Holiday Rom Coms (w/ Tess Sitzmann)

Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Carolina and Devin talk HOLIDAY ROMANTIC COMEDIES, an underrated genre, with the one & only Tess Sitzmann, who famously has platonic male friends. They hit on all of our favorite and not so favorite holiday movies and the romantic relationships within them. Listen to them discuss holiday rom com topics such as wanting to be a Harry, but really being a Sally, the two sides of Hugh Grant, the fat shaming in both Bridget Jones’ Diary and Just Friends, and how painful it is to watch Jude Law be hot. Oh, and Carolina doesn’t NOT cry while talking about The Family Stone. PLUS this episode features a new segment about teen romance movies by Brooklyn’s finest Jessie Kanevsky!
