THE HOLIDAY: How Nancy Meyers' Tale of Aspirational House Swapping Became a Christmas Classic

Welcome back to another season of Hollywood Gold! Writer/director/producer Nancy Meyers joins us to discuss her cozy holiday classic, The Holiday. Masterfully shifting between sunny LA and the charming countryside of England, she discusses how the dual storylines made the crew feel like they were creating two different movies. With a focus on crafting female characters with "gumption," Nancy ensured that stars Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet not only represented modern womanhood, but also found perfect love interests in Jude Law and Jack Black, who shine as worthy partners. This lighthearted romantic comedy transformed into a holiday phenomenon, warming hearts across the world and becoming a must-watch holiday tradition nearly two decades later. Hosted on Acast.

C'est un concept auquel presque personne n'adhérait il y a dix ans. Mais patience est mère de toutes les vertus, et visiblement patience est aussi mère de croissance. Le troc de maisons a désormais le vent en poupe. Le principe est simple, il s'agit d'échanger son logement avec des inconnus, sans la moindre transaction financière, et donc de s'offrir des vacances pour pas cher.Le leader du secteur est une plateforme française, HomeExchange, présente dans 155 pays et particulièrement prisée en France : le site y revendique plus de 100 000 membres, un chiffre en constante hausse ces dernières années. Cette forte croissance a permis à HomeExchange d'atteindre 30 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires, fin 2024.Comment fonctionne ce système d'échange non marchand ? Est-ce sécurisé et accessible à tout le monde, même aux locataires ? Enfin, comment expliquer son récent succès ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », la journaliste Jessica Gourdon, spécialiste des questions de tourisme au Monde, explique les raisons d'un tel essor.Un épisode produit et présenté par Claire Leys.

Ready for a holiday watch that actually holds up? We close the year with Jackie and Danielle from No More Late Fees and dig into why Nancy Meyers' The Holiday still hits. It's a rom-com where self-respect is the twist, friendship is the anchor, and charisma beats swagger every time. We trade Blockbuster memories for sharp analysis then get into what really matters: characters that feel real and show major growth.Is Iris and Arthur's bond the film's best relationship? When he tells her to stop acting like the best friend and be the leading lady, it sets the standard for us all! We unpack the hard pivot from pining to gumption, the realism of saying no to Jasper, and the quiet win of choosing yourself. On the other side, we explore why Jack Black's Miles works as a romantic lead: attention as attraction, care as chemistry, and a story that never turns his looks into a punchline. Jude Law's Graham gets dimension through grief, daughters, and unexpected softness. He's proof that charm can coexist with responsibility.We also tackle the messy, modern bits: the ethics of one-night stands versus real safety, smarter dating questions to avoid duplicity, and whether long-distance romance can survive airports and time zones. Along the way, we share fun trivia and reflections.If The Holiday is your seasonal ritual--or you're rom-com curious--you'll leave with new trivia, fresh angles, and, hopefully, a little extra courage to be the lead in your own story.

“I just want to be loved… preferably by Christmas.” Join Ian, Liam (always listed second), Megs & Kev for our 310th episode as we swap mirror-lined jealousies and boxing-laden family dramas for frosted cottages, floppy fringes, and Nancy Meyers' warm, impractical kitchens with The Holiday (2006). Crack open the mulled wine, argue about accents, and prepare to answer the most important seasonal question of all: is this even a Christmas film… or is it secretly a New Year's movie pretending to care about tinsel? This week we discuss: Whether The Holiday qualifies as a Christmas film at all — or if it's really a New Year's movie wearing a festive jumper, pressed into service only because our Patreon members voted it in as the Christmas review. How Ian possibly survives reviewing a film starring Cameron Diaz — given his long, storied, and deeply felt loathing toward her screen presence. How Megs approaches a film built around Jack Black — an actor she famously does not enjoy - despite her choices of undergarments - especially when he's positioned as a romantic lead. Nancy Meyers' world-building — does the film ever show us emotion, or does it rely entirely on characters telling us exactly how they feel at all times? Cameron Diaz's Amanda — chaotic, guarded, and allergic to crying. Is this performance misunderstood… or exactly why Ian struggles? Kate Winslet's Iris — earnest, wounded, endlessly self-sacrificing. Is she the emotional heart of the film or a fantasy of suffering femininity? Jude Law's Graham — peak Meyers male fantasy, or walking red flag wrapped in knitwear? Jack Black's Miles — pretentious douchebag, charming underdog, or the film's secret emotional MVP? The dual-location structure — England vs. LA, coziness vs. confidence. Does the contrast deepen the story or just sell vibes? The film's relationship with grief, loneliness, and romantic recovery — is it sincere, or comfort-food cinema avoiding real mess? Kev weighs in on the soundtrack and score cues — emotional shorthand or effective storytelling tool? Can we get over the plotholes? Who goes to LA to visit a house sight unseen and who leaves their dog behind for someone else to look after? The ending(s) — festive payoff, narrative convenience, or emotional earnedness? Haven't they just chosen a false ending once you really look at it? And finally, whether The Holiday is the Best Film Ever — or simply the most aggressively rewatchable seasonal comfort movie ever made.

