If you’re looking for a Christmas movie that will confirm you’re belief that thier is no God, then may I suggest Silent Night Deadly Night 4: The Initiation
Lord Lotech
Fred Clause. It features Ludacris AND a cameo by Frank Stallone.
Amy Kennedy
Rescue Santa - four words: Dwayne. The Rock. Johnson.

I like to make them earn it! Lol
Deadeye Nick
Everything but a plot!

Trying to sneak a good movie in there
CarrieBoo
I need to go back for another listen! Tis the season
Nolan B.
I’m going with Christmas with the Kranks…we need a roasting of Tim Allen
Nolan B.
Jingle All the Way is one of their best releases! I’ve listened to it multiple times now.
Antonio A Barroso
A Very Corgi Christmas.
TheEthicalJerk
Mixed Nuts

There's a movie called The Nutcracker Massacre. I haven't watched it yet, but it looks awful and thought it's existence should be known.
nonnero667
Netflix’s a christmas prince
Kenneth Hannan
That's SNDN 3, if anyone else cares.
Kenneth Hannan
Any Silent Night Deadly Night sequel. Number 4 has Clint Howard, but might not be a true Christmas movie. Number 5 has Mickey Rooney making killer toys.
Susan Endres
Christmas Island
Peter Kyrouac
Batman Returns 1992. It's a Christmas movie!
Henry Arndt
Ooohhh what a hangover!
Vausch Abendroth
"here goes the children's money again!"
marissa haire
Netflix has a Christmas stripper movie called "Merry Gentlemen".
tsukiouji
That's why they need to watch it!
Vausch Abendroth
"Be normal!"
Vausch Abendroth
Christmas in New York. It's an animated Italian/north Korean collaboration and apparently The Avengers of a cinematic universe they'd been putting together since The Legend of the Titanic.
donald mahan
Santa clause, any of the movies. They’re all just.. creepy bad but in a more subtle way.
donald mahan
And a child puts out a hit on Santa. I love that awful thing
Margaret H Winnike
I don't know who told that man he was hot but he is not. 😂 I kept waiting for another snowman turned real man to show up because surely this isn't the Hot Frosty.
Snow__13
I don't think so. It has Kevin spaceve
Matt
Violent Night is a great movie
Matt
Wasn’t that the one with Elizabeth Hurley?
MoonRiver
two solid ones: -The Christmas Tree, a crappy animated TV special with one of the funniest antagonists I've ever seen -Holiday in Handcuffs, a rom-com where a lady kidnaps a man and takes him to Christmas dinner with her family. I'm serious. their meetcute is a gunpoint kidnapping.
Mark H
Winter’s Tale is made for GAM. Russel Crowe is a “faithful servant of Lucifer”
Mark H
Okay, but you have to admit that sounds awesome, right?
Snow__13
The ref! With Denise Leary
Snow__13
I was thinking about this one too
Meri
Homeless for the holidays
WelcomeToFalse
Oh, okay. Thanks. I’ll have to go through the back catalog. :D
DataAngel
If they come for you for that, they'll be after me too. I hate that movie.
DataAngel
Christmas Shoes was a fairly early episode
Ed “Short Arms” Marcus
Or how much lower Dudley Moore’s career could’ve sunk
Ed “Short Arms” Marcus
I already suggested it lol
WolfWizard
Not gonna lie, but I’m legit hoping we’ll get Miss Velma in the main show. There’s Jesus stuff in it so it’d fit the main show
WolfWizard
Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. Shitty kids movie that has Santa riding in a fire truck with a creepy rabbit. Then it suddenly becomes a film version of Thumbelina or Jack and the Beanstalk, depending on the cut (might be a good idea to do both)
WolfWizard
They did that a couple of years ago
Michael Colon
A discussion needs to be had about what the f John Lithgow is doing to that cigar.
perminal
1994's Trapped In Paradise. Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz clowning as hard as they can and it makes everything worse.
