It's a lot and they almost instantly regret not just eloping. While all this is going on, Leo and Rich are also planning the company Christmas party and it's looking like they might have to cancel this which leads to a massive fight between the two of them at a friend's party. And then they get in a huge argument with Aunt Angela because she's being too overbearing and of course that leads to her feelings getting hurt. And Leo and Rich end up getting in a fight too. Everyone makes up and they get good news - they got a big client!
They decide to actually listen to Michelle and Marc and just have a small ceremony at their house. And while they're at it, Leo and Rich are going to have a wedding too. A double wedding! Both couples kiss and they celebrate together.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review!
When Gethsemane is invited to play at a wedding, she and Eamon find themselves involved in the death of a member of the bridal party.
September 5, 2026 | Hallmark
Writers: Nick Hopkins, Tim James, Kraig Wenman
Cast:
The movie starts with this dude walking around, looking super stressed out. He comes up to a lighthouse and climbs to the top. He turns around and this dude pushes him off the top. This old guy goes to check on him as another guy begins to walk up.
36 hours earlier, Gethsemane is playing the piano at the school when Griff comes in. He's like I'm going to a wedding and the violinist backed out. Maybe you could come to fill in, be my date, do some dancing. She's in!
The groom is Ty and the bride is Sunny. Griff knows Ty - he was his first friend after the divorce. Of course it's not just the 2 of them - Eamon the ghost is also there.
The hotel has apparently been under renovation for a while and Gethsemane finds a piano to play with Eamon.
The wedding party is all there except for Franky, who shows up late, already intoxicated. Turns out everyone in the wedding party hates this dude. There are accusations of him owing money and he's got a lot of explaining to do.
The next morning, Gethsemane is walking around trying to get past her writer's block when she and Eamon come across the dead body of Frankie. Just then, the old dude that we saw walks through Gethsemane. Turns out he's a ghost! He says he's the last person to see this dude alive. His name is Colin. He says he saw someone run off after Frankie fell - they were wearing a long hooded jacket and were carrying something that looked like a necklace. Colin says they need to figure out who did this or else his son is gonna end up getting blamed for it. Apparently, the lighthouse belongs to the hotel which was owned by Colin and now is owned by his son, Daniel. The lighthouse railing needs to be replaced, so if they don't think it was a murder, he'll be held liable. Of course, Inspector O'Reilly shows up.
Apparently Frankie is a financial advisor but he's got a bunch of shady doings. The inspector is a bit suspicious of the groom. They have security footage of them in an argument the night he died and Frankie trying to give him this chain. He's like I'm gonna go ahead and wait for my lawyer. Apparently Frankie and the groom were on a boat one night when their best friend died and Frankie had his necklace.
Turns out, one of the people at the wedding was in love with that dude and overheard Frankie and the groom arguing. So she tells Frankie to meet her at the lighthouse and down he goes.
She finds Gethsemane in her room looking at that necklace. Luckily they're able to sort it all out and arrest her.
The wedding happens and Gethsemane still doesn't kiss Griff.

It's Marvel Monday and the Guardians face their final mission!
Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill rallies his team to defend the universe and one of their own - a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians if not successful.
May 5, 2023 | Theatrical Release
Director: James Gunn
Writers: James Gunn, Jim Starlin, Stan Lee
Cast:
The Guardians of the Galaxy have settled into their new headquarters on Knowhere, but their peace doesn't last long. Adam Warlock, a powerful warrior created by the Sovereign High Priestess, attacks the Guardians in an attempt to get revenge for them stealing from her. He critically injures Rocket before Nebula is able to stab him.
Unfortunately, the Guardians discover that they can't save Rocket because Orgocorp, the organization that experimented on him, implanted a kill switch inside him. With Rocket's life hanging in the balance, the Guardians set out to find the override code that can save him.
As Rocket lies dying, we learn the tragic story of how he became the Rocket we know. As a baby raccoon, Rocket was captured and experimented on by the High Evolutionary, the leader of Orgocorp. The High Evolutionary is obsessed with creating a perfect society by genetically modifying animals into intelligent, humanoid creatures called Humanimals. Rocket proves to be unusually intelligent, and the High Evolutionary uses his ideas to improve future generations of Humanimals. But instead of being proud of Rocket, the High Evolutionary becomes jealous that one of his creations is able to solve problems that he can't. He decides to remove Rocket's brain and destroy the rest of his Humanimal friends. Rocket attacks him in a rage, takes down his henchmen, and escapes in a spaceship, eventually becoming the Rocket we know today.
