Sister Sh*t
Hot Gorillas + Christmas Sh*t
Ever had an allergic reaction to a self-care product? Imagine our surprise when our 'Self Care Club' shirts turned us into a scratchy, red mess, and that's just the beginning of our latest podcast adventure. We're also sharing the bizarre tale of Shabani, the gorilla whose smoldering good looks have captivated a nation and made us question our own celebrity obsessions.
Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions as we dissect the peculiar charm and chaos of holiday films. From the questionable use of fake snow in "The Nine Kittens of Christmas" to the timeless melodies of "White Christmas," we're not holding back on our opinions. We'll stroll down memory lane with the movies that shaped our festive spirits, argue over the eerie animation of "The Polar Express," and give props to those films that never fail to spread holiday cheer. Tune in for a good laugh, a sprinkle of nostalgia, and perhaps a little side-eye at some of the season's most cringe-worthy cinematic moments.
Hi, welcome to Sister Shit.
Speaker 3:We missed you guys last week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we did. We were unorganized, and now we're back.
Speaker 3:We had a wild like I was out of town and then it was my birthday weekend and then Meredith was out of town and you're like you know what we're going to have to leave people hanging with no notice for a week. So thank you, guys, for self care.
Speaker 3:Yes, self care queen, like the shirt, oh my gosh, the shirt that we got from Walmart. Remember what did that say Self care club, not queen Self care club. But then we like wore them for a self care weekend, me, meredith, and our friend Ben, and we didn't watch them first.
Speaker 2:Two out of three of us broke out and rashes all over our backs from the chemicals we think on the shirts on the self care shirts, which was didn't. I was the one that didn't break out and I don't know what that says about my body, that it's already accustomed to Walmart chemicals, or I don't know what that was about.
Speaker 3:Ben and I's backs were like covered in itchy red bumps for days, and we didn't even tell each other about it until later.
Speaker 2:Man good time Good times, good times.
Speaker 3:Okay, I wanted to open really fast.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:Before we jump into the awful kittens of Christmas.
Speaker 2:Oh Mark movie yes.
Speaker 3:I saw something on Instagram today. I think I might have already sent it to you which I should have waited but I was worried you'd see it Was the little kid that was singing a Christmas song, really like Macy's or something. No, Wait, I don't think I sent this to you.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 3:Yay, okay, did you see that there is a gorilla?
Speaker 2:You did send this to me. Oh, shoot and I we do need to discuss this. Okay, give some tell, describe it.
Speaker 3:Okay, so there's a viral gorilla who is apparently attractive at a zoo in Japan and apparently it's like increasing female attendance at a zoo.
Speaker 2:Cause he's so handsome.
Speaker 3:His name is oh gosh, wait, I gotta find what his name is Shabani. He's a global sensation. He apparently like gives a smolder.
Speaker 2:They said. They said he's like the gorilla George Clooney.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I'm like, okay, our whole Johnny theory from sing to yeah, isn't as weird, feels, validated it feels I feel validated.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Not that I'm going to go to a zoo.
Speaker 2:I feel weirded out.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, obviously I'm not going to be attracted to an actual gorilla, okay, but I'm like, okay, the fact that I thought a cartoon one was hot doesn't feel that far off. Yeah, oh yeah. For sure Johnny's hotter than Shabani. Still, I mean, there's a Johnny can play the piano.
Speaker 2:There's more than one hot cartoon animal For sure. Like I think that's less weird than like a hot actual animal, because they're animated by people and they're like expressions or are, like, designed and created after human expression. So it like makes sense that they read like humans.
Speaker 3:Shabani apparently has human expression on his own.
Speaker 2:It's, but the that's not his fault. I'm not blaming him, but the victim blaming him. I'm not blaming Shabani, but they had to put up signs around the zoo I did not watch the whole. Thing. No, I just saw and I mean no, they had to put up signs around his exhibit that said like do not yell at him because apparently girls would go up to his cage and be like Shabani, look at me.
Speaker 3:Ew, also this poor gorilla is just living his life at the zoo. He doesn't want any of y'all.
