For the ‘last movie week’ of the year, Andy & Jenna review ‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,’ an obligatory rights-holding project that’s actually pretty good, despite what you may have heard (1:34). Then it’s the gold standard of Santa slashers (20:19), an underseen anime (35:00), a pair of documentaries about GOATed directors (38:30), and ‘The Shop Around the Corner’ (47:05). Susbcribe to Evil Sexy Hamlet to get our upcoming Robert Eggers Bonus Pod straight to your inbox!
