Sam and Matt debate Die Hard's place in the pantheon of Christmas films, discuss the most faithful adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol' and appreciate the criminally underrated Star Trek Christmas adventure.
From Charles Dickens to Aliens, from George Bailey to Pete Davidson; join Sam and Matt as they discuss their favorite Christmas thangs' in their wonderfully magical final episode of the year.

CORRECTION: The NPR show that Matt mentions is in fact not called Brain Talk; it is called Hidden Brain and it is great! The episode referred to is "Minimizing Pain, Maximizing Joy" where host Shankar Vedantam interviews philosopher William Irvine about his views on stoicism.  (https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/minimizing-pain-maximizing-joy/)

CORRECTION #2: King David did not try to kill Baby Jesus. It was in fact King Herod.
