Son of a Nutcracker! That’s what you’ll be saying if you miss this celebration of the beloved 2003 Christmas classic “Elf” starring Will Ferrell.
With the media attention surrounding the return of “Elf: The Musical” to Broadway– and fan favorite Sean Astin in the role of Santa– what better time to revisit the film that first introduced us to the lovable Buddy the Elf?
What classic holiday movie did the makers of “Elf” model after so closely, at one point the legal team almost halted their production? Why were some of the studio execs leery of casting Will Ferrell as Buddy, and what other actors were considered? How did director Jon Favreau create nearly all the special effects without the use of CGI? And why has there never been a sequel?
Only a cotton-headed ninny muggins would miss this episode in which we discuss all this and more!
