Episode 206 - National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (and BFE Christmas Party)

Prepare for the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tapdanced with Danny F'n Kaye. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ethan, Megan, and Georgia with a glass of eggnog as we review the Patreon pick for this year's Christmas review.  Also on tap is the BFE Christmas Party as we exchange a few gifts and We're checking bulbs in our 207th episode as we discuss:

• What future sitcom stars are hiding in plain sight
• Why do the kids' ages not stay consistent from film to film
• What causes nostalgia for a film like this
• A scene that had us feeling quite odd about its placement
• Which character had to be brought back to the franchise after missing European Vacation
• The Chicago PD offers some strange services to the spouses of kidnapping victims
• Ian shares a story of the funniest Thanksgiving he ever had
• We've got some Christmas Carollers who stop by to wish us their very best during the festive season
• Whether or not National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the Best Film Ever
