HAPPY NEW FEAR! Welcome back from Winter break! We get caught up on our respective holiday escapades and successfully avoid talking about the new strain of Coronavirus. Joshua's thoughts on Rudolph have struck a chord with some of our listeners! What other holiday classic can he piss all over? Find out when YULE school returns... at some point way in the future. We tear into the practically universally adored HAPPIEST SEASON and chat about the very tense days after the release of WONDER WOMAN 1984. Joe is reading a book: Shit, Actually The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema by Lindy West! We wanted to ring in the new year with a new movie so we're chatting about Blumhouse's FREAKY! It's a ransom letter of adoration to some of the very best of horror and comedy cinema. We chat about homages in the film, inventive kills, and body swap film tropes. Want to see our floppy anteater pics? Anyone? ANYONE?!
