Bad Ass Christmas continues.   What on the surface is a light-hearted tale with decent to good performances hides a deeper, darker secret that exposes everything wrong with the increasing consumer culture encroaching on everything that is good about the observation of Christmas.  The boys spend time grapling with that, and discuss Arnold’s career in general, and Phil Hartman’s shamelessness, before things devolve into reindeer punching.
