Hallmark Left Peacock, but I Found a Cool Replacement for Fans. And It's Free
Have you heard the news? The three-year programming deal between Hallmark and Peacock has officially ended, meaning the studio's collection of small-town romances and holiday movies can no longer be viewed on NBC's streaming platform. Wipe that tear from your eye, friend. I've got a solution and it's absolutely free. Allow me to introduce you to Hoopla, a digital entertainment app that has a packed content slate of everything from audiobooks, podcasts and movies to TV shows, music and classes. You can thank your local public library for this cost-free treasure trove. This brings me back to Hallmark. The channel's entire programming collection can be found here; it's available through the platform's Hallmark Plus BingePass. With this feature, you can borrow premium content for seven days. Get ready to binge all the festive love stories your heart can take. This is the perfect way to catch up if you're behind on hit shows like Ride and When Calls the Heart. It's all ad-free with just a click of a button. Read more: 13 Hit Movies You Really Should Add to Your Peacock Watch List First, you'll need to sign up for the Hallmark Plus BingePass on Hoopla is a valid library card and email address. Go to the Hoopla website (or download the mobile app) and follow the steps to sign up. Keep your library card on hand because you may be asked for your card number and PIN. You can sign up for one if you don't have a library card. Once you complete the setup process for your Hoopla account, you'll be able to start streaming. From there, pick the Hallmark Plus BingePass option from the BingePass prompt to watch. Not all libraries support Hoopla, so I recommend checking with your local branch to see if the service is available. If you'd rather not rely on the library to scratch that feel-good movie itch, you can try Pluto TV and watch its curated channel that is devoted to all things Hallmark. Want the entire library and don't mind paying? You can always sign up for Hallmark Plus — the channel's exclusive streaming platform — for $8 a month or $80 a year. A paid subscription gets you access to Hallmark's content library along with all-new exclusive original series and movies. Extra perks, as listed on the Hallmark Plus website, include a Hallmark Gold Crown Store coupon, Crown Rewards points, unlimited eCards and exclusive surprises.

Overcompensating's Benito Skinner & Mary Beth Barone Play Celebrity Guess Who
Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone are riding for Celebrity Guess Who. You might know the comics as longtime BFFs and co-hosts of the popular podcast Ride. Recently, though, they took their partnership to the next level, co-starring in the hit new Prime Video comedy Overcompensating. The series, which just dropped in full on the streamer, stars Benito as Benny, a closeted former homecoming king who is struggling to come to terms with his identity while away at college. Mary Beth plays Benny's older (and not always supportive) sister Grace who attends the same school. To celebrate the series, the two comedy icons stopped by to play "Celebrity Guess Who." Whether it was determining if Megan Fox would ever breed snakes or where exactly they had a meal with Connie Britton, they revealed themselves to be just as competitive as they are hilarious. Plus, they kissed for good measure. So watch the video below: And stream Overcompensating on Prime Video now!
