The holidays are over and hopefully we all survived. We went deeper than should be expected on Christmas Vacation. We as the question, "Who is National Lampoon?" We talk about family gatherings, action figures, and 8mm porno. We talk about how ubiquitous racist depictions of AAPI are in holiday movies an how happy we are that this didn't have them... then we read the source material... frowny face... We take on squatters rights and bring the legislature of our home state to task for having extremely draconian laws about breastfeeding in public. We ask Alexa questions about human anatomy that she is not prepared to answer. We also have 2 surprises, a present for Jenny, and the opportunity to let fate decide our next film.

Join us as we go back to the very beginning of this podcast. We go into the genre that we were aware of, but was completely banished from our homes as children. Double whammy, this one also has Madonna who was also not allowed in our homes growing up. We saw the movie Body of Evidence, or should it be called Body the Murder Weapon. Guys, this is a court procedural about a woman literally being accused of murdering a rich older man through sex. This was not a good movie, but we had such a great time.
