    Do You Even Bing? Episode 31: The "Not-Technically" Christmas Movies

    Does a movie count as a "Christmas Movie" just because there's a tree in the background while someone gets shot? This week, we’re settling the internet's favorite argument. We’re moving past the carols and looking at the high-stakes action and dark comedies that redefined the holiday season for the skeptics.

    The Breakdown:
    • Die Hard: The debate that won't die. We cover Bruce Willis vs. Macaulay Culkin’s stance, the 80s capitalism subtext, and the Alan Rickman "stunt drop" that was a little too real.
    • Gremlins: The movie so chaotic it forced the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. Plus, why a spider monkey almost replaced the puppets.
    • Trading Places: Breaking down the "Eddie Murphy Rule," the $1 bet, and how Dan Aykroyd’s "Dirty Santa" actually explained the commodities market.
    • The Long Kiss Goodnight: Why Shane Black is the king of the "Inconvenient Christmas" and Geena Davis's bathtub training.
    Is it really Christmas without a hostage situation or a Mogwai? Tune in to find out.

    If you love film analysis, comedy history, and holiday classics with a twist, this is your perfect listen!

    Do You Even Bing? Episode 30: The Christmas Movies You Need To Watch

    This week, we ditch the Hallmark vibes for the heavy hitters of the 80s and 90s. We’re breaking down the "Old Classics" that actually hold up and the movies that redefined the holidays for our generation and the wild behind-the-scenes stories you haven't heard.

    This Week’s Movie Lineup:
    • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: The $11,000 electricity bill for Clark’s lights, the "Betty Boop" connection with Aunt Bethany, and the bizarre reason the original director quit after meeting Chevy Chase.
    • Scrooged: Bill Murray at his peak. We dive into the Miles Davis cameo, the "nipple-censor" chaos on set, and why this remains a mandatory rewatch every single year.
    • Home Alone: How rich were the McCallisters? We discuss the $100k Paris trip, John Candy’s legendary $434 improv session, and the "John Hughes Universe" of neglectful parents.
    • It’s a Wonderful Life: The one old-school classic that actually holds up. We talk about Jimmy Stewart’s "regular guy" frustration and why it took us 20 years to realize this movie is a masterpiece.
    Are these the only classics you need? Tune in as we discuss all of this plus random updates from our lives.

    Episode 29: Edgy and Different Christmas Movies
    Dec 20 2025
    Do You Even Binge? Episode 29

    This week, we move away from the "milk and cookies" vibes and dive into the edgy, the weird, and the flat-out dangerous movies that claim to be Christmas films.

    We start with the German holiday demon in Krampus, where a blizzard-trapped family faces off against evil gingerbread men and a 9-foot beast. We break down the "cozy horror" of the film and share our personal trauma from the Universal Horror Nights maze.

    Then, things get even darker with the ultimate anti-holiday classic, Bad Santa. We revisit Billy Bob Thornton as the drunk, safe-cracking mall Santa, Willie, and pay tribute to the late John Ritter and Bernie Mac.

    We also take a trip to the neighborhood rent party in Friday After Next, where we discuss the legendary Money Mike and why you never leave your sandwich unattended during a robbery.

    Finally, we wrap up with Love Hard, debating whether catfishing can actually lead to holiday romance or if the "Love Actually" cue card trick has finally become creepy.

    Are these actually Christmas movies? Tune in as we discuss all of this plus random things happening in our lives.

    Episode 28: Christmas Movies - Our New Classics
    Dec 13 2025
    Do You Even Binge? Episode 28

    This week, we dive into a lineup of our new favorite Christmas movies, from chaotic holiday parties to heartwarming (and hilarious) elf adventures. We break down The Night Before, where Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anthony Mackie, and Seth Rogen spend a wild Christmas Eve in New York City hunting for the ultimate holiday party. Expect awkward encounters, outrageous antics, and Seth Rogen tripping through a night full of traditions, ex-girlfriends, and unexpected surprises.

    Then, we crash Office Christmas Party, Kate McKinnon chaos included, and take a trip down memory lane with Elf, Buddy’s outrageous adventures, and Bad Moms Christmas, because sometimes holiday chaos is best served with a cocktail.

    Do you own an ugly sweater? Tune in as we discuss all the wildest, funniest, and most memorable moments from these modern Christmas “classics.”

    Episode 27: Christmas Movies - A Christmas Story
    Dec 6 2025
    Do You Even Binge? Episode 27

    This week, we go all in on classic holiday consumerism and dive deep into the most iconic Christmas movie ever made: A Christmas Story (1983). We review awesome toy commercials and reminisce about the jingles and advertising that defined the holidays. Get ready to debate:
    • The science behind the "Muncha Buncha Fritos" jingle.
    • Our crazy theory that ranch dressing (and Cool Ranch Doritos) is actually responsible for making America fat!
    • Debunking the "complete breakfast" myth from classic cereal ads.
    • The nostalgia of Underoos, ISIS spinning, and Shazam!
    We also share some hilariously personal anecdotes about toys, including a custom-built Barbie Dreamhouse trauma and the disappointment of getting the Mexican version of Chutes and Ladders (Culebras y Escaleras).

    Then we settle in with Ralphie Parker to explore why A Christmas Story, the definitive movie about holiday consumerism from a kid's perspective. We break down:
    • The movie's origin in the book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash."
    • The career arc of Scott Schwartz (Flick—the frozen tongue guy!), who went from child star (The Toy, KidCo) to working the cons.
    • Analyzing the iconic scenes: the FRAGILE Leg Lamp, the snowsuit struggle, the Messy Marvin connection, and how the "Fudge" scene was filmed.
    • We even share the fun fact about the suction cup used in the frozen tongue scene!
    Another week, another binge, and a trip down memory lane that proves Scut Farkus was, in fact, the worst.

    Nov 22 2025
    Do You Even Binge? Episode 25

    Felipe and Lesa dive deep into the legacy of one of comedy's most beloved and vulnerable figures: John Candy. With the holiday season beginning, we focus on the Thanksgiving classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the HBO documentary John Candy: I Like Me.🎙️ In This Episode:
    • The I Like Me Documentary Review: We break down the Colin Hanks-directed tribute, discussing what it got right, what it missed, and whether it lived up to the emotional depth of its subject.

We also explore the wild fan theories: Is Del a guardian angel, the Devil, or is Steve Martin's character in purgatory?
    • The Vulnerability of a Comic Genius: We talk about John Candy's ability to imbue his characters, from Uncle Buck to Del, with profound sensitivity. We also reminisce about his iconic work on SCTV sketches like Lothar of the Hill People.
