Merry Christmas, everyone! And, welcome to the Discerning Geeks Portal's first Christmas movie review since 2021! This week, we are reviewing the 1989 Christmas classic, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
- How many National Lampoon's vacation movies are there, and did everyone know that number?
- Which Geek said his review of this movie could pretty much be a rerun of his review for another comedy the Geeks examined in a recent episode?
- Which Geek was the first to praise John Hughes for his filmography and style of storytelling?
- What were the various opinions about the character of cousin Eddie?
- What were the various opinions about the style of humor in the movie, including the Christmas light issues, the sh***er jokes, the jelly-of-the-month surprise, the cat incident, etc.?
- Which Geeks had memories of Christmas stunts and lost lasagnas to share?
- What Geek felt the movie was like a live-action cartoon, and did he mean that in a good way or a bad way?
- Which Geek had turkey cooking advice?
- Which Geek felt like mindset might factor in to the likability of the movie?
- Which annoying Christmas song is sung in the shower every morning during the Christmas season by the relative of two of the Geeks?
- And, which Geek had to make slight adjustments to a lot of his lower-grade movies in his spreadsheet in order to get this movie and a few forthcoming movies into a more proper ranking (the spreadsheet part should be huge hint)?
Listen now for the answers to these and other festive holiday questions as the Geeks shine too many lights on..."National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
