I couldn't agree more! I watch it EVERYTIME it comes on the TV and every year for the holidays. All of Kate Winslet's lines are wholesome and life changing in this. I was also appalled that this movie isn't rated higher!
I am shocked!!! That you didnt mention the scene where jude law literally said to her “youre the most interesting woman ive ever met” because she said foreplay was overrated 😭 u telling me we are encouraging people to f*ck us dry??!?!
Solidarity with Kelsey fighting for her life defending this movie for the girls. She's like the mom in the SNL sensitive well toy skit. "It's not for you! Everything is for you! This one movie is for us!"
haven't started the episode yet but I agree 100% with the title. I firmly believe, in my heart of hearts, that Jack Black is a top notch lover. A man that shameless has nothing to lose.
When they say that Amanda (Cameron Diaz) lost her masculine energy after she arrived in England I immediately thought, well that's because that was her mask. She is introduced as someone who is very high-strung. Graham (Jude Law) complemented her true self and allowed her to feel safe enough to drop that mask, unlike her ex who made her feel insecure in their relationship (rightly so because he was cheating on her). Women who climb the ladder in male-dominated fields have to keep up the boss bitch persona, and it's incredibly hard to drop when you bring home your work (she had an in-home studio). It may seem strange to those who never have to experience it, but I think Nancy Meyer's knew exactly what she was doing even if the pacing made it seem off.
Watching this and hearing Kelsey speak on how women can be different kinds of lovers makes me really want to hear their insight on “He’s Just Not That Into You”
FUN FACT: Dustin Hoffman wasn’t asked to be in the film. He was in the area and approached the set when he saw them filming and at that point he agreed to be in the scene.
Zach and Garrick going off about Kate winglet had me dying and it’s EXACTLY how I felt about her character in this movie. 😭😭😭 Edit: I need a full transcript of what they said it’s too hilarious
I am glad you mentioned veteran actor Eli Wallach as Arthur. He is so good. Arthur helped Iris become the "leading lady" in her own life and that enabled her to become friends with Myles and cut ties with Jasper. The Holiday is one of my all time favorite movies and I watch it every year!
When Zach said that the kids weren't the cutest. OMG the scenes with the kids are my fav! "You don't like tents?" And "berry kiss it is"????? Are you serious Zach? What happened to you?
Honestly so happy that you guys agree! When I watched this movie for the first time I absolutely loved Miles(Jack Black) and Iris's (Kate Winslet) chemistry in the movie. It seemed more like a realistic relationship than Amanda(Cameron Diaz) and Graham(Jude Law). Plus Miles just seemed like such a fun and amazing boyfriend and Jack Black did a great job of showing that.
I saw this in theaters and remember being delighted by Jack Black as a love interest and the surprise Hanukkah scene with a Hollywood legend. 10/10 recommend just for the holiday feel-goodness.
This movie has wonderful hidden gems that homage old Hollywood through the scriptwriter character. He explains what a "meet cute" is to Winslet, and the example is from "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" directed by Ernst Lubitsch, who made amazing rom coms back in the 40s. That movie was written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, the latter helped do rewrites for Casablanca, so he probably came up with some epic lines in the realm of adding "kid" to "Here's looking at you kid" which Winslet says Arthur did.
27:48 fun fact! the Dustin Hoffman scene wasn’t planned at all. He drove past the video store where they were filming in LA and decided to just walk on the set to see what was being filmed, and they came up with the scene on the spot.
Yes yes YESSSS Miles all the way! Graham is lovely but he doesn’t make you root for him the way Miles does, he’s so sweet and funny and he also understands the pain of heartbreak the way Iris does. They deserve wayyy more screen time in the movie 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Kate and Jack are the heart and soul of the movie. Their connection is sweet and authentic… the blond pair is Hollywood fantasy. They are called the A-couple but Winslet and Black are the A-couple to me.
I ducking love this movie! Also, I love the fact that both of the actors who play the lovers that scorn Jack Black and Kate Winslet are in A Knight's Tale. It's such a feel good movie. I don't care how realistic it is.
