Eric and Andrea review Aussie at Heart, the Hallmark original starring Rhiannon Fish and Daniel Lissing as a former lawyer turned event planner and her ex coworker who reunite in Queensland to plan her parents' anniversary party. Andrea gives it a two and a half. Eric gives it a three. Both of them still rank it dead last of the three movies they've covered this month, thanks to a boat problem, a B-roll problem, and one of the laziest misunderstandings in the Hallmark playbook.
What You'll hear:
• A full recap of Samara and Nate's reunion in Queensland, planning her parents' anniversary while dodging their own history
• Why Andrea can't get past the boat movie problem, and why she'd rather have a murder on that yacht
• The vow renewal scene and a mother of the bride whose eye acting deserves its own award
• A detour into KitchenAid mixers, Eric's wife's Hanukkah gift versus a mixer that's been in Andrea's family since the 1950s
• Rhiannon Fish's performance measured against her turn in Our Norwegian Holiday
• The B-roll overload, the old elevator music montages, and the classic Hallmark misunderstanding that sinks the third act
• Movie and show recommendations for anyone who wants their boat drama with actual stakes
• Trivia on Daniel Lissing's music career and whether Rhiannon Fish actually has an Australian accent
• Where Aussie at Heart lands in Eric and Andrea's ranking of this month's three movies, plus a look ahead to A Love Finds You

Eric and Andrea are back in Paris for episode four of Paris Is Always a Good Idea, and it's the one both hosts agree has the most packed into it. Chelsea and Knightly finally close the distance between them, Lacey Chabert turns in what Eric calls her best Hallmark performance yet, and one subplot has the hosts split right down the middle. Andrea says it adds welcome variety. Eric says it's stealing time from the couple everyone actually tuned in for.
Here's what Eric and Andrea get into:
• Andrea's full recap of how Chelsea and Knightly's backstory comes together, plus the real Eiffel Tower shoot both actors talked about on Hallmark+
• A quick detour into why the Hallmark+ app keeps logging Andrea out, and why she's sticking with the $39 subscription anyway
• The sister subplot debate: Andrea calls it welcome variety, Eric calls it a distraction from the main couple
• Eric's case for why this might be Lacey Chabert's best Hallmark role yet, including the scene he calls the spiciest she's ever played
• The donation numbers continuity hiccup both hosts caught in the nonprofit storyline
• Why Knightly is the one pushing Chelsea toward her billionaire ex Marco, and what that says about his insecurity instead of hers
• The standout scene both hosts pick, from the elevator kiss to the closing cab ride banter between Knightly and the sister
• Predictions for the rest of the season, including who Marco really is and whether that castle wedding tease means what they think it does

Eric and Andrea run through the entire Fall Into Love 2026 lineup, eight new movies, before sitting down with this week's big premiere: Absolutely Devoted to You, starring Jesse Metcalfe and Kimberley Sustad. It's Hallmark's swing at a 90s boy band reunion story, and both hosts walk in a little skeptical. Eric lands at four and a half out of five. Andrea can't get past one thing: the age gap between the leads.
What You'll Hear:
• Eight new Fall Into Love 2026 movies previewed and rated thumbs up or down, including Love Finds You, Much About Love and the return of Garage Sale Mysteries
• A first look at Hallmark's two new Halloween movies, A Knight to Remember and The Spirit of Halloween
• The full premise of Absolutely Devoted to You and why its 90s TV talk show framing gives it a different feel than most Hallmark romances
• Andrea's case for Hanson as the greatest boy band of the 90s (and why Bop is still on her playlist)
• Eric and Andrea's honest read on Kimberley Sustad and Jesse Metcalfe's chemistry
• One plot point neither host can fully explain: how the ending's jump from studio to stage actually works
• Eric's biggest Hallmark pet peeve, unpacked using this exact movie as the example
• Standout character talk built around Tetiana Ostapowych's scene-stealing, fangirling newscaster
• Behind-the-scenes trivia from director Stacey N. Harding, plus a preview of next week's Aussie at Heart and Paris Is Always a Good Idea

Eric and Andrea are back in Paris for Episode 3 of Hallmark+'s "Paris Is Always a Good Idea," titled "Sebastian, Revisited." Chelsea and Knightley get back to work, and the French photographer Chelsea left behind years ago walks right back into her life. Eric and Andrea break down what won them over, where the show swerves hard from the book, and why one dress has them arguing about couture pricing.
What You'll See:
• The forest opening and the phone call with Chelsea's dad that finally patches things up between them
• The steamy restaurant scene, the napkin pass, and the line that would get anyone else fired by HR
• How Sebastian's storyline in the show diverges hugely from the book, and why that changes everything about him
• The show's noticeably bigger production budget, plus the new spin on "Private Eyes" during the opening titles
• The $10,000 dress debate, and how Sebastian stacks up against Chelsea's other guys so far
• A flash-forward wedding photography scene that had both hosts rewinding to figure out what just happened
• Why Andrea calls this show "anti-Hallmark," and means it as a compliment
• A listener voicemail, a stolen library book, and an update on tracking down the book's author
• Where Chelsea and Knightley stand heading into next week, plus a first look at what's coming with "Absolutely Devoted to You"
