1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from my Heart Radio.

2
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Hey there everybody, and welcome to Well what would normally

3
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: be tech stuff, And it's a Friday, and typically we

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: would do a classic episode on a Friday, but we

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: thought we would bring you something a little different. You

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: may have heard that recently I launched a podcast with

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: my friend Ariel, casting show that she created actually several

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: years ago, called the Large Nerdron Collider Podcast. I had

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Ariel on not too long ago to talk about science

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: fiction and fantasy gadgets and concepts and whether or not

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: they were realistic in the tech world. But we thought

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: we would bring you an episode of the Large Nerdron

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Collider Podcast so you could listen to it find out

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: whether or not it's your jam, and if it is,

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: you should go and subscribe to it. This episode is

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: called Homehard and for those who don't know, in the

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Large Nergron Collider Podcast, we cover stuff like nerd news,

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: we talk about you know, deep dive geek topics, and

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: we mash up different properties to create something new, in

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: this case, die Hard and home Alone. So I hope

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: you guys enjoy this episode of the Large Nerron Collider

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Podcast and I'll chat with you again after the episode plays.

23
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Sit back, relax, Let's get nerdy. Hey, everybody, Welcome to

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: the Large Nerdron Collider podcast, the podcast that's all about

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: the geeky stuff happening in the world around us and

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: how excited we are about it. I am arieokasting and

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: with me as always is my co host, Holly Jolly

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland. Yep, Um, got a belly leca a bowl

29
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: full of jelly. That's what That's what lockdown does to me. Hey, Harriel,

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: I got a question for you. So here's your question.

31
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: To start off this episode. Let us say that, for

32
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: some cruel twist of fate, you are limited to only

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: being able to watch one holiday special or film each year.

34
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: What would you have picked for this year? Oh golly,

35
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: oh that's such a hard one, Jonathan, I know, way

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: to go. Um. Now, keep in mind next year you

37
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: would be able to choose a different one, but you

38
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: can only have one this year. I'm gonna say Scrooged, Scrooged,

39
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: the Bill Murray Classic. Okay, that's a that's a decent answer.

40
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: That's a decent answer. It's one that that's actually very

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: divisive to I know people who have very strong feelings

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: about that one because it is they feel a bit

43
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: too mean spirited. But I think the anarchic nature of

44
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: that plus the really weird meta fourth wall breaking ending

45
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, just to

46
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: keep it fresh. Like, that's one that I haven't watched

47
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: that much recently because like you said, it's it's a

48
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: little bit divisive, So I've watched a lot more, you know,

49
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown Christmas and things like that. So just it's

50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: a clean change of pace for a year. Got it?

51
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: What holiday movie would you watch for this year as

52
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: your only holiday movie? Ariel, I'm so glad you asked

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: me that question. I really I've been agonizing over this

54
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: since I asked you about three minutes ago. I would

55
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: pick Immott Matters Jug Band Christmas, but it would absolutely

56
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: have to be the version that originally aired on HBO

57
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: back in the eighties that has all the stuff in it,

58
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: including all the interstitial moments with Kermit the Frog, because

59
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: if you've only seen em at utter post the HBO special,

60
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: then you may not even know that Kermit was in

61
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: it because that part of the Henson Company split off,

62
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: like the Immitt under property split away. From the Muppet part,

63
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: and then you had this complicated rights issue. And unfortunately

64
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: it also meant that typically the version of emmett Utter

65
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: that you can find these days, whether it's on DVD

66
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: or streaming or whatever, cuts out some of the jokes,

67
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: and I don't understand why. Like, there's typically one song

68
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: that gets cut at least, and there's one there's one

69
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: joke that literally without the joke, the scene doesn't make sense.

70
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Now I'm aware of this. I can't remember the joke,

71
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: but I remember thinking that was incongruous. And then we've

72
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: had this conversation before. Because I feel like you would

73
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: pick emmett Utter every year for your soul holiday movie,

74
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: and probably for your only movie for the entire year.

75
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: I might occasionally swap it out for the Scrooge the

76
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Musical with the thank you very much, thank you very

77
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: much that song. I love that song, and I love

78
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: that version of Christmas Carol. There are lots of different

79
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: great versions. Yeah, that musical one is a lot of fun,

80
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean hot take, And people who know me know

81
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: that I have this opinion. I am not a fan

82
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: of the Muppet Christmas Carol, even though I love the Muppets.

83
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: Me neither neither. I'm more of a traditionalist it was,

84
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: and I mean I don't I don't even mind like

85
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: the jokes and stuff, and I do appreciate the fact

86
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: that they incorporate Charles Dickens into that version of Christmas Caroll,

87
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: so you get to hear more lines that you normally

88
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't hear because no one would. It's it's descriptions that

89
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: no one would ever speak in dialogue, right. That is cool. However,

90
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I just feel like the Muppets aren't muppety enough in that, Like,

91
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: like they don't go far enough in the Muppets thing

92
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: for it to feel like a real Muppet movie, not

93
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: like Muppet Treasure Island. I feel is way more more

94
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: liberal with the Muppets. But my favorite Muppet movie is

95
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Muppet Treasure Island. And see that's the thing the same

96
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: same here, I really, I mean, my favorite is still

97
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: the original Muppet movie, but Muppet Treasure Island I feel

98
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: they got it right, right. I feel like they didn't

99
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: go hard enough with Christmas Carroll. Also, I mean, I

100
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: know people who absolutely love his performance, but Mike Cocaine

101
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: was not my favorite Scrooge by a long shot. I

102
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: don't like picking favorite scrooges. Um, it's like picking a

103
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: favorite child. I think there are plenty of old men

104
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: who are very curmudgeed lely and play the role quite well,

105
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: and a few women too. There have been a few

106
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: versions of Christmas Carol with a female Scrooge and those

107
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: are Yeah. And also there are plenty of mentioned lee

108
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: older people who play Scrooge very well. And you've you've

109
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: been in productions of Christmas Caroll, so you also have

110
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: that that perspective. Yeah, I've played uh Mrs Fezziwig, I've

111
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: played Mrs Cratchett, I've played the Ghost of Christmas Future,

112
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: I've played the Charwoman. Yeah, Concertina street Caroller. So you've

113
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: got you've got you've got practice of of ominously pointing

114
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: in the distance downpat Yeah, so I'm a little bit Well.

