Happy Holidays from Guilty Pleasures!! We’re about to unwrap a movie you may not even know existed – National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure! We take you through this Made-For-TV movie featuring everyone’s favorite side character. Can Randy Quaid carry this movie? Is this an unsung holiday classic or a big lump of coal? All that and a very important question: would you rather spend Christmas with present-day Randy Quaid or present-day Chevy Chase? We abandoned our families to watch this “movie,” so please give it a listen!!
