We Tried to Watch BAD SANTA, It Didn't Go Well

BAD SANTA, a 2003 dark comedy starring Billy Bob Thorton. Craig saw it and liked when it came out (a time which he refers to as his adolescence, even though he was 23). Does it hold up? ___________________ BAD SANTA synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: In this dark comedy, the crotchety Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) and his partner (Tony Cox) reunite once a year for a holiday con. Posing as a mall Santa and his elf, they rip off shopping outlets on Christmas Eve. This year, however, Willie is falling apart. He's depressed and alcoholic, and his erratic behavior draws the suspicion of mall security (Bernie Mac). But when befriending a small boy brings out his kinder side, Willie begins to wonder if there is still some hope for him. ___________________ The rest of the movies we're going to watch, probably (in no particular order) MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET THE PREACHER’S WIFE MICKEY’S CHRISTMAS CAROL BEST MAN HOLIDAY SCROOGED MERRY CHRISTMAS WHITE CHRISTMAS ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE THE BISHOP’S WIFE CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT WHITE REINDEER A CHRISTMAS TALE COMFORT AND JOY (1984) LITTLE WOMEN (1994) LITTLE WOMEN (2019) MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS REMEMBER THE NIGHT TANGERINE CAROL THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER ME OTHER PLACES Patreon http://patreon.com/wheezywaiter Twitter http://twitter.com/Wheezywaiter Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/BeardLovers Facebook http://facebook.com/wheezywaiter Merch https://store.dftba.com/collections/craig-benzine
