Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal

Layered Butter

As the Holly Jolly season bears down upon us and 2021 comes to a close, the Layered Butter Podcast busts out the hot chocolate and the hot takes in this Christmas special. Raf, Rod & Jordan debate the merits of what even should be considered a Christmas movie, touching Holiday media moments we like revisit every year, and Christmas cinematic catastrophes we’d rather forget. Is Home Alone 2 the superior movie? Which version of the Grinch reigns supreme? Is The Lord of the Rings a Christmas movie? Why is Jingle All The Way a top tier Christmas film? Do we need an Arnold Schwarzenegger ASMR? In non-Christmas news we also discuss the top 10 most discussed Films of 2021 according to Twitter - a list that surprisingly includes our favourite Myke Myers voiced Green Ogre; We reflect on Bob Iger’s reign as Disney CEO coming to a close, and what the Iger years have ment for the big D; and we discuss Hollywoods Relationship with China- and vice-versa. We end the show with our recommendations for what to watch to close out 2021. So hang your stockings, put the yuletide log video on the television and prepare yourself for a cozy good time with the Layered Butter Podcast.
