Movie Memory Machine is a podcast dedicated to films that are forgotten but not gone.
Each week the Machine sends us backward and forward through time and forces us to blow the dust off a wide release film that history has forgotten to decide if we should send it back to modern memory or leave it drifting in the ether of space.

Mini-Transmission: Surviving Christmas (2004) | The Christmas Comedy Hollywood Tried to Hide
Fresh off their reluctantly festive detour into 2004, Truman and Landen return to tie up loose ends from Surviving Christmas—a film so aggressively seasonal that the Machine still smells faintly of plastic tinsel. They revisit the leftover questions, stray observations, and mid-2000s oddities that didn’t quite fit into the Main episode. And as always, they play The Trailer Game, trying to guess which chaotic assortment of Affleck faces and faux-holiday cheer the marketing team stitched together before watching the trailer for the first time. Next week, the Machine has locked onto October 22, 2004, teasing only the clue: HIP HOP MEETS SHOP TILL YOU DROP.
