Episode 24: A Generic Snowy Small Town Christmas Romance

Join Adam and Keli as they explore the sappy, formulaic holiday movies that have become a cultural phenomenon. From the Hallmark origins as radio dramas in the 1940s to the current era of movies that make every small town look like British Columbia, and which famous mom is showing up in holiday movies this year.  They also talk about their favorite New Mexico holiday traditions, the Christmas classic got a stage adaptation, which new movie got a VHS release and where Adam took his son to die from dysentery.  Adam mixes up Stage West in Fargo with London’s West End, and Keli takes a firm stance on BBQ.
