 Adam Does Movies Live, November 28th, it's Tuesday, and I'm in pain. I'm gonna tell you why. I, oh, I noticed my camera is like slightly askew. Let me fix that first. I'm already off to a good start for the podcast. I recently made the jump into Invisalign, the invisible braces that grown men wear to try to straighten their disgusting teeth. You may not have noticed. It's pretty obvious to me, but I have really bad jagged teeth on the bottom. It's a nightmare and now you will not unsee it now that I've pointed it out. I do my best to hide it, but it's rough. It's a rocky road down there. My teeth are actually in great shape though. Very hard, strong, fierce alpha teeth. I just don't like how it looks. So I got the Invisalign and it is absolutely miserable right now. I had to take them out. I can't talk with them on very well. I get saliva built up. I have the case right here, they're inside. So I really only have an hour stream at the most because I got to get these back in. You have to wear them for 22 hours a day, bare men. And I think we can cover this in an hour. I'm excited. I have put together a list of 25 Christmas holiday flicks that I think the whole family will enjoy. If not just you or just me really because this is my list. So it's not gonna have a lot of your stock films in there. We all know the classics. There are some, don't get me wrong, there are some. I had to fill this list out. It turns out my roster's comprised of about 15 strong, hearty Christmas movies. And the rest are just kind of, they're fluff and filler but we put them in there for good representation. Housekeeping notes before I get started. Super chats, always welcome on the live streams. It's how I make a bulk of the revenue on this channel. I put in a ton of work on this. I appreciate it. If you guys can throw that super chat my way to say thanks or a super thanks. If you're catching this after the live stream is done you can do that right in the comments. Or no, I'm sorry, right underneath the video there's a icon somewhere. Other note after this stream is done I will be on Twitch at twitch.tv slash add on those movies playing probably a little Mario maker too. So that'll be, that'll be fun. You can join me there afterwards. If you're watching on Twitch right now that stream will end and another one will start up after this one, just a forewarning. I posted two movie thingies today on the channel. A review for American fiction. I saw a early screener at the Regal Monday mystery movie. I thought it was pretty solid but it had a really bad ending that almost ruined all the goodwill built up. Not enough for me to hate it. I gave it a positive, a fresh score on rotten tomatoes but it's not a movie I would recommend you run out and watch. It's definitely something you could stream at home and be like, oh yeah, this was fine. This had its heart in the right place. And then I put a roast out for The Hunger Games a movie that I think is very, very fine very serviceable to the book, not great, not terrible. I like catching fire a lot. I think the later ones are a little better but overall it's a fine franchise. Nothing that I really need to go back and ever watch again but it was really fun doing the roast and it saddens me to see the low numbers on that video. Come on people, why aren't you watching these? I love the movie roast. There are tons of fun for me to actually watch. I actually watch the movie roast when I'm done editing them and I have a good time. If I'm liking them, I imagine other people are but I don't see the numbers showing up which is sad. It's very sad to me. So check out the roast if you want to, if not then I'll just I guess start to get the message. All right, last update, another personal one, The Pool. We got the neighbor putting in the pool. He's got three giant palm trees now. The rock slide is in. It's fucking Disney World next door. It's a complete shit show. The finally though, he has the fence going up. The posts have been put in. This is apparently a five, six day process to get the fence going. My grass is all tore up in the back. Supposedly that's getting repaired, whatever at this point, I don't care, just get it done. This has been several months in the making. I'm excited for it to finally come to a close. Okay, I am noticing that right out of the gates shot out of a cannon. Master Sergeant with the Christmas wish come true. $50 Super Chat. I don't even know what to say. I'm paying off these goddamn Invisaligns just like that. Let's do this, Master Sergeant says. Christmas beats all, lose the pain, wear those weird braces, take some Tylenol and get to the movies. Well said, sir. Thank you very much. Kyle Nelson for a $2 Super Chat says, can we increase your pain for more money? I don't know. These things are really freaking tight. And I think it's because some of my top teeth are just kind of herky jerky going different directions. So they're gonna go in hard. They're gonna try to get things started right away the right way. Didn't sleep last night. If my energy level seems low, it's because it is. It's because it is. Okay, let's get going. Let's fire this up. Let's fire this bad boy up. And we're gonna start with, I wanna, I always have caveats. Every time I have caveats on these lists, the first one I wanna point out, this is not an order. There's 25 movies on here, herky jerky all over the place. If I said herky jerky twice already, that's crazy. I guess that's the phrase of the night. Herky jerky. We're starting at it's a wonderful life. Second caveat I wanna throw out. Like I said earlier, I have about 15 that I'm really gung-ho about. The rest of these are just kind of superficial wife picks. These are a representation of Lindsay. My wife Lindsay really loves It's a Wonderful Life. Came out in the 40s, black and white stable. There's probably a color-fied version of it. Get away from that crap. We want the O, G, B and W. We follow George Bailey. He's got an angel. He says some catchphrases. It's a whole magical thing. What I do really appreciate about It's a Wonderful Life. This is not my cup of tea by the way. I'm not really an It's a Wonderful Life guy as far as the story goes. Although it is very heartfelt, it's touching. I think it looks beautiful. This thing shot in 1946. It looks gorgeous. Great framing. I love the snow. When he's out on the bridge, ready to take his own life. I mean, there's just some really good lighting frame-ups. It's a wonderful film for a lot of reasons. Not really one I go back and revisit, but I can appreciate the hell out of it. Next up on here, and we have several versions of Miracle on 34th Street. This is my wife's pick, 1994 one, with the girl from Matilda. And Chris Kringles played by R.I.P. Richard Attenborough, Jurassic Park Man himself. I've seen pieces of this movie a million times over the course of my life, but I've never sat down and watched this movie from front to back. It's a Lindsay staple. She puts it on every year at her house. I catch a little bit more. Macy's is prominently featured. I know that. There's a lot of Macy's conversation in this film. Yeah, Chris Kringle though. He's just such a beloved guy, isn't he? He's a real chip off the old block. My wife loves this film. Last one for my wife, and then we get into stuff that I'm very familiar with. Listen, everybody knows a Christmas story. I know a Christmas story. It's just not one that I revisit like a lot of other families have. I don't think my kids have seen it. I know. I know, bad parenting. I understand. I kind of was traumatized by this movie when I was a kid because of the pole scene outside. When Ralphie goes and gets the tongue stuck on the pole during school, during class. I mean, I had like nightmares for weeks because I lived in Minnesota at the time. I grew up there for, you know, I lived there for 39 years of my life of my wretched existence. And it gets cold as shit. And that could absolutely happen. You freeze that tongue to the pole. That's game over. Of course, Dumb and Dumber did this as well. But Ralph, that was more real because I was a little kid with him. I was his age. We have, you know, he's looking for a BB gun. I like when Santa kicks his head down the slide. There's some great lines in this film. You have a leg lamp that's very iconic. It's just, it's another classic. Came out in the 80s. I love the 80s. I love the 90s. Can't really complain about it. All right, let's get to the good stuff. I don't even know if this is considered a movie. I put Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer on here. Here's the thing. This is a placeholder for several TV movies. So Rudolph goes in here. Frosty the snowman. Charlie Brown Christmas. And how the Grinch stole Christmas. Okay, we got four in here. Four for the price of fun. Most of these I love because everyone in them is a complete asshole. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is chock full of terrible individuals. The lead elf is a dick. He sounds like Lewis Black. Santa's kind of an ass. He's more, he's more interested in Rudolph after he finds out his special ability can help his dear reindeer fly through the night. Rudolph's dad's a prick. He tries to cover up his nose with mud. I love it. I love this movie. Everybody's terrible. Frosty the snowman. Arguably worse. He straight up kidnaps these children. They take a hat from a magician who's just trying to make ends meet for all I know. The poor guy goes to the school. He's put it on a show. Is he struggling? Yeah, he's struggling. But you know what? You got a bunch of whiny snot-nosed brats heckling him from the crowd. And the sound effects in that movie are freaking hilarious. Every time he drops a pencil or something it sounds like a full orchestra falls down the stairs. Good stuff. Let's get past that. So these bratty kids take the guy's hat. It's his livelihood. Now he's gonna be on the streets now turning tricks. They put it on a snowman, brings this asshole to life and Frosty's like, hey kids, why don't we get on the train and go to the North Pole? Oh, but what about my mom and dad? Don't worry about your mom and dad. Just let's just get on the train, okay? Just get on the train. But my mom probably, parents suck, who cares? Let's get on the train. Parents suck. And he just straight up takes this girl. Okay, Liam Neeson would not be thrilled with this Frosty. I love this movie. It's such a shit. These movies are so fun. Rudolph looks great still. I love the stop motion claymation weirdness that's going on with it. It's a great time. 1964? Oh man, you gotta love it. You love to see it. Side note. Little, little side note. I think these are on the channel somewhere. You can find my review of Frosty the Snowman. There's also a movie feud somewhere. Frosty the Snowman versus Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Those are fun videos. I'm pretty sure they're old, but they're pretty fun. Did I miss? Oh, let's go to the start and super chat. That's how you find it easy. Kyle Nelson for $5. Thank you, Kyle. Can we get a list of overrated Christmas movies in the future? Mine is Scrooged. I just think it's too, I don't know that word nihilistic. Yeah, I know that word nihilistic. Yeah. Kyle, honestly, I agree with you on Scrooged and that's gonna bother some people, but I saw that recently as in last year. I finally watched Scrooged. I saw it when I was a kid. I don't really count it because I saw it bits and pieces and I just didn't really care for it that much. It felt long. It felt kind of just, it was a weird movie for sure. Kyle, I kind of like that idea. Top 10 most overrated Christmas movies. I would put that on there. I'd probably throw a Nightmare on Elm Street. Not Nightmare on Elm Street. A Nightmare Before Christmas. Nightmare on Elm Street. That's an overrated Christmas film. I'd probably put a Nightmare on Elm, let me say it again. The Nightmare Before Christmas, I'd put Love Actually on there. All right, I could think about this for a while. Thank you, Kyle, for completely derailing me. But yes, Scrooged is not on this list. Thought about putting it on here to be cool, but I didn't. You know what is cool, though? I have yet to find a single person on the history of planet Earth that doesn't fucking love national lampoon's Christmas vacation part in my French, but it needed to be sworn. This movie is freaking perfect. I love Christmas vacation. Salt of the Earth, blue collar family coming together. You got a grandma with dementia who's packaging up her cat. You got a sketchy brother, sketchy brother-in-law who's pumping sewage into the sewer right next to your house. They're gonna be there for a while. He brought the camper in. They're gonna be staying for a while. Uncle Eddie, he's not going anywhere. He's also gonna abduct the boss of the company you work at because he didn't get your bonus check for your pool. I'm a big Chevy fan. Chevy from the 80s, early 90s is gold. I love his dry, sarcastic wit. He's perfect. He's got that butt chin that's really fun too. I like a good butt chin on a guy or a girl. It's just a good look for me. I think it's fun. You can put your finger there. You can put a quarter there. You know, like it's a slot machine. What else? There's just so many great little moments in this film from him putting a million lights on his house to constantly vandalizing the neighbor's next door, one of which is Elaine from Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Gold in a little bit of time she has on camera. You got the mom from everybody loves Raymond in this. I love her, RIP. There's just, there's so many good scenes. Him falling off the ladder. Him going down the hill on his sled. That's, it's like titanium alloy. Obviously you have the wink and the nod to fast times. A lot of stuff here. Great movie. Tons of quotable movies or quotable movies. You can tell I'm tired because I can't talk. Tons of quotable lines in this movie. Tons of quotable movies. Geez, Adam, figure your life out. Trading places. There are two big reasons to watch Trading Places. And they're probably not what you think. I mean, yes, Eddie Murphy's great. Dan Ackroyd's fantastic. But I was talking about the two that rest beautifully underneath of Jamie Lee Curtis's chin. Out of nowhere. Shot out of a fucking cannon. She busts those bad boys out sometime during the middle of the film. And I got to tell you, very awkward watching that with my father when I was nine or 10. I became a man that day. I became a man that day. Very, very appreciated scene though. So just make sure if you're gathered around the Christmas tree opening presents and you throw on a film and, you know, Uncle Todd says, hey, let's throw on Trading Places. Tread lightly. Tread lightly because you're gonna get a Christmas surprise. You probably weren't expecting. Yeah, this is a fun movie. You know, this would be called Woke Today, of course. Screamed at the top of the mountains, Woke. We have Eddie Murphy who's out on the streets. We have the rich guys at Wall Street who are going to take a poor schmuck, in this case, Dan Aykroyd, and they're gonna trade spaces. They're gonna do a wife swap of sorts. Eddie Murphy's gonna get the power, the glory, the fame, the money, and Dan Aykroyd's gonna be on the streets. Panhandling, trying to make ends meet. And this is all just for the sick satisfaction of some rich tycoons up top. This is another very quotable movie. It's got some really insane moments, some of which very much don't land today. They didn't really land back then, such as the monkey costume scene. It's very weird. It's very weird moments, but thankfully it's short-lived and there's just a lot to like here. It takes place during Christmas. That's why it's a Christmas. It's on this list, because it's Christmas. And we're doing Christmas movies. Master Sergeant's back, as if he didn't give enough already. What do we have out of the stocking now, $10? My wife hates Christmas vacation because of his fantasy with the chick. I tell her to block that crap out and appreciate the rest of what happens to me. I mean, I get where your wave's coming from. The sad, cold, hard truth is, guys are dumb, guys are perverts. We don't really, there's not a lot going on, for most. Obviously, I'm generalizing all men. It's not all men, I think it's a lot though. It is a lot. We're very simple creatures. We want food, we want sex, we want violence. Some of us can get that in healthy ways. Others of us can't. In the case of Griswold, he's just fantasizing about a woman that worked at the lingerie department. It's harmless. I wouldn't think much into it. I think he's a very loyal, he's obviously a very loyal man. So yeah, guys are just dumb. That's the bottom line. We're simple. Elf, 2003. I'm not as big on Elf as a lot of people. I think the first half