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, une romcom de Noël devenue culte : The Holiday, de Nancy Meyers sortie en 2006. Cʹest bien simple, cette comédie romantique a tout pour plaire. Un bel esprit de Noël, avec même un peu de neige, des femmes en rupture, deux univers complètement différents qui vont finir par sʹentrecroiser, et bien sûr des princes charmants et lʹamour au bout du chemin. Cʹest complètement kitch cʹest vrai, mais cʹest totalement assumé. Lʹhistoire est simple : deux femmes, Iris et Amanda, lʹune anglaise, lʹautre américaine, jouées respectivement par Kate Winslet et Cameron Diaz, sont toutes deux malheureuses en amour. Par un coup de hasard, elles décident dʹéchanger leur maison via une plateforme sur le Net et se retrouvent lʹune dans une magnifique maison californienne et lʹautre dans un cottage anglais. Et ce qui doit arriver arrive, elles rencontrent chacune un homme charmant, Jude Law pour la première et Jack Black pour la seconde. Simple, efficace, mais il faut dire que Nancy Meyers, au scénario et derrière la caméra, sʹy entend pour nous faire vivre complètement ses histoires de midinette. The Holiday est, comme il se doit pour ce type de comédies, complètement décrié par la critique à sa sortie, mais le public accroche et y revient, année après année, faisant de ce film un classique de Noël.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes clock in with "The Intern" (2015), Nancy Meyers' feel-good comedy starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. Yes, it's sweet, uplifting, and maybe a little too saccharin at times, but it delivers exactly the warm, comforting tone it's aiming for. De Niro and Hathaway have fantastic chemistry, and the film's steady, upbeat vibe makes it one of the more genuinely pleasant modern studio comedies.The Mikes do take issue with a stretch of drama that arrives about halfway through the movie. It feels forced, a little too Hollywood, and somewhat undercuts the strength of Hathaway's character by the time the film wraps up. But, "The Intern" is an uplifting film about mentorship, connection, and finding purpose at any age, so it's easy to forgive the missteps.Overall, it's an easy watch, a charming film, and a reminder that sometimes “feel-good” doesn't have to be a bad thing.

In this episode, Manika is joined by Maya (@bodegavanetta), a pop culture commentator and TikTok creator, for a cozy, spirited deep dive into the films of Nancy Meyers. The two kick things off reflecting on the golden age of tween girl movies and how the genre has all but disappeared. They reminisce about the joy and specificity of early 2000s hits like What a Girl Wants and Cadet Kelly, and mourn the loss of mid-budget coming-of-age stories that felt fun, earnest, and emotionally rich. Maya points out how today's film landscape leans heavily into aesthetics and “prestige,” often at the expense of heartfelt storytelling. What used to be a shared cultural experience is now fragmented by streaming platforms and driven by algorithms instead of vibes.The conversation naturally shifts to Nancy Meyers, a director whose work remains comforting, elegant, and emotionally layered. For both Manika and Maya, The Parent Trap was a formative film—one that shaped their ideas about family, womanhood, and storytelling. They discuss the film's complex emotional core, the fantasy of divorced parents reuniting, and how Lindsay Lohan's dual performance carries the movie with sincerity and charm. Meyers' attention to detail, especially in emotional beats and set design, is praised throughout the episode.From there, they move on to It's Complicated, a rom-com that embraces the messiness of middle-aged relationships and gives us a rare portrait of post-divorce desire. Manika and Maya appreciate the film's grounded portrayal of love and longing, noting how Meryl Streep's character is allowed to be flawed, funny, and desirable—something still too rare for women on screen. They reflect on how the film resists tying things up neatly and instead celebrates the freedom of ambiguity.Next up is The Holiday, another favorite for both. Maya highlights the significance of Jack Black being cast as a romantic lead and how that broke certain conventions around desirability in Hollywood. They talk about how The Holiday makes space for emotional vulnerability, friendship, and self-discovery, all while being set in two of the coziest cinematic homes of all time. The episode continues to explore how Meyers crafts stories that are aesthetically pleasing but never hollow—where the kitchens are iconic but so are the inner lives of her characters.Throughout the episode, Manika and Maya keep returning to the importance of joy in storytelling. They talk about how movies like Meyers' can be emotionally honest without being gritty, and why fun shouldn't be considered frivolous. The episode closes with a heartfelt appreciation for the way Nancy Meyers writes characters—especially women—who are allowed to be fully themselves: stylish, chaotic, competent, and full of longing.Maya's socialsTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@b0dega.venetamaya and fola takes over the world https://open.spotify.com/show/3hewyYLxSyrspCZh9gxGk8Carrd https://b0degaveneta.carrd.co/Manika's SocialsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1CmokqeLIagz7nYQJfeRIwTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manika3000?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1Podcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/Thank you so much for listening to the podcast.

Why couldn't we just have one of these storylines instead of both of them vying for movie supremacy? How little romantic chemistry do Kate Winslet and Jack Black have with one another? Besides The Talented Mr. Ripley, has Jude Law been any more handsome than this movie? Why did Nancy Meyers put so little detail and conflict in this screenplay? How humiliating is it when they make Kate Winslet do all that Jack Black-style scatting? PLUS: The guys wish to party with the great Hans Zimmer after one of his big-ass rock concerts!  The Holiday stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, Edward Burns, Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Bill Macy, Shelley Berman, Kathryn Hahn, John Krasinski, and Eli Wallach as Arthur; directed by Nancy Meyers.
