🎄 Previously on the Advent Calendar House, our hearts and golden harmonicas went out to “A Chipmunk Christmas.”

This time, it’s Scrooge Sunday, and our Christmas in July reunion tour arrives in Hollywood — or at least a nearby cartoon suburb where Alvin turns his greed up to 11 and blames it on his lonely old neighbor who doesn’t know how to plant a garden. So get set to have some fun in this Dickens of an episode of “Alvin and the Chipmunks.”

This time the boys are off to the unofficial home of Santa Claus — Finland — and boy, what a Santa!  He’s not exactly your jolly old fat man.  Take that Coca-Cola!  Bob and Mark venture into that unique festive niche, the holiday horror film, and discuss the film Rare Exports.   They also discover one of the hidden secrets of Finland (at least for them) — Finnish heavy metal music!  Plus, the awesome holiday tune “Tulkoon Joulu”.  They really enjoy all the goat imagery and customs, and they can’t wait to go begging for alcohol from their neighbors.  We will be starting a GoFundMe page for their bail.  Sit back and enjoy a Christmas experience above the Arctic Circle.

What’s up, dudes? Remember when Rocky Balboa ended the Cold War on Christmas Day? Ashley Dunbar from the Magic of the Season, CJ Bélanger from Christmas Sessions, and Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast remember, and they join me to talk about “Rocky IV!” Eye of the Tiger returns with a cadre of dope tunes to help Rocky avenge his fallen comrade!

Boxing champion Rocky Balboa is living his best life. He’s got a huge house, a nice car, beautiful family, and an ‘80s robot. When his friend former champ Apollo Creed is killed in the ring with Russian warrior Ivan Drago, Rocky is devastated. Unable to find peace. Rocky then decides to fight Drago himself. He has a ton of training montages and builds up his endurance and stamina to fight the beast. It all culminates in Rocky ending the Cold War with boxing on Christmas Day! Cut to his son watching the fight by a gorgeous Christmas tree.

‘80s synth jams? Check. Snow? Yep. Dolph Lundgren actually hurting Sly and Carl? Definitely! So grab your boxing gloves, train in the Russian wilderness, and box with this episode all about “Rocky IV!”