of this movie is freaking great though. I think it's basically perfect. Once the plot kind of starts kicking in more, that's when it starts to lose me. It loses a little bit of its pace, its speed. But Will Ferrell as a giant elf living in the real world amongst mortal men, it's just, it's beautiful. You really can't beat it. He wrestles the raccoon at one point. He's putting syrup all over everything. He's just so childish, so whimsical. There's two types of Will Ferrells that really worked for me. Actually, you know what? That's unfair to Will Ferrell. What am I talking about? Will Ferrell is actually very diverse with his acting. Not as diverse as Jim Carrey, but honestly, not much lower because he can do drama well. Well, Will, he can do drama well. He has a sad face. He's got a funny face too. You can take it either way. He's done some great dark humor. My favorite is still Saturday Night Live where he's sitting around the dinner table with Sarah Michelle Geller. And I can't remember the other actress from SNL for the life of me. She's great though. It's not Catherine. No, it's not. Like, keep going. But they're just awkwardly banging their utensils against their plates eating. And every once in a while, Sarah Michelle Geller's like, I hate you. And he's like, I drive a Prius. And he's just so angry and upset, but it still has that comical style to it. It's great. It's like a cable guy sort of character. What I was gonna say is he really plays up the silly, wide-eyed, childish humor very well. And he also does the great over the top, Hank the Tank, old school stuff just as well. So there's many sides to Will Ferrell that work. And this is one of them that they play out very well. John Favre directed, Iron Man director right here. Okay, let's keep going. Also it's got Zoey Deschanel by the way in Elf. And I love Zoey Deschanel very much. New Girl's a great show. If you haven't watched New Girl, very solid. Pretty much through and through from beginning to end. All right, the Santa Claus. This is a classic like no other. You got Tim Allen who would go on to reprise the character a few more times in Santa Claus 2, the Escape Claus in Santa Claus 3, Just Claus. And then you have the TV show that no one watched on Disney Plus. He's in that as well. And I know the third one's not called Just Claus. I just thought that was funny. Scott Kelvin, Scott Kelvin. It's a weird name. It's kind of a, I don't, that name just feels so artificial. Scott Kelvin. He kills Santa basically. Santa's up on his rooftop. He yells at him. Santa falls down and dies. And now Scott has to wear the suit. So over the course of the film he's going to turn into Santa. He's going to get fat. He's going to get jolly. He's going to have a hard time with work. He's going to have a hard time with this ex-wife. It's a mess. But it's a mess. It all works out very well in the end for everybody. If Bernard is great in this, we got a lot of elf helpers that are fun. It's just, you know, it's like it's just one of those timeless classics from the 90s. This is the period of time in movies where everything just felt magical. Could have been the age or it could have just been that Hollywood and cinema was really finding a great groove in the 80s and 90s. And they kind of still had it going into the early 2000s and somewhere around the 2010, 2012 era. You know, maybe that's not even fair. I think it was later than that. I'm trying to think when shit really started getting lame. 2000, I'm going to throw out an arbitrary number, 2019. That's it. 2019, that's when Hollywood died. That's when all the magic left the building. But we'll get it back sometimes. We still find them once in a while. Santa Claus is great. The sequels, meh, meh. I don't think I even watched the third one. The second one, he's got like a Hitler, Santa Claus robot. That's pretty fun. I'm going to tell you a plot point and please correct me if I'm wrong in a super chat if you want or don't, that's fine. Okay. So we establish in Santa Claus too. I'm going deep into the lore here in Santa Claus. We establish in Santa Claus too that Santa Jolly Old St. Nick needs a wife. He needs a Mrs. Claus. So he's got to find love in all the right places. My question is what the hell happened to the last Mrs. Claus? She died of old age before Santa croaked in the first movie. Or was she still at the North Pole waiting for her husband to return and they just kick her ass out? Like, like, ah, Tiffany. Yeah, Santa died. So we're going to need you to get out. Tiffany's like, well, what are you talking about? The elves have her bags or like dropping them off at the front door. Yeah, we're going to need you to leave Tiffany. And Tiff's like, I'm 75. I haven't had a real job in over 40 years. What am I supposed to do? Not really our problem, Tiff. And then it turns into like a sad scene from Shawshank Redemption where she goes to a boarding house and writes Tiffany was here on the beam and hangs her. Oh, sometimes I entertain myself too much. Yeah, that's what happened. That's what happened in my head cannon. All right, next on the list, you're a mean one. Ms. Duck Ranch. This is The Grinch by Illumination. I know, calm down. I know, I know it's Illumination. They're hacks, they suck. You know what? I'm a hack, I suck. I like a lot of Illumination crap. It's McDonald's fries for me. McDonald's fries for me, that's Illumination. I of course love the original, how The Grinch stole Christmas. I love the baritone voice. I love the style of it. This is just more of a movie. That's a short, that's an aside. We have a full film here and don't give me the Jim Carrey shit. It's one of the few Jim Carrey movies I just don't really like. Ron Howard, I don't know what his direction is in that film. Things are shot with a fisheye lens once in a while. I'm just not a fan of most of that. I appreciate the costume design on The Grinch. Appreciate Jim Carrey. I always appreciate Jim Carrey, but that one doesn't work. I like this one better. It's colorful, it's lively. Benedict Cumberbatch is The Grinch. Not really putting in any real effort into the voiceover work, but it's just watchable fast food. That's all I'm gonna say about it. That's a high praise. Look at it, I give it three and a half stars. I wouldn't say it's a, I like how I just randomly rate some of this stuff on Letterbox. That's great. You should follow me on Letterbox. What a terrific account I have. Let's get, unconvention and up for the holidays. Joe Dante's Gremlins 1984. What can be said that hasn't been said already? Killer soundtrack takes place at Christmas. We have Mogwai, terrorizing the damn town. It is all sorts of great. Oh, speaking of fast times, Phoebe's in this one. Looking good as always. I just, isn't Howie Mandel the voice? Am I losing my mind? Oh yeah, Corey Feldman. How do I always freaking, Corey's in this? I swear Howie Mandel did the voice of Gizmo. Maybe I'm wrong. He doesn't, I don't see him on the cast credits. What do you say? It's a bloody, disgusting, funny, schlocky, horror-filled film for the family. On Christmas. Put it on while you're opening presents because Gizmo's coming out of one of those boxes. I also like the sequel. I like Gremlins too. The new batch. Let's get it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it. Violent Night, 2022. David Harbour, as Santa Claus in a John Wick-esque no holds bars, killing, flick, rated R, candy canes going through eyes, bowling balls going through legs. My favorite scene in the movie is a home alone tribute where a kid sets up a series of booby traps. But unlike home alone, where they're comical prat balls, these are, these are like deadly, gross, disgusting traps. And it's awesome. This movie's great. You got John Lee Guizamo is the villain. David Harbour's kicking ass is Santa. An alcoholic on his last leg, Santa, who's kind of lost faith in people and in the holiday and the magic. But this little girl brings it all back for him. And he's gonna be stuck with this miserable family. Trying to help them survive, even though most of them don't deserve to. It's, it's a good time. I wasn't expecting much from it, honestly. And I was pleasantly surprised. We have a super chat from Big Kahuna for $2. Thank you, Big Kahuna. Deck the Halls, one of our more recent favorites. Okay, so Big Kahuna is throwing Deck the Halls in there. That is not on my list. So I appreciate the shout