Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's your radio home at Pittsburgh Steelers on a two
point five DVE. And while of course we're looking forward
very much to the game this Sunday at Ford Field
in Detroit, it's also Christmas time and that means Christmas movies.
And who better to have here to talk about those
than our friend from Pittsburgh Magazine, Sean Collier, movie reviewer
extraordinaire and a longtime regular here on the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And you know, somewhere between Scrooge and Grinch. But hey,
I can find the season a little bit this time
of year, usually with the aid of the movies. So
I've asked you to compile something.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Everybody has their best of Christmas lists, so I want
to hear a quick rundown for your best of But
what I really want to hear because this is what
I think is the more necessary component of Christmas movie reviewing.
He overlooked Christmas movies, the hidden gems. They go hand
(00:56):
in hand, because yes, it starts for me, It starts
with the Holy Trinity, which can expand into a Holy
quintet as necessary. You know, Father's Son, Holy Ghost, Mary,
and Saint Peter throw them in there.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Why the hell not. The trinity is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,
die Hard, It's a wonderful life. I think that's the
when you need inspiration, you go to die Hard when
you needed to laugh, you go to the Griswolds when
you need the Christmas spirit.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And to be clear, the Christmas spirit is Scotch. You'd
go to Scotch for.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The three belts of Scotch you put on. It's a
wonderful life. You start bawling like baby. That's the trinity.
If we expand it to the Holy Quintet. I throw
in mup at Christmas, Carol Oh, because Gonzo is a
better Charles Dickens than Charles Dickens himself. And home alone
because at this time of year we fantasize about having
(01:50):
a legally defensible excuse to blow torch some bad guy's head.
That's what we really want. That's the core. I think
every year you should get to Christmas vacation, die Hard,
wonderful life. Probably the up it's probably home alone.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Okay? Can I buy yank the wheel? Sure?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Before we get to the next part of this home
alone two? How do we feel about home alone? Two?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We don't need it it's still a Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's has its moments, but it's nowhere near the level
of the first one. The Home Alone two is you
started Home Alone at seven point thirty. You're not quite
ready for bed yet. Let it play to the next
movie while you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, it's fundamentally How do you even justify a parent
doing that to a kid twice?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah? I mean that's all I can I can't get
past that part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Did you know one cast member of that movie has
been impeached twice by the Congress. That's irrelevant? Yes, yeah,
that nonwithstanding. Right, No, it's a it's a little much.
The original stands on its own.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I think. Okay, but there's a long week ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You've got presents to wrap, cookies to bake, mild yet
inevitable family disputes to officiate. You may need to go deeper.
These are the next steps from the big ones. You
watch Christmas Vacation, you think I want more of iconic comedy,
a holes getting their come upance, So you go to Scrooge.
(03:16):
Scrooge should be an automatic watch. It is so damn good. Yes,
it's so funny, and everyone in it is so fun
Bobcat Goldthwaite is hilarious, perfect Buster Poindexter is hilarious. He
actually is very good in that. David Johansson absolutely nails it.
Carol Caine is hilarious and really beats the hell out
(03:37):
of Bill Murray.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Did you know that? Yes, she when.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
She grabs his lip, she tore his lip off, like
she told she injured him. They had to stop filming
for a couple of days. That's the kind of pain
and suffering I need in the holiday season.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Fun fact, the line producer on that movie, the guy
who make sure they run everything on budget, Pittsburgh, Zonne
don Lee, and he has told me many stories of
the filming of that movie, and one such is they
were driving down the West Side Highway in New York
City in in a like a town car, he and
Bill Murray after they were you know, in by being
(04:11):
partners who would like to search out the local Irish establishment,
and they got into a fist fight and pulled over
and beat the hell out of each other along the
West Side Highway there in New York. And it delayed
filming because Bill had a few injuries from that. But
so everyone was beating Bill Murray up in the lay film.
But they they are like like true irishmen. They had
(04:34):
no problem with that happening. They held no grudges, like, ah, yeah,
we beat each other up and see you tomorrow night, right, Yeah.
