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 3We missed you guys last week.
Speaker 2Yeah, we did. We were unorganized, and now we're back.
Speaker 3We 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 3Yes, 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 2Two 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 3Ben 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 2Man good time Good times, good times.
Speaker 3Okay, I wanted to open really fast.
Speaker 1Oh.
Speaker 3Before we jump into the awful kittens of Christmas.
Speaker 2Oh Mark movie yes.
Speaker 3I 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 2Oh, okay.
Speaker 3Yay, okay, did you see that there is a gorilla?
Speaker 2You did send this to me. Oh, shoot and I we do need to discuss this. Okay, give some tell, describe it.
Speaker 3Okay, 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 2Cause he's so handsome.
Speaker 3His 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 2They said. They said he's like the gorilla George Clooney.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Not that I'm going to go to a zoo.
Speaker 2I feel weirded out.
Speaker 3Well, 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 2There'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 3Shabani apparently has human expression on his own.
Speaker 2It'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 3Ew, also this poor gorilla is just living his life at the zoo. He doesn't want any of y'all.
Speaker 2I 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 1Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2You got to watch the whole video, girl. You sent that to me.
Speaker 3He's on teeny bobber.
Speaker 2They'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 3Like a Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2Yeah, but it's a gorilla, it's a gorilla, that actually exists.
Speaker 1It weirds me out. It's very weird yeah that's odd. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2What is this? It must be. I think it must be like for that, the awe factor, you know.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2They're like I'm thinking about the gas car. This is not real life.
Speaker 3But, like also the otters at our zoo, everyone knows that their sisters, everyone is obsessed with them because they're sisters.
Speaker 2There'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 3And guess what boys? They're sisters.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, oh fun times, but yeah, worth the watch. We should repost that on our Instagram.
Speaker 3Are 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 2I 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 3I 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 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Really 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 2So 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 3Oh, I was going to, but you got it off the top of your head.
Speaker 2I mean I can, I mean there's not much to sum up.
Speaker 3Okay, you just go ahead Okay.
Speaker 2The nine kittens of Christmas is about a person. A vet in Miami goes home to her town in Bend, colorado, oregon.
Speaker 3Bend Oregon.
Speaker 2Bend Oregon.
Speaker 3That's right. St strategy.
Speaker 2She is in love. Her partner does not come with her.
Speaker 3Her partner is a boy.
Speaker 2Her 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 3She and they mention that they're partners.
Speaker 2Yes, 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 3The thing is, it's like we get it. We've all got animals. We love our animals.
Speaker 2But 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 3How you holding up after queenie died four years and four months ago.
Speaker 2Yeah, so that's the plot of the movie.
Speaker 3It'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 2Okay, 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 3Yes, so the entire first scene is like a cat, just like running around a fire house.
Speaker 1What was his name? Again Ambrose.
Speaker 3Ambrose, how could you forget? They say it like not kidding 12 times in the first three minutes.
The Problematic Hallmark Movie
Speaker 2Yeah. 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 3At this point, we don't know why they broke up.
Speaker 2Yes, 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 1He goes on a ski trip every year.
Speaker 2Or 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 3He literally doesn't go on his ski trip because he is so stressed about this cat situation. The nine kittens, the nine kittens.
Speaker 2Of 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 3he's walking down the road and he's like he runs into the ex-girlfriend again.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3And let me just say, the town is just sprinkled with fakes now.
Speaker 2Which is actually like spider webs from Halloween bundled up into fake snow. That's definitely the material it was.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2Like the plastic-y spider webs. Yes, it was bad, it's everywhere.
Speaker 3They'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 2There are multiple monologues about how she's a vet.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2That's all we know about her.
Speaker 3Do you remember? She's a vet and she's a dead mom.
Speaker 2I do not know her name.
Speaker 3She'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 2I 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 3That'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 2Yeah, 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 1Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3But 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 2She's so fucking mean, I know.
Speaker 3Everything her sister says she's like well, I wasn't really like planning on doing that or like anything.
Speaker 2the boy says what do you think they were going for when they wrote her character?
Speaker 3I 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 2But 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 3Yeah, I don't know I mean-.
Speaker 2Like you'd think she was working like night shifts at the emergency room.
Speaker 3I 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 2Did you?
Speaker 3One, 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 2I'd imagine most pets are like not the pets you want to be spending your day with.
