Son of a Nutcracker!: Elf (2003)

Is Elf a modern Christmas classic or just Will Ferrell acting like a child for 97 minutes? Brody and Nate unwrap the film that launched Ferrell's leading man career and helped define 2000s holiday comedy. From Jon Favreau's commitment to practical effects to that infamous spaghetti scene, discover how this fish-out-of-water story became a yearly tradition for some... and a yearly obligation for others. Plus, the hosts debate what makes a "Christmas classic" and share their own holiday traditions, including a surprising revelation about just how many Christmas trees one host owns.
