PopaHALLics #17 Happy HALLidays!

Dad and daughter dish on pop culture over a drink - specifically, the holiday movies and music they return to again and again, as well as a few they avoid like coal in a Christmas stocking. Steve explains his soft spot for the rude, crude "Bad Santa" and - alert the media! - admits he was wrong about something's merits. Kate hopes that last Christmas was the last time she had to hear "Last Christmas" by Wham! We'll clue you in to some yuletide offerings that will help you have a holly, jolly Christmas!

We discuss:

• "Holidate" (2020)
• "The Night Before" (2015)
• "Bad Santa" (2003)
• "Love Actually" (2003)
• "Elf" (2003)
• "A Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992)
• "White Christmas" (1954)
• "Roman Holiday" (1953")
• "Christmas in Connecticut" (1945)

And holiday songs and albums, including:

• "'Zat You, Santa Claus?", Louis Armstrong
• "White Christmas," The Drifters

NOTE: We mistakenly call Danny Kaye's dancing costar in "White Christmas" Vera Lynn when her name is VERA ELLEN. Oops!
