Holiday movies aren’t just tradition—they’re seasonal therapy. We kick things off with a nod to small businesses and a quick studio upgrade, then map a watchlist that spans cozy nostalgia and laugh-out-loud chaos. From It’s A Wonderful Life to Miracle on 34th Street, we unpack why the classics still land: perspective, grace, and the quiet chain reaction of small kindnesses. That thread runs straight into Dickens’ legacy, whether you prefer the original Christmas Carol or Bill Murray’s brilliantly jagged Scrooged.
The 80s and 90s gave the genre its pop-culture backbone. We relive A Christmas Story’s perfect nostalgia, the quotable mayhem of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and Home Alone’s cartoon physics that somehow still feel heart-forward. Then we shift to modern staples: The Santa Clause reimagines the myth with single-dad tenderness, while Elf proves earnest joy can outshine even the grumpiest city street. Polar Express earns a debate on animation, but its train-to-belief metaphor continues to charm families who want wonder with their cocoa.
Along the way, we celebrate the cozy glow of neighborhood lights, the creative mashup of Halloween-meets-Christmas decor, and the way a good story can nudge us to return the cart, hold the door, and pay it forward. Whether you’re here to argue Die Hard’s holiday credentials or build a December movie rotation that feels just right, you’ll leave with fresh picks, deeper appreciation, and a reason to be a little kinder.
If this conversation sparked your watchlist, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review with your must-watch holiday movie—we’ll feature our favorites in an upcoming episode.

