Festive Flops

Episode #13 - Holiday in Handcuffs

Merry Christmas dear listeners! Anthony and Jillian wish you the merriest and brightest of holidays as they gift you a retelling of the mack daddy of all bad holiday romcoms, 2007's festive flop, "Holiday in Handcuffs." One of the greatest works of classic film, ABC Family's masterpiece, starring Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez, is nothing short of a farcical, homophobic romp that will make you believe in the magic of Stockholm Syndrome.

Episode #12 - Love Actually

Merry Christmas Eve 2024! You know you want to spend it with Anthony and Jillian as they tear apart beloved holiday ensemble favorite, 2003's festive not-so-much-of-a-flop, "Love Actually." While, yes, it's a product of its time, our hosts can't help but roast the transphobic, fatphobic, and sexist "festering turd" of a script produced by people who should have known better in 2003.

Episode #11 - Holiday Switch

It's almost Christmas 2024, so join Anthony and Jillian as they embark on one woman's inter-dimensional journey to get rich and abandon the husband she hates in 2007's festive flop, "Holiday Switch." Listen in as our hosts get bored with excessive time-killing montages and speculate on the secret sci-fi aspects of this film's all-powerful yellow ornament and clothes dryer.

Episode #10 - A Christmas Letter

This week, Anthony and Jillian tackle David Lipper's author self-insert festive flop in 2021's "A Christmas Letter." Full of runaway orphans, ADT product placement, and romantic chemistry scores in the negatives, will writer/actor David Lipper score the hot female lead he wrote for himself to woo?? Oh, and this one stars Colin Mochrie as Santa Clause!

Episode #9 - Eve's Christmas

This week, Anthony and Jillian jump back in time to retell and review a Christmas gone-wrong in 2004's festive flop, "Eve's Christmas." In this tale of reused sets, last minute wedding planning, and Zac Efron look-alikes, join our hosts for a magical recounting of this poorly edited, mid-00s time travel romp.
