Wedding Every Weekend Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

It's wedding season! To celebrate, Megan and Wendy review "Wedding Every Weekend" starring Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad. Fun fact: this was filmed in the summer of 2020 and apparently mannequins were used in the background as well as stand-ins so to abide by local social distancing requirements. Got an old Hallmark Channel favorite you'd like Girls Gone Hallmark to consider reviewing? Email the show at meganandwendy@gmail.com. Listen to Megan and Wendy review Hallmark Channel fan favorite movie: "Wedding Every Weekend" starring Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad. About "Wedding Every Weekend" ‘Wedding Every Weekend’ was filmed in Canada including Vancouver, British Columbia. This movie was filmed in June and July 2020, after the pandemic started, so there were social distancing rules in place. In an interview with The Sarah Scoop Show, Sustad said that they were the first production back since the pandemic started. Paul Campbell told Media Village “they were the first production to film during phase three of the reopening, starting on June 20" and "everyone wore masks, sanitized, and some had to stay within their departments.” Some interior weddings scenes were moved outdoors, everyone had morning temperature checks, and about 50% of the background performers are actually mannequins but Campbell said "they’ll be hard to spot." Related: We interviewed Julie Sherman Wolfe about her movie "Taking a Shot at Love" Who Was in "Wedding Every Weekend?" Kimberley Sustad plays Brooke. We last saw her in “Game of Love.” Paul Campbell plays Nate. We last saw him in “The Cases of Mystery Lane” - we’ll link our review in show notes. Also no upcoming projects on IMDB or Instagram… hoping we get another Mystery Lane movie early next year but would love to see a summer, fall or holiday movie. Related: Listen to our review of "The Cases of Mystery Lane" Brandi Alexander plays bestie Ginny. Brandi hasn't been in a Hallmark movies since 2021’s "Right in Front of Me" which was also written by Julie Sherman Wolfe. Peter Benson plays Brooke’s ex-boyfriend Colin. He’s in a lot of stuff on Hallmark but most notably he directed “The Wedding Veil Expectations” from earlier this year. Written by Julie Sherman Wolfe. She writes a ton for Hallmark Channel including "Hanukkah on Rye" and "A Holiday Spectacular" from 2022’s Countdown to Christmas. Upcoming according to IMDB a movie called “Field Day.” Directed by Kevin Fair who has directed 40 movies including “Morning Show Mysteries,” “We Need a Little Christmas,” and “Always Amore.” Find all episodes and shownotes on girlsgonehallmark.comFollow us on Instagram Email us! girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comJoin our Facebook Group!

Love to the Rescue Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

This week Megan and Wendy review "Love to the Rescue" as requested by listener of the podcast Paula! This movie premiered back in 2019 and stars Nikki DeLoach and Michael Rady as two single parents who connect over a rescued dog named Bruce. Girls Gone Hallmark will review Hallmark favorites all summer long! See the calendar below so you can watch along. Email the show and let us know which older Hallmark Channel movie you would like Girls Gone Hallmark to review! Email: meganandwendy@gmail.com Megan and Wendy are Girls Gone Hallmark. Listen in as they review fan favorite Hallmark movies all summer long! About "Love to the Rescue" This script was written by Sarah Montana who has four other writing credits including “A New Year’s Resolution,” “If I Only Had Christmas,” and “Two Turtle Doves.” She is currently in pre-production of a Christmas movies called “Rescuing Christmas” starring Rachel Leigh Cook (will be interested to see if this lands on Hallmark or elsewhere). Related: Listen to our review of "A New Year's Resolution" starring Michael Rady Directed by Steven R. Monroe who has 54 directing credits including “Caribbean Summer,” “A Winter Getaway,” and “Marrying Mr. Darcy.” Nikki DeLoach stars as Kate. The last new project from Nikki that we saw was “Curious Caterer: Grilling Season.” I also noticed on her IMDb that she is in production (at the time of this recording - April 2023) in a new Curious Caterer movie called “The Last Suppers.” Michael Rady plays Eric Smith. We last saw him on Hallmark in “Unexpected Grace” which drew some interesting critiques from a few in our Facebook group. He works a lot outside of the Hallmark universe, including as a regular on Magnum PI, Chicago Med, New Amsterdam, but he’ll always be the teenage cutie Kostas from “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” Shout out to Zip who played Bruce the dog. Sadly he doesn’t have any other work listed on IMDb. Loved that Kate and her ex-husband got along, successfully co-parenting. This was filmed entirely in Savannah, Georgia. This movie got a 6.9/10 from users on IMDb.

Mystery 101 May 30, 2023

Show notes

Megan and Wendy kick off their 2023 summer podcast schedule with a review of "Mystery 101" from 2019. This crime-drama stars Kristoffer Polaha and Jill Wagner and was the first in the series for the Hallmark Channel. Email the show and let us know which older Hallmark Channel movie you would like Girls Gone Hallmark to review! Email: meganandwendy@gmail.com Megan and Wendy review fan favorite "Mystery 101" starring Kristoffer Polaha and Jill Wagner. About "Mystery 101" Mystery 101 has a Wikipedia page! It premiered originally on Jan 27, 2019 on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. Earlier this year, Polaha gave an interview with Just Jared. Regarding an 8th installment he said “We love telling those stories and whatever the network decides…it’s inconclusive,” also adding “there’s always been conversation about number eight, [but] there’s no like official word.” Kristoffer Polaha stars as Detective Travis Burke. He has an impressive 77 acting credits with his first dating back to 2001 as Dylan in the teen vampire drama “Angel.” On deck for Polaha: “Harlan Coben’s Shelter” and the highly anticipated “A Biltmore Christmas” for Hallmark. Related: "A Winning Team" Hallmark Movie Review Jill Wagner plays Professor Amy Winslow. She has 31 acting credits including 6 episodes of the MTV prank show Punk’d and it looks like her first Hallmark movie was “Autumn Dreams” from 2015. Related: Jill Wagner in a clip from Punk'd Robin Thomas plays Amy’s dad Graham Winslow. Want to talk about impressive resume, this guy has 137 acting credits listed on IMDb. I recognized his face immediately from the old soap opera “Another World” where he played Mark Singleton from 1983-1985. I have absolutely NO IDEA how I remembered him considering I was 8 years old. He’s also been in a movie I was too young to watch called “Summer School” from 1987, “Who’s the Boss?” “Fuller House” “Damages” - tons of others.
