'Tis the season to be slashing!

This week we are unwrapping our favorite Christmas slasher films—the perfect antidote to all that holiday cheer!

After surviving the stressful holiday season, the guys dive deep into why we love merging festive joy with horror, discussing everything from killer Santas to homicidal snowmen. They explore the controversy that nearly buried Silent Night, Deadly Night, the groundbreaking influence of Black Christmas, and some truly bizarre entries in the subgenre.

John's Top 5:

• Christmas Evil
• Krampus
• A Christmas Horror Story
• Silent Night, Deadly Night
• Black Christmas

Brian's Picks:

• Tales from the Crypt: "And All Through the House"
• Better Watch Out
• Jack Frost (yes, the killer snowman one)
• Santa Claws (Pittsburgh's own John Russo directs this... interesting choice)

Plus honorable mentions including Jack Frost, Santa's Slay featuring Bill Goldberg, the scam masterpiece Silent Night Deadly Night 2 (GARBAGE DAY!), and the Nazi-elf nightmare that is Elves.

Whether you're burned out on saccharine Christmas movies or just want something darker to balance out the holiday spirit, this episode has you covered. Perfect viewing for that weird week between Christmas and New Year's!

The legend is true. We watched the infamous 2003 bomb "Gigli" so you don't have to, and the reality is somehow worse than the reputation. Starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the peak of "Bennifer" mania, this Martin Brest-directed disaster is a baffling mix of mob thriller, offensive rom-com, and unintentional comedy.

In this episode, we break down:

• The cringeworthy plot of a hitman trying to "convert" a lesbian mob enforcer (J.Lo).

• The controversial and poorly handled portrayal of an intellectually disabled character by Justin Bartha.

• How studio interference ruined the director's vision, creating a tonally insane mess.

• Whether this movie truly killed J.Lo's film career and ended Martin Brest's.

• The random, inexplicable cameos from Al Pacino and Christopher Walken.

We answer the question: Is Gigli a so-bad-it's-good classic, or just a painful, offensive relic of 2003? The answer might surprise you (but probably not).