115
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: They weren't real stilts. They were like plywood stilts that

116
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: then got caught under the like the long black robe. Us.

117
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: It was a wonderful experience. I never fell over personally. Um.

118
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: This is also crazy, guys, because most of you probably

119
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: don't know this, but Ariel is approximately seven ft tall already,

120
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: so I'm only five. Um, but so I'm a little biased,

121
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: but you know, you asked what movie I'd watch a year.

122
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of an unfair question because

123
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: we've gotten a whole lot of new holiday movies this year,

124
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: and not just the Hallmark Lifetime slew that we normally get. No,

125
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: but the Hallmark Lifetime Slew does account for about seventy

126
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: eight percent of all holiday movies every year, but that's

127
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: just by volume. Yeah, but I mean sometimes if you

128
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: want something uplifting, you just want some uplifting background, that's

129
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: great because you're guaranteed to get that with a Hallmarker

130
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: Lifetime movie. That's true. I mean, like there might not

131
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: be a whole lot of of meat on the bone there,

132
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: but you can be pretty certain you know what the

133
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: emotional beats of those films are gonna be. They're kind

134
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: of like the holiday equivalent to romance novels, where they

135
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: all follow a pretty similar pattern and you know how

136
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: they're going to turn out. Now. Granted, some of the

137
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: holiday movies that are also uh popular on streaming this year,

138
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: because that's that's how that's how we're all enjoying these days. Um,

139
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: some of them, some of them go a little dark

140
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: there are a couple that are are either emotionally really

141
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: going to to tear at you or in one case,

142
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: you've got a Santa Claus who's it was it was

143
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: an action movie star kicking butt. So, you know, a

144
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: lot of years I might go for this year, I know,

145
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I said Scrooge, I'm kind of filling uplifting. I'm willing

146
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: to one of these new movies kind of take Scrooges place, yeah,

147
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: to kind of kind of sume things. I think soothing

148
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: is something that we could all use. This year, it's

149
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: been a it's been a I don't know if you

150
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: guys out there have noticed, it's been a weird year, y'all.

151
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: M h, it really has. So we are we are

152
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: recording this a little bit before it airs because we

153
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: want to spend time with our families for Christmas as well,

154
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, whatever form that takes. But um, we we

155
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about some of the holiday movies coming out. UM.

156
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: One of which is actually a TV special event it

157
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: will have aired by the time that this episode airs,

158
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: which is The Grinch Musical event with Matthew Morrison as

159
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: the Grinch. They showed a commercial for it. If you

160
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: watch the Macy's Day Parade this year on television, they

161
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: showed a commercial for it. It got some mixed reviews,

162
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm a little mixed on my

163
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: opinion about it as well. I haven't seen it yet.

164
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Might might have by the time you listen to this,

165
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: But um, I don't know. I love The Grinch, and

166
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: I think that the actions and I think that the

167
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: music translates very well to stage. But any time I've

168
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: seen an exception of one person who plays the Granch amazingly,

169
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: which is a mutual acquaintance of Jonathan and I Judah,

170
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: he plays an amazing Granch. But otherwise, anytime I see

171
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: a live action version of a Grnch, it feels fake

172
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, well, the person in a large, green,

173
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: fuzzy Muppet suit. Yeah, I I'm I don't have any

174
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: desire to see live action versions of The Grinch. I'm

175
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: fine with the original cartoon. Um, I think it's I

176
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: think it's a classic. I'm not saying that no one

177
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: should ever adapt it for other forms. I don't believe that.

178
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: It's just I don't have any interest in it. It

179
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: doesn't like when Jim Carey's films came out. I didn't

180
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: really have any interest in seeing that when the musical

181
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: first it stage, even with people like Patrick Page, who

182
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal actor. Um, he plays Hades in Hades Town.

183
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: He was the Grinch. Like I watched. Yeah, I watched

184
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: a clip from the Macy's Parade from two thousand fifteen,

185
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: and they did the who Celebrates Christmas or who Loves

186
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: Christmas song and it's the Who's by the way in

187
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: case you were wondering, um, And and at the end

188
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: of it they also did a little bit of your

189
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean one Mr Grench and Patrick Page was playing

190
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: the Grench. That version of the makeup and costume I

191
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: thought looked pretty darrible. But then again, also the video

192
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: I was watching was really bad quality. It was on YouTube.

193
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: It was some someone who just captured it off their

194
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: TV or whatever. Um, it was not great. And uh,

195
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: I was just blown away that Patrick Page had played

196
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: that part, because I that somehow escaped my attention when

197
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: it was happening. Um. But yeah, I mean, I have

198
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: nothing against Matthew Morrison. I think he's a very good performer,

199
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: and I don't have anything against um, the other folks

200
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: who were in it. I mean, I don't know if

201
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you know this areal. One of the other cast members

202
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: of this production is Dennis O'Hare, who was one of

203
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: two actors playing the dog and Dennis dog No. The

204
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: other actor is also a human being. Uh Dennis so

205
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: here for those who don't know well. First of all,

206
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: he was in American Horror Story the first season as

207
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: a supporting character. But I think of him as Charles j.

208
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: Geteaux from Assassin's the same production that Neil Patrick Harris

209
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: was in, and he did a great job in that.

