The Nutcracker in 3D is a 2010 fantasy film.
It is generally accepted as the dullest and most forgettable movie the hosts have ever covered and probably ever will cover.
Notable Characters[]
Plot[]
A banished prince-turned-nutcracker recruits a little girl to help him reclaim his kingdom and turn him back into a real boy. And John Turturro plays an anthropomorphic Nazi rat.
The Episode[]
- Multiple Tiradesverse connections were made in this one
- This episode marked the debut of "It worked in Blazing Saddles!", which would eventually be retired in Episode 21
- Though there are some funny highlights, Damien and James both agree that this episode is easily the most forgettable and skippable one in the podcast's entire catalogue

Scores[]
James - Puginatacious
Damien - Skyrim
Mike - Botheration
Highlights[]
- John Turturro electrocutes a shark.
- Weekend at Bernie's II is in the Tiradesverse.
- James gets more and more frustrated with the idiocy and dullness of the plot throughout the review
- Mike was so tired of the summary that he tried to end it himself by interrupting James and giving out Final Words. He gave Damien "retarded", James "ostrasizzlesnozz" and himself "declahallathon".
- Damien and Mike have an epiphany at the conclusion of the summary when they realize that there is someone else with the initials, "N.C."
