Episode description
It's 2003--and it's the holidays. Many of our standard Christmas movies were released in the 1940s, but since the 1990s, there has been a resurgence of Christmas movies, creating a number of new holiday classics. Among those is Elf, directed by Jon Favreau, a movie nearly everyone has seen, except for Let's Finally Watch This co-host Timothy Deal.
What Elf offers casual movie fans who have always meant to watch classic movies: a modern Christmas comedy that is both family friendly and heartfelt; love-him-or-hate-him Will Ferrell as the Christmas-obsessed Buddy the Elf; deep discussions of the proper use of fruits in children's books; and an introduction into the four food groups: candy, candy cane, candy corn, and syrup.
