The List for Monday, December 21st 2020

Welcome to The List -

Christmas week is finally here...Most everyone remembers that Christmas gift that was the best, number one, that made it feel like Christmas. What was your favorite childhood Christmas gift? We asked Luke Bryan what his was "My favorite Christmas gift is definitely my first Honda 50 motorcycle that I got back in 1984. It was just an amazing gift to have under the tree, and I never will forget seeing that as I walked out."

Keith Urban remembers spending his childhood Christmas holidays on the beaches in Australia. "We still love going to the beach at Christmas time, as long as we’re in Australia, because it’s like the Fourth of July. It’s huge. Everybody’s out. It feels very celebratory . Albeit, we still had all of the same Christmas songs, so we’re in, like, 90-degree heat with shorts and tank tops singing ‘Walking in a Winter Wonderland,’

Is the movie “Die Hard” a Christmas movie....the debate has gone on for years...well, we have the definitive answer and we get it from the movie's Director John McTiernan. He' s adamant that the action classic is a Christmas movie. He says although it wasn't wasn't intended to be at first, but the joy that came from it is what turned it into a Christmas movie...that sounds a little suspect to me...

Gal Gadot was asked if she was open to making a third "Wonder Woman" movie is possible "I'm open for more, but you know we need to make that the story is right. and everything is right and lets see how the world is going to be. Now there's so many moving pieces." "Wonder Woman 1984" is in theaters and streaming on HBO Max beginning December 25th.

The List for Friday, December 18th 2020

Welcome to The List -

We start The List today with Justin Moore looking back on 2020... “It’s provided some really good perspective, and it’s cliché to say, but you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone and all of this could be gone tomorrow. I think we’ll look back on it and we’ll probably appreciate more what we get to do day in and day out than maybe we did before, which is a positive thing, for sure.”

Eric Church is giving fans a glimpse into life in the recording studio with his new, behind-the-scenes video for his latest song called “Doing Life With Me.” Not only can viewers get a feel for what creating “Doing Life With Me” was like, but the video also spotlights the family and friends that have been “Doing Life” with Eric for years.

Business Insider says movie theaters might slash ticket prices for Warner Brothers films in 2021, because many of the movies are going to premier on streaming services like HBO Max the same day they're in theaters. Tickets may cost between $3 and $5 to see movies like "The Suicide Squad" and "The Matrix 4".

Comedian Whitney Cummings made her fourth appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show ... so, Kelly gave her a 'Team Kelly' jacket! "Have you ever in your life! I'm going to get so much money for this on ebay!"

Screen Rant reports a Walking Dead comedy series is in the works. Producer Scott Gimple is quoted by the website as saying, "We are working on a straight Walking Dead comedy right now. We're not making fun of our world, but it's just more of a comedic take on the world."

And so I hope I can take that mindset back into 2021.”
