Merry Christmas, everyone! Here's a little Christmas bonus for you all, and one that doesn't involve kidnapping Brian Doyle-Murray from his home, tying him in a giant red ribbon, and bringing him home to place him under the tree. Instead, on this Christmas Eve, Team Empire invites you to dive deep into the all-time Chrimbo comedy classic that is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (or National Lampoon's Winter Holiday, as it is also known these days).
As well as a lengthy interview in which Chris Hewitt talks to the film's director, Jeremiah S. Chechik, about his memories of making the Chevy Chase chucklefest, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara and Nick de Semlyen for a fun-filled chat about the movie. Warning: may contain stories about marauding squirrels.
