Description
Why does Santa Claus remain prominent? What is the essence of Santa Claus? What does it mean to 'believe'? Iterations and variations of St Nicholas have persisted for centuries. In this episode, we look at three somewhat recent Christmas films to contemplate why this might be.
The Films:
Die Hard (1988) directed by John McTiernan
Bad Santa (2003) directed by Terry Zwigoff
Krampus (2015) directed by Michael Dougherty
