The Christmas Chronicles 2

Christmas Chronicles 2

Reegs: you ever experimented with nail

Dan: Yes. I have, yeah. I did my toenail once. I had a map on it, it was made for me. I was on holiday.

Reegs: Alright. A map of

what? How big is

Cris: A map of, Australia.

Dan: toe? I said a map, I meant flag.

Sidey: map, I

Cris: flag. A map! It's the map from,

Dan: big toes. My, my big toe's pretty big. But

Sidey: the hitcher? It was

Dan: was a flag, not a man.

Cris: map.

of Vietnam.

Dan: Yeah. Japan,

Sidey: Very nice.

Cris: Wow.

Dan: I

take

it you've never experimented with lipsticks or, or eyeliner?

Reegs: I don't think so. Not really? No. No.

You should

Oh, maybe I should've done,

Dan: You

Cris: Yeah, but pedicure is a good man. I love a pedicure.

Sidey: Yeah, you do that, don't you? I occasionally get my back waxed. That's as far as I go. Yeah.

Dan: I've never, I've

Reegs: my feet are too brutal to expose to somebody else. To like,

Cris: no, I thought so too, but this girl was like, Oh, your feet are so soft. And it was actually, she, she did actually make it quite funny

Sidey: She, she fancied you,

Cris: looked at me and she's like, We're not painting them, are we? You do whatever you want. If you want to paint them, I don't care. I had a vulture. Yeah, I had a vulture.

Yeah, I had trainers on anyway. So it

Sidey: segues very nicely into something that I watched this week. Silence of the Lambs.

Dan: Oh, right, okay.

Sidey: Don't know if you've ever seen that, it's not bad, it's not bad at all.

Cris: I've heard of it. I've heard it's really good.

Sidey: It

gets a strong recommend from me.

Cris: Okay.

Reegs: It puts the lotion on the skin, I think. Then

gets, it gets the hose again.

Sidey: Yeah, and I also watched HEAT.

Wow.

Reegs: That's also a good

Cris: movie.

I don't know.

They together

Sidey: They, they have a sequence together at the same time. It's really good.

Very, very

Cris: I watched it, but it was a long time ago. I think only when it came

Sidey: out. Well, it's on, I think I, I think I picked it up.

Cris: No, I know it's good. I, I remember, I remember watching it, but, but then

Sidey: There's a category on Prime of films that 30 days, and it's on that. That's why, that's why I saw it. I think because I'd watched Silence of the Lambs, and that was one of those. This was the next one it suggested to me. Yeah. Real,

Cris: should have a look at the expiring

Sidey: blokey film, isn't it?

But it's tremendous. And then there was loads of homework to get through, so that's all I managed to see.

Cris: Right. Okay.

Dan: I watched Escape Plan. Never seen that

Reegs: Oh, I've seen that. Yeah.

Cris: Is that Stallone?

Reegs: and Schwartzenegger.

Yeah.

Sidey: Store one.

Cris: Is

that the one where he goes to prison? Yeah. Oh, right, I've seen it. But there's a couple of them, no?

Reegs: He, he plays a guy who is supposed to break out a

Dan: He, he invented prisons, this guy.

Reegs: and then he's put in, Wouldn't

you know, he is put in an unbreakable

Dan: He goes into, yeah, well he goes into prisons to prove how, where their security is, let them down and things.

But this time he's gone in. And they've kind of done away with the records. So he's actually an inmate that has to escape. Stallone's in there as well. And there's a scene early on when he's in trouble. Rocky's in trouble. And all the other people, inmates are coming in, closing him in. But there's Like Swartz comes in and just goes, No, it can't happen.

Sidey: just

Cris: kind

Dan: And they just kind of end it there and become mates and MacGyver their way out of

Sidey: never seen it, I

Reegs: Oh, it's good. There's a sequel.

Dan: Yeah.

Cris: That's what I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure there's two of them. I'm pretty sure I've

Dan: You would hope by the second time they've got it better. I mean, there was Enough promise in it and you've got those two guys

Sidey: know

Dan: yeah, yeah, it was it was easy to watch and I watched time cop as well.

Sick brag

Sidey: Oh yes. Yeah.

Dan: so I went back back to the roots really I fancied a Van Damme one because I haven't seen him in years really

Cris: not

since that Coors commercial, no?

Dan: No, that's it yeah and and this was one of his better ones it's not bad it's okay

Sidey: he had that series, didn't he? Where he played himself?

