The End of the World with Michael and Stu
The Apocalypse is Everywhere. The End of the World with Michael and Stu is a (hopefully) insightful and (hopefully) humorous exploration of the rise of apocalyptic news, apocalyptic thinking and apocalyptic culture. Each week, we’ll be looking at a work of art, a piece of media, or an historical event related to the (hopefully not) impending End of the World.
The End of the World with Michael and Stu
Episode 48: Five Golden Rings
It's Christmastime and in celebration we are covering a brilliant Christmas movie, namely The 12 Disasters of Christmas. This film is...a disaster. A Christian allegory mixed with a Mayan Apocalypse 2012 tale that is somehow also based on the popular Christmas carol, The 12 Days of Christmas...it is...very, very bad. But our conversation about it? That is good...very, very good.
We also discuss Donald Trump's "imperialist turn" as expressed in his recently stated desire to purchase Greenland, reacquire the Panama Canal (by force if necessary?!), and annex Canada as the 51st state. It's going to be a wonderful next four years!
This episode contains spoilers for The 12 Disasters of Christmas, easily the worst movie we have covered...so far.
