12/23/20 SHOW 30 : THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MORNING AFTER
from The Gerard Cosloy Radio Hour (That Feels Like Two Hours) · host Gerard Cosloy
Of the graphic commercials for 1984’s “Silent Night, Deadly Night”, the late Gene Siskel famously declared, ““the showing of Santa with an axe on free TV in commercials is sick, and sleazy, and mean-spirited.” However, one might argue it was absolutely necessary. I’ made such an argument on this week’s show, however TriStar Pictures — a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment — ignored my reasonable requests to use dialogue from “Silent Night, Deadly Night” and as such, we’ve had to opt for 2 hours of music. Merry fooking christmas, indeed.
