Summary

It's a HDTGM all-time classic! Howard Kremer (Who Charted?) joins Paul, June, and Jason to break down the 2000 holiday crime-thriller Reindeer Games. They sound off on Ben Affleck’s love of pecan pie, the terrible open-mouth kissing, and the bonkers Ashton Kutcher cameo. Plus, a revelation about the character names blows everyone's minds and we learn about Paul’s intimate relationship history with his mom. (Ep. #52 Originally Released 12/25/2012)
