In the season five finale, our hosts return to an episode formerly lost to the internet ether as they discuss Serendipity (2001) ... again. (And if you're reading this, their second-chance romance had a happy ending!) Special guest Lily has qualms with the main characters' blatant disregard for their romantic commitments — although for fidelity's biggest fan, she would not hesitate to kick Madison to the curb for the coveted position of LAFS cohost #PodsBeforePals. Chelsea thinks it's absurd anyone would run back up the aisle and flee the chapel for the stranger they spent only a few hours with over a decade ago. Madison, on the other hand, would trade her favorite pair of Docs for another chance with that New York-Italian firefighter she met in 2017. Starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, with memorable appearances from John Corbett, Eugine Levy, and Molly Shannon, our hosts and their guest are in for a lively discussion, where somehow, all roads lead to Mothman.

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.
