It’s our 3rd annual Christmas film episode ready for your lucky listening ears! Today we have a Psychocinematic first - a sister duo joining us, Emily & Heather McIntyre! Steph, Emily and Heather discuss the iconic new Netflix Christmas film charting Lindsay Lohan’s comeback - Falling for Christmas! Think we won’t have enough content to overanalyse in this one? THINK AGAIN!

Join us as we try to make sense of the films depiction of amnesia, why little Avy is constantly smiling, and why there are so many cheques.

CONTENT WARNING: Major physical accident, acquired brain injury, memory loss, loss of parent.
