Oh hi,
This week on Filmsack, we’re released from prison just in time for the holidays and the gift that is the awkwardly framed foreground close ups of Gary Sinise’s monster eye bags… and unlike Rudolph who was excluded from all the REINDEER GAMES because of his shiny red nose we send 4 Filmsack Union Santas in… which is what witness will say…. to hook up with this early 2000s Action Thriller our cellmate got us horny about…. now sleeping with her brother on Paramount Plus pa rum pa pum pum. Apparently this poor boy did have gifts to bring. Riding a hard 5.
Anywho, the police just showed up and wanted to know if I recently received any unexpected large cash donations in my mailbox. Or at least that is what I heard through my Ring Doorbell Cam as I am currently out visiting my neighbor’s mailboxes and headed for the airport. Water pistol full of Pa Rum Pa Pum Rum
Randy, what do you say to Santa’s Dwarves… you say sorry, ya big jerk.

BRIEF
Reindeer Games (2000) follows Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck), a parolee just released from prison who assumes the identity of his former cellmate to cozy up to the cellmate’s pen-pal girlfriend, Ashley (Charlize Theron). But Rudy quickly becomes entangled in a plot led by Gabriel (Gary Sinise) to rob a tribal casino, all while wearing Santa suits and navigating a web of lies and betrayals. With action, twists, and a holiday backdrop, this thriller mixes Christmas cheer with cold-blooded crime.

Reindeer Games (2000) – I had better sex in prison. #HotChocolateAndPecanPie
SHOW NOTES
- Is this a Christmas movie?
- SANTA! Multiple Dead Santa’s! No faces
- 6 days before
- To tell ya the truth, I never was much for the holidays. It’s been forever since I’d known a holiday, since I’d seen my family, since I’d been with a girl, since I’d driven a car. You see, cars are what put me here – Iron Mountain, Maximum Security Prison. I was riding a hard five for grand theft auto. Meanwhile, most of my esteemed raping and murdering colleagues were up for parole in three. The world works like that sometimes. All the time, in my experience. That’s me, Rudy Duncan, menace to society, on the left. The guy on the right is Nick Cassidy, my best friend. Back then, we were both looking at three days to a new start. That’s what ya talk about in prison. How you’re gonna get it right. How you’ll never make the same mistakes.
- 3 days until a new start.
- That is what you talk about in prison.
- First thing I am going to do. Hot Chocolate… a mug of Hot Chocolate.
