## Resource

Odds and Ends: Christmas wishes and new year's resolutions; Nick talks about the newest Lanthimos picture, Bugonia; we talk about some unsung Brian Yuzna classics, shoutout the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and try to understand Ben Shapiro's high-IQ review of One Battle After Another Feature Film: From the director of A Christmas Story and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, Black Christmas! One of the earliest examples of what would become the slasher genre, we fawn over the brilliance of this movie, and how it works as a cozy winter Christmas movie at the same time as being a terrifying horror movie. Next week's movie: Black Christmas (2006) and Black Christmas (2019) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!