Really?
No, no, no, listen to what I'msaying.
No, no, listen to what I'msaying.
Not as many people weredecorating their houses the
same.
Not the love and the want.
SPEAKER_01 (04:58):
Oh, I was saying that about Halloween.
SPEAKER_03 (05:00):
Well, I thought you said that a lot.
I thought it was aboutChristmas.
Because now I'm seeing this yearso far, but I'm seeing more
people now that have alreadydecorated their houses outside,
you know, more than I did lastyear.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
That's what I'm saying.
I'm seeing that people arestarting to be able to do that.
Well, because everybody canprefers.
I know.
My daughter, bro, I told you, Ithink I said it last week.
My daughter turns around.
That's how it always was.
Oh, why is it snowing, Dad?
(05:21):
I'm like, because you put up thefucking Christmas lights in your
house, like your Christmas treeon November on the November 1st.
Like, what do you mean?
Why?
Right.
Whatever, whatever.
I'm the guy saying that's justan observation.
But uh no, but people wouldthink we're doing it more inside
their house, you know, asopposed to just decorating the
whole outside of their house.
We did that, the apartments andstuff.
But you guys always do every hotdog.
SPEAKER_02 (05:42):
We do it inside, and then we kind of get when it's
almost sold on, we already havewe'll have it outside.
SPEAKER_03 (05:46):
And Tanya, you're gonna do it.
But I don't no, no, not me.
Tanya.
SPEAKER_02 (05:50):
I'm not taking credit for that.
SPEAKER_01 (05:51):
But wait, can we do our house though?
SPEAKER_02 (05:53):
Because my wife does everything.
How long is the number?
She would not let me.
If I can move shit, listen tome.
Hold that thought.
I can move something and I'll doit on purpose in my house.
If she has something set whereshe wants it, I'll move it on
purpose.
And she will see it within fiveseconds to 20, maybe.
Yeah.
That she's in the room.
(06:13):
I'll go, why is that over there?
SPEAKER_03 (06:15):
You see?
SPEAKER_02 (06:16):
Now you just write yourself up.
No, she knows.
I laugh about it when shecatches me.
I don't, you know, I do it forthat reason.
I want to see how long it'sgonna take her before she can
actually do it.
And I'm like, well, that'scrazy.
That's funny.
But go ahead, what were yousaying?
I'm sorry, sir.
SPEAKER_03 (06:29):
No, you didn't lose it, bro.
SPEAKER_02 (06:31):
Oh man.
It's all right.
SPEAKER_03 (06:33):
I feel good.
We're gonna come back to him.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Yeah, no, but what you shouldyou were talking about your
Halloween stuff.
Oh, that's what I was payingattention to.
I was paying attention to it.
SPEAKER_01 (06:42):
See, in our house, we're Halloween's the number one
holiday.
Right.
So our Christmas stuff is veryHalloween.
We have a lot ofHalloween-themed Christmas
decorations are yeah, and a lotof nightmare before Christmas.
Oh, I love that.
Our tree skirt.
We have a nightmare beforeChristmas tree skirt.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
So where you put the I love thatstuff.
I think it's good.
You can't cover this the treeskirt, you gotta put the
(07:02):
presents somewhere else.
SPEAKER_03 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't cover.
We'll just put them outside ofthe tree skirt.
Yeah, yeah, put them outside ofit.
That's funny.
Now, the the because if the treeskirt is a decoration like that,
like it has that theme, right?
And you can't put the presentson top of it under the tree.
You gotta put the presentsoutside so you can see the tree
skirt.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm just saying, I don't talk toshit right now.
So but now, do you decorate yourHalloween stuff from out that's
(07:23):
outside?
Do you decorate it a little bitfor Christmas?
Like, you know, throw up a um uha Santa Claus hat or something
like that, or put like elf earson one of your animatronics.
SPEAKER_01 (07:35):
No, but that that's that's a good idea.
Well, you know what we're wellwe already got Bobby Bones out,
so Bobby Bones has been outsince uh October 1st or
whatever.
But now he never went away.
So but we we dressed him in uhnow Christmas clothes.
We got a Christmas shirt, yes,that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02 (07:52):
Christmas pants.
Yeah, listen, I've driven by alot of houses with Halloween
themed Christmas decorationsbecause it's awesome.
I love it.
Because a nightmare.
Whether it's a dog or adinosaur, I've seen that with
something on him, yeah.
Uh, you know, some kind ofChristmas outfit of some sort or
whatever.
Right.
Um Santa, of course.
(08:13):
It's great.
I love it when people do that.
It's being original, it's beingit's being outside the box.
SPEAKER_03 (08:17):
Yes.
Like I have to go to the storenow, to the craft store, because
I have to get a uh two hats.
So for Halloween, I bought agiant jack-o'-lantern, like a
scarecrow.
Right.
He's sitting in my front seat,and he's got the you know, the
like the regular bogus hat forour you know, for what you call
it.
I gotta get a hat now to put onhim, Santa Claus hat, and I have
(08:37):
to get one for the skeletonsitting in my back seat.
So that's what I'm telling you,bro.
As I'm getting ready to decoratethe Halloween stuff for uh for
uh for Christmas.
Hell yeah, it's freaking great.
I love all that shit.
And that's what I'm saying, butnow you gotta get crafty.
So I saw a Cherokee, not aCherokee, the Jeep Renegades,
right?
And they had it all decorated,and this is the last year.
(08:58):
Uh he had it all decorated forChristmas, had the lights on
them and whatnot.
Right.
And the cops pulled them overbecause you're not supposed to
have those lights on the cars.
On the cars, yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that though.
SPEAKER_02 (09:07):
I saw it a few times, yeah.
I'm like, how does they not getpulled over with that?
Because it's like a it's adistraction.
You would think it would be,right?
Because people are like, yeah,you're if people focus in on the
lights, yeah, like, oh look atthat.
And they should be looking atthat light.
SPEAKER_03 (09:21):
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was still groovy, it was,it was really, it was really
cool.
It had the the lights were likerunning on it and stuff, and by
that the the uh AC converter andstuff.
But I I I think this is honestlymaybe the one time of the year,
seriously, where people are justa little bit nicer to one
another.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah, like you said, it's allthat warm, fuzzy, yeah.
(09:43):
You go cuddly, you know, sittingby the fireplace with some
cocoa, you know.
Yeah, what fireplace?
Any fireplace.
SPEAKER_01 (09:48):
The one on the TV and the U Log.
SPEAKER_03 (09:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna put the fireplace on it.
SPEAKER_01 (09:52):
So let's be nicer to each other every bro.
SPEAKER_03 (09:55):
That's what I say all year round.
Be kind to one another.
SPEAKER_02 (09:59):
Yeah, it always happens that way, right?
But then you still have yourbullshit too.
You know what I mean?
So, but it makes it easier toget through the year because
you're at that point of theyear, it's almost over, you
know, it's time to have a littlebit of a celebration.
Yeah, however you celebrate.
Yeah.
So it's good.
Yeah, I love it.
And the movies and and and thestories alone, you know, are
(10:22):
great.
It's depending on which movieyou like or story you like.
Die art.
Right?
Now, like I told I said before,my movies figure it out.
Is it technically a Christmasmovie?
I I thought it wasn't.
SPEAKER_01 (10:32):
So, what are the what are the classic Christmas
movies?
It's a wonderful movie.
It's a wonderful movie.
That's always gonna be my numberone of the OGs.
Right?
So when it comes to classics, Ilove that movie.
You got let's see what else.
So that was always a good movie.
So let's talk about that alittle bit.
So that movie, see, that movieis good because that is a movie
that like you when you're donewatching that movie, you feel
(10:55):
like somebody.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, what's it crying?
Yeah, yeah, dude.
I hide from the wife.
You gotta watch this in thedark, I might say it back.
You know, it's just uh you know.
It's a feel good movie.
It's kind of like a little bitof um I feel like they took that
idea a little bit from um what'sthe Christmas um Carol movie?
(11:18):
Oh, Christmas.
You know, with the with theghost of Christmas.
So it's like they made himexist.
Right.
Right.
You know what I mean?
What it would be like, what theworld would be like.
