It's time!

It's time!

Hello and welcome to Benjmas, a 12-part holiday special here on the Ringer Podcast Network.

My guest is already laughing.

I'm your host Jody Walker, and we are on day seven of binging this year's best original holiday offerings from Hallmark, Netflix, and more.

And today that means a Newport Christmas, a movie about Christmas-based time travel,

which, best I can understand it, is like a river that flows from the past to the present.

And yes, that is a quote from the present. And yes, that is a

quote from the movie. And yes, they do use a protractor to check that science. But none of that matters

because this, if you can believe it, is a movie about a woman's legacy. And to break down the latest

in time travel and Christmas comments, I could only turn to official sci-fi bestie of the pod,

first-time Benjamas caroler,

but longtime believer in letting the fan do the talking.

Charles Holmes, Merry Benjamas.

How are you?

Yo, what is going up, Jody?

Like, what's going on?

I honestly feel like the ringer only teams us up for the most deranged shit. The last time I talked to you was for the rehearsal. That's actually such a good point. And this could have been an exercise in the rehearsal. I'm honestly not positive. I wasn't being filmed. Here's the thing. You picked this. I did. You set me up to it. No, Charles. You picked this. When I asked you to come on binge miss, I said, hey, and honestly, I don't ask everyone this. I just, I wanted to know your honest answer. I said, on a scale of one to deranged, where would you like to fall? And you said, give me the

worst you got, aka, give me the best you got. And I said, I got Newport Christmas, babe.

Here's the thing, no regrets, but I did not know anything about this movie before I signed up

for Hallmark Plus.

Did not read the synopsis.