Dan: Yeah. JCBD.

Sidey: of

Reegs: Yeah. JCVD. I never watched it,

Sidey: No, it wasn't called. That was it. Yeah. The Prime series.

Dan: It

was no, he was, he played himself when he was a real secret agent.

Sidey: was a secret double, yeah.

Dan: Is it a film or is

Sidey: No, it was a, it was a series on Prime.

Dan: Right.

Wow. Wow.

Cris: I did watch

because I wasn't here last week and I had, well I went to London and then I came back and I watched the The one you recommended, dad, there's whores and stuff here.

Sidey: Oh the nice

Cris: Yes, I

Sidey: anal and stuff. Just say, just say I'm doing anal, don't say in stuff.

Cris: Honestly.

Sidey: It's great, isn't it? It's so

Cris: Oh, it's so funny. I actually thought I watched that before, but I didn't. I've never watched that. It was, honestly, it

Sidey: So good. Ryan Gosling's comedic timing there,

Cris: A very strong recommend. I really, really enjoyed that. And I've watched the killers of the silver

moon.

Sidey: Was it good? It's quite long, isn't it? It takes it's time.

Cris: It's, it's I dunno, I, I thought it was gonna be better than what it was, but I am not a film critic. I just like to watch movies, but I, I dunno.

Dan: Well, you are a film critic on here. We've got the other one that I started to watch just while before I forget, was the Dial of Destiny.

Reegs: Oh, I wanna see that. I hear everybody

Dan: I, I've just, yeah, I've heard it's rubbish and, but I've seen all the other Indiana Jones

Sidey: jive Turkey,

Dan: and I'm, it started okay though.

Sidey: okay though. Mm.

Dan: No, okay. What would have started okay? I'm about half an hour in.

Sidey: Okay.

Dan: Riggs, did you?

Reegs: Are we recording the episode then? Have we started yet? Oh right, okay.

Dan: about eight minutes ago, yeah?

Reegs: right, okay. When did it start though?

Sidey: Put Dan's flag in the

Reegs: Oh right,

Dan: Oh, you're keeping that in, are you? You're gonna embarrass me with a map on my

Sidey: Unless you want to edit it, in which case you can do what you

Reegs: So this is, this is our pre Christmas, so we're, this is our

Sidey: our this will go out on Friday the 22nd, which is not Christmas Eve, but it's like the last working

Reegs: Yeah,

Sidey: if you're listening

Reegs: So if you're listening to this, you're listening to just a bunch of jingle bell ends

and, a load of hum buggery. Yeah

Sidey: went to town today and stocked up on my Christmas cheese. Yeah.

Goat cheese of some description, but I got that one that has got the defibrillator description when we had the notes. It's called the Delista Burgoyne

Reegs: It's not like that battery acid thing

Sidey: No, this was the one that's actually fairly mild in flavor, but super super creamy texturally like 10 out of 10 So i'm excited for that

Reegs: What time do you bring the cheese out on Christmas

Sidey: Guess we're probably looking about five o'clock

Reegs: Yeah, I was

Cris: gonna say after, after six,

Sidey: So what time do you have your main Sunday lunch like Christmas, you know turkey like

Reegs: I don't know, two o'clock? Is that about

Sidey: something like that.

It's hard to put

Cris: Two, three, yeah, whenever it's ready, you

Sidey: Yeah, and then I can't really be bothered with dessert. I'm fairly stuffed and then I just want, there's just too much food and then I think they, because we go to the in laws and they'll prepare a ham and that, I don't think it's been touched in like 10 years. They just keep doing it.

I'm like, you could probably just not make that.

Reegs: Yet tonight we are almost bereft of

Sidey: I know, I know. I did think about bringing the cheese that I bought today and then reloading on more cheese tomorrow, but I said happy Christmas to them today and I felt like it'd be weird to go

Reegs: To go back,

Sidey: having announced that already, yeah.

Dan: Yeah, all things considered with our our normal Kind of array of goods. We've got a packet of salt and vinegar, Chris, some throat and chest, chest sweets, and, and one Malm.

Reegs: one

Dan: Yeah, well,

Sidey: I've got, so,

Cris: a bottle of wine. I can see it

Sidey: a while back Chris and I had a journey to London and that is the bottle of wine that Chris

bought

Reegs: brought from

Cris: wine.

