Author: MaximumFun.org December 17, 2021 Duration: 1:08:36

Since we’re smack dab in the middle of the Christmas season, it’s time to get cozy, hang out with friends, and watch some Christmas movies. Which is exactly what we’re doing! We have our old pal on the show, comedian and writer for Troubled Waters, Riley Silverman. And she’s joining us to talk about the new queer Christmas movie, ‘Single All the Way.’ Plus, we have an important update on the upcoming Céline Dion-inspired film, ‘Aline.’ We answer a call on the ‘Hotline’ about non-Christmas movies we watch every year. We’ve got another installment of the ‘Christmas Movie Minute.’ And, as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’

In news, Drea Clark hangs out with Nicolas Cage and Mike Leigh can’t even get funding from Netflix.
