THE PLOT (via Letterboxd)
Murray worries no one will show up to his TV show due to a massive snowstorm in New York City. Through luck and perseverance, guests arrive at Gotham’s Carlyle Hotel to help him — dancing and singing in holiday spirit.
THE REASON
I’ve been looking forward Netflix’s original hour-long holiday variety show, A Very Murray Christmas, for MONTHS, and today it finally arrived on Netflix! They already had me at Bill Murray, full stop. But throw in Sophia Coppola, and that incredible cast of actors and musicians and you’ve got an absolute shoe-in for Friday Featured Flix! If you need me this weekend you’ll find me curled up on the couch, wearing this delightfully tacky sweatshirt, watching Murray and his friends ring in the Christmas season. I suggest you do the same. Watch it now on Netflix.
