As a bonus holiday treat, we look at not one, but two holiday-themed shorts from famous auteurs made to promote clothing lines: Wes Anderson’s “Come Together” for H&M, and Luca Guadagnino’s “O Night Divine” for Zara. The former tells a short but sweet tale set on a train conducted by Adrien Brody, while the latter is a fully fleshed-out story set at a fancy hotel, featuring John C. Reilly as motherfreaking Santa Claus - need we say more? Also we try playing one of those “1 hour of silence occasionally broken by X” videos during the second short, and it's one of the funniest things we've ever done on either of our podcasts.
Intro music: Carols For a Cure Volume 20 - Over the Rainbow
