419: Act Like Normal Children! (Nutcrackers)

This week on "Tis the Podcast", the elves dive into the 2024 Hulu original film "Nutcrackers." When Ben Stiller's character is called to handle his recently deceased sister's affairs, he discovers her children living in a state of chaos on their rural Ohio farm. As this uptight city dweller grapples with his newfound responsibility to his feral nephews, will the spirit of Christmas - and a reimagined version of "The Nutcracker" - help him discover what family truly means? Join Anthony, Julia, and Thom as they discuss this unique holiday tale, debate Ben Stiller's performance, and explore whether this film earns its emotional payoff. Plus, hear their thoughts on rural internet connections, the magic of dance, and what makes a Christmas movie truly feel "Christmassy."
