Eric and Andrea review A Knight to Remember, Hallmark's October rom-com where museum conservator Emily (Julie Gonzalo) kisses the statue of a 1400s English knight and accidentally brings Sir Griffin (James Trevena) to life in Chicago. Andrea gives it 2 stars and found it slow going. Eric lands at 2.5, calling it corny, light Hallmark fun with two leads who were better than the script. Neither of them is calling it memorable, but they don't agree on how forgettable it is.

What You'll Hear:

• Why both hosts think James Trevena has the comedic timing to keep landing Hallmark leads, even if a 1400s knight wasn't the role to show it off

• The Chris McNally cameo at the archery contest, opposite his real-life wife Julie Gonzalo, that Andrea completely missed

• The tone problem: an ex-boyfriend FBI subplot that stalled whatever whimsy the movie managed to build

• Andrea's case for more magic and more fish-out-of-water chaos than one quick joke about indoor plumbing

• Whether Emily and Griffin worked as a couple, or felt more like a woman taking on a 600-year-old project

• Similar watches: 2023's Made for Each Other, 1987's Mannequin and Making Mr. Right, and Life-Size with Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan

• Trivia on two Southern Hemisphere-born leads starring in a movie set in Chicago

• Instagram poll results for Garage Sale and Pumpkin Regatta

• News on Private Eyes West Coast coming to Hallmark+ and a first look at next week's The Spirit of Halloween with Meghan Ory