Speaker 2:I know, and so they had to like, they've had to like. Do some take some measures to like lower the like attraction at that zoo? It's just a joke though, Like our girls just like eh and take pictures with the hot gorilla, but they also apparently he has made it into like you can go around town and his face is on like posters and stuff like teeny bopper posters.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:You got to watch the whole video, girl. You sent that to me.
Speaker 3:He's on teeny bobber.
Speaker 2:They've got his head like his portrait with like hearts and like it looks like he looks like he's like a boy, little like singer.
Speaker 3:Like a Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's a gorilla, it's a gorilla, that actually exists.
Speaker 1:It weirds me out. It's very weird yeah that's odd. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:What is this? It must be. I think it must be like for that, the awe factor, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I'm like think about how lions used to be portrayed at the zoo. Not in like a way of like getting too into it, but not in a way that people thought that they were hot. But I feel like everyone like a celebrity.
Speaker 2:They're like I'm thinking about the gas car. This is not real life.
Speaker 3:But, like also the otters at our zoo, everyone knows that their sisters, everyone is obsessed with them because they're sisters.
Speaker 2:There's a difference between a narrative and like like going through the attraction because you're attracted, because we think they're hot. Yeah, no one's going to want to see the hot otter sisters at the zoo.
Speaker 3:And guess what boys? They're sisters.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, oh fun times, but yeah, worth the watch. We should repost that on our Instagram.
Speaker 3:Are like honestly blossoming and so well managed Instagram it's just popping off For those of you that are still around. Thank you for sticking with it, because we're both clearly really good at social media. I know.
Speaker 2:I just hate that it can't just be one medium. I'm like I just want to talk into a microphone. I don't want to do the other thing too.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's what we were talking about with Brooke, about how she was just like when, before we started recording with Brooke, when we had her on our show. And she was just saying like the content.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Really I don't know. I go through phases of like, okay, let's produce some content. And then like I just don't want to do any of it yeah, yeah. So if we're in a phase where we're just sharing other people's shit, bear with us, and that might all be all it ever is, anyway.
Speaker 2:So glad you're here, we are in our sixth month of podcast recording and over 20 episodes, and for our second to last episode of 2023, we are going to be chronic, not chronicling. We are going to be reviewing and discussing the film the cinematic masterpiece the nine kittens of Christmas. We hope you guys watched it. If you didn't, let's get a brief synopsis. Okay, would you like to give it, or me, or are you going to read it?
Speaker 3:Oh, I was going to, but you got it off the top of your head.
Speaker 2:I mean I can, I mean there's not much to sum up.
Speaker 3:Okay, you just go ahead Okay.
Speaker 2:The nine kittens of Christmas is about a person. A vet in Miami goes home to her town in Bend, colorado, oregon.
Speaker 3:Bend Oregon.
Speaker 2:Bend Oregon.
Speaker 3:That's right. St strategy.
Speaker 2:She is in love. Her partner does not come with her.
Speaker 3:Her partner is a boy.
Speaker 2:Her partner is really fine. He's a very serious veterinarian. He's all about the business. He cannot come home with her. She brings her cat Duchess with her.
Speaker 3:She and they mention that they're partners.
Speaker 2:Yes, they're dating, oh, they're dating, and they share a business together, which is a bad idea. So she brings Dutchess with her. Dutchess is her cat Upon arrival. Everyone is talking about her last cat who died queenie, who died four years ago, and she's talking about this cat as if it was her child.
Speaker 3:The thing is, it's like we get it. We've all got animals. We love our animals.
Speaker 2:But the thing is it would be one thing if it was just her talking about the cat in this way. It's like I can't believe it's been four years. I still want over it. But like every single person she comes into contact with is like we loved queenie.
Speaker 3:How you holding up after queenie died four years and four months ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's the plot of the movie.
Speaker 3:It's like because, like our parents had a Chihuahua that we all still talk about. But it would be weird if, like, anyone else, was talking about it outside of our family, right. I don't know, maybe not he was a legend, I don't know, probably people if people are talking about him, they're probably talking shit about him because he smelled so bad. That's true.
