We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

Lacey Chabert kicks off her new six-episode Hallmark+ series, Paris Is Always a Good Idea, and Eric and Andrea have very different takes on episode one, "Paris Revisited." Andrea's all in on the sibling storyline and the slow burn with Jason. Eric read the book. He has notes.

What You'll Hear:

  • Why the library lost Andrea's copy of the book before she could read it
  • What changed between the novel and the TV adaptation, and why it matters
  • The sibling storyline between Chelsea and Annabelle, and the weight of losing their mom
  • Barbara Niven's role as the dad's new girlfriend, and why the restraint works
  • The casting age debate around Chelsea's character
  • The Chelsea/Jason enemies-to-lovers setup and where it's headed
  • What Eric and Andrea want to see more of in episode two
