Posted on by

Merry Christmas Everyone. It’s January, the festive season has come and gone, but seeing as Christmas has been cancelled (in the UK anyway) , here’s our 2020 Christmas episode. Sorry for the delay but this year it’s Chris’s choice and it’s the Arnie Classic Jingle All The Way. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a workaholic dad who forgot to buy his son a Turbo Man doll, the season’s hottest toy. In an attempt to live up to his promises and not let his son down, he has to dash across the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul on Christmas Eve. Hilarity ensues.

Join Becca, Dave and Chris as we watch and discuss the Buzz Lightyear craze, how Arnie gives 100%, the late great Phil Hartman, the tragedy of Jake Lloyd, where did Sinbad go (or come from for that matter), why isn’t this starring Tom Hanks, and other Christmas films.
