For this weekend: Is there a holiday movie that you think really deserves riffing? My pick: The 1973 remake of “Miracle on 34th Street” with David Hartman and Sebastian Cabot. Bleah.
What’s your pick?

Yeah, the real winner would have to be ‘Santa Claus: The Movie’. When an eight year old knows she’s watching a bad movie, you may well give up. I’d also like to nominate ‘Jingle All The Way’ on general principle.
‘You’d Better Watch Out’ (aka ‘Christmas Evil’) isn’t too bad, but it’s so depressing that I bet we could get some nice dark riffing from the guys.
Hey, I liked ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’! :oops:
I’m visiting family in Oklahoma and one of the local TV stations had a countdown of the best christmas movies (with actually showing them) and they choose Die Hard as number one.
Okay, perhaps no one will ever read this, but I just saw a 1987 Christmas cartoon on YouTube that MUST be mentioned in this thread:
“Candy Claus”
Possibly the biggest mess of a cartoon I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure what went wrong in which stages of production, but it packs more plot-holes and unexplainable phenomena into 25 minutes than ‘Monster A-Go-Go’ and every Coleman Francis film put together. That clip of ‘Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny’ seems perfectly logical and coherent by comparison. Never released on home video to my knowledge, so it’s probably in some sort of legal limbo, but if CT could make their case to the rights holders, they could use it to make 2009’s Christmas our merriest ever.
Well, if they paired it with some other PD holiday shorts, that is.
I love this song its so awesome!
While SatAM was short lived, it is perhaps considered to be not only the best Sonic Cartoon, but a good cartoon all together for many to watch. The story of the plot is Sonic is a part of a group called the freedom fighters as they are trying to make their homeworld green again while saving it from the evil clutches of Dr. Robotnik and his polluted robot empire. This series is not only a good value, but a must have for avid collectors.
