Friday 4: Favorite Christmas Movies

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have to ask you what's more interesting for a
fashion choice for Congress, Kirsten Cinema's jean jacket, denham vest,
Fetterman's flats with the hoodie, or this person's purple hair.
It's a tough one.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I think we got to throw out Cinema's jean jacket
because that feels too normal to me.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well, yeah, but in Congress, she was absolutely destroyed by
other Democrats for it, mostly because she was starting to
not be as much of a Democrat as they'd like
her to be. But still, and so they took the
denim as a sign. They were like, oh, she's wearing
denim vests into Congress. Get her out of here. By
the way, Rosa Deloro is the person that is find Rosa.
Rosa is Connecticut's third congressional district representative. So there you go,

(00:49):
Rosa anyway, would who else? Who? Okay, so it's between
Rosa and in Fetterman's sweatshirt. Yeah, it's kind of safe's
gotta be Fetterman.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, it's such a I mean, she is at least dressed,
you know, for the occasion. I guess you would say, yeah,
she just has purple hair. Yeah, like a scarf and
like that looks to be like a pretty nice you know, yeah,
evening jacket.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
She's known I look up here. She's known for the
bright colors and bold patterns of her fashion and her
bob hairstyle. But she wouldn't be the first person that
made loud fashion statements in Congress. Fetterman's kind of go
in the other direction. It's just like he wears the
same type of thing every single day, and it's just

(01:37):
kind of not what you would think somebody in Congress
would be, you know, we doing.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You know, it'd be one thing if she was wearing
a tight eye shirt and like cookie monstered pajama pants.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
You know, the pajama pants would be tough. That'd be
a tough, tough look. By the way, eighty one years
old Rosa Deloro eighty one, that's a that's a you know, like, yeah,
she's older, but for eighty one, she's she's trying to
be hip with the hair. I feel, I mean, I

(02:07):
don't know. She also is a ranking member of the
House Appropriations Committee, chair of that committee as well, or
was the chair of that before kind of shifting into
the back seat. But she obviously has something to say,
because she's still talking in front of Congress. So if
they start voting on something, we'll let you know. By

(02:30):
the way, guess how many how many years she's been
serving forty seven?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, she's eighty one. I was just kind of trying
to do the.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Math in the House of Representatives of four. Thanks, that
would have been better. Yeah. No, she's in the middle.
She is wrapping up her seventeenth term, which would be
thirty four.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh I overshot it. Yeah, well I do that. Sometimes
it was gonna be.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
It was gonna be instead of like, wow, what hell,
purple haired lady, she's been there for a long time.
And then Matt, guess is forty seven and it's like, oh,
come on, Matt. Anyway, what we're doing here is a
Friday for Matt. Tell the people what to Friday four is?
Friday four? Is your Mount rush More of a topic?
So topics in the past have kind of been all

(03:19):
over the place. We've had the topic of your Mount
Rushmore of cartoon dogs. That was a silly and fun
episode of the Friday four and it really got people talking.
Got a lot of response from that one. Another one
has been your Mount Rushmore of candy bars. Mm hm,
that's the other good one.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, like, and we like to do them seasonal,
so I think that this one's gonna be something Christmas related?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
It is? How did you know?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
I did?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
You know? I just had a feeling, Yeah, a feeling.
You Uh. We did this one last year. I know
we did, but I wanted to bring it back because
I kind of feel differently, and you know, it's been
a year. We can recycle these after a year, right, Like,
here's w's who's calling us on that? Anybody? No? Anybody?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I didn't think so. So Matt favorite Christmas movies? Sure,
And I know that this is one that you know,
many people will be thinking about maybe have a different
mix of what they are. There are a lot of
Christmas movies out there, including those you know, crazy Hallmark

(04:25):
ones where they make like fifteen of them a year.
Feels like, but it's kind of hard for me to
find the right mix of like the Christmas cheer and
like what the Christmas like? Is it too how I
say this? Is it too cheesy?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Right?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know there are a lot of great Christmas movies
that many people are like, oh yeah, that's that's that's
up there, and I I'm just like, I can't watch
that realistically. I just can't. I can't. Well, we're gonna
figure out what those four are. If we're making mount
rushmore of Christmas movies. Let's what it this way. You're
gonna sit down, you're gonna watch four movies in a row.