They They and Bill Murray did an interview afterwards and
he was asked what like years later and asked what
was one of his favorite movies to film, And everyone
always assumes he's gonna say Caddyshack, And he said Scrooged
because Don Lee and I, who was a priester on
the movie, had the best time ever. So that's Sean
(04:55):
Lee's uncle, who is, you know, part of what made
that movie so great.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My opinion, it all comes back to Pittsburgh always. In
that case, it comes back to New York. If it's
nineteen eighty seven and you see Bill Murray in a
fistfight on the side of the road, you don't even flinch.
You're like, oh, yeah, ye, it's a normal Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
There's the Chrysler building and there's Bill Murray fighting a
big guy from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Speaking of it all comes back to Pittsburgh, or at
least western Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You watch It's a wonderful life.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You want more of Indiana's own Jimmy Stewart, Yes, go
to the shop around the corner.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I like this movie. I think a lot of people.
It's on HBO Max right now. It doesn't have quite
the Christmas spirit, like the thing that happens to you
when you watch It's a wonderfly but it's a really
good movie.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It happens in the store during the Christmas shopping season. Yeah,
that plants it in Christmas enough to count it. But
what occurred to me watching it there? So him and
Margaret Sullivan both work in the shop. They can't stand
each other. They don't know that their secret pen pals,
and they're falling in love with their secret pen pals.
(06:05):
So this is just every Hallmark Christmas movie, but with
actors in it.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, that's the distinction.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Imagine like getting catfish back in the day, requiring a
lot more Like there was an actual letter writing that occurred, postage,
you had to buy a flower, to put an in
your lapel, to go to a place to maybe see
a person.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I love Jimmy Stewart and he's so Christmas coded because
of it's a wonderful life that this is just a
nice just a nice time, particularly if you do watch
all those Hallmark boops.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I like the fact.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The reason I like watching old movies is because it's
time travel and you get to go back and see
what it was like and how people talk to each other.
And I get that movies weren't exactly an accurate representation
of the lexicon being used, and particularly.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
This one, which is set in Budapest and features twelve
different non Hungarian accents.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But other than that, that is very true.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But yes, it is a nice flashback, yes to all
the way to nineteen forty But if you're not an
old movie person, again, the Hallmark thing prepares you for
the way this one goes.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You watch Home Alone.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You want more mayhem, you go to Black Christmas from
nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I have never seen this.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Many regarded as the first slasher movie before Halloween because
it's sorority girls are getting picked off one by one,
the co eds are turning up code dead. Will anyone
be left by New Year? Margo Kidder's in it, Olivia
Hussey is in it. Directed by Bob Clark. You know
what he made ten years later? A Christmas story that's
(07:35):
the same character Black Christmas and a Christmas story. He
had the murder Christmas so he could save it. That's
range you have to like horror movies. But it's really
atmospheric and really creepy.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Andrea Martin from SETV is in that as well. That's
kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
John Saxon, who went on to be the Dad Knight,
maryn elm Street and Horror Icon on his own.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It has a great cast.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's really the first one where hey, there's a bunch
of young people and they're going one by one and
we don't know who the killer is.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So long but four years before Halloween.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think if you haven't watched it and you like
a horror movie, holiday horror is its own genre.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I was just gonna say, there's so many, Yeah, Christmas
horror movies now most of them are bad or just cheesy.
Silent Night, Deadly Night. Oh, there's like four of those
Christmas Evil, Christmas Bloody, Christmas, New Year's Evil. There's one
called Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh that's the Eli Roth. Remember it came out.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh yeah, I thought it might have just been an
accurate portrayal of what happened.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Right and Violent Night, which is the one with David
Harbor and Beverly d'angelo's. That's what she was promoting when
she called into this show and fell asleep. Oh yeah,
that's right, she fell asleep on the show. No greater
compliment like somebody burping after you cook them dinner. She
feels so comfortable with you. Yeah that she just fell
right as sick. Her second holiday classic. If we go
(09:00):
to classic, you watch Muppet Christmas Carol. You want more absurdity,
here's a twist. You go to Batman Returns. That is
a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
How it is? It's set at Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
This is where the Penguin and Christopher walk and are
giving everyone presents that blow up or kill them ors.
I always forget what actually happens the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman one.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But it is they like the Gotham Christmas Tree.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Right, that happens at the beginning. It's set at Christmas
and is Christmas themed. The line between the Muppets and
Tim Burton in Goofy mode does not exist. That is
the same category. So Muppet Christmas and Batman Returns absolutely
works as a double feature for me. Finally, you watch
Die Hard. You need more holiday action, You need that
(09:44):
feeling of energized Christmas spirit you get from John McClain.
