“Nora Roberts watched four episodes of The Wire and wrote this.” 

This week, Molly and her friend Lindsey Weber cover Northern Lights, the 2009 made-for-TV film based on the book by Nora Roberts.

The pair discuss the murder mystery/love story that takes place in Lunacy, Alaska – everything from the top-notch casting decisions (this is, after all, the film that brought together LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian) and the amazing graphic effects to the dramatics that can only happen in a small, remote town.

“I was so hungry transcribing this movie.” 

Molly and her guest Alison Rosen step back into the 90s and watch A Secret Between Friends, a Moment of Truth movie. You can find this one on YouTube, but don’t read the IMBD description if you don’t want a spoiler!

With its star-studded cast (Linda Carter, Josh Taylor, and hello, a young Ryan Reynolds!), typical teen shopping montage, and a BFF journey that toes the line between friendship and infatuation, this flick is definitely filed under the classic Lifetime movie category. Cross our hearts and kiss our elbows!
