After almost five years, I've decided to end this Podcast, but more on that in the ep. This month we go looking for a new Santa and revisit 'Ernest Saves Christmas'. Mark complains that Santa is too svelte, shows he does not understand screen tests, and finally gets a crush on the show; Karl confidently gets a Michael Jordan fact wrong, makes a snake mistake, and gives both St. Nick and a young girl a hard time; and Sara explains how murders work, misses a reference to the film she's reviewing, and hints that she might think reindeer are birds. Enjoy! And thank you for joining us for the past five years, it's been a blast.
