Robert, Nat, and Cody are joined by returning guests Angela Fabbrini of Where the Long Tail Ends and Jim Laczkowski of as we throw our seventh annual Secret Santa party. Who gave what to whom is the mystery of the episode as we take turns discussing five movies especially chosen for their recipients by their secret Santas. This episode is apparently sponsored by TUBI as several films can be found there. The films this year include THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW (1956), THE GREEN RAY (1985), VAMPIRE'S KISS (1989), DEF BY TEMPTATION (1990), and BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE) (2014).
