Welcome to News You Need to Know with Shawn Bolz! Merry Christmas! Today, we dive into some shocking releases this holiday season, including two highly controversial films—one starring Jack Black as a boy's new best friend (Satan) and an animated Netflix Christmas movie for kids that mocks the nativity and even jokes about aborting baby Jesus. What is happening?!   But it's not all bad news. Amid the noise, there are incredible redemptive themes and moments in entertainment this season—some directly pointing to Jesus, others indirectly carrying hope, faith, and love.   We'll explore how to navigate the good and the bad in entertainment without losing the true spirit of Christmas. Plus, we'll highlight where Jesus is showing up in unexpected places this holiday season.   Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that will help you engage culture with faith and hope this Christmas!

Red One is a big budget Christmas action film with an array of stars to make it shine; it is also a mindless hunk of studio schlock. In it, Santa Claus has been kidnapped by a malevolent holiday witch. It is up to the Rock's Callum Drift (yes, that is his name) to get him back in time for the big day. What follows is a paint-by-numbers blockbuster that is crammed with enough CGI and bad one-liners to rip the seams of even the largest stocking. This thing is a jingle bell mess from start to finish. Hence why it sits at 30% on Rotten Tomatoes and was given a lump of coal at the box office. Red One couldn't even muster enough holiday cheer to break even with its asinine $250 million budget. Now, sit back, get into the spirit with a glass of Evan Williams' Bourbon-infused Eggnog, and rip off some snowmen noses! The Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are hacking into Santa's secret lair to blow the whistle on his elf sweatshop!

If you were to turn on your TV right now, or open up Netflix, the chances of you stumbling upon a cheesy Christmas movie would be pretty high. They tend to be full of clichés, cringeworthy one-liners and predictable plots, but still we just can't seem to get enough.  Let's take a moment to delve into the psychology behind Christmas movies, and how they got to be so successful. Mormon director George Albert Smith released the first Christmas film : a short silent drama called Santa Claus, in 1898, which showed Santa visiting a house on Christmas eve. Moving into the 20th century, the history of Christmas movies reflects the story of Hollywood itself. In the US, they really became a genre, or even tradition, in their own right. The first wave came in the 1990s. Who made the first Christmas film? If they're repetitive and predictable, how come we keep coming back for more? What are the key ingredients for a good Christmas film then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

There is something totally unique about Christmas movies. They sparkle. They twinkle. They warm our hearts like a cup of hot cocoa. Why is that, and how does it feel to be a part of creating something like that? This week on Talking A Christmas Story With the Cast, host Yano Anaya (Grover Dill from A Christmas Story) interviews Hallmark movie star and real-life Prince Charming Jonathan Stoddard (A Royal Christmas On Ice, Prince and Pauper Christmas) , on the joy that comes from holiday traditions, and how it feels to be a part of that for families all over the world. SummaryThe conversation revolves around the Christmas movie A Christmas Story and its impact on the cast and fans. The host interviews Jonathan Stoddard, an actor known for his roles in Christmas movies, about his experience with the film and his career. They discuss the nostalgia and traditions associated with watching A Christmas Story, the energy and vibe of Christmas movies, and the challenges and joys of being an actor. They also touch on the sequel to A Christmas Story and the emotional connection fans have with the original film. The conversation with Jonathan Stoddard, an actor from the movie A Christmas Story, explores his experience as a child actor and his journey in the industry. He shares the challenges of auditions and the excitement of landing the role of Grover Dill. He also discusses his other acting experiences and the importance of storytelling. The conversation then transitions into a game where Stoddard imagines how his character, Prince John, from another movie would react in various situations from A Christmas Story. The episode concludes with a discussion about the enduring popularity of A Christmas Story and the importance of traditions. Takeaways A Christmas Story holds a special place in the hearts of many families and has become a beloved holiday tradition. Christmas movies have a unique energy and vibe that brings joy and comfort to viewers. Being an actor in Christmas movies comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. The sequel to A Christmas Story was highly anticipated and brought back nostalgic memories for fans. The emotional connection fans have with the original film is a testament to its enduring impact. Being a child actor in the past was challenging without digital auditions and GPS navigation. The journey of landing a role involves multiple auditions and callbacks. Acting is a rewarding and emotionally driven career that requires relationship building. A Christmas Story holds a special place in people's traditions and continues to resonate with audiences. Sound Bites "You were the first OG." "It's Disney people. It's Disney problems." "You were some of the first quotes that I remember saying as a kid." "You're always in the room. Like you never do a digital audition." "This is a waste of time. Look at how many kids are here. This is crazy." "We're acting whether we're on the camera or not."
