  • Time Loop/Time Travel Edition - April 2024
    Apr 26 2024

    Buckle up! Try to hang on as we hang out with Brandon Gray, Daniel Thompson, and Brian Herald from the Deck The Hallmark Podcast! They battle it out to create the definitive top 10 list of Hallmark Time Travel/Time Loop/Sliding Door movies out of the 30 eligible titles. Time flies as vetoes get thrown, ranking shenanigans ensue, and the laughs are out of this world! Kate joins the fun as Lynn's co host and trivia master while Erinbeth is adulting at a work event. The Love Letter is eligible for this draft; it aired on CBS TV before Hallmark had their own channel.

  • Hallstar Mash-up Edition - Feb 2024
    Feb 21 2024

    February is "Loveuary" in the Hallmark movie world, and Hallmark Movie Drafts is celebrating it with our first-ever Hallstar Mash-up Edition featuring the collective movies of fan favorites Brant Daughtery, Travis Van Winkle, and Marc Blucas, none of whom currently have enough movies for their own draft. Guest panelists Lisa, Jen, and Meredith create the definitive top 10 list of Hallmark movies from the 16 collective movies of these three Hallstars. Guest co-host Whitney joins host Lynn & co-host Erinbeth for this draft and weighs in with her thoughts. Will everyone play with love as they battle it out to get their picks onto the final list? Or will they choose chaos? (I think our listeners know the answer...buckle up for pick #7!) You can see a photo in our Instagram of the "heads" background Jen mentions that she and Lisa thought "wait, what is that??" in one of the movies we discuss (no spoilers!).

  • Non-Christmas Movies 2023 Edition
    Jan 17 2024

    This month's panelists Tracy, Kate, and Langley thrash through the 60 non-Christmas/Holiday movies that Hallmark premiered throughout 2023 and create the definitive list of the 10 best! Stephanie joins the fun as guest co-host as she and Erinbeth debut HMD's new process for the trivia round. Host Lynn shows off her pronunciation skills for a certain movie as vetoes are thrown, bold statements are made, and every one weighs in about...dogs! (The four legged, tail-wagging kind, not the "bad movie" kind.) Be sure to check out Tracy's TikTok for her Hallmark movie reviews (@Fabmathteacher).

  • 2023 Tournament of Champions - Round 1
    Jan 7 2024

    Wow! Check out the special music intro being used for the championship tournament shows only! This episode gives an overview of the 2023 Tournament of Champions which will take place throughout January 2024 as 14 panelists who won their 2023 matches compete to see who will eventually be named the 2023 Hallmark Movie Drafts champion! Lynn is joined by Erinbeth and Kate, and the three of them review the tournament format, who the 15 competing players are, and which 8 will be advancing to round 2! Round 1 was played with everyone submitting their answers via Google Forms, so it was not a recorded session. Round 2 will be a podcast that will drop later in January where you will hear the remaining 8 competitors play that round.

  • 2023 Top 10 Christmas Movies Edition - Dec 2023
    Dec 30 2023

    Shots fired right out of the gate - AGAIN! Brian, Mary, and Vanessa battle it out to create the ultimate top 10 list of the best Hallmark Christmas/Holiday movies that premiered in 2023! Guest co-host Susie gives her hot takes, joining host Lynn, and co-host Erinbeth. Some Double Deckers who drafted or guest co-hosted in 2023 join in at the end to share their takes on the final top 10 list, and the movies they loved - or didn't love-- this holiday season.

    There are 42 eligible movies that aired on Hallmark Channel or Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. We say booooo to Hallmark for only airing Rescuing Christmas and An Ice Palace Romance on Hallmark Movies Now as of this recording - so those aren't eligible for this draft.
