December Updates and Holiday Cheer

The holiday season is in full swing, and we’ve been soaking up all the festivity here at So Many Sequels!

Josh is easing into the holiday spirit with a freshly decorated tree (done just in time) and an impressive stash of Christmas tree cakes. Garrett, meanwhile, has been cranking up the Christmas tunes with vinyl gems like A Charlie Brown Christmas and Ray Charles’ The Spirit of Christmas (bonus points for the Christmas Vacation connection).

We couldn’t help but reminisce about classic holiday commercials—the kind that stick with you for decades. Hershey’s "Jingle Bells" and M&M’s "They do exist" ads are timeless classics in our book. On the flip side, Coca-Cola’s new AI-generated ad? IT SUCKS.

Christmas Movies

Josh has been binging Netflix Christmas movies, including Our Little Secret and Haul Out the Holly. Both brought plenty of cheese, but The Christmas Quest, an Icelandic adventure with Hallmark vibes, stood out for its unique (if odd) mix of action and holiday cheer.

Non-Holiday Watches

Of course, it’s not all Christmas all the time. Josh caught Y2K, A24’s take on the Y2K panic, featuring Kyle Mooney’s weird ass. If you’re into bizarre but entertaining movies, this one’s for you. Josh loved it! Meanwhile, David revisited the 2001 Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie. Let’s just say it’s a trip down memory lane, complete with a young Daniel Craig.

Upcoming Features

Our holiday movie lineup is packed! We’re tackling Christmas with the Kranks, Eight Crazy Nights, and wrapping up the season with It’s a Wonderful Life. Is it truly the best Christmas movie of all time? We’ll let you know.

Box Office Highlights

On the big screen, Moana 2 continues to dominate, with Wicked holding strong at #2. A24’s Y2K and an IMAX re-release of Interstellar are duking it out for a spot in the top five. It’s been a great time for moviegoers!

Josh Gammon

Host, Producer

Josh Gammon is a Tulsa digital marketer by trade and a movie freak by nature. When he’s not cooking up campaigns at Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology, he’s co-hosting So Many Sequels, a podcast that's kinda like grabbing beers with friends who just get why you’re still mad about The Last Jedi.

For Josh, So Many Sequels is less of a podcast and more of a movie club where everyone’s invited. He and his co-hosts swap takes on everything from Spielberg classics to indie films your filmbro friend won’t shut up about. Episodes are packed with trivia, friendly chaos, and the kind of debates that’ll have you yelling at your phone.

When he’s off-mic, you’ll find him at AMC Theatres, Circle Cinema, the So Many Sequels Discord or deep in Reddit threads about obscure film lore. So, if you’ve ever wanted to geek out about your favorite movie, defend a controversial sequel, or just hear someone roast bad CGI…join us. Then slide into the comments. He’ll probably reply with a GIF.
