Episode 77: Christmas House for Keeps, Double Movie Review

Hallmark Heartbeats

It's our second to the last podcast for 2021. The last movie review of the year and it's a good one. We are reviewing the two ensemble cast movies that closed out the Christmas movie line up of the year, Christmas for Keeps and Christmas House 2.

We had the chance to chat with writers Megan McNulty and Nikki DeLoach a couple of weeks ago, but in this episode we delve more deeply in the storyline. We rant about the controlling, borderline abusive mother, Ben's white male privilege showing, WHY DID NOAH HAVE TO APOLOGIZE?!?!?! and so much more. Lol. Also between the two ensemble movies, we find this one to have a weaker central storyline to hold all of the individual storylines together.

Christmas House 2 was definitely one of our favorite Christmas movies this year. From the comedy to the heart, it was a perfect meld of both genres. We talk about Brandon's pressure of perfection, Zane, the engagement and more.

We have one last podcast to do this year and that is our top 3 Christmas movies of 2021. It will be released New Year's Eve. Then I will start with the New Years New Movies 2022 lineup.
