In this spooktacular Christmas episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 1993 stop-motion film The Nightmare Before Christmas. 
Episode Highlights: We explore the beauty that is this film as well as work through the problematic, even racist elements of the movie. We talk about how much Foucault would have loved the panopticon promise of a jolly figure that sees you when you are sleeping and knows when you are awake...and they call him Sandy Claws. Anthony reveals some strange viewing habits, and we delight in the strangely conservative but utterly carnivalesque pageantry that are the holidays. 
A Dose of Scholarship: We discuss Beatrix Hesse's essay "Conservative and Countercultural Elements in Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas."