out, Big Kahuna. This is a movie that should honestly be on everybody's list. And I think a lot of people haven't seen it kind of flew under the radar when it came out. But it is a damn good family flick. It's not a family flick. This is a movie for your cynical, bitter adult to watch. I think this movie is great. My kids are finally old enough where they will appreciate it. Maybe not Connor, he's 11, but my daughter is 14. And she'll definitely appreciate the humor in this. It's very dry. It's very over the top at times. You got Kevin Spacey. You got John, wait, Kevin Spacey. Sorry, I'm looking at the list here. Oh, Judy Davis. Yeah, I'm like, John, what? What? Dennis Leary is the main protagonist from the TV show for many years that I never watched one episode of where he was a firefighter. Not really sure, but I can't remember the name. Rescue me. Rescue me, he was in that. I like him from Demolition Man and he was also a great standup comedian for many years. But Leary is in his element here. Fast talking, insulting, just being an all around awesome villain. Because the movie starts out on Christmas Eve. He steals some jewelry and he needs to find a place to hide out. Unfortunately for him, the only place around is the home owned by Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis. And this couple is on the brink of a divorce. And so he has to sit there and pretend to be their counselor while their family comes over for a Christmas dinner. It is so freaking funny. And it might be a little weird to watch Spacey because he's had some trouble. He's had some trouble, but just look away from that. Just shut that off because most of these people are weird as crap anyways. Most people are weird as crap anyways. So let's just take him as the character and nothing else. But really you go for Dennis Leary. He is just perfect in this. A great example of some of the silly wit. He's walking around and he sees a manger. A nativity. And he sees little baby Jesus and he picks it up and he thinks it's a candy. So he takes a bite and he looks at Jesus and he sets it down. I like that. I like the simpleness of that. The execution is what makes it work so well. Or they're running up the stairs and Judy Davis is like ranting and raving about her friends and how they had drama. And Dennis Leary turns to where he's like, what are we, girlfriends here? What do we have to fucking sleep over? I don't give a shit about this. Awesome. Lots of that throughout the movie. I highly recommend you watch the ref. You will not be disappointed. I promise you. Kyle Nelson for $5, a very Harold and Kumar Christmas is really funny as an adult. Kyle, I appreciate that. That is not on my list. It was almost on my list. It was right there, but I used a different comedy. I used a different R rated comedy in its place. If you can guess what it is before I get there, you get a golden star. I don't know who's giving you the golden star, but you might get one from someone. Okay, this movie is genuinely, I don't, why is that a new thing people are saying? Genuinely is the new literally. I really have to stop myself from saying it. Everything I say is genuine. Why would, well, I mean, unless you know I'm joking, but okay, Klaus 2019, a Netflix film. Well, I don't know if it was a Netflix film, but I remember watching on Netflix. They pushed it really heavily and I'm glad they did because this is a truly beautiful, awesome movie. And this is for the whole family. If you have not seen Klaus go in blind like I did, I was told from several family members, I believe Bubba was one of them who's moderating in here. I love Bubba. Then I need to watch Klaus. And after a couple of years of annoying family members saying, Adam, you gotta watch Klaus. I said, fine, I'll watch it, shut up. And who are you, stranger? And my whole family loved it. I was man-tearing a couple of times through it. There was tears shed. It's a lovely movie. I'm not gonna say anything about it other than going with, you know, going as blind as possible, try not to watch a trailer or read a synopsis like I did. And I think you'll be pretty impressed. And it is a slow burn. I will say that it does take a while to get into the movie and figure out the characters and what's going on. But once you do, you're just, you're gonna watch it. You're gonna watch it again. Let's get it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, ha, ha, ha, ha. We got a super chat before I bring up Harry Potter. Oh, there's Bubba for $1.99. Klaus is my favorite. He put Kraus, but I know what he meant. I know what he meant. Thank you, Bubba, I appreciate that. I was pretty confident he were the one that recommended it, one of several people that recommended it. Listen, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or the Sorcerer's Stone, depending on where you live, who you are, where you're from, what you want to say. This is a movie that I think upon release, I don't know if it was used as a Christmas movie. I think it kind of snuck its way in there on ABC Family one time. And they're like, yeah, we got another one here. Because let's be honest, Harry Potter isn't a Christmas movie. It's got a Christmas feature. It's got a Christmas section where there's a tree, the movie takes place over the entirety of a year. But that magic is there long enough for us to consider this a Christmas film, or at least a movie you watch on Christmas. Listen, I'm not one of these uppity assholes that likes to smell of his own farts and says, it's the be all end all right here. It's got to have this to be Christmas. It has to have this to be Christmas. No, it just needs to have elements that can kind of bring you into that mindset, right? Oh, there's snow, Christmas. Snowman, chalk it up to Christmas. A loving family doing very nice deeds for each other. Yeah, sure, Christmas throw it in. I'm cool, I'm lax, I'm chill. So yeah, Harry Potter is gonna go on here. Cause if I had it my way, Harry Potter would go on pretty much every list I ever come up with. Harry Potter, HP, I sometimes call it HP for short. It's on here. I don't need to talk about this movie. Everybody knows Harry Potter. If you don't like Harry Potter, you don't like it. That's fine. I'm a Potter guy. I got a castle in the background. I got several Harry Potter things. Look, I got a giant Hermione and Harry Lego thing. You can't see it because it's blocked on the camera. I just know what's there. You can see it when I go full screen sometime. Just know what's there. Kyle Nelson for $2, he's back in Reindeer Games and Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. Reindeer Games, I believe is Ben Affleck. Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, I believe. Actually, that's not Trevolta, is it? No, no, Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. Is that the Andrew Garfield film? Kiss, I can't type. Kiss, kiss, Bang, Bang. Is that the Andrew Garfield movie? Or is that the, or was I right the first time? Who's in this? Oh, Val Kilmer, I was way off. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. I haven't seen this movie obviously, Kyle Nelson. Thank you, I have seen Reindeer Games. That was a decent action film. What was I thinking? Oh, Tick, Tick, Boom was the Andrew Garfield movie. I have no idea where the Trevolta came from. That's troubling. The Muppet Christmas Carol, 1992's on my list. The Muppets have had a hard run lately. Not a lot of Muppet loved going on. Once in a while, Disney, who owns them, tries to come up with some way of bringing them back. They did that haunted mansion one that wasn't good. Years ago, it seems like a long time ago now, they had that failed TV show that maybe one person remembers where they tried to make an office style comedy where Muppets worked alongside real characters. I think this could have worked. It sounded hilarious. Unfortunately, the couple episodes I watched did not really land the jokes very well. But I think the premise was there for something really funny. It's a shame. But the Muppet Christmas Carol, this is a great movie. I love this film. We watch it quite a bit. It's short, it's sweet. You got the three ghosts. It's all done with Muppets. Gonzo's narrating. He's kind of taking you on the little tale. And of course, you see a lot of your favorite Muppets, cameoing or just what do you have the two critics? The two old guys are the ghosts at the beginning that there's a lot of fun stuff in this. Muppet Christmas Carol's awesome, I think. And there's a lot of versions of Christmas Carols. I have two of them on here. Jim Carrey's Christmas Carol is not on this list. But we do have Mickey's Christmas Carol as well. You got Scrooge McDuck. You got Mickey Mouse, of course. You got what Pete, I think, is the Grim Reaper. I like all the Disney characters showing up, but it also just does a good job of bringing you through this story. A simple story about, well, Scrooge. Again, we got Scrooge all over again about a man who needs to change his ways and he's gonna be visited by the past, the present, and the future of his story and how it's gonna play out if he doesn't become a better person. It's good stuff. