Show notes
Tune in as Dustin Holden (Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap) visits the show for a discussion on Klaus, the 2019 Netflix Christmas movie starring Jason Schwartzman and J.K. Simmons in a Santa Claus origin story that’s set in 19th-century Norway. Similarities between Klaus and The Nightmare Before Christmas, themes of selfishness and selflessness, bringing back hand-drawn animation in the modern age, and Klaus’s horror movie beats are just a few of the subjects that Arthur and Dustin touch on here.
Written and directed by Sergio Pablos (Despicable Me), Klaus stars Jason Schwartzman, J.K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, Joan Cusack, Will Sasso, Norm Macdonald, Neda Margrethe Labba, and Sergio Pablos.
