Consider This from NPR - What makes a true Christmas movie?

What makes a movie a Christmas movie?

When the movie Die Hard was released on Blu Ray a few years back, the studio called it "the greatest Christmas story ever told!"

It does take place at an office Christmas party, but is that fact enough to make it a Christmas movie?

What about "Elf," "It's a Wonderful Life" or "Eyes Wide Shut" are those Christmas movies? Yes, right? NPR producer Marc Rivers says, "not so fast."

Just what makes any Christmas movie a true Christmas movie?

The Gist - Funny You Should Mention…Again – Nimesh Patel

Funny You Should Mention Episode One: Nimesh Patel. Over his career Nimesh Patel has gone from a comedian who wants to make points and jokes to a purely joke-oriented comic. He’s somewhat of the prefect comedian to kick off this series which looks at comedy routines as if they were an argument or an Op-ed. Nimesh has actually written Op-Eds for the NY Times. We discuss being kicked off stage at Columbia University, eviscerating the healthcare system when over a dozen of your cousins are doctors, and more about Indian President Narendra Modi than most conversations with comics usually include.


Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