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Skiddy dee dee dee dee dee. Speaking of Harry Potter, Chris Columbus, same director, did Home Alone. Chris Columbus was a freaking genius back in the day and then he did Percy Jackson, which kind of not great, not great in my opinion, but the new Disney plus show looks like shit. So maybe in comparison, Columbus is once again gonna look like a God amongst mortals. Home Alone, 1990, everybody knows this movie. If you don't know Home Alone, I don't know where you've been. Kevin McCallister, he's home by himself. Bad guys gonna try to break into the house. Kevin's gonna come up with a bunch of mousetrap style contraptions. They're gonna beat the shit out of these guys. It's freaking hilarious. Daniel Stern, Joe Pesci, breaking out of his serious mobster style of roles like Casino and my cousin Vinny, and he's going to play it straight comedy and knock it out of the park. Pesci is freaking hilarious in this. I mean, so is Daniel Stern, but Daniel Stern was always kind of that guy, Bushwhacked and Celtic Pride. If I could pull that out of my ass, anybody remember Celtic Pride? He was also in the City Slickers movies. I'm surprised they never completed the City Slickers trilogy, by the way. Feels like something that should have been done about three decades back, and I feel like they're gonna do it at some point. It's gonna be a Disney plus movie, just depressing. And then Home Alone 2, Lost in New York. Listen, I stand by this. I've always said this, Home Alone 2 is better. Yes, it's essentially the same movie, but it so effortlessly steals its own jokes and repackages them that you just can't help but appreciate how freaking brilliant it is. They are unapologetically taking all the stuff that works and just magnifying it. It's honestly genius. Now, most comedies and sequels do this. They will reuse jokes or they will kind of follow the same formula as the first film, but Home Alone 2 just straight up says, we're gonna do the same exact playbook, put it in a different area, but it's all gonna play out exactly the same again. The pizza guy is gonna show up, he's gonna play a black and white movie, but then we will even add to that and have the bell hop come in and we'll have this talkboy fucking thing play. And so we'll think his uncle's in the shower. They'll have the final fight with the bad guys again, but it's way more magnified. I still remember seeing this in theaters. I've said this before, but it's one of my greatest moments with my father, R.I.P. I went with my dad, my mom, and my brother, sister wasn't born yet. What year is this, 1992? Yeah, she's not, she's not born yet. And we saw this movie, A Packed Theater. The moment, the moment that Marvin and Harry are down below insulting threats up at Kevin and Kevin takes that brick, it just hurls it and the sound effect of and it hits Marvin the fucking face and Harry's like, is that the best you got, kid? And he just does it again. My dad is laughing louder than anything possibly imaginable. Normally I'd be embarrassed, but I was, I don't know, something about watching other people have joy, it's infectious, it rubs off on you. And so I wasn't embarrassed. I was actually laughing and even more excited for him for loving this movie. You know, he's not young watching this, he's like me now. And so yeah, it's a great memory. I love Home Alone 2 from beginning to end. I've seen this movie probably more than any other movie, honestly, because I don't even watch this just at Christmas. This is a movie that just randomly comes on year round. Da, da, da, da, da. Ski, dee, dee, ba, ba, bum, bum, bum, bum. Oh, I got super chats. Let's get to the super chats. Tony Moro for $1.99. Thank you, Tony says, my faves, Santa Claus, Krampus. Oh my God. What's that one? I-A-W-L? And Die Hard, what is the abbreviation I-A-W-L? Why am I not knowing that? Oh, it's a wonderful life. Thank you. He didn't tell me, but I looked it up and then figured it out. It's a wonderful life. I've never seen someone do that before. The acronym for it. Thank you, Tony Moro. Krampus, that's an interesting pick. My son, Connor, just watched Krampus the other day by himself. He thinks he's so cool when he can watch anything rated R. I'd seen Krampus before. My wife and I, we didn't really like it. Sorry, Tony. Respect, but we didn't really care for Krampus. First half is really, is pretty solid. And then it just kind of slips away. Connor didn't really feel it either. He watched it alone. He thought he was pretty cool. But yeah, he found himself slipping away as the movie progressed. I will say, he does keep bringing it up. So maybe part of him does like the movie. I don't know. I don't know, Tony. Thank you though. Mickey, my friend, Mickey sees back for a $5 super chat. Top five, he's gonna give us Grinch 2000. Wait, Grinch 2000. Is that the Jim Carrey one? Grinch 2000. That's gotta be Jim Carrey, right? Yeah, how the Grinch stole Christmas. Okay, Christmas vacation, beautiful. Jingle all the way, all right. Home Alone 2, I like what you're throwing down. The Santa Claus 2. He throws the sequel in the mix. Probably for Nazi Santa. I get it. He is funny. They've got the laughs. They got the heart. Love them. Mickey's in. Master Sergeant for a beautiful $10 super chat. Cheers to dad for Home Alone 2. Let's raise one for the dad. Let's raise one for dad. I have outlived him officially. He was 39. I'm now 41. That's depressing. But it happens, folks. It happens. It's been a long time. High school was a long time ago. Thank you, Master Sergeant. I appreciate that. Let's bring the temperature back up in the room before I break down and cry like a miserable sad sack. Okay, Batman Returns 1992, Tim Burton. This is Tim Burton firing on all cylinders. You know what, Batman Returns is Christmas movie. Takes place mostly in the winter. Takes place around Christmas time. There's big presents. There's bad guys jumping out of presents. I don't know how much more present I can be because I love this film. You got Danny DeVito playing the penguin, biting a guy's nose off as Oswald Cubblepot. You have Michelle. I'm the hottest cat woman, Pfeiffer. Whipping around, flipping around, saying meow in the coolest way possible. She's gonna team up with the penguin. Is this the first, is this the first villain team up film in superhero history on the big screen? Obviously we had the very campy old Adam West Batman where he fights all the villains, the rogues gallery. But I'm having a hard time thinking if there's any other ones prior to this, Richard prior to this. Well, speaking of Richard Pryor, maybe Batman, well, Superman. Richard Pryor was in Superman III, terrible film. I, yeah, I'm not gonna count Zod and his partner as twin zine. I think Batman Returns is the one that kind of set the table, let's say that. Batman Returns is the one that set the stage going forward for bad decisions of having double bad guys or triple villains in the films. It doesn't work always. It typically is a little messy, but it works very well here. Plus you have, what's his nuts? Let me look his name up. Christopher Walken as Maximilian, pushing Selena Kyle out the window. Christopher Walken's the greatest villain in the movie, like the biggest threat in the movie. He doesn't have a superpower. He doesn't have a gimmick. He's just rich. He's just an asshole. This is a cool feel to it. I like the look of this movie. It's cold, it's haunting. It really fits Batman for me. And then when Schumacher took over for three and four, I was so let down by that neon vomit. The route that Schumacher went just did not work at all for me. But that's the