Bah Humbug: A Christmas Movie Podcast with Helen O'Hara

If you have tinsel on the brain and mulled wine in your blood, this is the podcast for you. We’re living in a golden age of delightfully cheesy Christmas movies, and on Bah Humbug we examine the biggest new offerings this season, as well as looking back at classic seasonal favourites. Think Kurt Russell in The Christmas Chronicles 2, Dolly Parton in Christmas On The Square and Kristen Stewart in Happiest Season. Hosted by Helen O’Hara (the Empire podcast, His Darker Materials) and a rotating cast of film experts and guests, this will take a (mostly) affectionate look at the...

Carry On
With people flying home for the holidays, now would be a really terrible time for ne'er-do-wells to smuggle a mysterious and dangerous package onto a plane by threatening a hapless TSA agent. Taron Egerton stars in this Jaume Collet-Sera film with Jason Bateman playing the unnamed man threatening him. But it all takes place on Christmas Eve, so it's technically a Christmas movie and inside the purview here on Bah Humbug, so your host Helen O'Hara (@HelenLOHara) has invited film experts Chris Hewitt (@ChrisHewitt) and Amon Warmann (@AmonWarmann) along to assess airport security and how best to handle Christmas terrorism...

Dear Santa
It's a movie based on the old joke, about a dyslexic who sold his soul to Santa. This time, however, it's a kid (Robert Timothy Smith) who writes his letter to Santa with a crucial piece of misspelling, so that the devilish Jack Black turns up that night offering him three wishes in return for his soul. But is it worth eternal damnation to watch this one? Well, to find out, your host Helen O'Hara (@HelenLOHara) sits down with author and comedian Marc Burrows (@20thCenturyMarc) to talk demons, wishes and what exactly this film could have done better.

Christmas Eve In Miller's Point
An unconventional and fresh-feeling Christmas movie, Tyler Taormina's Christmas Eve In Miller's Point recreates a family get-together in a small town in the early '00s with painstaking attention to detail and more than a little comedy. To get the lowdown on this atmospheric tale, your host Helen O'Hara (@HelenLOHara) talked to writer-director Tyler Taormina and guest Laura Venning (@LauraVenning) about what it takes to make a real family Christmas. Christmas Eve In Miller's Point is on digital platforms now, and will play in Picturehouse Cinemas this Christmas Eve...

That Christmas
This British Christmas animation is based on a series of books by Richard "Love Actually" Curtis, so you know it's going to be quirky and Christmassy and British, and stars a comedy who's-who of talent, including our guest this time, Rhys Darby!

Hot Frosty And The Merry Gentlemen
Think Christmas, think perfect chiselled abs. At least, that appears to be the message from Netflix's Hot Frosty and The Merry Gentlemen. The former sees Schitt's Creek's Dustin Milligan play a snowman come to life to fall in love with Lacey Chabert's cafe owner. The Merry Gentlemen, meanwhile, sees Britt Robertson's dancer turn Chad Michael Murray and friends into a topless dance revue to save her parents bar.

Red One
It's the biggest Christmas film in years, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Chris Evans leading a starry cast and a massive budget. But is Red One actually any good?

The Holdover
It's not often that you see a Christmas film with Oscar buzz, nor one that the studio for some reason decide to release in the second half of January. Yet here we are, with the excellent cast and crew of The Holdovers. The reunion of Sideways' director and Star, Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti respectively, sees them tackle the story of a depressed teacher left looking after outcast students at a boy's boarding school over the holidays, which is no-one's idea of fun. Joining your host, Helen O'Hara (@HelenLOHara) to talk about it is Radio One film critic and host of Radio One’s “Screen Time” Ali Plumb (@AliPlumb), here to dissect perhaps the best Christmas movie of the decade...

There's Something In The Barn
Folklore: not just a Taylor Swift album. In this Norway-set horror / comedy, an enraged barn elf just ruins a family Christmas in revenge for being fed fish instead of cookies.

It’s a Wonderful Knife
It's a spectacular pun, based on the best Christmas Film Of All Time (TM), but now with added slasher action.
