Silver Screeners

The holiday season has given us many delightful films, but none as delightfully dubious as these.

Plus, behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, interactive, trivia, and listener shout-outs! Music: @fuzzeke

Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant are the sizzle to the bacon of George Cukor's Holiday (1938), while Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, and Jack Black charm each other in the Nancy Meyers-written and directed The Holiday (2006). Return guests Max and Daniel of the Bitches with Beards Podcast join me in bringing on the merry with a look at both films. Plus, poll results, trivia, and listener shout-outs!
