Okay, so before we get into anything on the episode, like I'm actually quite, so I, we just watched the Santa Claus 3, and I was looking at the Wikipedia page, you know, I was curious about the details of its making, you know, the burden of dreams like saga behind its traveling from Walt Disney's imagination to the screen.

So I look on Wikipedia and it says box office, 110 million worldwide.

Budget, $12 million, and I'm sorry, that can't be possible. So I'm looking at that and I think okay Wikipedia

Somebody just forgot a zero like it cost 120 million probably and they forgot to put the zero

Then I go on IMDb also says $12 million and like I'm sorry I

realize this movie looks kind of cheap but a Disney holiday movie that was

theatrically released in the year 2006.

Like Tim Allen doesn't work for less than $12 million

if he's doing the Santa Claus 3.

And then falling in a web of confusion and despair

because when I search Santa Claus 3 budget budget the first thing I find is a

Reddit thread called how was the budget for Santa Claus 3 only 12 million dollars and

somebody says according to Wikipedia it was filmed entirely on a sound stage in studio backlot, which severely cuts costs as opposed to filming on location sets were reused.

Oh, so they didn't literally go to the North Pole, you're saying. Yeah I guess I guess and I get explain I get that

that saves money but I want a full accounting it can't have cost 12 million

let's let's contact our friend Eric Lloyd and find out It can't have cost 12 million. That's wrong.

Let's contact our friend Eric Lloyd and find out.

I bet he knows.

Eric Lloyd, the boy from these movies,

who's a man...

And Dunstan checks in.

Yeah. If Eric Lloyd is around, if Tim Allen is around, if Wendy Creuson is listening, anybody involved in this movie. Judge Reinhold, somebody tell me, I want an accounting.
