Megan and Wendy duke it out in their review of The Christmas Contest. One thing they do agree on - the hair. Woof.

News and Notes

Insider.com reported that reuniting Candace Cameron Bure and John Brotherton was for the fans who wanted to see DJ and Matt together on Fuller House.

This movie was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in September.

Apparently there were several Fuller House Easter eggs dropped throughout this movie. The only one we caught is when Ben was playing cards with the ladies and yells "full house!"

Did you see the pillows in Lara's home? At the time of recording the podcast episode, we didn't know for sure if they were from the Candace Cameron Bure line of pillows available on DaySpring.com. But, they are! You can get your own "Be Still" pillow too! It comes in a set of 2 for $60.

These pillows were used on the set of The Christmas Contest. They are from Candace Cameron Bure's line of holiday pillows and are available for purchase.

BJ Harrison plays Martha in this movie. She has a pretty deep resume, including a ton of Hallmark movies. Check her out in Maid on Netflix as Denise - so good.

We weren't fans of CCB's hair in this movie. Here's a look back at some better hairstyles.

Did the writers of this movie lean in hard for the conservatives likely watching this movie? Hear us out:
