    Lindsay Lohan, Kristin Chenoweth & Ian Harding of Our Little Secret

    This week, it’s a party on the podcast because Tommy is joined by Lindsay Lohan, Kristin Chenoweth and Ian Harding, who star in Our Little Secret on Netflix. The movie is about a girl who goes to meet her boyfriend’s family for the very first time over Christmas. But also staying with his family is her ex-boyfriend, who is dating her current boyfriend’s sister. Two exes under one roof for Christmas. As you can imagine, chaos ensues.

Principal Duvall) for this movie, why Ian and Kristin wanted to jump at the opportunity to work with Lindsay, Kristin’s advice on how to play the perfect villain, how Ian felt about playing the quintessential hunky holiday heartthrob, what their relationships are like with grief, how they put one foot in front of the other when grieving, why its important to keep the people around you who bring you true joy, thoughts on a Mean Girls Christmas movie, what they each are manifesting for 2025, and so much more.Subscribe, rate and review this episode if you enjoyed this conversation!