Sidey: I

Dan: da, da. I've had it in

Sidey: it's been in the cupboard for so long and Chris isn't drinking at the moment, but I might not drink next year. So I thought, fuck it. I'm just going to have it tonight.

We can enjoy it

Dan: Are you thinking of going a year

Sidey: No. No, I think I might, I might restrict myself to midweek drinking only. thAt makes me sound like a fucking alcoholic. Like, what I mean is just have the occasional drink. But if I, I'm doing this cycling challenge for charity and I, I, if I drink at the weekends and I won't train at the weekends.

So I thought weekend drinking is out. So I might just have your drink like here, there

and

Dan: though. Monday to Friday

Sidey: it before.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: And so I thought, I'll just enjoy that tonight. So my next, I was thinking if I stop New Year's Eve, then my next drink will be a Milan.

Reegs: Oh yeah.

Sidey: Mid

June, mid to late June.

Dan: Oh, that's a

Cris: Yeah. You can do six months now. And

Sidey: Yeah, easy, especially that time of year. And then that still gives me, like, drinking back into the summer, so. Yeah, anyway, no one really needs to know about that. Should we talk about our movie this

Reegs: Yeah, what was it?

Sidey: This is Christmas Chronicles 2. And

Reegs: and this one picks up directly after the events of the thing

Sidey: two years after.

Does

Reegs: doesn't it? Yeah

Sidey: Yes,

Reegs: It definitely is surely

Sidey: Yeah, you're right actually.

Dan: Yeah, straight after The Thing. But two years after the first. Yeah. Yeah. It's Kurt Russell he's back with his amazing hair

Sidey: I think, am I not right in thinking that your Mrs Riggs has the real thing for him

Reegs: real thing for him? Yeah, she likes a bit of Father

Dan: you watch all this together then did you find

Reegs: watch

Sidey: out of the room for a moment. But there's something for everyone because Goldie Hawn is looking great in this film as

Reegs: And that's his real life

Sidey: Yeah, although what I would like to point out, Kayleigh, if you're listening is they have been together since 1983 but are unmarried.

Cris: Yeah, I like that. I'm all for that.

Sidey: So have some of that.

But this is a sequel.

Reegs: Did you

see the first one?

Dan: It's the two that gives it away.

Reegs: You saw the first one?

Dan: the first,

Reegs: And have you seen this at all? No. The first one really was a bit of a banger, wasn't it?

Sidey: It's decent.

Dan: Yeah,

Reegs: good songs, it's got Stephen Van Zandt in it.

Sidey: it.

In this and all.

Reegs: written by Was he?

Sidey: Yeah.

Well, he wrote a song for

Reegs: song for this. Ah and it was written by Chris Columbus, the first one, and this one's directed by him. Your favourite director,

Cris: that Christopher Columbus son?

Sidey: Yes, yeah, it is, Yeah.

Reegs: Home Alone director, Chris Columbus.

Sidey: And

the first one, maybe two Harry Potter films.

And also Gremlins.

sport.

Reegs: wrote Gremlins, didn't he? It

Sidey: He's got a Christmas thing. He's got a Christmas tradition in his movies. But we'll get onto that after we've spoken about the film itself.

Reegs: itself.

Dan: spoken about the film

Sidey: this. But it doesn't start off in a traditional Christmas setting, does

it?

Reegs: No, it starts off in Cancun.

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: On the beach. What do you feel about a Christmas on the beach? Cause she bitches about it straight away and that's how I would feel about it as

Sidey: probably wouldn't vocalise it quite so vehemently as she does. But I don't

think I've,

ever had one. I think I've always had a winter Christmas.

Dan: had more than my fair share of summer Christmases on the

Sidey: It would

Reegs: still have a turkey? What do you

Dan: and,

Cris: He is a turkey.

Reegs: Oh yeah,

Dan: a veggie anyway, so, well, I don't eat turkey.

Sidey: you know.

Dan: no yeah, Santa hats on the beach. I've done that before. Lovely. Yeah. Nice and warm. Yeah. Have a cold beer. Brilliant. Yeah. Not at all bad. But yeah, she didn't like it in the start there. I'll, I'll kind of,

Sidey: because it's two

Dan: with a film.

Sidey: coming together.

Yeah. A black family and a white family.

Dan: Divorced the pair of them, I think. And sort of the

Reegs: Dead!

