In Defense of Christmas with the Kranks

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from In Defense of: A Movie Podcast! On this cheer-fueled special episode, we tackle 2004's Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis! Based on the John Grisham novel, 'Stealing Christmas', and sitting on Rotten Tomatoes at 5%, with an Audience score of 39%, this holiday classic is as divisive as it is interesting. On this episode, we go deep, examining the cultural relevancy of the film, explore the timeline and logistics, and unpack the deplorable behavior of Luther Krank! Is there anything worth defending in this bizarre film? You bet there is, but you may have to stick around a while to find out! So, curl up with a cup of Hot Chocolate for this extra long episode, and let the good times roll!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and yours!
