A Spirited Love Story (Just Like Heaven)
Description
Okay, picture me this: you're a resident-- wait no, now attending-- physician run off her feet and your sister insists you come to dinner at her house for a blind date. On your way, you get in a wreck that leaves you in a coma, but he was going to ghost you anyway. What do you do, but one up him and literally ghost him. Hot girl shit. Anyway, that's the plot of 2005's Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. They only have so long to see if they can bring Elizabeth back from the brink, but she's not the only one trying to come back to life. Listen as our hosts discuss the problems with soulmates, the plot holes of why can the niece see her, and much more.
Tangents include headass comments from Betty Who towards music's final boss lesbian, Renee Rapp and so much more.
As always, thank you and so much love to Good Steph for the intro music and to our perfect social media manager, Marissa.

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 other Wednesday to find out.
