Merry Christmas! We’re allowed to say that again. BOOM. Taste the freedom as we wait for Santa (or is that Shotgun Murder Santa?) to slide down our chimney on Xmas Eve while making merry with some good old-fashioned holiday cheer. Said cheer mostly involves our feelings about The Last Jedi (skip from 8:32 min in to 43:50 to avoid TLJ spoilers!), comparing our best film and TV of the year lists, and discussing which shitty pop star’s fans have been leaving loseriffic (and homophobic!) comments on our YouTube channel (hint: might sound kinda like Roast Pantone). Along the way we pause to share what Nacho Vigando told us his Star Wars movie would be about, debate whether or not green milk can be vegan, and play a peppy and adorable round of Uncle Sean’s Porg trivia (and yes, Nicole is still holding out for Vulptex trivia).
