This week marks the 35th anniversary of the release of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) and we celebrate with a special extended episode of our podcast!  First, we talk about where the reindeer lived out the rest of their days and how you can help their fellow reindeer; a recent Hollywood memorabilia auction that included some SC:TM props; and then the star-studded New York and UK movie premieres that happened this week in 1985!  Then it’s on to Minute 35, where young Sarah Foster’s letter is magically swept away to the North Pole and read by Anya!

S2 Ep. 2 - Married With Children: Christmas
Loading
/

For the second episode of Sitcom Week, Jon takes the reins as the boys discuss “Christmas” from Married with Children (available on Hulu). Chris, Brian and Jon marvel at this time capsule from the 90’s while debating whether or not the humor still works in today’s day and age. It’s a rude, crude episode with attitude, but does it end up being a Christmas Classic, Lump of Coal, or something in between? Tune in to find out.

Non-Christmas topics include: Thanksgiving leftovers, Mars Attacks, TV shows the hosts watched with their families growing up, the TV show Jessie also starring Christina Applegate, half-dollar coins, and other time capsule TV.

They’re the harbinger of the festive season. When done right, they’re buttery little pastry parcels bulging with sweet, juicy, plump fruits drenched in booze, spice and citrusy flavour – done wrong, they can be limp, claggy and cloying. But one thing’s for sure – mince pies are the poster boy for Christmas in the UK. Join host, Glen Warren, as he explores the origins of the tasty little pie: Mincemeat.

Episode 10 - Winter Lounge
Loading
/

Welcome to Episode 10 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I discuss the fantastic 1986 compilation, Winter Lounge. Compiled by musician and producer Mari Sugi, it’s one of the best Christmas compilations to come out of Japan in the 1980’s—a decade during which the Japanese music industry excelled at creating Christmas compilation albums.

One thing I didn’t have time to get to get to during the episode was just how frustrating it was for me to acquire this album. After talking about how much I like 80s music, a friend in Japan suggested I track this down. Winter Lounge was released on both vinyl and CD (there was also a special edition CD/DVD combo, but I’ve never seen that for sale). A couple months after I started looking for it, by sheer luck I found copies of each for sale. A Chinese seller on eBay had the CD for $10. Record City had the LP for a much lower price, but I decided to get the CD since it would likely sound better and I wouldn’t have to go through the process of digitizing it. This was right as the quarantines were ramping up, and it took over a month for the CD to arrive. Once it got here, it was the wrong CD. The seller, in a rush to get as many orders out as possible before they shut down flights to the US, had quickly slapped labels on a bunch of CDs and sent them out without double checking. He apologized, told me to keep the CD he’d erroneously sent, and said he’d track down the right CD and send it out to me as soon as he could. Thinking I’d never actually see it, I went ahead and ordered the LP from Record City. I knew it would still be there, because, when they listed it on their site, they misspelled it as “Wunter Lounge.” I don’t remember exactly how I found it or what I had searched on, but I stumbled across it one night after combing through hundreds of pages of their inventory. This was around the same time I found the CD. I was confident that nobody would buy it before I had had a chance to, and, sure enough, when I checked again, it was still available. It arrived a couple days later, and from the first time I played it, I absolutely loved it. As luck would have it, a month or two later, long after I’d given up on the idea of ever seeing the CD, I checked the mail and found a small cardboard package. Sure enough, my CD had finally arrived. It’s a great enough album that I didn’t mind ending up with both copies.

Interestingly, the first time I was exposed to Winter Lounge, I wasn’t a fan. While trying to find a copy to buy, I found a link to the video for “Yellow Christmas.” I only had a few Japanese albums at the time and wasn’t as familiar with the music or the artists as I am now. The video is rather campy and a product of its time. It’s grown on me a little, mainly because I at least recognize a few of the people in the video, but it’s still rather goofy.

Yellow Christmas

I nearly gave up on Winter Lounge after watching it the first time. Thankfully, when I looked it up again later, a video for “Christmas In The Air” showed up as a suggested video. I clicked on the link not expecting much, but ended up absolutely loving the song. I figured if the rest of the album fell halfway between the two, it would be worth getting. It ended up being much better than I expected, and it’s an album I’ve returned to many times since.

Christmas in the Air

Kiss, Kiss, Bang! Bang!

As always, thanks for listening. Next month, for my Christmas episode, I’ll be featuring one of the rarest, most sought-after, and most innovative Christmas albums ever produced: Jun Fukamachi’s Now Sound Christmas. Be sure to listen. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever heard. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to send them my way. Also, be sure to check out some of the other Christmas podcasts mentioned in this month’s episodes. They’re a great way to keep Christmas going year-round.

Any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. Any donations received will be put towards purchasing new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving week! In this week’s episode the TGI Podcast is diving into the world of Sabrina The Teenage Witch for the lone Thanksgiving episode of the series titled ‘Love Means Having to Say You’re Sorry.’  We discuss the crazy lengths this episode went to in order to pack a convoluted storyline into a half-hour show, why Harvey really should not have taken Sabrina back and how this episode may have spawned the first Snapchat filter way back in 1999.

Season 2 kicks off with Sitcom Week. To get things started, Brian is in the hosting chair and talking about “In God We Trust” from the first season of Arrested Development (available on Netflix). Does this 2003 episode hold up to 2020 scrutiny? Can listeners get past Brian’s unfathomably long summary? And most important, is the first episode of season two a Christmas Classic or a Lump of Coal?

Non-Christmas topics include: Best in Show, Jon’s YouTube sketch comedy days, Jason Bateman’s appeal, Fox’s bad scheduling practices in the early 2000’s, and Jon briefly forgetting that this podcast focuses on Christmas.

We have a jam-packed, fun-filled episode for y’all this week! Kicking off the episode, the elves interview Columbia Jones and Mark Ricks from Burro Burracho Records who join this week’s show to promote the Burro Burracho Records’ Christmas EP “Is There Even Christmas This Year?” featuring Columbia Jones and Sean Ramos.

From there, Anthony talks a bit about his latest television show binges (FX on Hulu’s A Teacher and Netflix’s cute holiday rom-com series, Dash & Lily), Julia and Anthony compare notes on the Hallmark movies they’ve been watching every night (and realize they have very different tastes when it comes to the plots and actresses that star in them), and Thom talks about the slate of original, Hallmark-esque Netflix Christmas films that he and Christine have been indulging in.

Only then do the hosts get to the meat and potatoes of this episode – a long, in-depth discussion on Netflix’s absolutely fantastic, brand-new, 2020 Holiday film, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. While Julia, Thom, and Anthony are all in agreement regarding how phenomenal the movie is on every level, how much joy it’s filled with, and how nice it is to see such representation in a mainstream Hollywood production, there is some dissent and debate when it comes to the question of whether or not this film is actually a Christmas movie or just a movie set at Christmas. Regardless of where the elves fall on this question, after walking through the plot beat-by-beat, will they upend their own ranking system in order to give Jingle Jangle the score that they believe something so perfect and entertaining deserves?

This is one extra-festive episode that you want to be sure not to miss! So settle in with your favorite holiday-flavored beverage, bask in the lights of your Christmas tree, and enjoy! And also – from all of us to all of you, have a Happy Thanksgiving! As we are every day of the year, we are thankful for each and every one of you.