(05:09):
You got yourself all day, you're gonna just veg out
on the couch, and you want to watch four Christmas
movies in a row. What are those four movies? Matt case,
Do you have four movies for me? I sure do?
All right, here we go all the way. Four movies.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Number one Home Alone m my very first favorite Christmas movie.
Saw that movie when I was pretty young, and it
just laughed all the way through. It still holds up.
Still such a fun movie. The second one's good. Don't
watch the third Home Alone and Home Alone two. But
of course this one's just the original Home Alone, the original.
It's a great movie. Kevin McAllister. The second one would
also be a Christmas movie. They're all Christmas movies.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Aren't they. Yeah, I'm just putting the first one on
my list. Yeah, because the third, fourth, and any subsequent
because there are more than that we really jumped the
shark after the second one. The second one, it kind
of holds up. I don't think Micolay Culkin's even in
the third. No, he's not. They they're like, what's the point?
Different kid, Although the fourth one, I think they called
him Kevin McCallister still he was Kevin. Yeah, I don't know.

(06:06):
I watched it. I was just like, what are we doing? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I generally I don't like that when they reboot a
franchise but they don't have the original cast.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah. So John Hughes, we could do John Hughes movies
for a Friday for I mean, he had so many
he was cranking him out like nothing, but he nailed
Home Alone. Yeah, all right. Number two.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Number two is elf such a funny movie. It's just
Will Ferrell, I feel like, at his best. And you
want to talk about Christmas Cheer. It's got the perfect
amount of just like a Scrooge type character and Christmas
Cheer from a very innocent place. Yeah, and Zoey Deschanel,
which doesn't hurt. It's got so many good lines too,

(06:48):
like just lines that you still laugh about and say
to yourself, you know. And it's a good movie. So
Will Ferrell.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Will Ferrell's He's got to be one of the most
quotable people who's ever been in movies. Yeah, comedy for sure.
Every single movie, it feels like there's a few lines
that you just you can't help it be like, eugh,
I'm never gonna forget that one.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, So that's a good one. Going at the next one.
Number three, How the Grinch Stole Christmas? Now, there's which one. Yeah,
There's been multiples of these. There was even one called
The Grinch. Doctor seussis the Grinch that came out just
a couple of years ago. That one's good too. It's
good that that kind of really updated the animation. Yeah,
but this one is the one that came out in
two thousand, starring Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey is the Grinch.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm a big Jim Carrey guy. I loved him since
I was a kid, and I just like this movie.
I think it's really funny. I think what he does
with the Grinch's character is really funny. And I like
how they do the Whuville thing, and I like that
it's kind of like live action as well. So, How
the Grinch Stole Christmas? The two thousands version, two thousand
version because it came out in two thousand, starring Jim
Carrey and number four. I'm gonna get the official title

(07:56):
here is Frosty the Snowman, the original old school animated one.
Now it's just the twenty two minutes came out in
nineteen sixty nine. Frosty the Snowman. It's the classic one
when he wakes up with the top hat on his
head and says Happy Birthday.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's just like every everybody has to watch that when
it gets on network television. You know, I loved it.
I loved you.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
There was something magical that click over after Thanksgiving when
all those movies started showing up on the major networks,
you know, NBC, ABC, that always have Him Home Alone
was played on Fox. I want to say a lot
of times growing up, like right after Thanksgiving and all
of a sudden, you just it gets you in the mood. Yeah,
And this was one of those I always would see it.
They'd put it on like CBS with Rudolph and all

(08:40):
the others, and the other ones are good too, It's
just this was the one that I always look forward
to the most. Something about Frosty the Snowman just seemed
like such a happy character trying to keep himself from
melting out there in the harsh real world as he
entertains all the kids in town. So it just it's
a fun movie, and that's my list, and I'm sticking
to it, all right, recap it real quick. So Frosty

(09:00):
the snow Man, it was How the Grinch Stole Christmas,
It was Elf starring Will Ferrell, and in number four
was Home Alone.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
All right, I will give you my list and then
we'll take your list after that favorite Christmas movies. And
we're doing it in a way not least like, oh,
just your favorites in general. But if we were sitting down,
you were watching these back to back to back to back,
what would be the ideal four that you'd like to
have as part of your Christmas Day marathon. I'll tell
you my next on news radio eleven ten kfab em

(09:29):
Marie Sunger on news radio eleven ten kfab your favorite
Christmas movies, but not in we could take about a
couple different ways. Maybe just your four favorites. But I'm
thinking of like, if I'm sitting on the sofa, for instance,
and I want to sit there and just watch Christmas movies.

