Bad Apples Podcast

Kia joins us for our special Christmas at the Movies Advent series! Together, we unwrap our desert island Christmas movie picks, debate which flicks are overhyped, and get Cody's hot take on It’s A Wonderful Life. In this episode, we dive into the magic of storytelling, exploring how some classic Christmas movies go beyond the screen to share timeless, powerful messages. Don’t miss this festive movie chat that’s as warm as hot cocoa by the fire!

It's Garrett's favorite time of the year! THANKSGIVING! And We have one of Garrett's least favorite things: flavored coffee! We have a THANK-OFF!