Speaker 2:Okay, so she shows up. The thing is, this whole movie, the plot is barely there, but they do not let a second go by without you reminding us that this movie is about cats.
Speaker 3:Yes, so the entire first scene is like a cat, just like running around a fire house.
Speaker 1:What was his name? Again Ambrose.
Speaker 3:Ambrose, how could you forget? They say it like not kidding 12 times in the first three minutes.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And the cat's like meow, meow, like it just so, okay, I feel like, okay, I'm trying to wrap up the synopsis. So her ex-boyfriend's a firefighter. She let like we don't know why they broke up, but she's like very tender also about that breakup. He.
Speaker 3:At this point, we don't know why they broke up.
Speaker 2:Yes, she's home visiting family. He's never left. He's supposed to be going on a vacation for Christmas and she's like her sister's, like don't worry, he's on vacation.
Speaker 1:He goes on a ski trip every year.
Speaker 2:Or you won't see him and she's like phew. And then they see each other and it's like the sparks are still there. He's about to leave for a ski trip and then he finds nine cats, nine kittens in a box, dropped on the stoop of the fire department. And he drops fucking everything for these cats. He doesn't go on a ski trip.
Speaker 3:He literally doesn't go on his ski trip because he is so stressed about this cat situation. The nine kittens, the nine kittens.
Speaker 2:Of Christmas, yeah. So he's like oh my gosh, I gotta bring him to a vet. Oh blah, I gotta get the shots, blah blah.
Speaker 3:he's walking down the road and he's like he runs into the ex-girlfriend again.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And let me just say, the town is just sprinkled with fakes now.
Speaker 2:Which is actually like spider webs from Halloween bundled up into fake snow. That's definitely the material it was.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Like the plastic-y spider webs. Yes, it was bad, it's everywhere.
Speaker 3:They're like running to each other on the sidewalk and he's like I don't know what I'm gonna do. Our only vet in town retired and this is where it begins or I guess it began before this, but this is where you start to realize the trend that she is going to tell you Every chance she can get that she is a vet. She's a vet.
Speaker 2:There are multiple monologues about how she's a vet.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:That's all we know about her.
Speaker 3:Do you remember? She's a vet and she's a dead mom.
Speaker 2:I do not know her name.
Speaker 3:She's a dead mom. Oh yeah, yes, both the parents died. Because the freaking Charm Bracelet and there's an advent calendar with the Charm Bracelets.
Speaker 2:I mean it's just, it's really bad. And she's like I'm a vet. I like, hello, look at me, I'm a vet. And he's like oh yeah. And then they're like okay, I guess together we will take, we'll like find homes for all these kittens, and so then the whole movie is them finding homes for all these kittens.
Speaker 3:That's the entire movie. Oh, but then there's the side story of the dead mom's advent calendar, charm Bracelet. And then there's the other side story of the fire chief retiring and they are rebuilding him a fire truck, and then there's and the sexual tension between him and his wife is like hotter than anything I've ever seen on it's way more chemistry than the main characters.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it was like a little too much for Hallmark Channel it was, I think he says three times like give me a kiss. Yeah, and like a he's like I'm gonna retire, so we can just like he was like really trying to Just give me a kiss. Give me a kiss.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:But she's really mean, I was gonna say she is a downright bitch, she is she is so mean, the whole movie, and I know you shouldn't say that about people, but she, I could not be her friend.
Speaker 2:She's so fucking mean, I know.
Speaker 3:Everything her sister says she's like well, I wasn't really like planning on doing that or like anything.
Speaker 2:the boy says what do you think they were going for when they wrote her character?
Speaker 3:I think like she's a serious she's supposed to look like she knows what she wants and she's serious because she's a vet, but like she really is just mean, okay, there's this one line Also not to downplay vets.
Speaker 2:But like she acts, like she is, like she's like I'm just so tired and like my job, my job, my job. And it's like, girl, don't you work nine to five. Like she acts, like it is just like the hardest thing ever to like run a vet clinic.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know I mean-.
Speaker 2:Like you'd think she was working like night shifts at the emergency room.
