In this episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast, Johnny Spoiler dives into FATMAN (2020), the chaotic Christmas action movie starring Mel Gibson as a jaded Santa and Walton Goggins as a relentless hitman.
We explore why Fatman resonates in 2025’s era of holiday burnout, why action Santa works while villain Santa doesn’t, and how this anti-comfort Christmas movie fits alongside classics like Elf, Home Alone, and Bad Santa.
Johnny also shares quick thoughts on current Christmas trends — smaller trees, muted decor, and why darker holiday movies are trending — before dissecting the film’s wild action, magic rules, and standout performances.
Watch the episode above and see why Santa shooting back might be the perfect remedy for modern holiday fatigue.