(09:50):
What are the four that I'd like to watch in
a row? Now? I want to give a shout out.
You threw Frosty the Snowman in your list. I was
very close to putting the old school rout off the
Red Nose Reindeer in my list. There's something super nostalgic
about it, and I like the idea of Rudolph being
this young upstart that is joining all the adult reindeer
to help light up the skies and that crude kind

(10:12):
of clamation animation style. Does it age well until you
get old enough to just like feel that nostalgia for it.
So I want to give it a shout. I didn't
make my list, but the songs, and I don't know
just the way that it's animated, I don't know, there's
something warm feeling about it here am I four. I'm
starting my marathon with Home Alone because I just rewatched

(10:35):
it the other night, and I gotta tell you that
thing holds up from start to finish. I have a
lot of questions about some of the continuity issues, Like
any John Hughes film, it's just like, so how long
did he take between him realizing that the wet bandits
are going to come back. At roughly nine o'clock that night,
he leaves and starts wandering around by himself, goes and
find Santa Claus is already dark outside. He finds Santa Claus,

(10:59):
tells Santa this fake santhor or whatever it says, he
just wants his family back for Christmas this year. Then
he wanders into a church, just kind of wanders in,
sits down and listens to this choir rehearsing. Well, the
choir's rehearsing. It's still pitch blackout. There's nobody in the
church until the mean old neighbor comes by, sits down.
They have this conversation. The neighbor talks about, you know,

(11:21):
we can't come and see his granddaughter except for during
rehearsal because he's not welcome because he's got a bad
relationship with his son. YadA, YadA, YadA. How much time
is going by here? And when does this concert start
tonight if they're doing a rehearsal and nobody's there yet,
And then he has to wander home, and he comes
up with all of these concocted plans or whatever to

(11:41):
try to you know, Booby trap his house, and sometimes
somehow it's still enough time for all that stuff to
be totally ready in him to eat his macaroni and
cheese dinner before the wet band to show up at
nine o'clock.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Eh, he doesn't get very far into that mac and
cheese dinner though, right one bite.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, he's basically about to take his first bite, and
then it strikes nine o'clock. But still you get what
I'm saying. You know, he basically gave himself an hour
because it starts digging eight o'clock when he's at the church,
So he basically has an hour to get all this
stuff figured out. And it just seems like that would
take me a lot longer to rig you know the
line between the house and the tree house. Yeah, you know,

(12:20):
get the ice to melt on or to actually freeze
onto the sidewalk, Yeah, you know all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Has anyone done a speed run of that just to
see if it's possible?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Well I don't think so, but it would be something
I'd be interested in, something MythBusters probably should have tackled
when they were in their prime, I will be honest. Though,
still a rewatchable movie every day of the week for me,
I follow that up with a Christmas Story. I've hated
on this movie quite a bit because it's not really
a movie as much as it's just like a bunch
of vignettes about like a kid and what they're kind
of thinking about Depression era for Christmas time. But I

(12:53):
did recently rewatch that as well, and I just found
myself it's just like a warm Christmas movie. You gotta
think Ted Turner for that, because you know, he's the
reason why people watched it so much. After the Christmas
Story finishes up, I gotta go with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Watch a couple of the Vacation movies. I gotta be honest,
not a huge Chevy Chase fan, but I've not laughed

(13:15):
at those movies this hard until this year, So I
don't know if something changed in me, or maybe I
just paid closer attention the physical aspect of his comedy
in those movies. I'm kind of like, Okay, yeah, I
actually think this is really funny. So I'm gonna throw
that in here because I just want more laughs. And
then I finish up my marathon with Elf, and it's
just the right amount of like heartfelt Christmas cheer with

(13:37):
the silly antics of a Will Ferrell movie, while also
having kind of some people who aren't in the Christmas
spirit throughout. I like the balance. It's actually a balance.
It holds up pretty well. So I'm going home alone,
a Christmas Story, National Lampoons, Christmas Vacation, and then Elf.
That's my four. Now, if you got a four, we're
gonna open the phones. Four oh two five five eight
to eleven ten. We'll take your calls four two five

(14:00):
five eight to eleven ten. And if you want to
email me, I'm getting plenty of those on the list
right now. Emory at kfab dot com, E M E.
R Y at kfab dot com. Favorite Christmas movies you'd
like to watch in a four movie marathon here on
news Radio eleven ten Kfab. Emory's songer on news radio
eleven ten Kfab. Okay, So Emory Sunger here with you,