I’ve watched The Holiday an uncomfortable amount of times. No regrets. Jude is at peak hotness, he’s a snack. Also this was before AirBnB, I wonder if this movie inspired it 😂. Like who really just lets a stranger babysit their dog and drive their car? We were so much more innocent back then. Also Imogen Heap. Need I say more? This movie is EVERYTHING
I love this. I love them. But when Miles said that movie trailer editors make a median of $400k a year and they all said that's an "okay" amount of money..... my broke ass heart was like *oof*
I adore this movie!!! I was so excited to see this pop up. And I’m just starting the video, but I’m absolutely in agreement with the title. I’m usually the first to fall for an English accent, but I adored Miles and Jack Black’s portrayal of him. Especially the subtle fist pump towards the end…ugh, so good!!!! And Arthur is the hero of the movie. You’ll never convince me otherwise. 💕
Jude Laws character does say in the movie that he gets help from the grandparents. A thing that is confusing is that the girls, Olivia and Sophie, switched names in the ending
I gotta say, as an Asian kid (afab) with overprotective parents, I would never have been allowed to travel by myself and find a vacation boyfriend 🤣 and growing up I definitely resonate with Garrick LMAOOO I was the one shooting my shot and getting shut down 😭 so it's always nice to hear when other people actually had romances growing up lmao
As a usual spotify listener, I feel like I'm going to comment all of my usual talk back to the podcast in my car thoughts. I love this podcast and it brings me moments of happiness like a chocolate chip cookie does, but without the remorse. Dare I say the Guilty Pleasures podcast is purely a pleasure?
I feel like they all missed the part where Cameron's character said (during the get to know you dinner) that she's the owner of this movie trailer production company.
Wait, so do ya'll not know the story behind the Dustin Hoffman cameo? He happened to pass by the set during the filming of that scene and one of the cast or crew who knew him said hi and was like "yo, Dustin, do you feel like doing a quick funny cameo?" and he said yes. it was not planned.
Honestly I agree with the title! This might be my favorite jack black performance because he’s so sweet and enduring and I actually believe the Kate and jack storyline
loved this movie the first time I watched it when it was released. never gets old and I always watch it whenever it's on or when I'm just trying to search for something to watch while I do housework.
I haven’t even watched the episode yet but man I LOVE THIS MOVIE. My favorite Christmas movie by far. Been watching it every year since I was in 6th grade and it never gets old
Its that time of year again! This episode is just as spectacular on the rewatched hahahaha one of my favourite moments is when Zak and Garrick pop off about Jasper 😂😂😂😂 maaaaan f*ck Jasper.
Totally relate to Kelsey's summer romance with a European. Met a German in Australia, got my first kiss in the pouring rain on a rainforest island, blah blah. He didn't cheat on me but he did end up being horribly abusive... You win some you lose some! The Holiday is still one of my favorites, though.
Thank you. This is my favourite. When I was lonely I watched it in bed surrounded by food and booze like that one scene with Cameron. Now I watch with my husband who admits it’s pretty good but his favourite part is watching me love it 🥰
I haven’t watched this episode yet but I’m already screaming YES JACK BLACK IS THE REASON I WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!! so funny, warm, and charming. Been crushing on him ever since. Kate Winslets is brilliant, her story line is so great and the chemistry with JB is awesome. Fuckin Jasper. It’s a long movie and I’m not into Xmas too much but this movie won me over. So excited to watch this episode 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Also YES I mean I'm not even from New York or LA (I've lived in North Carolina, Ireland, Iowa, DC, and Washington State, not exactly peak actor territory) and I know SEVERAL people with Bill Murray stories. 😀
It’s funny that Garrick mentioned Bridget Jones’s Diary, because The Wombats have a song called “Kill the Director” where they talk about this film and they literally say “This is no Bridget Jones”
In this interview Jude Law talks about The Holiday and why he was so tanned; th-cam.com/video/dBxy0X53kyw/w-d-xo.html Turns out they filmed all the exterior shots in the UK, but then later filmed all the interiors in LA, and Jude waited for 5 weeks before he was scheduled to shoot and got very tan in the meantime!
I found it interesting that 2 little girls of that age each had their own named cell phone accounts lol. Other than that, the whole movie was a pleasure, through and through.
The only reason I even knew that Sherman Oaks was a neighborhood/area in LA is because Rami Malek mentioned that he grew up in Sherman Oaks in so many of his interviews for Bohemian Rhapsody. (Sorry for the random thought I felt the need to voice lol)
This is hands down the best holiday movie idk what I said before but my anger is back
YOU ARE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT
I couldn't agree more! I watch it EVERYTIME it comes on the TV and every year for the holidays. All of Kate Winslet's lines are wholesome and life changing in this. I was also appalled that this movie isn't rated higher!
I am shocked!!! That you didnt mention the scene where jude law literally said to her “youre the most interesting woman ive ever met” because she said foreplay was overrated 😭 u telling me we are encouraging people to f*ck us dry??!?!