Kaleb Keefe
I humbly suggest “Winter’s Tale”. It’s a vaguely holiday themed fantasy/romance that’s beautifully shot and absolutely bat-shit! It starts in the 1920s and has a 90 YEAR time jump. Russell Crowe plays a demon gangster and Will Smith makes a cameo as the devil! There’s too much to get into here, but believe me… it’s bonkers.
CassieD
Seconded
Timothy Lehnerer
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians has a world-class shitty robot suit and an EVEN WORSE polar bear costume.
Morten Worsøe Schoubye
There’s Something In The Barn. Christmas comedy horror set in Norway using the “bumbling American family abroad” trope. Firstly, it’s awful. Secondly, Eli would get to do Norwegian accents. Thirdly, all us Scandinavian listeners would be overjoyed to hear the cast’s take on our Christmas traditions.
Martin Fried
Thanks! I'll check it out!
WelcomeToFalse
I’m sure there’s a Madea Christmas movie, but that’s probably Christian enough, for the main feed.
Michael Hardy
That is a truly godawful choice.
Douglas JM
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. 2024
Gregory F Ladle
Violent Night
TBoneSF
+1 for Christmas Shoes. For those not familiar, God gives a kid's mom cancer just so a writer will be less cynical about Christmas. For a condensed version, check out Patton Oswalt's stand-up bit animated on Youtube.
Blue Gemini
Literally anything that doesn't make me think about the election or American politics whatsoever 😭
angrymacface
“The Night They Saved Christmas”. Really bad 80s movie with Art Carney as Santa.
Rachel J Larris
If not Hot Frosty than Red One
Michael Colon
"Santa Clause: the Movie" Dear Awful God, it's pretty much a Christian movie masking as a secular movie. You can click off so many slots of the bingo card. One being the dickensian representation of the unhoused even though it takes place in the 80s. Also... John Lithgow's cigar work... wtf...
Rachel J Larris
Hot Frosty, hands down the "it" movie of the year we're all mocking.
That Black Girl
Thirded! I read a review of it and it sounds bonkers. Plus there's man candy for Eli.
Brett Cocker
Larry the Cable Guy in Jingle All the Way 2. 3.8 imdb.
G. T. Blackwell
Oh! Reindeer Games. Obviously. It's got everything: Christmas 'Splosions Dumb twists Ben Affleck Ashton Kutcher Charlize Theron...
Kristin
Please oh please on Netflix Hot Frosty or Merry Gentlemen OR Dear Santa with Jack Black that leaves so many questions and even my kids were pissed about the ending
WelcomeToFalse
I have a list. Check it twice, if you really hate yourself. The Ref, Christmas With The Kranks, Santa’s Slay, The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t, any Home Alone after the 2nd (though it does have plenty of riffing fodder), any version of Jack Frost, The Santa Clause, Christmas Shoes
Ed “Short Arms” Marcus
Santa Claus - the movie !
Chelsy Theriault
Hot Frosty!!!
I Fight Horny Patron Names
The Fat Man. The movie where Mel Gibson plays Black Ops Santa
Kain
Maybe it’s just me but 4 christmases was insufferable, family put it on after thanksgiving this year.
Peter Paugh
I found it listed in SA episode 93 from 11/2014. My feed only goes back to 5/2015 🫤
Miss Maeko
Silent Night by John Woo
Nicholas Monter
Had to look it up myself, I was like "I thought they did that...." They have been around long enough for me to forget that.
tsukiouji
Home Alone 2 was pretty good
GenmuLVLX
Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, and Christmas with the Kranks are both truly awful. Especially the former
GenmuLVLX
They covered that back when GAM was a segment on Scathing Athiest
Nicholas Monter
I forgot about Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. I thought it was more good than good-bad, but it can still be riffed.
tsukiouji
Rare Exports. An army of naked Santas running through the snow towards a village.
CarrieBoo
I already watched and forgot about Hot Frosty until this very moment....so here's another vote for that.