210
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: I look at him and I go he would play

211
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: a good Grunch for as as much as I like

212
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: a stage porson the Grig. I will admit that I

213
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: did not see the Macy Stay Parade version of the

214
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Grunch musical. I've only seen the granch on stage in

215
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: adaptations of suskal Um. But I think it's just some

216
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: uncanny Valley costume stuff for me. Maybe maybe it's just

217
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: never been the right costume design. I agree. I will

218
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: probably watch it. I'm just gonna say I will probably

219
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: watch it because I like encouraging them to make musicals

220
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: for television. Sometimes they nearly completely hit the mark, and

221
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: one day they will yeah, yeah. I like the idea

222
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: of more live theater having greater exposure, especially in a

223
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: world where one you can't really go see live theater

224
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: right now, not if you're being responsible and too. Even

225
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: when you can, it's not the most accessible art form,

226
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: especially if you're looking at stuff like Broadway. I mean,

227
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: that's that's that's for profit theater, and it is very

228
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: exclusive and very expensive. So having that increased accessibility I

229
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: think is great. And if it if it inspires more

230
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: people to get into theater, that's great. If it inspires

231
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: people to support theater, I love that as well. So

232
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm fully on board with supporting it. I just don't

233
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: think i'll be watching it. Yeah. Yeah. So there are

234
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of Christmas movies that follow

235
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: into the general Christmas story genre, but I think that

236
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: we should focus on a couple of ones that are

237
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: much more geeky, because that's that's what we're about, right.

238
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: You didn't mean to go off on a whole diet

239
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: tribe about the it or, although that's certainly geeky. So

240
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: let's start with the one that you alluded to early on,

241
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: the darkest one on our list, which is Fat Man. Yeah,

242
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: Fat Man, No, not Batman, Fat Man starring Mel Gibson,

243
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: which already at least for some people including me, starts

244
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: to raise red flags. But Mel Gibson is playing the

245
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: role of Santa, who is kind of down on his luck. Santa,

246
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: this is set in a very cynical world. Um And

247
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: the in fact that's something that that really stood out

248
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: to me is as I was reading the synopsis, that

249
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: just screamed cynicism to me, where Santa's disillusioned because more

250
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: kids are appearing on the Naughty List than the Nice List. Meanwhile,

251
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: Santa's income is dependent upon him delivering more presents to children,

252
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: like it's the number of presents he delivers relates back

253
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: to how much money he gets out of a budget

254
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: from the U S remant. And because there are fewer

255
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: nice kids, he's supplementing his income by essentially renting out

256
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: the North Pole and the elves to produce like military

257
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: weapons and vehicles, and there's like you know, apparently some

258
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: action hero type stuff that happens. And it's just one

259
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: of those things where I told Ariel before we started

260
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: recording that you mentioned Scrooged at the beginning. It reminds

261
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: me if you If you watch Scrooged, there's that segment

262
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: where there's this fake action movie that they have a

263
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: commercial for called The Night the Reindeer Died where Santa

264
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Claus and Um the six Million Dollar Man are are

265
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: fighting off various ninja and terrorists at the North Pole.

266
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my gosh, it sounds to me

267
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: like someone saw that and thought, let's make that for real,

268
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: but do it with without without humor. Yes, seriously, now

269
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: I do hear you know? The reviews on this are

270
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: pretty mixed. You said, not happy. Holiday movies tend to

271
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: be a little bit more divisive. In The Assassin that

272
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: the child who receives coal, there's a rich child who

273
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: receives coal in this movie and hires a hit man

274
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: on Santa And apparently there's some high jinks in there.

275
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: Um played by played by Walter Goggins, And I like

276
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: Walter Goggins as an actor, but yeah, that's he's playing

277
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: a hit man. Coming after sentence. He apparently has his

278
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: own his own acts to grind with the jolly Man. Yeah, so,

279
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: so I guess if you don't you know, I I wasn't.

280
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: This one's kind of flown under the radar for me

281
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: as a movie that's even happening. So if that's your

282
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of jam and you just have watched so many

283
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: Lifetime movies and Hallmark movies that you are two hyped

284
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: up on the cotton candies substance of those movies, maybe

285
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: this will bring you back down to earth. Um. I mean,

286
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: and to be clear, like I like some dark holiday

287
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: themed movies. There's some some Chris Smith themed horror movies

288
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: that I really like, uh, you know, including things like Crampus.

289
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: We'll be talking later in this episode about movies that

290
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: are not really Christmas movies, but they are set during

291
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: the holiday season. But Grampus is one that really is

292
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: dependent upon Christmas. It's just it's a Christmas themed horror

293
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: movie that I think of kind of similar in a

294
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: way to another film we'll talk about later, Gremlins. So

295
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: there's you know, there are things out there that I

296
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: gravitate toward that are not your traditional holiday feel good stuff. Uh.

297
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I I feel like you, I don't really

298
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't feel a strong pull to this particular one.

299
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: Have you seen or did you have you? Have you

300
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: watched yet? The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. I haven't.

301
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: I have watched the original Star Wars Holiday Special with

302
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: um it looks like the old quiz No mascots where

303
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: the novels were transposed on some poorly written uh cartoon characters,

304
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: except for in this case, it's actually just wookies. So

305
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: I've seen the original Star Wars Holiday Special. I first

306
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: of all, I'm sorry, so you got to see be

307
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: Arthur and Harvey Corman and all those people doing weird

308
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Star Wars sketches and things. I like. I like it

309
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: for certain definitions of the word like, but I have

310
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: to be prepared for it, and I just haven't been

311
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: prepared for that. For the lego version, well, the lego

312
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: version is not it's not a recreation of the Star

313
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: Wars Holiday Special. It is a news story. It's a

314
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: new story, and it it focuses on Ray, not So

315
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: which which clearly it had to be a new story

316
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: because Ray was not a character when the original special

317
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: out two sisters, Dough and Me. She does not. And

318
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: also the holiday special it does reference the original special

319
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: a little bit because Chewbacca does have a family, so

320
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: you get to see you know, Stinky and everybody show up,

321
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: but but they don't other than that, there's no real

322
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: nod to the original holiday special. It's more of a

323
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: goofy comedy time travel story uh that has a lot

324
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: of funny little moments in it. So I do recommend

325
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: that one. I think that one if you need your

326
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: your holiday geek itch scratched. I think that one does

327
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: a decent job. I will definitely check it out. Another

328
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: movie I'm going to check out and it's actually I

329
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: should have checked it out by now, it's already on

330
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: Netflix is Jingle Jangle. I am so looking forward to

331
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: seeing this too. I haven't made the time yet, but

332
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: it's on my must watch list. So I don't let

333
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: myself watch Christmas movies before Thanksgiving. So that's why I

334
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: haven't watched a lot of these Christmas movies at time.

