S15 Ep775: Ernest Saves Christmas

We Hate Movies

“The answer to almost all questions we’re gonna ask here is: it’s Florida” - Chris, on the Ernest-related insanity in this movie
On this special Christmas Eve episode, we’re chatting about the silly Christmas cult fave, Ernest Saves Christmas! Why did this old Santa wait so long to give up his Santa power? What’s with Ernest hiding that “Keep the CHRIST in Christmas” bumper sticker in his glove box? Should Ernest even have a driver’s license? Is Santa sad over the fact his home country of Prussia dissolved in the late 1940s? And should this teen girl really be sleeping over at Ernest’s bungalow? PLUS: Ernest criticizes the Jedi’s bad human trafficking habits!
Ernest Saves Christmas stars Jim Varney, Oliver Clark, Noelle Parker, Gailard Sartain, Billie Bird, Bill Byrge, Robert Lesser, and Douglas Seale as Santa; directed by John Cherry.
