    Toast to Italy (Hallmark Channel - 2026)

    It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT TOAST TO ITALY Jenny travels to Italy for a special bottle of wine for her sister's wedding. She meets Arrigo, also looking for the famous "Love Wine" and together their search leads to a love of their own. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR TOAST TO ITALY August 1, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF TOAST TO ITALY Director: Michael Robison Writer: Raul Inglis Cast: Torrey DeVitto as Jenny Will Kemp as Arrigo BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Jenny is helping plan her sister's wedding. But there's something missing - this wedding blessing wine that every successful marriage in her family has toasted with at the wedding. They thought they still had a bottle in the case but apparently they're out. There's only 1 bottle available, going up for auction in 16 hours in Rome! So Jenny decides she's gonna hop on a plane, get the wine, and come home in time for the wedding. She gets there just in time for the auction. She arrives at the same time as Arrigo. They hit it off until they discover they're both here for the same bottle of wine. They get into a bidding war but then this random extra ends up winning it at the last second. She ends up having to go to Italy where another bottle may be available. But who does she see on her trip but one Arrigo. Both heading to the same place for the same bottle of wine. You'd think that would bring out the worst in both of them but they're actually really nice. They end up at her relative's house who feeds her yummy food. But, alas, no wine. So they continue to journey, trying to find the same wine but sticking together. Sparks are flying. He measures her for a dress. All normal Hallmark movie stuff. There's a crazy miscommunication but they're finally able to talk through it. She returns to the States without the wine. Luckily for her, Arrigo finds a bottle behind a random bar. Just as the bride and groom are going to toast with unblessed wine, he shows up at the wedding, wine in hand. They dance and they kiss.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home

    It's Marvel Monday and the multiverse breaks open! ABOUT SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME With Spider-Man's identity now revealed, Peter asks Doctor Strange for help. When a spell goes wrong, dangerous foes from other worlds start to appear. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME December 17, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Director: Jon Watts Writers: Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Stan Lee Cast: Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Zendaya as MJ Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius/Doc Ock Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS If you recall the end of our last Spidey movie, Quentin Beck exposed Peter Parker as Spider-Man and framed him for his murder. Naturally, Peter's life is thrown into chaos. The Department of Damage Control, something I'm almost positive doesn't actually exist but how can you know, interrogates Peter, MJ, Ned, and Aunt May. Their attorney, Daredevil, gets the charges dismissed. Despite his legal victory, the public turns on him. Feeling bad about screwing up his friends' future, Peter asks Dr. Strange to cast a spell that will make the world forget he's Spider-Man. But Peter keeps interrupting the spell to add people he doesn't want to forget, causing it to go nuts and pull visitors from across the multiverse into their reality. Peter goes to talk to the MIT admissions person but ends up being greeted by Doctor Octopus who seems to know a lot about him despite Peter never meeting him before. Peter learns that the spell has summoned people who know Spider-Man's secret identity from across the multiverse. Strange tasks Peter, MJ, and Ned with capturing the interdimensional visitors, leading them to capture Electro, Sandman, the Lizard, and Norman Osborn. Peter soon realizes that each villain was pulled from their universe moments before their death and believes they deserve a chance at redemption instead of being sent back to die. Defying Strange, Peter steals the spell that would send everyone back to their own dimension and begins developing cures for the villains using Stark technology. Peter successfully restores Doctor Octopus, but Norman's Green Goblin persona takes over once again, convincing the other villains to turn on Peter. This leads to a massive battle that fatally injures Aunt May. Before she dies, she reminds Peter that "with great power, there must also come great responsibility," leaving him devastated and questioning whether he made the right choice. Ned unexpectedly discovers he can use Strange's sling ring to open portals. While searching for Peter, he and MJ instead find two alternate Spider-Men from different universes. Maybe you've seen them before in other movies?! I dunno. The three Peters unite and create cures for each enemy and lure them to the Statue of Liberty for one final showdown. It works! But rifts open across the multiverse. Realizing there is only one solution, Peter asks Strange to cast a new spell that erases Peter Parker from everyone's memory. The spell saves the multiverse, sending everyone back to their own universes. Peter visits MJ and Ned, intending to remind them who he is, but decides not to disrupt the new lives they've built. After paying his respects at Aunt May's grave and sharing a quiet moment with Happy Hogan, Peter embraces a fresh start. Now completely anonymous, he creates a new homemade Spider-Man suit and swings back into the city, beginning the next chapter of his life as a true friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

