After our lengthy deep dive into Dolly Parton, we decided to give ourselves a well-deserved break by watching *checks notes* the two loudest movies on the face of the Earth, both of which--spoiler alert--were written by Chris Columbus, the director of Home Alone, which was good, and the first two "Harry Potter" movies, which were...less so. First up, we have the unexpected Christmas family/black comedy/horror/wet puppet romp Gremlins. Then, we watch the most star-studded cast of '80s tweens scream over each other while searching for pirate treasure in The Goonies!

This episode contains explicit language, as well as discussions of violence, including the death of Santa Claus.

Co-Hosts: Sydney Painter and Anthony Pinggera
