Hey, Portlandia fans.

Kerry Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.

The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.

We're launching Podlandia AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast where we revisit every episode of Portlandia together, breaking down sketches, going deep on our iconic characters, and pulling back

the curtain on how it all got made. And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.

Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song.

Well, I thought you were all going to write a song.

I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia, A-O Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Mojo in the morning show. So we were talking about, you know, class Christmas classics and, you know, Christmas time. I always feel like Christmas time is the greatest time for movies and specials and stuff because the association of Christmas always brings some of the best movies out. Well, Spike has an opinion, which everybody does, and his opinion was not well taken by some of our listeners who attacked you for an opinion that you brought out.

Well, I had to laugh because you want to get people riled up. Start naming your favorite Christmas movies or Christmas songs. So I posted on Instagram my favorite Christmas movies. I didn't say the best. I didn't say the most critically award-winning. I said my favorite. It's a matter of personal opinion. But wow, were those fighting words. I never got so many comments about anything I've done on Instagram as I did when I shared my highly controversial opinion that the Tim Allen Santa Claus movies aren't great. They're trash. What? And the whole rest of the world seems to disagree with me. Right, as they should. The fact that they're just kind of lame. They're just kind of there.

I like the first one, but I agree with you on the rest of them.

They got worse and worse. They got worse and worse. They didn't need three sequels and a TV series, and now Disney's going to do a reimagining of it, and it's like, they're just not great.

I thought the first one was good. The second one was pretty good. It was pretty good. The third one, you're right, it sucked. I haven't watched the Disney one yet, but you're 100% wrong that the Tim Allen movies, though, in general are bad. I think the first one was great. I agree with Shannon.

Great is not a word you would use. Really, it's more closer to say, eh, it's already on TV. I guess we'll watch it.

No. No way. It's no Elf. No. It's no, you know. It's no Grinch.

It's no Snoopy and Charlie Brown. It's no classic like Home Alone. Love Actually. Stop.

We're having a conversation over here about the Christmas movies.

I love Love Actually.

Love Actually and The Family Stone are two movies that I love so much. What about The Holiday? We're talking about classic. It's all holiday. I thought that you had a romantic heart in your body there somewhere.

They are the schlockiest Hallmark movie.

Have you ever watched The Family Stone?

Horrible. Are you honest to God? Then you never watched it. You just like Sarah Jessica Parker.

You just Googled that. You haven't watched it.

It's a Hallmark plot.

No, it is not.

All right.

Oh, my God.

So what did you list? I'm moving away from you. So what is your top? What is your top of tops?

My top is Elf. Okay. classic which which i mean it's just amazing there's so many great quotable movies and then i go to like a bunch of really classics i like a charlie brown christmas which has that amazing jazzy score and also also all christmas specials should be 25 minutes long it's just enough uh i like the grinch i like one uh well i like both i like the there's three well there's three and the most recent one wasn't that great i like the benedict i like the obviously the classic animated from the 60s is the best but also the jim carrey one is good benedict cumberbatch not so

great no i don't like that one can i tell you one that you're gonna either love or hate but it's my

favorite of all time i know what your favorite is of all time because it's also your favorite movie of all time and also is one of the most annoying and disturbing

movies. I don't understand how you could say that, but it's honestly, it's one of the most touching movies ever. It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie

of all time. I agree. Well, not my favorite, but it's really, really good. Jimmy Stewart is

annoying for two hours, and the movie is disturbing. Think of the movie plot. Oh my God. On Christmas Eve, he's suicidal, and he gets a visit from an angel named Clarence. He's been depressing. He's been a jerk to everyone on life his whole life, and then we're just all of a sudden supposed to like him the next day because... No. Some people would

find that relatable.

