Ho-Ho-Holiday Hot Takes: The Great ONB Holiday Debate
In this special holiday debate episode, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards unwrap a sleigh-full of nerdy Christmas controversies, fandom hot takes, and festive what-ifs. From asking the eternal question—“Is Die Hard actually a Christmas movie?”—to arguing whether the Grinch is secretly the hero of Whoville, Sean and Romi dive headfirst into the movies, games, and pop-culture moments that make the season merry and mildly infuriating.
The guys battle over which franchise truly captures the holiday spirit, which fictional universe throws the best Christmas party, and whether holiday DLC in video games is festive fun or corporate filler. They debate the greatest winter levels in gaming history and decide which video game character would make the most chaotic Santa imaginable.
Things get spicier than spiked eggnog as they fly through lightning-round hot takes with questions like: Did Christmas movies peak in the ’90s? Is Elf the last truly great holiday classic? Should every fandom be forced to make a Christmas special?
It’s festive. It’s nerdy. It’s unhinged.
It’s the ONB holiday chaos you didn’t know you needed under your tree.
