Spirit Of Christmas/Last Christmas - Manic Pixie Dream Boys

Published: Dec. 25, 2019, 4:08 a.m.

Happy holidays, listeners! For this year's double feature we looked at two overtly Christmas-themed movies about that rarest of beings: the manic pixie dream BOY. The Spirit of Christmas is a Lifetime movie--you can tell because characters have heard of sex. But we're not here to take easy potshots at made-for-TV Christmas movies. We're here because Shawn has somehow never seen one. It's for SCIENCE. We actually went out to a theater to see Last Christmas, a podcast rarity! It went and threw us for a loop by being...good as hell, actually?
