Ever found yourself in a heated debate about the best Christmas movie of all time? Well, we feel you. We too got together for a festive edition of Rusted Junk, the 80s Movies Podcast, and ended up comparing our favourite holiday films like "Home Alone" and "Die Hard" to the Christmas film, "A Christmas Story". Listen in as we share our personal experiences, memories, and differing opinions about this beloved film, along with the laughs about our own childhood Christmas wishes and clothing struggles.
But it's not all about Christmas movies. Our lively conversation took several fascinating detours. We found ourselves discussing the cultural differences between buying drinks in the US and the UK, and between American and British Christmas traditions. We also tackled some uncomfortable topics like the use of swear words, the influence of pharmaceutical companies on doctors, and even the use of shock collars for dogs. We wager you'll find these cultural insights just as entertaining as our movie banter.
Oh, and brace yourselves for some unexpected fun facts about kangaroos and their famous boxing abilities. Our chat wasn't all serious, and we ended up talking about the intriguing idea of a kangaroo-sheep hybrid and the potential for a woolly kangaroo(!)
All this, plus a cliff-hanger ending that teases the start of season eight, makes this an episode you can’t afford to miss. Trust us, by the end of it, you’ll be just as excited as us for the next Season of Rusted Junk!
