The Polar Express: Hot Chocolate? We Got It!

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are off on a magical adventure to the North Pole! We watched the 2004 film from Robert Zemeckis, The Polar Express.

We are curious, if we exhibit signs of doubting the existence of Santa Claus, does that mean we too can be whisked away by some version of Tom Hanks to be proven wrong? If that’s possible, then Santa who? What Claus?

That might not have been why our Hero Boy had his suspicions, but it sure as heck worked out well for him. He got to drink the tastiest hot chocolate ever! He made new friends! He met the real freaking Santa Claus! Lucky kid.
