Kerry and Collin fill the episode with tangents of a slightly darker nature, but also find time to talk about the "Air Bud'-inspired, direct-to-minivan concoction "Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws," in which cute little puppies must save the spirit of Christmas. This episode is longer than the film itself, but it provides plenty of dog food for thought (but not for kids). EXPLICIT!

Kerry and Collin take a look at the British comedy, Get Santa, starring Jim Broadbent as Santa Claus (again). The hosts had slightly different reactions to it, but Collin did get to re-discover a Christmas song he forgot he liked and Kerry talks about "Red River" (1948), "From Here To Eternity" (1953), "Atlantic City" (1981) for the We Just Say Book segment.

Erik Laws (frequent guest on "Movie Madness") joins Kerry and Collin for a discussion on DIE HARD 2 in honor of its 30th anniversary. How does it compare to the original? What's the best quality kill? Is it a Christmas movie? We also get into some comic book talk and Kerry talks about "The Ascent" (1977), "The Quiet Man" (1952) and "Local Hero" (1983) for the "We Just Say Book" segment.

Kerry and Collin unearth a wholesome 1940 chestnut called "Beyond Tomorrow" (a.k.a. "Beyond Christmas") and talk about its music, special effects and vague spiritualism. Other topics include the Brady Bunch Christmas album, the death of John Lewis and seeing "Vertigo" at the Music Box Theater during COVID-19.

Kerry and Collin are joined by Jim Peebles, an old friend from Collin's childhood who has a lot to say about the legendary sitcom and the (putting it politely) mis-guided story elements of its 1988 Christmas movie. Who has the most slappable husband? Who's paying for Bobby's college, which he's not attending? And the next time someone is trapped in a coalmine, should we try singing them out? Tune in and learn some valuable life lessons on family, marriage and architectural disasters.  

Delroy Lindo has been getting a lot of attention for his stunning performance in Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods," so Kerry and Collin decided to dive into "This Christmas," an ensemble comedy featuring Lindo, Idris Elba, Chris Brown and Loretta Devine. Can anyone out there explain where the name "Sock it to me cake" comes from? They also get into the topic of BLM protests and how to be a white ally in these troubled times.

Kerry and Collin are guest-less for this episode. Among the topics covered: A truly awful Jonathan Taylor Thomas movie, Shelley Long's unfortunate career path, "Ishtar" and the re-casting of "There Will Be Blood," which is one of the movies covered in the "We Just Say Book" segment ("The Baker's Wife" and "Cinema Paradiso" being the other two).

In this episode, Kerry and Collin are joined by their friend Kelly Koch to talk about Nancy Myers' 2006 rom-com, "The Holiday." Without googling, can you guess the net worth of every actor in this film? Also, Kerry talks about "Chariots OF Fire" (1981), "The Graduate" (1967) and "Jaws" (1975) for the "We Just Say Book" segment.

We are joined by Erik Childress (Movie Madness, WGN Radio) to talk about Steven Spielberg's delightfully insane WWII comedy "1941," a movie that had us arguing over its merits as a Christmas movie. We also talk about our anticipation for "West Side Story" and how moviegoing has been and will be affected by quarantine. Also, Kerry talks about "Close-Up" (1990), "Boyz n' The Hood" (1991) and "Cabin In the Woods" (2011) for the "We Just Say Book" segment.

We are joined by film critic and host of The Director's Club and Voices & Visions, Jim Laczkowski, to talk about the 1978 bank heist thriller, "The Silent Partner." Can it really replace "Die Hard" as the go-to R-rated thriller to watch every year? We also check in with each other on how self isolation has been going and Kerry talks about "Carmen Jones" (1954), "King of New York" (1990) and "The African Queen" (1951) for the "We Just Say Book" segment. Stay a SAFE little Jesus, everyone.