I watch this movie multiple times a year 😂
I watch this one every year. It didn't start as a tradition, but it is now. My fave.
Solidarity with Kelsey fighting for her life defending this movie for the girls. She's like the mom in the SNL sensitive well toy skit. "It's not for you! Everything is for you! This one movie is for us!"
😻 YES!!!
That is an extremely niche reference and I thank you for it lol
haven't started the episode yet but I agree 100% with the title. I firmly believe, in my heart of hearts, that Jack Black is a top notch lover. A man that shameless has nothing to lose.
Right there with ya, bud! Jack black for the win
I wholeheartedly agree that Jack Black, in this movie, is EVERYTHING.
Literally same
“I’m bisexual and busy” - Kelsey Darragh my new anthem honestly
Jude Law being the brother was never a surprise plot twist, when he knocks on the door in the beginning he says that he’s Iris’s brother!
Ok THANK YOU I was just about to say that he explains he is her "semi-respectable big brother" lmao
When they say that Amanda (Cameron Diaz) lost her masculine energy after she arrived in England I immediately thought, well that's because that was her mask. She is introduced as someone who is very high-strung. Graham (Jude Law) complemented her true self and allowed her to feel safe enough to drop that mask, unlike her ex who made her feel insecure in their relationship (rightly so because he was cheating on her).

It may seem strange to those who never have to experience it, but I think Nancy Meyer's knew exactly what she was doing even if the pacing made it seem off.
hearing Miles laugh in the background of the podcasts is my favorite thing
Saaame
Watching this and hearing Kelsey speak on how women can be different kinds of lovers makes me really want to hear their insight on “He’s Just Not That Into You”
FUN FACT: Dustin Hoffman wasn’t asked to be in the film. He was in the area and approached the set when he saw them filming and at that point he agreed to be in the scene.
First off! Thank you Kelsey for defending this movie!!! Second, hands down my fave episode so far. Thirdly, Jack Black is the goat of this movie.
ANYTIME 💖💖
Yes! This movie is just SO good.
I’m dead at Zach and Garrick going off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Zach and Garrick going off about Kate winglet had me dying and it’s EXACTLY how I felt about her character in this movie. 😭😭😭
Edit: I need a full transcript of what they said it’s too hilarious
Wait what happens when you turn on subtitles 😂 "gibberish"
13:35 seeing the boys riled up is exactly the energy needed to love this movie
I am glad you mentioned veteran actor Eli Wallach as Arthur. He is so good. Arthur helped Iris become the "leading lady" in her own life and that enabled her to become friends with Myles and cut ties with Jasper.
The Holiday is one of my all time favorite movies and I watch it every year!
Kelsey: Have you ever fallen in love in another country?
Zach: Not successfully. 😂
When Zach said that the kids weren't the cutest. OMG the scenes with the kids are my fav! "You don't like tents?" And "berry kiss it is"????? Are you serious Zach? What happened to you?
Honestly so happy that you guys agree! When I watched this movie for the first time I absolutely loved Miles(Jack Black) and Iris's (Kate Winslet) chemistry in the movie.

This is NOT a guilty pleasure. This is just a pleasure. I make people watch this movie year round dang it. And everyone loves it.
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies! My mom and I watch it every year, along with Love Actually
Oh I've found my twin!! These two are my musts during Holiday season, glad to see you and your mom enjoy them too 😊
I saw this in theaters and remember being delighted by Jack Black as a love interest and the surprise Hanukkah scene with a Hollywood legend. 10/10 recommend just for the holiday feel-goodness.

If I remember, he's friends with the director, saw her, and stopped to chat
They literally say this
Yes yes YESSSS Miles all the way! Graham is lovely but he doesn’t make you root for him the way Miles does, he’s so sweet and funny and he also understands the pain of heartbreak the way Iris does. They deserve wayyy more screen time in the movie 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
YES! Kelsey! thank you! I've been sating this for ever! The Holiday is a freaking great Christmas movie! Finished watching. Today, I was Kelsey.
Jack Black’s hotness is truly underrated.
genuine raw sex appeal
Absolutely!!!
Kate and Jack are the heart and soul of the movie. Their connection is sweet and authentic… the blond pair is Hollywood fantasy. They are called the A-couple but Winslet and Black are the A-couple to me.
SCREAMING this is my comfort film. 😭😭😭 so happy. Full pleasure.
I ducking love this movie! Also, I love the fact that both of the actors who play the lovers that scorn Jack Black and Kate Winslet are in A Knight's Tale. It's such a feel good movie. I don't care how realistic it is.