335
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: At the time we're recording this, but yes, I want you.

336
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: Jingle Jangle is a new Christmas musical set in the

337
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: Victorian era with a I'm not sure if it's all

338
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: black or predominantly black cat predominantly black. It's about a

339
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: young girl named Journey who was sent to spend time

340
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: with her curmudgeon le grandfather Um and they create toys

341
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: and the thing I love about this movie is that

342
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the gentleman who wrote it, David Talbert, had been wanting

343
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: to do it for a stage play and just couldn't

344
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: quite make it work on stage and couldn't quite get

345
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: the right tone. And it took him twenty years, and

346
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: he had a kid, and then all of a sudden

347
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: he was able to collaborate with his child on on

348
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: this story. And then he went to Netflix because he

349
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: previously had done El Camino Christmas, which is not a

350
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: breaking bad movie, but it is a dark, a dark

351
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Christmas comedy. Um, and uh, Netflix said, hey, don't make

352
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: this movie to budget, make the movie you want, and

353
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: will fund it so to have. And he wanted to

354
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: make a movie that showed there are not a lot

355
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: of Christmas movies that feature black casts, and he wanted

356
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: to provide that representation and so on so many multiple levels,

357
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: from the the representation in the cast and in the

358
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: costuming too. The fact that Netflix, who, as we've talked

359
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: about before, they make stuff for a wide variety of people,

360
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of that is not for me. Yeah

361
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: they Yeah, they fund a lot of different productions, some

362
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: of which seem incredible just on the face of it,

363
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: some of which you're like, I did. They just have

364
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: money left over in the budget that they absolutely had

365
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: to spend and that's why they funded this. But but

366
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Jingle Jangle does look like like the preview I saw

367
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: was so captivating, and the costumes look so amazing, the

368
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: special effects like the whole plot behind it involves a

369
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: former apprentice of the grandfather who has stolen the grandfather's

370
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: designs and become wealthy using those designs while the grandfather

371
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: is kind of toiled in in uh In in poverty

372
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: really and Keegan Michael Key plays the former apprentice, Gustufson,

373
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: and he has a costume that makes him look I

374
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know if they were specifically going for this, but

375
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: to me, he looks like like the Wizard of ODZ,

376
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Like he looks like he could have come out of

377
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: the Emerald City. And I wonder if that was a

378
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: a purposeful choice, but it was just the first thing

379
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: I thought. Maybe it's just because his his jacket is

380
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: like Emerald green, but yeah, it's it's all the classic

381
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: setup of your your classic Christmas tale of you know,

382
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: an old disillusioned person rediscovering joy through the association with

383
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: youth and overcoming great odds and it's a musical and

384
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: the dancing looks amazing and yeah, just it's that kind

385
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: of thing that is hitting all the right switches for

386
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: me for a feel good Christmas movie. Yeah. Another another

387
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: one that I think flew under the radar for me,

388
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: but is hitting all the rights, which is is Dear Santa.

389
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: There was a two thousand and eleven movie. Is this

390
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: about Santa Claus? Who? Is this about Santa Claus? Who

391
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: has antlers? And it's not it's not so it's not

392
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: d e E R Santa. It's d e A R Santa.

393
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: Although I would watch, I would watch d e E

394
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: there might be one too many ease and there are

395
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: Santa as well. Dear Santa. Um. Now this one is about.

396
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: This is a documentary about the Operation Santa program the

397
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: United States Postal Service does with all of the letters

398
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: they get from children who who write to Santa Claus.

399
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: And it's it's a little bit more real life, uplifting

400
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: and I very much look forward to watching it. Yeah,

401
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: it's good to remind ourselves occasionally about the capacity we

402
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: have to do nice things, because we often can forget

403
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: about that with the the deluge of stressful, negative news

404
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: that surround us all the time. Well, we have a

405
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: full discussion to have coming up about movies that may

406
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: or may not be Christmas movies, depending upon as Obi

407
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Wan Kenoby would say, a certain point of view. But

408
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: we will get to that after we take this quick break.

409
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: So we didn't even really get to talk about all

410
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: the movies we wanted to. But that's okay because we're

411
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: going to go from the new to old. Like Jonathan said, so, um,

412
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: these movies are a few of my favorite things. No,

413
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: you went right for the reference of the one that

414
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: drives me nuts the most and it's not even a movie. Well,

415
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: I guess the movie is also considered a Christmas movie. Yes,

416
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: some people do consider us. So we're talking about the

417
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: sound of music, which uh, so Ariel, when you think

418
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: of that, do you think of just the music or

419
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: do you think of specifically the song? Uh? My favorite things?

420
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: So uh, I think when I think of sounded music,

421
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: I think of the musical and I specifically think of

422
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: the movie musical. Uh And I go, well, maybe that's

423
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 1: kind of Christmas Eve. But a few of these are

424
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: a few of my favorite things. Does play at the

425
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: holiday season all the time, and so to me, Yeah,

426
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: it's it's about gifts. It's just a Christmas song, even

427
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: though it's not that one. That one drives me nuts

428
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: that it comes on. Like when I listen to a

429
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: holiday music station and that song comes on, I get

430
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: irrationally angry because I think that is not a Christmas song.