cool part about Batman is he really can work in a lot of different ways for a lot of different people. We've seen so many iterations now, even on the big screen, from the Batman to the Dark Knight, to the Tim Burton films, and they all have a totally different feel. You can even throw Joker in there, and that's different. I dig him, man. I dig almost all of them. And this one is one of my favorites. If not my favorite still, Batman Returns. Keaton. Keaton just was that. He was the dude. Michael Keaton was the dude. All right, let's keep going. Oh, we got two more super chats. Let's bring them in. Perm for $20 shot out of a fucking cannon. Merry Christmas, brother. My little girls ask for the Cumberbatch Grinch all year round, and I don't get sick of it. There you go. All right, okay, all right. We got a Grinch stand over here. The Home of Loans should be top two. Yeah, I agree about the second one. And Tim Curry is a national treasure. Tim Curry is so good. My brother and I, so many things my brother and I would quote. We would always go, you know, whatever you quote, something you take it a little bit more over the top. I actually put out a video months back. I don't know what it was. I think it was a live stream. Maybe it was a podcast. Some of my favorite lines to quote from films. Some are popular. A lot of them I think are pretty obscure, abstract. But one of them that my brother and I used to do all the time is from Tim Curry in Home Alone 2. And it's when he's talking to Kevin, he says, your limo's arrived. And he goes with a complimentary cheese pizza. I don't know. I think it's hilarious just how he says it. With the cheese pizza. Oh, good stuff. That movie's so quotable though. What kind of idiots do you have working here? The finest in New York. Oh man, thank you, Perm. I appreciate that. Troy McClure for $5. Thank you, Troy. Sorry to make a joke of it. But saying he was 39, I'm 41 while tipping a just do it cop gives me some ominous Christmas horror vibes. Sorry. Sorry, you couldn't be around, father. And then I take a drink out of this freaking giant jug. Oh man, with the Nike Swish insignia. That's good stuff. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Troy. I had some fun from that. For Christmases, a family fave, painful but fun from Big Kahuna. Big Kahuna, two films recommended that are not on my list, but should be probably. For Christmases, my mom has been begging me to watch it for for Christmases now. She thinks the movie's hilarious. My mom's taste in film. I mean, I can't even say it's bad because my mom doesn't watch a lot of movies. She'll claim she does, but she doesn't really watch movies. She has a hard time sitting still. She's a very, I mean, she's a very successful woman. She just doesn't have time for that crap. She doesn't have time for horse play. So sitting around and watching a two hour movie, she's got shit to do. So when she recommends a movie, it's kind of like, well, I mean, how many movies have you seen, mom? You saw like maybe one movie in its entirety in the last two years. I don't know if I can stand by that, you know? But yeah, I've heard good things about for Christmases. Thank you, Bikuhuna. $5, making my friend. I'll defend Home Alone 2 as superior until I die. The physical torture of Harry makes me wet myself like a little girl, even after 25 years. We were just watching Home Alone 2, and we, I should say, we were playing Monopoly. The wife and the two children and myself, we can somehow manage to play Monopoly without killing each other, which is a win-win. And in the background, we had some Christmas movies going. Home Alone 2 came on, and it's one of my favorite scenes out of a thousand favorite scenes in that movie. And it's when Harry and Marv are climbing the rope, and they're so casually discussing what's going on with this rope. Marv goes, Marv goes, oh no, is it Harry? I can't remember which one it was. He starts sniffing, he goes, what's that smell? And Marv goes, it's kerosene. Rope soaked in it. And then Harry kind of like, or I'm sorry, Marv kind of thinks it over. Why would anyone want to soak a rope in kerosene? And then you just see Kevin light the match. Merry Christmas, it's so good. It's so good, I love that movie. Another Christmas in the trenches is my favorite line from it that he chucks a cedar brick through the window. Why would anyone want to soak a rope in kerosene match light? Okay, bad Santa. This is the one that took the place of Harold and Kumar. I'm gonna be frank with you. You can be Stephen for the scenario. I've only seen bad Santa once. I remember laughing quite a bit, but then never mustering up the time to watch it again because it is a very raunchy, r-rated Christmas affair that only I can watch and I have a family. And I don't find myself ever thinking like, ooh, I have a hankering for bad Santa when I have spare moments to myself. That said, bad Santa is really funny. I know they made a sequel. I did not see the sequel. I only needed this one. You got Bernie Mac in here. You have my girl from Gilmore Girls. One of the Gilmore Girls is in this, not Rory, but Lorelei, Lorelei Gilmore. I'm a, you know, my wife has watched Gilmore Girls a thousand times through. I'm not even like, I don't even think I'm being over the top. I'm pretty sure she's watched him a thousand times. That's ridiculous. So I've seen Gilmore Girls a lot. And you know what? I appreciate it. I like the Gilmore Girls. I think they're good shit. Billy Bob Thornton, of course, is the lead character here. Just a complete loser, low life character who's gonna take up a mall gig as a Santa Claus. He's gonna insult children. He's gonna bang Lorelei in the dressing room. It's an all around win. This is a fun film. This isn't one for the kids to watch though. So put on the ear muffs. Master Sergeant again for $10. Are you out of your mind? Your mom says four Christmases and I haven't given it less than a couple of hours. Do it, do it, do it. It's fun. I'm getting shouted at by Master Sergeant and Master Sergeant might be, he might be top, I mean, he's top three for sure. Supporter of 2023 on the channel. Master Sergeant's basically kept me afloat this year with his awesome donations and I just, I don't know what to say anymore. I have to watch it obviously if the Sergeant says that I have to do it. So yeah, four Christmases, I'll make time for it. I put your opinion over my own mother's at this point when it comes to movies, but I will watch it and I will call my mom and say, hey mom, I did it for you. I watched four Christmases, you were right. Thank you for the recommendation. Thank you for the recommendation. Here's a weird one for you, Rise of the Guardians. Fun story about Rise of the Guardians. I don't know if you remember this when it came out but it came out the same time or around the same time as Guardians of the Galaxy and some movie theaters were accidentally playing Rise of the Guardians instead of Guardians of the Galaxy. Which is, I just think that's kind of funny. I remember reading articles about that. I eventually watched this movie with my children. They were younger at the time and we all really kind of enjoyed this film. It bombed really badly. I don't remember if this is, this isn't DreamWorks, is it? I can't remember the studio that made this but I remember this movie kind of bankrupting the studio. DreamWorks is still around so it must not be them. It was an animation studio and this one really freaking hurt their wallet because nobody saw this film. It seemed like an easy win. You have a kind of a badass rough-and-tumble Santa Claus. You've got the Tooth Fairy in the mix. You've got Hugh Jackman playing an Australian Easter Bunny. It seems to make sense. You have the evil Sandman going around. You know what? Now I know I didn't work. The trailers were creepy and this is another Benedict Cumber Patch, another Benedict Cumber Snatch vehicle. He plays the villain here. So you put in his brassy, baritone voice with this dark, ominous weapon that he has, this power that he has to make everything go all black and gross and evil. That's gonna scare a lot of little ones from the theater. So you really have to tread lightly when you make a Christmas movie that's catered to kids but clearly is going to be scary and give them nightmares and parents aren't gonna go. I see this stupid ass comment often on my channel. I should do a rant