Movies with John
Ep 12 - Rudolph Is Our Favorite Reindeer
***Spoilers Alerts for Love Actually and The Santa Clause***
Ho, ho, ho, dear listeners. We are here in the holiday season and your favorite pod makes its triumphant return to talk about Christmas movies. In this special episode, your host, John and his guest, Tom, are joined by two very special guests, their wives, Ann and Ayanda. Taped live and in person (mostly), we really get into the meaning of the holidays. We talk about Christmas movies and traditions, complete with a discussion of South African Christmas. We even get some insight into how Ann and Ayanda feel about the pod, the project, MWJ. We then delve into the movies, first Love Actually and second The Santa Clause. What emerges is a comprehensive view on the meaning of Christmas, myth making and the role of film in our holiday traditions. The pod ends with the MWJ household coming with a hot, persuasive take on the virtue of Rudolph as the best reindeer. Rudolph, it should be clear, IS our favorite reindeer. SIFL, Comet.