(14:27):
Matt Case and my producer. It appears, Matt, that the
vote is actually happening right now of this adjusted bill
to try to avoid a government shutdown. They have taken
sixty or so votes so far. What does it look like?
What are you noticing.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's fifty two to eight fifty two ya, eight nay.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
And that's just the Republicans so far, eight nays already
for the Republicans. M there's nine. Yeah. I don't think
this one's gonna work out. I don't think it's going
to work out. We'll let you know, but I don't
think they're going to be done there yet. So yeah,
I guess we'll find out. Oh, it's eleven days already, now, yeah,

(15:08):
it's this certainly is not going to pass anyway. Here's
a four thirty seven. We're doing a Friday for Friday
for today, is your four favorite Christmas movies? Now, this
could be done in like these are the ones that
I like the best, or the way I did it
was if I'm sitting down to watch four movies in
a row, which I don't usually do. But if you're
wanning a big old movie marathon, what are the four
Christmas movies that you want to have? And I picked

(15:30):
four that are going to make me laugh from start
to finish. Well, the phone lines are open at four, two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten, and we'll start with Stacy. Stacy, welcome to
the show. What's on your list?

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Hey? Hi, like you, I love Home Alone. It doesn't
seem like Christmas without that. I also love Family Man,
but Nicholas Cage, okay, and I love It's a wonderful life,
sure and love. Actually sometimes I'll sometimes I'll separate in
you know, grant her elf for home alone. And then

(16:04):
probably one of my favorite holiday movies is technically Thanksgiving movie.
I think it's one of the only Thanksgiving movies. And
it's planes, trains, and automobiles. And I love watching that
every few years, watching around November December. Planes trains, It's
just so great.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, that movie. That movie I would consider a holiday movie.
It totally would come in as a Christmas movie if
you didn't have that Thanksgiving element of it. But John
Candy and Steve Martin are actually really awesome in that.
And another John Hughes movie, right, that's another job give. Yeah.
So so there you go, Stacey, great list, thanks for
calling in.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay, fine, yep, mery Christmas. Let's go to Drew on
the phone line four, two, five, five, eight to eleven ten, Hey, Drew,
what's up with you to today?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Hey? I think the top four I agree with you.
Fashion lamb Boo's Christmas vacation would be number one. I
go with else number two probably the Christmas Chronicles for
three nice and one you may not have and then
one you may not have heard of? Operation Christmas Drop.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Huh yeah, I'm not familiar with that one.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
It's on Netflix. It's about the military dropping humanitary and
stuff to the islands around Wahama, Japan. Really neat this movie?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Interesting. I'll check that out on Netflix. Cool, I'll do that.
Thanks for letting us know true, Thanks for calling in.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Merry Christmas, me Christmas guys.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, you as well. Waldo is on our phone line.
Where's Waldo? He's on line three right here on news
radio eleven ten kfa B. What's up, Waldough? What's up? Yeah?
What's on your list today?

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Sorry about that? I got the playmation Christmas? Okay? And
then Garfield's Christmas Garfield? Okay? Die Hard, Oh boy, here
we go, and I can't it's not Scrooge. What is
the name of the oh Christmas Carol? Yeah, yeah, Christmas Carol.
There we go, Thank you, sir, Yeah, no problem, Waldough

(18:03):
a die Hard. That's a pretty controversial pick to some people,
But you're making it sound like it's legitimately a Christmas movie.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
I had to throw it in there, you know. I
hear you, I hear it's a great movie. It's a
great movie. I don't know how much of a Christmas
movie it actually is, but it is Christmas time during
the movie, that's for sure. Thanks for calling in, Betti,
Thanks for listening to our show, Thanks for having me. Yeah,
I love to hear that.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'm open for a little bit of disagreement on what
is or isn't a Christmas movie. To the emails Emory
at kfab dot com, David's on the line or on
the email and says die Hard is number one for him.
Do we have to do this again? Is it or
is it not? You decided?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
I understand the argument from both sides. Yeah, it definitely
is Christmas time. I think if you let Diehard in,
then you have to have that conversation about a lot other.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Movies.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know I'm going to give the lame answer ever,
but I feel like I want to go back and
rewatch it and then decide it's been so long.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, I just feel like the plot could work without
it being Christmas.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
What is the what is the Noah when you see it,
kind of Christmas y, you know, Christmas cheer, the Christmas spirit,
you know, I know that there are elements. It's around
Christmas time, there's like Christmas parties going on.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
It doesn't really have that element to it. It's an
action movie, you know, there's got to be just like
a certain layer of cheesiness. I think for a Christmas
movie to really truly be a Christmas movie, you know,
you know what I'm saying. And it doesn't make them
great movies. But this is the reason why everybody loves
the Hallmark ones that they like Christmas movies, you know why,

