The Second Annual Festive Foreign Film Fans Live Christmas Cavalcade (Part 1)

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

Another two-part episode?  What’s next – a crossover podcast with “Deck Hallmark”?

Nope, we decided to start 2026 with big things.  First, we kicked off January with our super-stuffed England episodes filled with extras and special guests.  Now we are presenting our recent live Christmas event in audio form. We don’t want you to experience it secondhand, so we are trying to convey the gestures, reactions, and energy that you can’t see or feel.  Since we can’t come over to your homes to pantomime the chaos of a live environment, we are going to inject some comments through the show to help you know what’s happening.

Imagine the ideal holiday event location. The Festive Foreign Film Fans Live Show unfolds in a nightclub where the air is buzzing with laughter and conversation.  The stage glows in saturated reds and greens.  At the center is a giant 4F logo and standing in front of it are your two seasoned hosts — looking a bit more weathered than their cartoon alter egos. Behind us are the Maeberries, a jazz band that swings through festive holiday standards. Off to one side sits a Santa throne — decked in Christmas lights — but a ready hot seat for our really popular and charming guests. The whole scene feels intimate yet electric, blending holiday hysteria with nightclub cool.

Our Live Show is not like our podcast but more like a variety show. We don’t cover any movies or songs, although we do test the audience on information only gleaned from our past episodes.  The whole thing has the feel of a fever dream turned into a public spectacle.  On this night, we’re incredibly lucky to welcome two guests who aren’t just hugely popular, but fun and normal. They show up and share some incredible Christmas stories.  Jackie Kostek, a television news anchor, stays for the whole evening, appearing in another skit and joining us for a sing-a-long at the end of the show.  Darryl Postelnick has an amazing background and brings several of his books for prizes and personally signs each one for the winners.  They both made the night memorable.  It’s rare to find celebrities who are so generous with their time, especially at the busy holiday season.  We don’t take for granted how their presence elevated the entire show.

This night features trivia and prizes, a surprise dance routine, and, along with the real music, some goofy songs, jingling bells, and two hosts whose material falls flat in the best way possible.  The whole room is in on the joke, creating a rare kind of holiday magic meets playful nonsense.  We just wish the world could be a little more like this more of the time.

This show is the highlight of our Festive Fans year, and we hope you enjoy it and much as we did!
