The guy, Miles, is telling his girlfriend Gemma that lately things have felt different between them — in a good way. He says he feels this whole new connection and decides to propose. There’s just one problem: she tells him she’s not actually Gemma. He’s like, “You could’ve just said no. You didn’t have to lie.” Brutal. Cut back three days. Gemma is hanging out with her mom, who tells her she’s Airbnb-ing out their flat to some very posh guests. Gemma helps get everything ready, but after forgetting her phone inside, she heads back in… and is stunned to find the guest is basically her. Not her exactly — but her long-lost twin. Enter Princess Corinthia. Apparently, their mom once had a fling with a royal, and now we’ve got ourselves a surprise princess twin situation. Naturally, the only logical response is to swap lives. Hilarity ensues. Gemma, pretending to be Corinthia, immediately starts enjoying the royal perks — including drinking a whole lot. Meanwhile, Corinthia, pretending to be Gemma, sits down at the piano and starts being all elegant and mysterious, which of course makes Miles fall even harder for her. Back on the royal side, Gemma-as-Corinthia starts spending more time with Corinthia’s personal assistant, Connie. Sparks fly, slow dancing happens, and eventually…they kiss. Then the BIG twist drops: Gemma’s mom actually stole a baby from the royal family years ago. So now the twins have a plan. They reunite, expose the truth, and set things in motion to get their mom arrested. They also tell the royal family everything. And while they’re at it, Gemma comes clean to Connie so they can actually be together, and Corinthia tells Miles the truth so they can be together too. And just like that, everybody gets their correct romance. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Ant-Man

4/6/2026
It's Marvel Monday and we're shrinking down to size! ABOUT ANT-MAN Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, pull off a plan that will save the world. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ANT-MAN July 17, 2015 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF ANT-MAN Director: Peyton Reed Writers: Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish, Adam McKay Cast: BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Back in 1989, Hank Pym is working with S.H.I.E.L.D. until he finds out they’re trying to copy his shrinking technology, and he’s like, “Absolutely not, y’all are way too shady for tiny science.” So he quits and decides nobody gets the shrink suit on his watch. Fast forward to the present and Hank’s life is not going great. His daughter Hope is mad at him, his former protégé Darren Cross has basically stolen his company, and Cross is this close to making his own terrifying murder-shrinking suit called Yellowjacket. Hank sees this and is like, “Cool, this is really bad” and does not sign off on it but Darren doesn't care. Meanwhile, we meet Scott Lang, a lovable ex-con whose main personality trait is that he’s trying really hard. He gets out of prison, moves in with his buddy Luis, and wants to be a good dad to his daughter Cassie. Unfortunately, society has decided once you’ve gone to jail you’re only allowed to work at Baskin-Robbins for like six minutes before getting fired. He tries to visit Cassie, but his ex Maggie and her cop fiancé Paxton are like, “Maybe pay child support before doing surprise pop-ins, my guy.” So naturally, Scott does what any struggling dad trying to get his life together would do: he agrees to do one more burglary. His buddy Luis tells him about this rich old dude’s house with a big safe, so Scott breaks in, cracks the safe, and finds… a weird leather motorcycle suit. Not cash. Not jewels. He takes it home, puts it on, and immediately shrinks down to bug-size and nearly dies in a bathtub and getting stomped on at a party, all while some voice talks to him in his mask. Terrified, Scott decides to return the suit, but on his way out he gets arrested. cuz thief. But surprise! The whole thing was a setup by Hank Pym, who wanted to see if Scott had the skills to become the new Ant-Man. He tells Scott that if he wants to help and also get out of the jail, to put back on the suit. It works and he shrinks again and sneaks out.. Hank recruits Scott to help steal the Yellowjacket tech before Darren Cross can sell it to evil people, which, spoiler alert, he absolutely plans to do. So now Scott enters the classic superhero training montage portion of the movie where he learns hand-to-hand combat, how to use the suit, and most importantly, how to command ants like some kind of tiny bug king. Hope, meanwhile, is clearly way more qualified for all of this and would obviously be better at the job, but Hank refuses to let her do it because he’s still deeply traumatized over what happened to her mother Janet. We learn Janet was the original Wasp and got lost in the Quantum Realm years ago while stopping a missile, which is both sad and also the most comic-book sentence imaginable. To prep for the big heist, Scott needs a special device, which means he has to sneak into Avengers headquarters. This leads to a random but delightful side quest where he fights Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, and somehow wins mostly by being annoying and tiny. It’s one of those MCU moments where the movie just casually reminds you, “Oh right, this all technically connects.” Then it’s time for the big finale. Darren Cross unveils the Yellowjacket at Pym Technologies during a fancy event, and Scott and the crew break in to stop the sale. Luis and the gang somehow become essential parts of the mission despite being, at best, wildly underqualified. Scott sneaks in with a whole army of ants, plants explosives, and tries to steal the suit. But Cross is ready for...

