On the show today, Laura is back from a whirlwind trip to New York City for the premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s massive new series, The Madison. We have the exclusive debrief on what it’s like to interview Hollywood royalty like Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, including the awkward moment Laura had to explain her "origin story" to Kurt (let’s just say he has some... interesting thoughts on the Gold Coast).

Plus, we’re diving into why the show is basically a more dramatic, high-stakes Schitt's Creek and how the cinematography makes the Madison River Valley feel like a living, breathing character. Laura also reveals a mind-blowing behind-the-scenes secret about those epic Michelle and Kurt love scenes and we break down the editing magic that stopped us in our tracks.

And, we need to debrief our absolute favourite sub-genre: the high-society "Fish Out of Water." From the rich girls forced to milk cows to the high-powered consultants accidentally falling for the local union leader, we are obsessed with a city mouse in a country house. We’re deep-diving into the movie gems that prove moving to a small town is the ultimate cure for a bratty attitude.