Kroll the Swolbold
Not Christmas, but Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights could work
Peter Paugh
I don't recall them ever doing 'Saving Christmas' and I don't see it in the episode list. It is after all the basis for the GAM cover art. For a secular choice, Christmas with the Kranks.
Venkman's Assistant
Deck The Heart. It's on Tubi and it's amazingly bad.
Vincent Jorgensen
Wait, is Lacey Chambert a xtian or does she just take any work she can get? She was a voice actor on Shimmer and Shine, which my kids adored when they were young.
Ryan Conway
-Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer -Hot Frosty -Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story -Christmas With The Kranks -Any Home Alone sequel -Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas -Miss Velma’s Christmas In America
Nicholas Monter
Die Hard 2? But a less controversial take is Santa Claus: The Movie with John Lithgow. There is also, "A Talking Cat!?" Christmas version called: Santa's Summer House.
Thais
I'll Be Home for Christmas with Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
CarrieBoo
Awesome. Memory jogged. Thx.
Peter Paugh
That was GAM Bonus episode 8
Peter Paugh
Jingle All the Way was GAM Bonus episode 42
CarrieBoo
Hot Frosty was terrible. Not even Charles Boyle and Doug Judy could save it.
CarrieBoo
Have you not done Jingle All The Way? Or go to the theaters for RedOne...someone needs to watch that movie for me.
HidariMak
Either the third or fourth 'Silent Night, Deadly Night'. It'll be the one where a mad scientist brings a psychopathic Santa back from the dead, following Santa's brains being blown out in the previous movie. Santa now does his killing spree with an up turned goldfish bowl on his head.
Kevin McGonigle
Silent night deadly night
Kevin
If it's not Hot Frosty, anything with Tim Allen.
Samuel Machi
Christmas in the Spotlight. It's a dramatization of Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce if Swift had no personal flaws and Kelce was Rob Gronkowski and a WR.
Michael Hardy
Hundreds of Beavers. Not Christmas-specific but winter. It’s also not bad, it’s genius. But it is deeply weird.
Justin S.
I want to see this one done just so I can hear the gang tear into Tim "My daughter told me she's an atheist so I told her there must be a God for her to not believe in and she was speechless!" Allen.
Martin Fried
Star Wars: Holiday Special!
One I'd Nick
I'm sure I have said this before but Santa Claus The Movie from the 80s is amazingly bad.
Quartermaster Jacob Thorn
Jack Frost either Michael Keaton family flick or the shitty horror flick.
Bunnywithaswitchblade
My boss's wife is producing a movie that'll be ready for you guys next year ... It's horrendous
VapeQueen
Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever. Knowing the story behind how that cat was exploited, and how the family were unrepentably ableist until they realized that it would cost them their gravy train, adds to the ambience
Robert Fischer
Worst Christmas Pageant Ever is definitely worth considering for the main feed. It tries to be A Christmas Story as done by Pureflicks and fails on both counts.
Wojciech Kaczkowski
I second this.
A.J.
A Christmas Story. I don't care that it's everyone's favorite movie, it's not good.
Khristle
Rankin Bass Christmas specials, but the more obscure ones like Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey or The Leprechauns' Christmas Gold
Tsukiwolf42
Christmas with the Kranks
Margaret H Winnike
The new Netflix movie Hot Frosty was absolutely terrible but perfect for a GAM bonus episode. It also features Lacey Chabert from Christian Mingle. 😂
The Void30
You should do Home Alone 3. I loved it as a kid and it absolutely does not hold up
Laura Lusby
Also…Christmas with the Kranks
Diana
I just saw Red One and can confirm that it is both very bad and has some real jingly keys.
Saxon Freiner- O’Quin
Hot frosty. It’s so stupid.
Joshua Talbert
Christmas with the Kranks
Laura Lusby
Elf Man!
Henry Arndt
A Christmas Tree. Unbelievably bad animated movie!