What do you do next? Where can you go? You
watch die Hard too?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Also Christmas movie?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, the is die Hard at Christmas movie is so
set that debate is so settled that I'm moving onto
the sequel. Die Hard two is also a Christmas movie.
He's at the airport to pick up his wife who's
coming home for Christmas. It's got the hustle and bustle,
and he's got to stop the terrorists to save Christmas.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Again, it keeps happening to him. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, And I'm on record many times on the show
saying this, Diehard is a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That narrative, to me is just like Russia is our ally.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Really really, if we say it enough times, does it
make it true?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's not a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It takes place at Christmas, and that can't be the
parameter for what makes up a Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well, do we want to get into a long academic
discussion of the difference between genre and style.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Well, if we do, we want people to pay for it. Yeah,
exactly on stage, you have to at the theater or
charge it. I mean, what a ccac professor's get paid.
We could do a whole course on his Diehard a
Christmas movie, I think talking major in that there.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, die Hard two is a stretch, but die Hard
it starts with a Christmas song. Everything about it is
tied up in Christmas. He's only there. Like all the
great Christmas movies, all the great Christmas movies are about
earning Christmas through trials, Christmas vacation, getting through all of
the menace Christmas story. It's always about I have to
(11:20):
get through all of this to get to my Christmas
that I need and want.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And what's more that than die Hard? Lethal Weapon also
takes place for Christmas. Yeah, I guess that's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You know, there's a lot of movies that would qualify
in the bad but not that bad Christmas movies like
Jingle All the Way. Sure, Fred Claus, I'm gonna go
ahead and say The Holdovers is a Christmas movie, and
oh yeah, absolutely love it.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, outstanding, But that's actually a great movie. That one
doesn't qualify. Also, Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart just friends.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I don't think I've ever seen that one.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
How have you not seen that? One just friends. I don't.
I didn't, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
This is a thing that people like Jacob. I need
you to corroborate this for me. Ryan Reynolds, Amy smart,
he's getting, You're forgetting the best character.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Honna Ferris is Benna.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Ferris plays like a Britney Spears type of character, and
she's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
As she did in Lost in translation. That's thing.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
For a while, Mark Madden would have corroborated this too.
This is his one of his favorite Christmas moves. And
I can't believe when I asked him yesterday he forgot
about that highest recommendation.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Ryan Reynolds to me is like I can take him
or leave him. But in this he's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I will throw it on the list. And if you
need one more, if your horny watch Eyes Wide Shut.
Also a Christmas movie that's it's between you and your God,
whether or not that's part of your holiday season. But
that's things go bad at the Christmas part and he
has to go on a whole sex odyssey to deal
with it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
What about Office Christmas Party? That's funny.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, another bad, not that bad Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You need a certain category that you throw on with
no intention of paint, no intention of paying attention to
do that to.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So many movies all the time. Yeah, where you just.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I want them as wallpaper in the background so they
can walk through and look at a scene and chuckle.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's how the Christmas Story twenty four hours happen. You know,
you're doing other stuff. Yeah, you can catch a little
bit of this here and there. Yeah, are you?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Are you just so over a Christmas story at this point?
Has it been too much that we lost? Is it
like hearing Black Dog? You're like, I forget why I
like this? I you know what I really loved. If
you want a Christmas road trip, you can go to
the Christmas Story House in Cleveland. Yeah, and you can pose,
you can hide under the sink, and you can stand
with the can of Simonis.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
And that's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's just I feel like I know every second of
it before it happens, and there's some really good bits
in there. But I don't need to sit down and
watch it any Yeah, I kind of I'm kind of
there with you. Elf is the same way. It's on cable,
practically on a loop for two months, and it's like yeah,
I know, I know he'd like syrup in a spaghetti.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's no shock to it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And yeah, right, well, wishing you and Mary Beth and
the rest of the call your clan the happiest of holidays.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And thanks so much for everything all year round, all
the time. Thank you, thank you for letting me yammer
about movies. And I'll be back to do it after
I get some sleep, dear God. Yeah, yeah, and so
nothing to pimp for over the holidays. Oh well, after
you're sick of your family. Christmas is on a Thursday,
you know, so by Sunday you're going to be done
with everybody. So come down to the Harris Theater for
(14:37):
the Steel City Horror Show. It is a seasonal choice.
