We had meant to cover this last Christmas and for multiple reasons, it just didn't work out. But on this episode we take a look at the most controversial remake of Black Christmas, the Sophia Takal version released by Blumhouse in 2019. This film got a lot of hate from the people that it criticizes: straight white males. It's no surprise, since it wears its feminist leanings on its sleeve, but this is a pretty inoffensive film for people to level their ire at. And it's not really that bad - it has some homages to the original film (and other horror movies), it has competent direction and some iconic cinematography, and its first 50 minutes are a treat. But we talk about where it goes wrong and what really got our goat (hint: fake snow). Remote episode, sorry for any issues.
