The Christmas Cousins are back with a very special guest: renowned film critic and author Alonso Duralde! He’s here to talk about the newly revised and updated edition of his essential holiday classic Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas.

We dive into how this book can level up your holiday season (and maybe even convince Cousin Seth to finally start his Christmas movie homework). Along the way, we explore Alonso’s own origin story: how does one actually get paid to watch movies for a living? What’s it like to literally write the book on Christmas movies? And what’s next for him?

And, where exactly was Cousin Seth the whole time?!?