Speaker 3:I know you would think she's working night shifts. That by the way that she acts, I mean. I'm sure her job is hard. I considered being a vet for three seconds.
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 3:One, not serious. I considered so many things and I literally thought I am not up for euthanasia. Oh yeah, I can't be doing that shit, and I also can't be having dogs pooping all over the place and biting me when I try to clean their teeth.
Speaker 2:I'd imagine most pets are like not the pets you want to be spending your day with.
Speaker 3:Jay worked at a dog boarding place one time and we went in there the next morning. He had morning duty on a weekend, so you have to like go in there, let all the dogs out they have to get playtime and then you like clean all their kennels. One of the old dogs had to have horrible diarrhea and Jay and I had drank so much the night. Oh, no, and we were so hungover cleaning up dog diarrhea.
Speaker 2:Oh, Caroline.
Speaker 3:I was a really sweet wife, that I was helping him do that because that was his job. I was not getting paid for that shit, I just happened to be along for the ride and I think I knew before that. But that confirmed yeah, I wasn't meant to be mad, so maybe she is really tired, so she is tired. She's doing a lot. It's a hard job.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:She's doing a lot, but she doesn't have to be so mean yeah okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:Back to the mean. What was the part? Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3:The fire chief says they show them a picture of the cats because they're like trying to re-home the cats, and the wife is like, oh, look, how cute they are. And the fire chief is like, yeah, but anything looks cute in a wicker basket. And the girl goes actually no, they don't. That's actually not true, but oh yeah, that's what she says that's actually not true, and then it just ends that's when we realized she was a bitch, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then the whole rest of the movie and damn, she really is.
Speaker 3:So that was fun. It's such a bummer and the guys.
Speaker 2:The whole time we were watching were like dude, you don't want this. Do you want this? Like, don't fight for this girl.
Speaker 1:She's mean.
Speaker 2:She's mean, she's like the main character.
Speaker 3:She was not. There was negative amounts of chemistry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know how she booked that role. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:And then at the end, he proposed it.
Speaker 1:Which was like not necessary, not necessary.
Speaker 3:Like they barely acted like they liked each other.
Speaker 2:He asked her if she wanted to adopt the last cat with him, and then he proposed it was like no, we could have just ended the movie with you guys adopting the cat.
Speaker 3:We did not need to see y'all's future unfold.
Speaker 2:I don't think it's gonna be good. She's very mean to him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't. It's not gonna be a happy marriage. They've got now three cats Ambrose oh my gosh. We forgot to mention the fact that at the end, all of a sudden, the cats have personalities they like didn't before.
Speaker 2:Wait, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh. Yes, she's like crying in her bed and her cat throws her phone at her and is like call him Basically the cat doesn't say that, but the cat throws the phone. Yeah, you see the cat, and then so she calls him and then, all of a sudden, his cat, ambrose, answers the phone for him and, like throughout the whole movie, you don't see them do anything like that.
Speaker 3:Why wasn't there a side story with the cats? I don't know, because you were Meredith said like at the last 10 minutes. She's like I'm making a bet right now. It's gonna end with their two cats snuggling with each other. And there was none of them. We don't see the broken family mend at all.
Speaker 2:They don't they were broken family. No, they come from two broken families and the cats would become step siblings, it doesn't even happen. Man, that was a bad one.
Speaker 3:That I like. I could have rewritten that movie in five different ways. That would have been better than what it was.
Speaker 2:That was the first movie, that Paul Martin movie that Keith had watched all the way through and he was like gosh, are they all this bad? And I was like no, no, no, no. And I was like I guess they kind of all are.
Speaker 3:We started one that Meredith. We forgot about it and I was like, mayor, this is about on par with the puppeteer movie that we watched.
Speaker 2:Forgot about that one completely.
Speaker 3:We couldn't finish it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:We got 20 minutes in and homegirls sobbing over her missed puppeteer opportunity. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that one I wish I could remember what it was called. I know A puppet for Christmas Probably, if you could rewrite the cat movie to be better.
Speaker 3:What would you have done? I don't know, you go first, first of all, I would have had way more cat food.
