2025 Christmas Spectacular And What's Giving Us Good Vibes | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 13

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are spiking the eggnog for a very special CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR, unwrapping the ultimate gift for movie lovers: a definitive ranking of the best Christmas movies of the 21st century. Curated entirely by the SEATED movie club, this audience-submitted list is a chaotic and joyful mix of Black holiday staples, mainstream modern classics, and perhaps a few controversial stocking stuffers. Tre'vell and Ray debate the rankings and defend their personal favorites. Do the new-school rom-coms hold a candle to the nostalgic heavy hitters, or is nostalgia doing a lot of the heavy lifting? Then, the competition heats up in a festive edition of Black Cinema Games, pulling deep cuts from critic Robert Daniels' essential Letterboxd list, "Home for the Holidays: Sixteen Black Christmas films to add to your rotation this winter." Tune in to find out which holiday flicks are truly "Seated" worthy this season! Plus, the hosts close out the year with a Good Vibes Only Christmas Spectacular, sharing the specific holiday movies that are keeping their spirits merry and bright.
