Listen "100. Not Quite Christmas"

Episode Synopsis

To end the fourth season of the show Alex and Jonathan talk about three films that relate to Christmas but might not be considered your traditional "Christmas movie:" Gremlins (1984), Lethal Weapon (1987), and Hook (1991). We talk about what really makes a Christmas movie, how formerly niche genres have slowly crept into the mainstream over time, and how Steven Spielberg was largely responsible for that.

31:05 - Lethal Weapon
42:03 - Hook
58:19 - Overall
1:05:41 - Coming Attractions

Stay tuned for Season 4 in January!
