Christmas with the Kranks




The Maybe You Like It Podcast show

Summary: <p>In this Christmas Special, <a href="https://www.twitter.com/jakereesh" target="_blank">Jake</a> and <a href="https://www.twitter.com/calbelebster" target="_blank">Caleb</a> go it alone to discuss staging '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_with_the_Kranks" target="_blank">Christmas with the Kranks</a>' . We'll be putting Joe Roth's 2004 film, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, into our hypothetical theatre! Based on John Grisham's 2001 novel '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipping_Christmas" target="_blank">Skipping Christmas</a>', the film follows a couple who decide to skip Christmas one year since their daughter is away, much to the chagrin of their neighbours. The couple are then sent into a panicked backtrack when their daughter calls them on Christmas Eve to announce she is coming home for Christmas after all, and with a boy no less.</p><br><p>We're not a film critisism podcast so aplogies for how much we bash the movie in this episode. A rotten tomatoes score of 5% doesn't lie.</p><br><p>Take a listen and let us know your thoughts <a href="https://twitter.com/maybeulikeit" target="_blank">@maybeulikeit</a> or <a href="mailto:info@maybeyoulikeit.co.uk" target="_blank">info@maybeyoulikeit.co.uk. </a>What would you do differently?</p><br><p>Despite what we say in the episode, Christmas with the Kranks is now <em>back</em> on Netflix UK at the time of writing. The full script doesn't seem to be available online.</p><br><p>Find Jake <a href="https://www.twitter.com/jakereesh" target="_blank">@jakereesh</a> on twitter</p><p>Find Caleb <a href="https://www.twitter.com/calbelebster" target="_blank">@caleblebster</a> on twitter and instagram</p><p>Find out more about us at <a href="https://www.maybeyoulikeit.co.uk" target="_blank">https://www.maybeyoulikeit.co.uk</a></p><br><p>Music is from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Nephersia" target="_blank">Kavana Crossley</a></p><br><p>Maybe You Like It, Maybe You Don't</p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
