About this listen
Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into FATMAN (2020) — the unholy collision of Christmas cheer and hard-edged action starring Mel Gibson as a battle-worn Santa Claus and Walton Goggins as a vengeful hitman.
In this episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast, we break down why Fatman feels like the gritty fake action movie advertised inside Scrooged, how Walton Goggins absolutely carries the film, and why this version of Santa is closer to Superman than a slasher villain.
Before the review, Johnny reacts to 2025 Christmas trends including:
The rise of vintage 1990s Christmas aesthetics
Why Christmas trees are getting smaller
The bizarre popularity of holiday whiskey gimmicks
Why roe > caviar at holiday parties (we said what we said)
Plus:
Christmas movie chart shifts (Elf, The Grinch, Home Alone)
Thoughts on the Silent Night, Deadly Night remake
Why Fatman doesn’t quite kill Santa — and why that matters
Deep lore questions: is Santa powered by goodwill… or force?
If you’re building your Christmas movie watchlist, curious about Santa action movies, or burned out but still searching for something rowdy, weird, and holiday-adjacent — this episode’s for you.
Binge it now. Ho ho hold the line.
