SRSLY

This is the last ever SRSLY, and we couldn't go without one final festive special. In this episode, Caroline and Anna celebrate and analyse the 2006 Nancy Meyers Christmas film The Holiday, with some help from friends of the show Simran Hans, Stephanie Boland, India Bourke and Nick Hilton. We discuss the presentation of work, love and home in the film, as well as sharing our favourite/silliest moments.

Anna's 2017 piece on the film: I re-watched The Holiday and I have a lot of questions.
