Merry Christmas and welcome back to the Horror. Cult. Trash. Other. Podcast!

Today we're bringing you the final of this year’s Christmas episodes, and we’re discussing the bizarre piece of British TV history that is Cilla Black's Christmas Eve, a wild and extremely camp TV special that features Cilla singing in questionable accents, The Bee Gees and their kids and wives being held captive in a room in Miami, and THAT horrendous rendition of All Night Long by Lionel Richie.

Alongside our main film discussion, we also discuss what we've been watching recently including Moonstruck and The Holiday Exchange.

To hear us discussing all of the other films in the Friday the 13th franchise, head back to episodes 16, 32, 82, 133, 187, 235, 288, 341, 342, 348 and 354.

This is the latest of our Friday the 13th franchise bonus episodes which we have been releasing every time there’s a Friday the 13th.

During this episode we discuss all things Jason X including the fact that it looks like a made for TV film despite having an $11 million budget in the year 2000, the hit or miss meta humour and the cunty KM-14 who is the best thing about the film.

To hear us discussing the other films in the franchise, head back to episodes 16, 32, 82, 133, 187, 235, 288, 341, 342 and 348.

Welcome back to the Horror. Cult. Trash. Other. Podcast!
