And today we are going to do another quick talk episode. 00:00:23 Jack And today's discussion is what's your favorite Christmas movie? 00:00:29 Jack So, so. So what is your favorite Christmas movie? 00:00:33 Xochitl So this was kind of interesting, Jack, because we didn't really watch Christmas movies and stuff at my house. Well, we saw some, like, really old ones, Mexican ones from when my mom was a kid, but we never really watched like the typical American ones except for my next door neighbors. 00:00:54 Xochitl Uh, which I've talked about before, we were always at their house. It was like the Hangout House. 00:01:00 Xochitl And I got. 00:01:01 Xochitl I was exposed to American culture through them, basically. 00:01:06 Jack Right, right, right, right. 00:01:08 Xochitl And So what? The one that I watched and that really stuck with me and I still watch like pretty much every Christmas is elf. 00:01:18 Jack Ohh wow OK. 00:01:21 Jack That is a. That's a brilliant movie. I love that movie. 00:01:25 Xochitl I love that movie and my mom actually likes it too. I had her watch it with me last Christmas. She's never really seen Christmas movies either, but it's really well done. And I. 00:01:35 Xochitl Hope to watch. 00:01:36 Xochitl It with my boyfriend. 00:01:39 Xochitl At some Christmas because it's such a funny, it's really funny. It's a really funny movie. It's well done, and I and there's like a lot. 00:01:46 Xochitl Of aspects of it that are funny for children and adults, and it's just a good wholesome. 00:01:53 Xochitl Christmas movie and if you don't? 00:01:54 Jack Yes, it there is something wholesome about it. And there's also something disturbing about. 00:02:00 Jack But like, he's such a weirdo. Like the guy is so weird that. 00:02:05 Xochitl I good. 00:02:06 Jack Yeah, sorry that I'm done. Like he's so weird. He's so strange that it's almost like it's. It's funny for adults, but kids wouldn't pick up on that. I don't think. 00:02:16 Xochitl Yeah. I was about to say that's funny because when it came out, it came in in 2003. So I was a little kid. I was like probably five or six maybe when. 00:02:23 Jack I was 2025. 00:02:25 Xochitl Yeah, you were, like, 20 years older than. 00:02:28 Xochitl Me, I was just probably. 00:02:28 Jack Yeah, I was watching it as like, an adult, and I loved it. Yeah. 00:02:33 Xochitl Yeah. And so it's funny because even when I watch it now, because I saw it as like a kid and it has a nostalgic value, I don't see him as, like a weird adult. I just see, like, it just makes sense to me on a kids level because that's when I was first supposed to it. And as kids, we don't really pick up on how, like, weird he is. It's just funny, like. 00:02:52 Xochitl Because he has, like, elves culture, it's it's the people who don't know, like the premise is that this kid crawls into santas's bag and gets like when santas's. 00:03:05 Xochitl Giving out presents and then gets stranded in North Pole because they don't know like who the kid belongs to or anything. So he's raised by Santa and elves. And so when he goes to like meet his biological dad, he's basically brings elf culture into our world, which is completely different. 00:03:26 Jack He sleeps like 45 minutes a day, he. 00:03:31 Jack He's he could build things, you know, incredibly quickly. It's just so funny. Like, it's really funny, you know. 00:03:39 Xochitl Yeah. It's like completely bizarre. And as a kid, it's just, like, really funny. And and I still love to watch it. 00:03:46 Xochitl Every year, it's like he just. 00:03:47 Xochitl Does a bunch of crazy stuff you guys have to absolutely see it. It's on Netflix in the US at least. It probably is on Netflix in other countries, o