(19:43):
because they're all super cheesy. It's incredible how cheesy they are.
I watched the new Lacey show Bear one that they
released earlier this month on Netflix. It's called Hot Frosty.
It's like a real handsome guy who's actually like some
combination of Frosty the Snowman and Magic Mic or something.
But it's so wholesome and so I mean, it's just

(20:06):
overwhelmingly cheesy. But you know what I felt at the
end of it, I felt that Christmas cheer. Diehard's missing that.
To me, it's just missing that element of that heart
felt Christmas cheer. So it doesn't make it into the
category not to me, but other people obviously it does
for them. David continues, Home Alone two and not Home Alone.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
M what do you think about that one? I think
that they both are very funny. I like the original,
just saying, you know, it's the first one I saw.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
And it's also he actually is home Home Alone two.
He's not at home at all. They're in New York.
He's lost in a completely different place. It's a good movie.
It's fine. I'm just surprised that you'd put Home Alone
two and not the first Home Alone if you liked
it that much, right, Miraicle on thirty fourth Street. That's

(21:00):
another good one. And then Disney's a Christmas Carol. Yeah,
there's a lot of different variations of the Christmas Carol,
for sure. John says number one is Home Alone, no
particular order. Grinch the original, but that's pretty good. Here's
another one, Gremlins. Have you seen Gremlins? No? Okay, Yeah,
that one's going to be up for grabs as to

(21:22):
whether or not it's a Christmas movie. He says, for
those that may say that Gremlins is not a Christmas movie.
Gizmo was a literal Christmas present. That is true. I
understand that. I'm also kind of just a little bit
more of like but he could have made him anything

(21:43):
and it would have the movie still would have worked
the same way.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Probably, And that is kind of the argument too with Diehard.
It takes place during Christmas, but does that make it
a Christmas movie? A lot of people make that argument.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
If you do that at the fourth of July and
you just adjust, maybe the decor the movie could still
work the same way. I feel like there are some
people out there that say the Christmas aspect of this
is a vital part of the conversation, just like it
just doesn't have the Christmas Eve feel. But as soon
as I say that, and by the way, John finishes
up with the Santa Claus with Tim Allen, every rewatch

(22:18):
that one gets just a little bit more okay for me.
It seems a little too much for me at the beginning,
But every time I watch that that one's the right amount.
It's the second and third Santa Claus where I'm just
kind of I'm one hundred percent out or Martin Short
is playing the evil like Jack frost Guy doesn't work
for me. Josh says, die Hard, Elf, Jingle all the Way,

(22:40):
and Home Alone. That's a good list. If die Hard
is a Christmas movie, that's definitely a solid list there,
there's no doubt about that. Travis says, a Christmas Story,
National Lampoons, Christmas Vacation, die Hard, and The Night Before Christmas?
Now does he mean The Night Before Christmas is some
movie that I'm unfamiliar with, or The Nightmare before Christmas?

(23:04):
Because The Nightmare before Christmas that is a Christmas movie.
But you can also say it's a Halloween movie because
Jack Skellington is the king of Halloween Town, but he
discovers Christmas Town and that kind of bridges the gap there.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, and Tom DeLong said we'll have Halloween on Christmas.
I can't make heads or tail of it.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh. One of my favorite Family Guy bits is when
Jack Skellington shows up in there. It's like The Nightmare
before the Fourth of July or something, and he said, ooh,
fat chicks have tattoos of me. It's funny. It's funny.
Phone lines are open for two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten.
We got Richard on the line. Welcome Richard. What's on
your list?

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Hey, Look, what's on my list is that movie called
Violent Sanna was made a couple of years ago, and
that was the It was pretty action pack movie, but
they were attacking Shanna and Santa was trying to save Christmas. Yeah,
you ain't never seen it. You got to see that movie.
That's a good one. That's one of my favorite.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I gotta tell you that they've they've gotten a little
bit outlandish in recent years with Christmas in the way
that they like kind of portray it. And they have
gone into some more of an action y or even
more of a horror style type with some of these movies,
and that that Violent Night's definitely one of them. Richard,
I'll have to check that out.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, and he said Christmas though.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Hey, it wouldn't be a Christmas movie if he didn't,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Thanks Richard, right up, Hey, thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yep, Merry Christmas to you. Let's do Chuck real quick.
Welcome Chuck. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, nobody's mentioned the Christmas Story.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a great one. You know, we talk
about the fact that we were overexposed to it maybe
some people are like, I'm not sure I like that movie,
but I just rewatched a couple of nights ago. That's
a good one. I mean, it's hard not to think
like great Christmas thoughts watching Old Ralphie try to get
that bb gun exactly. Thanks for thanks, Chuck, thanks so

