Christmas has come and gone, but our thoughts on the 2019 Countdown to Christmas will last forever! In the final part of our three part Hallmark Countdown to Christmas Critique, Christie and Lisa, critique the final eight Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movie premieres without the help of Joe (who was out galavanting around Texas)! Movies discussed are: Christmas Town (wrap up of our discussion in part two); A Christmas Love Story; Christmas at Dollywood; Holiday Date; A Cheerful Christmas; Double Holiday; It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas; and When Calls the Heart: Home For Christmas.

They may not have always been southern belles, but these days you would be hard pressed to find someone that would describe either Christie or Alex as anything but that. Both ladies originated in the Northeast, but are now embracing that southern living (Christie in Richmond, VA and Alex in Nashville, TN).

Topics include sarcasm/humor; aggressive vs. passive aggressive personalities; food; terminology and unique sayings; Smocking; hobbies; cotillion; and much more.

This episode's title says it all- We Watched the Teen Choice Awards So You Don't Have To! Christie and Lisa sit down to discuss the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, hosted by Lucy Hale and David Dobrick, and came to find out that they have absolutely no idea what is going on with people under the age of 21. From Web Stars, to the Jonas Brothers, to Taylor Swift, and then back to more Web Stars, Christie and Lisa don't hold back their opinions or their pure lack of knowledge about what the cool kids are doing these days.

Christie and Lisa go back to the very roots of Underwhelmed and share a myriad of stories that one could label as either overwhelming or underwhelming. It is safe to say that they are just not whelmed, so join us for a conversation about Christie losing her mind and being beaten down by life (but she's not broken), and Lisa winning at life by doing things like taking trips to the Hippie Hut Smoke Shop and surviving office fires.
