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.

068: A Merry Little Ex-Mas I Alicia Silverstone & Oliver Hudson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