(25:03):
much for listening to us. Thank you, yeap, Merry Christmas.
If you want to call in four h two, five, five,
eight to eleven ten your favorite Christmas movies on our
Friday four on news Radio eleven ten kfab. It's a
bad day of the week to have Christmas? Or is
it a great day of the week to have Christmas?
I don't know. It just kind of depends on how
you're able to organize your schedule. We're keeping an eye
on the vote. They're still voting. They got there, they're

(25:23):
finishing up what the vote was there. But it certainly
appears twenty six Republicans voted against this bill as they
try to continue to keep the government open. We'll keep
you posted on any further developments, but it looks like
this one has it worked out too well. We'll see
what kind of adjustments they're able to make. Let's go
back to our Friday four though Friday four today is

(25:45):
the favorite Christmas movies or movies that you'd like to
watch in succession. If you have four of them, we'd
love to hear. If you just have one, we can
do that too. Let's go back to the phones. We
got Steve on the line. Steve, Welcome to the show today.
Oh we just lost Steve, Steve audios. All right, let's
go to Jeremy. Jeremy, welcome to the show today. Thank
you very much.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
I just wanted to tell you, if you're gonna let
die hardy in, you got to put in leave the weapon.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
One starts off with.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Jingle bell rock, ends with the fight scene.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
That starts with a car slamming into the Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Now see this is what I'm talking about. That's a
good point. You got to open open the door for
lethal weapon and anything else that has a Christmas scene
or two when it that's for sure. Jeremy, thanks for
bringing that in. And now I'm gonna have to rethink
my Christmas list.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I love it. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, I have a good Christmas. Come more emails coming
in here. Mark says, it's a wonderful life, which, by
the way, the number one Christmas movie according to IMDb
is It's a wonderful life. I'm sure you've seen that one,
the nineteen forty six Jimmy Stewart flick. Sure it's a
great one, isn't that frank Kaepra that made that? Yeah? Classic,

(26:53):
just classic. I guess I pushed back on it because
I'm a contrarian in my life more than anything else.
But it is a sweet movie. And every time the
bell rings and Angel gets his wings or something like that, right,
that'll get you, that'll get you. Mark goes on Miracle
on thirty Fourth Street, the original sixties version of How
the Grinstol Christmas, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, which again,

(27:13):
I got a real soft spot in my heart for Rudolph,
that's for sure, Paul says. Die Hard Grimlins Prancer, Prancer
is an interesting one. So this was a movie that
I wasn't super familiar with, and I haven't watched the
whole thing, but I saw it pop up. This is
like a nineteen eighties movie, and IMDb says, and it's

(27:34):
got Sam Elliott in it, and Chloris Leachman, who's Iowa native,
a farm girl nurses a wounded reindeer she believes is
one of Santa's, hoping to bring it back to health
and time for Christmas. Her holiday spirit inspires those around
her something her disheartened father's having trouble understanding. Go find
Prancer the eighties movie because it sounds interesting. The little

(27:55):
bit that I was able to catch actually had me thinking,
you know what, that might be underrated one. I hadn't
heard of that one before. Paul also says die Hard too.
But I'd put Rudolph and Frosty as one movie because
they were always on together. And that's true because of
the time frame, you know, network TV would generally have
Rudolph and Frosty kind of on the same nights. Those
are always great nights when the parents would throw on

(28:17):
the TV and say, hey, we're gonna watch Rudolf and
Frosty tonight. Heck yeah. If you want to be a
part of the conversation, you can four oh two five
five at eleven ten four oh two five five eight
to eleven ten, love to take your phone calls with
your your Friday four of your favorite Christmas movies and
how that all works. And if you want to email
me you can. Emory at kfab dot com. We love

(28:38):
chatting with you about the holidays and hopefully you're getting
into a great, bright mood as we head into a
weekend where many people are going to be celebrating their
Christmas and going in buying Christmas gifts for people, and
we'll talk more about that in the five o'clock hour
right here on news Radio eleven ten Kfab
