For the longest time, I resisted the temptation to be niche when people asked my favorite Christmas movie. Adult Swim Yule Log slowly morphs into a trippy slasher. HBO MaxCasper Kelly’s Adult Swim Yule Log begins exactly how you’d expect: close-up footage of a roaring fire with quiet Christmas movies playing in the background. The Adult Swim Yule Log duology is the ultimate strange Christmas movie pairing: they may be irreverent, but they still hold the tropes of Christmas media sacred. Adult Swim Yule Log and Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin’ Out are now streaming on HBO Max.
