    “Thank you for not making us poor – or Samoan.”On this brand new episode of Exploding Sleigh we take a look at a festive-themed entry in the combustible snow sled genre, SANTA’S SLAY (2005).In this twisted holiday tale, Santa is the not the portly present giver we’re all familiar with, but a demonic entity out on a murderous killing spree.

    “I treated him like my brother – the one I didn’t kill.”In a desperate bid for topical relevancy, we thought the release of The Naked Gun reboot was a good reason to go back and review the only entry in that series to feature an exploding helicopter: The Naked Gun 33 1/3 – The Final Insult.Joining us on this show is Doug Tilley (that’s t-i-l-l-E-y] from Cinema Smorgasbord.
