In the second part of the holiday double feature, Shaun gets called out by Twitch Recap for being a self-groupie, cancels the 4000 word character limit for Twitter, and talks SZA'S new album "SOS", Lana Del Rey's new single and forthcoming record "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?", and Paramore's "The News" in the weekly music recap.

Wishing the listener a lovely holiday and a prosperous new year in 2023!

In this (somewhat) special two-part episode before the holidays, Shaun discusses El*n [redacted] Musk's Botgate, Taylor Swift's birthday, the rumored 1989 re-release, and Lindsay Lohan's new Christmas movie on Netflix: Falling for Christmas. The movie -- starring Lohan as an airhead heiress turned amnesiac -- weirdly has human traffick-y vibes but also has the gay ship not enough people are talking about! In a film where I could not care less about the leads having zero romantic chemistry (and a creepy undertone à la Chris Pratt's "Passengers"), I found hope in the daddy/pup pairing of her fiancé and his burly (and slightly problematic) savior in the unforgiving midwinter that would give even "Brokeback Mountain" a run for its gay for pay money...only for them not to commit.