Our surprise film is a seasonal choice with a very
special Pittsburgh Icon as our special guest. That is seven
thirty pm Sunday, the twenty eight. Is it a surprise?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
A lot to know before you get there.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, it's always a surprise movie. It is an unannounced film.
We'll hint at it, but we won't tell you what
we're showing until you get there. Okay, Well, when you
say the pitch guy in horror movies. Two people come
to mind, Well we've had we've had Tom Savini before. Okay,
that crosses off. There's another Tom that comes to mind.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Well, we're on.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Constant ongoing negotiations with this one. But not a Pittsburgh
horror icon. I'll say that christa we like to bring in.
We had Addie Twig. We had Addie Twigg come down
to sing the uh nightmre on ELM Street theme song.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
One month.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
We had Rick Seabeck come down to talk about filming
at the place where they made Carnival Souls. We like
to bring in the Pittsburgh favorites and tie them in somehow.

to check them out. It is super cool and they've
got all kinds of super talented people here in an
unbelievable facility, Little Giant Studios. Check them out here with
Clinton Klegig from the common Heart, and we've been telling
people all morning, man, the big show is this coming,
Well not this coming, but it's a next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
The twenty seventh.
Speaker 18 (25:41):
Yeah, right after Christmas, the Saturday, you know, twenty seventh.
It's perfect Christmas present.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
By the way, that's a great idea common Heart tickets. Yeah,
I mean, you know, stocking stuffer, it's perfect. Yeah, it's perfect.
Guitar Zak is going to be on the bill with
you guys.
Speaker 18 (25:56):
So glad to have him on board. I'm been a
huge fan for years and we got him.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I like, do you have him on because I don't
think that guitar Zach gets enough recognition. He's one of
the most unusually talented musicians I've ever seen anywhere, not
just in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 18 (26:10):
Yeah, he's a phenom. It's just great stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, and he's been a friend of the show for
like twenty years. I mean that kid was playing in
our shows when he was like fifteen years old back
in the day.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
He's a phenom.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And it makes this show even more special, especially since
there's a charitable component to it in benefiting the Greater
Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (26:28):
I'd love to remind everybody, well, we will be accepting
non perishable donations at the show, and you know, if
you can't swing that, we'll be actually going to give
away a bunch of mersh for some cash donations too.
So we're just trying to do everything we can to
raise some funds for the food banks.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
All right, what are we going to hear right now
from you guys?
Speaker 18 (26:45):
We're going back to the old school. One of our
first times ever on DV we played this show. So

Thanks to you and the common Heart for unbelievable set
of tunes here sharing them with the DV audience all
morning long.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Thank you so much for having.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Us Wherever you're driving, DVE has everything you need for
the drive. Chad Tyson Roth Spitsburgh weekday afternoons on DVEV.
He also has a reloaded cut from the DVE Morning
Show and Sports News Look. There's a road sign up ahead,
it says Chad Tyson afternoons on DVE Unwrap
It's your radio home at Pittsburgh Steelers on a two
point five DVE. And while of course we're looking forward
very much to the game this Sunday at Ford Field
in Detroit, it's also Christmas time and that means Christmas movies.
And who better to have here to talk about those
than our friend from Pittsburgh Magazine, Sean Collier, movie reviewer
extraordinaire and a longtime regular here on the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And you know, somewhere between Scrooge and Grinch. But hey,
I can find the season a little bit this time
of year, usually with the aid of the movies. So
I've asked you to compile something.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Everybody has their best of Christmas lists, so I want
to hear a quick rundown for your best of But
what I really want to hear because this is what
I think is the more necessary component of Christmas movie reviewing.
He overlooked Christmas movies, the hidden gems. They go hand
(00:56):
in hand, because yes, it starts for me, It starts
with the Holy Trinity, which can expand into a Holy
quintet as necessary. You know, Father's Son, Holy Ghost, Mary,
and Saint Peter throw them in there.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Why the hell not. The trinity is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,
die Hard, It's a wonderful life. I think that's the
when you need inspiration, you go to die Hard when
you needed to laugh, you go to the Griswolds when
you need the Christmas spirit.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And to be clear, the Christmas spirit is Scotch. You'd
go to Scotch for.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The three belts of Scotch you put on. It's a
wonderful life. You start bawling like baby. That's the trinity.