431
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: It mentions Christmas in passing in the song. It mentioned

432
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: snow in passing in the song, but it is. There's

433
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: literally singing about a few of their favorite things. It

434
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: could be in the middle of July, it's still still

435
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: one of your favorite things. Don't play that on my

436
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: holiday station. I feel very strongly about this. Well, I

437
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: guess it's got snow flakes on nose and eyelashes, which

438
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: you're not normally going to get. But they're just they're

439
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: just yeah, they're just telling about a few of their

440
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: favorite things, which may only happen once in your lifetime.

441
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: I mean, kittens usually have what happened what in the

442
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: spring and summer's well, it's not really up to us,

443
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: but typically we see that more in the spring. Okay,

444
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: So there are some other movies and there I know

445
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: that you feel very passionate about them that people think

446
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: are Christmas movies. Um, the I think the most divisive

447
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: one that I've ever talked with you about, Jonathan is

448
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: die Hard. Yeah. Yeah, there's some people are like die

449
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: Hard It's my favorite Christmas movie and I will die

450
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: on this hill. Hard. It is not a Christmas movie.

451
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: It is a movie set during Christmas. It is not

452
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. Is there a Christmas tree in it? Yes,

453
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: there's a Christmas party. No, it is not. It's not

454
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. It is not. Die Hard is an actor.

455
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: First of all, Diehard is is the perfect action film,

456
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: and that is both a positive and a negative. It's

457
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: a negative because die Hard created a new paradigm for

458
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: action movies, right. Die Hard started a new trend that

459
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: everyone was trying to copy, which is why for many

460
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: years in the nineties and even unto the early two thousand's,

461
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: people would describe action movies as it's die Hard on

462
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: a something something so like Speed was die Hard on

463
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: a bus and then later die Hard on a boat

464
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: because they also had speed to Um yeah, yeah, so

465
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: so both good and bad. But die Heart is a

466
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: phenomenal film all in its own. It just isn't a

467
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Christmas movie. It does have some Christmas music in it,

468
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: but it's not Christmas movie. See, I might wager a

469
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: different opinion because if if everyone had not been at

470
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: the at the Nakatmy Plaza for the Christmas party, that

471
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: would not have been nearly as many casualties. So Christmas

472
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: in a way fuels everything that happens in that movie,

473
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: but could to me, even though it doesn't focus on

474
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit, it is a Christmas movie because without

475
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: the Christmas party, nobody would have been there too. It

476
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: would have just been a basic corporate robbery. It could

477
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: have also been a New Year's Eve party. There was

478
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: no reason that had to be a Christmas party. It

479
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: could literally have been a party for any reason. It

480
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: could have been this is the anniversary of the founding

481
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: of the company, and you would still have that same

482
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: reason why people get together now. Granted, Christmas party is

483
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: the kind of party where you typically have not just

484
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: the employees, but often their families there too. Thankfully, I

485
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: don't think we see any kids in die Hard, which

486
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: is a good thing considering one the people at the

487
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: party are behaving in a way that is not appropriate

488
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: for children, and too, when when when stuff goes down,

489
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: you don't want kids there. But but you see, you

490
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: said it could be anytime. It wasn't the writer to

491
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: make a Christmas but again, but again, if you had

492
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: said that there's Christmas music, if you had said it

493
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: at any other time of the year, the rest of

494
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: the story would still play out as it does. It

495
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: is not dependent upon Christmas, so it is not a

496
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Christmas movie. It's not dependent on Christmas. But it does

497
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: take place at Christmas. So I think it's a Christmas movie.

498
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: I think we might disagree with this. Maybe I'll concede

499
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: that it is a winter holiday movie. No, it's an

500
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: action film, and that's it. It's an action movie. It's

501
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: a great action movie. It's my favorite action movie, to

502
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: the point where it actually kind of ruined action movies

503
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: for me for a really long time. But it's not

504
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: Let's move on to a different movie. Okay, sure, okay,

505
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: So what do you think about Grimlin's Christmas movie? No,

506
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: not a Christmas It's said it Christmas and technically, Gizmo

507
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: the Magway is Christmas a SMAs present. But it again,

508
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: the story does not revolve. There's some cool Christmas Eve

509
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: stuff in it, like there's some cool uses of Christmas

510
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: in it, but unlike Crampus, for example, it is not

511
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: it's not revolving around Christmas. I also argument well because

512
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: because I think Gremlins and Crampus are like they're like

513
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: they're like sister movies there. They both have a similar tone.

514
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: They both have a kind of mean spirited edge to

515
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: the malicious nous in them. They both aren't so intense that,

516
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, like a younger viewer, someone who's maybe ten

517
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: to twelve years old, could probably watch either of those

518
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: and it would be it would be a lot, but

519
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: they could probably handle it. I mean, I saw Gremlins

520
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and I turned out mostly okay.

521
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: But I think Crampus is around the same way. I

522
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: didn't watch it until I was a little bit older.

523
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: I've never watched Crampus. I think it would be too

524
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: scary for me. I think Gremlins is much more a

525
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: Christmas movie than die Hard, and I love die Harden.

526
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: I like saying die Hard Christmas movie, not just to

527
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: annoy you, Jonathan Um, but primarily to annoy me. Yeah,

528
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: but I I would say one Gremlins is a Christmas

529
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: movie because if the entire story focuses around a Christmas Present.

530
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: I guess. I guess I could be more convinced about

531
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Gremlins than die Hard. Um. And the one reason why

532
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: I really could go with it is one of the

533
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: worst parts of the Gremlins film, but one of the

534
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: best parts of Gremlins too, which is when Phoebe Kates

535
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: tells the story about why she hates Christmas, which is

536
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: the most over the top awful story to ever have

537
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: happened to anyone ever really in a in a Christmas movie.

