Last Looks: Merry Kissmas

Celebrate Life Day with Paul, Jason, and special guests Matt Gourley (Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend) and Eden Sher (The Middle) as they discuss the infamous 1978 CBS TV film The Star Wars Holiday Special. They talk about Chewbacca being a bad father, the Diahann Carroll virtual reality porn, Harvey Korman being truly committed in all of his “comedic bits,” and so much more. Happy Life Day from HDTGM! (Ep. #126 Originally Released 12/25/2015)

It ain't Christmas b*tch! Our favorite old crone Jessica St. Clair joins us for our annual holiday livestream to break down 2015's Merry Kissmas—a movie with a softly magical elevator filled with unwanted kisses. They discuss Doris Roberts' forceful smooch, the flirty cousins, Kayla's obsession with the Nutcracker doll, the eccentric German shopkeeper, Carlton's triangular facial hair, the worst Santa ever, and so much more. Is it ok to commit adultery with your elevator soulmate? Is it normal to have a favorite pair of socks? Should you grab a face while kissing? The answers to all these questions get debated loudly and passionately. Merry Kissmas and a Happy Blowyear!

Robin Williams re-teaming with Barry Levinson, what could go wrong? Apparently, a lot!

They cover LL Cool J's interrogation, the bonkers reveal about Joan Cusack's character, and the strange tone and casting choices. Oh and don't worry, we don't forget about the sea monster!
