e193. Cheesy Christmas Movies 3

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! If you’ve been listening to this show for a while then you know that the winter holidays mean that we celebrate a certain tradition on our show. Welcome to our annual cheesy Christmas movies special! Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, chances are you’ve seen the emergent genre that is the Cheesy Christmas movie. As we’ve said in previous years, at this point, the Cheesy Christmas Movie is its own unique genre. It’s not just a romcom and it’s not just a holiday movie. Due in large part to the tireless work of Netflix, Lifetime and the Hallmark channel, the Cheesy Christmas movie has evolved into… a holiday juggernaut that one day will engulf ALL OF MEDIA! Just you wait, it will happen! On this years show, Mav, Hannah and Monica are joined by our guest Dr. Gwen Tarbox to review this year’s crop of films, talk all about what makes genre unique and important and discuss the actual college level course that she designed that specifically deals with this genre… because yes… this really is a thing! So listen and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Om Podcasten

Vox Populorum is a blog and podcast devoted to pop culture criticism. We believe that the best way to understand culture is to discuss it. But we also believe that it's a lot more fun to have these conversations throwing back a couple beers at the bar rather than in a classroom. Please join our weekly round table of media critics, academics, creators, artists, professors, students and fans for an engaging discussion about movies, novels, comic books, television, video games, music or whatever else we happen to think of! Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
