S01E02 - Dark Xmas

Published: Dec. 10, 2017, noon

In Gremlins (1984) we go through the dark mirror of It's A Wonderful Life to Kingston Falls, catch a Corey in the wild and witness every babysitter’s nightmare. Moving to Scrooged (1988) Bill Murray is clearly having a complete mental breakdown surrounded by very good practical effects and rampant Christmas consumerism. We continue with Christmas breakdowns in Bad Santa (2003) to talk Santa fetishism, meeting the Buddha, and a cameo by Sheriff John Bunnell. We Finnish with the superlative Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) to discover the true horror origins of Santa. Also: We play a game of "Naughty or Nice?"
