Tune in as my friend Misty Rose joins the show for the fourth and final episode of Christmas Month 2022, where we cover The Santa Clause, the 1994 Disney Christmas classic starring Tim Allen as a cynical dad who gets contractually roped into the legendary role of Santa Claus. A few of the included talking points are all the intense pressure and guilt that can accompany Christmas, Allen’s sarcastic charisma, the Popo Gigio backstory, and how Disney+‘s The Santa Clauses retcons the first movie.

Directed by John Pasquin (Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous), The Santa Clause stars Tim Allen, Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, Eric Lloyd, David Krumholtz, Larry Brandenburg, Mary Gross, Peter Boyle, and Paige Tamada.

Spoilers start at 16:15
