How much more appetizing food always becomes when you add the word "log."

What's this? Christmas in May? Well this is what happens when you plan way in advance. You end up recording a Christmas episode in December but releasing it in Spring. But who cares? We could all use a little Christmas spirit throughout the year. Nobody more, than the miserable wretch that Ben Stiller plays in this week's film of the week!

01:30 Intro

04:00 Frasier Talk: Frasier blows up with Martin and ends up in almost ruining his Christmas. But a turkey log, some ripped denims and some Christmas spirit might just save the day.

14:30 Ben Stiller Talk: He was a comedy legend of the late 90s but of late he's switched his focus to behind the camera. Yes - everyone loves Severance - but do you know how and why he got into the business in the first place?

28:00 Permanent Midnight Talk: This is absolutely NOT a Christmas film!

"God, I wish I'd fired you when I had the chance!"

Frasier's big-mouth strikes again - he blabs and gets Bob Bulldog Briscoe's butt bounced right outta the bloody building. Too many b-word's, the last one was a reach. Anyway, that's the show this week and our focus, INCREDIBLY, is on Jay Leno this time! Leno made one feature film performance in his career, outside of his talk show. It was opposite Pat Morita in the film COLLISION COURSE. A white whale of a film to track down. But I did. And my God... If you have not seen it. Brace yourself!

03:13 Frasier Talk: We get introduced to the whole gang from KACL in this Bulldog-centric episode!

10:36 Jay Leno Talk: Forget the film world, I delve into the genuinely fascinating Tonight Show Conflict which saw Conon O'Brien and Jay Leno at odds with one another!

24:55 Collision Course Talk: The film so bad it put Jay Leno off acting for life. Easy to see why, but it's without doubt a must watch for anyone with a passing interest in film. That ending!!!
