Show Notes
Just because a movie is set at Christmas doesn’t mean it is a “Christmas Movie.” So sayeth us. We drop some hot takes on all the holiday entertainment marketed to us every year as being very Christmas-y… and we say NOPE. Or at least we are confused as to why they are considered part of this Season of Joy. The rules are pretty arbitrary here, but the bottom line is - if it has Santa Claus in it that doesn’t give it a free pass. You gotta earn that Xmas Cheer, yo. Also, Die Hard is still not a Xmas movie.
