Aughtsmas — Just Friends (2005)

Happy Aughtsmas, everyone! For this mini season, Sam and Jordan are diverging into Sam's passion for holiday movies and spotlighting some of the millennium era's most crucial Christmas titles. And they're kicking off the month with one of Jordan's all time favorite comedies: Just Friends. Straight from the Halcyon days of the Ryan Reynolds romantic lead epoch, this entry from 2005 is a slept on classic. Your co-hosts talk about our inexplicable cultural interest in pick up artists in the aughts, the power of Anna Faris, the appeal of villainous Chris Klein, and whether or not we are in a golden age of Christmas cinema (or at least Christmas content??). It's the Happiest Season, everyone, and by that we also mean the saddest season. So put on your Samantha James records and let's go party at The Maple.
