30: The Ice Harvest & Reindeer Games (with Kelsey Holmes)

We're kicking off our five week Rotten Holidays series with two forgotten 2000s holiday heist thrillers that are *extremely* early 2000s. First up, it's  John Frankhenheimer's swan song, "Reindeer Games," starring Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron and Gary Sinise in nu-metal cosplay as members of what might be the dumbest fucking crew to ever grace the big screen. After that, we're turning the thermostat down and taking a boozy nap with Harold Ramis' "The Ice Harvest," starring John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton as a pair of small town crooks with low ambitions and a frighteningly high tolerance for alcohol. This week, we're joined by return guest and certified celebrity pussy eating connoisseur Kelsey Holmes, to discuss these cinematic lumps of coal. "The Ice Harvest" is streaming for free on Peacock. "Reindeer Games" is available to rent on all the usual streaming apps.
