So, any guesses for what the new Christmas episode may be?
I think it’s fascinating that they’re saying all three hosts of the season will do this new holiday episode.
Personally I’d love them to do something from 1989 or earlier. There’s a ton of bad, modern Christmas films but I love when they find and use something that’s off the radar.
I’ve found some great options in foreign films, but haven’t found an English dubbed version unfortunately.
Santa Claus: The Movie- this could be an option but honestly, I’m sure there are licensing and Rights issues that prevent it.
The Christmas Martian – this movie is a trainwreck and could be an option. As it’s only 60 minutes, this would be perfect with a holiday themed PSA/ short. This would probably be my highest hope.
Here Comes Santa Claus (aka I believe in Santa Claus)- again, a possibility, but who knows about the rights.
Santa’s Christmas Circus (with whizzo the clown) – this one would probably be hard and God knows what the rights are like.
There’s certainly some TV Movies that could work, and I do have a feeling that one of those titles may be a real contender for season 13, but I do have a personal bias as I prefer the more “cinematic” Christmas films released in theaters.
