i really love that this expanded on the lore, love the hallmark element, just fun

Funny how I watched Letters to Satan Claus earlier this month and ever since I’ve watched two movies that take a few elements (Dear Santa with the accidentally writing to Satan, and this with spoofing Hallmark movies) and are much better!

This was a pleasant surprise as I didn’t know how they could do a follow up, but logic goes out the window and it’s all about making shit up as they go like the first one! Can’t wait to see what a part 3 will bring!

This was a neat little surprise! Paced a heck of a lot better than the first one now that it's no longer trapped in the same initial restraints as its predecessor, Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin' Out simply throws in another hokey modern film "tradition" of the Hallmark Holiday Film as opposed to the Yule Log footage film. This one slots in a whole lot more nicely with horror as a whole, working on similar levels of artifice as horror does and allowing for a lot of overlap in the kinds of characters one can expect in a horror film and in a Hallmark romance movie. The film tosses out a lot of lore from the first film in order to make this one work, but that's totally fine if it means that the jokes are going to land a bit better and the special effects are a lot more effective this time around