If we expand it to the Holy Quintet. I throw
in mup at Christmas, Carol Oh, because Gonzo is a
better Charles Dickens than Charles Dickens himself. And home alone
because at this time of year we fantasize about having
(01:50):
a legally defensible excuse to blow torch some bad guy's head.
That's what we really want. That's the core. I think
every year you should get to Christmas vacation, die Hard,
wonderful life. Probably the up it's probably home alone.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Okay? Can I buy yank the wheel? Sure?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Before we get to the next part of this home
alone two? How do we feel about home alone? Two?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We don't need it it's still a Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's has its moments, but it's nowhere near the level
of the first one. The Home Alone two is you
started Home Alone at seven point thirty. You're not quite
ready for bed yet. Let it play to the next
movie while you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, it's fundamentally How do you even justify a parent
doing that to a kid twice?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah? I mean that's all I can I can't get
past that part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Did you know one cast member of that movie has
been impeached twice by the Congress. That's irrelevant? Yes, yeah,
that nonwithstanding. Right, No, it's a it's a little much.
The original stands on its own.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I think. Okay, but there's a long week ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You've got presents to wrap, cookies to bake, mild yet
inevitable family disputes to officiate. You may need to go deeper.
These are the next steps from the big ones. You
watch Christmas Vacation, you think I want more of iconic comedy,
a holes getting their come upance, So you go to Scrooge.
(03:16):
Scrooge should be an automatic watch. It is so damn good. Yes,
it's so funny, and everyone in it is so fun
Bobcat Goldthwaite is hilarious, perfect Buster Poindexter is hilarious. He
actually is very good in that. David Johansson absolutely nails it.
Carol Caine is hilarious and really beats the hell out
(03:37):
of Bill Murray.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Did you know that? Yes, she when.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
She grabs his lip, she tore his lip off, like
she told she injured him. They had to stop filming
for a couple of days. That's the kind of pain
and suffering I need in the holiday season.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Fun fact, the line producer on that movie, the guy
who make sure they run everything on budget, Pittsburgh, Zonne
don Lee, and he has told me many stories of
the filming of that movie, and one such is they
were driving down the West Side Highway in New York
City in in a like a town car, he and
Bill Murray after they were you know, in by being
(04:11):
partners who would like to search out the local Irish establishment,
and they got into a fist fight and pulled over
and beat the hell out of each other along the
West Side Highway there in New York. And it delayed
filming because Bill had a few injuries from that. But
so everyone was beating Bill Murray up in the lay film.
But they they are like like true irishmen. They had
(04:34):
no problem with that happening. They held no grudges, like, ah, yeah,
we beat each other up and see you tomorrow night, right, Yeah.
They They and Bill Murray did an interview afterwards and
he was asked what like years later and asked what
was one of his favorite movies to film, And everyone
always assumes he's gonna say Caddyshack, And he said Scrooged
because Don Lee and I, who was a priester on
the movie, had the best time ever. So that's Sean
(04:55):
Lee's uncle, who is, you know, part of what made
that movie so great.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My opinion, it all comes back to Pittsburgh always. In
that case, it comes back to New York. If it's
nineteen eighty seven and you see Bill Murray in a
fistfight on the side of the road, you don't even flinch.
You're like, oh, yeah, ye, it's a normal Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
There's the Chrysler building and there's Bill Murray fighting a
big guy from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Speaking of it all comes back to Pittsburgh, or at
least western Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You watch It's a wonderful life.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You want more of Indiana's own Jimmy Stewart, Yes, go
to the shop around the corner.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I like this movie. I think a lot of people.
It's on HBO Max right now. It doesn't have quite
the Christmas spirit, like the thing that happens to you
when you watch It's a wonderfly but it's a really
good movie.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It happens in the store during the Christmas shopping season. Yeah,
that plants it in Christmas enough to count it. But
what occurred to me watching it there? So him and
Margaret Sullivan both work in the shop. They can't stand
each other. They don't know that their secret pen pals,
and they're falling in love with their secret pen pals.
