There have been A LOT of movies about Santa Claus, but few have told his origin story aside from 1985's SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE. This film was on constant rotation in Chad's house growing up in the 1980s; but Cristina had never even heard of it until now!

It stars David Huddleston as Santa Claus; Dudley Moore as his assistant elf Patch; and John Lithgow as the dastardly villain B.Z. The movie starts out as a medieval fantasy, but turns on a dime into a campy comedy once the story reaches the present day. It's a weird juxtaposition of genres to say the least.

Chad is convinced this was a mainstream movie; but Cristina thinks it was probably collecting dust on Blockbuster shelves.

Does it still have the nostalgic/timeless spirit of a Home Alone or A Christmas Story; or should be better enjoyed as a memory?

When you think of horror movies, family-friendly comedies probably don't come to mind. Well, that's exactly what 1984's GREMLINS is: a horror/comedy/fantasy hybrid actually intended for families.

Since Cristina loves horror movies, this was her pick for one of her favorite Christmas movies. Chad saw GREMLINS a few times as a kid, but says it didn't have the lasting impact of other Spielberg-produced adventures like The Goonies or Back To The Future.

Neither of us had seen this in quite a while, so how would it hold up in 2025? Listen to our podcast and find out!

The Star Wars HOLIDAY SPECIAL was a one-time-only airing in November of 1978. To this day, it's never received any kind of official home video release by Lucasfilm or Disney. Thankfully, some copies are available on YouTube (which is how we saw it).

Chad and Cristina had never seen it until JUST NOW! Neither of us have any memories of it as a child or even remembers hearing that it existed until well into the 21st Century. Yet, we both knew this show had a reputation for being somewhere between stupidly campy and horribly unwatchable.

So we decided to give a look. Just how bad could it be? Watch this episode and find out!
