Episode notes
It's a movie based on the old joke, about a dyslexic who sold his soul to Santa. This time, however, it's a kid (Robert Timothy Smith) who writes his letter to Santa with a crucial piece of misspelling, so that the devilish Jack Black turns up that night offering him three wishes in return for his soul.
But is it worth eternal damnation to watch this one? Well, to find out, your host Helen O'Hara (@HelenLOHara) sits down with author and comedian Marc Burrows (@20thCenturyMarc) to talk demons, wishes and what exactly this film could have done better.
If you want to read or hear more from Helen, you can order her book "Women Vs Hollywood: The Fall and Rise of Women in Film" which is out now in The UK .
