    Late to the party
    Well, I’m still late to the party and have now spent the last few day’s binging all your episodes to catch up. I am on the October 10th episode where you are talking to another podcaster about watching Hallmark and I have to say that you all nailed it!! I have always watched the Hallmark specials on regular network, but about a year ago, I just couldn’t take hearing the news, the fighting, name calling, etc. and I told my friends I was moving to Hallmark. Every story is nice, every character is kind (almost) and who doesn’t want a predictable happy ending? Right?? I just have a feeling that the Hallmark ratings on cable and on the app have gone up significantly. You two are doing a great job!! And Diane, spotting the dog in first episode of The Way Home was genius!! I’m a mystery lover and dog lover and I did not catch that one!! Keep it up you two!! 👍🏼

    Comfort food for Hallmark fans
    This is an interesting, informative and positive podcast about Hallmark movies. Dianne and Michael have a fun dynamic. I like to listen to podcasts to fall asleep, but they are too funny for that category!
  • Ultimate Hallmark Fan
    A nice pleasant listen
    Their podcast is always positive, even when it isn’t they find a way to be nice. They are very knowledgeable of the industry and have a genuine passion for the Hallmark genre. This is a great listen while you are out walking the dogs.
  • JPRainbiw
    Wonderful!
    This is such a sweet and fun podcast to listen to. I just love listening to Dianne & Michael’s thoughts on the movies and shows as well as the stories they tell about places they’ve visited. It’s such a soothing podcast to listen to at work. Oh and they went above and beyond for me when I needed help figuring out what song was played in a show on hallmark. Two genuinely kind people. Thank you again!
  • not almost fmous
    Chock full of content
    This podcast is so enjoyable. They give a lot of information about the movie. Their voices are so soothing and melodic. I like that they only review movies they truly enjoy and most times I feel the same way. In a world of negativity, it refreshing to only hear positive thoughts. Give it a listen, I think you’ll enjoy it too.

    Tasty Hallmark Podcast Filled With Delectable Treats
    I serendipitously found the Hallmark Cafe and absolutely love it. It is scrumptious! Dianne and Michael serve up an entertaining and informative podcast that is smart and satisfying. Their observations enhance your viewing experience. The little details about music, costumes and production are delightful. They only review what they like. Also, they are relatively spoiler-free. This podcast is a valuable tool for viewers who may be too busy to watch every Hallmark movie. But also for loyal Hallmark fans who want to continue to experience the good feelings after they watch a terrific movie.

    Hallmark meets Cafe
    I’m a avid Hallmark fan; watch all the movies and love just about all of them. I’m also an avid podcast listener and follow a handful of Hallmark based podcast, this is seriously the best one there is. Dianne and Michael are fun and make sure not to give away spoilers to listeners. While they give opinions and insights they are very respectful when discussing movies and make the conversation fun. There’s a few other podcast that can be snarky which makes me turn off the show; I’ve never had that feeling with The Hallmark Cafe.

    Love the Positivity!
    I listen to a handful of different Hallmark review podcasts, and they each bring something a bit different to the table, which is great! However, what I love so much about Hallmark Cafe is that Michael and Dianne only review the movies they truly enjoyed. Who doesn’t love an added dose of positivity in their week?!🤩 They work very well together, are respectful of one another, we get to hear Dianne’s beautiful singing voice, and learn tidbits about the entertainment industry. Their calming, yet sunny dispositions, are sure to brighten anyone’s day. 5/5⭐️ - No complaints from me!

    Love their passion & knowledge
    Dianne and Michael are so knowledgeable about the movies, the behind the scenes and are so thoughtful in their reviews. I also enjoy hearing Dianne’s music in the episodes. I enjoy coming to the table to see what’s on the menu each week!

    If you love the movies you will love this podcast
    The Killens bring a unique and entertaining perspective to reviewing the latest Hallmark offerings. With their backgrounds in the music and film industries, they often see and hear thinngs that I missed. I look forward to every episode.
