Welcome back to whatever fever dream we’re calling The Austin Anderson Show, where today we cover everything from space rocks with heartbeats to the blasphemy that is “Tim Burton Christmas Movies.” I mean, apparently there’s an asteroid thumping its chest like it’s trying out for Stomp, and people are out here prepping for aliens like they’re gonna land, shake hands, and ask where the nearest Panera is. Spoiler: if aliens do show up, I’m calling BS till the day they laser me.

Then we roll right into the sacred holiday canon—Home Alone supremacy, why Elf grew on me, and the absolute demon energy behind calling Eyes Wide Shut a Christmas movie. I also publicly confess my Bill-Murray-is-a-creepy-camp-counselor take, which will surely get me banned from film school reunions.

It’s chaotic, it’s festive, it’s deeply opinionated, and it smells faintly like peppermint and regret. Come hang out and send me the Christmas movies you love so I can gently roast them or aggressively defend them—your choice. [email protected]
