    We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Christmas Under Construction stars Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing in a Hallmark-style renovation romance that first aired on Hulu in 2024. Eric and Andrea watched it together for Christmas in July, and they landed in two completely different places. Andrea gives it 3.5 stars. Eric can’t get past the trope he hates most in Hallmark movies. Here’s exactly where they split and why. What You’ll Hear •       Why Andrea calls Christmas Under Construction a surprise 3.5-star pick for Christmas in July, even though she’s usually not a fan of the trend •       Eric’s problem with the movie’s emotional cheating trope, and how it compares to A Very Merry Mix-Up and It Was Always You •       Why Jessica Lowndes’ performance surprised both hosts, especially in one raw breakup scene opposite Daniel Lissing •       The random villain subplot that goes nowhere, and the one-room renovation that’s really just Christmas decorating •       Jessica Lowndes trivia on her music career, and why Eric calls one of her past movies “her punishment for leaving Hallmark” •       A first look at next week’s review: Mistletoe Murders starring Stephen Huszar and Catherine Barroll Chapters 0:00 – Christmas in July & Christmas Under Construction Setup 4:00 – The Plot: Jessica Lowndes, Daniel Lissing, and a Reality Show Renovation 8:00 – Andrea’s 3.5-Star Review vs. Eric’s Biggest Complaint 13:00 – Standout Scenes, Low Budget Gripes, and the Villain Subplot That Went Nowhere 17:00 – Similar Movies to Watch  Are you Team Andrea’s 3.5 stars or Team Eric’s one thumb down on Christmas Under Construction?

    The Love Heist Review

    We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Love Heist had every reason to be skippable.

    The Final Episode of The Way Home Review

    We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Way Home just ended, and somehow Del and Colton's scene in 1999 hit harder the second time than the first.

What you'll see in this episode: •       Why the 1920s timeline delivered the best acting in the entire series, and why Bianca Melchoir belongs in front of a camera far more than her resume currently shows •       The Del and Colton 1999 reunion, "Does he remember me?" and why both of them were bawling •       The Alice and Evelyn scene that got Eric both times he watched, and why the older Evelyn's mannerisms are a masterclass •       Eric's case for why Tessa surviving the explosion was a cheap cop out, and Andrea's gentle rebuttal •       Every thread the finale left open: Sam, Thomas, Casey's mysterious problem, Griffin's pond jumping, and what happens when Kat and Alice jump in again at the end •       Season rankings for all four seasons, favorite characters, and why Dan Janumet needs to be in every fifth Hallmark movie going forward Chapters: 0:00 - Intro and All Four Season Rankings 4:45 - The 1920s: Elliott Gets Healed and Fern Learns the Truth 9:30 - Fern, Cliff, and the Scene That Should Win Awards 14:00 - Cat, Grayson, and What the Pond Rejected 18:30 - Tessa and Griffin: The Cheap Cop Out Debate 23:00 - Jacob in the 1800s and Elijah's Mic Drop Moment 27:30 - Susanna Is 100% in Love With Cat 31:00 - Present Day: Elliot, Del, and the Proposal Nobody Fully Bought 35:30 - Alice and Evelyn: The Scene That Broke Eric 40:00 - Del and Colton in 1999: Does He Remember Me? 44:30 - The Wedding Scene With All the Timelines 48:00 - The Ending, the Lingering Questions, and Favorite Characters 51:49 - Final Thoughts on The Way Home as a Series Which moment hit you hardest in the finale: Del and Colton in 1999, or Alice and Evelyn?
