VIC VERBST & JENNA OWEN - NUGGETIS DEAD - STAN AUSTRALIA

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Vic Zerbst and Jenna Owen.  Who are the creators creators and stars of Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story which drops on Stan Australia today.  I have always found the 'Christmas movie phenomenon' to be a quite unbelievable with its popularity. I have friends who live for the holiday season just to watch the endless amount of new Christmas movies that drop on streaming platforms and I usually avoid them like the plague.... but this year I was excited to join the crazy because of the people behind this film are whip smart, hilarious and have their finger on the pulse of social commentary. It is almost the anti Christmas movie in a way.  Vic and Jenna talk about their own experiences with Christmas and why they think all families at Christmas are a hot spot for hilarious content. We unpack some of the films influences and I will find out if Muriel's Wedding was something that made an impact on their writing of Golden Nugget.   I will get to find out if this story is based on something that had happened to either of Vic and Jenna You are going to get so much out of this chat in terms of how we view our own family, why Christmas makes us a bit nutty and why this film is the perfect pre Christmas homework. There is so much to talk about with so many inside revelations. So sit back and relax as we unpack the wonderful world of the Stan Original film Nugget is Dead: A Christmas story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
