Round 2: 'A Very Murray Christmas' and Songs of the Season

With Christmas just a certain number of days away that Terri refuses to acknowledge, it seemed like a good time to take a look at some TV and tunes of the season. Combining both those things is Netflix's A Very Murray Christmas, in which Bill Murray and an appropriately random gathering of celebrities put together exactly the kind of offbeat Christmas special you'd expect to be directed by Sofia Coppola. Thanks to the generosity of her podcast-mates, Netflix newbie Terri was able to watch it instead of just listening to Catherine describe it, and they give it two thumbs up, with particular kudos to performances of "Fairytale of New York," "Alone on Christmas Day," and a George Clooney-enhanced "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'." They then moved on for a chat about holiday music in general, what we're hearing on the radio and TV, and what constitutes a "contemporary" Christmas song.
