Violent Night (2022)

Aughtsterion

It is the week of Christmas, and as both a pro-horror and pro-holiday podcast, Aughtsterion has convened to celebrate a new double-genre classic. Sam and Jordan liked the new movie Violent Night so much that they had to record a Seasons Greetings episode about it. From Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola and the up and coming action factory 87North (springing from the virtuoso stunt collective 87eleven), Violent Night is about is Santa was a jaded drunk despondent over the global diminishing of Christmas spirit among kids. Which of course means the only way he can rekindle those Christmas fires within is to protect one small pure-hearted girl whose family is being sieged by terrorists on Xmas Eve. It's bloody. It's sentimental. It's Beverly D'Angelo saying obscene things. This movie is Aughts approved, and best of all, it even includes a tease of Sam's new original holiday music that you can have if you donate any amount of money to AIDS/LifeCycle. It's the annual charity drive, so get to giving! Hit the link and go!
