Bob's elder daughter jumped at the chance to rebut what she viewed as the vile slander of a beloved (by her) Christmas film The Holiday. (And talk about Christmas movies in general.) Since she visited Bob for the holidays, they sat down and chewed the fat about Christmas cinema. Enjoy a bonus very specialer episode! Though, to be sure, beware the ever-lurking SPOILERS!

00:10 Intro

02:03 The Holiday

11:38 Elf

14:33 Bob is trying, and failing, to think of Rocky Horror Picture Show

16:31 Swingers

19:45 The Muppet Christmas Carol

27:45 Klaus

32:51 Die Hard

33:44 Bob should be (and is) ashamed. He got this twisted with Lethal Weapon which Black wrote. He did not write Die Hard, but there it is. We'll blame this on an exccess of "Christmas Cheer" in his eggnog. He's gonna do something similar (though perhaps not as bad) a few seconds later when he says Black was responsible for Iron Man 2, when it was Iron Man 3.

35:07 It's a Wonderful Life

37:42 Christmas in Connecticut

39:50 Holiday Inn and White Christmas

40:05 Bob's half-right, it opens on Christmas Eve and ends on New Year's

49:29 Miracle on 34th Street

53:20 Wrapping up

Back after a longer interlude since the last time we tried to record we had catastrophic technical problems. After Bob's daughter complained to him that she can't listen to most episodes since they spoil movies she hasn't seen. So, this time around, a very special episode that only contains movies which she has already seen.

If you're interested in having your tastes pandered to, reach out. Who knows?

Trying something new again this episode; Bob and Mark discuss some soundtracks. What kind of musical expertise and knowledge do they bring to the topic? Almost nothing. Is it a list of their favorites? Not necessarily. You might like it anyway. Fewer spoilers than usual, though we disdain caution around such things as always.
