The human hosts are out for Christmas — so the AI is running the archives.

In this special holiday episode of The Average Intelligence Podcast, Atom and Ilea from the AI Analysis Podcast step in to break down years of AIP Christmas specials, pulling out the smartest arguments, wildest behind-the-scenes facts, and most controversial hot takes ever recorded.

This isn’t a beginner’s guide.

This is argument fuel.

Inside this episode:

Why the Power Rangers Christmas Special failed (and why it wasn’t the writers’ fault)

Which Home Alone movie was actually more brutal — and why surprise matters more than spectacle

Why A Christmas Story works on every level (and the forgotten sequel you didn’t know existed)

How The Land Before Time and Pinocchio were way darker than we remember

The shockingly heavy themes behind the Hey Arnold! Christmas special

The definitive three-rule system that finally settles Die Hard once and for all

Why Frozen, The Holiday, Harry Potter, and The Wizard of Oz fail the Christmas test

The gold-standard Christmas movie every debate should be judged against

A wild defense of Jim Carrey’s Grinch — including CIA-level torture resistance

A philosophical re-framing of Titanic that will completely change how you see it

If you love holiday movies, media analysis, and winning arguments at the family dinner table, this episode was made for you.

Merry Christmas — and consider this your intellectual stocking stuffer.
