Now entering their yuletide era, our hosts welcome Madison's sister Serena to help usher in the pod's exciting lineup of holiday content with The Holiday (2006)...note that definite article, folks. Between Chelsea's jokes (threats?) to replace Madison with a new cohost, the duo yearns for Kate Winslet's idyllic cottage, argues about Jack Black's unusual venture outside wacky comedies, and attempts to crown this film "the least problematic rom-com." Our resident cynic may start out an aspiring Grinch, but by the time the watchability bells jingle, her heart may just grow three sizes.

About the Show

An examination of classic tropes and iconic characters pits connoisseur against cynic—one romantic comedy at a time. The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it’s been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she’s never wanted to watch. One friend’s passion might be the other’s displeasure, but doesn’t love conquer all? Tune in every Wednesday to find out.
