Yeah. 2023 on the horizon. We'll be having some Patreon episode releases for the next two weeks. We are taking two weeks off. Have we ever taken two weeks off in a row?

I a newborn i have somebody else's newborn to take care of but if you just snuck a snuck a pregnancy in without ever talking oh yeah by the way i have a child that'd be really oh yeah it was not a big deal for me i'm pretty unfazed that would be pretty cool it was like if you like used a surrogate this whole time you hadn't mentioned pretty wild never talked about it never talked about it. Never talked about it. No. Obviously, we're talking about Emily's sister's newborn. Obviously. Not Emily's newborn. Obviously.

Sometimes those targeted ads are good. Sometimes they're this, which is that it was Krampus's Tavern. Hell yeah. Which like, hell yeah. It was like,

Starting point is 00:04:18 And so we're like, Oh my God, great. We're going to Krampus's tavern. This is perfect. I also want to say that like, I get a lot of targeted ads and I will usually send them to people if it's like something I want to do and be like oh wouldn't this be cool and like usually people are like oh yeah and like no plans actually get made but Emily immediately was like yeah let's

Starting point is 00:05:29 Let's just talk about the second we step in It was in this really cool theater In downtown LA like a gorgeous historic Theater And it was lit Henley the lighting you would have been Fluorescent all Over the fucking place no ambiance
Starting point is 00:05:47 bright and like very cold feeling and no charm like you're not even spooky charm like you're in a convention center feeling convention center vibes for sure okay and it was all the whole the whole event was a bunch of little vendors selling things set up in like booths like true convention center style like little tables of people selling their wares and it was like rockabilly halloweeny like portraits and like charms and stuff nothing to do with krampus uh nothing really even to do with christmas this is nothing against those vendors this they had fine good stuff it's just like why here why now what are we doing it's gonna be a market tell me that i didn't come to the place like prepared to shop you know like it must spend money to come to a thing yeah to spend more money on random stuff what the hell wait were other people could you

Starting point is 00:07:37 the other levels to see what you spent again too much money on this event so we go at like we have a big there's like nine of us so we go oh no oh no let's see what the mezzanine level is like go up more vendors more little booze all trapped uh all knocked all together um can i say our spotted yeah yeah let's say that we had a spotted there we saw julia garner that's really funny um emmy winner golden globe nominee everyone's just looking around like where the fuck am i everyone just like you catch a glance with somebody else just like what they also had a sign that was like dungeon go down to krampus's spooky dungeon on and like the basement level and we're like okay well that's where the, that's where it's going to be like spooky and cramp.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Let's see. We'll go to the dungeon. Great. Literally on a sign, on a sign for this at the event. It's like going out to the basement. I was like, okay,
Starting point is 00:08:31 well I guess we'll go and just basement this way. Okay, we go, we go down the stairs. As we get down, other people are coming up and they're like, there's nothing down there. It's an empty room.
Starting point is 00:08:42 It's just an empty basement. Oh, okay. Well, I guess let's, we'll. It's just an empty basement. Oh, okay. Well, I guess let's, we'll go check it out. There were two women, I guess who works there maybe who told us like,
Starting point is 00:08:52 Oh yeah, there was stuff down here yesterday, but we decided to move all the vendors up. It was just more vendors moved while upstairs. It's literally an empty basement, not closed off or anything. You can go there, but it's just an empty fucking room.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Oh my God. With all the lights off and so we just went in and like hung out down there in the basement for like 15 minutes with our friends and we're like what the fuck are we doing here some guys came down at one point to like unplug some cords didn't care that we were just like standing in this empty basement of this event where there was nothing happening it was so weird and so bad and then they had a woman singing on the stage which like okay cool that's cool she was good but like she wasn't dressed like christmasy she wasn't singing anything christmasy there was nothing crampusy there was nothing it was like she was like singing amy winehouse it made no sense it was so so weird and bad and an unbelievable scam and i got we got so tricked tickets were tickets were fifty dollars the drinks fifty dollars a person twenty dollars yeah So I spent $70 to walk around this place confused for 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And then we went and got dinner because we were like, fuck this. Okay. This is stunning. This is stunning. I love that this was even allowed to proceed past one day. It's like the guy who did, what was it? Fire. Fire Festival.
Starting point is 00:10:21 That's what our friends said. They're like, this is Fire Festival. We went to the Fire Festival. Crepe is Fire Festival. Joel kept saying our friends said. They're like, this is Fire Festival. We went to the Fire Festival. Creep is Fire Festival. Joel kept saying he was going to call the Better Business Bureau. I wonder if you looked it up if there are just like wild reviews. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I'm sure. There's probably going to be an op-ed in the LA Times about how bad it was. I really like, I literally don't understand how they got away with it. I mean, I, I helped them to get away with it. So I guess I get it, but it's like, it, it felt as if they knew they weren't trying. That's what really killed me. It's just like, oh, you, you just got us in the door, but now it doesn't matter because we're stuck. You don't, you, now you don't care. So crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Yeah. Guys, don't go to the Krampus Tavern. Don't do it. Do not go to the Krampus Tavern. However, I did just look up Krampus' Cove and I'm like, well, that sounds fun. Why don't we just keep getting duped into Krampus events? I mean, the lore of Krampus is strong and undeniable, so I get it, but how many times
Starting point is 00:11:27 can we get tricked? Yeah. Before we learn our lesson. Yeah. Henley, did anything scary happen to you this week? Oh, no. I have nothing to talk about. To be bummed that nothing scary happened to you. I'm like, no.
Starting point is 00:11:44 You don't have to. you don't have to say anything we can skip it you know what you've done what 50 other scary things this year or 50 check-ins this year you could say that's i feel like i was gonna talk about something but now i can't remember what it was oh i guess like i you guys i'm like really struggling today I'm really struggling Um I guess I did buy too many Sweaters that's pretty scary I bought too many sweaters but the
Starting point is 00:12:14 Real issue is that then my mom sent me two Sweaters in the mail and then I also got Another sweater as a present And I have nowhere to put these sweaters And I don't know what to do with them Classic too much soup situation. Classic too much soup. But it's just too many sweaters.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And I have nothing else to say about it except that I have sweaters coming out of my ears. Nobody buy Henley any more sweaters. She has too many. I have too many. They take up so much space. I'm going to start storing them in like weird places. But that's the scariest thing that happened to me this week by far by far by far It's really sweaters are tough. I'm about to go. Like I said, do you see family somewhere cold?
