A scathing critique of the classic holiday film 'A Christmas Story', arguing it's a bad movie masquerading as a cherished tradition.
beat sheet
- Author Nicole Drum claims the 1983 film has 'no Christmas spirit', is more about 'consumerism and guns', and features 'miserable' characters
- Despite its 'vintage visual quality' and 'fake nostalgia', the film's 'flimsy consumerism story' doesn't deserve its status as a holiday classic
