We’re gonna show you a movie you can’t refuse. The boys are off to Italia -- Bob’s ancestral homeland – for a magnifica celebration of amore, famiglia, and Natale. And don’t worry, it’s not personal, it’s business. We review the Italian holiday film Una famiglia perfetta from 2012. But first, we listen to Bob try to pronounce the Italian words without mistake, so he doesn’t end up sleeping with the fishes. This is a thoughtful comedy that asks the question of what it means to be a family, because, as we know, a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man. And don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family. Ever.
This film also examines the delicate fragility of marriage. While it can be a bit emotional, you act like a man. What is the matter with you? Is this how you turn out, a Hollywood finocchio that cries like a woman? While thoroughly enjoyable, this film has equal parts charm and anxiety, and a few comic twists that we don’t want to share. What are you worried about? If we wanted to tell you, you’d know already. We go the mattresses and weigh in on the cultural battle of panettone versus pandoro – dishes that taste best when served cold. We also discuss La Befana, the Christmas witch and enjoy a festive song that is an ode to, of all things, ginger, which the lyrics describe as “the true fulcrum of Christmas, not the crib, not the Baby Jesus, but ginger.” And when we’re done, leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