Speaker 2:There were a lot of cat bleep b-roll, but I just want to see an airbud. But cats at Christmas. I want us to the mouth moving.
Speaker 3:Yes, me too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3:I was going to say, the thing I would have changed was that it would be about Queenie and Ambrose instead of boring ass, bitch and homeboy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, queenie and Ambrose are breeding cats to go on the black market. They're like they're like criminals overpopulating the small town with kittens.
Speaker 3:And then Santa has to give everyone a kitten for Christmas because there's so many, yeah oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:And actually so their plot. It turns out to be a happy Christmas story, because they're trying to like take over the world with kittens, but then Santa's like making all these kids really happy.
Speaker 3:Yes, Then they're like wait, we're like we all want to do this for good and set it for bad. Yeah, so they just keep, so they team up with Santa and they move to the North Pole and they become the kitten department for kids that want kittens for Christmas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah, already better. I would watch that 10 times over than nine kittens for Christmas.
Speaker 3:Also, why nine?
Speaker 2:They were all named after a reindeer. I know it should have been 12. Yeah, there was a lot there was also one single line where she was like there's nothing hotter than a cat when a oh my, she's like trying to sell that cat, like trying to get this guy to adopt a cat.
Speaker 3:There's nothing hotter than a man holding a cat. Stroking a cat, unless it's a kitten. Ooh, which is so sexual.
Speaker 2:Oh my God.
Speaker 3:I didn't really think about it being sexual? Yes, I thought she was just trying to be like clever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And then he makes a line about some kind of like I don't have to pay for a therapist because I just talked to my cat, I talked to my cat instead. And then he like asks, he tells her like oh yeah, I was making small talk with the therapist about my cat being my therapist and she was like well, she probably didn't like that, since she's a therapist Like, that was really dumb to do that Like she's so mean, she's so mean.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I forgot about that. Literally anything he did, she was just like that was dumb, she'd shit on him the entire movie, I know and then he proposed to her. She literally broke up with him the first time because he like didn't have enough, because he didn't want to be fire chief or something. She was like you're just too stagnant and I want to be a veterinarian, so I'm going to move on to Miami so I can do that.
Speaker 3:Also hot boy. Original boyfriend comes back in the last like 10 minutes of the movie I'm like bitch, I forgot about you. You did not need to reappear.
Speaker 2:And the drama you talk about, how you get stressed in like the littlest bit of drama. Were you stressed in that movie?
Speaker 3:No, because I was more stressed about baking the cookie that you left me to do on my own.
Speaker 2:I just like the drama wasn't even that good because, like, the boyfriend shows up for Miami and she was like I'm breaking up with you and he was like okay.
Speaker 3:I know.
Speaker 2:He was like no investment in anything. I know, man.
Speaker 3:And she jumps his freaking bones, the fire chiefs. She jumps his bones making out with him and then all of a sudden she's pissed off that they kissed and then cries to her sister about it. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Her sister had the personality of a box of hair.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:She gave nothing.
Speaker 3:I don't know, she had good highlights, that's it.
Speaker 2:And her hair was gray. Her hair was gray, yeah, her hair was good.
Speaker 3:Her hair looked great.
Speaker 2:But she their conversation. That was Keith Lee's fair part. Every time those two interacted she was like this is so dumb Also her, the sister's husband creepy. Very creepy. I think he was supposed to be like a great dad character, but it came off in a bad way, like a little too involved. Yeah, too involved, it was weird, it was weird.
Speaker 3:Also his weird line about the breeze. That was like I just can't. I couldn't. Most of the movie was unnecessary conversation.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah.
Speaker 3:Like it gave me the whole movie was unnecessary.
Speaker 2:Wait, what line about the breeze?
Speaker 3:Or he's like I brought you a breeze at the party in like the last 10 minutes of the movie, and she's like, and he's like, I want you to recreate the recipe, as if we're supposed to know that she's like a good baker or something with this like the first time they even talk about that. And then she's like, well, can you go get me like three more?
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's like well, if you're gonna, am I gonna recreate I'm gonna need three more. Yeah, that was totally unnecessary. Why do we need that to happen?
