We talk about our own history with Santa Claus in our own lives
How do we reconcile a protagonist that kidnaps his own child
Is Tim Allen even bothering to act in this one?
Someone reveals their first celebrity crush
We talk about stepparent representation in family films
We give our own BFE analysis of the U.S. Presidential Election
