Season 3, Ep. 13: Bad Santa

from Reel Poppycock · host Reel Poppycock Productions

Whether you get knee deep in the Christmas spirit, or have a bit of Scrooge, or the Grinch, or Ed's x-mas sweater of Oscar the Grouch saying "Bah Humbug!" in you, there is something seasonally splendid to satiate your ear holes in Reel Poppycock's episode on the 2003 film "Bad Santa." Directed by Terry Zwigoff, and starring Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Lauren Graham, John Ritter, and Bernie Mac, this ain't your mammy and pappy's Christmas flick. KC, as the most technically inclined member of the Poppycock crew, provides plenty of insight into the intricacies of the heist related hijinks of the movie. While Ed ponders the age old question of: "is Billy Bob actually sexy?" Plenty of Poppycocks get plopped upon this picture, but does Trevor too terribly try to defend this tawdry and timely Christmas classic? You'll just have to listen to find out, enjoy!           00:00:43 KC "Celibates" Kwanzaa with their Bi (not straight) Face   00:02:21 Reel Basic Facts   00:09:57 Ed Can't Get Off it - "Is Billy Bob Actually Sexy?"   00:20:51 Bernie Mac ain't Scared of you Mutha F*ckers   00:35:09 Ed's Story of Getting Booted from a Bar   00:38:19 Poppycock Pop-Quiz   00:47:44 KC agrees with Travis - "Ed, thanks for Plowing Us."   01:09:21 Plowing through Plot Points   01:24:20 It's Time to Slam this Movie aka Poppycock Round-Up   01:29:39 If KC can give "Reservoir Dogs" a 5, then Ed can give "Bad Santa" a 5   01:31:44 Boland Breaks Down Difference Between Bad & Badder Santa           credit to all respective artists for song clips used in this episode, all rights reserved}   - "A Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives - "Nocturne in E-Flat Minor, Op. 2 No. 2" by Frederic Chopin - "Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore" by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir                   Instagram: @reelpoppycock   YouTube: Reel Poppycock    Host K.C. @dangerbrewer on Instagram    Host Ed Lanier @edlaniermusic on Instagram   Host Trevor Boland (He is old, find him on Facebook)