Speaker 3:I don't know this is so boring. I know Because the movie was so boring. I hope people watched it.
Speaker 2:And now we're just so they at least know we're referencing. I know I want other people to shit on it.
Speaker 3:Okay, what was your least? What's your least?
Speaker 2:like what's your least favorite Christmas movie and favorite Christmas movie? It doesn't have to be Hallmark.
Speaker 3:Favorite. Can I give you a list?
Speaker 2:Cause.
Speaker 3:I can't choose one Like classic. I love them up.
Speaker 2:Do you want to just do Hallmark? I do love them up. It's Christmas Carol.
Speaker 3:Then like one that I have to watch every year because of our family Christmas vacation, but then like newer ones. The love hard.
Speaker 2:You love that one.
Speaker 3:Same with the holiday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, love that one.
Speaker 3:There's that new one that came out that I already talked about last episode.
Speaker 2:Okay, what's your least favorite?
Speaker 3:Least favorite. That's not Hallmark. I don't really like the Jim Carrey Grinch. Jim Carrey stresses me out.
Speaker 2:I think we talked about that. He's chaotic.
Speaker 3:He's chaotic. I also don't really like which. This feels really controversial, controversial. I've never seen this movie all the way through and I think mom like poisoned me about this movie but it's Christmas story. I've never seen it all the way through either I haven't seen it all the way through and mom wouldn't really let us watch it because she said it stressed her out. And so now when I watch it I just get stressed and I've never seen it all the way through and I feel like you can't say that out loud.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't watch it. I've never seen it.
Speaker 3:People love it. Jay like cannot believe that I haven't seen it. But it was like a no-no in our family.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we never watched it.
Speaker 3:Our mom was like it stresses me out the family's fights too much, but then like Christmas vacation was okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I was allowed to watch that starting in like the third grade, but not Christmas story.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Weird, that's so yeah, christmas vacation family is like just as dysfunctional.
Speaker 3:But they're like I don't know, I guess, jolly about it. What are your favorites?
Speaker 2:I love White Christmas and we didn't grow up watching that. I like watched it two years ago for the first time, or maybe a couple more than that, but like as an adult with my own kids for the first time and was like how have I never seen this movie? It's so good Like I love it and I don't know my least favorite. I don't love Four Christmases.
Speaker 3:Oh gosh, I don't either. Our dad loves that movie. Talk about chaos, like I never want to watch that one. No, I also don't ever want to watch.
Speaker 2:I also love what's the one with Sarah Jessica Parker and she plays the weird girlfriend.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love that one Family.
Speaker 2:Stone.
Speaker 3:That's a good one. I really like that one. That's a really good one. There's another one that just made me think of it Love the Grinch the original Grinch.
Speaker 2:I watched that one over here. I love okay.
Speaker 3:After you sent me that guy on Instagram talking about year without a Santa Claus. That used to be my shit Like literally mom bought me that on DVD one year for Christmas because I wouldn't shut up about it Cause I loved the song. Yeah, snowmizer, heatmizer. Great movie Plot not good.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:I didn't realize that until this year, heartthrob Anderson.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he like breaks it down.
Speaker 2:It's so funny and it's such a bad movie. Lots of plot holes.
Speaker 3:Lots of plot holes, but classic.
Speaker 2:I know we haven't kept like I think because they're not easy to find, like on digital streaming services. But like I, we haven't watched those religiously with the kids every year. Like we'll watch. We always watch the Grinch, but that's the.
Speaker 3:We don't watch the claymations every year, which makes me kind of sad. We do year without a Santa Claus.
Speaker 2:We still need to watch. We still need to watch Charlie Brown. I love that one.
Speaker 3:I love Charlie Brown too. Jay's favorite movie Christmas movie is Arthur Christmas.
Speaker 2:That one's cute.
Speaker 3:He loves it, literally so much.
Speaker 2:Actually, I always get that one in Klaus mixed up. He likes Klaus too, but Arthur.
Speaker 3:Christmas is pretty cute. He's like. It's like all the Santas, like the Grandpa Santa, the dad and then the two brothers. And like the really like outspoken go getter brother thinks he's gonna like become the next Santa, but then like Arthur Christmas.
