Show Notes
‘Tis the season so Kate and David are caught up in the Christmas spirit and will be discussing their own favourite festive hits and, in the spirit of the podcast, what yuletide films they’ve missed. And what even is a Christmas film anyway? We’ll also be discussing festive family cinema trips, childhood Christmas plays - some nativity, some most definitely not, queer joy - it’s not just for Christmas, Lindy West’s timeless takedown of a deeply questionable seasonal offering, the unavoidable but not very merry mention of the internet’s beloved Succession and of course submissions from our very own helper elves, our lovely listeners, what Christmas films are they The Last One To See?

More from The Last One To See
Much like a vampire who has fallen wildly in love with you at first sniff, Twilight was simply inescapable. Like a teenage werewolf, it morphed rapidly, from 50 Shades fan fic to a best selling book to a film tie in, coinciding with the full moon of TMZ gossip culture rising across the horizon, making its young cast some of the most watched people on the planet. That’s enough metaphors stretched to breaking point, we are joined by our friends at The Cinemile to unpick not just a film but a cultural juggernaut, both full of frankly disturbing behaviour.
Danny Boyle, Ewan McGregor, Cameron Diaz, a banging soundtrack, an iconic poster and an absurdly stacked supporting cast. What could possibly go wrong? Well, quite a lot actually.
Even if, like Deb, you're not on the guest list for rock'n'roll heaven, we'll never turn you away at The Last One To See! This week we welcome Graham Smyth, the last one to see EMPIRE RECORDS.
