You're listening to The Beautiful Mess podcast.

This week we're doing a comfort rewatch episode.

For a holiday movie, we love the family stone from 2005.

We're dedicating this episode to Diane Keaton, rest in peace, our queen.

And I'm also sharing at the end an embarrassing story,

Christmas themed, that is actually pretty embarrassing. It's so funny. It's bad. I had to ask

permission to share this one. So that's how, that's the level we're at. It's very funny. I obtained

that permission, though. Okay. So for people who have never seen the family stone, this is an oldie, but a goodie. It's a little bit of, I would put it in the category of an emo Christmas movie. A Christmas movie that makes you cry kind of along the lines of love actually, same or different? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a romantic comedy at its core, and it definitely has a lot of comedy. Yeah. But it definitely has, hits you with the feels here and there. I cried. Yeah. And, oh, yeah. And we'll give also at the end our, our husbands were kind of roasting it. So I'm going to kind of roast parts of it too. Yeah.

So would you prefer to read the premise or just wing it out of your mind?

Hmm.

Hmm.

I guess wing it.

I don't know.

Give it to us, Emma.

Okay.

So this is the love story.

It's a couple that I think is engaged.

No, they're pre-engaged.

Okay. They're pre-yeah, they're pre-engaged. And Everett Stone and then Sarah Jessica Parker is Meredith Morton.

And he's taking her home to his family to meet them for the first time. She's met one sister. He has a pretty big family,

but she hasn't met anyone else. And the sister already doesn't like her. And so she's kind of telling the family, this lady's not cool. We're not going to like her. And his family is, I feel like

what they were going for was that it's kind of what you're saying in your description, where they're ultra-liberal and very chill and like really always in their pajamas, very cozy.