538
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: And then in Christmas Too, she they satirize that with

539
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: her talking about uh President's Day. I think, yeah, yeah,

540
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: her character have based RPG characters, Monster of the Week

541
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: characters off of her. Um, okay, what about Shazam? Not

542
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: a CHRISTI Christmas though, I would agree that that one.

543
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: I'd agree it's not a Christmas movie to me either.

544
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Winter movie. Yes, Um, I know that the director really

545
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: liked Christmas, but umve the Holidays, which is why he

546
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: said it at that time. But yeah, to me, it's

547
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: not a It's not Christmas. Yeah. I saw that one

548
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: pretty late, like it had already left theaters, and I

549
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: caught it on I think I caught it on a

550
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: plane actually, and I was. I had heard it was entertaining,

551
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: but my expectations were fairly low, simply because I had

552
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: been let down so frequently by d C superhero movies. Uh,

553
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: they just weren't for me. I'm not saying that they

554
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: were bad movies. I'm just saying they didn't appeal to me.

555
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't like them, with the exception of Wonder Woman

556
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: and this one. I really liked it was I thought

557
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: it was really in training. But even as I was

558
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: watching it, like when you said when you put it

559
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: on this list, I didn't even remember that there was

560
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: anything about Christmas in that film at all. Like that,

561
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: that doesn't even I don't associate the movie with Christmas

562
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: because that's not what I think of when I think.

563
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: No grant, I've only seen the movie one time, but

564
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: it's not what I think of when I think of

565
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: the film, which again, is entertaining. I recommend it for

566
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: people who haven't seen it. I did watch it for

567
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: the first time last Christmas season. Um film, Ariel, Ariel,

568
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't count something a Christmas movie just

569
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: because you happen to watch it around Christmas. Well, if

570
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: that were the only reason I was counting it as

571
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. I wouldn't. Okay, here's here's one that

572
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people disagree on. What do you think

573
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: about Love actually, not as a movie, about whether it's

574
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie? Uh, I have never seen Love Actually,

575
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: I have never seen I've seen the clips, Like, is

576
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: that the one that has the bit where the guy

577
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: is at the door and he has the poster board

578
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: cards with the words written on it, and he's essentially saying, Hey,

579
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, I totally dig you, but you're married, but

580
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: I still dig you. So I'm gonna totally leverage this

581
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: awkward moment and ignore the fact that you are actually

582
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: in a committed relationship. So you need to like totally

583
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: back on me because I'm really a cool, handsome dude.

584
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: I hate that, Like, I don't have any context for

585
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: that scene, but it makes me so mad. It's um

586
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: that movie. I enjoyed the movie. It just it's an

587
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: anthology of relationships. So I like certain bits of that

588
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: movie better than others. Next, Batman Returns not a Christmas movie.

589
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: Said at Christmas, I love Batman Returns. I love it.

590
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: It's it's got its faults. I don't think that the

591
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: version of the Penguin is one that I particularly agree with.

592
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: But I think Danny DeVito was great in the movie,

593
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: so I think I think he did a great job.

594
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: I just didn't like that version of the penguin. Um.

595
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: But penguins are all about Christmas, No, they're not. You

596
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: know that. You know that when Christmas is over, penguins

597
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: still exists, right they don't. They don't just puff out

598
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: of existence year round. Yeah, I know. It's it's a

599
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: shock to the system. Uh. Batman Returns is not a

600
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: Christmas movie. Uh. It does, however, have an amazing performance

601
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: by Christopher Walking in it. I. Um, I will agree

602
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: with you on that one. I love that Man Returns. Um,

603
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: I just want, I just wanted. I like my penguin argument.

604
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't hold water much like a penguin's

605
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: wings don't fly. Um. Okay. Edwards scissor Hands also so

606
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: Edwards Scissor Hands I think of as more of a

607
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: fairy tale that happens to be said at Christmas. But

608
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: it's it's this one's borderline for me because it has

609
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: some of the magic that you associate with Christmas stories, right,

610
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Like there is a magical element to Edward scissor Hands,

611
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: and it really is got that fairy tale field to it.

612
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: It's one of the you know, Tim Burton stuff in

613
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: general tends towards the fantastical. Um, even his more realistic

614
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: films still have elements of that in it, and Edward

615
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: scissor Hands is pretty far into the fantastical. So I

616
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: think of it more as a fairy tale that that

617
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: is set in the winter. But I don't think of

618
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: it as a Christmas movie. This one kind of ends

619
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: at Christmas with the snow and it's snowing again. And

620
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: to me, because it has that final note of you know,

621
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: now it snows on Christmas. To me, that makes that

622
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: that one note makes the entire thing a Christmas movie.

623
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know A related note, then, what do you

624
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: think about The Nightmare Before Christmas? Is that a Christmas movie?

625
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: I have never seen that. You've never seen The Nightmare

626
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: Before Christmas? You've got to see that. I think you

627
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: would really dig it. It's it's a very sweet movie.

628
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't think of it as a Christmas movie. Um.

629
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: I think of it as a Honestly, I think of

630
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: it is a Thanksgiving movie because it's because it's because

631
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: the action takes place between Halloween and Christmas. Now, granted

632
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: it does end at spoiler alert, it does end at Christmas,

633
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: but I don't. I think of it as sort of

634
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: that bridging season between Halloween and Christmas. That's where that

635
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: movie really lives. So I think the thing is that

636
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: I don't like mixing my Hallywodeen with Christmas. They're two

637
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: completely different, like emotional genres for me in real life,

638
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: and so it's just never appealed to me to watch

639
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: it in movie form. That being said, plenty of people

640
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: have told me I should watch it, including like you

641
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: and my husband. Uh, just like plenty of people have

642
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: told me I should watch Up Um, I just haven't.

643
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: I will probably watch Nightmare before Christmas before I watch UP. Well.

