The body language of Crystal at the beginning of the Blumhouse Black Christmas movie review before her rant was hilarious.

[@DryptosaurusDavid]

I felt her anger!!!

[@Samsquamsh]

Ya'll obviously missed the last half of the show. She gets hella triggered.

[@Beavis-ej3ny]

My theory is that the 2019 movie was made to be a non-Christmas related movie that had nothing to do with the source material, but the studio needed to release it during the holidays so it was re-written to be Christmas related and just disregarded the original film.

[@chyannaturner9110]

Sadly this was a planned Xmas movie but Jason Blum got full of himself and fast tracked it

[@Anthonycheesman33]

I think you are right considering the movie was announced in July and came out in like 4 months lol .

[@jacksonscott690]

Black Christmas 2019 is the worst. I’ll never forget seeing people leaving the theater. One by one. Someone actually screamed “why is this movie so bad?” and it made the audience laugh. Eventually, my friends and I left as well. It’s hard to think of a worse remake. Seeing Crystal worked up over it is awesome.

[@lutherheggs451]

It could have literally been called anything. I don't know why they decided to call it Black Christmas, alot of things that involved christmas movies could have literally been swapped out for whatever the idiot pop emo cutter kids are listening to now and you would have never noticed. All 3 are crap, it just so happens that the original is kinda watchable and the 2006 movie is mildly watchable. The 2019 could have just been some tween college party "revenge" flick full of jump scares and the hip kewl tween music.

I'm so glad I didn't bother going to see it. I saw the trailer at the cinema and at that point, I'd started to really appreciate the original. But the trailer gave away too much, like who the killer is and I didn't bother. And after I heard how bad it was, I was so glad I never watched it. I've never asked for my money back from a film, but I honestly think I would have if I went to see it.. Also I refuse to call it a remake. It's not a remake. It's title theft.

[@marniekilbourne608]

I screamed that myself earlier today not even halfway through and then I just turned it off! It's pretty rare that there is a movie so bad and infuriating that I can't finish the it! I hate it so much.

[@Merit2397]

I was so glad that Crystal, Johanna, and Tony tore Black Christmas 2019 a new one because it has got to be the WORST HORROR REMAKE EVER!! It's an insult to my favorite slasher, the original 1974 Black Christmas and it makes the 2006 remake look almost like a great send up by comparison.

[@RazorOfTheBlade1]

Kinda shocked they didn’t talk about the clear age difference between the bother/father and daughter/sister who looked waaaaaay older, also who apparently was played by a man.

[@wstine79]

Now this is an awesome Christmas gift. Tony, Crystal, and Johanna talking about the Black Christmas movies. And Crystal's "annoyed" reactions are why I like her.

[@randomreviews4278]

Of course it's the 2019 one

[@Frank_D]

I haven't seen the original yet. I actually forgot that I'd seen 2006, but I will never forget 2019. It is so hell-bent on beating the audience over the head with its message. I'm honestly glad I saw it on HBO because while I technically paid to see this with my HBO subscription, it was something I was already paying for anyway, so in a way I didn't really pay to see this, if that makes sense. Overall I don't think there's any salvaging this movie, but the bust was the biggest fucking copout. Your villains should be villains. If anything, by making them victims in their own right, they dilute the message the movie is trying to convey. Yes, we do live in a society where men do not have a healthy relationship with sex because their value is tied to it, and that is similar to brainwashing, but men still have the agency to control themselves. By making them brainwashed to the point where it forces them to do things they normally wouldn't, it takes away their culpability. Furthermore the existence of the bust calls into question the actions of the main characters in this story. Knowing full well these men are brainwashed, they still don't see a problem with murdering them, instead of trying to break the hold that it has over them. We know the hold can be broken because they were able to save that one guy whom the main character kind of liked.

BC 2019 is not only the worst Black Christmas movie BY FAR, but it may legitimately be the worst horror movie PERIOD. I've seen an insane amount of horror movies and I can't think of a single one that I wouldn't watch over BC 2019.

[@kshinokevin]

John Saxton was in the classic Bruce Lee (Warner Brothers/Golden Harvest) film, "Enter The Dragon (1973)."

[@kurtcobain279489]

The original will always be a favourite of mine with it's subtle nuance and suspenseful holiday lit atmosphere, the scene of Jess being confronted by the killer behind the door sent chills up and down my spine the first time I saw it and cemented it as an annual holiday watch in my household. And as terrible as they both were, I'd honestly say the 2019 version is just slightly better than the 2006 version, I agree it's way too heavy handed with it's message and values but at least it wasn't a Weinstein pissing contest to see how much they could shit all over the originals actual terror in favour of making it just another gore filled remake like everything else that was coming out at the time, for it's originality alone the 2019 version stomps the 2006 version to ground so hard the eyes came flying out of it's skull (ironically enough).

[@jemofthe80s18]

Even Glen Morgan, Wendy, and Ms. Lewton couldn't make me enjoy the 2006 version, and I never even BOTHERED with 2019. BUT the ORIGINAL...R.I.P. Bob Clark and John Saxon!! I LOVE Lt. Fuller the most but like all of the characters, the look and music and atmosphere, and how Billy is SO perfect as literally just some random guy who climbs into an attic, WALKS AROUND IN THE HOUSE WITH NOBODY SEEING HIM, and makes all kinds of noise that people hear but nobody investigates:) And we never find out who he even IS or where he belongs! I WISH that John Carpenter had made 'Halloween' as a sequel because everything Michael does in the first movie makes perfect sense if it's Billy! He's just INSANE, he WOULD go from obscene calls and talking to himself and freaking out to being completely silent, trailing people, and standing in the dark just watching;) It's too bad it didn't work out that way with Lt. Fuller looking for him, Dr. Loomis still being his doctor who warned the hospital not to release him because he was just showing them what they wanted to see, and Fuller having married Jess and raised her baby to protect them:) PLUS, I like that she seems as if she once babysat Laurie Strode and is a final girl who's PREGNANT and LIVES.

Crystal & Johanna always make the show better. I never even saw the latest version because it just looked dumb. Any slasher movie thats PG-13 is not worth my money.

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

Are they not going to mention Bob Clark's role (uncredited) directing Blonde and Blonder (2008)? They're probably saving that fun fact for the Blonde & Blonder coverage episode. They can't overlook that classic Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards film forever. Perhaps they'll do a Dean Anderson filmography with Strike a Pose (1993), Savage Land (1994), and Dream Team (1999). It'll be fun to see them try to keep that discussion family friendly.