ABOUT: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) Christopher and girlfriend Sherry visit Stars Hollow. Lorelai brings Christopher to her parents' Friday night dinner, potentially stirring up family dynamics and past feelings. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) February 12, 2002 | The WB CAST & CREW OF: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) SYNOPSIS Lorelai and Rory get to Luke's and no one is there! Just one of those lulls. Rory tells Lorelai about her debate competition this week. Lane calls Rory at the diner. Naturally, Lane can see the diner with a telescope from her room where she is stuck cuz she's grounded. They head home to watch some random British baking show called Two Fat Ladies, but they're interrupted by Paris who showed up because she thinks Rory needs more practice on the debate competition. Lorelai gets a call from Christopher. Turns out he's close by and she invites him to come to the debate competition. He says he'll be there. The next day, Rory walks by a payphone and naturally Lane calls it and asks her to pick up a new single for her. Lane is not well. It's debate time! The topic is a light one - doctor assisted suicide. They do a coin flip to decide who is pro or con. Paris picks pro. Christopher shows up….with another woman! Chilton wins. Afterwards, Lorelai and Sookie go to meet Christopher's girlfriend, Sherry. Lorelai and Rory come up with a game plan on how to handle this unexpected visit and they invite them home. Before they leave, Paris asks Rory to hang out and celebrate but she can't, which really upsets Paris if you can believe it. Sherry pulls Lorelai aside and is like you don't have to get to know me. Just because we've both had a relationship with Christopher doesn't mean we have to be friends. But she really wants to get to know Rory and asks if they can hang out tonight even though it's Friday night dinner. Lorelai is like uhhh sure. Lorelai talks to Rory and Rory says she's fine hanging out with Sherry. Lorelai asks if Christopher wants to come to dinner and he's like it's good grub, why not. They get to dinner, and when Emily hears that Rory is just having this night with Sherry, she's not thrilled and starts to interrogate Christopher about this Sherry. Then Rory bursts out that she doesn't think Emily should miss Friday night dinners unless she's sick and storms out. Lorelai goes after her and Emily says it should've been you! When Christopher finally got his life together, he should've been with you! To make matters worse, Emily blames Lorelai for everything. She says she's gonna go lay down. The next morning, Lorelai and Rory meet up at Luke's. Lorelai begs Rory for all the Sherry deets. And she gives her ALLLLL the deets including how Sherry wants kids. Lorelai asks Rory if she ever hoped that she and Christopher would get together. Rory says sure I've pictured you being with dad but I've also pictured you being with Pee-wee Herman and living in his playhouse. Before they can get back to the serious convo, Rory has to run out to watch and make sure the plan to get Lane her CD works, including Kirk stopping Mrs. Kim to talk and Michel jogging by and dropping the CD in the bag. Back at Luke's, Sherry and Christopher come by to say goodbye. Sherry leaves to say goodbye to Rory and Christopher apologizes to Lorelai for last night. Lorelai says I realized something last night - all these years, I always had you in the back of my mind. The prospect of us being together. I think I subconsciously sabotaged every relationship I've ever been in because I knew you were always there. Now that I know you're not, I can move on. Believe it or not, Christopher doesn't handle that well. He says don't put that on me. You're dumping 15 years of being unhappy on me. Don't blame me. This blowup is loud and naturally Luke watches and does nothing. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?