How could you talk about him walking in to the standing ovation Zach. I just teared up at my bloody desk over that memory.
I love this. I love them. But when Miles said that movie trailer editors make a median of $400k a year and they all said that's an "okay" amount of money..... my broke ass heart was like *oof*
Ummm literally just rewatched The Holiday yesterday while I put up my Christmas tree...it's like my body and mind knew and prepped for this episode.
Me too, it is a bit cheesy but also so nice movie🥰
WE WERE BORN READY
Guilty Pleasures is BY FAR the best podcast of all the stuff the try guys push out. I'm obsessed with Kelsey and I laugh so hard every single podcast.
I adore this movie!!! I was so excited to see this pop up.
And I’m just starting the video, but I’m absolutely in agreement with the title. I’m usually the first to fall for an English accent, but I adored Miles and Jack Black’s portrayal of him. Especially the subtle fist pump towards the end…ugh, so good!!!!
And Arthur is the hero of the movie. You’ll never convince me otherwise. 💕
Jude Laws character does say in the movie that he gets help from the grandparents. A thing that is confusing is that the girls, Olivia and Sophie, switched names in the ending
13:45 is the kind of energy I need going into the work week lol thx y'all ~
I love how Kelsey keeps saying “across the country” even though it’s literally across the world. 😂
I gotta say, as an Asian kid (afab) with overprotective parents, I would never have been allowed to travel by myself and find a vacation boyfriend 🤣 and growing up I definitely resonate with Garrick LMAOOO I was the one shooting my shot and getting shut down 😭 so it's always nice to hear when other people actually had romances growing up lmao
If you combined Jack Black's Myles and Dewey Finn it would create the most perfect, unreal, amazing man. The absolute dream boat.
I literally watched this movie in preparation for this podcast and I adore it :) Your podcast is already so good.
As a usual spotify listener, I feel like I'm going to comment all of my usual talk back to the podcast in my car thoughts. I love this podcast and it brings me moments of happiness like a chocolate chip cookie does, but without the remorse. Dare I say the Guilty Pleasures podcast is purely a pleasure?
I feel like they all missed the part where Cameron's character said (during the get to know you dinner) that she's the owner of this movie trailer production company.
Garrick getting so riled up that the headphones fell off😭😭😭 I’m on the floor
This movie is a PLEASURE! And this podcast has inspired me to go watch it again soon
Yes! Kelsey is so on point esp regarding the unpacking on vacation thing.
"Even the wind had a character of love...."
Too perfect! Yes!
Kelsey looks INCREDIBLE. Still can't get over how transformational her haircut was! Love it!!!
Zach, is such a gentleman. The way he "Queened" Kelsey. Respect!
Wait, so do ya'll not know the story behind the Dustin Hoffman cameo? He happened to pass by the set during the filming of that scene and one of the cast or crew who knew him said hi and was like "yo, Dustin, do you feel like doing a quick funny cameo?" and he said yes. it was not planned.
Fiiiiiinally I get some validation!!! I watch this movie actually several times a year, it's just so comforting. Love it.
This is hands down the best movie discussion podcast. I fucking relate to how passionate and loud they get
13:45 SO MUCH CHAOS 🤣
Honestly I agree with the title! This might be my favorite jack black performance because he’s so sweet and enduring and I actually believe the Kate and jack storyline
loved this movie the first time I watched it when it was released. never gets old and I always watch it whenever it's on or when I'm just trying to search for something to watch while I do housework.
This movie is my absolute favorite movie to watch during the holidays. My mom and I will watch it at least 2 times during the holidays💕
I FEEL SO VALIDATED. Jack Black in this movie was an awakening for me!! No one in my life agrees ahahah!
This is one of my favorite holiday movies!!! I always watch this and The Last Holiday with Queen Latifah one right after the other!
The Music in The Holiday, Hans Zimmer 👌🏻 Beautiful
It's been about a year since I've seen this movie so I legit paused this podcast 20 minutes in to go rewatch it and now I'm back
OMG!!! I clicked so fast and audibly squealed LOL LOVE this movie!
Everytime I watch Guilty Pleasures, I want Garrick’s approval 😂
"They were fed well." That got me!
I just love this episode. Nice hair, Kelsey. 💯💯💯
I haven’t even watched the episode yet but man I LOVE THIS MOVIE. My favorite Christmas movie by far. Been watching it every year since I was in 6th grade and it never gets old
The Holiday has been a family fave for years! Just in general! We watch it all the time!
