Black X-Mas (2006)

Author: Geekscape December 22, 2017 Duration: 40:38
As a child, did you ever grab a present from under the tree on Christmas morning, shake it and think, "oh sweet, the Ninja Turtles skateboard I wanted!" only the unwrap it and find yourself staring at a year's worth of socks? We imagine that's how you're feeling as you realize we're talking the Black Christmas remake from 2006 and not the original from 1974. Hashtag sorrynotsorry bitches, because this version, also known as Black Xmas, is unfairly hated, and is actually a pretty solid mid-2000s slasher. Its creators really wanted to see how many attractive 25 year olds they could cast as sorority sisters and how much eye trauma they could cram into 90 minutes. The answer to both questions is (thankfully) A LOT. Spike the eggnog and roast those human skin gingerbread cookies extra crispy, then cozy up with us next to your favorite disembodied Midwest podcast voices on this Christmas episode of Horror Movie Night!

Ever have that feeling of standing in a video store aisle, staring at a box with wild artwork, hoping you’re about to discover a hidden gem? That’s the spirit Horror Movie Night channels every episode. Hosts Matt, Scott, and Kyle from Geekscape are your guides through the highs and lows of the genre, from forgotten oddities to beloved classics. They fully commit to the gamble, so you get the genuine excitement of a surprising find like *American Gothic* right alongside the shared misery of a baffling flop like *Terror Toons*. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on friends passionately debating a movie they just rented, capturing that specific blend of nostalgia and snark. Listening to this podcast feels like a weekly hangout where the conversation is fueled by cinematic scares and genuine laughs. You’ll hear their immediate reactions, the tangents, and the camaraderie that turns even the most disappointing film into an entertaining experience. It’s a comedy and film discussion wrapped in the worn-out VHS tape of memory, perfect for anyone who misses the ritual of picking a movie based solely on its cover.
