2024: Advent Calendar — Day 12

Sure, they call it “THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR” but a lot of bad things can happen around the holidays and it can be very hard on folks. Today we hit up a worthy modern Christmas classic that was very formidable to our youth and introduced to us two absolute smokeshows that would influence our growth into maturity. We’re talking about Gizmo and Phoebe Cates. We hit up Joe Dante last Halloween season so let us discuss his iconic 1984 Christmas horror-comedy “GREMLINS” starring Zach Gilligan, Phoebe Cates & Hoyt Axton. Mogwai’s are extremely cute (don’t look up what that word means in Cantonese) but they come with very strict rules that seem inevitable to be broken. Wet em and they multiply. Feed them after midnight Eastern U.S. standard time and they will transform into these little green maniacs that are annoying, sometimes deadly but often very funny. They’re a very funny plague but could also destroy entire civilizations. Seriously, why aren’t we culling these Mogwai dudes? I know they’re cute as hell but the risks are too great. They do like movies though. That’s a big plus with these guys. If only we could get one on the show.

"Clark. A few weeks should have passed by the time you read this. If you follow the instructions, you'll be in Paris on one of those chairs that never sit quite level on a pavement. I hope it's still sunny. Across the bridge to your right, you'll see L'artisan Parfumeur. You should try the scent called Papiomextrem. I always did think it would smell great on you. There are few things I wanted to say and couldn't because you would've gotten emotional and you wouldn't have let me finish. So, here it is. When you get back home, Michael Lawler will give you access to a bank account that contains enough to give you a new beginning. Don't start panicking. It's not enough for you to sit around for the rest of your life but it should buy you your freedom, at least from that little town we both call home. Live boldly, Clark. Push yourself. Don't settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride. Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury, knowing I might have given them to you. This eased something for me. So, this is it. You are scored on my heart, Clark. You have been the first day you walked in with your sweet smile and your ridiculous clothes and your bad jokes and your complete inability to ever hide a single thing you felt. Don't think of me too often. I don't want you getting sad. Just live well. Just live. I'll be walking beside you every step of the way. Love, Will."

Me before you - You are scored on my heart

"How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies" has become an organic success in Thailand, where it became the country's highest-grossing film of the year, their eleventh-highest-grossing domestic film of all time, and became a viral sensation online as audience members posted videos of them crying after screening the film. Director/Co-Writer Pat Boonnitipat was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream internationally on Netflix and is up for your consideration at the 97th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film (Thailand). Thank you, and enjoy!
