Haul Out the Holly

About this episode

The episode discusses the movie Haul Out the Holly, exploring its plot and characters.

After this year's Halloween special on Haul Out the Halloween, we realised that we'd already ruined the year, so why not do Haul Out the Holly for our Christmas show? It's not like it could get any worse. Friends, how wrong we were. Haul Out the Holly is the first of three Haul Out movies, and this one shows us how Emily Melrose (Lacey Chabert) came to Evergreen Lane in the first place. How did she end up with a 2.6 million dollar house in suburban Utah? How did she become obssessed with the holidays? And how did she end up in a romantic relationship with Jared, a man who can only become aroused by HOA regulations? The answers may surprise you! Because they are sinister and insane.
