Christmas in the Spotlight

Yes, we're doing the Taylor Swift / Travis Kelce fanfic Christmas movie that aired on Lifetime this year. Obviously! Join in as we discuss pop star Christmas albums, Swift-analog Bowyn's selfless activism, a cornucopia of Swift references, and Discount Tire. Plus: How does the movie stack up against this year's slate of made for TV movies (including Netflix's Hot Frosty and Our Little Secret, and Hallmark's Swift-adjacent Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story)? Why does Bowyn make Gonzo wear a Santa suit? Are these brothers supposed to be the greatest players in football history? And, most importantly, should Bowyn or Trap's Lady Raven be our star of the year? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
