Summary

“There’s a decent setup for a [Michael] Haneke movie here…” - Chris

On this week’s episode, the holiday fun continues with a wild conversation all about Krampus! Was the K-man one of the OG internet creepy pastas? Couldn’t this film have a bit more teeth and not have been so beholden to nailing a PG-13? How many beloved Christmas movies is this movie being at once? Well done with the casting here, this flick is stacked with fantastic comedic actors which is a bonus. But, what’s the deal with the gingerbread men having more screen time than Krampus? And what’s with that Twilight Zone ending? PLUS: Cookie Puss holiday desserts for all!

Krampus stars Adam Scott, Toni Colette, Allison Tolman, David Koechner, Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, Krista Stadler, and Conchata Ferrell as Aunt Dorothy; directed by Michael Dougherty.
