MIFV MAX #26: Christmas Special – ‘Jingle All the Way’ | Ft. Brendan Morley (abridged)

The Monster Island Film Vault

Merry Christmas, Kaiju Lovers (and Autistic Lizard Productions viewers)! In this excerpt from the Patreon-exclusive livestream series, Nathan is joined by Brendan Morley of Autistic Lizard Productions to discuss a (barely) toku-adjacent Christmas movie, Jingle All Way (1996), which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, and Phil Hartman, among others. Perhaps Nathan just needed an excuse to use his Arnie impersonation on mic, but this is one of his holiday movie guilty pleasures. Despite being critically panned, it has become a Christmas classic. The fictional Turbo Man, whose action figure (not “doll”!) is the hottest Christmas toy in the movie, and his sidekick, the pink saber-cat Booster, and archnemesis, Dementor, are what barely qualifies this for discussion on the podcast. Nathan and Brendan give some background and trivia on the movie and discuss their favorite jokes and scenes. “It’s Turbo Time!”
