In this movie, Santa Claus (you know, the guy from the end of that one SpongeBob episode) kicks ass with a giant sledgehammer, just as you would expect from a Christmas classic.
PERCIVAL CONSTANTINE (author, podcaster behind SUPERHERO CINEPHILES and JAPAN ON FILM) falls down the chimney to join the boys in an awkward hostage situation as they discuss 2022's action-comedy VIOLENT NIGHT. It's David Harbour as Santa beating the shit out of some goons as a kid does some hyperviolent "realistic" Home Alone traps. And it...really works?
Join them as they answer such questions as: How cool is the idea of Norseman Santa? What actor is the character Morgan very obviously channeling? What's the easiest pitch for a sequel to this movie? Are there multiple women in Hollywood? and Could this become an annual watch for us? among many others...
Thank you for coming on, Percival! Be sure to check out his WEBSITE for more information on SUPERHERO CINEPHILES and JAPAN ON FILM, and check out his upcoming comic series PARAGONS OF EARTH!
