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, Chandler and newcomer on the podcast Randy 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!
For our last Feast of the season Colton and Chandler will be taking each other on to find out if The Nightmare Before Christmas is actually a Christmas movie or just a Halloween trick!
Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town but when he feels discontent. He wants something new, a fresh challenges and ideas to give him excitement again! He finds just that when he comes across a mysterious door that leads him into Christmas Town. With these new wonders before his eyes he gets all kinds of new ideas to inspire him to make changes to his own Halloween Town. He even kidnaps Santa himself and dons his own persona of the jolly character. But the evil Oogey Boogey has other plans for Santa and Jack. Will he be able to save Santa or is Christmas ruined for everyone?
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 judges for this week Joshua and Randy, will give out the verdict on The Nightmare Before Christmas. After the debate we will share our favorite moments from the movie and calculate our final score for the film.
We hope you enjoyed these Christmas Controversies Episodes and Join us next week for one last podcast of the year, that will be a more traditional Feasts of Film episode!
