Married…with Children “It’s A Bundyful Life” (w/ Scott Newman)

What’s up, dudes? Scott  from Jingle Jank and Tinsel Tunes is here with me to talk about the two part “Married…with Children” Christmas episode ‘It’s a Bundyful Life!’

In part one, Al tries to finally provide his family with the perfect Christmas through the use of his bank’s Christmas Club. He’s saved up enough to actually get them gifts! Unfortunately, while stuck at work, he arrives at the bank too late! Now penniless and giftless, he tries to scam a few bucks off some shopping mothers by watching their children. Typical Bundy disappointment ensues. Part two sees Al accidentally electrocute himself. His guardian angel Sam Kinison arrives and gives him the “It’s a Wonderful Life” treatment: Al was never born! Seeing his wife happily married to another man and his kids smart and successful reignites his desire to live. How dare they be happy! All’s well that ends well…or at least, that returns to the status quo.

Getting jumped by a group of Santas? Yep. Being tied up by angry moms? For sure. Seeing your drunk neighbor xerox her rear end then throw up in her own mailbox? Definitely! So grab your cough syrup, make some snow cones with real snow, and see an alternate reality with ‘It’s a Bundyful Life!’

The Adventures of Candy Claus (w/ Bradley Lyndon)

What’s up, dudes? What gift does Santa get? That question is answered in this Australian production. Bradley Lyndon from Million Monkey Theater joins me to talk the Louis Corbo book-turned-special “The Adventures of Candy Claus!”

A family decides to gift Santa two dolls from the children around the world. As Santa flies back the North Pole, the aerokinetic misanthrope Ohno opens the present and steals one of the dolls. As Santa wakes from his post-delivery nap, he finds the gift and his love brings the girl doll to life. The Clauses adopt Candy and she adjusts to her new life in Santa Town. Ohno, jealous that his own doll is not yet completely alive due to lack of love, sabotages all Candy’s endeavors. Despite being guided by the robotic Shad-O,  she tries to run away  due to her perceived clumsiness and uselessness. Santa rescues her, and Prof. Mustknow gives her a time travel bracelet so she can find her lost brother.

Council of elves? Check. Jimmy Stewart-sounding wisened, aged character? Uh huh. Marvel comics villain Whirlwind with a mustache? Well… So grab your time bangle, watch home videos, and take a sleigh into this episode all about Candy Claus!

Christmas at Thompson Hall: A Christmas Story by Anthony Trollope, Part 1 of 4

Can you believe Christmas will be here in only two weeks!!?? To help you celebrate the season, this month I will be reading the story “Christmas at Thompson Hall” by Anthony Trollope. It was first published in the magazine ‘The Graphic’ in their Christmas issue in 1876.

In the first part of the story, Mrs. Brown and a reluctant Mr. Brown are traveling to see Mrs. Brown’s family at Thompson Hall for Christmas. On their journey, Mr. Brown decides to break up their trip and stay in a hotel because he’s not feeling well… (definitely was the man flu!). The well-meaning (and slightly peeved) Mrs. Brown decides to try and prepare him a mustard poultice… what could possibly go wrong?

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss a single episode of this funny and heartwarming story, Christmas at Thompson Hall!
