Hey all, anyone have a suggestion for a Christmas or holiday-themed movie for us to discuss on the show next month? We have covered ‘The Ice Harvest’ & ‘The Ref’ previously and I did a video on ‘Trapped in Paradise’. Any movies you know of that are similar to those ones?

Mixed nuts would be a good one, you guys could talk about Steve Martin.

Or there’s the Elliot Gould movie The Silent Partner

Caleb Clements

The Silent Partner (1978) it’s a Christmas set crime thriller starring Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer as the villain, and has a very early performance by John Candy. You guys would absolutely love it!

Jesse Shade

Mixed Nuts, Violent Night, Krampus, or the 1989 French movie that allegedly inspired Home Alone, DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUS

Scott Ruisch

Night of the Comet -- I thought it was a New Years movie but a friend set me straight, it kicks off at Christmas.

Demetreas Andrews

The first thought I had was the Family Man, but I think that's only because Nicolas Cage is in it also. On Her Majesty's Secret Service if you want to torture yourself

Sidetracks

Great suggestion. Really enjoyed this one when I saw it years ago

Reindeer games, Krampus, and Family Stone. Would be worth hearing you talk about

Mary and Steve

It’s been a while since I listened to your Bakshi episodes, did you guys cover Christmas in Tattertown?

Gavin Fitzgerald

Rover dangerfield, hook, mixed nuts (you guys could talk about nora ephron), a simple plan and the bonus episode be hudsucker proxy

Vincent Pryce

Black Christmas (1974), Scrooged (1988), Batman Returns (1992), Trading Places (1983), Christmas Vacation (1989), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005), Gremlins & Gremlins 2, The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

"A Christmas Memory" (1966) - the original, narrated by Truman Capote himself! It's available on YouTube now (in color). Runs under an hour. Very heartwarming.

Thomas Bishop

Dude, Blast of Silence (1961). The last great of the classic Noir era. Such great memories catching a beautiful looking version it on TCM, and just a movie that makes you want to talk about it.

Some Guy

Dutch. Jack Frost (either horror or family). Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Long Kiss Goodnight.

The One and Rory

Since yourself & Ryan have been talking about anime on the podcast, why not check out Tokyo Godfathers?

Anthony Hoffman

The Hebrew Hammer or Reindeer Games. The former is hilarious while the latter is hilarious unintentionally.
