While it was the first episode we ever recorded, it is officially released as Episode 24!

In the PILOT episode of Winners, Losers, and Lovers, we take a trip to the North Pole and revisit Elf, the wildly successful Christmas comedy starring Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf.

We break down why Elf became an instant holiday staple, the surprisingly heartfelt performance from Ferrell, the direction of Jon Favreau, and how the movie balances absurd comedy with genuine Christmas spirit.

We also discuss the supporting cast, iconic one-liners, the film’s lasting cultural impact, and whether Elf truly deserves its place alongside the all-time great holiday movies. From candy spaghetti and fake burps to department store Santas and awkward office meetings, this episode celebrates one of the defining comedies of the 2000s.

Santa! I know him!