Back in the present, the Guardians enlist the help of an alternate version of Gamora, who is now a member of the Ravagers. Together, they break into Orgocorp and steal Rocket's file, only to discover that Theel, one of the High Evolutionary's advisors, has taken the override code.
Off to Counter-Earth they go to confront the High Evolutionary and the Guardians quickly discover just how dangerous the High Evolutionary really is because he's planning to destroy the entire planet.
They capture Theel and get the code to shut down Rocket's kill switch, but Rocket's heart stops, sending him into a near-death experience where he sees his Humanimal friends again and they tell him it's not his time. Peter Quill restarts his heart.
There's also this group of kids that the Guardians rescue and before leaving, Rocket also discovers a group of imprisoned animals on the ship. The High Evolutionary confronts him. The Guardians defeat him, but Rocket chooses not to kill him.
The Guardians help the animals and children escape to Knowhere. Quill nearly dies while trying to make it back, but Adam Warlock saves him after Groot had previously rescued Adam from the destruction of the ship.
With the mission over, Peter decides it's time for him to leave the Guardians. He names Rocket the new captain before returning to Earth and reuniting with his grandfather, Jason. Rocket is the new lead and a new team of Guardians is ready to save the world.

We're back with some more Gilmore Girls! Join us in this journey on social media - @gilmorethemerrierpod.
During a tutorial, Jess persuades Rory to take a drive and crashes her car, landing her in the hospital, and Lorelai rages at Luke for putting her daughter's life in danger.
April 30, 2002 | The WB
Lorelai and Rory are at Doose’s, commenting on the new bagger. They go to check out, and Taylor invites them to the movie in the park. Lorelai wants to know what movie they’re picking, but he refuses to answer.
It finally comes out that the movie is going to be The Yearling for the fourth straight time. Taylor is fed up with Lorelai complaining and says she can just pick the movie.
They head home and begin talking through movie options, but they can’t decide!
Meanwhile, Lane is in class taking a test when Jess sneaks in late while the teacher isn’t looking. He asks Lane for a pen—not to take the test, but to make notes in his book.
Luke ends up getting a call to come to the principal’s office. Jess is a problem. He’s doing absolutely no work, he’s not nice to his teachers, and baseballs are going missing. The principal says he has to hire Rory a tutor. She needs serious help.
Later, at Luke’s, Taylor comes in with a binder full of movie titles they can pick from. Apparently, these come from a company that gives Taylor a good deal. The movies are all really obscure.
Luke goes to talk to Jess, and Jess makes it clear that he doesn’t care about school. So Luke goes to talk to Lorelai and brings her brownies. He asks to talk to Rory and asks if she’d be willing to tutor Jess.
She agrees.
Lorelai is not so sure about that.
Kirk shows up at the diner and pitches Lorelai on showing her the short film he’s been working on. She is PUMPED to watch it!
Rory goes to help Jess and asks Lorelai not to tell Dean if he calls. Lorelai is not thrilled with that, but Rory insists they’re just going to study.
Jess wants to do everything BUT study. He says, "Let’s go get ice cream, and then I’ll study."
So they take her car.
On the way back, they talk about their dreams for their lives. Jess wants to work when he needs money and just do his own thing. Rory wants to go to Harvard and then become a journalist.
Jess says, "We could go back to Luke’s... or we could turn right and drive around for a while."
She says, "Turn right."
Next thing you know, Rory calls Lorelai with bad news.
They got in an accident.
That’s right, folks. Jess crashed Rory’s car... THE CAR THAT DEAN BUILT HER!
So Rory is at the hospital because she fractured her wrist. Lorelai goes to pick her up, but she’s going to be there for another hour for X-rays.
So Lorelai goes to find Jess and yell at him, but she can’t find him. Instead, she ends up just yelling at Luke.
It turns into a screaming match. It’s a whole thing.
She’s crying and calls... Christopher.
Luke finds Jess sitting on the bridge and sits down next to him.
Lorelai comes home and sleeps in Rory’s room. When she wakes up, she finds Chris sitting next to her. He says he’s going to stay through tomorrow to make sure Rory is okay.
She asks if Sherry knows, and he just says, "Rory comes first."
So methinks she might not know.
The next day, they all go to the movie. We see Kirk’s short, and it’s perfect.
They overhear Patty and Babette talking. Apparently, Luke took Jess to a bus station and sent him home.

It's Festive Friday with a snowbound family comedy!