644
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: Up is great. The first ten minutes will destroy you. Okay,

645
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: Coming to America is Coming to America Christmas story. There's

646
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: a dude in a whole lot of Santa suit. It

647
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: is not. It is not. Listen, the the bath scene

648
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: alone tells me it cannot be a Christmas movie. There

649
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: is a line in that scene that will never belong

650
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: to a Christmas movie. So no, it is not. Okay,

651
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: I I don't really think that was a Christmas movie either.

652
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: I want to argue you for comedy's sake, but we're

653
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: already running along. So I've got one more Annie. I

654
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: don't think of any as a Christmas movie either. Like

655
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: it's It's interesting because when I looked at this list,

656
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: some of them I do remember being set around Christmas,

657
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: and others I think, and I'm like, I don't know,

658
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: I don't have any. I have no memory of that

659
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: taking place around Christmas. Now. It has been a very

660
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 1: long time since I've seen Annie, uh, And I don't

661
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: associate with Christmas at all, because Annie is really getting

662
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: pretty much like all the comforts that she could want

663
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: because she's been adopted by a billionaire. Um so, so so

664
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: in that case, it's like Christmas almost seems like it's

665
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: a overkill because she's already getting everything. But but I

666
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: just don't remember it having anything to do with Christmas.

667
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: In the stage musical, it's Christmas when uh, when Miss

668
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: Hannighan and Ruster Lilier caught at the Warbucks mansion. So gotcha,

669
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: I you know, I guess I can see what you're

670
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: saying there. So really, really where it falls the line

671
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: to me is if Christmas drives the plot. Even if

672
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: it's not focused on the ideals of Christmas, it can

673
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: count as a Christmas movie. To Jonathan, it seems like

674
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: if it doesn't uphold the ideals of Christmas is a

675
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: part of the movie, then it's not a Christmas movie. Yeah. No,

676
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: if it's if it just happens to be set around

677
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: Christmas time, that's not enough. You gotta try harder. Uh Like,

678
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: it could still be a great movie, it's just not

679
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. Might be a movie that you watch

680
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: around Christmas doesn't make it a Christmas movie. Well what

681
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: if we mashed up a Christmas movie with a not

682
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Christmas movie? Would that make it three quarters Christmas and

683
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: enough to count for you? I guess we will find

684
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: out after this short break. All right, Aeriel, tell everybody

685
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: what two movies you decided to mash up together? Because

686
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: you picked these? I picked these, which I dug a

687
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: real hole for myself, you guys, it was. It was

688
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: a challenge, but when I gladly accepted. Originally it was

689
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: going to be home alone in Annie because I liked

690
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: the dichotomy of uh, someone defending their house wheresus someone

691
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: who was an orphan Um. But then Jonathan actutely pointed

692
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: out that we've had so many musical mashups recently, so

693
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: I changed it. So I really just beg you to

694
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: spare our audience from me singing again. Fair enough, So

695
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: we're doing Home Alone, which I will fight tooth and nail.

696
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: Is a Christmas movie. Um, and I don't think Jonathan

697
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: would disagree on this. I mean no, I guess not.

698
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it takes it takes place

699
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: at Christmas. He's left at home because his family leaves

700
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: for Christmas. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, I know,

701
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: I know. He talks to Santa. He asked Santa for

702
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: his family. It is a Christmas movie. And Die Hard,

703
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: which is not a Christmas movie, as we have already established,

704
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: it's very Christmas music. Uh. Do you want to go

705
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: first or you want me to go first? Um? I'll

706
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: go ahead and go first. Okay, go first. I now,

707
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: we have not shared these with each other, and we

708
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: don't know how similar they're going to be. Probably fairly similar.

709
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: But I want to hear your pitch. Okay, So this

710
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: is Home Hard, Lost Knock, Tommy Plaza. Love it already

711
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: because if you if you um, putting like die home,

712
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: die alone alone. Yeah, there is, there was die Hard

713
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: like it is, just there weren't any good combinations. So

714
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: home Hard lost Nacka Tommy Plaza. So it's Christmas Eve

715
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: and Kevin mccleanister's mom because Kevin McAlister is a character

716
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: and home alone. We didn't really deep dive into it.

717
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: But I want to get right to the meat. So

718
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: Kevin mccleanister's mom, refusing to leave him at home alone

719
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: has stuck him in the worst imaginable place, the kids

720
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: play area at Nakatomi Plaza, while she and her new

721
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: husband Kevin stepdad Argyle attend her company Christmas party. Our

722
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: gyle is the driver in Die Hard, Okay, so just

723
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: so people can realize my brilliance, okay. Staring wistfully out

724
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: the will window of the kids play area, bemoaning the

725
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: fact that he is a mature tine year old stuck

726
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: in a room with a bunch of children, Kevin notices

727
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: a suspicious yet all too too familiar van pull up

728
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: to the office building. On the side of the van,

729
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: it says, sticky groopers. Uh. Sticky bandits were the second

730
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: iteration of the wet bandits from home alone one and two,

731
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: so they must have upp to their game. After having

732
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: been foiled by a latch key kid twice already um

733
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: and moved to corporate crime. Kevin also realizes that if

734
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: these sticky groupers ruined his mother's Christmas party, he will

735
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: be blamed for it. Uh. You know it's kid logic,

736
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: go with it, So he decides to stop them. He's

737
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: done it twice before, it shouldn't be any different now.

738
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: He scours the playroom looking for anything he can use

739
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: to his advantage, but all he finds is a set

740
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: of legos, a tarantula and a terrarium, and an empty

741
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: NERF gun and a bag of marbles. I guess it's

742
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: not only that's a that's a good arsenal for this kid. Uh.

743
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: He just succeeds at gathering all these items up when

744
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: the Sticky Groupers shoot the window and enter the building,

745
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: causing enough of a distraction for Kevin to crawl into

746
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: the duck system and out of the blay room. He

747
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: exits the duck system at the top of the elevator.

