Bob & Mark

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

This time the boys are off to the unofficial home of Santa Claus -- Finland -- and boy, what a Santa! He's not exactly your jolly old fat man. Take that Coca-Cola! Bob and Mark venture into that unique festive niche, the holiday horror film, and discuss the film Rare Exports. They also discover one of the hidden secrets of Finland (at least for them) -- Finnish heavy metal music! Plus, the awesome holiday tune "Tulkoon Joulu". They really enjoy all the goat imagery and customs, and they can't wait to go begging for alcohol from their neighbors. We will be starting a GoFundMe page for their bail. Sit back and enjoy a Christmas experience above the Arctic Circle.
