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

Kentucky Roses was the most hyped Hallmark movie of the year — and Odette Annable is the reason it paid off. Eric gives it a 4 out of 5 and Andrea gives it a 4.5, but it’s the moments neither of them expected that have both of them talking.

•       Why Odette Annable’s nonverbal performance in Kentucky Roses had Eric completely reversing his skepticism — and the specific moments that made her feel genuinely, authentically real

•       The one line of dialogue that stopped both hosts cold: a bold character moment Eric called “elevated writing” for Hallmark (you’ll know it when you hear it)

•       How the real Kentucky Derby — where a female trainer won for the first time in history — perfectly mirrored what was playing out in the movie that same weekend

•       What it means that Andrew Walker was executive producer of Kentucky Roses, and why male Hallmark stars are starting to take more creative control over their projects

•       The wildflower bush that was supposed to be a whole field of flowers (we love you, Hallmark, but come on)

•       Why Taking the Reins is the closest comparison to Kentucky Roses and worth adding to your watchlist right now
