This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron ring in the new year with New Year’s Eve (2011) — the bloated, celebrity-packed rom-com that treats Times Square like a narrative dumping ground. Directed by Gary Marshall and stuffed with more recognizable faces than an Oscars montage, the film juggles dozens of half-baked story lines involving dying wishes, stalled elevators, maternity ward competitions, and a fragile New Year’s Eve ball.

So grab your champagne, set your expectations low, and join Ade and Aaron as they slog through paper-thin characters, relentless exposition, and a holiday movie that somehow makes optimism feel exhausting. Because if New Year’s Eve taught us anything, it’s that stuffing a movie with stars doesn’t guarantee fireworks — sometimes it just guarantees a very long countdown.

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron sprint, tackle, and elbow their way through Jingle All the Way (1996) — the holiday madhouse where Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a mattress salesman with the physique of a Greek god, Sinbad turns it up to 11 as an unhinged postal worker, and Phil Hartman seduces a neighborhood of moms with fresh-baked cookies.

So grab your non-alcoholic eggnog, take a dose of 90’s nostalgia, and join the guys as they unpack bomb scares, mall-Santa cartels, and jet pack technology. Because if Jingle All the Way taught us anything, it’s the true meaning of Christmas — buying the right toy or your family will stop loving you.

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron unwrap Deck the Halls (2006) — the holiday comedy that tries to bottle Christmas spirit and instead dumps out seasonal misery. Matthew Broderick plays a joyless optometrist who’s obsessed with Christmas, while Danny DeVito shows up as a restless salesman who decides that turning his house into a space-visible light beacon is the key to existential fulfillment.

So grab your hot cocoa, and join the guys as they break down mustachioed stunt doubles, ice-skating duels, and a sheriff’s provocative choice of underwear. Because if Deck the Halls taught us anything, it’s that even the brightest lights can’t save a holiday movie this dim.

Watch the trailer for Deck the Halls.