Nelson, Michael Hickey, Paul Caimi Cast: BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We meet this boy who is in an assisted living waiting room and he keeps being creeped out by these random people. The kid goes back to see his grandpa who talks to him about Santa, but he starts coughing like crazy. He goes to get his grandpa some water but it's too late. Grandpa coughs up just an insane amount of blood. Bad news - grandpa is dead. They get on the road and, while at a stop light, a car comes behind them and just slowly taps them. The dad gets out to check and is shot by a Santa Claus. Santa shoots towards the mom. She's able to kick him in the neck with her heel but he gets one last shot in before they both die. The boy, Billy, is there to watch it all. Years later, Billy is now an adult. He wakes up in a hotel room and we see a dead body in the bathtub. He takes some of the blood from that body and puts it in this weird bloody advent calendar he keeps. Billy hears this voice that's kind of guiding him. It's a bit like Venom. You know Venom? It's like that. Billy sees a woman that he fancies and follows her to the Christmas shop that she works at. He applies for the job and gets it so that he can be close to her. Her name is Pamela. It doesn't take long for him to find his next victim - an older dude who hits on Pam. We find out that way back when, after his mom stabbed Santa with her heel, Billy went to check on him and when they touched hands, this electrical surge passes between them. That's the voice we hear. We find out that there's an urban legend in town - the Snatcher. Someone who takes kids. Pam's dad is like it's just a myth...although, there is an alarming number of missing kids. Pam gets arrested for sticking up for her nephew. Her ex-boyfriend is a cop and he tells her that she's being released. That's when we find out that they broke up because he punched her in the face. He really wants to get back with her but she's not having it. Luckily for Billy, he comes across a nazi Christmas party. That makes picking his next kill pretty quickly. He just goes ham on the nazis but the head nazi starts shooting and he ends up getting hit which allows her to get away. But he's ok. It's not his first rodeo. Tough break for Billy. He's asked to play Santa at work which turns out to be incredibly challenging for him because of what happens to him when he puts on the suit. But he's able to make it through and Pam is very impressed and finds him in the back room and they make out and what not. We see Pam's dad come across this little girl who is in a van. She had been taken by the Snatcher. The Snatcher comes behind him and kills him. Obviously, Pam is distraught. She tells Billy that she wished Santa was real so that she could ask Santa to kill the guy who killed her dad. Billy decides to confide in her. He tells her about the electrical surge and how he now is guided by the voice of Charlie, aka Santa. Santa knows who has been naughty and is able to show Billy what they did. So Billy only kills guys that he knows have done real bad stuff. Pam is unfazed. Charlie leads them to a Christmas tree lot where they find three kids in this bunker with ball pit balls. Pam goes down there and little does she know that the Snatcher is down there too. Guided by Charlie, Billy is able to kill the Snatcher by stabbing him with a box cutter. When he goes outside, Pam's ex-boyfriend cop is there and he shoots Billy. Pam comes out and sees Billy laying there. He's dying. She grabs his hand and the electrical surge happens.

He tells her it's gonna likely be over $500 which is more than she has. She's looking at her ring and her daughter says whatever you do, don't sell your ring. Lars, Ned's dad, shows up with the wood from the prospectors. They wanted to return it to her. Tom is there when this happens and tells her it looks like she's making friends. He also insists that she not pay him for the carriage wheel. Instead, he wants her to teach Peggy how to read. The episode ends with Alexander writing a field report about this place. He says nothing of note except one woman who is a bit suspicious. Why would someone leave with her daughter to come to open a boarding house? UH OH!

