19 DEC 2022 · Folks, it's that time of year again when the Hallmark movie channel really shines. The rest of the year they try to bring it with other seasonal-themed, predictable plot-lined love stories, but many of us just scroll on by as we flip around for something else to watch. But it takes a real Scrooge to resist the power of a Christmas-themed Hallmark romance. Other stations try to compete and some of them do a fine job, even stealing away headlining actors from the Hallmark channel (I'm looking at you Great American Family Channel), causing quite a stir. Streaming networks and Primetime TV have even come to play, bring some A-list (okay, B-list) names to the game -- but don't fall into this trap -- more choices doesn't mean better choices. So in picking a holiday romance to recap/review, Gretchen and Dennis decided to stick with a Hallmark origianl, "A Maple Valley Christmas". It's got all of the required elements - a couple of singles, a small town, a Christmas celebration and lots and lots of snow! And, of course, mistletoe!!

30 NOV 2022 · Many years ago, Dennis declared that as soon as Santa makes his appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade the Christmas celebration officially commences (at least in our living quarters). We're going to apply that same rule to the podcast. Although this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade seemed to be a bit more about the Queen of Christmas than the big guy in red, we definitely saw him for a minute there at the end, so Christmas season it is! We're kicking it off with a CLASSIC. Join Gretchen and Dennis for this discussion of "A Christmas Story" - the original movie from 1983, currently streaming on HBO Max.

24 NOV 2022 · Other than the Pilgrim Sandwich, the annual Turkey Bowl might just be the best Thanksgiving tradition ever, so we couldn't pass up the chance to watch and review a movie called "The Turkey Bowl", right? Especially once we found out that it stars some of our favorite actors, one from a show that we've previously covered on this very podcast. The big question is, now that we've seen it, will watching "The Turkey Bowl" become a part of our annual Thanksgiving tradition? Listen to find out!

24 NOV 2022 · Murdur Durdur Pod has been on a bit of hiatus due to some technical difficulties, but we're back. This review of "Morbius" was meant to be part of a series of darker movies for Halloween, but as it's being released as an after Halloween Halloween movie review, think of it as more of a Thanksgiving appetizer. There's always some time over a holiday break for a little comic book movie action.
