Happy Holidays! The second of our "Christmas-Adjacent" films moves us into the 21st century for an all-star team-up! Directed by Shane Black, 2005's "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" tells the the story of small-time criminal Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) who, when fleeing from the police after a botched burglary, runs into an audition for a Hollywood film. Cut to Los Angeles, Harry has been flown out by agent Darby Shaw (Larry Miller) to audition for a detective film. At an L.A. party, he meets power-broker Harlan Dexter (Corbin Bernsen) and local private detective "Gay Perry" (Val Kilmer). He also stumbles on his childhood crush, Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), and they together stumble onto a murder mystery that gets everyone involved injured, chased, and threatened! Only Harry's love for Harmony and his sheer stubbornness allows them to survive the convoluted and nigh-unbelievable story! Plus, the trio discuss which two Jodie Foster films they're reviewing for their next pairing (one suggested by Chad's wife)!

Happy Holidays! This year, for the December festivities, we're focusing on two films we call "Christmas-Adjacent," meaning that, while they're not technically "christmas movies," they are movies that take place around Christmas. First up is a favorite of Geek Jeff's wife, 1996's "The Long Kiss Goodnight!" Directed by Renny Harlin, and written by the director of the 2nd film in the pairing, Shane Black, the film follows suburban mom Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) who, some eight years before, "woke up" with no memory of her past and slowly built a new life for herself with her daughter Caitlin (Yvonne Zima) and her boyfriend Hal (Tom Amandes). One of the private detective she had hired in the past to try to find her original identity, Mitch Hennessey (Samuel L. Jackson) turns up some new information and the two set off on a bizarre trip where, along the way, Samantha remembers her old identity: An assassin named Charlie Baltimore, who worked for the U.S. Government, and said government isn't happy she's resurfaced! This is the film Samuel L. Jackson claims as his favorite of all the movies he's done in his career, and it's a great story that features a truly badass female protagonist! Also starring Brian Cox, Craig Bierko, Patrick Malahide, and David Morse.

The second film in our pairing based on the works of Alan Moore moves ahead, in real-life, four years, but moves back, in the film, to the 1980s of an alternate history of the United States of America. In this version, masked crusaders have been a part of American life since the middle of the 20th century, and inevitably some of the heroes band together to form a group known as "The Watchmen." The film follows the members of the second version of the team, after the U.S. Government has passed the Keane Act, which outlawed masked superheroes. Directed by Zack Snyder, the film introduced us to Rorschach (Jackie Earl Haley), a sociopathic crusader who sees the world in black and white who, after the death of Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who the public knew as The Comedian, come to believe that there is a plot afoot to kill "masks," and he goes to warn all of his former teammates. He first visits his former partner Dan Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) who fought crime as the second Night Owl, then traveling to a government facility to warn Laurie Jupiter (Malin Akerman) who had been known as Ms. Jupiter, and her significant other Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup). Dan goes to visit Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) who is the sole member of the Watchmen to reveal his true identity to the public instead of staying behind the persona of Ozymandias, and pass along Rorschach's warning. As the story unfolds, we see the truth of a world with heroes, how they quickly become hated, jaded, and corrupted, and how their mindsets quickly become altered when compared to what would be considered "normal" in the modern world. Also starring Matt Frewer, Stephen McHattie, Laura Mennell, Rob LaBelle, and Robert Wisden. Plus, the trio reveal which two "Christmas-Adjacent" films make up this year's holiday pairing!

This short episode focuses solely on the ending to 2009's "Watchmen" film, and the ending of the graphic novel, and discusses the difference between the two, and the geeks and git disagree on whether the cinematic ending works or not versus the print ending!
