## Resource

We've done a lot of killer Santa films, but we've never done the extremely French Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus , the precursor to Home Alone 's "kid on Christmas setting traps for bad guys" idea. Here we talk about the MINITEL, if the idea for Home Alone was stolen, and how closely this film hews to Christmas Evil (another movie we've done previously). We're also drinking Sam Adams' new winter seasonal White Winter Ale! Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus Festivus Series continues all Christmas season!