SPEAKER_02 (11:26):
Oh, you should never wish that.
SPEAKER_03 (11:28):
You should never what I think that that's one
thing that people can actuallyrelate to.
Yeah, it's an amazing movie.
But then I think that that'ssuper relatable because we've
all had that one Christmas orthat one time in our lives,
period, where we're like, youknow what?
I'm just so freaking tired, I'mdone, or whatever, you know.
And then that one thing will,that voice, that person, that
something will bring you back.
(11:49):
And that's what happened in thewonderful life.
SPEAKER_02 (11:51):
It was that, Mary, Mary, Mary, I love you, Mary.
Because he was in the TwilightZone, that's why.
SPEAKER_01 (11:57):
And that too.
He was bugging his own episodetwo, if you think.
Yeah, he was bugging out.
SPEAKER_02 (12:01):
Yeah, you know, there was actually a lot of
science in that in that filmwhen you think about it.
Which one?
Twilight zone?
Uh uh.
When you watch in the beginningmovie, who's talking to each
other?
The angels.
Right.
But what are they?
Stars.
That's right.
Gotcha.
And they're moving around.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stars in the galaxies.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (12:21):
Talking about that, you know.
Yeah, no, but I find it great.
SPEAKER_02 (12:24):
I find it interesting because it shows
you.
SPEAKER_01 (12:28):
Well, but I think that was.
SPEAKER_03 (12:31):
No, I think now we're talking science because of
who we are.
Or astronomy.
Right.
Right.
But or astronomy.
But you know, that was morereligious when they when they
made that movie.
Right, but think of the way, butlook how they did it, which was
a very good way to do it, Ithink.
SPEAKER_02 (12:45):
Oh, yeah, I'm with you.
Like, who are you gonna upsetwith that?
SPEAKER_03 (12:48):
Yeah, no, no, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (12:50):
You know what I mean?
Right?
SPEAKER_03 (12:50):
After you see the movie, you know, it's just it's
just it's you believe in God andit's just God.
SPEAKER_02 (12:55):
That's all it is.
Yes, right, yeah, right, right.
SPEAKER_01 (12:58):
Period.
That's a good one.
What's the next one you got?
Another classic one is gonna beMiracle on 34th Street, of
course.
Now, which one though?
You know, you like the remake orthe original?
Let's talk about classics.
Right?
OG, you know, black and whitejacket and yes, the uh Natalie
Wood.
I mean Oh, that's right, it wasshe was the little girl.
The premise for that movie ispretty genius, we think.
(13:19):
Like, what would happen if theSanta at your mall was actually
Sam?
Actually Santa was, bro.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Like that is the that's likesuch a great premises for a
movie.
SPEAKER_03 (13:32):
Yes, yep.
Hence, be nice to everyonebecause you never know, you
know.
Right now, I might be, you know,I'm on the naughty good list,
you know, like I'm right there.
Yeah, no, no, no, that stuff.
Yeah, we're not gonna do none ofthat.
Yeah, that's crazy.
But yeah, no, you're right.
That's why you never know, man.
It but again, so people theymake fun of me because I say
(13:54):
Santa Claus is real, you know,however you want to call it.
Why?
Because it's when you do it toothers, you get that grooviness
back, as far as I'm concerned.
Karma is a bitch.
So you know Santa is karma?
So you think we're Karma, yes.
So you think we create it?
We create Santa for that to youknow yes, at this time of year,
I think yes, because this iswhen you hold that door open for
somebody who's having a bad day.
SPEAKER_01 (14:14):
That's the same concept, yes.
SPEAKER_03 (14:16):
Yes, because if you hold that door open for somebody
who's having a bad day becausethey miss the bus or whatever,
and they're like, and they lookat you and like, well, thank
you.
You know, sometimes, not always,they don't always say thank you,
but you know, it's like thatmoment, and they end up paying
it forward through their day.
SPEAKER_02 (14:30):
You would hope so.
SPEAKER_03 (14:31):
Well, you know, fingers crossed, because even if
at that moment they didn't know,at least you know you did the
right thing.
I know I did the right thing sothat the person behind them is
like, oh, whatever they do nextis on them.
Exactly.
And you know, I believe in thatpay it forward thing.
So you know what I'm saying?
So, but that's me, because youknow, this time of year that I'm
that kind of nice.
SPEAKER_02 (14:46):
No, I know.
I always hold it.
Whenever I go, I'll leave itlike if I'm just walking out and
then I see and I catch it, I'llrun back at the door real quick
and hold it.
Because you know, I or I'malways putting back my shopping
carts.
Yeah, I don't leave them in themiddle of the parking lot, you
know, especially this time ofyear, people don't give fuck.
They just do whatever, man.
Right.
You know, you're being nice, butat the same time, you're being
selfless because you're doingsomething.
SPEAKER_03 (15:05):
And if you do it, somebody else is still gonna see
you do it.
Now they're gonna feel some typeof way, so they're gonna go do
it because now they don't wantto look like the douche that
didn't put it back.
So right.
I'm with you.
SPEAKER_02 (15:14):
Yeah, I'm with you.
So you have your good and yourbad, but no, I love the fact
that movies that remind us, youwould hope that we could be like
the way the movies portray us.
Right.
You know, of course, a lot ofit's fancy.
SPEAKER_01 (15:27):
Though, like you're supposed to after you watch a
movie like that, it's supposedto make you think and go, oh,
you know, maybe we should bebetter, maybe we should be
nicer.
You know, I think that's that'sthat's the writer director.
You would hope so, right?
Yeah, and then Valentine's Daycomes around and raises it all
up.
SPEAKER_03 (15:45):
I'm kidding.
SPEAKER_01 (15:46):
No, but you know, uh, so like so those are two
classic movies.
I you know, I didn't grow up inthat time though, so I don't
think like uh you're gonna saywe did?
SPEAKER_03 (15:56):
That's that bullshit time.
Well, you guys were maybe babieswhen some of those movies were
definitely not seven.
No, that was that was no, Ithink they original Christmas
Carol.
Oh, yes, you gotta watchChristmas Carr.
You did say that?
SPEAKER_01 (16:09):
Well, wait, Christmas Carol or Scrooge?
We'll go Christmas Carol.
Well, that we can get into that.
We'll I'm just talking about theclassic ones for now.
Okay, so I definitely want toget into 80s because 80s, like
we'll get there in a second.
I feel like it did blow likeChristmas movies blew up, like
it was a lot of.
Right, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, but so but the classicblack and white one, yeah.
Yeah, it was a classic, youknow, and that's a classic
story, you know.
SPEAKER_02 (16:29):
But Charles Dickens, that's that's Charles Dickens.
The whole premise, you know,he's got money, but he's
cheapskate, he's a miser.
Yeah, you know, he's mean.
SPEAKER_03 (16:38):
Yep, and he saw the light because he realized his
family that we all he had leftwas what his nephew, right?
His nephew was all that wasleft.
Right, you know, he was shittyto uh was it Tiny Tim?
What's the kid's name?
SPEAKER_01 (16:49):
But it took him to get all the way to his grave to
the point where he knew becausenobody was there, but like how
much of a difference one personcan make, right for being a big
guy, just a nicer.
Just be that nice person.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
SPEAKER_03 (17:06):
That's why I just said you ripple effect, it's
it's a ripple effect, you know.
SPEAKER_01 (17:09):
Yep, just nice to that one person, and it just
like changed so much, just beingjust nicer and more caring and
more thoughtful of other people,right?
Instead of like, you know, sointo ourselves or like you know,
like this is angry at the world.
SPEAKER_03 (17:25):
Yeah, for no reason.
For no reason, you know, youknow, yeah, it just sucks.
It does.
That's why I think that's whyChristmas is, like you said, is
like that warm, snuggly, groovytime of year.
Right.
You know, because people likeyou know, they are they're just
that much nicer than they werethe other 360.
SPEAKER_02 (17:43):
I think the holidays are also good to have, though,
because it it the whole idea ofthe lights and the music and you
know, the people being better,you know, more cheerful.
Yeah, and then also you get theChristmas, you know, whatever.
People are kind of nicer, right?
But why can't you be for thewhole year, right?
That's what people normally say.
Well, at least we're getting itonce a year at a certain point
(18:03):
of the year.
SPEAKER_01 (18:04):

