It’s CHRISTMAS!!! 🎄🎅 And it’s just around the corner, which means Santa’s getting ready to drop off the gifts – and The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast is here to drop a festive episode in your stocking!

This time, we're bringing you our Christmas Special Draft. If you caught our Emma Stone draft, you know how this works: we’re each picking our top Christmas films for a specific category, all while trying to sabotage each other's choices along the way. It's a snake draft with random order – and when it comes to Christmas, everything’s fair in love and war!

We kick things off by chatting all things Christmas – from our favourite festive treats and time-honoured traditions to, of course, the best holiday movies. Then, we dive into the Draft, followed by a fun Christmas quiz hosted by Dale to see who’s the ultimate Christmas movie master.

Tis the season for some holiday cheer – and a little bit of chaos!

The categories for the Draft are:

• Classic Xmas Film (Pre 1990)
• Modern Xmas Film (Post 1990)
• Animated Xmas Film
• Comedy Xmas Film
• Non-Traditional Xmas film
• Free Pick

Now, who wins? Well, that’s up to you! We’ll be sharing our full picks on social media, where you can vote in polls to crown the winner of the Christmas Special Draft.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Review Series! In this episode, we’ll be finishing our review by covering Act 2 and Act 3, followed by our closing thoughts and scores.

As a reminder, we'll be breaking down the film act by act and scene by scene, scoring each film on a scale of 1 to 10. Time to find out where Prisoner of Azkaban measures up to our thoughts on the first 2 films...

The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast returns with the third instalment in our Review Series - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!

As per the last in this series, we've had to split this episode into 2 parts (expect this with future instalments moving forward). Part 1 covers Act 1, while Part 2 (which will be released tomorrow) picks up with Act 2 and wraps up with Act 3, along with our final thoughts and scores.

We'll be breaking down the film act by act and scene by scene, scoring each film on a scale of 1 to 10. We weren't as hot on Chamber of Secrets last time out, especially compared to Philosopher's Stone. But with a change of director and tone, you'll have to tune in tomorrow to see how Prisoner of Azkaban measures up!
