Episode 204: The BSAs of "The Holiday" (2006)

Published: Dec. 22, 2023, 6 a.m.

b'It\\u2019s a Nancy Meyers Christmas this week as we take on 2006\\u2019s harbinger of the home exchange craze, \\u201cThe Holiday\\u201d! Kate Winslet goes from Bridget Jones to Elizabeth Gilbert thanks to two weeks in LA, a formative friendship with Eli Wallach, and a sort of requisite love interest in Jack Black. Meanwhile Cameron Diaz spirals out in the English countryside till Jude Law shows up with those daughters and goes full Mr Napkinhead. The score by Hans Zimmer shimmers just enough to distract from some questionable chemistry and a lot of uncertainty about that happily ever after.\\n\\nJoin us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bsapod\\n\\nEmail: thebsapod@gmail.com\\nInstagram: @bsapod\\n\\nColin Drucker - Instagram: @colindrucker_\\n\\nNick Kochanov - Instagram: @nickkochanov'
