I’m not some fluff entertainment reporter, guys. I set my gaze on the dark corners of the biz others fear to countenance. I ask the tough questions. I find the grim answers no one wants to hear, but which the public must hear. I’m the guy you call up when you need an investigation of how, just how, the movies managed to take Santa Claus from “fat, jolly old elf” to “skull-crushing action hero.”
Blame Fox News and that whole “war on Christmas” shit. There you have it. But don’t stop there: Read my full, thorough examination of the action Santa trend, published at Polygon.
