The movie
Show notes
FOR FREEEEEEEEE?!?! Merry Christmas listeners, have we got a lump of coal for you! Gali, Devlin, Patrick and Matt have each picked a festive favourite, and our choices lent themselves to compiling two separate episodes where each we discuss why these films are our perennial, go-to holiday films. We begin the Nice List with Patrick introducing the Salkind-produced British-American coproduction SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE , starring David Huddleston as the man himself, who ascends from a beloved toymaker in 14th Century Germany to the immortal, jolly symbol of Christmas cheer. However, ambitious elf Patch (Dudley Moore) unknowingly threatens to derail everything when he gets wrapped up with ruthless toy company executive B.Z. (a full ham John Lithgow) and his madcap plans for CHRISTMAS 2! Gali follows this up with Richard Curtis’ seminal multi-strand rom-com LOVE ACTUALLY . A murderer’s row of (mostly) British thesps swear, bumble, emote and quip their way through stories that range from a grieving stepdad comforting his stepson via drums and Titanic , to a sassy Prime Minister who has the hots for the tea lady, via a long-shot comeback by an addled old rock star among many others. We want to thank you all for listening in our rambling chats throughout this year, hope you’ve enjoyed them, and wish you a restful and hopefully movie-fuelled festive break. We’re excited to talk to you all again in 2021!