Starting point is 00:12:53 And so it's like I need to bring all my sweaters, but they take up so much fucking space and i'm like what I What am I gonna what am I supposed to do got a bulk up on your plain outfit? It gives me like a cold pit of anxiety to even consider it. But one solution is one of those like air vacuum machines. But the thought of air vacuuming anything in my life and having it in like little individual plastic bags is like the scariest thing I could possibly think of. Now that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So I don't think I'll ever go down that route. But it's probably the most practical, practical choice. Yeah. Well, I have two small things. One of them is that my arm has been twitching for like six days now. If anybody has any tips on where, how to, and it don't, it's not caffeine. She's not drinking caffeine. So we already, that was a pitch that was thrown out and that's not it. And then what was the other one that was someone was like, Oh, is it this? It's like, Nope.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Not exercising. Nope. Not exercising. Wait, your arm. Where in your arm? It's my, my upper arm, like inside of my upper arm. It's not constant. It's just every couple hours.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It'll do a little spasm for a few minutes. And it's really annoying. I think it must have something to do with you leaning your elbow when you work. I think it, yeah, I think it must be the way that I. Or like you're stressed, so you're like tensing up more as you do that, maybe. It's usually stress, right? I think. Everything? I used to get eye twitches a lot, which makes sense. Staring at a screen being stressed. Sure. And I guess an arm twitch is kind of similar to an eye twitch. Yeah, that's probably really distracting, though, right? It feels weird. It's distracting. When I'm like falling asleep, it happens. It's very annoying. i've actually eaten like more bananas lately too
Starting point is 00:14:45 and i was like could it be caused by bananas too much potassium how about your water intake i drink a lot of no i drink a lot of water okay yeah so it's not that it's not that it's probably the bananas i probably ate too many bananas you gotta cut down on your you gotta cut down on your bananas yeah probably um And then the other thing Just a little sad thing is that Our beautiful mountain lion P22 Died this week And I just
Starting point is 00:15:14 Loved him a lot and I'm going to miss him I know it really is sad So for any listeners who are not Aware of P22 He was Los Angeles' Resident mountain lion He had crossed some freeways at one point over into griffith park which is in like the very residential like middle of la and so he just lived in griffith park for a really long time because he like couldn't get back up to
Starting point is 00:15:41 the santa monica mountains where the other mountain lines are. And every now and again, there would be sightings. He'd be like in somebody's fucking yard because he just was around. He was a real celebrity. He lived a long life. It feels like P-22 and Angeline are like the two L.A. icons. Fuck, I want a sweatshirt that has Angeline and P- on it and the Hollywood sign. Ooh, that's a great idea. Who's Angeline? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Henley what? Who's Angeline? Oh God. The woman that drives around in the pink Corvette that used to buy billboards of herself Her husband used to buy her billboards and it was like she's got blonde hair and she always puts a fan in front of her face
Starting point is 00:16:24 and she has huge tits and wears tiny pink dresses and drives a pink corvette around and people pay money to take pictures with her or to drive around in her car they made a tv show about this with emmy rossum they did but i did not watch it and i did not know what that was even referencing i have never heard of angeline before this isn't even ringing a bell besides that's so weird wow she's not once such a such a la staple like it's a real fixture yeah and you can like stop her if you see her she'll like pull over and you can buy merch out of her car the whole point is for you to like buy her things that's all she does is like sell her identity then and you know i haven't seen her in a long time actually i used to see her pretty frequently she used to be right by um ucb franklin
Starting point is 00:17:11 like all the time yeah um well so p22 they did so somebody hit him with their car recently because you know he's like out in the hills in the neighborhoods and um and so they got they caught him and checked his injuries and and they decided to put him down which was the right call because he was probably suffering a lot but it's very sad yeah i'm very sad about it love you p22 love you you're a very good mountain lion all these years it was cool to have a city mountain line. It was. But okay, should we get into this week's movie? I'm so excited. Okay, so today we are going to be talking about Violent Night in theaters now, directed by Tommy Workola, written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller, starring Davidid harbour john leguizamo alex hassell
Starting point is 00:18:05 alexis lauder leah brady cam gigandette is that how you say that gigandette i have no idea sorry cam edie patterson and beverly d'angelo and um yeah it's in theaters right now if you want to see it i think it's a good time oh she liked she liked it, you guys. She liked it. I've honestly heard really great things. Yeah, it seems like people like it. People are enjoying it. And this is fun. This is getting us into the holiday spirit.
Starting point is 00:18:36 We are recording an episode later today that will be out by the time this episode comes out, where you guys will be recapping a Christmas movie to me. That's a bonus episode. Yeah. So if you want to see or hear that, join our Patreon. Toni Collette's inner circle. That's the place to be. But for now, I'm going to tell you about a violent Christmas movie.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Is it very Christmassy? I mean, it must be. Yeah. Yeah. Great. So, okay. So the whole thing is I don't like Christmas movies Yeah so how'd you tolerate this one?
Starting point is 00:19:09 How'd it go? Do you like any of them? I like Elf And you love Love Actually No I don't even like Love Actually You love what it represents Love it's everywhere You like the messaging
Starting point is 00:19:23 Of Love Actually You're just obsessed with Keira Knightley it's everywhere you like the messaging of love actually you're just obsessed with kira knightley it's so weird you love anything actually is all around around it's one of my i feel like blows my mind every time is how close in age kira knightley and what's his face were in that movie the one that plays the like what seems like a tiny little boy but they were actually only like three years the one who ends up being 15 and she's like 18 yeah exactly yeah thomas brody sangster he was in um queen's gambit right yes and game of thrones yeah yeah yeah i remember being conflicted he's 32 and she's... He's 32? 37. So they're five years apart.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Isn't that wild? Pretty wild, yeah. Yeah, she was way too young to be playing that role. Mm-hmm. Anyway, we're not talking about that. We're not talking about that. But I will say for this movie, it's like the thing I liked about it at least was all the Christmas stuff. But I will say for this movie, it's like the thing I liked about it at least was all the Christmas stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Because it still followed that kind of standard Christmas plot. Interesting. Where you just have to believe. And that's what will make you triumph in the end. Oh, is that what you don't like about Christmas? Is the believing part? I think it's the monotony of them. It's that it's just constantly the same formula.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah. Yeah. Of course. I mean, it's really outrageous. Miracles happen at Christmas time. Yeah. And it's just about love. You fall in love at Christmas time.
Starting point is 00:20:56 It's just about giving and love. And really it's about taking. I feel like I'm stuck in a situation. Tim and I are in a situation now where like, now that we have Silas, we're like, oh, right. We have to like have Christmas for our, you know, our children. That's a thing we have to like manifest for them. Right. And neither of us, when he's, Silas is only 18 months.
Starting point is 00:21:19 We're going to my parents and my mom is doing everything. But like this year I was like, oh, we should get a Christmas tree. I should like decorate. I didn't do any of that. I didn't do, I did nothing. And Tim also hates Christmas music. So I tried listening to Christmas music for a brief period of time and he was like, I can't, I can't keep listening to this. So I was like, Oh, I don't know what we're going to do. But you know, when you have kids, you have to have like traditions and decorate. Yeah, that's true. I hadn't thought about it. Cause to do, but you know, when you have kids, you have to have like traditions and decorate. Yeah, that's true. I hadn't thought about it because it is so nice to just like drop into somebody else's house who's like done it all.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Exactly. Exactly. And I, you know, I think I'll be able to find some fun in it in years, you know, hopefully later on. Yeah, when he's enjoying it more. Yeah. I remember as a kid really loving like getting a new ornament, which now I feel like ornaments mean absolutely nothing. I always hated getting an ornament. Sorry, mom. I feel like you've given me so many ornaments and I love you for that, but I really never really liked it
Starting point is 00:22:15 very much. They are stupid and meaningless, but they're, but i really liked it as a kid and i'd be like oh my god a new ornament oh my god it's so exciting kids are so weird kids are fucked up we used to get we would get an ornament every year that like had to do with something we'd done that year oh that's cute be like themed yeah and that was like really like a ballet slipper the year you did that. Yeah. That's a nice type of thing. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah. And so it would be like, that would be fun. It's very thoughtful. What's the ornament going to be? What's the theme of the year? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But yeah, I mean, ornaments are bullshit.
Starting point is 00:22:57 So dumb. Christmas is so dumb. Christmas. Christmas. Also, you guys, Christmas is- I only celebrate Henley's birthday. Yeah. Christmas is so loaded for me now because A, it's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:23:07 But then also for close, close listeners, Tim, my husband is going to be a priest soon. So he's going to be working on Christmas. So I don't know what our Christmas is going to look like because he's going to be like doing services on Christmas day. So what the hell is Christmas going to be like for he's going to be like doing services on Christmas day. So what the hell is Christmas going to be like for me? I do not know. I'm going to be at church, I guess. Yeah. Isn't it a while that I live until just now? I feel like I truly forgot that Christmas is a religious holiday for a lot of people. That is literally the point of Christmas.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yeah, that's the point. And I'm just like no what's my little ornament buying purchases i know i know it's wild and food oh it's about food and time time off yeah resting it's about resting um Let me tell you some little stats about Violent Night. Okay. It has a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 55% on Metacritic, and a 7.1% on IMDb. Pretty good. Not too shabby. Its budget was $20 million. So far, it's made $48.1 million.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Very good. Wow. And I read through the trivia. I thought it was all kind of boring, so... Okay, fuck it. We're skipping it. We're skipping it. We don't need it.
Starting point is 00:24:35 So, shall we watch this trailer? Yes. You ain't driving, are you? I steer a little, but the reindeer do my sewer. This is my fourth year at the center. How about you? I started the whole damn thing. Ho, ho, ho!
Starting point is 00:25:00 It's Christmas! We decided that you could have one gift. Early. What is it? That is a direct hotline to Santa Claus himself. I can talk to Santa? All right, revelers. Welcome to your worst Christmas ever.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Let's go! You have $300 million in your personal vault. That's what I want for Christmas. I don't want any trouble, okay? Let's hope he's gonna scooch up that chimney. Who is he? Because he's not your typical mall Santa. Santa, are you there?
