmark Facebook : lifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Threads: lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast TikTok: lifetimeofhallmarkpod Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Are We Done Now?, the third award-winning feature film from actor/writer/director Ben Immanuel, will be released on VOD on September 30th and make U.S. Premiere at the SOHO International Film Festival, which runs Oct 7-14 in New York City. The film won the Audience Award for "Most Popular Canadian Feature Film" at its Canadian Premiere at the Available Light Film Festival. Shot between 2020 and 2024, Immanuel brings to the screen a profoundly relatable story following Pamela, a therapist (played by Gabrielle Miller of Corner Gas and Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey), and her diverse young clients as they participate in a (fictionalized) documentary exploring the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on their mental health. Through this experience, they—and the filmmaker—gain unexpected self-insight, leading to a deeper understanding of their identities and roles in our transformed world. As a writer/director/producer, Ben has helmed 2 award-winning, theatrically released feature films: Down River (9 wins and 12 nominations) and Moving Malcolm (4 wins and 1 nomination).  Gabrielle Miller is one of Canada's most celebrated performers. A professional actor for over two decades, she is widely recognized for her lead roles on two of Canada's most successful series: the runaway hit CTV series Corner Gas (6 seasons), which inspired a feature film in 2014, as well as an animated series, and the critically acclaimed series Robson Arms (3 seasons). Along with her recurring role on Call Me Fitz, opposite Jason Priestley, Gabrielle has also recurred on Hallmark's Good Witch, and guest-starred on CBS's Person of Interest, ABC's Once Upon a Time, and Showtime's popular series Lost Girl.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod.

It's a brand-new episode for a brand new Hallmark movie (finally!!!). Brian is here to help us review the newest Hallmark movie, Adventures in Love & Birding.ABOUT ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDINGA single mom agrees to be the partner of a bird enthusiast for a birding competition but misunderstands the assignment and tells everyone she's his new girlfriend instead of just his teammate.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDINGSeptember 27th, 2025 | Hallmark Channel / Hallmark+CAST & CREW OF ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDINGRachel Boston as CelesteAndrew W. Walker as JohnBRAN'S ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDING SYNOPSISCeleste loves birds. We know this because she literally stops someone from trimming a tree branch that has a bird in it. She also has a daughter named Morgan.Then we meet John—who also loves birds. We know this because he uses binoculars to look at them. John never finished his PhD, so he's hoping that winning a big birding competition will give him the publicity he needs to finally go full-time with birding. He even thinks birding is cool because, apparently, James Bond likes birds.Celeste's friend overcommits and asks her to fill in as John's partner for the competition. When Celeste realizes John is dealing with his ex—who just so happens to also be competing—she pretends to be his girlfriend. Meanwhile, the competition is a huge deal for John since the prize money could help him start his own business. Celeste asks him to teach her everything about birding, and in exchange, he tags along for a bowling outing and pretends to be her date. That's right—double fake relationship.At the bowling alley, John overhears Celeste's friends saying they don't think he really likes her because he never touches her. So what do they do? They kiss. Big ones.Celeste finds herself not only getting into birds, but also getting into John. She's falling for him for real. And it's clear he's falling for her too—until the big dance. When he won't confirm whether it's a real date and declares it's all just present, Celeste gets frustrated, and leaves early.John realizes he's messed up. So, in true Hallmark fashion, the movie ends with him showing up at Morgan's art show to confess that he stopped pretending a long time ago. They kiss (again, big ones), and he lets her know he's still planning to start that birding business. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

She hears a sound outside and thinks it's her grandpa. She runs out and, for some reason, bursts into Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Then she goes back in and sings a song that—honestly—makes it sound like she's in love with her grandpa. I don't know.There's a knock at the door. She grabs her gun and finds a wounded Yankee outside. Even though helping him could get her in trouble, she brings him in and stitches him up. He falls asleep, wakes up, and hears her sing O Holy Night—after which he just casually mumbles that he loves her.They eat and sing Up on the Housetop together, which somehow inspires her to decorate for Christmas. There's something off about this guy, but I can't quite place it. Then he recites A Visit from St. Nicholas and asks her to sing again, so they do The First Noel.That's when he breaks the news: her grandpa isn't coming home. He says they spent hours together by a fire, had a heart-to-heart, grandpa wrote a poem to God…and then died. To cope, she sings Silent Night. Naturally.They have a quick “nuanced” conversation about slavery and then immediately slide into What Child Is This. She says goodnight, and that's when he drops the bomb: he actually killed her grandpa after grandpa shot him in the back. Oh, and by the way, they knew each other as kids and were first loves. He gives her another letter from grandpa, and they cap it all off by singing a slow version of Jingle Bells.He proposes, she says yes, and they celebrate on the porch. Then—plot twist—it turns out they're in one of Krampus' snow globes, and suddenly everything makes sense.
