Movie Meltdown - Episode 106.2

Gather around the electric heater kids as we continue part 2 of Movie Meltdown's FUCK ME SANTA HOLIDAY SPECIAL! In our usual cheery holiday spirits we discuss this week's Sofa Theater feature: Terry Zwigoff's BAD SANTA! It's loaded with all the boozing, sex and obscenities that you can cram into a heartwarming Christmas tale. But we find if you hose off some of the filth, you find an somber character study. An unconventional movie, from an unconventional director.

Plus feedback from the other side of the world and holiday wishes from the gang.

WARNING: Spoiler alert for "Bad Santa", so if you haven't dampened your holiday mood with this movie yet, please do.  

"Thank you...for our bloody pickle"

(Note to Lauren Graham: Again I say...the title card for this episode was made in good fun as a loving [literally] tribute. Please don't be creeped out. Happy Holidays!)