(06:05):
So this is just every Hallmark Christmas movie, but with
actors in it.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, that's the distinction.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Imagine like getting catfish back in the day, requiring a
lot more Like there was an actual letter writing that occurred, postage,
you had to buy a flower, to put an in
your lapel, to go to a place to maybe see
a person.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I love Jimmy Stewart and he's so Christmas coded because
of it's a wonderful life that this is just a
nice just a nice time, particularly if you do watch
all those Hallmark boops.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I like the fact.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The reason I like watching old movies is because it's
time travel and you get to go back and see
what it was like and how people talk to each other.
And I get that movies weren't exactly an accurate representation
of the lexicon being used, and particularly.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
This one, which is set in Budapest and features twelve
different non Hungarian accents.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But other than that, that is very true.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But yes, it is a nice flashback, yes to all
the way to nineteen forty But if you're not an
old movie person, again, the Hallmark thing prepares you for
the way this one goes.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You watch Home Alone.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You want more mayhem, you go to Black Christmas from
nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I have never seen this.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Many regarded as the first slasher movie before Halloween because
it's sorority girls are getting picked off one by one,
the co eds are turning up code dead. Will anyone
be left by New Year? Margo Kidder's in it, Olivia
Hussey is in it. Directed by Bob Clark. You know
what he made ten years later? A Christmas story that's
(07:35):
the same character Black Christmas and a Christmas story. He
had the murder Christmas so he could save it. That's
range you have to like horror movies. But it's really
atmospheric and really creepy.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Andrea Martin from SETV is in that as well. That's
kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
John Saxon, who went on to be the Dad Knight,
maryn elm Street and Horror Icon on his own.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It has a great cast.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's really the first one where hey, there's a bunch
of young people and they're going one by one and
we don't know who the killer is.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So long but four years before Halloween.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think if you haven't watched it and you like
a horror movie, holiday horror is its own genre.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I was just gonna say, there's so many, Yeah, Christmas
horror movies now most of them are bad or just cheesy.
Silent Night, Deadly Night. Oh, there's like four of those
Christmas Evil, Christmas Bloody, Christmas, New Year's Evil. There's one
called Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh that's the Eli Roth. Remember it came out.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh yeah, I thought it might have just been an
accurate portrayal of what happened.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Right and Violent Night, which is the one with David
Harbor and Beverly d'angelo's. That's what she was promoting when
she called into this show and fell asleep. Oh yeah,
that's right, she fell asleep on the show. No greater
compliment like somebody burping after you cook them dinner. She
feels so comfortable with you. Yeah that she just fell
right as sick. Her second holiday classic. If we go
(09:00):
to classic, you watch Muppet Christmas Carol. You want more absurdity,
here's a twist. You go to Batman Returns. That is
a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
How it is? It's set at Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
This is where the Penguin and Christopher walk and are
giving everyone presents that blow up or kill them ors.
I always forget what actually happens the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman one.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But it is they like the Gotham Christmas Tree.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Right, that happens at the beginning. It's set at Christmas
and is Christmas themed. The line between the Muppets and
Tim Burton in Goofy mode does not exist. That is
the same category. So Muppet Christmas and Batman Returns absolutely
works as a double feature for me. Finally, you watch
Die Hard. You need more holiday action, You need that
(09:44):
feeling of energized Christmas spirit you get from John McClain.
What do you do next? Where can you go? You
watch die Hard too?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Also Christmas movie?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, the is die Hard at Christmas movie is so
set that debate is so settled that I'm moving onto
the sequel. Die Hard two is also a Christmas movie.
He's at the airport to pick up his wife who's
coming home for Christmas. It's got the hustle and bustle,
and he's got to stop the terrorists to save Christmas.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Again, it keeps happening to him. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, And I'm on record many times on the show
saying this, Diehard is a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That narrative, to me is just like Russia is our ally.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Really really, if we say it enough times, does it
make it true?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's not a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It takes place at Christmas, and that can't be the
parameter for what makes up a Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well, do we want to get into a long academic
discussion of the difference between genre and style.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Well, if we do, we want people to pay for it. Yeah,
exactly on stage, you have to at the theater or
charge it. I mean, what a ccac professor's get paid.
