Christmas movies! Christmas stories! Santa Claus! Cartoons! And Jack Lemon! All the things you want in a Xmas podcast. First, I read my original tale THE GREAT BIG SANTA STORY (for your kids, it's downloadable here: https://tinyurl.com/Santa1st10Pgs⁠⁠ ) -- it's fun and has homages to A Nightmare Before Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty, & more! Then I offer a super-unusual list of Xmas movie recommendations.

The First 10 Pages Theme: by Edison Carter.

Christmas movie time! If Ralphie shoots Scutt Farkus's eye out, will the other one still be yellow? It's a wild script read! (Well the 1st 10 pages anyway...) And the script analysis and film critique goes in a direction you won't expect! Come for my impression of the Narrator (Jean Shepherd), stay for the unusually descriptive screenplay. P.S. And a special thx to France.....

OK, screenwriters, for some Halloween horror, come to The Sunken Place with me -- Hollywood! And let's discuss why filmmaker Jordan Peele's GET OUT just might have a perfect script... but, oh man, did it go over some bumps along its way to becoming one of the great modern horror movies! ALSO: The script read made me cry! Take a listen to find out if I was laughing so hard I cried or if I choked on some Halloween candy. THEME MUSIC by: Edison Carter
