Episode #50 – Holly Jolly Hallmark
The MCU, Star Wars, Pokémon; all are examples of properties that we would never have predicted how popular they would ultimately become when they first started. Believe it or not, another example of that is Hallmark movies. Hallmark made-for-tv movies have grown to become very popular throughout the year, but especially for the holiday season. Each year, the number of Holiday movies they produce seems to jump. They’re fun, light, and easy to watch. Join us as we take a holiday season inspired detour all the way to Christmastown, where Clifton and Zack attempt to explain what their obsession with Hallmark Christmas movies is all about to Tommy and Frank.