Starting point is 00:26:04 Daddy said you were very busy tonight. My name is Trudy Lightstone. Are you gonna help us, Santa? Yeah, Trudy. Santa? No, my nice list. Santa Claus is coming to town. Time for some season seasons beatings.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Who the hell are you? Boss, what if he really is the real... There is no such thing as Santa. These bad men... They're all all my naughty ones naughty that's naughty and what do you do to the naughty ones i give them a lump of coal where is it i gotta watch i believe in you Santa Okay I had literally not
Starting point is 00:27:09 I've never seen the trailer I'd only seen the poster And this is not what I thought It was gonna be at all Me either I had no idea I thought he was gonna be A bad like
Starting point is 00:27:18 An evil Santa Me too I kind of thought that too But Santa's good He's just a badass He's a crime-fighting Santa. This seems very fun. I'm actually sort of like, oh, shit, I would have watched this.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Yeah, I was going to say, I kind of think you could both handle it, because it's not scary at all. There's, like, no moments where you're scared. It's just violent. But it's, like, action slash home alone type violence. Uh-huh. Yeah. type violence uh-huh yeah it's all like um silly slapstick kind of like santa being ridiculous and huge and saying things like seasons beatings yeah there's a lot of winky christmas jokes that how
Starting point is 00:27:56 good for david harbour make me laugh yeah he's great he's a great santa he's a perfect Santa. Of course. Super fun. He's also the way he sneaks little ho ho ho's into like normal grunts and laughs that he does was like, honestly, really impressive. Did you see when he ate the cookie? He's like, ho ho ho. He does that throughout the movie where it's like, he just did a ho ho ho ho and like and like snuck it in there really impressive ho ho ho he got another one in each time like and then he's doing it again and none of them are ever like ho ho ho i'm santa they're all just covered a little it's subtle it's in a cough it's in a enjoying like groan wow wow nuance acting from david harbour i'm thrilled and i
Starting point is 00:28:54 loved his hair i loved his like messy hair that got in his face he put it up in a little bun santa in a little bun it's really fun So cute. Yeah. It's fun. I think, yeah, you guys can decide at the end if you'll see it. Great. Great. Great. And it seemed, honestly, yeah, like really festive. And I also like that. I mean, you'll tell us about it, but John Leguizamo's character is Scrooge and he's the one like fucking getting fucked up by Santa.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yep. This is fun. fucking getting fucked up by santa yep this is fun it's in the past few years i have hit a point where i only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable it happened it happened to me but you know what i still also want to look cute and these are two desires that are often extremely opposing and i don't want to have to sacrifice i want both i want comfort and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again with their soft lounge collection. I am currently very, very obsessed with, I have the soft lounge tank and boxer set. Okay.

Starting point is 00:32:05 Okay, so I saw it in theaters yesterday, so I shall do my best. Mm-hmm. She can do it. I just got out of breath. She can do it. She can do it. She can do it. For one sentence. I really had to take a breath.
Starting point is 00:32:16 We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Loosen up. Loosen up. Get ready. Get ready.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Get ready. Okay, so we start in a pub in england santa is sitting at the bar chugging a beer finishing a cup getting another and the um bartender asks him you're not driving right he's like he saw in the trailer he says uh you know, the reindeer mostly do it. I just have to steer a little bit. Everyone's kind of laughing. We're thinking this is a mall Santa. Another mall Santa comes and sits next to him is like, oh, how long you been doing this? Like, I've been doing it for four years.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And our Santa that we are coming to realize is the Santa. The real one. Yes. He's saying, you know, I've lost count. Feels real, the real one. Yes. As he's saying, you know, I've lost count. It feels like it's been forever. Um, all these answers that are to them seeming normal,
Starting point is 00:33:12 but to us, we're understanding on another level. And he seems a little disillusioned with being Santa. They think he's just like jaded of working with kids. But he's like, it's all about gifts and presents. It's not about like the true spirit of Christmas. All they want is video games and money. And like he's feeling a little bitter.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And then he gets up to go. He's like, all right, I get better get back to it. This is Christmas Eve. like, all right, I get better get back to it. This is a Christmas Eve. And he reaches into his sack and tosses on the bar counter a wrapped gift for the bartender's grandson. He's like, oh, this is for your grandson, Timmy. It's that book that he wanted. And she looks like, what the fuck? Like, how do you know my grandson's name? How did you know I have a grandson? And he's like, stumbles out. He's like, all right, see you you later and he goes through a door that then the woman is like wait that goes to the roof it says authorized personnel only and she's like oh it's fucking drunk like idiot and she goes to
Starting point is 00:34:14 follow him gets to the roof there's nothing there she looks up into the sky so funny honestly and sees a sleigh pulled by reindeer jingle bells are heard and her face is like filled with delight and i really was in this moment just like imagine if you fucking really saw santa be so crazy i would feel like i was having a mental breakdown like i think of all things to see i would be like that feels like something that is my brain is broken something's wrong with me yeah and she does look very confused but she looks mostly like delighted by this like holy shit this is so cool and crazy and she's like looking up at him and waving and then he throws up over the side of the sleigh and all goes on her head. Oh, gross. And it's very nasty. Um, and then we get our, our main title. So that's our set in the tone. That's our Santa.
Starting point is 00:35:14 So are we feeling good so far? I mean, I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I don't, I can't predict at all. It's going to happen. Yeah. It's really, really hard to say say this is a real mystery to me so far and then we are in Greenwich Connecticut and we meet Jason he this was so weird I recognized him as the invisible guy from the boys who is invisible in all of the boys. And I looked him up one time and like, so I knew his face from that. But I just thought that was funny. He's also in the tragedy of Macbeth. And he was so fucking good in it.
Starting point is 00:35:59 This is Alex Hassell. He's great. I like him. I hope he's in more stuff. But he is being picked up by his wife and daughter. So hot's great. I like him. I hope he's in more stuff. But he is being picked up by his wife and daughter. So hot dad alert. Okay. Merry Christmas.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas. And his wife's name is Linda. His daughter's name is Trudy. It's clear that they are possibly newly separated they're they are not happy to see each other and i think trudy says some says something about the like tension between them trudy's who knows uh 12 ish oh no she must be younger than that nine because she believes in
Starting point is 00:36:43 santa because don't you stop believing in santa when you're like eight yeah she's she's around that age but i guess like in this world santa's real so you know jokes on you yeah that's true that's true that's the other thing is like if santa were real we would know if there were presents appearing under the tree every year that we didn't put there if santa were real our parents are assholes that'd be so funny if that were the actual secret is that he is like i don't i don't want to give santa the credit i bought him i bought him i bought him oh my god you sneaky i want my kids to think i'm rich you sneaky motherfuckers
Starting point is 00:37:21 you got us you got us And then you got us again. Do you guys remember when you found out Santa wasn't real? I don't remember. I don't remember either. I don't remember either. It seems like such a big lie to like lie to your kids for so long, but no one seems to care as a, you know what I mean? Like no one remembers.
Starting point is 00:37:40 It's not like it's traumatizing to find out that he's not real. And it always is portrayed that way in movies as this moment of like yeah i did not have but i didn't have that i think it was more gradual like finding i think i'd remember finding a present in a closet that was like written from santa oh like a couple weeks before christmas and being like wait a second i i wonder what it feels like for kids i think it would be more traumatizing to learn that elf on the shelf yeah because that's so active and like in your house yeah yeah and like manipulative yeah right oh i don't like elf on the shelf what is up on the shelf it's just so you have to behave he's making sure you're good he's santa's helper and he's in your house
Starting point is 00:38:23 with you so he can he reports back to santa if you're if you're good or bad and you have to move him every night because every night he like goes back to santa to like report on you and then shows up in a different place the next morning and you have to like tell long stories about elf on the shelf to your kids every day lying to about surveillance for your children a It's like a little more elaborate, yeah. Yeah. But okay, so they are driving together to Jason's parent, Jason's mother's house, and he's saying to Linda, like, thank you for
Starting point is 00:38:54 doing this. I really appreciate this. And Linda's like, I'm not doing it for you. They pull up to a gated, what looks like a gated community. We find out it is just one gated enormous property and there's a man at the gate that uh lets them in it's clear that they've known him for a long time and they are let into this road that leads to a huge mansion j Jason comes from an incredibly wealthy family.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Okay. And we're getting the sense that this is a bit of the source of the tension in their marriage. Linda is obviously not like wooed by this money and it's apparently been a problem and his like mom's presence
Starting point is 00:39:42 in the family business has been like a stressful thing in their relationship. Um, but they pull up, they go inside, there's all this staff, this staff working like security and chefs and like people carrying little trays around and a bartender. And we find out that this is just for their family there's i think seven people that are going to be here so they're like outnumbered by the staff by like three to one whoa okay so they're that level of wealthy uh and i'm thinking at this point all of these staff look like undercover cops everyone is just looks mean and like muscly and i don't know and we'll find
Starting point is 00:40:31 out that that's for a reason so okay but it really did stick out to me i was like what the fuck why do all these people look like this uh they go into the living room and we meet his sister, Alva, Jason's sister, who is played by Edie Patterson from righteous gemstones, who's just so fucking funny. And she's playing basically the exact character as Judy gemstone again, because she's another like rich daughter who,
Starting point is 00:40:59 and I think their last name is light stone in this. So it's even similar family name. I think their last name is Lightstone in this. So it's even a similar family name. And she immediately is kind of picking a fight with Jason and saying, you know, someone's going to need to take over the family business. I'm going to take this out from under you. You're such a suck up.
