Technically this is my last show of the year, so here are the year-end stats! Juts as a reminder, you can access all these stats and a list of all the movies I have shown in The Forum, where you can use your Glibs name and password to see the seamy underbelly of the Glibs world.

We continue a downward trend. I renegotiated my contract with STEVE SMITH to ensure I do not get a visit until I drop below 50 comments in a post. As a precaution I already had a safe room put in the newly built Stately R.J. Manor.
Most Popular Films
- 2025: Born Invincible (post date 06/12/2025, 203 comments) – A basic Kung Fu film won the day! Who would have guessed?
- 2024: Evil Roy Slade (post date 03/07/2024, 235 comments) – Technically, The Cheerleaders is the all time highest comment count ever, at 334. HOWEVER, the real reason is because it was the night of the presidential debate. Nobody was there to watch that trashy film. So I threw that result out. Evil Roy always wins!
- 2023:If You Don’t Stop It, You’ll Go Blind (post date 07/27/2025, 315 comments) – This was almost beat out by Space Monster Wangmagwi that year.
- 2022: Punch the Clock (post date 07/14/2022, 265 comments) Great film. Worth watching if you did not see it the first time.
- 2021: Deathgasm (post date 10/21/2021, 318 comments) One of the first horror/comedies I posted.
Since GlibFlicks started, the winners have been an art house film, a kung fu film, a Skinemax film, a horror/comedy and Evil Roy Slade. That’s more diverse than I expected. Now with that out of the way, lets get to tonight’s movies!
Since this is the only holiday episode I will host this year, I am doing a double feature! One dystopian comedy and one horror/comedy! The titles are the links to the movies, both of which are on Tubi. On with the show!
Get Santa
Have you heard of this? Chances are you have not. This is the story of how the British police arrested Santa and threw him in jail, ruining Christmas. Quite honestly this would be a reality today. A former getaway driver on parole has to rescue him. Santa tries to imitate a hardened criminal while behind bars, there is plenty of execrable British civil servants, and overall I always enjoy watching this film. Trivia (or observation): This has Warwick Davis as a criminal behind bars who meets Santa and is mistaken for an elf. Overall, an enjoyable Christmas film with farting reindeer and government officials that are a little too close to reality.
The Mean One
Posted blind! A contribution from our own BethAnnica! Yes, it is a comedy/horror film based on The Grinch. It gets a healthy 4.0 out of 10 on IMDB, which is not bad for a modern horror/comedy. It looks like The Grinch, you get lines like “Time to roast his beast!” And there is a little Cindy who is all grown up for most of the movie (and does her own stunts!). I haven’t watched it, and won’t see it until this posts on the 18th. Thank you or curse you BethAnnica! We’ll find out on the 18th!
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Every Thursday this month is a party, so should you hate these films, join Glib the family Zoom and talk about how your garden is buried in snow. C’mon! If you are a lurker, come see us! I really am green. Maybe it sill inspire you to join Glibs. There are no rules on Thursdays! I will see you all in 2026. I will be taking a break on Christmas Day to enjoy being with my family, my guess is it will be an open post, unless Neph has movie plans…
Merry Christmas!!
And the same to you!
Daughter’s birthday is tomorrow. I am taking the day off. This is my Friday night
Happy birthday junior green head!
I meant to ask you.
Does your species bud, bifurcate, go through spore formation, have two sexes, three, do you lay your eggs in a host like a person’s puppeteer? I have so many questions.
Three door, rumor has it that the process involves asexual cellular division and screaming.
It should always involve some screaming if you’re doing it right.
*unzips*
Oh my!
Happy Chanukkah!!
They should come up with a word that sounds more Jewish than “happy”.
Where’s OMWC when you need him?
Probably working on their space lasers.
I will neither confirm nor deny plans for next week.
Don’t blame you. Maybe an open post with the Zoom link.
ICE deports Santa? Someone must have made that by now.
Or struck by a missile leaving Venezuela as a “suspected drug sleigh bound for the U.S.”
Trust Full Moon Productions. They will have something by next year.
Im doing Peanuts again but now with piano! A few more touches and its ready
Maybe a pcture?

Looks good. If you had a couple of carefully spaced lawn spots, it would really light that up.
I can work on that, heck Im doing it now, night helps, and I have more lighting
Words cannot express how excited I am for everyone to experience bootleg Grinch.
I finally got one of your suggestions posted!
I’m sorry for not posting more comments.
Granted, most of my movie viewing is more “traditional”.
“Ted S. on June 28, 2024 at 7:10 am
The debate brought a lot more comments to an overnight post here than in ages.”
Prophetic.
I like the TCM stuff. I watched plenty of old black and white movies when I was taking care of my mom.
