Czech Hunter (feat. Ira Madison III)

About this episode

If you want to do The Holidays with Fran & Rose, you need three things: a hot butterbeer from the The Three Broomsticks at Universal Studios, Kelly Clarkson’s When Christmas Comes Around…, and the 2006 romcom Last Holiday, wherein Queen Latifah invents self care. This episode has all three and more. Ira Madison III is on the show to help explain why a movie with a plot that hinges on the results of a CT scan taken at a department store is a holiday season must-watch. Tangents include: working and quitting retail, Kohl’s Cash, Fran’s stint as a missionary in the Czech Republic, and what the fuck happened to Ira’s 401K.

Plus, the latest in kinda-queer-but-mostly-heterosexual television: Fran & Rose’s highly anticipated thoughts on And Just Like That and 12 Dates of Christmas. And an ode to iconic homoerotic vampire writer Ann Rice.
