#188 – Hulu’s Happiest Season | Directed by Clea DuVall (with Dustin Holden of Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap)

Tune in as Christmas wraps up on the podcast for this fourth week of December! Dustin Holden (Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap) hops back onto the program to discuss Happiest Season, the 2020 Hulu rom-com that follows lesbian couple Abby and Harper as they make sudden plans to visit Harper’s family for Christmas—a plan that veers off-course when it’s revealed that she had never come out to her relatives. The heights of celebrity women like Elizabeth Debicki, tips on white elephant gifting, and reading Harper’s sister Jane as neurodivergent comprise a few of the talking points for this episode.

Directed by Clea DuVall, Happiest Season stars Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Dan Levy, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Holland, Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Alison Brie, Ana Gasteyer, Jake McDorman, Sarayu Blue, Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme, Anis N’Dobe, Asiyih N’Dobe, Timothy Simons, Lauren Lapkus, Caroline Harris, Jenny Gulley, and Dominique Allen Lawson.
