In the season finale of Love at First Screening, Madison reluctantly introduces Chelsea to When Harry Met Sally (1989). Featuring an unprecedented number of food-related tangents (pickles, grapes, soup, etc.), are our cohosts avoiding an inevitable ending (to their friendship)? Or are they just hungry? Chelsea may lament the fact that Sally ever met Harry, but listeners will thank whatever deity they believe in that 19-year-old Madison met a redhead with credentials. In between a couple of passionate movie monologues performed by Madison, the duo tackles toxic rhetoric surrounding romantic relationships, the gender binary, and the unfortunate regression of menswear.

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.
