20 It's a Take 4 Christmas

Happy holidays listeners! We gathered around a fake yule log and talked about the reason for the season. Mediocre Christmas movies. Plus, while a little bit inebriated, the cast was pretty much divided on whether or not Christmas overall sucks. Mostly it did. Call it a blue Christmas. We also talked about how Santa is a kidnapper in Elf, Whoville should've cared more about the presents the Grinch stole, and basically how all Christmas movies are lies designed to control the youth of the world for as long as possible.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

19 Star Wars I-VI (Obi-Wan sucks and the Jedi are dicks)

Take 4 returns of the jedi with a new hope to strike back against the attack of podcast clones who have the revenge of a sith with a phantom menace.

There's a lot of laughs as the crew greases the old podcast hinges to get back in action for the biggest advertisments for toys ever: Star Wars.

11 Villains, Bad Guys and Scoundrels

In honour of Hotel Transylvania (kind of) we dove into the meaty topic of antagonists in popular media. What makes a villain good and is there any such thing as strict villain anymore? We answer these questions and more. We discuss the concept of villains on Game of Thrones, Dragonball Z, Grand Theft Auto and Spongebob. It's that kind of episode. Also in the neeeeews Men in Black might not have Will Smith anymore, Furious 8 has no director and Spider-Man is still gonna be in movies, which thank God because I was worried they wouldn't make any more Spider-Man movies.

07 Video Game Movies Are Terrible (But They Don't Have To Be)

In honour of critical and commercial failure 'Hitman: Agent 47' we decided we would take a look at just what makes video game movies so bad and see if we can envision a world where they could be...decent. Look we're not miracle workers so...decent's all you get, DEAL WITH IT.

We played a drinking game and watch the original series of the Fantastic Four. Everything Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffududud. Why is Invisible Woman always naked?
