National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: “We’re at the Threshold of HELL!”
#Hindsighters, Darth and Jason realize that you are mourning the ending of the first HIH season. Luckily, for all of you already missing the holidays, your favorite podcasters are going out with a Christmas classic in January. Better yet, they are accompanied by awesome returning guest, Morgan!
This film is arguably one of the most hilarious and
relatable Christmas movies in all of cinema history. Christmas Vacation teaches
us the valuable lesson that having relatives over for a month-long visit would
quickly devolve into The Hunger Games, especially if Katherine burns the turkey
again.
In all seriousness, when Count
Rugen’s brother and bitchy
Elane Benes are your uptight, yuppie neighbors, adding relatives like Cousin
Eddie to equation can make the Christmas season a stressful one to endure.
The best way to survive such a season is to follow this sage
holiday advice:
Be sure to constantly chug egg nog out of moosen cups from Wally World.NEVER hang a realistic Clark
Griswold from the side of your house; an idiot will call the cops.If you’re a plastic, light-up Santa and reindeer set,
avoid the Griswold home at all costs.
Jason would argue that Santa could regenerate himself and
his reindeer as the supernatural being of Christmas
Vacation, but Darth doesn’t want to go there.
Hindsighters, our final thought from this Christmas season
is this: Go full Griswold with your Christmas dreams. If you shoot for the
moon, you might land in a backyard
pool.
Darth and Jason would also like to thank each and every one
of their listeners for making this such a successful first year of #HindsightIsHorrifying.
Your continued listenership and support mean the world
to us, and we could not be more grateful.
And before they get uppity, Darth and Jason would also like
to sincerely thank each guest who has helped make these podcast episodes so
special and fun. It has been a fantastic 2019, and the trolls best watch out,
because 2020 is only going to be better and brighter.
This is Hindsight, and good night.
