Reel Talk is getting festive! We’re diving headfirst into Santa lore with a holiday double feature. We kick things off with Santa Claus: The Movie (1985), breaking down its big ’80s energy, magical moments, and where it lands in Christmas movie history.

Then we fast-forward to The Santa Clause (1994) to see how Tim Allen’s modern take on Santa reshaped the holiday genre—and became a seasonal staple. Which Claus delivers more cheer? Which one holds up best? We’re debating it all.

So grab some hot cocoa, sit back, and join us for a fun, nostalgic sleigh ride through two very different takes on Santa.
