Featured, Podcasts, Silver Linings Playback

Normally, Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. However, along the way, they keep pitching brilliant movie ideas.

So this week, instead of reviewing a film, we are sharing their best movie pitches from 2020. If you are a Hollywood producer looking for a guaranteed payday, make sure to listen and then write them both a big, fat check.

Silver Linings Playback 34 – Star Wars Holiday Special

Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For the month of December, they are watching Christmas movies.

When Silver Linings Playback launched in May, Joel and Andy spent the month watching maligned Star Wars films. So it’s only fitting that they end the year by watching the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, a made-for-TV movie so reviled that for years the cast refused to talk about it in interviews and George Lucas tried to have all copies destroyed.

[Editor’s Note – While it isn’t officially streaming anywhere, bootleg copies of the special can be found on YouTube, including this link right here.]

This week, they watch the 2009 made-for-TV movie The Dog Who Saved Christmas, which is essentially a lazy ripoff of Home Alone, but with a dog protecting the house from a team of robbers lead by Dean Cain.

Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For the month of December, they are watching Christmas movies.

They kick off the month with Last Christmas, a film that fittingly was released last Christmas. It stars Emilia Clarke as Kate, a Christmas store elf who is having a rough time until she meets the mysterious Tom (Henry Golding), who helps her become a better, more responsible person.
