"Bodies Bodies Bodies" Makes a Strong Case For Dragging Your Audience For Filth

Stay woke! Today, we're unpacking the perfect storm of "Bodies Bodies Bodies."

Content Warning: Bodies Bodies Bodies contains violent imagery, drug use, sexual dialogue, and tons of Gen Z (and Millennial) shade. Viewer discretion is advised.  Spoilers for Bodies Bodies Bodies ahead!  By now it should come as no surprise that I love satire. As long as it knows its audience well and isn’t afraid to make a few people mad because they see themselves in the material. Bonus…

Violent Night (2022) 8/10

A rich family taken hostage by mercenaries who are after three hundred million dollars hidden in their mansion have to put aside their differences and work together if they want to stay alive. Meanwhile, Santa Claus just happens to crash and get tangled up in the family's affairs.

Let me just say that this movie made Santa Claus look good, because the title can be misleading. You'd think it's about a killer Santa Claus; it's not, in fact, he's more like badass Santa Claus. And he's roughing up the bad guys.

John Leguizamo's Jimmy Martinez is very different from some characters I've seen him play; he's violent, and ruthless in getting the money that the Lightstones have.

The funniest parts of the movie are definitely the fight scenes; the background music tends to contradict what's going on, contrasting harsh from soft, so to speak. There's a few one liners, mostly said by Santa Claus, but the humor comes from the creativity in the fights.

Yes, there's even a song parodied after 'Silent Night', sang by one of the characters, I won't say who, but that scene is oddly funny.

The actors are great, although I wish they would have put more screen time and development for Bertrude (Alexander Elliot), for example. He's obviously spoiled, but the only other time you actually sort of like his character is towards the end of the movie. Other than that, he's a brat.

The plot is easy to follow, in fact it reminded me of You're Next, where a family is also hostage, but has to fight off intruders as well. Compared to You're Next, though, this one has more action scenes. And definitely more creativity.

This is a comedy thriller, if I had to categorize it. It's gory, but not to an extent like the Saw movies. Not so much that you feel like throwing up. But to the point that you're cheering on what's happening.

But this definitely a Christmas movie that can kick start the holiday season on a high note, for sure.

I open up the tags for 'Violent Night' and bruh, are people really thirsting over David Harbour as Santa Claus?

I'm sorry if this gets taken the wrong way, but, just my opinion, I don't see the appeal. And that's okay!

I just thought he was a badass character who wanted to do what he thought was right, and did that.

But there are a lot of thirst posts about his Santa Claus, is all I'm saying.
