Happy Holidays Film Buds,
With December comes the beginning of our Holiday Movie season, and we begin with Hanukkah.
Hanukkah is a beautiful holiday found in Judaism, a religious tradition and holiday under represented in film. To expand on people's understanding we decided to tackle Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights and A Rugrats Chanukah.
We also talk about our Vintage shopping, What We're Watching, and Clark Collis's new book, available for sale.
Thanks for listening y'all and Happy Hanukkah,
The Film Buds

198: Tokyo Godfathers + Rare Exports
Hey film buds,
Christmas, Hanukkah, and more are traditions that are celebrated around the world. So naturally, it makes sense that other global cinematic traditions would put their own stamp on the Holiday Season.
Our first Christmas movie from across the seas is Tokyo Godfathers, Satoshi Kon's 2003 anime from Japan. Joining in the discussion is an old friend of the show's, Austin Craver, who leant his expert anime insights to the show. Second, on the suggestion of a friend, Mark, we watch Rare Exports, a Finnish film directed by Jalmari Helander.
We hope you all are enjoying the Holiday Season and our dive into what makes a Holiday Movie. Be sure to check out last week's Hanukkah episode, and also check out Austin's show Third Impact Anime Podcast (@ti_anime on Twitter).
Happy Holidays y'all,
The Buds
