The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the annual debate in the cinephile community. Many a movie aficionado frequently asks, “Is this a Christmas Movie or Not?”

Well, The Gimme Three Podcast has you covered. On today’s episode, we examine three hotly debated films to answer the burning question once and for all.

• We start with Billy Wilder’s classic 1960 Romantic Dramedy The Apartment.
• Next, Christmas time comes to Gotham City in Tim Burton’s sinister sequel, Batman Returns.
• Finally - the film that seems to spark the most debate about whether or not it is a Christmas film - Die Hard.

We get to the bottom of all of it. But, of course, we’d love to hear your thoughts as well. After hearing our arguments - what’s your stance? Are these Christmas movies or not?

We’ve made it to Episode 50! Join us as we celebrate our 50th episode by revisiting some of the most beloved classics from 1974—these films are celebrating their 50th anniversary.

1974 was an unforgettable and impactful year in cinema - but we picked three films that not only defined their genres but also helped define American cinema for decades to come.

• We open with the equally poignant and brash Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles.
• Second, we explore the neo-noir thriller Chinatown and one of the most unforgettable endings in cinematic history.
• Finally, we examine the genre-defining horror film Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in depth.
• Producer Sonja Mereu graces us with Sonja’s Movie Minute as she revisits Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award-Winning film, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.

Let us know what your favorite film from 1974 is.

We greatly appreciate your support through our first 50 episodes and look forward to the next 50!
