Black Christmas (1974)

"**Black Christmas (1974)**" is the twelfth episode of the first season of We'll See You In Hell. It is a commentary episode.

## Episode Description

*On the twelfth episode of WE’LL SEE YOU IN HELL, Joe and Pat spend some time with Billy and his murderous shenanigans in the 1974 slasher classic “BLACK CHRISTMAS”. Whether you’re listening to the show as a stand-alone podcast or a commentary to the film (which you can find on DVD and Blu-ray), you can hear Joe & Pat share uncomfortable party stories, their thoughts on the later career of Bob Clark and much, much more. And WE’LL SEE YOU IN HELL refreshingly dissects the culture of hyperbole in film culture, the press and social media, even if it means Joe defending INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULLS!*

## Commentary Topics

* Rush talk ensues, "music you do your calculus homework to" - Mike Robinson.
* Would you see Artist XYZ if you got free tickets? (Celine, no. Britney, yes).

* How did Bob Clark direct A Christmas Story after this and Porky's?
* He also directed Baby Geniuses. How'd that get a sequel?

* A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, how did the directors of these not work more?
* Benny and Joon mixed up with What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
* Pat tells the story of Juliette Lewis showing up at his birthday party (she's on-time, reads his Scorsese book, Pat sticks his foot in his mouth, and Pat makes her laugh when showing them the bedroom).
* Joe tells a story of exquisitely handsome Rob McElhenney appearing at his and bombed in front of Inspectah Deck.

* Film running times should be shorter.
* We get a little Sam Elliott from Joe.
* Catherine O'Hara didn't get nominated in For Your Consideration (Joe's favorite Guestie) is because it hit too close to home. And what about Eugene Levy in A Mighty Wind? And John Michael Higgins and Parker Posey in Best in Show? And Fred Willard in anything? Lynch? Coolidge?
