Jingle All The Way, and Booster's weird gold pants

Season 1, Episode 19 (Christmas Special 1) - There was Cabbage Patch Kids, Ninja Turtles, Buzz and Woody...but all these pale in comparison to the fictional Turbo Man craze of 1996! Join us as we talk about the time Arnold Schwarzenegger spent his Christmas Eve trying to get the hottest toy in town Jingle All the Way.Synopsis: Workaholic Howard Langston wants to make things up to his wife and son, promising to get the hottest toy of the season, Turbo-Man for his son’s Christmas - As Langston hunts down the elusive gift on Christmas Eve, he competes with a mail man father on the same quest. We start with a wee discussion about some favourite Christmas movies, and films that are tangentially Christmassy and The Cheeky Girls…yeah really. We then go into the whole plot of the movie and address the fact that no one likes Booster (maybe because his weird gold pants). If you would like to let us know what you thought of Jingle All the Way, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at [email protected], or contact us on any of our socials which are listed below.Links:Guardian Article; ‘Bad SantaCon: how the event went from anti-capitalist protest to day of debauchery’:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/09/santacon-new-york-debYouTube; ‘The Cheeky Girls - Have a Cheeky Christmas (Official Music Video)’:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzhdeMahaTMList of all of our socials, including YouTube where you can also subscribe, and listen to full episodes of Rank Rotten:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rankrottenpodThreads: https://www.threads.com/@rankrottenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rankrottenpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rankrottenpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RankRottenPodBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/rankrottenpod.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.