You don’t have to post about these movies, Ted! There are no rules on Thursdays! Tell me about what you’re watching lately, or about any Christmas plans.
For Kevin, there’s Raquel Welch as a roller derby star in Kansas City Bomber, although it doesn’t seem to be on Tubi.
The Betsy, which you might find amusingly bad.
That is, as you can tell from the link, The Betsy is on Tubi.
Is the number of comments indicative of how popular a movie is?
It’s all I have. I refuse to use AI and mine the comments for sentiments.
No, don’t do that.
Maybe it’s the opposite. Rage is all the rage these days.
I think I’ll pick the Grinch thing.
And here I am checking out the zoom and it’s empty. So lonely here. I may just get in the shower by myself.
I take that back I’m bringing a beer with me.
+1 Paul Newman
I do t think Newmans Own salsa would work well in the shower. Chips
certainly do not.
I may finish the beer before the shower, I’m trying to get a load of socks together and my six toed cat steals the kids socks. The kids take their clothes off wherever they damn well please and then complain about not having any socks.
I used to love a shower beer after we would do a 12 mile hump with 90 pound packs.
We didn’t do those often, but it would usually be at 0430 on a Friday and we would be done around noon or earlier and then we were released for the weekend.
I remember once I got home and grabbed a beer, wife and kids were at the library and then they came in and my 4 year old yelled “Mom, dad is drinking beer already!”
Kid needed to learn to be more stoic. 😉
I ate pizza in the shower at Benning one evening, with about 25 of my closest friends. Some had clothes on, some did not. We started singing “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”, the TAC cracked up and walked away, shaking his head.
No pogie allowed in the barracks but still… GIs are GIs and hungry in the evenings.
$20 and Winston’s Mom will join you.
Shower sex is over rated.
Just sink wash your unit. Beer in hand, no need to stop.
The classic “air force shower”
Wash under each wing and the cockpit.
The airforce always has the best billets. I’m surprised they skimp on showers.
I’ve neck deep at work. I’ll watch these later.
Thanks RJ! This has been a great feature to have on the site.
I hope you get it resolved soon. Overnighters suck.
No Hebrew Hammer?
Never again. 4 years in a row is enough.
For every Chanukkah movie there are a gazillion xmas movies.
Don’t make me post your promise to give us Hebrew Hammer for Chanukah.
I just learned Mr. Brain’s Faggots is a food in England!
uber.com??
Still is from Uber Eats I think.
“Pork Faggot” is an awesome Glibs handle.
Ooooh! “With CLASSIC west country sauce” … As opposed to them abby normal east enders, eh, guv?
If yer not gonna have yer faggots in sauce, they aren’t worth havin’ lad!
I prefer to smoke my fags out back. Probably more than 20 pounds, these sad, new days.
Get those faggots in my mouth!
Relevant?
That’s one of the funnier things I’ve seen from the onion in decades. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FtW7eaSvd6A
Posted late to ded thread. Advice and ears sought: Job interview tomorrow. First time anyone’s replied in a year+ other than that scam I nearly fell for. Company is “Mortgage Freedom” (Fishers, IN) and would start in Jan. “Document Management Specialist,” which is Millennial Speak for, uh, Mail Room Gopher? Most is easy enough. Two mysteries in job descript:
*”Review documents for accuracy, update system with received information.” From proofreading to address checking and more?
*”Create and manage reports.” (What reports? WTF would *I* create?)
Will ask /be told. The rest is mail room secretary shit: scanning images; “sort and prepare docs for shipping;” File, organize docs
Pros: * Mon-Fri, 8-430. Having a wknd opens social avenues I currently lack. Normal sched. Sleep. Good!
* Puts me on-site w ‘professionals.’ *Theoretical foot in some door. *Sounds much better than Walmart (Such social distaste. Grrrg)
Cons: * Still low pay. Not listed, but research shows *maybe* $15/hr, over $14 now. Not apt $ here. $18+ is goal.
Terrible employee reviews, including Fishers; 2+ “Don’t work here, nationwide,” Micromanagement is biggest complaint. Talk of factory, quota-style docs per-day; mandatory overtime for missed days, work; layoffs w no notice; bad training;
So. The neg reviews were pretty consistent, even in Fishers and w my job title. The pay will be the biggest question, but the schedule change is big. And just doing something *different,* tho I’ll miss Crush n moving factory work, vs Desk factory work.
Thoughts would be appreciated, especially if you’ve heard of Freedom Mortgage. They’re pretty big, I’m sure negative things have been heard here, as well.
A jobs a job. As long as it’s not illegal or unethical, work it until you find something better or they fire you.
Mail room gopher or data entry clerk (from either physical or electronic documents) is what it sounds like. Creating reports could be filling out form letters or clicking the summarize button for the data you’re entering. Nbd. Job reviews make it sound like it’ll be production heavy. Train you for a short time, throw you on your own. Either you keep up or they call you into the side office for a chat and walking papers. Also, nbd.
