Seeing is believing but believing is seeing (both of which mean nothing in an audio-only format. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam and Kev, (we may have some elves waiting for us at the North Pole) as the reindeer are taking us to Santa's workshop in the Tim Allen Christmas mainstay, The Santa Clause. We're checking the naughty/nice list (twice) in our 252nd episode as we discuss:

• Why we're doing this film in early November


• The fallout from the battle of the KevDogs


• Tim Allen's star power in 1994


• The director's qualification for doing this film


• We talk about our own history with Santa Claus in our own lives


• How do we reconcile a protagonist that kidnaps his own child


• Is Tim Allen even bothering to act in this one?


• Someone reveals their first celebrity crush


• We talk about stepparent representation in family films


• We give our own BFE analysis of the U.S. Presidential Election


• Whether or not The Santa Clause is the Best Film Ever
