We sat down and recorded 12 episodes all about Christmas. Our favorite Christmas movies, our favorite Santa, our worst Santa, the soundtracks we love. A little insight into who we are and what we actually care about this time of year.

Coming off the funniest movies episode, this one had no chance of staying calm. We thought we were picking the most romantic Santa. What we actually did was expose how wildly different our definitions of romance are. This episode builds straight off yesterday’s chaos and then somehow escalates it. Dictionaries get involved. Feelings get questioned. Nobody backs down.

Movies in This Episode

•  Noelle (The absolute most romantic EVER!)
•  Christmas in Handcuffs
•  The Holiday
•  It’s a Wonderful Life

Noelle
This one turns into a fight fast. Not about the movie. About what romance even is. Ryan’s angle is simple. Romance is showing up when someone’s lost and helping them get back on their feet. That’s it. Female Santa throws gasoline on the whole thing. People talk over each other. Definitions get pulled. Oxford gets name dropped. Nobody budges. Ryan definitely doesn’t.

Christmas in Handcuffs
Everyone hears the setup and immediately says no. Then it keeps playing. It’s uncomfortable. It’s dumb in spots. It shouldn’t be romantic at all. And somehow it works just enough that nobody shuts it off. It’s not butterflies. It’s more “why am I still watching this” energy. Which ends up being the compliment.

The Holiday
This is where everyone relaxes for a second. This is what most people thought we were doing when we said romantic. Cozy houses. Broken people. Fresh starts. Jude Law doing Jude Law things. Nobody argues this one. It just makes sense.

It’s a Wonderful Life
John goes classic. Again. It’s not his best take, but we let him have the mic anyway. George Bailey finally saying what he feels without knowing how to say it right. It’s awkward and sincere and actually works. Annoying, but solid. John gets one point and then we move on.
