NERD! Episode 42: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (feat. Emy LaCroix Halle)

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff WRAP up their season on Movies Dre Should've Seen by Now with the 1989 Christmas Comedy classic National Lampoon's Christmas Vacvation. And because we theme these episodes to the corresponding holiday, we've added special guest (and Christmas aficionado) Emy LaCroix Halle (Hobby Hopping with Emy)There's a lot to unpack about this hilarous (yet rooted in controversy) Holiday staple, so let's get 25,000 lights up on the house, jolin the Jelly of the Month Club, and say Grace (even though she died 30 years ago) as we tackle one of the (debatably) greatest Christmas movies of all-time, that for some reason Dre Hadn't Seen Until Now.And, of course, don't forget to follow Emy (@theemylacroix, @hobbyhoppingwithemy) Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!
