In this highly introspective episode, our cohosts welcome poet Amanda Kathryn to the studio to discuss Always Be My Maybe (2019). Madison says she'd swipe right on Keanu Reeves, and Chelsea raises a glass to all her fellow "bitter bitches" out there. Together they analyze the hazy intersection between passion and career, determine where to find the best french fries (or tater tots), and give a standing ovation to Randall Park and Ali Wong's childhood friends-to-lovers comedy.

About the Show
An examination of classic tropes and iconic characters pits connoisseur against cynic—one romantic comedy at a time. The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it’s been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she’s never wanted to watch. One friend’s passion might be the other’s displeasure, but doesn’t love conquer all? Tune in every Wednesday to find out.
