This week Beth and Francis talk about a Netflix holiday movie called Operation Christmas Drop, which highlights a real humanitarian mission the US has carried out in Micronesia since 1951.

Technically not a Hallmark movie, but it follows a lot of the same beats. We talk about the differences in decorations, shooting locations, and how a movie can become unsalvagable when your leads don't have any chemistry.

This week my wife Beth joins me for another Hallmark movie deep dive. Instead of focusing on one movie, we have leaned into the whole Hallmark experience. In this episode we discuss USS Christmas, Christmas Homecoming, and the reality show Finding Mr. Christmas.

We will have two more episodes, one on Operation Christmas Drop and a final Christmas eve drop of our trip to Hallmark Crown Center in Kansas City to immerse ourselves in the Hallmark experience.
