Next Episode: The Dig (2021)

For the last episode of 2020*, we watched A Timeless Christmas, one of this year's Hallmark holiday films. The film is about a museum director who is somehow simultaneously a docent falling in love with the man she wrote her PhD on, a 1900s industrialist accidentally time travelling to the present day. It was irredeemably bad. Madeline and I got angry about collections handling, romance tropes,  museum budgets, and secret drawers. 


*I'm taking December off to research and record, so the show will be back in January. See you then!
