The Mikes are taking Forgotten Cinema international for the holidays and trying not to upset the elves as they discuss the 2010 Finnish film, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.

Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about how more foreign films like this should be watched by American audiences. They look at the father-son relationship at the heart of the film, compare it to the popular short films this was based on, and talk about the setting and plot of this very unique sci-fi, horror, dark-comedy, holiday film.

So grab your paukkumaissi and sooda, please notice that the exits are located at the etuosa and takaosa of the auditorium, and rentoutua for Forgotten Cinema.
