Popcorn Podcast is thrilled to sit down with Violent Night director Tommy Wirkola – who studied film in Australia on the Gold Coast – to learn how this action-packed anti-Christmas film crossed his path, why he knew Stranger Things' David Harbour was the right man to play a hardened Santa Claus with a score to settle. Wirkola also reveals his favourite "Christmas inspired" kills from the film – and there are some real doozies in Violent Night. We hope you enjoy this Popcorn Podcast interview with Tommy Wirkola.
