Christmas Movies Actually
Episode 5: While You Were Sleeping
Kerry and Collin are joined by guests Christopher Brooks and Marissa Linzi of the podcast "FWD" to talk about the 1995 classic rom-com, While You Were Sleeping. Are rom-coms dead? Can we still have romantic fantasies in film anymore? Does Valentine’s Day suck? Just a few of the questions that pop up in this discussion. Later, Kerry talks about Ida (2013), Floating Weeds (1959) and Trouble In Paradise (1932) for the "We Just Say Book" segment.
Episode 4: Babes In Toyland (1934)
Kerry and Collin return to talk about the weirdest film in the Laurel & Hardy filmography, Babes In Toyland (1934). Monkey mice, Bogeymen and ghost dwarves play supporting roles in this alternately nightmarish and charming fantasy. Also, they talk about life after Christmas and Kerry talks about The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), Some Came Running (1958) and Anatomy Of A Murder (1959) for the “We Just Say Book” segment.
Episode 3: Christmas Evil
Christine Sellin joins Kerry and Collin for a discussion of the 1980 horror film CHRISTMAS EVIL. They also answer listener mail, talk about obscure Christmas music and Kerry talks about Fellini’s 8 ½ (1963), Harold and Maude (1971) and Queen Christina (1933) for the “We Just Say Book” segment.
Episode 2: The Christmas Chronicles
Kerry and Collin look at the Netflix family comedy THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES, starring Kurt Russell as Santa Claus. Then, in a new segment, Kerry talks about two films she watched for the book "1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die": Captain Blood (1935) and The Lion King (1994).
Episode 1: A Christmas Story
In their debut episode Kerry and Collin look at the ubiquitous classic A CHRISTMAS STORY (1983) and its direct-to-video sequel, A CHRISTMAS STORY 2 (2012). Why does one endure while the other one flounders? They also talk about the purpose of the show, their own holiday memories and what constitutes a film that has "knit-ability"?
