Eric and Andrea review A Knight to Remember, Hallmark's October rom-com where museum conservator Emily (Julie Gonzalo) kisses the statue of a 1400s English knight and accidentally brings Sir Griffin (James Trevena) to life in Chicago. Andrea gives it 2 stars and found it slow going. Eric lands at 2.5, calling it corny, light Hallmark fun with two leads who were better than the script. Neither of them is calling it memorable, but they don't agree on how forgettable it is.
What You'll Hear:
• Why both hosts think James Trevena has the comedic timing to keep landing Hallmark leads, even if a 1400s knight wasn't the role to show it off
• The Chris McNally cameo at the archery contest, opposite his real-life wife Julie Gonzalo, that Andrea completely missed
• The tone problem: an ex-boyfriend FBI subplot that stalled whatever whimsy the movie managed to build
• Andrea's case for more magic and more fish-out-of-water chaos than one quick joke about indoor plumbing
• Whether Emily and Griffin worked as a couple, or felt more like a woman taking on a 600-year-old project
• Similar watches: 2023's Made for Each Other, 1987's Mannequin and Making Mr. Right, and Life-Size with Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan
• Trivia on two Southern Hemisphere-born leads starring in a movie set in Chicago
• Instagram poll results for Garage Sale and Pumpkin Regatta
• News on Private Eyes West Coast coming to Hallmark+ and a first look at next week's The Spirit of Halloween with Meghan Ory

Andrea wanted Griffin to be far more lost in the modern world. Which piece of 21st century life should a knight from the 1400s have struggled with on screen, and did this one land closer to 2 stars or 2.5 for you?

Eric and Andrea kick off mystery month with Good Witch: Curse from a Rose, the 2019 Halloween movie that turned out to be the final Good Witch film. Andrea gives it a full five stars, and Eric makes the case that the whole franchise is still the bar for Hallmark series. The only real dispute is whether Middleton's official population would survive a census.
What You'll Hear:
• Andrea's five-star verdict, and why a town of 3,017 people should not look that big from the air
• The pumpkin regatta neither host remembered, and why Cassie feels a lot like Andrea
• Why Eric thinks Good Witch set the standard, from Cassie and Sam's chemistry to Hallmark paying for two American leads
• The franchise timeline from 2008 to 2021, and how Curse from a Rose became the last movie
• What didn't land: no Grace, a softer Nick, and a cast too big for everyone to get a turn
• Eric's complaint about the mummy marathon and bowling events that never made it on screen
• Cassie and Sam's first married Halloween, plus Martha's surprisingly wise line about love
• Trivia: the Middleton monster cameo, a truck that changes color mid-scene, and what Catherine Bell planned to do before acting
• What to watch next: Kentucky Roses and Acorn's Queens of Mystery

Andrea wants Hallmark to bring Good Witch back every Halloween. If they did, who gets the next movie built around them: Cassie and Sam again, Martha, Abigail, or someone else from Middleton?

Eric and Andrea review Pumpkin Regatta Romance, the Hallmark Channel fall movie starring Mishael Morgan and Corey Sevier, where two feuding dads, a pumpkin farm, and a boat shop all collide over a town race run in hollowed-out giant pumpkins. Yes, that is a real thing. Andrea gives it 4.5 stars, Eric lands a shade below, and both agree this is exactly the comfort food movie people mean when they say they miss old school Hallmark.
What You'll Hear:
• Andrea's farm-life reality check on chasing a tractor across a field (and a cow manure story nobody saw coming)
• Whether pumpkin regattas are real (they are, with races in Maine and Oregon)
• Why Ethan's mom Frankie and both dads make this a rare Hallmark movie with genuinely supportive parents
• The great Mr. and Mrs. debate: do you still call your friends' parents by their first names?
• The one gripe: how does Nadine not know Lola in a town this small?
• Rob Stewart (Sam Bishop on The Way Home) as a grumpy dad with range, and Eric finally placing Sharron Matthews from Frankie Drake Mysteries
• The Nadine and Ethan romance, including the dad interruption that stopped a kiss cold
• Two fall recommendations from the archives: Pumpkin Pie Wars (2016) and Harvest Moon (2015)
• Mishael Morgan trivia: her history-making Daytime Emmy win for The Young and the Restless

Garage Sale Mysteries is back after six years, and Eric and Andrea review Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes the Stage, with Lori Loughlin returning as Jennifer Shannon. Andrea has been waiting for this one for a long time. Eric has spent years saying only one Garage Sale movie was any good.

• Eric's surprisingly generous verdict, plus his reenactment of Jen investigating the dark room alone
• The little details superfans will catch, like the missing corner and the new diner
• How the true crime book club's Lizzie Borden reenactment gave the mystery a full, workable murder board
• Why Eric thinks this one finally delivered real suspects and real red herrings
• Steve Bacic's behind-the-scenes take on how quickly the cast fell back into rhythm
• How the movie worked around Hannah's limited screen time
• Real Lizzie Borden trivia, including what the famous playground rhyme gets wrong
• Hallmark and Chill picks from Murder, She Wrote, Mystery 101, Picture Perfect Mysteries, and Aurora Teagarden

Eric and Andrea sit down with Dating the Delaneys, the 2022 Hallmark movie that reunites Rachel Boston and Paul Campbell ahead of their new pairing in Return to Santa this November. Three generations of Delaney women are dating at once, and Eric and Andrea do not agree on how well any of it holds up.
