Cat Matthews' Midnight Therapy

Midnight Therapy #77 - Christmas Special!

Cat Matthews

Episode 77 is a Christmas special, reflecting on the season from the Midnight Therapy mic — diving into the most annoying parts of Christmas shopping, crowded stores, forced cheer, and how the chaos somehow still leaves room for meaning. 

We also talk about how streaming services are quietly gatekeeping the classic claymation Christmas specials, and why that nostalgia actually matters more than people realize.

From there, the episode turns toward gift-giving — how it’s undeniably more magical for children, yet still deeply meaningful for adults when done with intention.

The conversation then slows down and centers on Jesus Christ and why He remains the heart of Christmas. We reflect on two timeless films — A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life — and why their messages of redemption, sacrifice, gratitude, and unseen impact feel especially relevant right now.

From there, it shifts into a current-events recap, touching on:

Rob Reiner and modern moral grandstanding
The reality that evil exists in the world, and how evil itself cannot create — only good can preserve the holiday spirit

The flaws of the Trump administration and the hypocrisy surrounding backlash to Trump’s comments — especially when similarly grotesque behavior was excused on the left following Charlie Kirk’s brutal death.

We also unpack a Vanity Fair article, internet outrage culture, and the fixation on a zoomed-in photo of Karoline Leavitt, before discussing Erika Kirk and Candace Owens, the disingenuous feel of the recent Turning Point event, and how Nicki Minaj has suddenly become the poster child for conservative femininity.

The episode closes with a reminder that there are many malicious shepherds out there — influencers, leaders, personalities — all trying to guide you a certain way. But there is only one Good Shepherd, and that Shepherd is Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Thank you for 100 subscribers.

We’ll see you after Christmas.
