There is no such thing as an emergency podcast when you cover Hallmark movies. This week got close.

Megan was traveling the day all of this news dropped, frantically texting Wendy from the road while Wendy tried to figure out where any of it was even coming from. Hallmark Channel turned 25, and the network celebrated by telling us almost everything about Christmas. Between a sold-out birthday event at 92NY and a virtual Television Critics Association panel, we got a Countdown to Christmas start date, three premiere dates, three brand-new movies, two Halloween movies and a new Hallmark+ series.

Hallmark’s Summer Nights continues with Toast to Italy, premiering August 1 and pairing Hallmark favorite Will Kemp with Torrey DeVitto for a romance set among Italy’s vineyards. When Jenny travels overseas in search of a legendary bottle of “Love Wine” for her sister’s wedding, she crosses paths with Arrigo, who’s on the very same mission. Naturally, the search for one famous bottle turns into a journey of self-discovery, breathtaking scenery, and maybe even a little romance of their own. Join us as we uncork Hallmark’s latest European adventure to see whether this vintage is worth savoring – or if it should have stayed in the cellar.

Chelsea's impulsive trip to Ireland takes center stage in Paris Is Always a Good Idea Episode 2: "Colin Revisited." Armed with a pair of wildly impractical heels and a decade's worth of "what ifs," Chelsea reconnects with her former flame, Colin, only to discover that sometimes closure looks very different than the fantasy you've been carrying around in your head. Meanwhile, Annabelle continues proving she's the MVP of this book adaptation, Jason Knightly keeps finding new ways to insert himself into Chelsea's journey (and we're certainly not complaining), and we're starting to think this series isn't actually about revisiting old lovers at all. Join us as we unpack one of Hallmark's most emotionally mature episodes in a long time - and yes, we absolutely have thoughts about that dinner date.

In our Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 1 review, we're diving into Hallmark+'s new series inspired by Jenn McKinlay's novel and starring Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster. What begins as a business trip to Paris quickly becomes a deeply personal journey as Chelsea revisits the unfinished wishes her late mother left behind—and perhaps a few former loves along the way. We're breaking down the emotional premiere, the undeniable chemistry between Chelsea and Jason Knightly, Hallmark's unexpected obsession with the word "lovers," and why this may be one of the network's most mature, emotionally layered premieres yet.
