This week, Andrea and Eric complete their journey through the Emma Fielding Mysteries series with More Bitter Than Death—and it’s a wild ride! From secret societies under Keyser College to surprisingly entertaining (and unintentionally hilarious) fight scenes, they break down everything that worked—and everything that had them scratching their heads.

They talk about Courtney Thorne-Smith’s much-improved performance, the evolving romance between Emma and Jim, and why this movie might just feature one of Hallmark’s cutest kisses. Plus, they discuss plot holes involving underground tunnels, a questionable “retirement,” and one actor’s baffling accent adventure.

🔎 Highlights include:

🏰 A mystery layered with secret agendas, shady professors, and black-market artifacts

🧩 The “so-bad-it’s-good” fight scene you have to see to believe

💬 Thoughts on Hallmark’s current programming shifts (and a little Timberwolves playoff update!)

💖 Why the romance felt sweet—and how it could have evolved if the series continued

🎭 Character shoutouts and Hallmark trivia you don’t want to miss

If you love cozy mysteries, imperfect Hallmark magic, and a little bit of playful critique, this episode is packed with fun.
