Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 226: “Bad Santa”

‘Tis the season to be jolly, to make merry, to welcome friends into your home to celebrate the holidays. And on Mousterpiece Cinema, ’tis the season for holiday-themed episodes of the podcast! And now that we’re all Santa Clause-d out on the show, it’s time get a bit naughty. A bit…bad, you might say. So what better film to discuss this week than Bad Santa? Yes, this 2003 comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton as a low-down-and-dirty thief who dresses up as a mall Santa is from the Walt Disney Company, so it’s on the docket this week. Josh and Gabe welcome Scott Tobias back to the program to debate…well, not that much! Spoiler alert: we’re all big fans of this movie, just as we’re not very big fans of the idea of the impending sequel. But hey, even when we’re all agreeing, the spirit of the season demands that you listen. So…you know what to do!
