  • Unknown Broadcast | "A Holiday Visit" "Christmas Gift" "Dead Man's Holiday" "Holiday Story" "The Terrifying Gift"
    Dec 22 2024
    The featured radio show presents a unique holiday anthology, combining elements of mystery, nostalgia, and the supernatural, delivered through captivating storytelling and immersive soundscapes. Setting the stage for a chilling yet festive atmosphere, the show invites listeners to embrace the spectral charm of the season while enjoying an eclectic mix of narratives revolving around familial bonds, unexpected occurrences, and the perennial question of fate versus free will.

    The first story begins with a festive backdrop of holiday travelers contending with a severe snowstorm. A couple, Joan and Skip Bartram, embark on a long-awaited journey to visit family for Christmas after being away for years. As their excitement builds for a family reunion, they take an unmarked detour down a desolate highway, unaware that the road leads them to an eerie ghost town devoid of people. The unexpected adventure unfolds with their car crashing, prompting them to seek refuge in an ominous hotel that becomes a vessel of suspense and mystery. As the atmosphere grows increasingly tense and surreal, they encounter a seemingly kind but enigmatic local woman, Mrs. McGinnis, whose behavior hints at something darker stirring within the town's haunting silence.

    Transitioning into the second half of the show, the narratives shift to more intimate, character-driven tales. With the simplistic charm of holiday gatherings and the somber tones of realization and reflection, a deeper exploration of familial ties emerges. The characters grapple with their pasts, past decisions, and the sometimes burdensome weight of expectations, all under the looming shadow of Christmas.

    A distinctive thread emerges through the stories as characters ponder the nature of their existence, their roles within their families, and the supernatural forces at work that seem to dictate their destinies. The classic elements of mystery—secret legacies, inexplicable sightings, and the question of generational curses—play out through richly drawn interactions, leading to poignant moments of revelation. As unforeseen consequences unwind, characters draw closer to their truths, discovering what truly matters as they navigate the complexities of their fates.

    In a powerful thematic conclusion, the final narrative emphasizes notions of redemption, sacrifice, and the cyclical nature of giving and accepting love. By weaving through chilling circumstances and existential reflections, listeners are left to ponder the connections that bind us, the memories we cherish, and the bonds that linger beyond the grave. The show ultimately invites an introspective look at the essence of the holiday spirit, reminding us of the bittersweet truths of life, love, and loss while leaving listeners with a lingering sense of mystery and wonder.

    The multifaceted storytelling style employed throughout the radio show serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of human experience during the holidays, juxtaposing warmth and light against cold and darkness. In the end, the enigmatic nature of fate and familial ties encapsulates the essence of the season—reminding all that the unknown may hold hidden gifts, even in the most chilling of circumstances.

  • Do You Even Movie? | Krampus (2015)
    Dec 21 2024
    "Saint Nicholas isn't coming this year. Instead, a much darker, ancient spirit has arrived—Krampus."As the holiday season winds down, we're closing out Christmas with a modern horror classic that's about to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Join Henrique and David as they travel (metaphorically) to New Zealand to discuss Krampus (2015), the shadow of St. Nicholas who punishes instead of rewards. This fan-favorite Yuletide horror has become a staple of December movie marathons.

    When young Max and his dysfunctional family have an explosive argument during Christmas, he unknowingly summons the demonic Krampus—a dark counterpart to Santa Claus who punishes non-believers. Now, Max and his family must survive the night against the terrifying spirit in Michael Dougherty’s Krampus!

    Starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, and David Koechner, this episode dives into why Krampus has such rewatchable charm, from its thrilling practical effects by Weta Workshop to its perfect blend of horror and holiday spirit. Plus, hear Henrique and David discuss their first time seeing it on opening night, the debate over whether Lethal Weapon or Die Hard is the ultimate Christmas movie, and more holiday-themed recommendations, including the Silent Night, Deadly Night novelization and the wild ride that is Santastein.

    It’s the LONGEST episode of Do You Even Movie? yet—so grab some eggnog, stoke the fire, and enjoy this festive deep dive just in time for the big day!Links & Contact Info:
