Hey You Guys
A look back at the movies from our youth. The movies from the 80s and early 90s that defined a generation. Are they still awesome? Do they hold up for modern audiences? Was there a video game? Does the movies' legacy live on? All these questions will be answered and much more.
Hey You Guys
Violent Night
This week on Hey You Guys, we dive down the chimney into Violent Night (2022) — the gloriously unhinged Christmas action flick where David Harbour proves he was born to play a battle‑weary, Viking‑blooded Santa Claus. We talk booby traps that would make Home Alone’s Kevin McCallister proud (and slightly terrified), a sleigh-load of festive carnage, and why Harbour’s grumpy, hammer‑swinging Saint Nick is the gift that keeps on giving.
We also get into the film’s weaker links: John Leguizamo and his band of baddies, who never quite match the energy of their mythic opponent, and the terminally irritating wealthy family Santa is forced to save — a group so unlikeable you almost start rooting for the villains.
It’s messy, it’s merry, it’s miraculously fun. Grab your milk, cookies, and improvised weapons; this is one Christmas episode you won’t forget.
