In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the festive chaos of Netflix’s new holiday film Merry Little Ex-Mas, starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson. What starts as a well-intentioned attempt to recreate the magic of Christmases past quickly unravels when a long-separated couple tries to navigate the holidays under one roof—along with the husband’s very present new girlfriend. The result is a cozy, comedic, slightly chaotic story about old patterns, new boundaries and what happens when Christmas nostalgia meets very real emotional baggage.

We break down the performances, the chemistry and the moments that made us gasp, laugh and yell at the screen in true Love on the Pod fashion. From complicated co-parenting to unexpected holiday romance, we explore why this movie works, where it surprises and how its themes land in real life. Pour a cup of something warm, settle in and join us as we unpack all the mistletoe-level tension and second-chance sweetness that Merry Little Ex-Mas brings to the season.
