  • Ho ho have you ever been so down bad you start eyeing up the local snowmen.... me neither. However, this weeks movie dares to dream.

  • Snuggle up by our virtual fireplace as host Katie attempts to take her friends from skeptics to sentimentals in A Podcast For Christmas.  Deep dive into the festive fluff as we debate cynicism vs escapism, Christmas spirit vs capitalism and romance vs realism all through the lens of Hallmark-esque Holiday movies. We’ll ask - and keep asking - despite lack of on screen representation are these camp classics? Are they making the yuletide gay enough? Are these movies, in fact, a sleigh?
