Episode 29: Edgy and Different Christmas Movies

Do You Even Binge? Episode 29This week, we move away from the "milk and cookies" vibes and dive into the edgy, the weird, and the flat-out dangerous movies that claim to be Christmas films.We start with the German holiday demon in Krampus, where a blizzard-trapped family faces off against evil gingerbread men and a 9-foot beast. We break down the "cozy horror" of the film and share our personal trauma from the Universal Horror Nights maze.Then, things get even darker with the ultimate anti-holiday classic, Bad Santa. We revisit Billy Bob Thornton as the drunk, safe-cracking mall Santa, Willie, and pay tribute to the late John Ritter and Bernie Mac.We also take a trip to the neighborhood rent party in Friday After Next, where we discuss the legendary Money Mike and why you never leave your sandwich unattended during a robbery.Finally, we wrap up with Love Hard, debating whether catfishing can actually lead to holiday romance or if the "Love Actually" cue card trick has finally become creepy.Are these actually Christmas movies? Tune in as we discuss all of this plus random things happening in our lives.If you love film analysis, comedy history, and holiday classics with a twist, this is your perfect listen!Subscribe to Do You Even Binge? on YouTube to catch all the clips we reference in our video version.Follow us:Felipe – @FelipeEsparzaComedianLesa – @LesainLA Podcast logo by Alex Major Music by Isaak Wintringham
