GBW #110: Deadbeat, Divorced & Deceased (The Santa Clause / Jack Frost [1998] / Jingle All the Way)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, to kick off the holiday season, Chris and Ryan dive into three family features from the mid-to-late-90s in which a deadbeat father must learn the error of his ways through the magic of Christmas. And a little different from normal episodes, we don't reveal which category they fall into until the end of the episode because, frankly, all of these movies are pretty bad upon rewatch. But our discussion starts with 1994's "The Santa Clause," which has had longevity in the form of two sequels and a Disney+ series, and we try and wonder why. Then, we move into 1998's "Jack Frost," a box office bomb that is not as bad as its reputation. Finally, we put those cookies down (now!) to discuss the unhinged 1996 feature "Jingle All the Way."