Megan's bio. I have this quote in my phone because I think this quote means so much. Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he? That's the line from Clarence to George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life because it's so true. I mean, think about it. If you've experienced any kind of a loss of any person in your life, You realize how amazing their life was Because their life touched you so much Spike just doesn't have a heart

Or they're just nostalgic and they die And you feel like you're supposed to say something nice about them Come on

Alright, so Elf is my second favorite movie of all time And then I would say Home Alone And Home Alone 2 tie for third We're not throwing in like Diehards or Iron Man

Stop, stop Everybody loves to have the hot take That Die Hard is a Christmas movie When does it happen? We don't ring in the Yuletide cheer with Fighting Off Terrorists at Nakatomi Plaza. I'm talking classic movies that are actually about Christmas with the joys and surprises and Santa Claus, okay? It's not machine guns. You don't think it was a surprise? I think it was a great movie. Spoiler alert! It was a great movie. I liked it. But everybody loves to pick these movies and go, oh, gremlins. No, it's a horror movie that just happens to take place on Christmas.

What are we missing? Which one are we missing?

You're missing Scrooge. Oh, yeah. That's Wes's favorite movie. That's a good one. I love Scrooge. Niagara Falls, Frankie A.

What about this one? John brings up a good one. John? Hey, what's up, man? Morning. How are you doing? Best Christmas movie.

Bad Santa. Bye. No. That's okay. He plays a great role in that movie. He does play a great role, but it's not a favorite.

Billy Bob Thornton is great. That is one of the funnier movies.

It is very funny. But you can't sit down with your family And watch Santa drink and swear and punch people

What's happening The crazy Italian Michelle, our Mojo of the Morning Misfit, two days in a row, what's going on

Okay, check this out Spike, I love you I've loved you for years, right

It's all changing now

You threw down some fighting gloves here A wonderful life My dog's name is George Bailey Oh, thank you Thank you It's a wonderful life.

Yeah, because his character should be a dog that people just roll their eyes at and go, what a jerkhole. They shouldn't actually celebrate him just because he decided not to kill himself.

No, the story of the way people love him, the town coming together, it's more than just about...

You want a good classic, warm, happy feeling? Go watch an old one like White Christmas or Holiday Inn or Miracle on 34th Street. They have a great, better message than you can be a jerk your whole life.

I love both of them.

How have we not said Some other ones They're classics too, Michelle How have we not said National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Oh, that's good Oh, I say I love it That's a great movie Home for the Holidays Richard Dreyfuss Home for the Holidays I don't know if I've seen Robert Downey Jr. Oh my God It is so funny Holly Hunter Home for the Holidays Michelle

The fact that no one Knows the movie You're talking about You just lost three Credit points in your opinion

And a Christmas story

No wonder you like Home Alone We need to get you Some streaming passwords

How have we not said A Christmas story

I said A Christmas Story. Oh, you did say A Christmas Story? It's one of my favorites, for sure.

The one I like, too, that people don't like because the animation is super weird is Polar Express. No, I hate it. Oh, that's a boring movie.

I love the book, not the movie.

I was hoping the train would go off. Oh, my God.

If you have kids, it's okay to watch, but the animation's a little disturbing, and there literally is no plot.

Hold on. There's not. Sarah brings up a good one here, guys. Sarah?

Hi.

We're talking about the classics of classics, but what did you want to say?

I said, like, I love the Hallmark movies. Me too. Yes, they're the same plot every time. But I still love them. I love Hallmark movies. I do, too.

Well, they drive me absolutely nuts. They have the same story. I don't care. You're telling me a small business is failing at a small town that happens to be holiday themed? If the entire community gets together, they can save the business and the town will be saved and they're going to fall in love with.

the hottest single person that's close in age and vicinity? His name happens to be something along the lines of Chris or Nick.

Who's doing the music in the background? Who's doing the music? Is that you, Mike? That was great. That was perfect. Hold on. Kim wants to add one to the list. What's yours, Kim? Grandma got ran over by a reindeer. Oh, we're coming off the rails now.

Everybody lost their right to add to this list. You're going to pick on mine? Goodbye. I'm sorry. A home World Cup only happens once in a lifetime, and we are not missing a second. I'm Castle 1021.
