Send a text We sat down and recorded 12 episodes all about Christmas. Our favorite Christmas movies, our favorite Santa, our worst Santa, the soundtracks we love. A little insight into who we are and what we actually care about this time of year. Every year we pretend we’re film critics. Then December hits and suddenly we’re defending movies we’d never admit to liking in public. Day 2 is all about the Christmas movies we know are bad but refuse to stop watching.

He hates how stupid parts of it are, hates the hat, hates the “Happy Birthday,” hates the whole sauna death scene. But there’s something about it being so ridiculous that he can’t let it go. It’s the movie he complains about th
