Every Piece Is A Piece Of Love. (Our Italian Christmas Memories)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they gather to discuss the 2022 Hallmark Original Movie, “Our Italian Christmas Memories“. (You get one guess as to which elf will be hosting this episode based on the title alone.) Slightly more somber for a Hallmark Christmas movie, does the tone work for the elves? And how properly does the film capture the Italian holiday experience?

Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out!

So, settle back with your favorite holiday drink, relax, and enjoy this festive treat, which is the perfect way to kick off your week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

The Star Wars Holiday Special (w/ Scott and Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? It’s the long awaited episode. We’ve teased it for years. That’s right! Scott Newman from Jingle Jank and Tinsel Tunes and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa join me to talk about “The Star Wars Holiday Special!” And yes, it’s as bad as everyone says it is!

Airing November 17, 1978, the special introduced us to Chewbacca’s family. It also gave us an entire Wookie dialogue with no subtitles! Han and Chewie are racing home so the latter can spend Life Day with his family. The holiday is a sacred day for all Wookiee, where they put on red robes and disappear into a star. Carrie Fisher sings too.

Unfortunately, the Imperial blockade is preventing the duo from arriving on time. Consequently, to kill time, Chewie’s family engages in a few variety show-style escapades. They watch a holographic circus, and reminisce about the time Chewie met Boba Fett. They even tune in to a mandatory viewing from Tatooine. Did I mention Bea Arthur’s in this? Well, she is. So is Harvey Korman!

Art Carney? Yep, as a trader sympathetic to the Rebellion. Dihann Carroll? Yep, as a quasi-inappropriate VR singer. Jefferson Starship?!?! Are they only in this because the word ‘starship’ is in their name? So grab your blaster, put on your Life Day robe, and sing along to this episode on “The Star Wars Holiday Special!”

Archie’s Christmas Stocking #500 (w/ Jeff Loftin)

What’s up, dudes? remember Archie comics? Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas does, and he’s here with me to talk Archie’s Christmas Stocking #500 from 1980! Laughs abound in this anthology of Yuletide tales with Betty, Veronica, and the gang!

In “A Christmas Ditty,” Archie has no money to buy his girlfriend Veronica a present, so he decides to shovel snow. Eventually he earns enough to get her a slew of gifts, but he’s so tired from his work he crashes on her couch before the joyful exchange. Oh, and it’s all told in rhyming couplets. “Shopworn” sees the boys complain about shopping. The girls volunteer to fight the crowds and it’s revealed Mr. Lodge has his secretary do his shopping.

Archie wakes Veronica in “Crystal Clear” to have a snow day. He pelts her with snowballs until she retaliates by dumping a pile of snow on him. Finally, the girls are frustrated when Archie and Jughead don’t understand the true meaning of Christmas: love. They fly off on a tirade, even claiming Reggie shows love when he’s blasting them with snowballs. The boys decide to show Reggie their version of love by burying him in the snow.

Jughead’s appetite? Check. Stereotypical male shopping behavior? Uh huh. Romantic rivalry between Betty and Veronica? Actually, no, not in this one. So grab your snowballs and send your secretary shopping for you while you enjoy this episode on Archie’s Christmas Stocking #500!

Carpenters Legacy and Christmas Novelty Songs with April Brucker

Twelve Songs goes to Las Vegas this week, first to talk with Sally Olson and Ned Mills of the tribute act Carpenters Legacy about The Carpenters and their Christmas music. This year, they took their affection for both subjects to the natural conclusion and recorded “Christmas Time with You,” a Christmas song made in the mold of the Carpenters.

After that, I talk to comedian and ventriloquist April Brucker, who released a song sung by her and her puppet May Wilson, “Merry Christmas I’m So Glad I Didn’t Marry You.” We talk about ventriloquism, novelty songs, and the age-old tradition of using Christmas music to draw attention to your thing, whatever that thing is.

In the episode, I mentioned ChristmasUnderground.com and my interview with its creator, Jim Goodwin. I also talked about the Holly Jolly X’masu podcast focused on Japanese Christmas music, and mentioned my interview with its host, Scott Leopold. Also in the hype department, I talked about appearing on Gerry Davila’s Totally Rad Christmas podcast to talk about “Do They Know it’s Christmas ” by Band Aid Mk I and Band Aid Mk II.

The episode closes with a great version of “Christmas Time is Here” by Kelli Jones and Daniel Coolik from the EP A Very Melancholy Christmas.