on it just by itself but people will go and they'll say, for instance, I talked about seeing Wish. I went by myself, which was just depressing that my kids wouldn't even go with me to the Disney Wish movie. They said this movie wasn't for you. That's the comment. Hey, did you think that maybe you weren't the audience for Wish? Now you can make that argument for certain movies for sure but when it comes to Disney family films or any family films, you have to understand that kids can't drive themselves to the movies. Young kids can't go see a movie by themselves. They require a chaperone. They require a parent to go sit there and watch for an hour and a half or two hours. So the movie has to kind of be catered to the parent too for them to even waste their fucking life going to it and they're not going to if it looks terrible or if they know it's gonna give their kid nightmares. So the whole thing with family movies saying like this wasn't for you. Well, it kind of is because I'm the one paying for it. So if it's not for me, little Timmy's not gonna go see it. Rise of the Guardians was fun though. Not amazing by any means but if you're looking for an animated flick to throw on with the kids, if they're a little older, maybe eight, eight and up, they should be fine. It's not too scary. Couple parts maybe, but overall it's a fun ride with some good action and some good heart. And Jack Frost is the lead character. There's not a lot of movies about Jack Frost. We got one more Super Chat. Is this Master Sergeant again? My God, man, thank you. $5 Super Chat from Master Sergeant. Yes, dude, watch it and give your fantastic mom the credit. All moms deserve the credit respect. I do have an awesome mom too. So I will do that. Frozen is on the list. How can we have a Christmas list without Frozen? I feel like this movie goes criminally underrepresented at Christmas time. Come on. Just because they don't explicitly say, oh, it's the holidays, it's Christmas, we have a freaking princess with ice powers, making ice castles, building a snowman. It's a Christmas movie. It's a Christmas movie. And I unapologetically like this film. It's got good music. It's got whimsy. It's got fun characters. Olaf can burn and die in a fire for all I care. He's much better in the sequel. But I'll allow it. Okay, Josh Gad, you're fine. You're okay here. But you got Kristen Bell as Anna. Yeah, I'm in. I'm all in. This is a fine movie. Is it amazing? No, but it's got the stuff that works for me. And this is a playbook Disney's gonna run with for the next several films, like Encanto, Moana and this horrible Wish movie. And they run it into the ground. But this is the one that I think really took the Tangled playbook. Went a little bit further with it, even though Tangled's the better movie. This is the more popular one. It has the bigger songs. It's got the bigger spectacle. It's a Christmas movie. We watch it at Christmas time. We're almost to the end, I think. And this is a banger. This is gonna be one. This is a deep cut for some people. The Long Kiss Good Night. This is a Gina Davis vehicle. This is a Rennie Harlan film. You may know Rennie Harlan from Die Hard 2, which also takes place at Christmas. Not on my list, believe it or not. I don't have Die Hard 2 on here. Die Hard 2 is one of the weaker installments for me. And I still love it, but it's one of the weaker ones for me. That's the home alone thing again, but taken to a, not quite the degree I want it. Kind of Washington's repeat in the worst ways. It did things worse than the first one. If you're gonna copy the playbook, if you're gonna do the same thing again, you have to actually do better the second time. This, you know, we got a movie here, Samantha Kane, stay at home wife, has it all, the picket fence, the beautiful family, the cooking, the cleaning, the secret identity as an agent named Charlie, who's entangled in some crazy game of Russian roulette with a bunch of secret spies who are out for blood trying to kill her, but she's undercover and doesn't even realize she's undercover because she has amnesia. It's one of those old chestnuts. This movie features Gina Davis snapping the neck of a deer, which is epic. It's got a scene of Samuel L. Jackson jumping out of a fucking window while Gina shoots the ice so they can break through it. I'm not sure if that would work, but she loosened it up, I guess, enough so that the impact wasn't so hard. Hello? What is going on? Hello? Hello? Okay, wow. My wife just comes in the other room, knocks on the door, then leaves. She's on the phone just to completely screw with me. What an amazing, amazing time to be alive. Oh, throws me off every time. Okay, I don't know. If you haven't seen Law and Kiss Good Night, you'll see it. It's got practical, awesome action effects. It's got massive explosions. It's got Gina Davis wielding an oozy. I got nothing but good things to say about it. Plus, she's a smoke show in it. Love the blonde hair. Love the red-headed look she has at the beginning. And Samuel L. Jackson's always awesome. He's always a good time. Ha, ha, ha, ha, jingle all the way. It's on the list. I have it at two and a half out of five stars. Out of all the movies on my list, I think that this is gen- Here's the Genuine League. Goddamn, I got stuff saying that. Out of all the movies on this list, Jingle All the Way is probably a bad movie. I mean, it is a bad movie, but it's the kind of bad movie I can get behind. Arnold Schwarzenegger has to get a turbo man for his son before Christmas, but they're sold out everywhere. This is gonna take him into the trenches of Black Friday where he's gonna have to fight moms in the store for the last remaining doll. He's gonna have to go up against an arch-rival, Sinbad plays who's a post office worker. At one point, he blows up a bunch of cops. They get a present and the whole floor blows up and then they're fine again. This is such a bizarre movie that goes from somewhat plausible and real to absolute Wily Coyote Looney Tunes nonsense. Just shenanigans up the wall. And in the final act, Arnold's strapped to a jet pack and he's flying around the city in what I imagine is just the ugliest looking green screen imaginable, but yet I still think this movie's fun in a schlocky way and I dig it. It moves quick and it's got plenty of memorable moments. And I just like Arnold is a comedian. I think he's actually funny. I've heard him do interviews. He's very charming. He's very quick-witted. I don't think he got enough credit even though he was in Twins and Junior, which no one saw. He tried doing the comedy route, but I think he could have gone even further with it. I wouldn't be surprised and I would love to see this if later years Arnold really does get more into comedy and films. If he can find that one movie that makes him branch out, you know, Tommy Lee Jones tried it for a while with Man of the House and a couple of other films. We've had some other kind of mobster gangster type actors who've done this as well. What's his name? Well, Jack Nicholson's done this, of course. What is his name though? Robert De Niro. Robert De Niro did this for well with Meet the Fockers and he had kind of a string of comedy roles. I'd love Arnold to get into that. I think he could knock it out of the park. And then last one, of course, the definitive Christmas film, we all expected it. Die Hard. The Ultimate Christmas Movie. John McClain saving a bunch of people from Nakatomi Plaza as terrorists take over the building that aren't actually terrorists. They're just glorified bank robbers. John McClain, listen, he's an everyman. He's a cop. He works the streets. And he's gonna be thrust into an unwinnable situation that he manages to shoot his way out of. Hans Gruber, Alan Rickman, one of the greatest movie villains full stop. His performance here is unlike anything ever. And probably unlike anything we'll ever see again. I can't even explain it. There's a reason why FoxxX wanted Alan Rickman fired every step of the way. This whole movie is a fucking miracle that it got made. Both of these actors, one of them completely untested Alan Rickman is playing this very different type of villain. And then you have Bruce Willis who was in a recent bomb of a movie or a TV and he was in a TV show. So he just really had nothing in the action realm. And yet this all came together so good from John McTiernan. I just, I mean, I've seen this movie freaking million times. Ho, ho, ho. Now I've got a machine gun. You have the Twinkie Cop, Carl Winslow from Family Matters, driving up talking to John on the phone while he's picking glass out of his feet. He's jumping off the side of a skyscraper. You have the FBI agents showing up for total dipshits. This whole movie is perfect. The comedy hits, the action hits, the effects still hold up. The music is iconic, it's crap, the script is tight. I love this film. There's nothing else to say. There's nothing else to say. