12 Days of Christmas: The Thin Man
Our annual 12 Days of Christmas series returns! Will McKinley joins us to kick things off with The Thin Man . Much of this 1934 classic is set during Christmastime, and we're treated to William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles.

12 Days of Christmas: We're No Angels (1955)
In We're No Angels , Humphrey Bogart leads a stellar cast about a jail break that takes place just before Christmas on Devil's Island.

Thank you for joining us on this holiday sojourn!
12 Days of Christmas: Fitzwilly
Fitzwilly is a 1967 film starring Dick Van Dyke and Barbara Feldon. It's about a scheming butler whose motives are akin to Robin Hood, and the movie is set during the Christmas-to-New Years period, so we figured, why not? Will McKinley joins us to talk about this oft-overlooked film.

The three sons of an old woman must return home by Christmas Eve in order to save her finances. Ashley, Matt and Will talk about 1947's Christmas Eve , in our penultimate 12 Days of Christmas episode.
12 Days of Christmas: Bachelor Mother
A screwball comedy, set between Christmas and New Years, where a woman (Ginger Rogers) finds a baby on the steps of an adoption home, and everyone believes her to be the mother. David Niven stars as the somewhat oblivious potential love interest. Will McKinley joins us to talk about 1939's Bachelor Mother in the first of our sixth annual 12 Days of Christmas series!
