In the first of our two part holiday special, we discuss "holiday adjacent" films; movies set in the holiday season which lack the festive spirit. We cover films from Billy Wilder's The Apartment to Die Hard and Krampus as well as some lesser known holiday cinematic offerings.

Sifting through decades’ worth of mass media consumption, my friend and fellow cinemaphile Scrumpy joins me in discussions on film from the low to high brow
