Offbeat Holiday Films Month continues this week with Carry-On, the newly released airport thriller starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman. This Netflix thrill ride is definitely one to watch this holiday season.
In this week’s episode, we take a break from holiday films and dive back into our Rewatch and Reconsider series with a quiet and lovely little story from 2009: City Island.
This week, Offbeat Holiday Film Month continues with 2020’s Happiest Season from writer/director Clea Duvall. This modern meet-the-family rom-com is full of the usual Christmas film tropes, but puts a unique spin on them through smart writing and great performances.
It’s December, which means a lot of holiday programming. This month, we’re discussing Offbeat Holiday Films that are just a little left of the usual classic fare, starting with Shane Black’s Christmas-adjacent noir comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from 2005.