748
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how duck systems work, but I'm assuming

749
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: this isn't so he lands like on top of the

750
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: elevator and the elevator shaft. Just as the Sticky Groupers enter,

751
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: He drops the tarantula through the little latch door at

752
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: the top, causing them to hit half the buttons on

753
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: the elevator. But he realizes all too quickly that they're

754
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna get really sick of stopping on every floor, so

755
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: he also jams a bunch of legos into the into

756
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: the elevator, works to stop it and get it stuck. Uh.

757
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: This leaves him just enough time to load load the

758
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: marbles into his NERF gun, aim at the groupers through

759
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: the window and take through the little door at the

760
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: top of the elevator. Elevator thank you, and take him out.

761
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: Just then the legos break, the elevator goes up to

762
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: the next floor, the doors open. Kevin gets thrown on

763
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: top of the Sticky Groupers, who are now passed out

764
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: from being shot in the head with marbles from a

765
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: NERF gun and open. It is on the Christmas party

766
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: when kevinemy clanister's mom sees him. Mccleanister's mom sees him,

767
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: she blames him for escaping the play paid place, completely

768
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: overlooking the fact that he foiled a dangerous corporate robbery,

769
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: but because it's Christmas, she's so happy to see him

770
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: that she doesn't ground him, and they go home and

771
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: they live happily ever after. Okay, so I can tell

772
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: you kind of lost the plot halfway. I can tell

773
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: you that we totally did not go the same way.

774
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: So you are you ready for my attempt? That was

775
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: a masterpiece? Areal? That was a masterpiece. So thank you.

776
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: I am so ready. Yours are always fantastic. Here we go.

777
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: N Kevin McAllister is returning home after being away all year,

778
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: having recently graduated the police academy. He gets to the

779
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: family home and discovers, to his shock that his family

780
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: isn't there. They've left on a Christmas trip, completely forgetting

781
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: that Kevin was on his way back home to visit them.

782
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: How can the same thing happen to the same guy

783
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: like eight times, Kevin says. Kevin lets himself into the

784
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: family home, having traveled all that way, and does his

785
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: best to make merry. He watches old action movies, dances around,

786
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: and generally tries to have a good time. We can see, though,

787
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: that he is not having a good time. We see

788
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: this with occasional glimpses of his face, which is sad,

789
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's making fists with his toes

790
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: on the carpet a sure sign that he's experiencing anxiety.

791
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: Late in the night, a pair of apparent robbers or

792
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: bandits if you prefer, break into the house just as

793
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: Kevin is in the kitchen making some snacks. Kevin hears them,

794
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: so he's able to be quiet and evade notice, but

795
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: his service revolver is in his spare room where he

796
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: had planned to sleep. He conceals himself and listens in,

797
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: and soon it becomes a parent. The bandits are more

798
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: than just your average house thieves. For one thing. They

799
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: are soon joined by another thief, and another and another,

800
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: like twenty guys show up. They're all vaguely European except

801
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: for one guy who is clearly American, and he's a

802
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: hacker because he wears glasses. These bandits have heard that

803
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: Kevin's dad has a huge number of bonds hidden in

804
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: a safe, which is in itself in a hidden part

805
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: of the house and will require an enormous amount of

806
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: time to break into. And so they get to work,

807
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: and before long they're using various tools to try and

808
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: break through the safe. Kevin meanwhile sneaks around the house

809
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: quietly setting up various booby traps. He's without his gun

810
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: after one thief while just doing a cursory search, happens

811
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: across the revolver. Using tools like gardening implements, paint cans,

812
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: ball bearings, crazy glue, hungry Hungry Hippo's board game, and

813
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: some steak knives. Kevin McAllister takes out the bandits one

814
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: by one or sometimes one by two, because you know,

815
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: he's kind of a badass. At the end of the movie,

816
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: it's down to Kevin and the last two bandits, which

817
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: are revealed to be his old nemeses, the Wet Bandits themselves,

818
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: who are just desperately clinging to the idea of one

819
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: last big heist so they can retire. So Kevin totally

820
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: shoots them a whole bunch with his revolver, which I

821
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: forgot to mention he managed to retrieve I don't know,

822
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: like maybe three bandits ago. At the very end of

823
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: the film, the phone rings, and as Kevin stands in

824
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: what is essentially a pile of corpses, he has a

825
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: conversation on the phone that sounds like he's talking with

826
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: his family. But then at the very end he says,

827
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. Mr McClean. Boom. Kevin mccallister's teacher at the

828
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: police Academy was John McClean. But you didn't see that

829
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: coming the end. Oh I love it. I love the twist.

830
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I thought you were going to swear

831
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: for a second. It was a real roller custody. Yeah. No,

832
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: there was no yippy kaya ying in that. I was like,

833
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: please me, Mr Falcon, not not the but that was

834
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: I loved it. Yeah, yeah, see I was. I was

835
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: trying to think of, like, it's cool because you actually

836
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: went to the die hard setting whereas I went to

837
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: the home alone setting, and as I said, like, we

838
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: did not talk about this beforehand, so we had no

839
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: idea what the other person was going to do before

840
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: they did it. So that was kind of that was

841
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,240
Speaker 1: that was a fun experiment, and it was just lucky

842
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: that we both went the opposite way. You know, I'm

843
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: sure there are other ways to go with it too.

844
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: It's not one or the other. In fact, if if

845
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: our listeners come up with ways that they would like

846
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: to combine these two classics, one a Christmas classic and

847
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: one totally not a Christmas classic, then they should do

848
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: that and let us know about them. Yes, you can

849
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 1: reach out to us on social media on Twitter where

850

Speaker 1: but I'll listen, so you can tell me, Um whatever

858
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: you think either way, Well that I think that wraps

859
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: this one up. I think it's time for us to

860
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: to wrap this episode up and then maybe unwrapped some presents.

861
