Episode 67: Saving Christmas Spirit (2022)

Saving Christmas Spirit (2022) is the story of a holiday-hating archaeologist who must travel to Scotland on Christmas to save her job, where she falls in love with a failing Scotch distiller (get it? Spirit? Scotch? It’s a pun! Do you get it?). Ross tells us everything wrong with this movie’s depiction of the Scottish Highlands (also we talk about archaeology).
