Rudolph 1964: Holiday Movie Hot Takes, Rankin-Bass Secrets & Winter Solstice Magic

🎄 Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Why does Rudolph feel like a fever dream? In this episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane and Coco, we dive headfirst into holiday classics, pop culture debates, and the wild backstories behind your favorite festive films. From Joe Bob Briggs giving us the ultimate social media flex to the Rankin-Bass stop-motion universe, this conversation is equal parts nostalgic and controversial.
We unpack why Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has been running since 1964, explore its hidden themes (yes, we said “North Pole communism”), and debate whether Santa’s sleigh is powered by collectivism. Plus, Coco shares her magical Winter Solstice retreat and tips for finding Reiki healers, while Blane reveals his holiday chaos with kids, Snoop on a Stoop, and the ultimate Christmas movie hot takes.
