The Family Stone

Happy Holidays to all, and to all a — hey wow, we published an episode; I can scarcely believe it!

We’ve wanted to talk about The Family Stone for as long as we’ve had this platform, so when Elle Riccardi — of Handbook Podcast; Flying Machine’s own Short, Colorful and Loud; and our episode on The Wedding Planner — asked if we’d ever considered covering The Family Stone, we shouted, “OMG, yes!!” so loud that we knocked her off her feet from 1000 or so miles away.

And similarly, on a dozenth-ish viewing, The Family Stone knocked us off our feet, and we step all over ourselves trying to explain our love for this not-completely-unproblematic holiday movie.

Merry Christmas and stuff, from our smug family to yours.
