We've made it to 12 episodes, and boy do we have a doozy for you to celebrate a year of Good Beer Bad Movie Night (Australia style). Reuben can hardly contain his excitement for The Rise of Skywalker and to celebrate its impending release the duo sat down to watch the most challenging film they have ever covered. The Star Wars Holiday Special is a true endurance test for anyone who tries to enjoy bad film.

Seeing that Star Wars was playing on the Television, Reuben's kids, Bea and Ezra, rushed down to watch with us only to realize they were not in for your typical Star Wars movie. They didn't last very long. Instead we quickly learned that this film is very much like the description of an unmade movie that came from the warped mind of Henry from the Last Podcast on the Left that's cast is primarily made up of Wookies without any subtitles to translate their myriad grunts and howls. George Lucas hated this movie so much that he tried to erase it from existence, but thanks to some villains on the internet you can still find it with all the original 1978 commercial breaks. You know the movie is extra bad when you start to look forward to the commercial breaks as a breather.

We tried to fill the void of this movie by talking about as much bullsh*t as we could. We drew comparisons to the Empire and the 3rd Reich, Mike gets a lesson in American consumerism when he's introduced to the Pillsbury Doughboy and Fruit of the Loom, we chatted about the "Golden Girls" and the brilliance that is Bea Arthur, and we do our best Wookie impressions which none come close to how good Ricky from Orange's is.

Additional shout outs go to Pete at the Good Beer Bad Movie Night for introducing us to the existence of this movie, Jonah from Jersey City and his conversation with Reuben about the silliness of Indiana Jones 2 and 4, and Elan from Jersey City for pointing out something hilarious from "Over the Top" that we egregiously missed out on.
