Just in the St. Nick of time! Whilst we are still
enjoying our “twixtmas” haze on the couch lounging around scrolling
for something fun to watch with family and friends before the New
Year is upon us and we are back from holiday break (if you were
lucky enough to have one!) here is THE DEAN’S LIST of holiday
movies to enjoy before all is said and done.
Dean has listed from “Nice” to “Naughty” his recommendations of
Christmas movies to watch, starting with his favorite classics,
moving to the the “middle” era of holiday fare, on through some
worthy Christmas musicals to be on the look out for as well as
“Christmas ADJACENT” films set at the holiday time, wrapping up
with some truly dark and twisty takes on Santa. Add these to your
queues and enjoy.
In this episode, hosts Lisa and Dean Laffan discuss a wide
range of Christmas movies, from traditional classics to alternate,
horror, comedy and Christmas-adjacent films. They delve into films
like 'It's a Wonderful Life', 'Die Hard', 'How The Grinch Stole
Christmas', 'A Christmas Horror Story', and 'Bad Santa', among many
others. They also chat about some obscure choices such as
'Tangerine' and 'Violent Night'. The conversation also includes
Lisa's reluctant watching experiences and Dean's detailed reviews
and recommendations.
