It's officially Countdown to Cultmas! Make yourself a falalatte and keep your expectations for plot continuity ho-ho-low because this week, Chelsea, Reese, and Amanda are uniting for a guffaw-worthy 'sode on the escapist seasonal "cult" that is Hallmark Christmas Movies. These cheesy made-for-TV treats may look utterly innocent on the outside, but when you unpack the extreme parasocial idol worship of Hallmark's recurring stars, its tent revival-esque conventions, nostalgic-to-a-fault themes, and problematic practices that have led to major legal trouble, that egg nog starts to taste a little more like Kool-Aid (can we say that?). Tune in for lols and analysis as your hosts attempt to figure out if this jingle-jangly franchise is high-key sinister, or if we're just being dramatic. 🎄📺🍪🌟🎁 Follow us on IG @soundslikeacultpod @amanda_montell @reesaronii @chelseaxcharles Subscribe to Sounds Like A Cult on YouTube!

If you're a fan of true crime, mystery and or period pieces, then I have the perfect iPhone game to recommend to you.
It's called June's Journey and it follows this bold young protagonist named June as she goes to uncover her family's scandalous secrets at her sister's estate.
When you play this game, you get to escape reality and immerse yourself in a gripping tale of mystery, murder and romance where every clue brings you closer to the truth.
My absolute favorite thing about June's Journey is is how beautiful it is.
It takes place in the 1920s and as you go along the plot uncovering these clues to solve the mystery of the game, you get to decorate the island and it is very aesthetic.
I love to play this game when I kind of need to wind down to distract my brain to self soothe.
It's relaxing, it's intriguing and if you're a fan of this podcast, I really think you'll like the game.
Can you unmask the truth?
