Last Looks: The Christmas Tree

Jason & Paul run through a huge list of TV and movie recs, we answer some choice Corrections & Omissions on The Christmas Tree, and engineer Devon returns to the pod to talk music and his new album “Blame It On My Zodiac.” Plus, as always at the end of the show we announce next week’s movie!
