  • That Joni Mitchell CD Ruined Christmas

    Did the Emma Thompson storyline ruin Love Actually? Why is the Santa Clause not spoken about more? Are you a leading lady acting like a best friend? It's our final episode of season 3 as well as our annual Christmas episode. This week we are choosing our fighters for the best Christmas movie ever. We also had some heated debates about some unpopular opinions about Christmas movies. We spoke about the best Christmas albums, including going in depth about that one song on the Josh Groban Christmas album. 

    We also wrapped up this year by discussing our favourite moments, and told some BTS stories like Rebecca's experience at the premiere of New Material and why the Kim Engelbrecht interview was extra special.
