I’ve listened to Deck the Hallmark for years, and what originally made the show great was how unserious it was. It felt like a bunch of funny guys hanging out, making dumb jokes, talking movies, and fully embracing the absurdity of the whole thing. That self-awareness is what made it so entertaining. Lately though, specifically Marvel Mondays, feels like it’s trying way too hard to become a serious movie-analysis podcast, and it’s lost a lot of the fun because of it. Dan used to be the lovable grouch of the group. His constant shots at Bran felt playful because everybody seemed in on the joke. But somewhere along the way, the dynamic shifted from funny teasing to Dan becoming a full-blown know-it-all who dominates almost every conversation. At times it genuinely feels like he believes nobody else could possibly understand a movie on the same intellectual level he does, which is especially funny considering this is a podcast that built its audience reviewing Hallmark movies. The accidental comedy there is incredible. At this point, one of the funniest parts of the show is hearing Ryan passive-aggressively refuse to just roll over for Dan the way Bran often does. You can almost hear Ryan getting tired of the constant lecturing and steamrolling, and honestly those subtle little moments of resistance have become more entertaining than some of the actual movie discussions. I miss when the show leaned fully into the chaos and stupidity. The Crystal Dance. Trace. Rigg. The stories about Brett Debbie growing up in a house made entirely of Little Debbies. That random nonsense was the heart of the podcast because it felt natural instead of forced. The show was always better when it felt like a group of personalities bouncing off each other instead of one person trying to turn every Marvel movie into a graduate film thesis.
My favorite podcast. A perfect blend of different personalities and passion that creates a very funny, fun, positive listening experience. Something good to look forward to, which is increasingly needed in this world. The “negativity” is all in jest and is quite humorous, and not actually negative at all. I also like the doses of reality and PSAs at times about how to be a good person.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for adding Gilmore the merrier to your podcast! I’ve been a big fan of the Christmas movie reviews for years. I’m a huge Gilmore girls fan and I’ve watched the entire series through at least five times. Each Gilmore the merrier episode is so entertaining and makes my drives in the car and walks outside just fly by.
This podcast has been such a light and fun listen in the midst of some really hard days. The episodes are delightful to listen to while I am doing dishes or folding laundry and even though I barely watch Hallmark, I rarely miss an episode!
This was one of my favorite podcast because of the laughs and giggles. But the negative comments from one of the podcasters has gone overboard for me. I feel he forgets he is a Hallmark reviewer and not a reviewer for PBS. His attitude has grown over the past few years. The show can still be fun and creative but the negativity was a downer for me.
I loved the podcast last year. It was a show I would be comfortable letting my children listen to . But this year the innuendos are frequent and uncomfortable. They have nothing to do with Christmas or Hallmark movies. I’m surprised they haven’t lost their sponsors.