Speaker 2:Maybe I have seen it.
Speaker 3:It's like he it's very cute.
Speaker 2:You know what Leigh's hair Christmas movie polar express.
Speaker 3:Holy shit, I hate that movie.
Speaker 2:I just watched that for the first time since I was a kid.
Speaker 3:You're right, that's the worst one.
Speaker 2:And it's. The entire movie is pale, it's really stressful. It's like the kids are in constant danger.
Speaker 3:Yes, it is so stressful.
Speaker 2:The spirit of Christmas is so weird.
Speaker 3:And like really confusing and really confusing and also the CGI, the North Pole is the ugliest city.
Speaker 2:It is like the most unmagical city they could have possibly imagined.
Speaker 3:I completely agree. I completely agree Like it is like it.
Speaker 2:I hate it. I know I hate it. It's so bad. It's so bad. The elves are so creepy.
Speaker 3:The CGI. The kids are creepy. Yeah, the kids are so weird looking and all of I just think about the little girl who's supposed to be adorable. Her little braids stick straight out of her head and the little poor boy.
Speaker 2:What's that term? Uncanny valley? I feel like it was like kind of uncanny valley when it came out. Now it's just weird. Like uncanny valley is like when something I can't ever describe it well, but it's like when something like looks wait, look it up. It's like when something looks too realistic but it's like not. It like leaves you feeling unsettled or something like that. But anyway, yeah, I watched that the night before we went to the experience with the girls and they liked and enjoy it.
Speaker 3:Oh, it says, an eerie sensation one feels when they encounter a robot with human-like characteristics.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, but yes, that is how I feel about the Polar Express kids, yeah, but yeah, I don't know, like they didn't really enjoy it.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, this came up.
Speaker 2:I was like yeah, you're right, this is weird, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Ew and the kid's like kind of a brat.
Speaker 2:Is he the main character, not a brat I?
Speaker 3:don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Anyway, I just don't like it Not good. Our dad loves that movie.
Speaker 3:The one kid that's like wait, sorry, the toy scene on the train.
Speaker 2:Oh, very creepy yeah.
Speaker 3:That scared me so bad and I was like too old to be scared by a kid movie?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't. I didn't enjoy any of it.
Speaker 3:No, I always want to rewatch it and I'm like hell, no, it's not worth it.
Speaker 2:It's a lot of now that, like the CGI is an impressive, it's like not worth watching.
Speaker 3:No, Okay but we can end on this, okay, jay makes us watch a movie every year when we decorate our tree. It is not a Christmas movie, in my opinion.
Speaker 1:Frozen.
Speaker 3:Yes, he thinks it's a Christmas movie. It's based in the summer.
Speaker 2:I don't think he's alone in that, but I don't think it's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3:Like it's based in the summer and the only reason it's snowing is because Elsa can't control herself.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It has nothing to do with Christmas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's another movie that's like that too, and I can't think of what it is.
Speaker 3:I mean, everyone says die hard, but I've never seen die hard.
Speaker 2:I haven't either. I suck at movies. I should watch it Pretty way.
Speaker 3:I just always fall asleep in the first 15 minutes of everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you really do.
Speaker 3:You really get me like nine kittens of Christmas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, maybe we just watched that the middle of the day so you couldn't fall asleep and I drank a coffee while watching it. So Gosh, I wish we could remember anyone's name, like I can't remember a single person's name except for Ambrose.
Speaker 3:Ambrose the cat and Queenie and Queenie and Duchess and Duchess.
Speaker 2:And all the nine kittens, but no human names.
Speaker 3:I don't remember one single human name, All right well. So definitely watch it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 3:It is wild and it's not actually.
Speaker 2:It's really really boring.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the whole time we were pissed because we were just like bored, but I also like had to finish it, like I needed to know how it ended.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know you were late to your evening that night, because we were stuck watching the nine kittens. I know.
Speaker 3:But I wouldn't say it's when I recommend. No Unless you're just really wanting to know what we're talking about.
