Christmas carols and flicks are likely to elicit strong opinions. Is “Love Actually” the best Christmas movie of all time or a cringey romcom with two-dimensional characters who’re actually pretty bad people? Is Bandaid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” simply a foul Christmas song or the worst?
Zac and Ashley discuss all this and far more with their colleagues Maggi Van Dorn, the host of America Media’ Hark! podcast, and Jim McDermott, S.J., America’s expert on all things popular culture. Before giving their holiday hot takes, they ask Maggi what she learned by digging into the history and making of our most beloved Christmas hymns and what our love of those songs says about us.
