Spend the holidays with Every Rom Com as we get cozy with the 1945 classic: “Christmas in Connecticut.” We’re joined by professor and author Dr. Maria DeBlassie, who lends her insight on what makes this genre (and this film) so special! We also explore the career of Barbara Stanwyck, talk about our favorite Christmas foods, and discuss how this film relates to modern influencer culture! Join us for mismatched babies, double insulation, rocking chair innuendo, and other assorted shenanigans! Everything will be hunky-dunky!Dr. Maria DeBlassie is a native New Mexican mestiza and award-winning writer and educator living in the Land of Enchantment.
