It's been done once as a TV movie, then released in 2024 as a wildly successful theatrical release by director Dallas Jenkins. As a film about a group of misfit kids rejected (and accepted) by a local church as they crash their way into the yearly Christmas pageant, this book-to-film adaptation was close to many of our hearts.

We discuss what we loved most, how the 2024 film compared to the original book, and a few heartfelt Christmas memories along the way.

Featuring hosts Tim Haynes, Donna Haynes, Rebekah Edwards, and T. Josiah Haynes.

The family gets our first taste of Neil Gaiman's work as we review Stardust and its film adaptation. (Will it be our last? Because, seriously, this might be one of the strangest books any of us has read...)

Rebekah is the one who writes these summaries, and she's not a fan. Josiah is, though, so she will pretend this isn't just two hours of her ranting...

But seriously, unreliable narrators make for some of the most frustrating... and intriguing. What did we think of how Gone Girls book was adapted to film?
