Not only that He is also one of the most powerful magical beings in the Universe known by most Marvel heroes. He even Has a Team up movie with the Avengers. Marvel Super Hero Adventures: Frost Fight! Its pretty awesome
Santa caused the stock market Santa caused the Holocaust Santa caused the American Revolution Santa caused the Civil War Santa caused the great Emu war Santa caused the bucket war Santa caused the 30 minute war Santa caused the ladder war Santa caused the Fire nation to attack
Santa caused the Hindenburg disaster Santa caused the Pearl Harbor attack Santa caused the JFK assassination Santa caused the Challenger disaster Santa caused the 9/11 attack
Not a bad movie for a Netflix Christmas movie, let’s face it Kurt Russell the only reason to watch this movie, he is great like every movie he’s in. And Santa Kurt’s blues number was a call back to Kurt playing Elvis in John Carpenters Made for TV Elvis bio pic from 1979.
Couldn't agree more. Though if they do a sequel, I want Santa to die, fight the Grim Reaper, stop an evil robot duplicate of himself, get into an argument with Jesus and the Easter Bunny, and expose himself to the world. Pretty much an 80s throwback movie.
Absolutely! seeing Kurt Russel is the reason I sat down to watch. He must be the coolest person on the planet. Every movie I've seen of his the cool just oozes out of the screen.
Definitely a badass Santa but admittedly not as badass as Santa from Rise of the Guardians. That being said I could imagine both Santa’s kicking the hell outta the terrorists from The Night The Reindeer Died
Turns out Santa getting stranded in Chicago makes for a more exciting movie than Santa getting stranded on a Florida beach. Though I have to wonder what this universe’s version of the Ice Cream Bunny would be like...
I’m glad someone finally addressed how anyone could disbelieve in Santa Claus’ existence in universes where he gives everyone gifts. It seems millions would have proof someone is giving gifts.
14:15 "Dear Santa - this Christmas I wish for paint and canvas so I can become a famous artist when I grow up!" "Fuck you Adolf, you get a set of tin soldiers!"
11:38 I have the same problem with Ernest Saves Christmas and The Santa Clause. Santa exists. He delivers presents (though he's not infallible and sometimes forgets to deliver something that was asked for). And yet people don't believe he exists. More to the point, /parents/ don't believe he exists.
As someone who grew up watching the Earthworm Jim cartoon, where they revealed that in his younger years Santa was Odin the All-Father of Asgard, I am totally fine with the idea of Kurt Russell as Santa.
Now it makes sense why Krampus jaw was hanging open in that movie Santa Kurt punched him in the face and broke his jaw for being such a big dick to so many innocent people
This movie had the right combination of younger Ed Asner's Santa (and other Elf elements) and Kurt Russell being his badass self. While these elves are what I would have wanted those animated Trolls movies to be. The movie is the right kind of twisted for me.
The feeling I got was that the mom did believe in Santa and that Santa wasn't entirely seen as something mythical just that perhaps at some point some people became cynical or dismissive of the idea. Equate it to any number of real-world things where there are people who believe and have reasons to believe and their own evidence, and people who don't believe and have THEIR evidence not to. But that the mom wasn't surprised by the additional gifts under the tree and even said she even remarked at how she was surprised the son "made the cut," which brings the "book of True Believers" into the story. Which sort of brings me to a quibble I had, At the end, Santa writes the son's name in to the "True Believers" book after their night's adventure. Does the son really now count as a "true believer." Because at this point it's not about belief or disbelief, he KNOWS Santa is real so he doesn't need belief.
By far the most original Santa I know of is the Christmas Horror Santa’s Slay. Which stars Wrestler Superstar Goldberg as an evil murderous Santa Claus. In the movie it is revealed he is actually Satan but lost a bet and was forced to be good for 1000 years. Once it was up Santa was up to no good. Naughty, nice, didn’t matter to him.
Really surprised you haven't reviewed the Coen's - The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix, seems to be getting snubbed by many popular critics and I can't understand why, its a great flick.
Here's an interesting fact: My father-in-law resembles Kurt Russell, sounds & talks like Kurt Russell, and is also a real-beard Santa. Gets WAY into Christmas. So imagine my surprise to see Netflix making a movie about my father-in-law.
Final Fantasy: Christmas Chronicles Or... The Christmas Chronicles of Narnia Also, that thumbnail image for this video has rather realistic caricatures of Brad and Laura...
I've no doubt others have already said this but, Your significant other is absolutely stunning cinema snob. Christmas Chronicles is meh, nice way to kill time
I'm surprised not one person has realised this movie is copying another christmas movie made in 1988... ernest saves christmas! Exact same movie. Kid doesnt believe. Santa thrown in jail.. sings with the inmates.. kids help save christmas etc. Damn give ernest some credit now.. just remember 98% of movies aren't original anymore. Just like music is recycling old songs
I saw the Trailer for this and I didn't know if I should watch it or not. It looked good, but when they said it came from the people who brought you Harry Potter, I was like "um NO." And then it said it came from the people who brought you Home Alone, and I didn't know. Harry Potter and Home Alone was put out by the same people? REALLY? The movies aren't even remotely the same. One is witchcraft and the other is just good clean comedy.
