53: Violent Night (2022) "The Zaddy Cinematic Universe‪"‬ Why the Flick?

If you thought Christmas was over, think again because we’ve got one last present under the tree for you here at Why the Flick? Closing out the last movie in our holiday series lineup and our season 3 finale is Violent Night (2022) with friend of the pod Elizabeth. In the history of cinema Santas, several icons stand out — Tim Allen, Richard Attenborough, Kurt Russel. And thanks to this banger, David Harbour is the newest (and possibly best) addition to that list. Who knew the thing we needed most was a cynical, tatted, Norse warrior Santa Claus? We talk about all the Christmas movie references (Die Hard included), the violence (obviously), and an upcoming sequel (yes please).