Thanks. That’s what my read is, as well. Biggest question is the pay, frankly. Current gig has a terrible schedule but is remarkably stress free. If I didn’t need money and to bounce upward, it’d be my ideal job. (Perfect for old folk.)
I’m not sure the same pay would be worth far more production-required in that context. Data entry is something I’ve been looking into, and transcription. If it’s a foot into that door, that’d be fantastic. The employer and title *seem* to help me out for how my resume looks to an outsider, methinks but doesn’t know. It seems like a big boost, though they only require a GED.
As of now, however, even if it is $15, I’ll take the gig if they offer it, barring something rather unforeseen. (More $ than now.) I’ll tell Walmart about it and try to ingratiate myself so they’d put me at the top of the re-hire list in case things go very astray.
Mail room gopher? If he just bangs his aunt it would be the secret to his succuss!
Hrmmm… were this gopher under such duress, I’m confident I’d burrow deep into her hole.
I wonder how many giraffes that is, adjusted for Midwest sensibilities. It seems low to me but I don’t know how many Big Macs that can buy there.
Bus driver in my town is paying around 26 bucks an hour, FWIW. Costs are horribly distorted here due to leftism, though.
Still, maybe the sort of work to consider?
$15 – so, less than downtown?
Seriously though, it’s probably $15 plus benes, which is nice if it gets you health insurance for reasonable cost.
I’ve had 21 jobs in the past 24 years. Got fired from 8 of them, if I remember correctly. The best career advice I ever heard is from this guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc1IVoMxc
My gist: if they keep paying me, I will keep showing up.
oops, wrong link

I found out once or twice that the grass only seemed greener on the other side of the fence. Only you know how carefully you want to tree.
Tred.
@rhy: I’m excited by a Wendy’s breakfast whopper w fried egg at $5. (Very!)
The driving route would be ideal. (Was a JJohns deliver driver btw hs and IU.) Epilepsy and the one ‘tremor’ that kinda led to a crash (no other car nor injuries), I should shy away.
If they account for Fishers swankyness, they pay more.
I’ll find out more tomorrow at 12:15. Thanks y’all. Always eager to hear what I can.
Bad rep for the company? I wouldn’t get excited unless the interview went well. Ask lots of questions if you get one. If nothing else, it’s more interview practice.
Santa Claus The Movie is available on Tubi. The producers behind Superman The Movie, with an origin story for Santa and Dudley Moore and John Lithgow pretty much doing the plot to Elf minus the father son part 20 years before Elf.
Oh yes. That is there.
Get Santa is far less known so I went with that. I saw it twice this season and it is a good movie with authoritarian undertones.
Just found out this week that they remade Silent Night Deadly Night. Always fucking with the classics. And reading that Wikilink they already remade it once before. For fuck sake.
Not sure what to make of this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc1IVoMxc
Blech.
That’s actually pretty cool. Huh. He looks like the singer from Eve 6. Not earth-shattering, but a fairly underrated band.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians – great title, awful movie, immortal legacy
I discussed that with Neph.
Watching the Grinch one; that deputy gets more horny for this chick the more damaged he finds her to be, odd.
Sometimes I try and get my wife to watch these, sometimes I don’t, but even she enjoyed Evil Roy Slade. She also enjoyed Spirit of ’76, even though she wouldn’t initially admit it.
Have her watch “Get Santa.”
I live such a charmed life. last weekend it was set to get below -10, so I left my shower and faucet open just a bit. My water stopped and I thought it was frozen. Got above freezing the last couple days and water didn’t come back. Turns out the pump burned out I found out today. Now I’m sitting here drinking watching this grinch movie and my furnace stopped. Fuck me, I’ll kill myself trying to get in the basement, just have to hope the space heater makes it the night.
Yikes. Don’t wait too long to hit up a neighbor with a working furnace if need be.
45° here. T-shirt weather for a change.
I tried to crack a window earlier to combat the insane static electricty that plauges this joint but it got too cold.
That was not an issue in NYC because every apartment is overheated and everyone leaves a window cracked.
Here it’s like crack a window, and freeze your ass off.
Oh no.
Our power went out yesterday around 11am. Didn’t come back on till 4am today.
One time when it went out, drunk special person from the local special people reservation, ran off the road and hit a telephone poll. That slow moving short fried my well controller which set my back $1200 or something.
At least with those temps you won’t lose anything in the fridge if the power goes out too.
Doin’ it well, even.
The Brown thing is suspect… Very convenient
The whole story is strange as shit. Most mass shooters off themselves or get killed by the cops. They have no getaway plan and if they do, it usually fails and the cops finish the job at or very close to the scene. At least in the big headline grabbing ones that we read about.
