It's time for another showdown on holiday movie seasons. Again we pit the plucky year 1979 vs. the stuffy but solid work from 1989. How will "The Jerk" fare against "Christmas Vacation?" Is "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" good enough to give 1979 the edge, or does Back to the Future Part 2" put 1989 over the top? And why all the obsession over "The Black Hole?" Brad and Spearsy debate the issue.

Also this week, there's a Listener Email from Canada and another installment of "I Want My Mystery TV Theme Song."
