Happy Holidays! On this month’s episode, co-host Paxton delivers the goods to Jaime and Shawn in the form of Santa Claus the Movie from 1985 starring Dudley Moore and features a completely wonderful, unhinged John Lithgow performance. Paxton remembers this one fondly and hopes it stands the test of time.
Listen as we talk about the inconsistencies in Santa Claus’ origins, why if elves are immortal is there a really old elf, and the wild tonal shifts throughout this movie. It’s a fun discussion we hope you enjoy!
