She lures us in via gorgeous kitchens with refrigerators to die for...and Jack Nicholson's character very nearly does. Arguably that would have been better, because then she could have stayed with that nice doctor, Keanu Reeves. Look, there were problems but it was still, overall, a delight.

For the theme, 'So...This is Love?" In this one, the Harbisons think florist code is problematic, Paige gets in a tit-off with her nonexistent child, and everyone recalls warmly the one year they all liked Ashton Kutcher (‘shton’ to his friends, among whom jack counts himself). Oh, and also, don't worry, Adam grabbed his ****. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Or...."Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-Hat" -- PART TWO!" Man, oh, man. If you know this movie, you know it. If you don't, you are in for QUITE a film. For one thing, absolutely watch it. They truly do not make them like this anymore. They just don't. This quality is unmatched. It's so bad in the best way. It has it all. It has Lizzie McGuire's sister in 2013 dressed like she's in 2004 playing a 26 year old former teen mom who acts like a middle aged woman, it has a wheelchair-bound child whose father died in a car wreck who wants nothing more than to drive fast in cars who miraculously walks by the end because his paralysis was psychosomatic, it's got patient zero, it's got zero chemistry, and most of all, it has a year round hat shop that gets saved by the brilliant business decision of opening MORE hat shops. Also this is a halloween movie and a Christmas movie but thanksgiving is completely omitted. It is insane. And we were so lucky to have on the brilliant Jen Lancaster!!! You've probably read her work, but if you haven't, you've read someone inspired by her. She's fabulous and she was REAL fired up. Get your wine ready for this one. Find Jen at Jennsylvania.com or on Instagram and pick up her new book, House Moms! You can also find her personal Hallmark bingo cards here. Also she mentioned the podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern , and Paige mentioned the episode of MST3K about the movie just called Santa Claus . It's perfect. Also love Santa Claus Conquers the Martians . MST3K is on Tubi for anyone who wants to give them a watch! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