Speaker 3Jay 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 2Oh, Caroline.
Speaker 3I 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 2Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3She's doing a lot, but she doesn't have to be so mean yeah okay, yeah.
Speaker 2Back to the mean. What was the part? Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3The 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 2And then the whole rest of the movie and damn, she really is.
Speaker 3So that was fun. It's such a bummer and the guys.
Speaker 2The 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 1She's mean.
Speaker 2She's mean, she's like the main character.
Speaker 3She was not. There was negative amounts of chemistry.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know how she booked that role. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3And then at the end, he proposed it.
Speaker 1Which was like not necessary, not necessary.
Speaker 3Like they barely acted like they liked each other.
Speaker 2He 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 3We did not need to see y'all's future unfold.
Speaker 2I don't think it's gonna be good. She's very mean to him.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2Wait, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3Oh 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 3Why 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 2They 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 3That I like. I could have rewritten that movie in five different ways. That would have been better than what it was.
Speaker 2That 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 3We 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 2Forgot about that one completely.
Speaker 3We couldn't finish it.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3We got 20 minutes in and homegirls sobbing over her missed puppeteer opportunity. Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 3What would you have done? I don't know, you go first, first of all, I would have had way more cat food.
Speaker 2There 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 3Yes, me too.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3I 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 2Yeah, 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 3And then Santa has to give everyone a kitten for Christmas because there's so many, yeah oh my gosh.
Speaker 2And 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 3Yes, 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 2Yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah, already better. I would watch that 10 times over than nine kittens for Christmas.
Speaker 3Also, why nine?
Speaker 2They 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 3There's nothing hotter than a man holding a cat. Stroking a cat, unless it's a kitten. Ooh, which is so sexual.
Speaker 2Oh my God.
Speaker 3I didn't really think about it being sexual? Yes, I thought she was just trying to be like clever.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3And 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 2Oh 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 3Also 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 2And the drama you talk about, how you get stressed in like the littlest bit of drama. Were you stressed in that movie?
Speaker 3No, because I was more stressed about baking the cookie that you left me to do on my own.
Speaker 2I 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 3I know.
Speaker 2He was like no investment in anything. I know, man.
Speaker 3And 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 2Her sister had the personality of a box of hair.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2She gave nothing.
Speaker 3I don't know, she had good highlights, that's it.
Speaker 2And her hair was gray. Her hair was gray, yeah, her hair was good.
Speaker 3Her hair looked great.
Favorite and Least Favorite Christmas Movies
Speaker 2But 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 3Also his weird line about the breeze. That was like I just can't. I couldn't. Most of the movie was unnecessary conversation.
Speaker 2Well, yeah.
Speaker 3Like it gave me the whole movie was unnecessary.
Speaker 2Wait, what line about the breeze?
Speaker 3Or 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 2Yeah, 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 3I don't know this is so boring. I know Because the movie was so boring. I hope people watched it.
Speaker 2And now we're just so they at least know we're referencing. I know I want other people to shit on it.
Speaker 3Okay, what was your least? What's your least?
Speaker 2like what's your least favorite Christmas movie and favorite Christmas movie? It doesn't have to be Hallmark.
Speaker 3Favorite. Can I give you a list?
Speaker 2Cause.
Speaker 3I can't choose one Like classic. I love them up.
Speaker 2Do you want to just do Hallmark? I do love them up. It's Christmas Carol.
Speaker 3Then like one that I have to watch every year because of our family Christmas vacation, but then like newer ones. The love hard.
Speaker 2You love that one.
Speaker 3Same with the holiday.
Speaker 2Yeah, love that one.
Speaker 3There's that new one that came out that I already talked about last episode.
Speaker 2Okay, what's your least favorite?
Speaker 3Least favorite. That's not Hallmark. I don't really like the Jim Carrey Grinch. Jim Carrey stresses me out.
Speaker 2I think we talked about that. He's chaotic.
Speaker 3He'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 2Yeah, I didn't watch it. I've never seen it.
Speaker 3People love it. Jay like cannot believe that I haven't seen it. But it was like a no-no in our family.
Speaker 2Yeah, we never watched it.
Speaker 3Our mom was like it stresses me out the family's fights too much, but then like Christmas vacation was okay.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3I was allowed to watch that starting in like the third grade, but not Christmas story.