Please review more of the awful made-for-tv Christmas romantic comedies! A Christmas Prince was just terrible and is getting a sequel this year. Double feature!

I'm glad that Ego didn't really die, but instead he redeemed himself by giving presents to children of Earth every Christmas.
More like Jack Burton learned some of that old Chinese black magic to turn the Pork Chop Express into a sleigh and him hauling presents for eternity.
Santa is, of course, canon in both Marvel AND DC Comics.
And that Ultimate Warrior comic...
And The eclectic company is canon to marvel
Not only that He is also one of the most powerful magical beings in the Universe known by most Marvel heroes.
He even Has a Team up movie with the Avengers.
Marvel Super Hero Adventures: Frost Fight!
Its pretty awesome
Also he was in The Fables.
@@iamthecheese6669 he's canon...but he isn't happy.
Kurt Russel is the Santa Claus that Tim Allen became, it's all part of the same santaverse
Only problem with that is Tim Allen is the more traditionally fat Santa.
Kurt Russel became the Santa Tim Allen wished he could be.
Santa caused the stock market
Santa caused the Holocaust
Santa caused the American Revolution
Santa caused the Civil War
Santa caused the great Emu war
Santa caused the bucket war
Santa caused the 30 minute war

@@billyjoelfan100 isn't that the plot of bill and ted's bogus journey?
Sort of, but I'd also like him to take on Jesus and the Easter Bunny. So Bogus Journey meets South Park.
Absolutely! seeing Kurt Russel is the reason I sat down to watch. He must be the coolest person on the planet. Every movie I've seen of his the cool just oozes out of the screen.
Honestly Kurt Russell looks like hes still wearing his Ego costume from his Guardians of the Galaxy 2 role. ^v^
Ego as Santa actually makes sense the toys he gives are made out of that gel stuff he used at the end of the movie IT’S A TRAP!!!!
Only a good elf with a chainsaw can stop a bad elf with a chainsaw.
Definitely a badass Santa but admittedly not as badass as Santa from Rise of the Guardians. That being said I could imagine both Santa’s kicking the hell outta the terrorists from The Night The Reindeer Died
Lee Majors has it covered.
Good news, Brad! Season 4 of Fuller House premieres December 14! Just in time for a good ol' holiday review.
So this is RJ MacReady's reward for fending off The Thing alien, becoming the new successor to Santa Claus. Funny how things work out.
Kurt Russell is one of those actors where if he's starring in it, the coolness of the movie goes up ten-fold. I'm hoping that applies to this movie.
Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas 2 with Kurt Russell as Santa vs Angry Fist-Shaking Santa when
Never heard of this movie but I saw Kurt Russell in the thumb.
Kurt Russell in Escape from The North Pole.
At least the Dad didn't die dressed as Santa while trapped in the chimney.
garmlin ?
"You know what old Santa Claus always says at a time like this..."
"Who?"
"Santa Claus...ME!"
No no, if you get somebody to play the Easter Bunny it has to be Bruce Willis.
Elvis, Santa, Wyatt Earp, Snake Plisken, Jack Burton. What a legend!
"You know what old Jack Burton always says at a time like this..."
"Who?"
"Jack Burton...ME!"
Have you ever thought about Laura and Sara reviewing a movie as sort of a girls night thing?
I reckon. It seems like a couple of giggling school girls discussing the new boy in school.
I kept hearing slaves every time you said sleigh and it made it sound like a very different movie.
I would have been down (if he was still with us) for a Valentine's Movie with Ricardo Montalbon as Cupid.
A Chicago Movie, partially filmed in Toronto
Yeah, from the trailer I was getting Minion vibes from the elves. Kinda glad they didn't go all the way there.
Turns out Santa getting stranded in Chicago makes for a more exciting movie than Santa getting stranded on a Florida beach.
Though I have to wonder what this universe’s version of the Ice Cream Bunny would be like...
I’m glad someone finally addressed how anyone could disbelieve in Santa Claus’ existence in universes where he gives everyone gifts. It seems millions would have proof someone is giving gifts.

My niece loved this movie. I saw it over the weekend and it's a fun watch. And of course Kurt Russell is awesome as always.
Guardians Of the galaxy
As a grumpy late thirties man who usually dislikes Christmas films I really enjoyed this. A very pleasant surprise.
Watching this made me hope to see Grant Morrison's Klaus comic get turned into a movie
Easter bunny needs to be carrot cigar smoking mobster boss.
Damn...I wonder what the Tooth Fairy would be?
My wife and I loved this movie and have decided to add it to our regular Christmas rotation.
Santa is not supposed to be hot, but dammit......that leather coat. I loved Kurt Russell Santa and Mrs Claus was perfect.
I'm going to pretend this is the Santa Claus of the Krampus/Trick 'r' Treat universe.
