It’s a Talk Movie To Me Christmas

Ho Ho Ho cinephiles! It’s the 4th annual Talk Movie To Me Christmas special and we are proving that no matter what 2020 throws at us it’s still a wonderful life! This week we got a fever ( a good one) for some Holiday cheer, and we are jingle jollying our way through three holiday films! Firstly, we discuss a black and white classic starring Jimmy Stewart, that made us laugh , cry, and question quantum physics? Secondly, we stick it to the man …by paying for an apple tv subscription and watching A Charlie Brown Christmas and then obsessing over the modest and understated Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special. And finally, it wasn’t the happiest of seasons while discussing the new holiday film starring Kristen Stewart and Aubrey Plaza. So grab some rum and eggnog, because you need to be as inebriated as we are at the end of this episode. It’s beginning to look a lot like a Talk Move To Me Christmas!
