Thanksgiving Movies
A Lifetime of Happiness: Movies, TV, and Video Games
11/24/20 • 46 min
The Steves celebrate Thanksgiving by discussing three of their favorite Thanksgiving movies, while discussing other songs and shows along the way!
What's Making Us Happy? Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is everything both Steves had hoped for, while Steve is psyched the Suncoast Senior CARE Awards and all of his hard work paying off beautifully!
Binge and Purge: HBO Max has been keeping us busy with Haute Dog, featuring Steve's newest crush, Matth Rogers, as well as Stephen's, Robin Theedy, and Legendary, a ballroom competition that we rate 10s across the board! Meanwhile, Steve binged The Circle, a social media competition on Netflix, and is glad he is married and doesn't have to worry about catfish and found it enjoyable.
Thanksgiving Songs- Shout outs to Crazy Ex-Girlfriends "I Give Good Parent" as Steve's favorite Thanksgiving song, with Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song and Turkey Lurkey honorable mentions from Stephen.
Thanksgiving Televsion- Buffy's Pangs ages better than you would think, considering it's about a Native American Warrior Spirit who is only sad that Caucasian's raped and murdered all their people but Buffy and the gang still have to kill it! Meanwhile, Gossip Girl's Thanksgiving episodes are still as scandelous as ever and has Stephen psyched for the remake.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving- The Steves discuss this 1973 Emmy-winning special, filled with tons of fun facts from Stephen's time working for Scripts, the company that owns The Peanuts, while also discussing some of their family traditions along the way.
Son-in-Law- Stephen pops Steve's Pauly Shore cherry with this 1993 comedy, Son-in-Law, A 'fish out of water' story where Pauly Shore is a wild California who finds himself falling for a country girl, Carla Gugino, and her family. This also happens to be the first lesbian kiss Stephen ever saw!
Thankskilling- Earning our first explicit rating, we discuss the 2008 beautiful garbage dump of a movie, Thankskilling! One of the cheapest and most offensive movies we've seen in recent years, it circles it's way all the way back around to amazing and delightful. Not for the faint of heart, Turkie is raised from the dead by a Native American Necromancy after the first Thanksgiving to kill all the Caucasian's he can find every 505 years, and he does so in some of the most ridiculously graphic ways one might expect from a 14 inch tall fake turkey.
