On this episode, we close out 2020 with the 1994 Christmas favorite, The Santa Clause! Hear how a film written by a comedy duo, directed by a first time feature film director, starring a stand up comic turned TV Star...would seal the fate of one of Disney's most beloved live action Christmas films. We discuss the origins of the idea behind the film, the legendary Saturday Night Live alumni who turned down the lead role, the literal painstaking process behind turning America's "tool man" into Kris Kringle, and so much more!
