Tune in for the third episode of 2 Cents Critic Merry Month, where the show is covering holiday media throughout December! This week, Mama D (Petals of Support) joins the podcast to discuss National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the 1989 Christmas movie that’s full of Italian twinkle lights, vexed neighbors, and Clark Griswold’s psychopathic tendencies. Talking points for this episode include the one part of this movie that makes Arthur physically cringe, Chevy Chase being a charismatic star onscreen despite his real-life assholery, and the challenges that parents undergo to make Christmas as smooth as possible for their families.Directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, Christmas Vacation stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, John Randolph, Diane Ladd, E.G. Marshall, Doris Roberts, Randy Quaid, Miriam Flynn, Cody Burger, Ellen Hamilton Latzen, William Hickey, Mae Questel, Sam McMurray, Nicholas Guest, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Nicolette Scorsese, Brian Doyle-Murray, Natalija Nogulich, Keith MacKechnie, and Alexander Folk.Spoilers start at Here’s how you can learn more about Palestine and Israel: http://decolonizepalestine.comHere’s how you can act to help stop Israel’s genocide of Palestine: http://linktr.ee/savegazaHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected online: https://www.gazaesims.comGood Word:• Mama D: FX’s What We Do in the Shadows• Arthur: DriveBe sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter and Instagram: @two_centscriticFollow Arthur on Goodreads:https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/144101970-arthur-howellReach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arthur746/message