A snowstorm traps a college student with his divorced parents, forcing them to band together when they discover that one of their guests is a con artist.
December 1, 2025 | Streaming
Directors: Aleshia Cowser Jackson, Mazi Oyo
Writers: Justin Colebrooke, Jordyn Harper, Aleshia Cowser Jackson
Cast:
The movie kicks off with these repairmen doing repairs to people's houses exclusively using a wrench. At one of the houses, there's an elderly woman. This repair guy goes outside and calls this dude and says hey I found a sugar momma for you. He's like I'm not sure. She's probably too old. Find me a younger sugar momma.
Cut to the opening credits which is animated and tells the story of this couple getting married, having a kid, and ultimately getting a divorce. They work the best they can to raise this kid. So that's the whole backstory I guess.
Cut to 1 year later and we see a guy open a safe and pull out a yellow folder. We meet Raymond, the kid from the pictures. His parents are in town to celebrate Christmas a week early. His roommate could not be more ready for them to leave so he can undecorate for Christmas because he hates it.
Raymond's Army dad leaves early but ends up coming back because his flight is cancelled. We meet Raymond's mom's new boyfriend - Greg and Greg is the sugar momma guy from the beginning! Turns out there's going to be a blizzard and everyone has to stay there, including Raymond's roommate and his 2 friends.
Greg goes next door where one of the repairmen lives. He hands Greg a gun but implores him to get the money and not kill anyone in the process. He's like it's going to be complicated now that everyone is there but ok.
Raymond is shocked to see his mom smoking weed with his friend, Winnie.
The power goes out and Christmas day comes and Greg and his partner strike! They gas everyone and hold them hostage at gunpoint. They tie them all up with Christmas lights. They decide the best course of action is to rob this place and then burn the house down. Luckily, they get loose and Raymond takes Greg down and dad shoots the other guy.
They all spend Christmas together and agree to spend every Christmas together moving forward.

Jacks joins us this week to continue our journey into Paris Is Always a Good Idea.
Change is in the air as Chelsea looks back on all of her loves and losses, now finally ready to face the future and anything it may hold for her.
August 27, 2026 | Hallmark+
Marcos hits on Chelsea's sister cuz why not. Chelsea is wrapping up her Knightly message but she wants it to be perfect. She's got 30 minutes til the ceremony.
We see a flashback of her with her mom before she passed away, talking about how to know you've met the one. Chelsea hears a crash in the kitchen and she goes to check on her dad who was really struggling with why it couldn't have been him who got sick. This is when Chelsea finds out that her mom knew she was sick before she went on the summer trip. She passed away 2 weeks later. Now Chelsea felt robbed of time. That's why she struggled so much afterwards.
She tells Knightly she wants to know if there's still a chance for them. She's thought about him every day for a year. One day, her sister calls her and tells her that she saw Knightly at a soccer game with another woman. Chelsea says he's moved on and that's what I wanted.
After the game, Knightly comes up to talk to little Martin. He awkwardly asks how Chelsea is and then is like jk I'm sure she's fine with the perfect job and perfect man.
The girls he's with turn out to be his sister.
Chelsea is talking to Marcos and she tells him that she thinks she's going to reach out to the ACC in hopes of being able to reconnect with Jason. He responds to the email very professionally but doesn't come to Spain for the meeting. He sends his boss. Chelsea is like if I knew it was you coming, I wouldn't have made you come. He's like oh yeah cuz you're in love with Knightly. She's like how did you know that?! Classic boss stuff.
It's time for her family to show up for the wedding.
It's bachelorette party time, complete with karaoke. Her sister pushes Chelsea to sing something which she finally does - Since U Been Gone.
This causes her to have a mini breakdown. She's so not moving on!!! She isn't okay on her own. She's not happy. And it's too late.
That night, Chelsea finds her dad watching his first wedding on his laptop. He's nervous. Chelsea gives him a pep talk. Chelsea then stays up to watch that wedding video and her mom's vows get Chelsea thinking - she has found her person she wants to tell all her secrets to.
So the next day, she starts recording these messages. She sends the message after the wedding but then hears the ding of a text. Knightly is right behind her! He's like you just sent me a pitch or something? She's like yes…the pitch of why we should be together. He says I have a pitch for you too and he kisses her. They go to the reception and all dance together. Marcos comes to dance with little Martin. Knightly asks Chelsea where they're gonna live and she's like we can figure it out with spreadsheets later. Tonight, we just love each other and they kiss some more.
