A whole year of Pro/Con! We love to see it. That's why Lewis and Nick chose to close out the year with a strange little holiday film, "Mixed Nuts" (1994). It's chock-full of 90's comedy personas--woke short king Adam Sandler is a standout--and lazy Christmas humor. Come for Liev Schriber's problematic, yet memorable and affecting, first film role as a trans woman, and stay for Sandler's ukulele-backed crooning. Happy Holidays everyone!
