Dan and Brian discuss late-autumn, inter-holiday melancholy and the cinematic encapsulation of that feeling, The Nightmare Before Christmas, which turns 30 this year. Join as they dive deep on the film's genesis, immersive spooky flavor, Hot Topic revival, confusingly-structured thematic backbone, and inconsistent worldbuilding. They also discuss the broader creepy-stop-motion universe and brainstorm rapper names.
