About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron sprint, tackle, and elbow their way through Jingle All the Way (1996) — the holiday madhouse where Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a mattress salesman with the physique of a Greek god, Sinbad turns it up to 11 as an unhinged postal worker, and Phil Hartman seduces a neighborhood of moms with fresh-baked cookies.
So grab your non-alcoholic eggnog, take a dose of 90’s nostalgia, and join the guys as they unpack bomb scares, mall-Santa cartels, and jet pack technology. Because if Jingle All the Way taught us anything, it’s the true meaning of Christmas — buying the right toy or your family will stop loving you.
