IN THIS EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WE’RE BRINGING THE BANTER ACROSS MOVIES, SPORTS, POP CULTURE, AND CURRENT HEADLINES — CAPPED OFF WITH A FESTIVE CHRISTMAS TWIST.

WE KICK THINGS OFF BY TALKING MOVIES AND THE RISE OF TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET, BREAKING DOWN HOW HE’S BECOME HIS OWN MARKETING MACHINE IN HOLLYWOOD. FROM THERE, WE DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF STREAMING AND IRL CREATORS, DISCUSSING WHY DRAMA AND CONTROVERSY COULD START COSTING STREAMERS ACCESS TO MAJOR EVENTS.

SCIENCE GETS A LITTLE SPOOKY AS WE REACT TO NEWS OF A FULLY INTACT CARNIVOROUS DINOSAUR EGG BEING DISCOVERED — AND WHETHER THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO JURASSIC PARK BECOMING REALITY.

ON THE SPORTS SIDE, WE BREAK DOWN NFL GAMES FROM THE WEEK, DISCUSS THE CURRENT PLAYOFF PICTURE, AND GIVE OUR PREDICTIONS BASED ON WHERE THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW. WE ALSO DIVE INTO COLLEGE FOOTBALL, INCLUDING BOWL SEASON SWAG BAGS AND WHICH PROGRAMS REALLY SHOWED OUT. PLUS, WE THROW OUT A HOT TAKE: MARCUS FREEMAN MIGHT BE BETTER OFF MAKING THE JUMP TO THE NFL.

AND SINCE IT’S OUR CHRISTMAS EPISODE, WE WRAP THINGS UP WITH A CHRISTMAS MOVIE SNAKE DRAFT — A LIST THAT’S GUARANTEED TO SPARK SOME DEBATE AND BANTER.

GRAB A DRINK, HIT PLAY, AND LET US KNOW WHICH TAKES YOU AGREE WITH… AND WHICH ONES YOU’RE ARGUING WITH.
