Christmas Movies Actually

Episode 61: Holiday Inn (80th Anniversary)

Broadcast on:
04 May 2022

Kerry and Collin take a listener request to talk about the Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire classic, "Holiday Inn" (1942). Did the movie celebrate one holiday too many? (the only acceptable answer to this question is yes) Were the norms of rom-coms in the '40s vastly different from ones made today? What would podcasts sound like during this era? Also, "We Just Say Book," the Blu-ray Gift Exchange, an overview of the Chicago Critics Film Festival and a special announcement from your hosts.
