Take a jaunt down memory lane with our hosts as they meander through the previous 99 episodes of this show and discuss the hot or not of what Madison has made Chelsea endure. Find out what movie was the crowd favorite in the March Madness bracket and listen as Chelsea makes Madison choose between her favorites, Madison makes Chelsea pick from the worst of the worst, and everyone is forced to pick their lesbians of choice.

If we are honest, never did we think we would get this far in the show. It started out as (and remains) a hobby and creative venture between two friends that were blessed to meet in college and we are grateful that not only have we stuck with it, but that anyone at all decides to listen. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for letting us continue to discuss all the rom coms you love, love to hate, and everything in between. Until next time, XOXO.

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 other Wednesday to find out.

This week, our hosts find reasonable parking rates at the intersection of love and money with Materialists (2025). Not everyone has realistic expectations when it comes to finding a good match, but Madison doesn't think it's too much to ask for a film's trailer to match its tone. Chelsea wholeheartedly believes people as rich as Pedro Pascal was in this flick should invest in some art for their cement walls, or at least an interior decorator. Starring Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, this quest for love among New York's elite asks us to consider each of our values...and pray we're not morally bankrupt.Connect With Us

Brought to you by the butts of the Town and Country security guards, Chelsea's most baffling experience of the season: Xanadu (1980). This beautifully rendered 80's roller disco fever dream skated its way into Madison's heart and melted Chelsea's brain in the process. What was the plot? What was that Ferngully-styled animated love montage? Why is Gene Kelly on skates? None of this gets answered! You'll love it, we promise. The soundtrack is incredible and the visuals were cutting edge. Were.

Happy Holidays, LAFSters! To celebrate the season, our hosts peel back the wrapping paper on Last Christmas (2019). Chelsea hypothesizes that this story may be A Christmas Carol for the modern age, and although this stocking may not be stuffed with uncomplicated cheer, Madison can’t get enough of its Wham!-ful soundtrack. Starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding, and with memorable performances from Emma Thompson and Michelle Yeoh, this seasonal tale of second chances underscores the gift of community for a woman who’s most definitely on Santa’s naughty list.

This week's movie is one small step for LAFSters, one giant leap for LAFSters' kind. We are riding the high of seeing Channing Tatum in his slutty bisexual short sleeved turtlenecks all the way to the moon with our viewing of Fly Me To The Moon (2024). Chelsea and Mads discuss the nostalgia of a country united by scientific progress, the grift of marketing, the importance of funding science, and their unending love for Channing Tatum. Was the moon landing real? Guess you will have to watch and see! Or at least listen to our hosts talk about it, but we really do recommend watching this movie.

Welcome to the '60s, LAFSters! This week, our hosts find themselves in a farcical love triangle between a widower, his new bride, and his not-so-late wife in Move Over, Darling (1963), starring Doris Day, James Garner, and Polly Bergen. Straight people will do anything but communicate, and Chelsea says this film is Exhibit A. Madison expresses concern about the lackadaisical parenting displayed on screen. And both hosts really want to jump in a random taxi for an epically comical car chase.

There’s a chill in the air, like a shiver down your spine. Something wicked (Heart Eyes, 2025) this way comes and it isn’t only the creepy time of year. Don’t look behind you, keep away from that spooky closet, and whatever you do, don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day with the Heart Eyes Killer on the loose. This week, our hosts venture into the unknown of slasher flicks– but don’t worry, love is never far away. We’ve been known to watch films that fall short of the romantic comedy genre, but this one? This one might just hit the mark, like an arrow through the eye of an unsuspecting camera man or like St. Valentine’s sword slicing right through the throat. Is your blood rushing from fear or from the butterflies of new romance? Who’s to say with this one… Listen, if you dare! (Thunder crash, etc. etc.)

This week, our cohosts turn the dial to "max bronze", giving a real jolt to this spooky season as they discuss Lisa Frankenstein (2024), directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody. Chelsea and Madison love an unnamed creature who doesn't speak, and wish some critics, who condemned the film for stitching together too many genres, had taken note. Starring Kathryn Newton, Cole Sprouse, Liza Soberano, and Carl Gugino, they hypothesize this one's destined to be a cult classic à la Jennifer's Body as new viewers reanimate the love this story deserves.
