Bonus: Harper-iest Season (feat. Emily VanDerWerff)

Is Harper actually the best character in ‘Happiest Season’? Should she have been the protagonist? Special guest Emily VanDerWerff (Vox.com, Arden Podcast) sits down with a lonely Samantha to revisit the already discoursed-to-death lesbian Christmas rom-com for another hour and a half. We lay out a case for Harper, swap coming out stories, and worry about the state of art more generally. And then somehow, we end up discussing Amtrak, trans stuff, and the boutique 2017 horror film ‘It Comes At Night.’