Oh, now everybody's gotta benice all year round.

time of the year, right?

It doesn't hurt, you know.
It's not even about it,shouldn't even be about the
gifts.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just that time you'respending with the family, you
know, still.
You know, you know, it's betterthan Thanksgiving.
Because Thanksgiving, yeah,people are stressed out and they
(18:43):
just have rights to be.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (18:45):
I mean, I'm not gonna say you can't do it,
because obviously people havehorrible things happening in
their lives, unfortunately.
Just keep your chin up.

Yeah, definitely, man.
All right, next movie.
We want to go with this one.
SPEAKER_01 (18:58):

I said, like 80s came around,and that's when the Christmas
movies really started to blowup.
I feel like so many Christmasmovies.
(19:18):
Like if you think like 60s, 70s,like I don't I feel like there's
there's probably a lot ofChristmas movies, but I don't
I've I feel like it's just likewe're just like every year, like
a lot of Christmas movies,another Christmas movie, you
know what I mean?
It's every year.
Uh, but like the ones that stickout for me from the 80s were
definitely like Scrooge.

You know what's a movie I grewup with in the 80s that was a
weird Christmas movie, but likeit's more nostalgic for me.
It's a terrible movie, actually.

SPEAKER_02 (23:38):
Now, supposedly Trading Places came out in 90,
oh I'm sorry, 1983.
SPEAKER_01 (23:43):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (23:43):
And that was a Christmas movie.
SPEAKER_01 (23:45):
That was a Christmas movie, yeah, yeah, you're right.
SPEAKER_03 (23:47):
It was because it was based around Christmas,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yeah.
And then fast-forwarded it.
SPEAKER_02 (23:52):
And Jingle All the Way came out in '96, which was
like right after that.
SPEAKER_01 (23:56):
But there's also another 80s movie we cannot
leave out.
Which is Christmas story.
SPEAKER_03 (24:01):
Yes.
You're gonna shoot your eye out.
Oh, that's the greatest.
Well, I love that movie.
Yeah, 24.
SPEAKER_02 (24:07):
I got turned on to it.
That movie by a friend of minewho told me about that movie.
He said, You never seen thatmovie.
I remember when he told me, whenhe told me about this movie.
Like, what are you talkingabout?
I never seen this movie.
I was like those people who,when you tell them they don't
know, when you make a referenceto it.
SPEAKER_01 (24:20):
The only two references I had of the 50s were
Back to the Future and Christmasstory.
So but my life, that's what Ipictured.
No, you're that's a lie.
SPEAKER_02 (24:29):
Your parents also my friend.
SPEAKER_01 (24:32):
Yeah, but I I didn't, they were born in the
50s.
Okay, so but I don't but I don'thave like reference of what the
time was.
But the way they brought you up,though, is what I mean.
SPEAKER_02 (24:39):
As far as how you were brought up is from the time
that sh you know they were adifferent generation.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (24:44):
Right?
Yeah, yeah, I guess.
That's so freaking great, man.
It's crazy.
That is so freaking funny.
Jeez.
It's funny.
There were so many more moviesin the 80s that I think made
let's see.
Just made uh Scrooge.
SPEAKER_02 (24:59):
But that's the Christmas story.
The ref movie, too.
Do you remember that one?
The ref?
That sounds familiar.
SPEAKER_01 (25:04):
That's uh 84.
SPEAKER_02 (25:04):
1994.
SPEAKER_01 (25:06):
Oh, yeah, we're getting to the 90s, yeah.
Yeah.
But so is another story, andthat's another movie that I feel
like is such a quotable movie.
Like you'll shoot your eye out.
SPEAKER_02 (25:18):
You shoot your eye, kid.
Oh, yeah.
You know every line.
It's like watching youngFrankenstein.
Okay, I can replay pretty muchevery line in Halloween.
SPEAKER_01 (25:26):
Silent Night, Deadly Night.
No other Santa Claus is creepierthan the one from the Christmas
story.
When he's kicking him down thestairs, that was like the most
evil, most diabolical.
I love that.
I love ever scene in a movie.
SPEAKER_02 (25:43):
Remember when he ranted off the gun?
He was like he said everythinghe wanted.
SPEAKER_01 (25:47):
He's like kicking them off the stair onto the
side.
You shoot your eye out, kid.
And then he pushes it with hisfoot.
It's crazy.
He's like kicking all the kidsdown the slide and they're all
crying down the slide.
I'm like, that was like an evilSanta.
Like, I think so random for thatmovie.
SPEAKER_02 (26:02):
It was.
But that got it for him.
So right?
Yeah.
It was an evil Santa.
He wanted to go because it wasget the store was closing.
He wanted to get the hell out ofthere.
Who knows if they wash or not?
These kids are so yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (26:19):
So let's go.
So I think that covers most ofthe 80s.
Does anybody know any other 80s?
Uh I said the ref.
SPEAKER_03 (26:26):
It was one.
Which one was the ref, bro?
I don't remember the ref.
That doesn't even soundfamiliar.
Huh?
The ref, which one was that?
I don't know either.
I have to look it up.
SPEAKER_02 (26:35):
But how about TV stuff that we used to grow?
Right?
So about we'll do it.
The best one that everybodyremembers is Rudolph, right?
Right.
Because the claymation.
Right.
That's basically what that stuffis, right?
I would guess.
Is that what it is?
Right.
Right?
So that was 64 when that cameout, but it's always on.
Till this day it's still on.
We still watch it.
I still I still watch it.
Even at the age that I am now, Ilove it.
SPEAKER_01 (26:56):
You know what was really popular when I was a kid?
Remember the California raisins?
Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 (27:09):
I remember the kid and watching there was like a
Christmas episode, so it was abig deal.
Oh no, the Fort Your Raisin.
You're right.
It was right.
It was.
I remember that was like a bigdeal.
SPEAKER_03 (27:18):
I totally forgot about that.
Because that it was because theyhad done the um Frosty, the new
Frosty, and um it was Frosty theSnowman, and uh they had done
another one that had added onbecause there was a couple of
Frosty the Snowmen.
SPEAKER_02 (27:32):
Frosty the Snowman that we always watch is the one
from 1969.
Right.
All right, that's the one that'sover.
SPEAKER_03 (27:38):
Then, right?
SPEAKER_02 (27:39):
Uh no, that was the only one I had.
Really?
SPEAKER_03 (27:42):
Oh, then we got the Rudolph?
SPEAKER_02 (27:43):
Of course.
Well, what?
Frosty Snowman was great, man.
The whole story was a goodstory, too.
Think about it, right?
You have this magical uh beingthat comes to life.
SPEAKER_03 (27:53):

SPEAKER_02 (27:53):
And you can be with him, hang out with him, and do
all these crazy stuff, and he'llprotect you and do whatever,
rah-da.
But you can melt away, right?
Of course, but then Santa bringshim back.
Yeah, you know what's a weirdmovie.
It's a feel-good story.
SPEAKER_01 (28:06):
It is.
You know what's a weird movie?
And I guess we could probablysegue into the 90s now, is uh is
Jack Frost.
I love Jack Frost.

were fighting against the movie.

