To end the fourth season of the show Alex and Jonathan talk about three films that relate to Christmas but might not be considered your traditional "Christmas movie:" Gremlins (1984), Lethal Weapon (1987), and Hook (1991). We talk about what really makes a Christmas movie, how formerly niche genres have slowly crept into the mainstream over time, and how Steven Spielberg was largely responsible for that.

Skip to:

5:24 - Gremlins

31:05 - Lethal Weapon

42:03 - Hook

58:19 - Overall

1:05:41 - Coming Attractions

Stay tuned for Season 4 in January!