Avengers: Age of Ultron

3/30/2026
It's Marvel Monday and the Avengers are back to face their greatest threat yet(?)! ABOUT AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON When Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON May 1, 2015 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Director: Joss Whedon Writers: Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby Cast: BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Meet the Avengers — back together again because apparently no one else can handle a simple “let’s raid a HYDRA base” situation. Their mission? Break into Baron von Strucker’s operation, stop some deeply concerning human experimentation, and get Loki’s scepter back where it belongs. Easy enough… until they run into Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, a pair of enhanced twins with super speed, mind games, and enough power to make everyone very uncomfortable. After recovering the scepter, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner do what Tony Stark and Bruce Banner always do: they mess with something they absolutely should not mess with. Hidden inside the scepter is the advanced intelligence they think can finally complete Ultron, a global peacekeeping program Tony has been dreaming about. Unfortunately, Ultron wakes up with exactly one idea in mind: humanity has got to go. He destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., wrecks Avengers Tower, steals the scepter, and heads out to build himself a better future… one without people in it. Ultron recruits Wanda and Pietro by showing them Tony’s greatest hits in collateral damage, and together they set out to collect vibranium for whatever nightmare project he’s cooking up. When the Avengers try to stop them, Wanda gets inside everyone’s heads and forces them to confront their worst fears. Things really go off the rails when she manipulates Bruce into becoming the Hulk in the middle of a city, leaving Tony to suit up in the Hulkbuster armor and punch his friend through several buildings. Not great for public relations. With the team shaken, divided, and freshly hated by the public, Hawkeye brings everyone to the one place no one saw coming: his secret farmhouse, where he casually reveals that he has a wife, kids, and a whole hidden life none of them knew about. It’s a surprisingly grounding stop for a team on the verge of collapse, and it gives them just enough clarity to realize Ultron’s plan is much bigger than they thought. Once Wanda sees that he’s not trying to save the world but end it, she and Pietro switch sides and join the Avengers. Things escalate quickly when Ultron kidnaps Natasha, forcing the team into another rescue while also arguing over whether they should trust the strange new synthetic body Tony and Bruce have been building. Thor returns just in time to supercharge the process, explaining that the gem in Loki’s scepter is tied to something far more powerful: the Infinity Stones. The result is Vision, a mysterious new being who immediately earns everyone’s trust by casually lifting Thor’s hammer like it’s no big deal. The final showdown takes the team to Sokovia, where Ultron has used vibranium to turn an entire chunk of the city into a floating extinction-level weapon. If he can lift it high enough and drop it, humanity is done. So naturally, the Avengers split up to save civilians, battle an endless robot army, rescue Natasha, and stop the apocalypse all at once. Nick Fury even shows up in a Helicarrier because if the sky city is going down, he’s not about to miss it. The battle comes at a cost. Pietro sacrifices himself to save Hawkeye and a child, Wanda unleashes her grief in spectacular fashion, and Hulk ultimately chooses to disappear rather than risk hurting Natasha or anyone else again. In the end, Tony and Thor destroy Sokovia before it can wipe out the planet, and Vision finishes off Ultron for good — or at least as “for good” as these things...

So she takes that wheel and brings it back and replaces her broken wheel with that one. We find out that they're on their way to buy a boardinghouse that she saw was for sale in the papers. They stop for water at a stream where some gold miners are. While Rebecca is getting water, some explosives go off in the distance, scaring the horses. They run off with Sarah still in it. Luckily, a dude named Tom is there. Now there is something you need to know - Tom is hot. He's a rancher and he goes to tell this gold miner Doyal to cut it out with the dynamite and Doyal didn't appreciate it. Tom sees the wheel and is like uh oh, that's not in great shape.

Rebecca is quickly thrown into the fire - she has to help Rachel give birth. It is indeed Ned. She goes out on horseback to look out at the mountains and it is beautiful. This gets her thinking....maybe she should stick around, try to fix the boarding house up. She tells her daughter they're staying and then promptly forces her daughter to go make friends. Doyal ends up showing up and picking a fight with Tom but right as they're about to fight, the new mountie shows up. He tells them to cut it out and Tom is like who are you?