Now it makes sense why Krampus jaw was hanging open in that movie Santa Kurt punched him in the face and broke his jaw for being such a big dick to so many innocent people
I'd be all about the Holiday Chronicles being a series.
Easter Chronicles has Stallone as a cigar smoking Rambo type Easter Bunny
This movie had the right combination of younger Ed Asner's Santa (and other Elf elements) and Kurt Russell being his badass self. While these elves are what I would have wanted those animated Trolls movies to be. The movie is the right kind of twisted for me.
Tell em I'm comin' and I'm bringin' Christmas with me!!!!!
Kurt Russell did a good job playing Santa. Unfortunately, his performance couldn't save the movie for me.
Me and my dad loved watching this together. Was so damn fun to watch.
Brad said oof... you're scaring me brad
Kurt Russell is one of the best actors to play Santa. I loved it. Goldie Hawn was great too.
Fuck yeah, Santa Claus: The Movie. With Dudley Moore and John Lithgow, who is so over the top that he ends up in space at the end.
The feeling I got was that the mom did believe in Santa and that Santa wasn't entirely seen as something mythical just that perhaps at some point some people became cynical or dismissive of the idea. Equate it to any number of real-world things where there are people who believe and have reasons to believe and their own evidence, and people who don't believe and have THEIR evidence not to.

Kurt Russell as Charles Whitman as Santa Claus.
It's nice to know the gnomes from Gravity Falls are still getting work.
By far the most original Santa I know of is the Christmas Horror Santa’s Slay. Which stars Wrestler Superstar Goldberg as an evil murderous Santa Claus. In the movie it is revealed he is actually Satan but lost a bet and was forced to be good for 1000 years. Once it was up Santa was up to no good. Naughty, nice, didn’t matter to him.
Chainsaw? I must have missed that part.
Really surprised you haven't reviewed the Coen's - The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix, seems to be getting snubbed by many popular critics and I can't understand why, its a great flick.
I never seen this film yet. Will watch it soon
Brad: did you forget about Rise of the Guardians, the animated holiday Avengers movie?
Here's an interesting fact: My father-in-law resembles Kurt Russell, sounds & talks like Kurt Russell, and is also a real-beard Santa. Gets WAY into Christmas. So imagine my surprise to see Netflix making a movie about my father-in-law.
Maybe your father in law secretly _is_ Kurt Russell. A secret identity.
Santa failed to deliver presents and then Carthage sacked Rome.
Christianity didn't exist yet so I think we can give him a pass on that one.
hmm, now that I think about it Christmas of 2000 did seem kind of light compared to other years...
Is this the first time Kurt Russell and Oliver Hudson did a movie together? I may watch this just to see how step father/son play off each other.
Chainsaw Elf needs to team up with Axe Cop
How did the parents not notice that the two kids were missing for so long and not get worried? That is too much of a plot convenience.
Because only their mom is left after their dad died, and she was working an overnight shift at the hospital and had the older brother babysit.
Final Fantasy: Christmas Chronicles
Or...
The Christmas Chronicles of Narnia
Also, that thumbnail image for this video has rather realistic caricatures of Brad and Laura...
I think Dan Hagerty played a mall Santa (former police detective?) in a horror movie or the like, but not Santa as a character...
Elves! It's terrible!
Brad has reviewed it.
The answer to what if Snake Pliskin became Santa Claus.
Is he like Santa in Rise of the Gurdians ?
Wyatt Claus !!!!!!
are we talking about the Dudley Moore version
This movie sounds balls to the wall insane! [Buckles up] I'm in!
This movie came out on a Netflix you could have reviewed this in your house
I've no doubt others have already said this but, Your significant other is absolutely stunning cinema snob.
Christmas Chronicles is meh, nice way to kill time
Green book and front runner you guys miss
You guys need to check out Marvel Super Hero Adventures: Frost Fight!
Which is basically a Santa & Avengers team up movie.
Yes Really. It's amazing xD
Claus must've really fucked up the last few years.
Just watched the movie it's not bad.
Kurt Russell was great in this.
Escape from The North Pole
Life size has lindsey lohan and Tara banks lindsey gets the doll on her birthday
I'm surprised not one person has realised this movie is copying another christmas movie made in 1988... ernest saves christmas! Exact same movie. Kid doesnt believe. Santa thrown in jail.. sings with the inmates.. kids help save christmas etc. Damn give ernest some credit now.. just remember 98% of movies aren't original anymore. Just like music is recycling old songs
Movies have never been original. Remakes and adaptations have been a big part of the industry from the beginning
me: "i'll never watch one of these shitty Samta films again!"
netflix: 'we'll cast Kurt Russell as Santa"
me: "god dammit"
In my universe children believe in Santa. Then a fog comes down and the belief fades.
Silly review.
I liked it.
I saw the Trailer for this and I didn't know if I should watch it or not. It looked good, but when they said it came from the people who brought you Harry Potter, I was like "um NO." And then it said it came from the people who brought you Home Alone, and I didn't know.
Harry Potter and Home Alone was put out by the same people? REALLY? The movies aren't even remotely the same. One is witchcraft and the other is just good clean comedy.
