Episode 71 – Jingle All The Way
It’s hard to believe that Jingle All The Way came out 21 years ago. Who would have ever thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger would have made a family Christmas blockbuster?! Well once you see this movie we think you’ll understand why. We enjoyed this movie. Full stop. And we think you will too. But why did we love it so much? Turns out this film is more complex than we initially thought. It’s our last episode of the year, so we figured it would be fun to go out with an interesting choice! See you in the new year flesh brothers!
A father vows to get his son a Turbo Man action figure for Christmas, however, every store is sold out of them, and he must travel all over town and compete with everybody else in order to find one.