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. That's what I would say. Okay, Master Sergeant with the final super chat. Hit big kahuna super chat a couple back. Oh, did I miss one? Let me see. Thank you, Master Sergeant. Big kahuna for $2, do it. The four Christmases cost alone is worth it. Is that the one that I missed? I think it is. I think that's the one I missed. Big kahuna really puts an emphasis on four Christmases. I'll tell you what, you guys. I'm gonna try, listen, I'm nothing but a man of not my word. I will try to watch four Christmases and either put out a YouTube short review on it or do a small review on it. Now do not, listen, I often say things that I don't end up doing, but I will make a mental note of it and you can ask me in a couple of streams from now, like, hey, Adam, it's December 15th where the hell is the four Christmases short? Where's your thoughts on it? And I'll say, well, you're right. Let me make another promise that I'll break. But no, I will tentatively have this in my list of things to do. Thank you guys for the super chats. We got one more for Mickey C for $2. No Way Home is a recent movie I love at Christmas. That's right, Mickey C, there is, there is Christmas elements in No Way Home. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, that's fair. That's fair, that's a good pick. That's a great pick, it's a good movie. Okay, I think I touched upon everything I wanted to. We're sitting at an hour and 10 minutes. My Invisalign have been out for more than they should be. So I am gonna stream on Twitch. I'm gonna play some Mario Maker 2 for a little while. We'll chat some more there. I'm gonna have the Invisalign in, so we'll see how well that goes. But mostly it's gonna be me just killing Mario over and over in a sad, comical series of follies as I try to complete a board that someone that's seven can do in a matter of seconds. But that's the fun of it, that's the fun of it. So make sure to join me over there on Twitch if you want, twitch.tv slash Adam does movies. I understand it's not movies, it's gaming, but it's Twitch, so we're doing a little bit of everything over there, trying to grow that up. Again, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you have a free Twitch Prime account, Twitch Gaming. So don't let it go to waste. Subscribe to Adam Does Movies on Twitch. If you're not using it, use it.

And he's like, hey, where do you wanna eat? The sky is the limit for $5. We have McDonald's, that's about it. We have McDonald's. We have one more Super Chat it looks like. Last second from the top rung, Jan Rose for $5. Hey Adam, I just got it. What's new and how are you and the family? Jan, how's it going? Thank you for the Super Chat. We are doing pretty well. Connor, if you didn't know, and Lindsay both had, actually I don't know if Connor technically did. Lindsay had influenza. That was disgusting, that was awful. She was having a hard time breathing. Just a complete, Lindsay listen, she's my age, but she's a complete shit show. This whole year has been a disaster. I don't know if it's the state. I don't know if it's just the fact that she's got Crohn's disease and it's been flaring up. No one can seem to give us any answers. We've been in and out of the hospital a billion times. It's insane and stupid. And we had to go back to Minnesota at one point to go to the Mayo Clinic because they're like one of the best. Yeah, we still didn't get everything we needed to for answers, but I'm hoping, I'm hopeful that the worst is behind us. She's done with influenza. She's back to, I'd say full health. And hopefully everything stays good. I mean, obviously she's well enough to knock on the door, have nothing to say and just completely break my flow. So yeah. Oh, is this her again? Hello? Can you stop knocking on the door and interrupting me? Or I'll inject you with influenza again. I'm talking to Jan Rose. I'm talking to Jan Rose and Crickets. Just Crickets gone again. All right, this is fun. Anyway, yeah, I wish her the best. I wish her nothing but a clean bill of health. She interrupts me. Connor, he was pretty sick too. He's better. I put out a video, a short and the Instagram video of me playing catch with him. He's running around. He was coughing quite a bit afterwards, but that's not really my problem. Okay. I will sit around for a couple more minutes and then we will switch on to Twitch. So if anybody has any final thoughts, any movie picks for Christmas, we're right around the River Bend, Pocahontas. It's November 28th. So by the next livestream, 29th, yeah, well, how many, there's 30 days I believe this month. So yeah, it's gonna be the first on Friday. That'll be the next livestream. I am going to see Godzilla tomorrow. There's a special showing. I will see that. Hopefully I can get the review out. I'm not sure I'll get it out tomorrow night late, but I will definitely get it out Thursday. So I have a review of the new Godzilla movie coming out. That honestly came out of nowhere for me. I wasn't really, I had no idea this was even in production and I saw the trailer a couple of weeks ago and it looked really good. So I'm pretty excited for this one. Pretty excited, pretty amped up. Looks like Jan's back again for $2. Thank you, Jan. Favorite Christmas movie is Bad Santa. Okay, so Jan's there, she gets it. She appreciates the raunchy humor. I like it, I like where your head's at. I have to rewatch that. I wonder if the sequel's any good. If you join me on Twitch, you can message me and tell me if the second one's any good. Okay, I'm gonna leave it there. Thank you guys for watching or listening. If you're on the podcast, make sure to like the video. I think it helps these live streams out. Make sure to subscribe if you somehow stumbled upon this and you made it all the way to the end. You didn't find me too unbearable. I'd love to have more people stick around. I think we just hit, I think we just hit a little tiny milestone. Did we get to 73, we are past 73,000 subscribers now, folks. Earlier today we were at 72,900 and change. And now we are at 73,004. We are slowly climbing up the subscription ladder. We got to 73,000 though. Maybe just maybe we can get to 75,000 by the end of the year. That would be fun. That would be cool. 80,000 is still kind of where I wanted to get to. I mean, I was trying to tell myself 100, but if we could get to 80, that would be awesome. But 75 is cool too. Okay, thank you guys. Oh God, we have one more shot out of a cannon. Matt Sklera right as I was about to end the stream for 9.99, better off dead. Is Matt's pick for Christmas better off dead? What is this? Oh, John Cusack, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? So this was John Cusack in 90, is this 95? No, it was 85. I was gonna say, what year did gross point blank come out? Come on, come on, computer. Gross point blank. 97, okay. So it was a little, I wanted to say Cusack had this really good run of movies, but I guess there's like 10 years in between these. Better off dead I've seen. It's been a long time, Matt. I really can't speak to it because I was on a Cusack kick for a long time in the 90s where I was watching movies like gross point blank, better off dead. Serendipity almost made the Christmas list here because it is a Christmas movie. Kate Beckinsales in the mix. I almost put it on here, but it just didn't make the cut but I really liked Serendipity. It's a nice, I'm not a big romcom guy, but I dug that one. I thought that was a really good flick. But better off dead, or better off dead. That was a sitcom. Better off dead. Thank you for the recommendation, Matt. I appreciate that. I do need to get back into some of those Cusack classics. It's been a hot minute, but we have to watch Four Christmases first. Okay, guys, I'm gonna wrap it up. Thanks again for watching. Hopefully I see you real soon. Take care.
