About this listen

Dave (The Critic) and Hilary (The Cynic) wrap up their first season with the final five contenders of their holiday movie marathon. It's a wild ride through festive tropes, unexpected twists, and a few outright duds as they tackle Hallmark and Netflix’s Christmas offerings one last time.

🎥 Movies Reviewed This Week:
• Hanukkah on the Rocks – A cocktail-infused journey through Hanukkah traditions and some flat characters.
• Carry On – Is it Die Hard 2.0 or just an airport thriller in disguise?
• The Santa Class – A crash course in holiday cheer with a dash of Miracle on 34th Street.
• Following Yonder Star – Scandals, nativity plays, and a bearded B&B owner in Vermont.
• Happy Howlidays – Love, dogs, and predictably mismatched sweaters.

🔍 Highlights Include:
• Dave’s love for action-packed Carry On versus Hilary’s indifference to "men running around."
• A toast to accuracy: Hanukkah portrayed authentically in Hanukkah on the Rocks.
• Motely Santas: The eclectic, endearing crew of The Santa Class.
• Questionable scandals in Following Yonder Star: How big a meltdown is too big?
• The "not-so-cute" dogs of Happy Howlidays—and the curious case of Hallmark’s Mr. Christmas.

📈 Season Takeaways:
Hallmark's catalog surprised Dave, but did it win Hilary over? Spoiler alert: probably not.

Grab your cocoa (or something stronger) and join the fun as Dave and Hilary close the book on 40 holiday films. Stick around for a preview of their next cinematic adventure.
