Happy Life Day from the Twisted Mug Media Network. Today, we wrap up our holiday picks series with Ryan's unfortunate pick, The Star Wars Holiday Special (a review 3 years in the making). Did this film negatively affect our mental health or did it provide some much needed joy in 2020?

We're back with our first bona fide Christmas movie classic during our round of Holiday picks!
