Hi, I'm Bran and I love Hallmark Christmas movies. Hey, I'm Panda and I like Hallmark Christmas movies.

I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Christmas movies.

Hi, I'm Doug Jones and I love

Hallmark Christmas movies and this is the Deck the Hallmark podcast

and I love it.

Boy, what a day. What an exciting day.

This session is exciting day. Doug, thank you so much for joining us to talk about Hallmark Christmas movies.

Well, I would be doing it here at home with Mrs. Laurie if I didn't have you guys.

And Doug Jones is being awfully modest. He is not just Doug Jones. He's Doug Jones currently on Star Trek Discovery,

which is a CBS All Access show. You need to check it out. He also has worked extensively with Guillermo Del Toro

in Pans Labyrinth and in Shape of Water. Actually haunted my nightmares from Pans Labyrinth, so thanks for that Doug.

Oh, it's my pleasure. No, seriously, it is.

He had eyes in his hands, isn't that you, Doug? That was you? Man.

That was me. I was also the fond in that movie. Oh my gosh. Wow.

And then you were the guy, you were the creature in Shape of Water. I was the amphibian man.

Now, I don't know anything about Shape of Water, but I know a lot about Hallmark Christmas movies.

Okay. And I know that you do too. Tell people about your history with these movies.

Okay. So here's the deal with Hallmark and me.

My relationship started when I was on location shoot somewhere in Europe.

I do lots of dark material as a preacher type actor. I'm often in science fiction or horror or something.

So when I spent an entire day doing that, or like I was on the TV show Falling Skies before this scene,

that's when I really got hooked into Hallmark. I'm up in Vancouver.
