It's Christmastown
Journalists Jeb Lund and David J. Roth step away from real world anxieties and step into the gentle, cornball, consequence-free world of the Hallmark Channel. Each time, we discuss a different Hallmark original movie—from Christmas cheer, to wedding jitters, to junk-store detectives—and break it down into recognizable components of angels, moms, moppets, sugary foods and themed sweaters, and try to make sense of when the stories veer away from comfort films and land in the uncanny valley. Welcome to a sweet, stilted vision of the world—not an escape from modern life, but a relaxing trip to an alternate universe where everyone is silly, chaste, nice, and mostly doing fine.

Simply delightful.
Such a good podcast

Even if you don't like Hallmark movies you will want to watch them and see how crazy an 82 minute movie can be when they only have 65 minutes to film it. Jeb and Dave and friends are so funny and smart and the show is just the best.
Mounds of dinner rolls for as far as the eyes can see

This is my favorite podcast to hear former Sec. Robert McNamara, shirtless-man/brain pill salesman Alex Jones, Angry DJ Casey Kasem, Randy “Macho Man” Savage, and sports knower Mike Francesa come together to discuss Canadian character actors fall in love with former child actresses while saving hotels and bringing back festivals outside of Vancouver and Ontario, CA.
Never Seen a Hallmark Movie

I’ve never actually seen a Hallmark movie, but I can say with some certainty this is the top notch analysis of the oeuvre available in podcast form. Twitter’s Jeb Lund and David J Roth break down the fundamentals: tropes, performance reviews, and most importantly the relationship of the films to food. They also appreciate the nuanced performances and finer plot points that only experienced analysts would notice. These are 9 to 5, lunchpail Hallmark guys, not flashy hip-hop Hallmark guys. And I should add this is very funny and the chemistry between Jeb and David, and occasional color commentator Sara Kate makes it a joy to listen to. Highly recommended and worth supporting thru Patreon for bonus content.
