January Listener Mailbag

Welcome to a Listener Mailbag episode, where the inbox is popping off and the vibes are… spirited. We’re starting today with a message that would like us to know - very clearly - that our Sue Thomas F.B.Eye pilot review was, in their words, bad and wrong. Just to clarify: we watched the pilot, we didn’t love it, and we said that out loud on the internet. No regrets. From there, we’re opening emails that range from “I just discovered you and adore you” to extremely detailed holiday-season critiques to sequel intel. And yes, we’re also addressing a suggestion that we host a fundraiser or contest where a listener records an episode with us - which sounds adorable, generous, and wildly optimistic about our influence. As always, thank you for caring enough to write in - whether you’re cheering us on or yelling at us through your phone. Let’s get into it.Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Lost in Paradise

We’re kicking off 2026 Hallmark movies in style  - and possibly barefoot - with Lost in Paradise, the very first Hallmark movie of the year and the perfect launch for January’s Winter Escape theme. When a high-powered fashion founder finds herself unexpectedly marooned on an island with a talented chef, survival turns into sparks, teamwork turns into tension, and romance sneaks in right along with the tropical breeze. Starring Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding, this one is serving escapism, chemistry, and “why am I suddenly craving a beach vacation?” energy.Click here for full episode show notes: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/lost-in-paradise-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Ripple Episode 5 (Netflix)

Ripple Episode 5 slows everything way down - and somehow makes it hurt more. This episode leans hard into grief, exhaustion, and the quiet moments where life feels stuck while everyone else keeps moving. Between Aria’s isolation after her miscarriage, Nate’s physical limits becoming impossible to ignore, and a surprise emotional gut punch delivered via an internet customer service call (of all things), Episode 5 trades big plot twists for something heavier and more intimate. It’s not flashy, but it’s deeply felt and it left us sitting in our feelings long after the credits rolled.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-5-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Santa Tell Me (Encore)

In their latest review, Megan and Wendy dive into the holiday heart of Santa Tell Me, where Olivia is falling for Chris… or maybe it’s Nick? With Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing back in action, this movie serves up a twisty romance wrapped in holiday charm. Tune in to Girls Gone Hallmark to hear if Olivia finally finds her Christmas miracle - or if this story left Megan and Wendy longing for a bit more magic!Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/santa-tell-me-hallmark-movie-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy
