Continuing the Bald Move Christmas season is Love Actually (2003) and three more drinks from the Advent Calendar!

Just parts. Join Jim and A.Ron and their unrefined palettes as they talk about what love is actually.
John Woo came out of retirement to deliver this Christmas gift. We hope he kept the gift receipt. It’s not the follow up to Violent Night (2022) Jim and A.Ron were hoping for. Joel Kinnaman is a treat, but it’s a rough ride. Jim has a solution to fix this movie.
