1st half: a "condensed" version of Jack Frost (1998). One of the strangest mainstream movies of the '90s, this inexplicable family comedy stars Michael Keaton as a rock musician reincarnated into a sentient snowmam (yes, this movie actually does exist.) Whacko CGI aside, this is a wonderful thing to experience with a crowd for its audacity.
2nd half: Film critic Alonso Duralde (The Wrap) joins us for a lively Q&A about the Christmas movie genre. Alonso literally wrote the book on Xmas movies, and I'm stoked to chat it up with him onstage.

Holly’s office’s Christmas Eve party, McClane and Holly are surprised by
the arrival of criminal mastermind, Hans Gruber (played by Alan Rickman
in THE DEFINITIVE 1980’s VILLAIN
performance), and his merry band of bank robbers as they take over the
building and hold everyone hostage."