Oh, that's the one I that's when you said Jack Frost,
that's something.
Right now, I don't know.
No, maybe not Pixar, whatever itwas.
But that's what I thought yousaid Jack Frost, that's what I
was like.
SPEAKER_01 (28:52):

No, no, listen to what I'msaying.
Not as many people weredecorating their houses the
same.
Not the love and the want.
SPEAKER_01 (04:58):
Oh, I was saying that about Halloween.
SPEAKER_03 (05:00):
Well, I thought you said that a lot.
I thought it was aboutChristmas.
Because now I'm seeing this yearso far, but I'm seeing more
people now that have alreadydecorated their houses outside,
you know, more than I did lastyear.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
That's what I'm saying.
I'm seeing that people arestarting to be able to do that.
Well, because everybody canprefers.
I know.
My daughter, bro, I told you, Ithink I said it last week.
My daughter turns around.
That's how it always was.
Oh, why is it snowing, Dad?
(05:21):
I'm like, because you put up thefucking Christmas lights in your
house, like your Christmas treeon November on the November 1st.
Like, what do you mean?
Why?
Right.
Whatever, whatever.
I'm the guy saying that's justan observation.
But uh no, but people wouldthink we're doing it more inside
their house, you know, asopposed to just decorating the
whole outside of their house.
We did that, the apartments andstuff.
But you guys always do every hotdog.
SPEAKER_02 (05:42):
We do it inside, and then we kind of get when it's
almost sold on, we already havewe'll have it outside.
SPEAKER_03 (05:46):
And Tanya, you're gonna do it.
But I don't no, no, not me.
Tanya.
SPEAKER_02 (05:50):
I'm not taking credit for that.
SPEAKER_01 (05:51):
But wait, can we do our house though?
SPEAKER_02 (05:53):
Because my wife does everything.
How long is the number?
She would not let me.
If I can move shit, listen tome.
Hold that thought.
I can move something and I'll doit on purpose in my house.
If she has something set whereshe wants it, I'll move it on
purpose.
And she will see it within fiveseconds to 20, maybe.
Yeah.
That she's in the room.
(06:13):
I'll go, why is that over there?
SPEAKER_03 (06:15):
You see?
SPEAKER_02 (06:16):
Now you just write yourself up.
No, she knows.
I laugh about it when shecatches me.
I don't, you know, I do it forthat reason.
I want to see how long it'sgonna take her before she can
actually do it.
And I'm like, well, that'scrazy.
That's funny.
But go ahead, what were yousaying?
I'm sorry, sir.
SPEAKER_03 (06:29):
No, you didn't lose it, bro.
SPEAKER_02 (06:31):
Oh man.
It's all right.
SPEAKER_03 (06:33):
I feel good.
We're gonna come back to him.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Yeah, no, but what you shouldyou were talking about your
Halloween stuff.
Oh, that's what I was payingattention to.
I was paying attention to it.
SPEAKER_01 (06:42):
See, in our house, we're Halloween's the number one
holiday.
Right.
So our Christmas stuff is veryHalloween.
We have a lot ofHalloween-themed Christmas
decorations are yeah, and a lotof nightmare before Christmas.
Oh, I love that.
Our tree skirt.
We have a nightmare beforeChristmas tree skirt.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
So where you put the I love thatstuff.
I think it's good.
You can't cover this the treeskirt, you gotta put the
(07:02):
presents somewhere else.
SPEAKER_03 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't cover.
We'll just put them outside ofthe tree skirt.
Yeah, yeah, put them outside ofit.
That's funny.
Now, the the because if the treeskirt is a decoration like that,
like it has that theme, right?
And you can't put the presentson top of it under the tree.
You gotta put the presentsoutside so you can see the tree
skirt.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm just saying, I don't talk toshit right now.
So but now, do you decorate yourHalloween stuff from out that's
(07:23):
outside?
Do you decorate it a little bitfor Christmas?
Like, you know, throw up a um uha Santa Claus hat or something
like that, or put like elf earson one of your animatronics.
SPEAKER_01 (07:35):
No, but that that's that's a good idea.
Well, you know what we're wellwe already got Bobby Bones out,
so Bobby Bones has been outsince uh October 1st or
whatever.
But now he never went away.
So but we we dressed him in uhnow Christmas clothes.
We got a Christmas shirt, yes,that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02 (07:52):
Christmas pants.
Yeah, listen, I've driven by alot of houses with Halloween
themed Christmas decorationsbecause it's awesome.
I love it.
Because a nightmare.
Whether it's a dog or adinosaur, I've seen that with
something on him, yeah.
Uh, you know, some kind ofChristmas outfit of some sort or
whatever.
Right.
Um Santa, of course.
(08:13):
It's great.
I love it when people do that.
It's being original, it's beingit's being outside the box.
SPEAKER_03 (08:17):
Yes.
Like I have to go to the storenow, to the craft store, because
I have to get a uh two hats.
So for Halloween, I bought agiant jack-o'-lantern, like a
scarecrow.
Right.
He's sitting in my front seat,and he's got the you know, the
like the regular bogus hat forour you know, for what you call
it.
I gotta get a hat now to put onhim, Santa Claus hat, and I have
(08:37):
to get one for the skeletonsitting in my back seat.
So that's what I'm telling you,bro.
As I'm getting ready to decoratethe Halloween stuff for uh for
uh for Christmas.
Hell yeah, it's freaking great.
I love all that shit.
And that's what I'm saying, butnow you gotta get crafty.
So I saw a Cherokee, not aCherokee, the Jeep Renegades,
right?
And they had it all decorated,and this is the last year.
(08:58):
Uh he had it all decorated forChristmas, had the lights on
them and whatnot.
Right.
And the cops pulled them overbecause you're not supposed to
have those lights on the cars.
On the cars, yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that though.
SPEAKER_02 (09:07):
I saw it a few times, yeah.
I'm like, how does they not getpulled over with that?
Because it's like a it's adistraction.
You would think it would be,right?
Because people are like, yeah,you're if people focus in on the
lights, yeah, like, oh look atthat.
And they should be looking atthat light.
SPEAKER_03 (09:21):
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was still groovy, it was,it was really, it was really
cool.
It had the the lights were likerunning on it and stuff, and by
