Collin and Kerry interview documentary filmmaker Dana Nachman about her latest film, "Dear Santa" (2020), which opens in theaters and on VOD on December 4th. The film looks at the efforts of Operation Santa, an organization that has been around since 1912 and helps those less fortunate during the holidays. It's the feel-good movie we all need right now. Plus, a segment of holiday TV special recommendations.

Kerry and Collin are joined by former Director's Club co-host Brad Strauss to talk all things "Star Wars," namely the 1978 Holiday Special, the Ewok movies, the Christmas album and the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, currently on Disney+. With plenty of audio clips from your favorite Star Wars musical numbers, we'll "take you higher than the diamonds in the sky." Stir-whip-stir!

Kerry and Collin are joined by film critic Leo Brady (amovieguy.com) to talk about Netflix's recent release, the musical fantasy "Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey." Just how well do these big musical numbers mesh with the sci-fi elements and the overall human story? How does Buddy 3000 stack against Johnny Five? There's a lot to talk about here, plus Kerry's own journey to see all 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. And be sure to follow Leo Brady's Christmas movie watching journey on Twitter @leosamovieguy, #amerrymovieguy.

Kerry and Collin are joined by Patrick Ripoll (of Directors Club and Tracks of the Damned) to talk about the controversial-at-the-time slasher classic, "Silent Night, Deadly Night." Did parent groups in Wisconsin have a right to be upset by it? More importantly, how's the soundtrack? We dive in and explore what makes this movie unique and unsettling.

This month, Kerry and Collin are joined by Christine Sellin to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Christmas cult film "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale." This horror treat from Finland delves into Norst mythology, mysteriously slaughtered reindeer, childhood fears and capitalism. It accomplishes a lot in 82 minutes. Perfect for Christmas or Halloween.

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.
