このコンテンツについて

Love on the Pod is your go-to podcast for all things cheesy and heartwarming in the world of made-for-TV movies. Hosted by Sherri Adams, Danielle Lenz and Jessica Guzikowski, we dive deep into the delightful universe of Hallmark and other feel-good films, offering honest reviews, behind-the-scenes insights and a whole lot of fun along the way.

Each week, we pick apart some of the most beloved—and sometimes most cringeworthy—movies in the genre. Whether it’s discussing the charm of Savoring Paris, where Bethany Joy Lenz's character, Ella, finds love and a renewed passion for life in a quaint French cheese shop, or analyzing the sweet yet predictable romance in The Professional Bridesmaid, where the protagonist navigates the tricky world of weddings with humor and heart, we bring our unique perspectives and personalities to each review. We don’t just skim the surface; we get into the nitty-gritty of what makes these movies so irresistibly watchable (or sometimes skippable).

Sherri, with her warm and enthusiastic style, has a knack for finding the silver lining in even the cheesiest plot twists. She’s the optimist of the group, always ready to celebrate the charming details that others might overlook. Danielle, on the other hand, brings a witty and sometimes sharply critical eye to our discussions. She’s not afraid to point out the clichés or the moments that just don’t land, but she does it with a sense of humor that keeps the conversation light and engaging. Then there’s Jessica, who balances the two with her thoughtful and honest takes. Her insights often delve into the emotional core of these films, exploring what they say about love, relationships and life’s unexpected turns.

But we’re not just about reviews. On Love on the Pod, we love sharing behind-the-scenes stories and tidbits that give our listeners an inside look at how these movies are made. Whether it’s a fun fact about the filming locations or an interview with someone who worked on the film, we’re all about giving you more than just what you see on screen. And because we believe that watching these movies should be fun, we sprinkle in games and trivia that keep things lively and interactive. Our games are a hit with listeners, whether we’re guessing which Hallmark hunk said that cheesy line or predicting how quickly the leads will fall in love.

At the heart of Love on the Pod is our commitment to honesty. We’re not afraid to share our true feelings, whether we’re swooning over a perfect love story or laughing at a plot that’s gone off the rails. It’s this blend of candidness, humor, and genuine affection for the genre that keeps our listeners coming back episode after episode. If you’re a fan of Hallmark movies or just love indulging in some feel-good fun, join us on Love on the Pod—we promise you’ll leave with a smile.

  • 074: Have We Met This Christmas? I Danica McKellar & Jesse Hutch
    2025/12/24

    Send us a text

    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.

    Danica McKellar stars as Katie, a driven real estate executive who wakes up at a mountain inn after a car accident with no memory of who she is — or why she once swore she’d never speak to innkeeper Emmett again. Enter Jesse Hutch, playing the charming, steady, emotionally mature male lead we all secretly want stranded with us at Christmas. As Katie settles into life at the inn, surrounded by holiday traditions and a warm, close-knit family, she begins to fall for Emmett all over again… unaware that she’s actually the one responsible for the looming sale that could cost the family everything.

    We talk about how this movie leans hard into the amnesia trope and whether it uses it thoughtfully or conveniently, the ethics of letting someone fall in love with you while they don’t remember your complicated past, and why mountain inns continue to be the most emotionally healing real estate in the Hallmark-adjacent universe. We also discuss the themes of second chances, identity, ambition versus belonging and whether love can actually be truer the second time around — especially when memories are missing but feelings aren’t.

    Plus, we get into Jesse Hutch’s quietly effective performance, Danica McKellar’s comfort-movie credibility, and why this one feels like a very specific Great American Family flavor of Christmas storytelling. Is it predictable? Sure. Did we still have feelings about it? Absolutely.

    Pour yourself something cozy, settle in, and join us as we ask the most important question of all: if you forgot everything about your life, would Christmas help you find your way back to the right one?

  • 073: Finding Mr. Christmas - Season 2, Finale
    2025/12/23

    Send us a text

    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 guest, offering guidance, insight and that unmistakable leading-man energy.

    We dig into how each finalist approached the scene, what worked, what surprised us and where we could practically see the Hallmark contract being written in real time. From emotional beats to romantic chemistry to who truly embodied the spirit of a future Hallmark leading man, we unpack it all — including our honest reactions to the judges’ feedback and the overall arc of the season.

    In the end, Craig is crowned the winner of season two, and we talk through why his performance sealed the deal, how his journey unfolded over the course of the competition and what we hope to see next for him in the Hallmark universe. Plus, we reflect on what this season did right, where it stumbled and why Finding Mr. Christmas continues to be such a fascinating love letter to made-for-TV movie fans.

    Grab your hot cocoa, settle in and join us as we say goodbye to another festive season — and hello to the next potential Hallmark heartthrob.

  • 072: A Grand Ole Opry Christmas I Nikki DeLoach & Kristoffer Polaha
    2025/12/16

    Send us a text

    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 story’s time-bending elements allow the characters, and the audience, to sit with grief, curiosity and compassion, offering a rare Hallmark exploration of reflection, regret and understanding rather than simple wish fulfillment.

    We also explore the slow-burn romance between two people who have known each other forever, and what it means to find love later in life with someone whose history is already woven into your own. Their connection isn’t about sparks or grand gestures, but about safety, shared memories and finally seeing each other clearly after years of parallel lives. We discuss how the Grand Ole Opry serves as a meaningful emotional anchor tied to family legacy and unfinished conversations, and why this movie resonates so strongly for viewers navigating loss, second chances and the idea that it’s never too late for love, healing or answers at Christmastime.
