Netflix has answered Brian's prayers and given us another high school Christmas movie with Let it Snow, and he's brought in the Foodie Films Man himself, Kyle Reinfried, to talk about it! In fact, Brian's been invited to Kyle's Christmas party, and the boys are recording right before the yuletide festivities commence. Find out if the guys think Let is Snow is worthy of being called "teenage Love Actually" or "teenage New Year's Eve" on another special holiday episode of High School Slumber Party.

The holiday season is finally here, and is there a more wholesome way to usher the yuletide in than with a Hallmark movie? Homegrown Christmas stars a familiar name in the news, Lori Loughlin (aka Aunt Becky, aka the lady from the college admission scandal) as a big city fashion magnate who returns to her small hometown for Christmas. Of course she falls in love with an old flame and has to organize her former high school's winter formal in the span of a week! Isn't that what Christmas is all about? Lifetime movie (and, it turns out, Hallmark Christmas movie) expert Joe Two (2 Fast 2 Forever) makes a pit stop in a salute to the holidays and Hallmark Christmas movies.

Awooo! Are you ready for a second helping of High School Slumber Party's take on American Graffiti this Thanksgiving weekend? Brian is joined by returning guests Mike Manzi (#HANX for the Memories) and Chris Podcasts (Now and Again) for Part 2 of our discussion on the film that George Lucas was most known for before Star Wars. Who could forget that final street race, Wolfman Jack, and the blonde in the T-Bird? Also, find out the guys' final assessment on the film, and learn what other movies they would recommend to watch after American Graffiti. Hint: it's not More American Graffiti, the less popular sequel.

Before George Lucas brought us to a galaxy far, far away, he took us back to his cruising California childhood with American Graffiti. If anyone ever doubted the Star Wars creator's directing ability, they should watch this iconic, Academy Award-nominated teen film. Chris Podcasts (Now and Again) and Mike Manzi (Third Time's A Charm) are back to break down all the hot rods, sock hops, stars before they were stars (like Harrison Ford, Ron Howard), and the amazing early '60s music on this side one of a two-part episode. Where were you in '62?

Guest Kate Hudson is back to talk about one of her favorite high school films, the underrated and overlooked Angus. For those who remember this 1995 movie, we are sure the memories are fond. For the rest of us who maybe let Angus slip under our radars, the film is so much more than your typical nerdy teenager pining for the popular girl type of film. If three Academy Award-winners and the film debut of James Van Der Beek aren’t enough to convince you to root for Angus, then its soundtrack — which ranks among the best in teen film history — surely will!