They initially looked at a guy from Wisconsin. Like, why…? What led the investigation there in the first place?
The FBI claimed there was no threat to the Brown campus or nearby area after the shooting. Wanted people to get back to business as usual, but this guy did in fact go on to continue killing.
Guy is here on a student visa from 2000-2017? But left his program after less than a year? And was doing what for the entire time? Rents a storage locker because…? And is found dead in the one next to his?
Patel got cover after the Kirk shooting. People were too fixated on the leftwing reaction to really dwell on his sloppy investigation and as far as I can tell because I’m not delving into that world, even Candace Owens and the conspiracy grifters on this don’t seem to have aimed their ire at him.
But this investigation was badly mishandled. Are the career agents trying to make him look bad? Just out to lunch? Or is this really the level of professionalism they give the most high profile case they have to investigate at this specific moment? Like, I think as little of the FBI as most people, this entire thing was a joke. The case was solved by fucking Reddit. And not through some autistic nerd shit like 4chan has done in the past, but by some random asshole in the area posting about a suspicious vehicle near the scene that they personally witnessed but which the FBI couldn’t manage to track down on their own.
From the looks of just the investigation, they seem to rely entirely on mass surveillance systems to catch people these days. The cameras at Brown were turned off for reasons and the guy made it so the easy ways to track his phone wouldn’t work. But they’re acting like this guy was a criminal mastermind. Dude was hiding out in a nearby storage unit. Like WTF mate. WTF.
When is the last time the Feebs actually tracked done someone?
They either kill themselves or a peasant notices the guy and rats them out.
Dreamy insurance shooter hung out in a McD’s with the murder weapon for hours. Dreamy marathon bomber eluded Boston’s Strongest Dunkin Eaters, McVeigh got pulled over for speeding, they never did catch the anthrax guy, they just named a dead person as a suspect and closed the case. They still haven’t caught one of the CHAZ shooters, D.B Cooper is still unaccounted for…
Morning, Glibs.
RJ, I wouldn’t measure the popularity of an article by comment count. If a real world event happens, people with chatter a lot on whatever the active article is.
Good morning, my fellow conspiracy theorists!
🫢🥓🌨️
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsD4cSPlcU8
🎶🎶
what about the rest of us?
I have a theory …
An Internet Theory?
I’ll slap whatever label I want on you, buddy.
I insist on accuracy.
Good morning, Sean, U, Roat, and Ted’S.!
Morning, GT.
*scritches* before you have to evict the cat.
It’s hard to not give into conspiratorial thinking when all the official narratives are nonsense.
The problem is, most conspiracy theories require vastly greater competence from those claimed to be involved than can be supported by the available evidence.
Sure and it doesn’t help that many of of the CTs are nuts. The rabbit hole people have gone down with the Kirk shooting when it was fairly obviously the furry-banger has been a sight to behold.
Woke up early to the wife baking bread … also needy cat.
See my song link…
Strange euphemisms, but you do you.
I wake up to a needy cat almost every day. He’s going to be sorely disappointed when I put him off my lap to go get my coffee (that is, I have to get my coffee. He refuses to do it for me.) after I finish my overnight oats. 🙄🐱👤
(that is, I have to get my coffee. He refuses to do it for me.
That’s what your orphans are for.
Re: Needy cats: I have two, and I tend to go to sleep at night lying on my back with a cat tucked under each arm.
You win. (We are cruel and shut them out of the bedroom at night. If we don’t shut the bedroom door early enough in the evening, I sometimes have to drag Ninja Cat out from under the bed where he’s lurking, biding his time…)
News you don’t need
Movies get toys and toys get movies. At least it’ll give The Critical Drinker subject matter for some videos.
Where’s the Pog movie? They were about as relevant as these chinese crap dolls.
I look forward to the gaudy merchandising of the Animal Farm movie.
Is one of the pieces of merch a bottle of glue?
I watched the first few minutes of that out of morbid curiosity the other day and I could not change the channel to something, anything else fast enough.
Break #1 on an exciting day. Bounce outta here at 9, dentist at 10. Then a job interview at 12:15. Then should be some time w Mini-Mi nephew, 5yo.
Work thru Mom, then Tues off but on Christmas Eve. Then Xmas off til New Years. Could be my last week at Walmart.
Interesting Times, I am in. Onward, festive Glibbies.
What about the rest of us?

Good morning everybody!
It should not rain in the winter. Especially when it disrupts the Christmas snow cover.
Where are you supposed to get the glaze ice from if it doesn’t rain?
Ice storms!
*Reminisces about Oklahoma*
Freezing rain is still rain.
You need to experience a good ice storm.
I did. It stole three of my favorite childhood trees.
