The North Hole

Episode 12: Christmas Prince: A Royal Wedding

Well, friends, the North Hole has come full circle with our last episode of the season, as we dissect the sequel to Netflix’s modern classic, Christmas Prince. Actress, comedian, and science educator, Sophie Shrand (@sciencewithsophie), joins us in roasting King Richard and Amber’s long-awaited and deeply underwhelming wedding in Christmas Prince: A Royal Wedding or, as we like to call it, 2 Christmas 2 Prince: Aldovia Drift.

Episode 11: I'll Be Home for Christmas

Oh Johnathan Taylor Thomas. Your legs are so short, but your list of failures is so long. The North Hole welcomes Dylan Fowler, pop culture expert and brilliant human, to discuss I’ll Be Home for Christmas, JTT’s 1998 attempt to break out of the shadow of Home Improvement. I’ll tell you what, IT DIDN’T WORK! This lil’ guy couldn’t carry a big Disney Christmas movie. But it’s ok, baby. I couldn’t either!

Episode 10: Christmas at Holly Lodge

We’re really starting to hate Christmas over here. Holly Lodge is a perfect middle-of-the-road Christmas movie. I often found myself asking: What else could I be doing with my life? The plot is simple: woman is single, man is (maybe) evil, woman runs a business and is behind on the rent. Who can help her? The man can! And we follow them through the joys of skiing together, baking cookies together, the works. Violet Lucca [https://twitter.com/unbuttonmyeyes?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor]— film critic, brilliant human— joined us to talk about a little piece of trash that Hallmark gifted us with just a few short years ago.

Episode 9: A Diva's Christmas Carol

We accidentally watched a good movie! How did that happen?! A Diva’s Christmas Carol starring the BEAUTIFUL Vanessa Williams was a made-for-TV VH1 movie from 2000. The fashion is on point and the acting is, well, it’s not great but it’s not THE WORST like everything else we’ve watched. Comedian and actor Karolena Theresa [https://www.instagram.com/karobeanah/?hl=en] joined our conversation and we all just mooned over Vanessa’s cheekbones. It was a blast.

Episode 8: A Dogwalker's Christmas Tale

You love dogs? Too bad! There are barely any in this movie! And there are barely any jokes! It's really bad! Join Katie and Amanda as they go on a journey with Mean Girls' Aaron Samuels and his costar, a baked potato. We’re joined this week by comedian Arti Gollapudi [http://www.artigollapudi.com/]. She’s brilliant!
