Anton and the Mayor take a look at another movie about a hot Christmas toy, but this time, it's SCAAAAARY! Allegedly. It's "Pooka!", a competently directed and incompetently scripted movie that paints us into the corner of having to watch at least six made for TV horror films.

Barbara Stanwyck's ever-horny Christmas journey begins here in 1940, and you know Colleen is here for it. It's "Remember the Night", written by Preston Sturges!

Hey, all! Just a special announcement of a FREE film commentary for everyone over at our Patreon page, and some info on the incredible range of wild and weird stuff we have on offer there.

Emily and the mayor look at the 1998 Jonathan Taylor Thomas vehicle "I'll Be Home for Christmas". A movie which... Look, we aren't making any of this up. Everything we say actually happens in this almost belligerently weird movie.

This was recorded six months ago, and I still haven't finished Pride and Prejudice.

Flonk's here. We're watching Shazam, and nothing is going to go wrong.

Amanda and AAl of The Death of Podcasts once more join the Mayor to review a Thin Man movie! This one takes place on New Year's Eve, and involves an old lady lounge singer, a thankfully non-stereotyped Chinese restaurateur, and Jimmy James Stewart himself!

Cartoonsman Nathan LaJeunesse joins the Mayor to talk about a cartoon! But not just any cartoon, it's ARTHUR CHRISTMAS! Yes, the one movie that was unilaterally given gold canon status, which means this is one where your boys are free to goof off, gush over a perfect movie, and make veiled references to the unsettling fanart we found while googling one of the characters.

The Mayor and Who Else But Chant MacLeod take a look at "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus", something off of L. Frank Baum's B-roll. And Rankin Bass's... I don't know, R-roll.

The Mayor and his father, a James Bond fan of some long standing, take a look at the only James Bond movie with a Christmas setting, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". It's a movie that takes some pretty bold moves with the franchise, all of which they hastily undid next time. Oops.

Jon Siregar joins the Mayor for a look at "Scrooge", the classic-ass-classic 1951 adaptation of A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim. It's the movie that dares to ask: "What if, like, the ENTIRE movie was the Christmas Past bit?