Speaker 2Yeah, Weird, that's so yeah, christmas vacation family is like just as dysfunctional.
Speaker 3But they're like I don't know, I guess, jolly about it. What are your favorites?
Speaker 2I 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 3Oh 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 2I also love what's the one with Sarah Jessica Parker and she plays the weird girlfriend.
Speaker 1Oh, I love that one Family.
Speaker 2Stone.
Speaker 3That'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 2I watched that one over here. I love okay.
Speaker 3After 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 2No.
Speaker 1I didn't realize that until this year, heartthrob Anderson.
Speaker 3Yeah, he like breaks it down.
Speaker 2It's so funny and it's such a bad movie. Lots of plot holes.
Speaker 3Lots of plot holes, but classic.
Speaker 2I 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 3We don't watch the claymations every year, which makes me kind of sad. We do year without a Santa Claus.
Speaker 2We still need to watch. We still need to watch Charlie Brown. I love that one.
Speaker 3I love Charlie Brown too. Jay's favorite movie Christmas movie is Arthur Christmas.
Speaker 2That one's cute.
Speaker 3He loves it, literally so much.
Speaker 2Actually, I always get that one in Klaus mixed up. He likes Klaus too, but Arthur.
Speaker 3Christmas 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 2Maybe I have seen it.
Speaker 3It's like he it's very cute.
Speaker 2You know what Leigh's hair Christmas movie polar express.
Speaker 3Holy shit, I hate that movie.
Speaker 2I just watched that for the first time since I was a kid.
Speaker 3You're right, that's the worst one.
Speaker 2And it's. The entire movie is pale, it's really stressful. It's like the kids are in constant danger.
Speaker 3Yes, it is so stressful.
Speaker 2The spirit of Christmas is so weird.
Speaker 3And like really confusing and really confusing and also the CGI, the North Pole is the ugliest city.
Speaker 2It is like the most unmagical city they could have possibly imagined.
Speaker 3I completely agree. I completely agree Like it is like it.
Speaker 2I hate it. I know I hate it. It's so bad. It's so bad. The elves are so creepy.
Speaker 3The 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 2What'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 3Oh, it says, an eerie sensation one feels when they encounter a robot with human-like characteristics.
Speaker 2Oh, 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 3Oh my gosh, this came up.
Speaker 2I was like yeah, you're right, this is weird, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3Ew and the kid's like kind of a brat.
Speaker 2Is he the main character, not a brat I?
Speaker 3don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2Anyway, I just don't like it Not good. Our dad loves that movie.
Speaker 3The one kid that's like wait, sorry, the toy scene on the train.
Speaker 2Oh, very creepy yeah.
Speaker 3That scared me so bad and I was like too old to be scared by a kid movie?
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't. I didn't enjoy any of it.
Speaker 3No, I always want to rewatch it and I'm like hell, no, it's not worth it.
Speaker 2It's a lot of now that, like the CGI is an impressive, it's like not worth watching.
Speaker 3No, 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 1Frozen.
Speaker 3Yes, he thinks it's a Christmas movie. It's based in the summer.
Speaker 2I don't think he's alone in that, but I don't think it's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3Like it's based in the summer and the only reason it's snowing is because Elsa can't control herself.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3It has nothing to do with Christmas.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's another movie that's like that too, and I can't think of what it is.
Speaker 3I mean, everyone says die hard, but I've never seen die hard.
Speaker 2I haven't either. I suck at movies. I should watch it Pretty way.
Speaker 3I just always fall asleep in the first 15 minutes of everything.
Speaker 2Yeah, you really do.
Speaker 3You really get me like nine kittens of Christmas.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 3Ambrose the cat and Queenie and Queenie and Duchess and Duchess.
Speaker 2And all the nine kittens, but no human names.
Speaker 3I don't remember one single human name, All right well. So definitely watch it.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 3It is wild and it's not actually.
Speaker 2It's really really boring.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1Yeah, I know you were late to your evening that night, because we were stuck watching the nine kittens. I know.
Speaker 3But I wouldn't say it's when I recommend. No Unless you're just really wanting to know what we're talking about.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3I don't recommend it, sorry, I feel like.
Speaker 2No, I mean I like.
Speaker 3I'm like sorry to people listening. I'm like I feel like we should be recommending I could recommend it.
