Bullets and Christmas Trees: Lethal Weapon Survives the Holidays and Bathroom Boundaries

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where your favorite film-loving duo takes movies with trees (sometimes metaphorical, sometimes literal), flings them into the cinematic cosmos, and hacks through the underbrush of plot, character, and whatever else grows wild in 80s action flicks.This week, Jason and Nate tackle the 1987 classic Lethal Weapon—the movie that asks, "What if Christmas wasn't about presents and family, but instead about bullets, bad decisions, and Mel Gibson’s mullet?" The guys dig into whether Lethal Weapon is truly a Christmas movie or just Die Hard’s chaotic cousin, why the most awkward birthday in cinema involves a bathtub, and whether the infamous ‘stump bump’ means anything if there’s too much eggnog flying around.With explosive takes on everything from suspicious Christmas decorations to Danny Glover’s questionable running style, this episode promises action, nostalgia, and deep existential questions like, “Seriously, was that a Santa on the roof or just leftover pizza?” Plus, they weigh in on what the critics thought, what the fans thought, and more importantly—would they recommend it to their surgeon? (Spoiler: at least one stump is involved.) Get ready to laugh, reminisce, and possibly reevaluate your holiday movie playlist—Lethal Weapon is locked, loaded, and about to crash-land into your podcast feed!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.
