Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Feasts of Film is giving you the best gift of all this Holiday season with new episodes just for Christmas! Cole, Joshua, and Chandler all get together to share laughs, jolly good fun, and duke it out in intellectual arguments to see which movies actually qualify as Christmas movies and which ones are just movies with a little Christmas sprinkled in. That's right it's time to look at some Controversial Christmas Movies!
We are having a special dinner for this fine feast, An exotic cuisine from distant lands, an unusually tasty dish called Gremlins! We will be dining without Randy this week as he was unable to make it but it will still be a very special feast!
When Billy's Father brings him a strange pet named Gizmo as an early Christmas present he is delighted. But with this pet comes some rules; Don't let it get in the sunlight, don't get it wet, and most importantly do not feed it after Midnight! Billy finds that breaking these rules can have dire consequences! Getting them wet creates numerous offspring, putting them in Sunlight kills them, and feeding them after Midnight turns them into gruesome, monstrous creatures. It is now up to Billy and Gizmo to save the town and stop the menace of the Gremlins!
For our arguments each debater will have opening and closing arguments and will argue their side with three points. With only have three minutes for each point our debaters must make the most of each moment! Once the closing arguments have been made the judge for this week, Colton, will give out the verdict on Gremlins. After the debate we will share our favorite moments from the movie and calculate our final score for the film.
We hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to our last Controversial Christmas Movie we will be covering next week!
