We Wish You a Peaches X-MasMerry Christmas! Ho ho ho. For many the mere thought of the holiday season is enough to send chills down your spine.

Christmas films expose our anxieties and our desires around the pressure from both our families and society which urges us to spend, spend, spend. Whether it’s time or money, we are spending something and in the end, we feel helpless and worn out!

We love it, we hate it, it brings us joy and makes us miserable. Christmas time is here!

On today’s show San Francisco’s movie maven Peaches Christ joins us to share with us fabulous Christmas themed movies every gay man must see.

Santa is often central to many Christmas themed movies as complex symbol for good and evil and we wonder if his role is that the ultimate stalker. After all, he sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake. Why does he not have any other hobbies?

We ask what is the true meaning of Christmas anyway? Is it people, presents or is it murder and mayhem?

Join us as we talk about A Christmas Story, the Mexican Santa Claus Movie, and the evil Joan Collins fighting a murderous Santa Claus in the Tales from the Crypt video to the right. It is so campy and 70s, you’ll love it.

Also, other horror films that take place during the holidays- The Shining, Black Christmas and Jack Frost which is about a murderous snowman.

And, Marc’s favorite movies for the Christmas season which feature women having strange babies or the mysterious pregnancies such as in The Omen, Rosemary’s Baby, or the video trailer to the right which features Barbara Eden as a woman who is about to give birth to a baby alien. If anyone has a video of The Stranger With In, we’d love to borrow it.

Merry Christmas and please survive the holidays-don’t drink and drive.