that the the uh AC converter andstuff.
But I I I think this is honestlymaybe the one time of the year,
seriously, where people are justa little bit nicer to one
another.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah, like you said, it's allthat warm, fuzzy, yeah.
(09:43):
You go cuddly, you know, sittingby the fireplace with some
cocoa, you know.
Yeah, what fireplace?
Any fireplace.
SPEAKER_01 (09:48):
The one on the TV and the U Log.
SPEAKER_03 (09:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna put the fireplace on it.
SPEAKER_01 (09:52):
So let's be nicer to each other every bro.
SPEAKER_03 (09:55):
That's what I say all year round.
Be kind to one another.
SPEAKER_02 (09:59):
Yeah, it always happens that way, right?
But then you still have yourbullshit too.
You know what I mean?
So, but it makes it easier toget through the year because
you're at that point of theyear, it's almost over, you
know, it's time to have a littlebit of a celebration.
Yeah, however you celebrate.
Yeah.
So it's good.
Yeah, I love it.
And the movies and and and thestories alone, you know, are
(10:22):
great.
It's depending on which movieyou like or story you like.
Die art.
Right?
Now, like I told I said before,my movies figure it out.
Is it technically a Christmasmovie?
I I thought it wasn't.
SPEAKER_01 (10:32):
So, what are the what are the classic Christmas
movies?
It's a wonderful movie.
It's a wonderful movie.
That's always gonna be my numberone of the OGs.
Right?
So when it comes to classics, Ilove that movie.
You got let's see what else.
So that was always a good movie.
So let's talk about that alittle bit.
So that movie, see, that movieis good because that is a movie
that like you when you're donewatching that movie, you feel
(10:55):
like somebody.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, what's it crying?
Yeah, yeah, dude.
I hide from the wife.
You gotta watch this in thedark, I might say it back.
You know, it's just uh you know.
It's a feel good movie.
It's kind of like a little bitof um I feel like they took that
idea a little bit from um what'sthe Christmas um Carol movie?
(11:18):
Oh, Christmas.
You know, with the with theghost of Christmas.
So it's like they made himexist.
Right.
Right.
You know what I mean?
What it would be like, what theworld would be like.
SPEAKER_02 (11:26):
Oh, you should never wish that.
SPEAKER_03 (11:28):
You should never what I think that that's one
thing that people can actuallyrelate to.
Yeah, it's an amazing movie.
But then I think that that'ssuper relatable because we've
all had that one Christmas orthat one time in our lives,
period, where we're like, youknow what?
I'm just so freaking tired, I'mdone, or whatever, you know.
And then that one thing will,that voice, that person, that
something will bring you back.
(11:49):
And that's what happened in thewonderful life.
SPEAKER_02 (11:51):
It was that, Mary, Mary, Mary, I love you, Mary.
Because he was in the TwilightZone, that's why.
SPEAKER_01 (11:57):
And that too.
He was bugging his own episodetwo, if you think.
Yeah, he was bugging out.
SPEAKER_02 (12:01):
Yeah, you know, there was actually a lot of
science in that in that filmwhen you think about it.
Which one?
Twilight zone?
Uh uh.
When you watch in the beginningmovie, who's talking to each
other?
The angels.
Right.
But what are they?
Stars.
That's right.
Gotcha.
And they're moving around.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stars in the galaxies.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (12:21):
Talking about that, you know.
Yeah, no, but I find it great.
SPEAKER_02 (12:24):
I find it interesting because it shows
you.
SPEAKER_01 (12:28):
Well, but I think that was.
SPEAKER_03 (12:31):
No, I think now we're talking science because of
who we are.
Or astronomy.
Right.
Right.
But or astronomy.
But you know, that was morereligious when they when they
made that movie.
Right, but think of the way, butlook how they did it, which was
a very good way to do it, Ithink.
SPEAKER_02 (12:45):
Oh, yeah, I'm with you.
Like, who are you gonna upsetwith that?
SPEAKER_03 (12:48):
Yeah, no, no, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (12:50):
You know what I mean?
Right?
SPEAKER_03 (12:50):
After you see the movie, you know, it's just it's
just it's you believe in God andit's just God.
SPEAKER_02 (12:55):
That's all it is.
Yes, right, yeah, right, right.
SPEAKER_01 (12:58):
Period.
That's a good one.
What's the next one you got?
Another classic one is gonna beMiracle on 34th Street, of
course.
Now, which one though?
You know, you like the remake orthe original?
Let's talk about classics.
Right?
OG, you know, black and whitejacket and yes, the uh Natalie
Wood.
I mean Oh, that's right, it wasshe was the little girl.
The premise for that movie ispretty genius, we think.
(13:19):
Like, what would happen if theSanta at your mall was actually
Sam?
Actually Santa was, bro.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Like that is the that's likesuch a great premises for a
movie.
SPEAKER_03 (13:32):
Yes, yep.
Hence, be nice to everyonebecause you never know, you
know.
Right now, I might be, you know,I'm on the naughty good list,
you know, like I'm right there.
Yeah, no, no, no, that stuff.
Yeah, we're not gonna do none ofthat.
Yeah, that's crazy.
But yeah, no, you're right.
That's why you never know, man.
It but again, so people theymake fun of me because I say
(13:54):
Santa Claus is real, you know,however you want to call it.
Why?
Because it's when you do it toothers, you get that grooviness
back, as far as I'm concerned.
Karma is a bitch.
So you know Santa is karma?
So you think we're Karma, yes.
So you think we create it?
We create Santa for that to youknow yes, at this time of year,
I think yes, because this iswhen you hold that door open for
somebody who's having a bad day.
SPEAKER_01 (14:14):
That's the same concept, yes.
SPEAKER_03 (14:16):
Yes, because if you hold that door open for somebody
who's having a bad day becausethey miss the bus or whatever,
and they're like, and they lookat you and like, well, thank
you.
You know, sometimes, not always,they don't always say thank you,
but you know, it's like thatmoment, and they end up paying
it forward through their day.
SPEAKER_02 (14:30):
You would hope so.
SPEAKER_03 (14:31):
Well, you know, fingers crossed, because even if
at that moment they didn't know,at least you know you did the
right thing.
I know I did the right thing sothat the person behind them is
like, oh, whatever they do nextis on them.
Exactly.
And you know, I believe in thatpay it forward thing.
So you know what I'm saying?
So, but that's me, because youknow, this time of year that I'm
that kind of nice.
SPEAKER_02 (14:46):
No, I know.
I always hold it.
Whenever I go, I'll leave itlike if I'm just walking out and
then I see and I catch it, I'llrun back at the door real quick
and hold it.
Because you know, I or I'malways putting back my shopping
carts.
Yeah, I don't leave them in themiddle of the parking lot, you
know, especially this time ofyear, people don't give fuck.
They just do whatever, man.
Right.
You know, you're being nice, butat the same time, you're being
selfless because you're doingsomething.
SPEAKER_03 (15:05):
And if you do it, somebody else is still gonna see
you do it.
Now they're gonna feel some typeof way, so they're gonna go do
it because now they don't wantto look like the douche that
didn't put it back.
So right.
I'm with you.
SPEAKER_02 (15:14):
Yeah, I'm with you.
So you have your good and yourbad, but no, I love the fact
that movies that remind us, youwould hope that we could be like
the way the movies portray us.
Right.
You know, of course, a lot ofit's fancy.
SPEAKER_01 (15:27):
Though, like you're supposed to after you watch a
movie like that, it's supposedto make you think and go, oh,
you know, maybe we should bebetter, maybe we should be
nicer.
You know, I think that's that'sthat's the writer director.
You would hope so, right?
Yeah, and then Valentine's Daycomes around and raises it all
up.
SPEAKER_03 (15:45):
I'm kidding.
SPEAKER_01 (15:46):
No, but you know, uh, so like so those are two
classic movies.
I you know, I didn't grow up inthat time though, so I don't
think like uh you're gonna saywe did?
SPEAKER_03 (15:56):
That's that bullshit time.
Well, you guys were maybe babieswhen some of those movies were
definitely not seven.
No, that was that was no, Ithink they original Christmas
Carol.
Oh, yes, you gotta watchChristmas Carr.
You did say that?
SPEAKER_01 (16:09):
Well, wait, Christmas Carol or Scrooge?
We'll go Christmas Carol.
Well, that we can get into that.
We'll I'm just talking about theclassic ones for now.
Okay, so I definitely want toget into 80s because 80s, like
we'll get there in a second.
I feel like it did blow likeChristmas movies blew up, like
it was a lot of.
Right, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, but so but the classicblack and white one, yeah.
Yeah, it was a classic, youknow, and that's a classic
story, you know.
SPEAKER_02 (16:29):
But Charles Dickens, that's that's Charles Dickens.
The whole premise, you know,he's got money, but he's
cheapskate, he's a miser.
Yeah, you know, he's mean.
SPEAKER_03 (16:38):
Yep, and he saw the light because he realized his
family that we all he had leftwas what his nephew, right?
His nephew was all that wasleft.
Right, you know, he was shittyto uh was it Tiny Tim?
What's the kid's name?
SPEAKER_01 (16:49):
But it took him to get all the way to his grave to
the point where he knew becausenobody was there, but like how
much of a difference one personcan make, right for being a big
guy, just a nicer.
Just be that nice person.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
SPEAKER_03 (17:06):
That's why I just said you ripple effect, it's
it's a ripple effect, you know.
SPEAKER_01 (17:09):
Yep, just nice to that one person, and it just
like changed so much, just beingjust nicer and more caring and
more thoughtful of other people,right?
Instead of like, you know, sointo ourselves or like you know,
like this is angry at the world.
SPEAKER_03 (17:25):
Yeah, for no reason.
For no reason, you know, youknow, yeah, it just sucks.
It does.
That's why I think that's whyChristmas is, like you said, is
like that warm, snuggly, groovytime of year.
Right.
You know, because people likeyou know, they are they're just
that much nicer than they werethe other 360.
SPEAKER_02 (17:43):
I think the holidays are also good to have, though,
because it it the whole idea ofthe lights and the music and you
know, the people being better,you know, more cheerful.
Yeah, and then also you get theChristmas, you know, whatever.
People are kind of nicer, right?
But why can't you be for thewhole year, right?
That's what people normally say.
Well, at least we're getting itonce a year at a certain point
(18:03):
of the year.
SPEAKER_01 (18:04):
Take what you can get, all right?
Oh, now everybody's gotta benice all year round.
Right, exactly.
You can't be happy with thecity.
SPEAKER_02 (18:13):
But it's good that we have it, it's like a therapy
time of the year, right?
Right to just let some steam offand say, you know what, I gotta
let my hair down.
No pun intended, of course.
SPEAKER_03 (18:21):
Right, right.
Yeah.
Well, and you're right.
I think I think you're right.
I believe you're right.
Again, be nice.
It doesn't hurt, you know.
It's not even about it,shouldn't even be about the
gifts.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just that time you'respending with the family, you
know, still.
You know, you know, it's betterthan Thanksgiving.
Because Thanksgiving, yeah,people are stressed out and they
(18:43):
just have rights to be.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (18:45):
I mean, I'm not gonna say you can't do it,
because obviously people havehorrible things happening in
their lives, unfortunately.
Just keep your chin up.
SPEAKER_03 (18:51):
So just try to get through it the best as you can.
Yeah, definitely, man.
All right, next movie.
We want to go with this one.
SPEAKER_01 (18:58):
So I think uh we went down.
I think those three cover the uhthe like class.
I think I can think of a lot ofclassic because I feel like like
I said, like 80s came around,and that's when the Christmas
movies really started to blowup.
I feel like so many Christmasmovies.
(19:18):
Like if you think like 60s, 70s,like I don't I feel like there's
there's probably a lot ofChristmas movies, but I don't
I've I feel like it's just likewe're just like every year, like
a lot of Christmas movies,another Christmas movie, you
know what I mean?
It's every year.
Uh, but like the ones that stickout for me from the 80s were
definitely like Scrooge.
SPEAKER_03 (19:36):
Yeah, that was so good, man.
Uh what's his name?
Scrooge was great.
Yeah, who was the Bill Murray?
SPEAKER_01 (19:40):

like, damn that great.

remember her name, but theactress from Taxi was in there.
She played the show.
Oh, yeah.
She was great.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (19:58):
Left-handed him too, bro.

SPEAKER_01 (20:44):
I I like it a lot.
You know what's a movie I grewup with in the 80s that was a
weird Christmas movie, but likeit's more nostalgic for me.
It's a terrible movie, actually.
The Santa Claus.
Do you remember the Santa Claus?
With um Dudley Moore?
SPEAKER_03 (20:57):
Oh my god, dude, I did forget about that movie.

funnies, the good ones, right?
The the action-packed ones, bro.

SPEAKER_02 (23:38):
Now, supposedly Trading Places came out in 90,
oh I'm sorry, 1983.
SPEAKER_01 (23:43):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (23:43):
And that was a Christmas movie.
SPEAKER_01 (23:45):
That was a Christmas movie, yeah, yeah, you're right.
SPEAKER_03 (23:47):
It was because it was based around Christmas,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yeah.
And then fast-forwarded it.
SPEAKER_02 (23:52):
And Jingle All the Way came out in '96, which was
like right after that.
SPEAKER_01 (23:56):
But there's also another 80s movie we cannot
leave out.
Which is Christmas story.
SPEAKER_03 (24:01):
Yes.
You're gonna shoot your eye out.
Oh, that's the greatest.
Well, I love that movie.
Yeah, 24.
SPEAKER_02 (24:07):
I got turned on to it.
That movie by a friend of minewho told me about that movie.
He said, You never seen thatmovie.
I remember when he told me, whenhe told me about this movie.
Like, what are you talkingabout?
I never seen this movie.
I was like those people who,when you tell them they don't
know, when you make a referenceto it.
SPEAKER_01 (24:20):
The only two references I had of the 50s were
Back to the Future and Christmasstory.
So but my life, that's what Ipictured.
No, you're that's a lie.
SPEAKER_02 (24:29):
Your parents also my friend.
SPEAKER_01 (24:32):
Yeah, but I I didn't, they were born in the
50s.
Okay, so but I don't but I don'thave like reference of what the
time was.
But the way they brought you up,though, is what I mean.
SPEAKER_02 (24:39):
As far as how you were brought up is from the time
that sh you know they were adifferent generation.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (24:44):
Right?
Yeah, yeah, I guess.
That's so freaking great, man.
It's crazy.
That is so freaking funny.
Jeez.
It's funny.
There were so many more moviesin the 80s that I think made
let's see.
Just made uh Scrooge.
SPEAKER_02 (24:59):
But that's the Christmas story.
The ref movie, too.
Do you remember that one?
The ref?
That sounds familiar.
SPEAKER_01 (25:04):
That's uh 84.
SPEAKER_02 (25:04):
1994.
SPEAKER_01 (25:06):
Oh, yeah, we're getting to the 90s, yeah.
Yeah.
But so is another story, andthat's another movie that I feel
like is such a quotable movie.
Like you'll shoot your eye out.
SPEAKER_02 (25:18):
You shoot your eye, kid.
Oh, yeah.
You know every line.
It's like watching youngFrankenstein.
Okay, I can replay pretty muchevery line in Halloween.
SPEAKER_01 (25:26):
Silent Night, Deadly Night.
No other Santa Claus is creepierthan the one from the Christmas
story.
When he's kicking him down thestairs, that was like the most
evil, most diabolical.
I love that.
I love ever scene in a movie.
SPEAKER_02 (25:43):
Remember when he ranted off the gun?
He was like he said everythinghe wanted.
SPEAKER_01 (25:47):
He's like kicking them off the stair onto the
side.
You shoot your eye out, kid.
And then he pushes it with hisfoot.
It's crazy.
He's like kicking all the kidsdown the slide and they're all
crying down the slide.
I'm like, that was like an evilSanta.
Like, I think so random for thatmovie.
SPEAKER_02 (26:02):
It was.
But that got it for him.
So right?
Yeah.
It was an evil Santa.
He wanted to go because it wasget the store was closing.
He wanted to get the hell out ofthere.
Who knows if they wash or not?
These kids are so yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (26:19):
So let's go.
So I think that covers most ofthe 80s.
Does anybody know any other 80s?
Uh I said the ref.
SPEAKER_03 (26:26):
It was one.
Which one was the ref, bro?
I don't remember the ref.
That doesn't even soundfamiliar.
Huh?
The ref, which one was that?
I don't know either.
I have to look it up.
SPEAKER_02 (26:35):
But how about TV stuff that we used to grow?
Right?
So about we'll do it.
The best one that everybodyremembers is Rudolph, right?
Right.
Because the claymation.
Right.
That's basically what that stuffis, right?
I would guess.
Is that what it is?
Right.
Right?
So that was 64 when that cameout, but it's always on.
Till this day it's still on.
We still watch it.
I still I still watch it.
Even at the age that I am now, Ilove it.
SPEAKER_01 (26:56):
You know what was really popular when I was a kid?
Remember the California raisins?
Oh my god.
Dude, I forgot about those.
Yes.
We went to the South Bowl.
unknown (27:07):
Dude.
SPEAKER_01 (27:09):
I remember the kid and watching there was like a
Christmas episode, so it was abig deal.
Oh no, the Fort Your Raisin.
You're right.
It was right.
It was.
I remember that was like a bigdeal.
SPEAKER_03 (27:18):
I totally forgot about that.
Because that it was because theyhad done the um Frosty, the new
Frosty, and um it was Frosty theSnowman, and uh they had done
another one that had added onbecause there was a couple of
Frosty the Snowmen.
SPEAKER_02 (27:32):
Frosty the Snowman that we always watch is the one
from 1969.
Right.
All right, that's the one that'sover.
SPEAKER_03 (27:38):
Then, right?
SPEAKER_02 (27:39):
Uh no, that was the only one I had.
Really?
SPEAKER_03 (27:42):
Oh, then we got the Rudolph?
SPEAKER_02 (27:43):
Of course.
Well, what?
Frosty Snowman was great, man.
The whole story was a goodstory, too.
Think about it, right?
You have this magical uh beingthat comes to life.
SPEAKER_03 (27:53):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (27:53):
And you can be with him, hang out with him, and do
all these crazy stuff, and he'llprotect you and do whatever,
rah-da.
But you can melt away, right?
Of course, but then Santa bringshim back.
Yeah, you know what's a weirdmovie.
It's a feel-good story.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
