On this special holiday episode of WHM, we’re chatting about the absolutely unhinged, abhorrent, mid-aughts Christmas comedy, Deck the Halls! Are Danny DeVito and his hot family actually aliens? Why is Broderick’s character free-balling outside in his bathrobe? Why doesn’t the film conclude with the big winter festival they keep yammering about? Who would’ve thought we would be missing Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and their KRANKS characters? And wouldn’t comedy legend Charles Grodin have absolutely crushed the straight man role in this movie? PLUS: Is this Broderick’s worst movie? DeVito’s?

On this week’s episode, we were LIVE in Jersey City to chat about the Tim Allen Christmas classic, The Santa Clause!

How easily eerie is Joaquin here? Did Jesse Ventura try to snag an audition along with Sven-Ole? How intense is that tiger sequence? Is the CGI’d Oliver Reed the first cinematic instance of Hollywood going to Tarkin Town and should we be calling it Oliver Reed-ville instead? And how funny is that “They Say No” decapitation?

First of all, yes, we are discussing the four-hour and twenty-three-minute extended edition! How magnificent is John Noble’s demise in this movie? Of all the stuff they could’ve cut from the theatrical, why on Earth did they ditch Sarumon’s big fall? How horny is Eowyn for Aragorn? Was there a funnier way to include Sean Bean in that one scene? And should The Hobbit trilogy be re-evaluated? (Andrew thinks so!) PLUS: Samwise is framed for leaving nothing but Krackel in the Halloween variety pack!
