  • 085: Love Afloat I Alanna Smith & Travis Bravo-Thomas

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 questionable plot choices, the chaotic sailing logic, the chemistry (or lack thereof) and the moments that had us asking, “Wait… why is this happening?” Was there anything worth saving in this nautical romance or should this one have stayed docked? Grab a life jacket and come laugh with us as we lovingly roast Love Afloat.

  • 084: Schitt's Creek I Ep. 2 & 3 I The Drip & Don't Worry, It's His Sister

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 characters might actually have hearts of gold. Plus, we’re sharing our favorite quotes, cringiest scenes and the subtle hints of growth that make this comfort show so special.

    Pour yourself something cozy, practice your best Moira pronunciation and join us as we watch the Roses inch closer to figuring out life in Schitt’s Creek

  • 083: The Wrong Valentine I Vivica A. Fox

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 listeners never have to learn the hard way. Plus, we discuss Vivica’s iconic presence and why she continues to reign supreme in the “Wrong” cinematic universe.

    Grab your chocolates (but maybe check who sent them), and join us as we ask: how many warning signs is too many on Valentine’s Day?

  • 082: Schitt's Creek I Pilot I Our Cup Runneth Over

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 impressions, iconic one-liners and the tiny character moments that hint at the heart this series is about to deliver. From Moira’s dramatic vocabulary to David’s sweaters and Alexis’s… well, everything, we’re breaking down what makes this chaotic beginning so lovable and why this show became such a comfort classic.

    So grab a cozy drink, fold in the cheese (you’ll understand soon) and join us as we relive the very start of the Rose family’s unexpectedly beautiful journey.

  • 081: The Way to You I Kim Matula & Aaron O'Connell

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 fate-versus-choice moments, our favorite serendipitous scenes and whether grand romantic gestures still hit the same in a modern love story. Plus, we’re sharing the little details that made this one feel extra magical, the moments that made us sigh (or yell at the TV), and what this movie says about timing, destiny and finding your person in the most unexpected way.

    Grab something warm to drink, settle in and come wander the city of missed connections with us… because sometimes the long way around is exactly the way you’re meant to go.

  • 079: Love on the Amazon I Jaicy Elliot & Rafael de la Fuente

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Love on the Pod, we’re heading deep into the jungle (emotionally and geographically) to discuss Love on the Amazon, starring Jaicy Elliot and Rafael de la Fuente.

    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 to the slow-burn chemistry between our leads, we unpack what makes this one stand out (and where it plays things safely).

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • Jaicy Elliot stepping confidently into leading-lady territory
    • Rafael de la Fuente’s calm, grounded romantic energy
    • How the Amazon setting functions as more than just a backdrop
    • Career vs. connection (a classic Hallmark tug-of-war)
    • Whether this movie leans more adventure romance or intentional love story

    We also discuss how Love on the Amazon fits into Hallmark’s growing lineup of location-forward romances and whether the heart of the story feels earned once the credits roll.

    If you love a romance with big scenery, thoughtful themes and a gentle reminder to listen to what actually matters, this episode (and this movie) might be your next cozy escape.

    You know the drill...suspend your disbelief, vibe cozy and meet us in paradise.

  • 078: Lost in Paradise I Lacey Chabert & Ian Harding

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 duh), character growth and whether this movie leans more dreamy vacation romance or gentle personal reset.

    We also get into:

    • Why this pairing works better than we expected
    • The Hallmark trope check: fish-out-of-water, forced proximity and paradise perspectives
    • Ian Harding’s refreshingly grounded leading-man energy
    • Lacey Chabert doing what she does best: warmth, heart and emotional clarity
    • And the big question… would we stay in paradise or book the next flight home?

    If you’re craving a cozy watch with tropical vibes and a love story that’s more about self-discovery than spectacle, this one’s for you. 

    Grab your favorite drink, suspend your disbelief, and let’s talk Lost in Paradise.

  • 077: Wrapping Up Christmas 2025

    Send us Fan Mail

    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 relationship dynamics we wish had been explored and why a reunion should leave us buzzing — not shrugging.

    Then we get into A Make or Break Holiday, the movie starring the Finding Mr. Christmas winner. We break down whether the casting lived up to the hype, if the movie delivered on holiday magic and where it landed for us on the cozy-to-forgettable spectrum.

    Finally, we each reveal our Top 5 Made-for-TV Holiday Movies, plus a handful of honorable mentions that deserve a little extra love. Expect big feelings, strong opinions and plenty of “wait… YOU put that one where?!”

    If you love festive debates, Hallmark drama (on and off screen) and ranking holiday movies like it’s a competitive sport — this episode is for you.

  • 076: The Christmas Baby I Ali Liebert & Katherine Barrell

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Love on the Pod, we’re diving into The Christmas Baby, starring Ali Liebert and Katherine Barrell — a Hallmark holiday mystery that asks the very important question: what if your entire life pivoted because of a baby at Christmas?

    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. From Ali Liebert doing what she does best (grounded, heartfelt and quietly compelling) to Katherine Barrell bringing warmth and intrigue, we talk through what worked, what confused us and what moments actually surprised us.

    We also dig into the themes of chosen family, identity and how the past has a way of showing up right when you think you’ve moved on — plus whether this one leans more holiday comfort watch or light Christmas mystery with feelings.

    Grab your hot cocoa (or wine), because this one gave us plenty to discuss.
