Home Alone (1990)

Merry Culkin Keatmas!  This is of course our follow up podcast to the LiveWatch of Home Alone, in which we take issue with our old pal Roger Ebert’s dour review of the film, trade trivia about the film, and in general talk about why it’s one of our very favorite Christmas films.  We’re not done!  Not by a long shot.  Come back next week as we put the Keaton back in Keatmas with Batman Returns!

Jack Frost (1998)

The Merry Culkin Keatmas rages on with our podcast that brings the Keaton to Keatmas, 1998’s box office bomb, Jack Frost.  The film isn’t great, but we managed to extract a surprising amount of fun and holiday cheer from it.  Enjoy!  And don’t forget Lunch coming this Friday!  Next week we’ll tackle Home Alone with both LiveWatch and podcast.  See you then!

Jack Frost (1998) – LIVEWATCH

The first present of our Merry Culkin Keatmas Christmas celebration has been opened!  Sit back and sync up our Live Watch commentary with your copy of the ill conceived and ill fated 1998 Michael Keaton / horrifying snowman puppet / CGI monstrosity Jack Frost!  See if you can spot the Robert Baratheon cameo before we do!  Can you solve the mystery of the woman who against all evidence is not actually Elizabeth Shue?  Thrill to us trying to decipher the dialog of Charlie “the Brain” Frost’s marble-mouthed performance.  And have your heart warmed by a story featuring a boy who loses his father on Christmas — TWICE! — while we play to Grinch who picks the film apart!  And if Live Watches aren’t your thing, wait until Wednesday, when we release a podcast where we recap what we learned and took away from old Jack.
