It’s that time of year again, holiday season! Which holiday? If you’re talking about Meet Me in St. Louis, all of them I guess, but specifically Christmas.
The classic Judy Garland musical has joined the ranks of Die Hard 1 & 2, Batman Returns and Gremlins amidst our file of festive films, and this show is dedicated to it. First time Movie of the Month champion Amanda Kirkham hosted the discussion alongside Jay, Richard and Rebecca, to talk about ketchup-making, trolley-riding and flour-throwing, amongst others.
Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week, and a far less depressing game than last week!
