NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO-HO-HO  

We take a break from Michael Mann to present our 2nd Annual Christmas-Adjacent Episode with Jack and Ken.

THE RULES:

A film that has Christmas in it but is not a classic "changed by the season" film using Christmas as a crutch for facile change in facile characters that was initially released during the Christmas season. No Santa unless he is a deranged murderer or has salmon in his pocket. DIE HARD can't be used because it is too obvious and we already watch it Christmas Eve, well after we recorded the episode. NO SHANE BLACK FILMS. They all take place during Christmas and it's a bit boring by this point. C'mon, Shane, there are 11 other months in which to set stories. Other than that, anything goes. 

Last year Ken chose LA Confidential, which has a brutal murder on Chritstmas, and Jack chose In Bruges, which has numerous brutal murders around Christmas. Two GREAT movies that capture the true meaning of the season! What will they choose this year??

HINTS:

KEN'S: The John Landis comedy made after his disastrous and fatal Twilight Zone shoot but before his equally disastrous conception of Max Landis.  

JACK'S: A depressing Danish drama from the director of last year's best movie . It stars Mads Michelob (sp?) and is about a tight-knit community being torn apart by a lie.   

INTRO: SPECIAL GUEST!
