Holiday Break: Nothing Says Strip Show Like a Yule Log Cake

It’s our first holiday break episode, and instead of a Sabrina the Teenage Witch rewatch, Laura and Skye dive headfirst into the festive chaos of the Netflix holiday movie The Merry Gentlemen. This week, we trade spells for sequins as we follow a Broadway dancer who returns to her small hometown to save her parents’ struggling nightclub by launching an all-male, Christmas-themed dance revue—because of course she does.

We break down everything from questionable small-town economics and increasingly elaborate dance montages to shirtless Chad Michael Murray, aggressive garland usage, and the true meaning of “raising $30,000 by Christmas.” Along the way, we ask the important questions: how many tickets would this actually require, why is everyone shirtless immediately, and is this town legally allowed to have this many string lights?

Consider this our cozy, chaotic holiday detour—full of festive tropes, lovingly critical commentary, and just enough sincerity to get us through the season. Regular Sabrina episodes will return soon, but for now, grab some hot cocoa and join us for this very merry break.
