'Tis the season for family on The Reel Addicts Podcast! As such, Matt brought the first person who came to mind on as a special guest to help he and Jonathan unpack the 2005 Christmas classic, The Family Stone: His Mom.


Fresh off her fantastic Moonstruck episode earlier this year, Matt's Mom, Diane Warren, brings the matriarchal perspective needed to better understand what makes this film so wonderful. Nothing is safe or sacred as family, romance, sibling struggles, parental roles, and bringing home the new significant other for the holidays are all thrown under the microscope.


If you like to laugh and listen to others laugh, this is the one for you. Happy Holidays to all and thanks for listening!


*As of release, The Family Stone is available to stream for free with subscriptions to either Hulu or Amazon Prime.


Written and Directed by Thomas Bezucha


Starring Diane Keaton, Dermot Mulroney, Rachel McAdams, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, Elizabeth Reaser, Tyrone Giordano, Brian White, Paul Schneider
