In this episode, we're talking all about Branching Out, starring Sarah Drew as an architect and single mom on a mission to help her young daughter connect with her roots. Through a surprising journey, they seek out her biological father, played by Juan Pablo di Pace—a musician who never knew he had a daughter. As they navigate the unexpected and emotional path to family, the story beautifully explores themes of identity, belonging, and the bonds that grow in unlikely places.

This week on Love on the Pod, we continue our Schitt’s Creek rewatch with Season 1, Episodes 6 & 7 and the Rose family is slowly (very slowly) starting to show signs of growth… though they’re still delightfully out of touch with reality.

Moira takes a job at the town winery and attempts the impossible: being polite to Jocelyn. Alexis continues her romance with Ted (with very mixed levels of enthusiasm) and David finds himself on the town’s annual turkey hunt—which is exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.

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.

This week on Love on the Pod, we continue our Schitt’s Creek rewatch with Season 1, Episodes 4 & 5 and the Roses are still very much adjusting to life without private jets and personal assistants.

Johnny tries to revive his business instincts, Moira struggles with the realities of small-town living (and small-town wardrobes), Alexis begins navigating romance in a place where everyone knows your business and David continues his ongoing quest to survive rural life with his dignity intact.

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 mo...

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...

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 su...

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 deliv...

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.

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.

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?

From Ali Liebert doing what she does best (grounded, heartfelt and quietly compelling) to Katherine Barrell bringing warmth and intrigue, we talk...

On this episode of Love on the Pod, we’re joined by the hosts of Movie Torture to tackle The Unauthorized Full House Story — that somehow thought nostalgia alone would carry it.

Spoiler alert: it did not.

We break down everything that didn’t work — from questionable casting and wildly uneven performances to a script that felt more like a Wikipedia summary than a compelling story. As lifelong fans of Full House, we wanted to love this… but instead found ourselves asking who this movie was actually made for.

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.

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.

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.

The Festive Faceoff sends the men barreling across the lawn inside giant inflatable balls, knocking over Christmas trees with the kind of chaotic enthusiasm usually reserved for mall Santas on Black Friday.
