Don't bother the Bad Santa on his lunch break

from The Pod Charles Cinecast · host The Prince Charles Cinema

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas start knocking off local shopping malls, using Fil's Santa outfit from the cinema. The pair pose as a surly Santa and his oversized Elf, who by day try to stay sober enough to ask the kids what they want for Christmas, and by night rob the stores blind.It's the final week of NAUGHTY or NICE, and our Patreon backers were given the choice between two films from 2003 – BAD SANTA (Naughty) or ELF (Nice). Our listeners went 3-for-3 in the naughty camp, and decided to go for the drunken Santa Heist Movie! What could go wrong?Fresh off the success of Ghost World, Terry Zwigoff was tapped by Executive Producers Joel and Ethan Coen to turn their loose idea, that was adapted by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, into a big screen Christmas classic, starring Billy Bob Thornton. The only problem was, Bob Weinstein was the real boss, and he made things annoying for everyone. Join us, as we talk how this film was made, who the Coen's original envisioned starring in the film, and how there came to be three different versions of the film. And there is plenty of love to the scene stealing duo of two late-great actors, John Ritter and Bernie Mac. "I'm on my f***ing lunch break, OK?"If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!
