254: What Kind of Holiday Special is This?!

Movie Meltdown - Episode 254 As we enter into our 6th annual holiday “special”, we embark on a conversation that at times will stray into the weird and ridiculous. At some point we use the phrase “beautifully awkward conversation”- and that most definitely applies to this episode. In fact, you’ll hear things that you would only ever hear on "Movie Meltdown". God bless us... every one. And as we partake in the traditional holiday meal of pizza, we also mention… can you even give movies as a gift anymore?, stealing cars at funerals, turkey marauders, a special drill bit, that cancer on the faces of Tasmanian Devils, elephant fangs, Wong Kar-wai, Versailles, Travels in America, sexy people that live forever, Jess Weixler, montages, Wal-Mart movies, adult baby clothes, a bathing woman who'd had some serious reconstructive surgery, the new Oldboy vs. the old Oldboy, Beeswax, Treme, Dolls, Wall-E, Tippi Hedren: 2013, Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint, native American mummies, being a huge erotic fantasy fiction fan, the first judgment passed on American culture, Duck Dynasty merchandising for dogs, DDT vampires, Salinger documentary, be afraid of everything... all the time, Somebody Up There Likes Me, Bag of Hammers, glacially slow, fun size candy bars, My Life as a Turkey, Old Yeller, do monkeys have eyebrows, converting VHS into digital, mermaid propaganda, Josh Brolin, just like genitals... on their face, Dave Matthews movies, this book from 1811, the oldest tree in the world, wanting to be an elephant when you grow up, the all-seeing eye tree, Spike Lee, nutcheese, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny 5 junkie, handmade cash, the pizza wars, Daiya... with love, vicious segway gangs, a mumble-core joint, cancerous sourdough and duck penises.
