The Charmings: Yes, Lillian, There Is a Santa Claus

🎄 Hey, remember the Christmas episode of that show on ABC where Snow White and Prince Charming are transported by the Evil Queen to a land without magic and have to adjust to modern-day America? No, you don’t, because you’re thinking of “Once Upon a Time,” which didn’t have a Christmas episode, which was rude. But we’re going back an even longer time ago to the enchanted year of 1987 to meet The Charmings, who did have a Christmas episode!

You can watch “Yes, Lillian, There Is a Santa Claus” on YouTube, or this VHS-recorded copy with commercials.

****

🎙 Guests:

Kristi and Bri from Bad Princess Movies.

The first season’s opening credits explains the backstory.

Judy Parfitt (Lillian) as another fairytale queen in “Ever After: A Cinderella Story.”

Carol Huston Signs for ‘The Charmings’ (L.A. Times, 1987).

The Calgary Castle and the even crazier themed vacation homes being built near me.

Nothing in Jurassic World is Natural (2015’s Jurassic World)

It’s July, it’s hot, and the elves are back together to keep the Christmas spirit alive—even if the only snow in sight is digital! This week, Anthony, Julia, and Thom wrangle some nostalgia and take on Jurassic World (2015) to answer the most important question: does a single Christmas song and a December setting make this dino blockbuster a holiday film, or is it just a T-Rex-sized summer popcorn flick with a festive aftertaste?

Pour yourself a glass of eggnog (or a margarita, Jimmy Buffett-style) and join us as we:

  • Reminisce about our first Jurassic Park theater experiences and why that original movie still gives us chills (and maybe a few nightmares).

  • Break down the plot, the characters, and the sheer spectacle of Jurassic World—from Chris Pratt’s raptor whispering to Bryce Dallas Howard’s high-heeled heroics.

  • Debate the movie’s “Christmas credentials”—from the opening scene’s holiday music to the glaring lack of decorations in the park. (Seriously, where are the lights? Where’s the tree? Universal, call us!)

  • Laugh about the best cameos, the most over-the-top dino moments, and why theme parks never learn their lesson.

  • Share our signature ratings and decide if Jurassic World deserves a spot on your Christmas watchlist—or if it’s best saved for a heatwave movie marathon.

As always, expect plenty of tangents, pop culture references, and a healthy dose of snark. Whether you’re here for the dinosaurs, the nostalgia, or the ongoing “is it a Christmas movie?” debate, we’ve got you covered.

Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, join our Facebook group to share your thoughts (and your favorite Jurassic Park moments), and keep the conversation going on Twitter and Instagram. And don’t forget—Christmas is never more than a podcast episode away!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

🐰 It’s Easter in July, and those two things together are the least confusing thing about today’s episode. In 1971’s “Here Comes Peter Cottontail,” the first Rankin/Bass non-Christmas holiday special, it’s a race across the calendar to reclaim the title of Chief Easter Bunny from the evil January Q. Irontail, voiced by Vincent Price.

You can watch it on Tubi, or this restored version on the YouTube channel “The Rankin Bass Archive.”

****

🎙 Guests:

Michael May (MichaelMay.online, After Lunch, Bluesky)

Sammy Hain (Sammy’s Easter Tails, Bluesky)

****

💬 Topics & Tangents:

“The Easter Bunny That Overslept,” the book, and a read-along video.

This special has the same opening as Disney’s “Aladdin.”

Vincent Price hosting “Read, Write, and Draw” on The Disney Channel.

Jim and Dwight are bad at party planning on “The Office.”

Patton Oswalt on Easter eggs.

Seymour S. Sassafras is probably a Time Lord.

Today’s TV Trope: Loophole Abuse.

The Halloween segment reuses music from “Mad Monster Party?”

Is the title of Chief Easter Bunny always on the line like a 24/7 wrestling championship?

Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet.

Yosemite Sam attempts to cook hasenpfeffer.

The Easter Bunny in Hell in “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.”

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers “Marshmallow Trees” (w/ Kevin Williams)

What’s up, dudes? It’s a space cowboy cartoon from the ‘80s. No, not BraveStarr. Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to talk about The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers “Marshmallow Trees!”

Zozo and Rangers Niko and Buzzwang introduce kiwi  trees to the planet Granna. Unfortunately, the planet’s two suns have an adverse effect on the trees, making them complete their entire cycle of growth in one night. It also causes them to grow 100 times their normal size. The planet will be overrun by the trees if a genetically engineered breed of gobblebugs aren’t used to destroy the crop.

Rangers Doc and Zachary Foxx arrive with the bugs and to provide support for Niko and Buzz. Consequently, the residents of Granna don’t think the bugs are a good idea at all. It turns into a free for all, as everyone commandeers everyone else’s vehicles trying to stop the Rangers from releasing the bugs. Foxx activates his series-5 implant and uses his bionic arm blaster to stop the chase. The bugs eat the trees and turn into flowers.

Marshmallow trees? Yep. Cybernetically enhanced space cowboys? For sure. Jingle Bells? Only briefly in the score. So grab your series-5 enhancements, hop on your cyber steed and listen to this Galaxy Rangers “Marshmallow Trees” episode!
