Journalists Jeb Lund and David J. Roth step away from the the anxieties of the real world and step into the gentle, cornball, consequence-free fantasy world that exists only on the Hallmark Channel. Every week, give or take, we discuss a different Hallmark original movie—from Christmas cheer, to wedding jitters, to bakers who solve murders—and break it down into recognizable components of angels, moms, moppets, themed sweaters and mountains of dinner rolls, and try to make sense of the moments when the stories veer away from comfort films and find themselves in the uncanny valley. Welcome to a sweet, strange, stilted vision of the world—not so much an escape from modern life as a relaxing trip to an alternate universe where everyone is silly, chaste, nice, and mostly doing fine.
