  • ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** Hallmark has pumped out over 800 of these original movies - and I use the term original very loosely. Its countdown to Xmas generates over a third of its entire revenue during this one month. But where do these films have their roots? Are they a new phenomenon or just the modern version of Pride & Prejudice? Are they an anti-capitalist subversion teaching that work and materialism do not equal happiness? Or a MAGA misogynist festival that seeks to humiliate women who have the temerity to seek a life, education, or career outside their home town? Alex compares notes with film critic Linda Marric, to get to the bottom of their enduring, and - given their quality - pretty surprising popularity. GOOD FESTIVE PICKS The Holiday *batteries not included The Family Man When Harry Met Sally... SO BAD THEY ARE GOOD FESTIVE PICKS Harvest Love A Law for Christmas 'Tis The Season to Be Merry Christmas at the Holly Hotel Sister Swap - City Edition Sister Swap - Country Edition Hallmark's daring interracial effort: Something from Tiffany's Hallmark's first gay starring couple: The Holiday Sitter Hallmark's does Hannukah: Love, Lights, Hannukah!
