What A Hell Of A Way To Die

This week my wife Beth joins me for another Hallmark movie deep dive. Instead of focusing on one movie, we have leaned into the whole Hallmark experience. In this episode we discuss USS Christmas, Christmas Homecoming, and the reality show Finding Mr. Christmas. We will have two more episodes, one on Operation Christmas Drop and a final Christmas eve drop of our trip to Hallmark Crown Center in Kansas City to immerse ourselves in the Hallmark experience.
