Love on the Pod
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.

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.
We’re split on this one! Some of us were moved by the heartwarming moments, while others had mixed feelings about the story’s direction. Tune in as we dive into the film’s memorable scenes, unexpected twists, and the ways it resonated with each of us.
