About this episode
The squad SLEIGHS the season with their Holiday pick, DEADLY GAMES (1989)! Does Thomas put Kevin McCallister to shame? Is Grandpa the true hero of the story? And, does this criminally under-watched holiday horror deserve a spot on your annual "nice" list? Tune in to find out if we gave this film a NAY, OKAY, YAY, or SLEIGH!
Happy Holidays from the It Slays Crew!