For the first time i had the reaction: "EXCUSE ME, HOW DARE YOU THIS MOVIE IS ADORABLE!" before actually watching this ep 🤣
Its that time of year again! This episode is just as spectacular on the rewatched hahahaha one of my favourite moments is when Zak and Garrick pop off about Jasper 😂😂😂😂 maaaaan f*ck Jasper.
Totally relate to Kelsey's summer romance with a European. Met a German in Australia, got my first kiss in the pouring rain on a rainforest island, blah blah. He didn't cheat on me but he did end up being horribly abusive... You win some you lose some!
The Holiday is still one of my favorites, though.
I love you guys so much for posting these episodes on Monday mornings 😅
0:24 you realize how impossible it is to ask a Puerto Rican to not think about Christmas once September/October comes
Thank you. This is my favourite. When I was lonely I watched it in bed surrounded by food and booze like that one scene with Cameron. Now I watch with my husband who admits it’s pretty good but his favourite part is watching me love it 🥰
Zach’s British Accent OMG I CAN’T - 😂
I haven’t watched this episode yet but I’m already screaming YES JACK BLACK IS THE REASON I WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!! so funny, warm, and charming. Been crushing on him ever since. Kate Winslets is brilliant, her story line is so great and the chemistry with JB is awesome. Fuckin Jasper. It’s a long movie and I’m not into Xmas too much but this movie won me over. So excited to watch this episode 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I just watched it again for the thousandth time and I love him so much in this movie he makes me cry now lol
this is a movie i always forget about but love immensely
also garrick and zach are wrong about holiday decorations bc fuck thanksgiving
Pure pleasure. One of my absolute favorite movies.
Shannyn Sossamon was in Moonlight (2008), it's a vampire show that's one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures.
The Holiday is set in the Cotswolds! (Up from London, think Oxford)
Everyone has the exact right type of energy in this episode
Those kids were SO adorable! the hell zach?
Love this movie. It's too notch!
Some of my faves that you should do for this podcast: The Fifth Element, Clue, and Catch and Release
This is a great movie. Not my FAV Christmas movie, but the fact my husband enjoys watching it with me, that’s a bonus
I'm with Kelsey. For some reason, I have this movie on DVD. 😂
Also YES I mean I'm not even from New York or LA (I've lived in North Carolina, Ireland, Iowa, DC, and Washington State, not exactly peak actor territory) and I know SEVERAL people with Bill Murray stories. 😀
It’s funny that Garrick mentioned Bridget Jones’s Diary, because The Wombats have a song called “Kill the Director” where they talk about this film and they literally say “This is no Bridget Jones”
Ok so I think we can all agree that Nancy Meyers makes decent and watchable Romcoms. I can get guys to watch and love her movies. I just love her…
The podcast Blank Check goes through all her movies and it’s delightful.
“I’m bisexual & busy” is officially housewife tagline. 😂😂
YESSSSSS this is my absolute favourite movie! This is the episode I didn't know I was waiting for! 💛💛💛💛
In this interview Jude Law talks about The Holiday and why he was so tanned; th-cam.com/video/dBxy0X53kyw/w-d-xo.html
Turns out they filmed all the exterior shots in the UK, but then later filmed all the interiors in LA, and Jude waited for 5 weeks before he was scheduled to shoot and got very tan in the meantime!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!! I'm with Kelsey on this one!
I found it interesting that 2 little girls of that age each had their own named cell phone accounts lol. Other than that, the whole movie was a pleasure, through and through.
lol in the Philippines Christmas decorations is up first week of September 😂 once the "Ber months" start rolling in, it's Christmas time
Me: *sees title*
Me: I ALWAYS SAY THIS!!
saw the trailer and im intrigued. gotta go watch that and then come back here later
The only reason I even knew that Sherman Oaks was a neighborhood/area in LA is because Rami Malek mentioned that he grew up in Sherman Oaks in so many of his interviews for Bohemian Rhapsody. (Sorry for the random thought I felt the need to voice lol)
Garrick saying the LA house is a fast and furious house 🤣🤣🤣
I forgot that she was in A Knight’s Tale so was the guy who plays Jasper
My favorite winter movie! (Doesn't have to be Christmas for me to watch it lol)
Love that Garrick mentioned its complicated
Half of my family is from the Philippines. Christmas celebrations start there in Sept 🤦😂
idk but i just need to say miss kelsey girl your type of vacation was EXTREMELY relatable to me /:
I'm busting in a week late to let everyone know that Jack Black is hot af in general, not just in this perfect example of romcom 😌
