White bread, thick shins, and it’s Myanmar not Constanti-Burma, oh my! Shaun Duke, Jen Zink, and Paul Weimer fulfill their destiny as pawns to our Patreon supporters in our annual Holiday Special Torture Cinema! Together, they look at The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) and the meaning of characters in the context of a visual spectacle. Does the movie have characters? Is it possible for it to have characters? Does this movie actually know what a movie *is*? You’ll have to listen to find out! Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
