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.

087: Romance at Hope Ranch I Alison Sweeney & Gabriel Hogan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hope Morgan is ready for a fresh start as she sets out to fulfill her childhood dream of running a ranch in the picturesque town of Ruidoso, New Mexico, all while trying to revive the beloved Giddy Up Gala. This week on Love on the Pod, we’re talking about Romance at Hope Ranch starring Alison Sweeney and Gabriel Hogan… and unfortunately, this one did not win us over.
Join us as we dig into the movie’s missed opportunities, flat moments and why this story never quite came together for us the way we hoped it would. Between the ranch setting, the small-town charm and the promise of a meaningful new chapter, this movie had all the ingredients for something special..but for us, the execution just wasn’t there.
We’re sharing what didn’t work, what frustrated us and whether there was anything at all that managed to save the ride. Saddle up for an honest, probably slightly snarky, conversation about a movie we really wanted to like.
