Episode 170: Deadly Games (aka Dial Code Santa Claus) (with Ashley McGlothren of Southern Haunts)
It's a Christmas miracle! We're bringing you a very special holiday themed episode about the much darker version of Home Alone. That's right, it's the cult classic Deadly Games (aka Dial Code Santa Claus aka Game Over aka Hide and Freak aka 3615 code Père Noël aka Las fantasías del pequeño Rambo) from 1989 - and yes, those are all real alternate titles. What if the Wet Bandits actually tried to murder Kevin McCallister...and they were dressed as Santa Claus the entire time? That's the premise of this weird and macabre movie. It is worth your time? We'll let you know in this jam packed episode. So spray paint your beard and hair white and throw on your red outfit as we cover everything from lessons in French economics to the absolute insane filmography of the lead actor. Plus giving your child to a stranger, Elf on the Shelf tips, and plenty more are discussed with returning guest Ashley McGlothren. Unwrap your present and listen now!
