“We don’t celebrate Christmas around here. We’re Muslims.”
On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES (or 00s if you’re into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson is working off his Christmas meal with a second special episode, because I’m a bad Santa and I play by my own rules. I took a lesson from the baddest Santa around, Billy Bob Thornton in Terry Zwigoff’s 2003 coal black comedy Bad Santa!
His special guest this week is Ian Buckley! A Good Podcaster with The Collector’s Commentary, Illumination Above All, We Are Starfleet, and Movieversaries!
Together they cut through the 180+ f-bombs to find a genuine sweetness in the very dark Christmas tale that isn’t entirely unlike the journey Scrooge once took. Thornton delivers a shockingly frank portrayal of alcoholism and depression, the likes of Lauren Graham and Brett Kelly provide warmth and hope but not without their own authentic issues, and ensuring every scene is hilarious are supporting acts like the late John Ritter and Bernie Mac… or are they depending on which of the three cuts there are of this movie!
