We've finally gotten a PROPER sequel to the 1983 Christmas classic A Christmas Story - but does it live up to the hype? Does it even come anywhere CLOSE to the original? We dig into HBO Max's "A Christmas Story Christmas" - and revisit JT's all-time favorite Christmas movie, "A Christmas Story"!

Pinhead is back... this time on Hulu! With the remake of Clive Barker's horror classic now streaming, it's time to look at the original and the re-imagining and tear their souls apart!
