Hot Frosty - The Hottest Movie of 2024!

Kathryn Benson, Shirleon Sharron, Season 1 Episode 215

PARTY PLEASER:

Shirleon, Kathryn, and Melvin summarize Winter-2024's most discussed film... Hot Frosty! Excited for some seasonal silliness? They've got you covered, along with some fun commentary as well! Tune in now!

Topics:

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 25-minutes of Kathryn and Shirleon figuring out which review-blurb from RottenTomatoes goes to which poorly rated Sony Spider-Man(less) Universe film; Morbius, Madame Web, or Kraven the Hunter! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • Hot Frosty is clearly evoking some Hallmark motifs – Lacey Chabert notwithstanding – so how does it compare to the standard visual profile of a Hallmark feature?
  • Craig Robinson can be fun, but his police-officer character was more irritating than enjoyable, save for one or two jokes.
  • Hot Frosty gender-swaps the “Born Beautiful Yesterday” trope that so many films have explored (and is closely related to the “Fish Out of Water” trope). How does the gang feel about this?
  • Can a man be kind without the magic of Christmas?
