Predictably Unexpected
Welcome to Predictably Unexpected — the holiday Hallmark romcom podcast you didn’t know you needed! Your hosts, Holly & Scottie, are obsessed with predictably heartwarming Christmas movies. Think big-city careers, small-town charm, last-minute snowstorms, and just maybe... a kiss under the mistletoe.
Using their official Predictability Scorecard — a totally serious, highly scientific game where they rate each holiday film on classic Hallmark-style tropes. From city vs. small-town settings to surprise character backstories, they’ll predict the plot before they even hit play. If they guess the movie right, they earn points — and yes, there’s a prize (or at least bragging rights) on the line.
What to Expect This Season:
• Weekly episodes all through the holiday season (hopefully)
• Predictions, recaps, and hilarious real-time reactions
• A rotating lineup of festive films, friendly competition, and a lot of hot takes (and hot cocoa)
So grab your coziest blanket, pour yourself something peppermint-flavored, and get ready to celebrate the most predictably unexpected time of the year!
