It is, instead, a cinematic catastrophe. John and Zac sit through Christmas in Wonderland (2007) so you absolutely don't have to: a film shot almost entirely inside West Edmonton Mall, starring a deeply confused Patrick Swayze, Tim Curry doing an inexplicable Scottish accent, Chris Kattan, and Carmen Electra. There is no discernible plot. There is a counterfeit money scheme. There is product placement so aggressive it crosses into performance art. There is CGI so bad it cannot be explained, defended, or understood. And yet — in the tradition of great bad cinema — there is something perversely compelling about watching professionals fail this completely. This is Zac's genuine pick for the worst movie he has ever seen. A must-listen for lovers of truly terrible films.</p><p><br></p><p>SHOW NOTES</p><p>Film: Christmas in Wonderland (2007)</p><p>Director: James Orr</p><p>Starring: Patrick Swayze, Tim Curry, Chris Kattan, Carmen Electra</p><p>Shot at: West Edmonton Mall, Edmonton, Alberta</p><p><br></p><p>Topics covered:</p><ul><li>The West Edmonton Mall as setting and co-star</li><li>- Tim Curry's inexplicable Scottish accent (never explained)</li><li>- The counterfeit money scheme (such as it is)</li><li>- CGI that should have stopped production cold</li><li>- The ethics of product placement at this level</li><li>- Patrick Swayze's confusion (shared by the audience)</li></ul><p>Fast Facts:</p><ul><li>This is the actual worst movie Zac has ever seen in his life</li><li>- It was filmed at West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta</li><li>- Tim Curry plays a villain with a Scottish accent for reasons nobody can explain</li></ul><p>Follow us on Instagram: @jazmakeapodcast</p><p>Listen on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Acast</p><p>Email: jazmakeapodcast@gmail.com</p>","author_name":"John and Zac"}
