19. Sophia Takal’s Black Christmas (2019)

Blumhouse Productions and Sophia Takal bring the feminism back to Black Christmas and… well, they really do it up. Imogen Poots and Cary Elwes go toe-to-toe in this college campus slasher/revenge/Buffy-style flick that's more of a set-piece upcycle than an actual reimagining of the original. If you’re trying to mask how fragile your masculinity is, you might want to skip this one, bro!

This episode is brought to you by Hawthorne University. At Hawthorne University, we only employ deeply unpleasant and unrealistic professors similar to the one Kevin Sorbo played in God’s Not Dead. If you want to make a fake point about a college-aged person struggling with whatever shitty point of view you have, consider getting your degree from Hawthorne University! Consider a minor in “Loathsome Things” to really spice up your diploma!
