Just in time for the holidays, we are doing\u00a0The Holiday<\/em>. Nancy Meyers followed-up her smash hit Something\u2019s Gotta Give<\/em> with this story of two women (played by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet) who swap houses over the Christmas week in order to get away from their romantic disasters. Naturally, new love finds a way and in the form of Jude Law and Jack Black. Any initial Oscar hopes for the film were set by Meyers\u2019 last film returning Diane Keaton to the Oscar fold for her fourth decade in a row, but the film was considered a financial disappointment and received a critical drubbing thanks to its silly premise and oddly paired costars.<\/p>\n This episode, we talk about the career of Nancy Meyers and what makes this film such a delight despite its many frustrations. Jude Law also joins our Six Timers Club, but we\u2019ve also got another game around 2006 Christmas cinema. We also discuss Eli Wallach\u2019s charming supporting turn, Kate Winslet\u2019s enthusiasm when she wins something, and the 2006 Best Actress race that saw Helen Mirren steamroll despite a stellar lineup.<\/p>\n Topics also include Danny DeVito drunk on The View, upper butt cinema, and Diva Muffin Zappa.<\/p>\n Follow Us on Twitter!
