The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

The Santa Clause trilogy is now complete! Last year Mike and Allyson tackled the first two movies in the Tim Allen Christmas franchise, but had to tap out. This year, they finish the saga of Scott Calvin with The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.

Will this be more akin to the original Star Wars trilogy or will it be more like the most recent trilogy where it suffers the laws of diminishing returns? Can comedy legend Martin Short's Jack Frost be magnetic enough to save the film? Will the chemistry of Alan Arkin and Ann-Margaret be the scene stealing energy needed to bring this trilogy to a smooth landing? Will we have more creepy Tim Allen robots? How well will Spencer Breslin fill David Krumholtz's elf shoes?

Art LaFleur, Aisha Tyler, Kevin Pollak, Michael Dorn, Jay Thomas, and Peter Boyle are all back.

Elizabeth Mitchell surprisingly gets her own character arc and isn't swept aside even though she was arguably the strength of The Santa Clause 2. Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, Liliana Mumy, and Eric Lloyd are all back as well.

Will The Santa Clause 3 be an unexpected hit despite it's dismal performance at the box office, or will this be the movie that ruins Christmas for Mike and Allyson?

Married comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt are 11 years apart and have vastly different tastes in movies. Each week they go back and forth and make the other watch a movie they've never seen before.

If you want to let us know what you thought about this weeks movie, or you have a movie you think we should watch, let us know.
