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.

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.

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.
