    Welcome to Caffeinated Flicks!

    Celeste and Kenzie are two chicks who love to drink coffee and discuss films by diverse directors. We're starting our holiday movie adventure with a newly iconic, LBGTQ+ holiday classic, Clea DuVall's 'Happiest Season'. We spoke with the phenomenal Chelsey Weber-Smith from American Hysteria about the many ups and downs of 'Happiest Season' (just 'Happiest Season', not 'THE Happiest Season')!


    We fawn over Aubrey Plaza, enjoy every ounce of Dan Levy, and truly wish there was a better romantic plot, all while coming to the conclusion that 'Happiest Season' is actually 'Horror-Movie Set-up!' Take a listen and let us know your take!


    You can find Chelsey Weber-Smith on the podcast ⁠⁠American Hysteria!⁠⁠ Follow American Hysteria on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ and listen wherever you get your podcasts.


    Today's Episode:

    Coffee: Nespresso Pods! Hot Chocolate, and Cookie Cutter Latte.

    Director: Clea DuVall