Starting point is 00:41:15 You're always trying to get on mom's good side. You're her favorite, but like, I'm going to prove to her that I deserve it. She's very competitive for the top spot in like the next generation of the family's business. So this is just like succession is what you're telling me. It's very competitive for the top spot in like the next generation of the family's business. So this is just like Succession is what you're telling me. It's very similar.
Starting point is 00:41:29 This is a Christmas movie. Very similar. Perfect. Yeah. And she has a boyfriend named Morgan Steele played by Cam Gigandet. Again, I don't know if that's how you say his name, but you may know him from Twilight. He plays, what does he play? James.
Starting point is 00:41:50 He's like one of the three bad guys. Is he the villain in the first one? Yep. From the dance studio? Yep. The blonde guy? Yep. The ponytail?
Starting point is 00:41:57 Mm-hmm. Hell yeah. Yes, yes, yes. And he is like a wannabe Action star And we meet him talking About how he would have stopped 9-11 If he was on the plane, which is a very funny Reference to a real thing that Mark Wahlberg
Starting point is 00:42:14 Said Oh right, I forgot about that It's so crazy, he did apologize For saying it, but it is just so funny To be like, oh it wouldn't have happened if I was there It's, yeah, it's like you can Apologize for that it, but it is just so funny to be like, oh, it wouldn't have happened if I was there. It's yeah. It's like you can apologize for that.
Starting point is 00:42:29 But we all know that you thought it. That's your that is your worldview. Yeah. Yeah. That's a hard one to forget. Yeah. So he we also learn is excited to pitch his movie idea to her mom. It's like an opportunity for her to invest in it uh alva also has a son named bert he's like an annoying another annoying little rich kid who's like street live streaming on his
Starting point is 00:42:54 phone a lot and the mom walks in mom's name is gertrude she's like very intimidating and cold like not really friendly to her grandchildren she's like on the phone doing business deals, like yelling at a Senator. And she eventually like says hi to everybody. And we see little Trudy give her a hug like grandma. And she says, or, or Alva says like,
Starting point is 00:43:22 you guys are such suck ups. You named your daughter after mom mom's name is gertrude and the daughter's name is gertrude but she goes by trudy and they say you named your son bertrude that's really funny she's like not all of us can be blessed with daughters okay and so gertrude finds out that trudy is going by trudy and she says oh you sound like a whore so that's her like grandmother vibe you sound like a whore yeah she she doesn't say it to her she says it to jason but like absolutely with like with it and earshot she's like trudy sounds
Starting point is 00:44:00 like a whore's name that's a crazy thing and he say. And he's like, mom. And she's like, she doesn't know what that word means. Wait, I've told you guys about the family I babysat for one time. Who's the dad was Paul and the daughter was Paulina and the son was Paul. Oh my God. Paulina and Paul and Paul and Paulul do you think they'll keep it going it just gets more confusing with like the more generations it is like imagine if everyone at a christmas dinner is all named paul or paulina or paula like that gets really crazy to be like oh hi nice to meet you my name is paulina this is my brother paul oh and i would love to have you meet my dad Paul What's the mom's name? I don't know I can't remember I can't remember
Starting point is 00:44:49 Obviously it would be pretty fucked up if it was Paula or something It just would be confusing How would you Paula passed the assault? Who are you talking to? They would all need nicknames Wow that's insane Okay so They would all need nicknames. They would all need nicknames. Okay. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:05 That's insane. Okay. So, uh, yes, we, now we get, we've met that family,
Starting point is 00:45:13 our, our main characters. And we go back to Santa to see a little montage of him going house to house. He taps his nose to magically go down the chimney. He like turns into like a little magic dust and reappears inside and he's a little drunk still. He's like swaying side to side. He's stealing instead of cookies. He's taking beers and he's not having a good time. Back at the mansion,
Starting point is 00:45:42 Trudy realizes that her dad forgot to take her to the mall this year so she could tell Santa what she wants. And she's really upset by this. And Linda gives Jason this look like, are you fucking kidding? Like, that's the one thing that you had to do and you didn't do it. So he runs to a little storage room, a little game closet, finds something, wraps it. And as they're tucking her into bed, he says, we've got one gift for you. And she unwraps it and it is a walkie talkie. And he says, that's a direct line to
Starting point is 00:46:11 Santa. He's really busy tonight. So he might not get back to you, but you just talk into there and tell him what you want and he will hear it. Um, and she's, she's like so relieved by this. Like, thank you so much. Yeah, that was good thinking. Good thinking. So they they tuck her in and they leave the room and they're listening outside the door because she's about to like talk into the walkie talkie and they know that. And she's talking to Santa. She's being so sweet. Really smart parenting shit. And she's saying really sweet things like I've been I've been so good all year and I
Starting point is 00:46:43 like did this nice thing and I know you're so busy and I'm so sorry i hope you're having a really good night so far and what do you guys think she asks for um her parents to get back together that's right these movies write themselves tough one for them to overhear yeah so it's awkward um with them and jason seems more interested in getting back together than linda well we gotta do it she asked it's her christmas witch which this is which that's what this movie should be about i'd see that movie yeah same um and he talks to her talks to linda and is like what if we could give her her give her what she wants give her her wish and she says you know that i can't be with you and you're like part of this family it's like i
Starting point is 00:47:37 don't want this life and i don't want like the person you are when you're part of this business and he says what if we just walk away like after this let's just walk away and never come back here and she's like oh well if we did that that would be a conversation to have but then it cuts away and we don't really see how that conversation ends but, uh, everyone goes to bed, I think. And we see Santa arriving now at this house and he is enjoying the cookies that Trudy made. Cause she made them homemade with love and care and he can taste it. This is where he goes. Oh, and he uh sits in a little massage chair and he's uh luxuriating in this fancy house for a bit and we see john leguizamo at the front gate going up to the guard and saying his car broke down on
Starting point is 00:48:39 the road can you help me the guard's looking suspicious real quick takes out a gun shoots him right in the head and gets on a walkie-talkie and we see sure enough all the seemingly undercover cops in the house have walkie-talkies and he's messaging them and he says mr scrooge here it's a go and all of them start checking in with their little code names and it's like tinsel check candy cane check sugar oh my god oh my god and it really did make me laugh even though it's so stupid them just being like okay you gotta do a job on christmas eve let's have some fun and so they all pull out their weapons that they had been hiding and start killing. I guess some of the people that were working were actual employees of the family that are not a part of this scheme.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And so they all get immediately murdered. And Santa hears the gunfire from upstairs. There's like two living rooms in this house. It's that big. So I was a little confused because Santa is also in a living room with a fireplace but there's another living room with a fireplace so i guess in a big house there probably would be multiple so he's hearing the gunfire he's trying to get out of there uh and then one of the henchmen comes into the room and finds him and they have like a fight and he's trying to use his little magic to get out he's like tapping his
Starting point is 00:50:14 nose thing and it's kind of doing just like a little bit of sparkles like he's out of juice kind of thing it's not quite working he's like oh fuck fuck. And he opens the window. He's on the second floor and looks below the window. There's this Christmas tree sculpture. That's basically just like a huge spike. And he's like, don't want to jump onto that. And so he like tries to reason with the henchmen. Henchmen is, uh, they're trying to like gather everybody into the downstairs living room so he's like follow me come with me he's like no i'm not gonna do that they get in a fight and it looks like santa at first is getting the shit beat out of him and then he kind of at one point uh something something flips and he's like you don't want me to do Oh, and we had seen earlier at the bar him cracking chestnuts with his bare hands.
