We are back, and the holiday party continues, as we cover a few geek activities, and “very special“ installment of the ever popular Marlena Moment. Then we watch the beloved holiday classic that is “Black Christmas“. As the Sofa Theater discussion kicks in we discuss, ‘The Bob Clark Thing’ - about a massively influential director that left his mark on cinema history. As well as Olivia Hussy, Margot Kidder, a creepy-looking Christmas tree, a fabulous fur coat and an awesome One From The Vaults memory from the movie’s star John Saxon!
