Bad Santa

In 2003, Terry Zwigoff sought to bring a dark spin to the holidays with his black comedy Christmas story, Bad Santa. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Lauren Graham, John Ritter, and Bernie Mac, Bad Santa follows Willie, a mall Santa with a brutal alcohol and sex addiction, and his partner Marcus, his Elf helper, and this dynamic duo rob whichever mall they’re working at on Christmas eve. However, as Santa’s drinking and fucking spiral out of control, he also meets an unlikely friend who has a surprising effect on him that challenges Willie’s and Marcus’ Christmas plans. Made for $23 million, Bad Santa brought home $76 million and became a cantankerous Christmas favourite for many. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss plus size women and fixing sandwiches as we determine if this belongs on the naughty, the nice, or the so naughty its nice list.
