Jingle All The Way

Put that cookie down—NOW! This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Jimmy Murphy and Ryan Etherington tackle the chaotic holiday madness of Jingle All the Way (1996). Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a desperate dad on a frenzied quest to secure a Turbo-Man action figure, this festive comedy is as ridiculous as it is nostalgic. But fair warning: Jimmy hates it, and he’s not holding back.

While Ryan valiantly defends the film’s so-bad-it’s-good charm, Jimmy dives into why this yuletide fever dream drives him up the Christmas tree. From its over-the-top antics to Sinbad’s manic postman energy, the duo explores whether Jingle All the Way is a holiday classic or just coal in cinematic form.

Whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, this episode is stuffed with more laughs than a stocking full of Turbo-Man merch. So strap in, avoid the mall crowds, and tune in—it’s the Christmas chaos you didn’t know you needed!