We could do a whole course on his Diehard a
Christmas movie, I think talking major in that there.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, die Hard two is a stretch, but die Hard
it starts with a Christmas song. Everything about it is
tied up in Christmas. He's only there. Like all the
great Christmas movies, all the great Christmas movies are about
earning Christmas through trials, Christmas vacation, getting through all of
the menace Christmas story. It's always about I have to
(11:20):
get through all of this to get to my Christmas
that I need and want.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And what's more that than die Hard? Lethal Weapon also
takes place for Christmas. Yeah, I guess that's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You know, there's a lot of movies that would qualify
in the bad but not that bad Christmas movies like
Jingle All the Way. Sure, Fred Claus, I'm gonna go
ahead and say The Holdovers is a Christmas movie, and
oh yeah, absolutely love it.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, outstanding, But that's actually a great movie. That one
doesn't qualify. Also, Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart just friends.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I don't think I've ever seen that one.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
How have you not seen that? One just friends. I don't.
I didn't, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
This is a thing that people like Jacob. I need
you to corroborate this for me. Ryan Reynolds, Amy smart,
he's getting, You're forgetting the best character.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Honna Ferris is Benna.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Ferris plays like a Britney Spears type of character, and
she's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
As she did in Lost in translation. That's thing.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
For a while, Mark Madden would have corroborated this too.
This is his one of his favorite Christmas moves. And
I can't believe when I asked him yesterday he forgot
about that highest recommendation.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Ryan Reynolds to me is like I can take him
or leave him. But in this he's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I will throw it on the list. And if you
need one more, if your horny watch Eyes Wide Shut.
Also a Christmas movie that's it's between you and your God,
whether or not that's part of your holiday season. But
that's things go bad at the Christmas part and he
has to go on a whole sex odyssey to deal
with it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
What about Office Christmas Party? That's funny.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, another bad, not that bad Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You need a certain category that you throw on with
no intention of paint, no intention of paying attention to
do that to.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So many movies all the time. Yeah, where you just.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I want them as wallpaper in the background so they
can walk through and look at a scene and chuckle.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's how the Christmas Story twenty four hours happen. You know,
you're doing other stuff. Yeah, you can catch a little
bit of this here and there. Yeah, are you?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Are you just so over a Christmas story at this point?
Has it been too much that we lost? Is it
like hearing Black Dog? You're like, I forget why I
like this? I you know what I really loved. If
you want a Christmas road trip, you can go to
the Christmas Story House in Cleveland. Yeah, and you can pose,
you can hide under the sink, and you can stand
with the can of Simonis.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
And that's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's just I feel like I know every second of
it before it happens, and there's some really good bits
in there. But I don't need to sit down and
watch it any Yeah, I kind of I'm kind of
there with you. Elf is the same way. It's on cable,
practically on a loop for two months, and it's like yeah,
I know, I know he'd like syrup in a spaghetti.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's no shock to it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And yeah, right, well, wishing you and Mary Beth and
the rest of the call your clan the happiest of holidays.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And thanks so much for everything all year round, all
the time. Thank you, thank you for letting me yammer
about movies. And I'll be back to do it after
I get some sleep, dear God. Yeah, yeah, and so
nothing to pimp for over the holidays. Oh well, after
you're sick of your family. Christmas is on a Thursday,
you know, so by Sunday you're going to be done
with everybody. So come down to the Harris Theater for
(14:37):
the Steel City Horror Show. It is a seasonal choice.
Our surprise film is a seasonal choice with a very
special Pittsburgh Icon as our special guest. That is seven
thirty pm Sunday, the twenty eight. Is it a surprise?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
A lot to know before you get there.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, it's always a surprise movie. It is an unannounced film.
We'll hint at it, but we won't tell you what
we're showing until you get there. Okay, Well, when you
say the pitch guy in horror movies. Two people come
to mind, Well we've had we've had Tom Savini before. Okay,
that crosses off. There's another Tom that comes to mind.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Well, we're on.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Constant ongoing negotiations with this one. But not a Pittsburgh
horror icon. I'll say that christa we like to bring in.
We had Addie Twig. We had Addie Twigg come down
to sing the uh nightmre on ELM Street theme song.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
One month.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
We had Rick Seabeck come down to talk about filming
at the place where they made Carnival Souls. We like
to bring in the Pittsburgh favorites and tie them in somehow.

the Harris Theater.
