Episode #2 - Klaus and Last Christmas - a podcast by For Now We See

from 2019-12-21T13:00

:: ::

Our second ever episode is a Christmas special. Nothing if not ambitious, right?

In the news, we talk about December's big trailers, and peek ahead to Christmas TV.

Then, we ask "what makes a Christmas movie?" and how should Christians feel about them, before reviewing Netflix's new original Klaus and holiday rom-com Last Christmas (the Wikipedia plot synopsis of which was enough to make one of us well up).

Along the way, we discuss Christmas dinner at George's house, and ruin the Santa myth for both young and old as we discover that St Nicholas did not in fact punch a heretic in the face.

NOTE: we're sorry about some problems with Rhys' mic - it drops out at points. We have amplified it where possible, though this makes the audio a bit uneven sometimes. This is a problem that didn't come up in our audio test - we think it was a connection that came loose whilst recording. We will fix for next time!
