Love on the Pod
Love on the Pod is your go-to podcast for all things cheesy, cozy and heartwarming in the world of made-for-TV movies. Hosted by Sherri Adams and Jessica Guzikowski, we dive deep into the delightful universe of Hallmark and other feel-good films, serving up honest reviews, behind-the-scenes insights and plenty of laughs along the way. Each week, we unpack some of the most beloved - and sometimes most cringeworthy - movies in the genre. From swooning over the charm of Savoring Paris, where Bethany Joy Lenz’s character Ella finds love (and herself) in a quaint French cheese shop, to breaking down the predictable-but-comforting romance of The Professional Bridesmaid, we don’t just skim the surface. We get into what works, what doesn’t, and why we keep coming back for more - even when we know exactly how it’s going to end. Sherri brings a warm, enthusiastic energy to every episode, always ready to celebrate the cozy details, heartfelt moments and silver linings that make these movies so comforting. Jessica balances that optimism with thoughtful, honest takes that dig into the emotional core of each story - what these films say about love, relationships and the beautifully messy realities of life. Together, their dynamic feels like chatting with friends on the couch during a movie marathon. But Love on the Pod isn’t just about reviews. We love sharing behind-the-scenes tidbits, filming fun facts and occasional insider stories that give listeners a deeper appreciation for how these movies come together. We also keep things playful with games and trivia—guessing which Hallmark hunk delivered that iconic cheesy line, predicting how fast the leads will fall in love or debating the tropes we love (and love to hate). At the heart of Love on the Pod is honesty. We’ll swoon when it’s deserved, side-eye a plot twist that makes zero sense and laugh when things go completely off the rails. If you love Hallmark movies, made-for-TV romances or just want a cozy, feel-good podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously, pull up a blanket and join us. We promise you’ll leave with a smile.
Episodes
In this episode, we're talking all about Branching Out, starring Sarah Drew as an architect and single mom on a mission to help her young daughter connect with her roots.

Join us as we dig into the movie’s missed opportunitie...
This week on Love on the Pod, we continue our Schitt’s Creek rewatch with Season 1, Episodes 4 & 5 and the Roses are still very much adjusting to life without private jets and personal assistants.

This week on Love on the Pod, we set sail with Reel One Entertainment’s Love Afloat starring Alanna J. Smith and Travis Bravo-Thomas… and let’s just say the romance did not stay afloat. When Lorelei inherits a rundown sailboat and hires Rob to help her sail it from a Caribbean island to Miami, sparks are supposed to fly...but for us, the movie mostly drifted aimlessly out to sea.
Join us as we break down the question...
This week on Love on the Pod, we’re continuing our trip to Schitt’s Creek with Episodes 2 and 3: “The Drip” and “Don’t Worry, It’s His Sister.” The Roses are settling into motel life… and by settling, we mean spiraling in the most hilarious, slightly unhinged ways possible.
We’re talking leaking ceilings, small-town misunderstandings, unexpected sibling dynamics and the early moments that show these over-the-top char...
On this week’s episode of Love on the Pod, we’re diving headfirst into the drama with Lifetime’s 'The Wrong Valentine' starring the queen herself, Vivica A. Fox.
What starts as sweet Valentine’s Day romance quickly turns into a bouquet of red flags, questionable decisions and the kind of tension only Lifetime can deliver. We break down the wild twists, the over-the-top moments and the lessons we hope our l...
This week on Love on the Pod, we’re heading to a little town you may have heard of… Schitt’s Creek. We’re kicking off our very first mini episode with the pilot, “Our Cup Runneth Over,” where the wildly wealthy Rose family loses everything and finds themselves stuck in a motel in the middle of nowhere; armed with designer luggage, zero practical life skills and truly unmatched facial expressions.
We’re chatting first...
This week on Love on the Pod, we’re diving into The Way to You, the swoony missed-connections romance starring Kim Matula and Aaron O’Connell. When a subway blackout throws two strangers together, Emma and Conrad set out across New York City to help each other track down the people they thought they were meant to find… only to discover that love might be closer than either of them expected.
We’re talking all the cozy...
Happy Valentine’s Day from Love on the Pod!

We talk about what happens when purpose, passion and romance collide in one of Hallmark’s most visually lush settings...and whether the movie delivers on both the love story and the larger message. From conservation themes to cultural respect t...
This week on Love on the Pod, we’re packing our emotional carry-ons and heading somewhere sunny as we dive into Lost in Paradise, starring the queen of cozy herself, Lacey Chabert, and certified charming human, Ian Harding.
In this episode, we break down everything from the escapist setting to the surprisingly thoughtful themes of identity, ambition and what it really means to slow down. We talk chemistry (because du...
This week on Love on the Pod, we’re catching up on all things made-for-TV holiday chaos — from reality TV reunions to brand-new festive films, plus our ultimate Christmas movie rankings.
First up: The Finding Mr. Christmas reunion. We share our honest thoughts on what worked, what definitely didn’t and why it maybe could’ve been an email. We talk about what we wanted more of (hi, Melissa Peterman 👀), the relationshi...

We unpack the twists, the small-town vibes, the slightly chaotic timelines and the emotional weight this movie carries while still wrapping everything up in a cozy Hallmark bow...
On this episode of Love on the Pod, we’re joined by the hosts of Movie Torture to tackle The Unauthorized Full House Story — that somehow thought nostalgia alone would carry it.
Spoiler alert: it did not.
We break down everything that didn’t work — from questionable casting and wildly uneven performances to a script that felt more like a Wikipedia summary than a compelling story. As lifelong fans of Full House, we wan...
This week on Love on the Pod, we’re diving into Have We Met This Christmas, the Great American Family holiday romance starring Danica McKellar and Jesse Hutch. Equal parts cozy, convenient amnesia and emotionally loaded Christmas timing, this movie gives us plenty to unpack.

The journey to finding Mr. Christmas comes to an end as we break down the season two finale of Finding Mr. Christmas. With only three finalists left — Rustin, Craig and Angel — the pressure is fully on as the men face their final challenge: a three-part acting scene opposite the queen of Hallmark herself, Erin Krakow. Adding an extra layer of charm (and nerves) to the moment, Kristoffer Polaha joins as a special gue...
In this episode of Love on the Pod, we dive into A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, starring Nikki DeLoach and Kristoffer Polaha, and unpack the deeply emotional themes that set this movie apart from a standard holiday romance. We talk about how the film centers on the longing to revisit moments with loved ones who are gone, and the quiet ache of wondering why they made the choices they did while they were still here. The ...
In this episode of Love on the Pod, we’re unpacking Finding Mr. Christmas Season 2, Episode 7, an installment that leans fully into heart, vulnerability and what it really means to connect emotionally on screen.

In this episode of Love on the Pod, we’re diving into Finding Mr. Christmas Season 2, Episode 6, where the competition cranks up both the chaos and the chemistry. The guys face off in a hilariously festive, holiday-themed booby trapped obstacle course that feels equal parts Christmas morning and slapstick survival challenge. From unexpected obstacles to pressure-filled moments, this challenge tests not just physical...