Starting point is 00:51:09 So we know he's strong. He's got magic Santa strength. So then he eventually takes this guy out. And in their fight, they both fall out of the window. And the henchman gets impaled on the spike and santa misses it and just lands on the snow below so now santa's outside and he's watching through the window as the rest of the family are gathered into the living room by a bunch of other henchmen with machine guns and oh in that fight also the gun like shot into the ceiling
Starting point is 00:51:48 and that's where the reindeer are and they got scared and they ran away and so santa is now stranded and doesn't have a way to get out so santa's watching through the window as he sees mr scrooge giving his big speech about why they're doing this. And he's talking to Gertrude and saying, we're here because you have $300 million in your vault downstairs. And we're here to take it. And she keeps thinking like, you're such an idiot. Didn't you see when my brother got kidnapped? Our kill team came in and they never found the kidnappers, if you get what I'm saying. And he's like, I know that, Gertrude. Like, I've done my research. I know everything about you. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:52:36 he keeps re-getting the upper hand. She keeps thinking, I've got one over on you. She doesn't. He keeps being like, Gertrudeude how many times do I have to tell you like I know like trust me I know so he says kill team's gonna be here in 20 minutes Scrooge says I'm counting on it and we see Santa go back inside to another room um of the house kind of like a game room it has like a pool table and another henchman comes in there. They have a big fight and there's like cute little Christmas gags. Like he's reaching into his sack, his magical sack and being like, come on, like looking for something to use as a weapon. And it's like, ah, good diehard DVD and nothing that he can use. And like, eventually
Starting point is 00:53:21 there's a big doll that he used uses to like hit him over the side of the head and somewhere in here santa gets he gets punched pretty good and it dazes him and we get like a brief flash of him as a viking like what looks like a flashback just like santa in viking garb great great great great great and then he comes back to and gets back in this fight and he like fills a sock with pool pool balls and is beating the guy with that this guy gets fucking the shit beat out of him and you know how in movie fights they just like get right back up it's so crazy it's like if you get beaten in the head three times with a sock filled with pool balls, you're not jumping right back up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:08 But he does. And eventually Santa is pinned underneath him and he's grabbing fallen ornaments, everybody's favorite thing, and smashing them onto his head. They're not really affecting him. they're too small of ornaments and then he grabs the star from the top of a christmas tree and jabs it in the guy's eye it's really nasty it looks like it goes like not into his eye but into the skin of his eye like to the side of his eye so it's actually like in his skin like between his scalp and his eye it looks it looks bad and we're thinking like that'll take him out but it doesn't and it seems like it reinvigorates him with anger and he's about to
Starting point is 00:54:52 come for santa like he's so mad and santa's looking around doesn't know what to do sees the plug to the christmas tree lights plugs it in and it lights up the star electrocuting the man in the brain and his whole head catches on fire and now he's finally dead. Oof. Beautiful, beautiful fight scene. Mm-hmm. Wow. Stunning.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Stunning. Stunning. And this guy had a walkie-talkie. Santa snatches it off of him, starts trying to change the dial to try to find somewhere to call help, call for help. And in changing the channels, he finds the lands on the channel of Trudy talking into it, saying like asking for Santa. We see that she still has the walkie talkie. And so she's she's in the living room surrounded by all the other people with guns and she's kind
Starting point is 00:55:46 of huddled talking into the walkie-talkie like santa please we need help santa if you're listening please and of course they're all writing it off as like well she's talking into a fake thing to santa and they're not necessarily threatened by it and she says says, my name's Trudy Lightstone. We need your help. And he pulls out his list, his little scroll and unfurls it and sees Trudy Lightstone. Her little name comes up and says, nice. And all the reasons why she's nice, nice to animals, like helps with chores. And he's like, okay, Trudy, I'll like okay trudy i'll help you like you're on my you're on my nice list and then he checks all the rest of the people in the room all the bad guys and looks in there of course all on the naughty list sure what if they were on the nicest
Starting point is 00:56:38 and he was like well my hand would be interesting and she says what do you do to guys that are on the naughty list and he's like i give him a lump of coal straight up there and she goes ass and he's like trudy watch out you don't want to be on the pushing pushing it a bit here you don't want to end up on that naughty list and i don't know this gag was kind of funny she's like can i say butthole he's like it's borderline that's borderline so stupid so stupid oh but i did laugh it did laugh i've butthole and then she says can i say anus he says yeah i guess you can say anus okay so he tells her he's gonna help her he's gonna help her take out all the bad guys and somewhere somewhere in this, I guess they hear that there's another, there is a voice coming back on the walkie talkie. And I think the bad guys have noticed that two of them haven't returned and aren't answering the walkie talkie. So then they turn and are like, who is she talking to on the
Starting point is 00:57:38 walkie talkie right now? And it gets tense and they're like pointing their guns. And Jason trying to protect her is like, nobody, nobody. She like thinks she's talking to santa she thinks she's talking to santa and she's like i am talking to santa i am talking to santa and he's like no you're not trudy and she's like yes i am and he's like no you're not because santa isn't real and she's like and everyone looks at Jason like, come on, man. And Trudy in this, uh, starts crying and like runs away and gets past, past them. And I can't remember really how she like, let her go. Let her go. She just found out really bad news. Let her go. She needs space right now more than anything. So she gets away and she hides in the attic and she still has her walkie talkie and she talks to santa a little bit more through there and this is where he tells her um or we find out that he used
Starting point is 00:58:34 to be a skilled warrior she says how long have you been santa he says it's been about 1100 years now um and me and mrs claus you know i've been together that whole time and i used to yeah i used to do really bad things but um now i do good things and she says what if you could use that power and skill that you had as a warrior to do good to like take out bad guys. And he's like, yeah, now we're talking. Now we're talking. So then Santa or Mr. Scrooge is calling the on the walkie talkie and Santa answers and like says he's dead. So now Scrooge knows like there is somebody else here that they need to be worried about. Santa sneaks back into the house and it looks like he's going to he's going to sneak up on there's one henchman, a woman named Candy Cane is like patrolling the house and it looks like he's gonna he's gonna sneak up on there's one
Starting point is 00:59:25 henchman a woman named candy cane is like patrolling the halls and it looks like he's about to sneak up behind her with some tinsel and strangle her but then he like knocks over a little bell or something and alerts everyone and so he gives away his position and he is ends up being cornered by three of them scrooge comes in and uh they're in now again the upstairs living room and so separate from everybody else and this is where scrooge is like well well well and he reveals his christmas trauma why he hates christmas so much he used to love christmas until he turned 11 and i actually can't remember what the bad thing was that happened you know when sometimes you're in a movie and you all of a sudden aren't
Starting point is 01:00:13 paying attention only for like five seconds and it's like oh fuck something just happened yeah it's like i'm staring at the screen and i'm looking at it but i must have just had a thought in my head that like overpowered me for momentarily. So I apologize. I don't know. I can't remember what his actual Christmas trauma is, but he's earning his Scrooge code name. And somewhere in here, Santa's listening to his sad story, his sad tale about how all of his Christmases were bad. And he says, Oh, Jimmy, I'm so sorry. And candy cane is like,
Starting point is 01:00:44 how did he know your name was Jimmy? You didn't tell him your name. And he's like, Sally, you've always been on the naughty list. Like when you punched your brother on his 11th birthday or something. And she's like, what the fuck? And then the other guy in the room, Gingerbread, is he's like, Stephen, you used to be good. Remember when I got you that bike? Like you loved that bike. And he's just saying these personal details from their lives that
Starting point is 01:01:10 candy cane and gingerbread are like, is this the real Santa? Scrooge is like, don't be idiots. And why is it that no matter when that happens in a movie, I love it. I don't care. It's like, can be the corniest, worst thing in the world. But when like someone is like, I know everything about you. I am magical. Yeah. I'm like, great salt. Yep. Uh, somewhere in here, I think they, they eventually start fighting and Santa is able to get away by touching his nose and going up that chimney. And it's while Scrooge's back is turned. So he doesn't see it. And in the commotion, the other two just kind of half see it, but they are already a little bit believing. And now they're like, that's the real Santa. That's the real Santa. And Scrooge is like, no, it's not. He obviously had some sort of pulley system that got him up there.
Starting point is 01:02:13 And downstairs, where the rest of the family is, we see there's one henchman named Krampus. And Krampus is making them all give Gertrude her presents. And I don't know. I guess we don't really need to talk about this scene so much, except that in, in this, uh, Jason sees an opportunity to be like, my present was in the car and I got to go get it. And Bert is like, no, it isn't. You brought it in. Like I see it right there. Like I'll get it. burt just really little idiot so dumb so dumb but so he hands gertrude the present from jason and it's a bottle of scotch her favorite scotch and she's opening the card and he seems very stressed by the fact that she's opening this card he's like you don't have to open the card don't open the card right now and she opens it
Starting point is 01:03:01 and she's reading it she gets a upset look on her face as she is reading it, but then composes herself by the end of it and smiles, says, thank you, Jason. Uh oh. And folds the card and puts it in her coat. So we don't know what that was, but something's going on there. And then Scrooge comes down. He's pissed off because they lost Santa. Santa's loose again. And
Starting point is 01:03:28 at this moment, the kill squad arrives. They look like a like a, I don't know, SEAL Team 6 type of thing. They're in like their white camo, you know, like snow camo. Ooh, snow camo. And they're all on snowmobiles and decked out in
Starting point is 01:03:43 machine guns and tech. And they're all on snowmobiles and decked out in uh machine guns and tech and they're looking like or gertrude is like they're here like you guys are so fucked you guys are about to die and morgan um is so excited by this that he jumps up and jumps out the window abandoning everybody to be like they're here to save us like bye and runs and runs out to the kill team kill squad and they stop and talk to him for a second they're like what's the situation in there and he explains it to them and then they just shoot him a bunch of times kill him yeah yeah so kill team is bad yeah they're in on it. They're in cahoots. And so Scrooge and Gingerbread and Candy Cane walk out to greet them.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And Scrooge says, we have a slight complication. There's a guy dressed as Santa who's out here somewhere. And he's been complicating things. And Candy Cane says, it might also be the real santa and uh we see santa is on the roof he pulls out his list his scroll looks at it and we sure enough have another like 30 or so naughty guys on this list all of these new arrivals are naughty they spot him on the roof and start shooting at him he uh jumps off the roof behind the house and takes cover in a tool shed and now there's like 30 or 40 men with guns like closing in on him really is feeling like this is the end of the
Starting point is 01:05:27 line for him he's on the walkie-talkie talking to trudy saying i'm i'm sorry i let you down i like i um i really tried and uh she says if you could have one wish what what would it be like you can't give up hope we got to like make a wish come true. What would your wish be? And he looks down at his wedding ring and he sees, he says, I wish I could see Mrs. Claus one more time. And he like takes off the wedding ring to like inspect it lovingly, but drops it and it rolls across the floor and lands at the base of a sledgehammer and in our viking flashback
Starting point is 01:06:08 we had seen his weapon of choice was a big old hammer sledgehammer thing hell yeah so he is good at using that to kill people great great so he grabs that he's gearing up for battle gonna go down swinging he pulls a big candy cane out of his pocket puts it in his mouth uh-huh is he gonna make it sharp everybody did that right you had to make everybody did that do you ever cut your own tongue on accident doing that maybe probably i definitely did kind of feels like there's no other way to eat a candy cane now you gotta make it sharp you gotta make it sharp and pointy and you gotta like stab yourself with it a little bit a little bit to test how sharp it gets you have to stack on it for a while and then go like nope could be sharper
Starting point is 01:07:00 also has anyone actually ever eaten like a full candy cane do you know what i mean like eating an entire candy it's too big this is a this is a super sized one too it's like extra thick which is gonna come in handy it's gonna be a good weapon but no you could never i used to love back to school shopping so much that i would tell my mom that i wanted to work at staples when i grew up because i just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. But this fall, there is something that I will be using every day
Starting point is 01:07:52 and would be terrified to be caught without. And that's Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to go on walks every day, and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts and I know you guys listen to podcasts as well so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe but they come in other cool colors as well like forest green and brush violet but my favorite thing about them is the battery life they stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function so 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery life really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk. You forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast.
Starting point is 01:08:54 It's only going to take you 10 minutes. It's incredible. So go to buyraycon.com slash too scary today to get 20 to 40% off site-wide. That's right. You'll get up to 40% off everything on Raycon's website when you go to buyraycon.com slash too scary. Buyraycon.com slash too scary. It would be impossible to finish this particular candy cane. So the kill team busts in and he is ready for them.
Starting point is 01:09:34 And we get a big actiony fight scene set piece. Is that what I was trying to say? Set piece is what you were gonna try to say and he is breaking legs like when you hit someone in the leg with the sledgehammer that leg is done for absolutely done for and so these are like you know this is the this is the type of violence where it's just like oh also it's all scored with christmas music of course so it's like a big holiday tune playing in the background that would be a good one no they're like cheerier than that they're not even
Starting point is 01:10:19 not even an ounce of the kind of existential dread dread of carol of the bells because some of those yeah some of those carols are terrifying that's why i like terrifying i only like the spooky ones so he is sledgehammering people he pulls out that very sharp candy cane stabs someone through the cheeks with it it goes in one cheek out the other cheek and there is all sorts of weapons in this tool shed he flips on a wood chipper and is like tossing people into the wood chipper but again it's like something it's obviously yes very violent but this tone of violence doesn't feel scary like it's just right yeah it's just action action and it's almost like all the blood is black type of thing like it doesn't look very
Starting point is 01:11:14 super real i think the kind of violence that is fun to watch like oh how'd they do that that's cool that looks that looks cool uh-huh and there is one he grabs ice skates from somewhere and he like puts them on his hands and he's like chopping people with ice skates and he punches with an ice skate hand someone right in the throat so it like slices through their neck and pins it against a wall and we see that person like stops like freezes in place and then the bottom half of the body slides down the wall hot dog style that time gross yep no thanks and meanwhile this is all going on the main kill team guy i can't remember his name and scrooge are at the vault and the kill team guy like has something to help open it because he technically works for the family he like had a
Starting point is 01:12:13 little key i don't know but um they're opening the vault and it has been emptied the money is not there oh no so they're curious and they storm into the main room and they're he's about to kill somebody he's like i'm so mad i just want to start killing people and bert one good thing he does is he says what if you shoot the only person who knows where it is and he's like okay that's a good point if i were him i'd be like okay i'll start with the kids so he he says the only people that would know would be people that are related by blood so he puts the gun to linda's head and he's like linda's not gonna know so i can kill her and uh oh somewhere in here. I think they're like trying to torture and tortured the information out of them. I think this might have happened earlier, but there's a lot of nutcrackers in this room.
Starting point is 01:13:14 And they take Jason and like put his finger in the nutcracker mouth and really clamp it real good. I don't know if I should even tell. That's so funny to do that when you have a gun. It's such a stupid thing. Yeah, but they have to use the Christmas decor. Sure, sure. I mean, they're having fun with it. This is everything that the Krampus thing was not.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Exactly. And there's like a really big nutcracker. And they're like, he's like, do his balls and do his balls. And then he'll talk. And so there's like do do his balls and do his balls and then he'll talk and so there's like a sequence of them coming at him and candy cane is like i'm not touching his balls and krampus is like i'll do it also like what are they gonna have to like have him sit back lift his legs they drape a ball inside the it would really be it would take a lot it's like a four-person job yeah it's a four someone's holding his legs up someone's holding his torso down
Starting point is 01:14:18 someone's lifting the penis up and someone's placing a ball in a nutcracker i just want us to take a minute and really and really think about the logistics of what that would be. Because it's very funny. It doesn't happen. His balls are safe. Well, yeah, it'd be too hard to do. It's too hard.
Starting point is 01:14:36 They're all like, you know what? That's actually a little too tricky. We can't quite figure it out. So they just put the gun to Linda's head and that makes Jasonason confess he took the money and that's what the car said and kind of what he was alluding to earlier in his conversation with we can run away yeah we can get away from all this and like never come back i don't feel like that's what linda meant no also do you really need all that money couldn't you just bring can
Starting point is 01:15:03 you steal like a very small portion of that money and you'd be good? Yeah. I mean, you would think it does seem awfully greedy. Yeah. An undetectable amount. Yeah. Perhaps.
Starting point is 01:15:15 So Jason is now taking the bad guys outside to where he hid the money in the nativity scene. How much? Isn't that 300 million dollars like take a lot of space though yes it's big it's like eight duffel bags okay got it um they're like hidden within the hay of the nativity scene under the hay and um somewhere in this so So so Santa has come out victorious of that fight where he just killed a bunch of the kill team guys. And he's spoken to Trudy again on the walkie talkie. And Trudy tells Santa that she made some Home Alone style booby trap.
Starting point is 01:15:59 She just watched Home Alone. And he's like, OK, stay safe. Like, I'm coming to you. I'm coming to get you. And we see Candy Cane and Gingerbread approaching the attic. It's the ladder has been lowered. And at the base of the ladder is a board filled with nails pointing up like a whole bunch of nails and then on one of the rungs of the ladder there's a nail pointing up hate it hate it and gingerbread's kind of laughing he's like little girl you know for booby traps to be effective they have to be hidden thinking he's got a real one up on her and he goes to climb up that ladder avoiding the nail obviously but she has sawed in
Starting point is 01:16:50 half the bottom rung so he puts his foot on it and he falls down chin onto the nail oh that's this sequence i think is was the hardest to watch you know when you have to like clench your butt cheeks because it's like, ooh. You know it's bad. You know it's bad. I was doing that for the next five minutes, everything that happens in here. That is a damn good booby trap, though. It's very good.
Starting point is 01:17:15 And then Candy Cane climbs over him and is trying to get up there and like pokes her head out in into the attic and we see that trudy has a bunch of bowling balls up there that she is now throwing at them and candy cane is able to dodge them but they're now smacking oh that ginger gingerbread and he it like he lifts his chin up to like get off because he can't move with that. So he finally gets it off. But then gross, gross. A bowling ball hits him and knocks him back onto that bed of nails, that board filled with nails. And he gets that right in the butt. In the butt.
Starting point is 01:17:59 In the butt. And then he gets back up. It's a lot of blood. And there's one nail like still sticking in his butt. And he takes back up it's a lot of blood and there's one nail like still sticking in his butt and he takes it out to look at it he like holds it in front of his eye like a fucking idiot like right in front of his head and a bowling ball falls down and knocks it right into his skull kills him pretty good booby trap yeah this is great damn good booby trap. Yeah, this is great. It's a damn good booby trap. It's a booby trap.
Starting point is 01:18:26 So now Candy Cane is in there with Trudy and she, we're out of bowling balls now, but she steps on to a section of super glue. Trudy has poured super glue all over the floor and she is struggling and then falls back and then pulls herself back up but it pulls off like her the back of her scalp basically what the fuck it's a really strong super glue ew and ew ew ew she take has to take her shoes off to be able to get Trudy. And so she's like menacingly coming towards Trudy. And Trudy's now got a little slingshot and she's shooting shit at her.
Starting point is 01:19:17 That's like not super effective because she's lost all of her heavy stuff now. And Candy Cane is just like enough of this. Pulls out her gun. Points it at Trudy. Is about to shoot her. And then bam saved by Santa. Santa's up there. Santa's was coming to get her. And Trudy does, uh, what I would, I would refer to as a who'd you a hug, a hug jump. It's a bachelor term. Well, a game of roses term, um, a really excellent whoju. She jumps, leaps into his arms full. We would say like a strong mount, ankle, ankle lock. No, she doesn't get ankle lock cause her
Starting point is 01:19:58 legs are too short and he's too big, but it's a, it's a good whojuoo and again i think we get a good ho ho ho he's like oh and uh he sets her down and he told tells her to cover her eyes and plug her ears and sing jingle bells as loud as she can because candy cane is still alive and he has to bash her head and so he does just that so now the bad guys have the money and they scrooge orders sends the order over the um walkie-talkie to kill all the hostages now they've got what they came for and linda alva and bert are the only ones left in the main room. And only Krampus is in there with them. And so he gets the order, pulls up his gun. But Alva pushes him back into the fireplace. And he doesn't like fall into the fireplace.
Starting point is 01:20:58 But it throws him off for long enough that they are able to grab all of the fire poker tools you know how the little fire it's like four different things you've got the little shovel you got the little broom you got the little poker poker is the best one fire poker my weapon of choice and they each grab one and they start beating the shit out of him And they think that he's dead. But then, of course, he has one more little like still alive. And Alva, who has the actual poker, pokes him right through the throat. Kills him. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:39 The assortment of weapons in this film. Basically, any weapon of choice. I feel like it's going to be in here. Like there's guns, there's knives, sledgehammers, firepokers Ice skates, wood chippers Wood chippers Pretty good selection Nutcrackers Nails
Starting point is 01:21:54 And we're going to get some more There's even more weapons to come Ornaments Everything is weapon The star, Christmas star That's right Have we found out what their family business is by the way christmas star that's right uh so now have we have we found out what their family business is by the way is that revealed do we know what they it's referenced
Starting point is 01:22:11 that she has the money from some sort of oil the money is stolen the money was supposed to be like government like hush money for some oil company that she stole because it was like illegal for them to be buying in the first place so they couldn't it's it's never fully explained but they're that's like the only brief explanation we get so they're in some kind of criminal criminal family organization seems seems like some stuff is above board and some stuff not so much. And so now Trudy and Santa join the three of them, Linda, Alva and Bert in the living room. They're all like excited that Santa is there. They just they knew that someone dressed as Santa was like helping kill these people and like seems to be on their side. So they're not like freaked out by him which i
Starting point is 01:23:06 feel like maybe would be but they're they're relieved it's like feels like he's here to help us and so we'll focus on that for now he asks if any of them know how to use a gun alva says she used to go hunting with her dad so they like they arm her up and we're now going outside to the nativity scene where the rest of the bad guys are and alva's shooting at them santa's sneaking up on the side and attacking them and uh more good fights in here i can't i can't remember if there were any good standout moments in these fights but they win this fight but the three main bad guys or two main bad guys and one other guy get away with all of the money on their snowmobiles now all of our group is together all of our good guys are all together and we see a little a little um romantic moment between linda
Starting point is 01:23:59 and jason all of this commotion has maybe made them realize you know life is precious and so they kiss and is this gonna are they reconnecting is Trudy's Christmas wish going to come true seems like magic is real magic is real all you have to do is believe all you have to do is believe so Santa is now chasing Scrooge and other guy and uh and the third guy he knocks off his snowmobile and that guy like pulls out a grenade and is about to hand it to or like throw it at santa and santa grabs it out of his hand which is i guess a good move for a grenade is to like immediately snatch it and so that your finger is on the little pin and he shoves it down the guy's shirt, the back of his shirt. And it's like, you know, those big uniforms, it's like
Starting point is 01:24:54 heavy stuff. And he can't, he can't reach it. He's trying to reach it, but can't get it. Santa's running away. But then he says, I got to watch this turns around. We see the guy blow up. to watch this. Turns around, we see the guy blow up. And so now we know that Scrooge and one other bad guy remain. Santa continues his pursuit and finds Scrooge and they have their little showdown. Scrooge tricks Santa to hit something on a snowmobile so that he like flies into there. All his stuff goes everywhere. And Scrooge picks up his list, his scroll, and opens it. And his name comes up, Jimmy or whatever his last name is, and says naughty. And it lists all these reasons.
Starting point is 01:25:39 It'd be fun to pause the movie on the because I couldn't read them all in time. But right. All the reasons that comes up i think one of the reasons on jimmy's list was that he killed his brother oh my god that's fucked up that's definitely naughty super naughty i'll call that naughty that's so naughty that's bad what you did to your brother murder is crazy naughty of you too naughty um and this list kind of tilts the scales for screwed or it's like what pushes scrooge into now believing like holy shit this is actually santa he also at some point in here finds
Starting point is 01:26:22 or like santa's sack also flies into the air he picks that up and he can see the like portal so the sack seems somewhat empty but you just reach in a little portal opens and a gift comes out and so clearly this is mad these are magical items you can't deny it so now he's like you're the real santa i get to kill s. Like he's so excited because he hates Christmas so much. He's like, I can kill you. And I get to end this holiday forever, which is such a crazy thing to say because you didn't even think he existed until right now.
Starting point is 01:26:58 So like, obviously it's not going to change the holiday. Nobody thinks Santa is real. And the holiday persists. But he's excited to kill Santa. He grabs his sack and tosses it in a fire. Santa screams in anguish. He's not anguish. He's sad.
Starting point is 01:27:18 He's upset. Those are all the kids' gifts. There's going to be some disappointed kids in the morning. And now Scrooge is gearing up for a fight and he grabs a pick ax. It's just also a pretty good weapon. Yeah. And he's got on like spiky snowshoes, which are scary.
Starting point is 01:27:36 They have like spikes in all directions. I've never seen shoes like that in my life. It's probably the scariest shoes I've ever seen. And they fight hand-to-hand combat santa i don't think has his sledgehammer anymore and santa is not faring well in this fight he gets stabbed with that pickaxe like in the arm and i think in the stomach, like, it's looking bad. And they're coming up on this chimney. This is like an abandoned little stone cottage for some reason that they're fighting in. And they're coming up against the chimney. And Scrooge takes the pickaxe and stabs it through Santa's hand, pinning it to the wall.
Starting point is 01:28:24 And is about to take, he has like a the wall and is about to take, he has like a regular knife and is about to stab him. And the only way Santa can stop it is he rips his hand through the knife. So many movies are doing that lately. Everyone all of a sudden decided they could split a hand hot dog style and everyone's doing it. I hate it. It must not be hot dog style. Cause's doing it i hate it it must not be hot dog style because we don't see like a fucked up hand afterwards he probably just like it's a clean
Starting point is 01:28:50 hole maybe went up like threw up yeah like pulled his hand up through it so there's like a big hole in his hand um but it's nasty and he then is like grabs scrooge and Scrooge says something like Christmas ends tonight. Like some dramatic line like that. And Santa's like almost embracing him. And he says, not if you believe. And he touches his nose because they're right next to a fucking chimney. And he like sucks Scrooge in the chimney with him. But Scrooge does.
Starting point is 01:29:30 I mean, yeah, Scrooge does not have these same magical powers. And so Santa is able to like wedge him immediately, like in a matter of seconds, like drag him through this chimney. And so Santa appears at the top of the chimney with a bloody torso gross gross gross gross gross i really laughed though in the theater i really wasn't expecting that's a very fun move very fun kill i would i'll say like this movie did well just using all of the elements around like they use the whole buffalo they use the whole buffalo everything is everything is incorporated it feels creative in that way i did like that yeah that's probably the i was the only
Starting point is 01:30:11 one laughing in the theater at that part it's just like it was more just from shock uh oh man it was good it was good it got me good um and got me good. Um, and in the Wikipedia, I was going through the Wikipedia when I was taking notes and it says he eviscerates Scrooge and eviscerates was hyperlinked. And I was like, that's interesting. And I clicked, I clicked eviscerates and I didn't know that it means disembowel yeah oh i didn't know that it means it linked to the article on disembowelment and what a good link were there pictures i don't think so that's a relief i should add some it's crowd crowd stories to throw some in there i sort of just equated it my mind to like destroy yes me too like just completely demolish yeah yeah but i guess it means disembowel which he didn't really
Starting point is 01:31:11 disembowel scrooge he disenskinned him he squeezed he squeezed him real tight though so maybe those balls came out so tight yeah and like rubbed him yeah he got like chafed he's chafed to death yeah yeah chafed to death we've all been there what if eviscerated meant chafed to death that was the link i mean no matter what it meant i would be interested to know your core just absolutely rubbed down rubbed down to death so gross so santa has this triumphant moment of defeating scrooge leaps down from the chimney and is immediately shot in the chest oh no the remaining bad guy no don't remember his name santa can't die he's he's been like stabbed a couple times he's he's now been shot what looks like in a pretty bad spot and he's like falling to his knees it's looking not good and i mean he must be able to die because he's been seemingly fighting
Starting point is 01:32:21 for his life a lot you know that's true that's 1100 years, you know, it's like no one's killed him in that time. Yeah. I guess not. I mean, think about it. Most people don't like get murdered. You know what I mean? No matter how it's not like the longer you're alive. I mean, I guess you risk for everything goes up.
Starting point is 01:32:37 But, you know, it's not an inevitability that at some point someone would murder you. And I feel like he's living a lot of the time at the North Pole. Yeah, he only comes out one day a year to be around people. Yeah, but he's also breaking into people's houses in the middle of the night. I feel like that also probably increases your chances of being murdered. That is true. That is a whiskey one day a year to do for a thousand years. Yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Really good point. That's a good point. Really good point. And right after this man shoots Santa, Gertrude appears and shoots this man in the head in a very Matrix dodge this type of moment. Now the rest of the family is all running out to this part of the woods and they're all back together. Trudy is crying. See Santa runs to like hug him. It's like Santa, Santa. And Santa's being very sweet with her. Like we did it, Trudy. They're all, they're all gone. Like you're going to be safe. Oh no. And I just feel like as a parent,
Starting point is 01:33:39 wouldn't you be so weirded out right at this moment? Like who is this man embracing my daughter when did you build a relationship with her at one point yeah yeah what the fuck is going on this man just killed like 30 to 40 men and is now having some sort of secret relationship with my daughter yeah they seem not concerned at all in a way that i've found not realistic but it's it's good that they're not concerned because there is actually nothing to be concerned about he's the real santa and he's a good guy he's a good guy exactly exactly that's correct and he he is dying he is for sure dying and wow he's he tells to he tells them he feels cold for the first time in more than a thousand years. And it's like snowing. It's very cold out.
Starting point is 01:34:30 And he Trudy's crying like we got to keep him warm. We got to keep him warm. And they say there's nothing to burn. There's no all of the wood is wet out here. And what's Jason? Jason, Jason, Jason's like, I have an idea. Goes and grabs the fucking duffel bag. No.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Wait, money. And starts lighting that money on fire. And Alva's out here. And this is where I feel like these kinds of moments is where Edie Patterson really shines or she's just like, you fucking kidding me right now. Just to save Santa. What the fuck she's like he's basically dead already anyways come on this is crazy and it is crazy i think it's also crazy to be clear it's definitely crazy and so they
Starting point is 01:35:20 light all the money on fire not all of it one duffel bags worth okay and i think there's like you know duffel bags several million dollars tens of millions yeah and so um they light it and he dies oh my god and alva is so mad like well i'm happy like we just burned like yeah 10 million dollars for his final moments right there and trudy's crying like he can't die he can't die like if we all believe in him he won't die which is an interesting conclusion to arrive at but guess what it fucking works oh my god they go around one at a time and say i believe i believe in santa wait isn't that what tinkerbell demands too is that tinkerbell like i believe in fairies or something like that yeah something like that yes and it does i think track that santa's magic
Starting point is 01:36:19 works stronger the more belief in him people have he's like isn't that what happens in the santa claus his sled his sleigh only works when everybody believes this is what i'm saying all christmas movies are the same that's literally they're all this it's also so funny to be like i believe in the thing right in front of me literally seeing yeah it's like yeah yeah duh what are you talking about what if someone's like i don't know i don't buy it it's literally here yeah so you just need them he had verbal confirmation we should all communicate our feelings true he's able to come back from the dead.

Starting point is 01:39:07 I had a good time. I think it's pretty fun. David Harbour is a great Santa. It's ridiculous. Yeah, that's super fun. Honestly, it's a lot more Christmas spirit-y than I would have thought. Same. It's like not a horror movie. It's kind of wholesome.

I would not call it a horror movie it's a it's kind of a happy wholesome movie yes a hundred percent i would not call it a horror movie but it is like an action christmas movie great hell yeah i loved it die hard you've got some competition i guess there's a lot of die hard 2 references in this because i don't remember this but john leguizamo is also in die hard 2 oh i haven't seen die hard 2 me either really no just the original you know what i think i have seen it i think i have seen it this but John Leguizamo is also in Die Hard 2.

Starting point is 01:40:46 I think I'll watch it but I really don't like that booby trap stuff I don't even like it in Home Alone The booby trap stuff was tough I've never seen Home Alone and it made me I think I don't want to see it You just got on about Die Hard 2 And you've never seen Home Alone
Starting point is 01:41:02 There's I feel like a lot of movies I've never seen Well obviously that's true for everybody but I haven't seen like I mean you hate Christmas movies yeah I don't like Christmas movies and I feel like that era of movies of like family movies I was like not watching family movies at that time sure but Home Alone is a classic. We're going to have to do Home Alone. You should watch Home Alone tonight and I'll watch Die Hard 2. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Cool! Okay. But I'm like, the booby trap stuff, I've seen the part where he gets electrocuted and you see his skull,
Starting point is 01:41:33 his skeleton. Yeah, that part's fun. The booby, there's like a nail part, obviously, but like, you know, it's not terrible. Okay. You can do it. Okay. Great.
Starting point is 01:41:47 Oh, wow. You did a really good job recapping that when you just saw it in the theater. I'm like very impressed. I'm very impressed. As always. When I see action like scenes in a movie, they just wash over me. I mean, I cannot tell you like a breakdown. It is harder to recap.
Starting point is 01:42:01 Yeah. Yeah. It's nice that there's inventive things happening in the fights because usually it's like they just kind of fight and one person has the upper hand and then this person wins but it's like there's enough interesting kills in the fights that it made it a little easier to be like well he decapitates someone with an ice skate i do remember that yeah sure skates were fun ice skates are a weapon and they are terrifying so scared going ice skating because i'm just like i'm gonna fall and kill myself remember that yeah sure skates were fun ice skates are a weapon and they are terrifying they're scary
Starting point is 01:42:25 i'm so scared going ice skating because i i'm just like i'm gonna fall and kill myself i'm gonna fall onto the bottom of my foot that's what it feels like i am constantly falling onto the bottom of my foot and this would be the worst time to land face down on the bottom of your foot. I'm always doing that. So it's just really scary to go ice skating. This is really scary. Um,