Sidey: No, the dad, the dad is dead.

Dan: Oh, that what her.

Sidey: I think both, maybe both partners are

Dan: dead. They're both widowed. Are they Fire accident,

I think Right. Okay.

Reegs: I don't know, they didn't make it clear in this one. But it's Tyrese Gibson from the Fast and

Sidey: Furious franchise.

Yeah, I, what I would say is that I think that the mom was, was really punching because Tyrese is like flaming hot.

And the mom, I would probably give her six outta 10, and I, I wouldn't wanna take things down to just scoring women on their looks. Yeah. But she had the better end of the deal.

Reegs: You think so? Yeah. All right.

Cris: Yeah, what is this? Is this Christmas Chronicles? Yeah. And this has Tyrese in it?

Really? Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. Really?

Sidey: really.

Dan: 2, yeah.

Cris: Oh yeah, it does.

Reegs: It's called Kurt Russell in it.

Cris: in it.

No, I know, but also,

Sidey: a stellar cast. It's an all star cast,

Cris: got that Mexican kid. I can't

Dan: he plays, He's

Sidey: Mexican? He's New Zealand, isn't he?

Cris: Is he? Yeah. Is I thought he's

Reegs: Julian Denison. Yeah. We'll get

Dan: in a couple of decent movies. So Tyree Gibson plays, sorry, Bob Booker and his son

Reegs: Right, they have a scene. It's one of these things that they only do in movies where they go on holiday and then they all fuck off and like, you know, the kids Like the parents are like oh, we're just gonna go and do our own thing for a couple of days You go to us like what?

Dan: Well, yeah, that's a little bit later that's a little bit later on, but it

Sidey: No, because, yeah, we've got scenes of the daughter being a completely spoiled cunt for, like, a good portion of the intro. Yeah. Where she's just being a really fucking affected, like, I don't like you because you're happy and you're trying to, you're trying to move on from your traumatic past to find happiness.

I don't like that. And

Reegs: I'm really, I can't believe you're gonna sing one of seven Christmas songs that there are. And I'm gonna be really offended because it was my dad's favourite song.

Sidey: dad's favourite song. Yeah,

Dan: Ends up trying to run away given the opportunity after bells nickel, which is julian denison who is also in dead paul Also in the call of

Sidey: the, where the wild things,

Reegs: for the Wilderpeople.

Dan: That's it and he's carving out a really kind of Good set of films that he's, he's been involved in. He's the baddie, Belznickel, the elf that was Santa's best elf, but then turned

Sidey: I dunno if he was that good to be honest, but

Dan: He was pretty good.

Sidey: He was sloppy.

Dan: And he creates this opportunity to Get them all in to different areas. So mum and dad have won these coupons to take them off to some Mayan ruins.

Sidey: Yeah, they're going to the beach in Old and the kids are going to the kids club and someone else is doing some blah. I mean, this is a proper MacGuffin

Reegs: Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sidey: So eventually they get portalled into the North Pole. That's what happens. And rekindling the,

Reegs: Belsnick or Trixim and whatever. And meanwhile, let's just, let's talk about Santa because it's really the only reason to watch this movie. Santa is amazing and he's like a Marvel superhero in his, in his like outfit. It's sort of not your traditional, is it?

It's like quite form hugging

Dan: kind of red leathers, isn't it?

Reegs: And he's introduced

Sidey: Yeah, he's not your big, fat, ho ho ho Santa. He's more your dashing magnificent

Reegs: can't, we, we probably have talked already about that, but he's introduced fighting this Cat Jolla thing,

Sidey: Yeah, there's a whole load of Norse mythology around that, which is probably more interesting.

Reegs: But yeah, he's, he's fighting the cat and being all dashing and

Sidey: I thought the cat looked a bit like BAAs from Watchman Ozzy men's cat.

Dan: Do you know where it was filmed that, that resort.

Sidey: St.

Peter Port.

Dan: It was not far from St. Peterport, it's in Playa del Carmen, 30 miles from Cancun. At the Fairmont Mayacoba.

Sidey: Cove off. No. How many stars does it get on Expedia?

Dan: It's actually you laugh, but it's five times winner of the American Automobile Association AAA Diamond

Sidey: I take it back, I didn't know that. I wish

Cris: Playa del Carmen

Reegs: Don't you feel like a fucking

Cris: for cruise ships.

Dan: There you go.

Cris: Cozumel, they always land,

Sidey: it those like swingers cruise ships? yeah. I'm gonna be on that. Yeah, so the kids get ported off to the North Pole. We learn about this MacGuffin star. They have a really epic

Reegs: it's called the Star of Bethlehem, isn't it? So it's got some religious connotation to it,

Sidey: Sort of. It's being magicked into the sky to create It's, it's supposed

Reegs: It's it's supposed to be like the Northern Lights, right? And it's a void that only Santa can pass

through. Except when the plot

Sidey: that

Reegs: Belsnickel to go through

Sidey: can pass

Dan: Yeah, well it comes down with kind of lightning or stuff like that,

Sidey: well it comes down to kind of lightning and stuff like that.

Reegs: She talks about Santa's, the elves origins in Turkey. Is that right?

Sidey: That's right. Yeah.

Reegs: And he, he, they were being hunted by humans, the elves, and Santa protected them.

Dan: That's right, yeah, he

Sidey: there's no, that, that's obviously bullshit. 'cause we would know about that then,

Reegs: Yeah, that's true, that's true. But anyway, Belsnickel was his, we get the lowdown on Belsnickel, who was his favourite apprentice, but was really needy, basically. And needed more of Santa's time, didn't get it, and eventually he transgressed the five things that

Sidey: It's like seven this bit, isn't it?

It's the seven deadly sins. There's the five elf equivalents of them.

Reegs: And once you do it you turn into a human comically with one big hand at a time, which is quite good And then the legs made me

Dan: And that's the most awful thing that you could be if you, if you're an elf.

Sidey: a kiwi. Yeah, yeah. And

Reegs: and so and the movie spends a lot of time wandering around showing us how things work, you know The presents and shit Lego we get some Lego product placements quite nice. Enjoyed that You getting any Lego this year? Because

Sidey: year? No, because the ones that I would like cost eight million grand. Like the Death Star and,

Reegs: getting a load of

Sidey: little bit Okay, that's pretty rad. I, see, I would like it, I, like an Afol. Yeah. But I don't want to have to build, like, kids

Reegs: to build

Sidey: Fuck that, no.

No way. I'm out.

Dan: No. I think we are getting LEGO as a present. not

getting it. Giving it.

Sidey: out, yeah, fair enough. And the movie also does stuff with some things.

Reegs: Yeah. Other stuff.

Sidey: Well,

Dan: Well, they sing and dance at one

Sidey: Well, they do because they get

ported around what does he call it, a time twister?

Belsnickel puts a time twister device.

Reegs: Also Dasher the

Sidey: gets murdered

Reegs: murdered nearly by the battle cap.

Dan: I'll, I'll say I had to kind of cajole child into watching this.

Sidey: One of your own? One

Dan: One of my own. And

just grab anyone. And by this point, they're enjoying it. You know, yeah, they're in. They're

Sidey: watching it with a ten year old with my own and she was enjoying it.

Yeah so there's a scene in the airport because there's, there's the, yeah, it's garbage. There's a time twister device put on the sleigh which sends them back and there's another child that the girl, I can't be bothered to, like, remember her name.

Reegs: Trudy.

I didn't actually think it is, isn't it?

It

Dan: might be.

Cris: Gertrude.

Reegs: Kate.

Sidey: Kate. Kate. Not quite, Julie. She meets this other child who helps her and straight away you fucking guess that it's gonna be her dad. And, but there's a scene in the airport

Arrivals? Departures?

Whatever it is. And did you know who that was singing?

Reegs: I yes. It was

Sidey: was It's Darlene Love. Yes. And she sings Marshmallow World, which is fact, factually one of the best Christmas songs of all time. So that elevated the movie for me.

Reegs: really, everybody hated this. This was absolutely the high point of the movie. It was the only part where there's any like emotional arc where she has learned something. I

Sidey: something.

And then

Reegs: Pearson never gets what gives up and Christmas and something, and then there's a big song, but the song's great and everybody's flipping around and

Sidey: around. Santa sings.

Reegs: as fuck,

Sidey: She's

Dan: She's gone back in time to see her father as well, hasn't she?

Reegs: Yeah, that's what

Sidey: all the stuff that we've just spoken about, yeah. She needs

she doesn't realise until they're parting ways and she calls him

Reegs: those batteries, by the way,

Sidey: she does. But what if the security guard's all over her?

Reegs: No, but she actually does, because after all of that, when her dad jimmies the lock to free them, she still hasn't paid, and she's got those batteries, because she replaces Belsnickle's doodle fuck thing to get him back through time.

After the big sing song, just like in Elf, the reindeers are recharged or whatever, and off they go.

Dan: We all went to the shops afterwards and just nicked batteries. We couldn't

Sidey: Well that was the message of the film, it's okay to shop at Christmas, it's fine. Well Santa basically becomes a psychotic lunatic, as does Belsnickel, and they have a, like a chicken moment, basically, where Mrs.

Claus has to gun them down out of the sky to stop them from murdering each other. That's what happens.

Reegs: it is. And they crash their sleds, don't they?

Sidey: Yeah, they do. They crash, and then they kind of realize that

both being completely unreasonable.

Reegs: Yeah, also, what we haven't mentioned, really, the massive low point of the film is probably why we haven't mentioned it, which dominates the running time, is the elves have been poisoned with

Spain. And one of the kids has been sent off to get some antidote to it, but it's turned them into like monstrous CGI, gremlin esque twats.

Really awful. And it dominates the movie,

this stupid

Sidey: Because obviously you get various different incarnations of what elves might look like and in this they're tiny little I'd say more like gnomes They're really small and they're trying to yeah, like gremlin eyes them and it just doesn't work.

It's

Reegs: And a lot of the movie is about the elf mythology, and it's supposed to be about Father Christmas, for goodness sake. So, yeah.

Sidey: sake I'd say

Reegs: Yeah, for fuck's sake,

Dan: Wow.

Sidey: I felt quite strongly about that too

Reegs: And at one point, they drop Who Let The Dogs Out for comedic value. Which has got to be the low point in any movie.

Dan: No, it's true,

Sidey: Weird. Yeah. The plot kind of resolves itself in that they realise they're both being twats and they learn a

Reegs: learn a lesson.

Sidey: And they basically, I don't think they save Christmas because this, this whole drama is entirely Well, I

Reegs: it's really about her

Sidey: really about her family. Something, something about families. and goes back and she realizes that she was being a complete unreasonable dick. And says, it's okay for you to, to

Dan: have sex with other

Sidey: about the people.

And the old man has to still like climb down and say, we'll just take it day by day. That's how it kind of

Reegs: of finishes.

Well, it finishes with an awful song where she's been modulated like that.

Sidey: Oh

Reegs: If you believe.

Sidey: Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Dan: a dry

Reegs: hell. They

Sidey: I'm my eyes were pretty dry. I have to say.

Dan: my,

Reegs: And my cock was flacid

Can we edit that out

Sidey: wasn't a

Dan: But you spoke for us all really because there wasn't a lot to get excited about.

Reegs: I really liked the first one as

Sidey: a big, big drop in quality

Dan: is a, it is a big drop in, in quality, but there was enough to keep us entertained

Sidey: I mean, my

Reegs: Oh, the kids loved

Sidey: my daughter doesn't have quite such a critical eye about these sort of things and she really enjoyed it. So if if you want to stick 10 year old kids in front of it, they'll be fine with it.

But

Reegs: I did enjoy watching it as a family, you know, putting it on, but as a movie, it's pretty garbage and the acting's terrible and the plot, such as it is, is like

Sidey: completely throwaway here. It's

Reegs: something that you'd really uninteresting and just an excuse to put CGI elves on screen and Julian Dennison.

I'm sorry. I really like him. Awful in this, like,

Sidey: Oh, he phones in.

Reegs: I don't know if it's phoning it in, it just doesn't work. Yeah, faxed, yeah, could have been,

Sidey: Maybe Telex. I've mentioned before that about Chris Columbus. He he has a thing about a movie. It's called A Wonderful Life from 1946. He has it playing quite a lot in his films. So

Reegs: It's in this,

Sidey: 42 minutes,

Reegs: seen It's A Wonderful Life, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Sidey: 42 minutes 10. Santa and Mrs. Claus are by the fireside watching the TV and it's it's a wonderful life in an elvish language dub. In Home Alone 1990, the McAllister family are watching it in French while in Paris. In Home Alone 2, the McAllister family once again are watching it, this time in Spanish.

And in Gremlins the Peltzer family are watching it but in

Reegs: but in English. Nice. That's some good It's a Wonderful Life. And

Sidey: It's easily the most interesting thing about this film.

Reegs: stuff.
