Stranded in the depths of Tony's parents' basement, his bout with a potential COVID case has led to an unexpected Christmas Eve: donning festive attire, Tony and Dan swap holiday traditions and take on the laughably bad "Santa with Muscles." It's a merry mash-up of personal anecdotes and a thorough dissection of a film that's as questionable in quality as it is rich in muscle-bound Santa shenanigans. Join us for a conversation that's as much about the warmth of holiday experiences as it is an exploration of Hulk Hogan's bewildering venture into family comedy.

From appreciating Mila Kunis's early work to uncovering the explosive secrets of a hidden vault in a church, we've got it all wrapped up with a bow in our signature banter. This episode's stocking is stuffed with good cheer, critiques, and some truly out-of-this-world cinematic conversations.

As the year winds down, we're not just looking back; we're peering into the future of storytelling. From expansive universes like "Rebel Moon" to the personal narratives of "Andor," we're covering the storytelling spectrum. And if holiday horror flicks are more your style, wait until you hear our thoughts on "It's a Wonderful Knife" and "Violent Night." So, whether you're here for the laughs or the in-depth movie chat, our last episode of the year is sure to deck your halls with boughs of Holly...wood insights.

Be our friend!
