It is time for the big game, but Raymond has gotten himself into another pickle!

This week we are covering ‘Super Bowl’ from Everybody Loves Raymond for our January episode. Matt discusses how there are a lot of questions surrounding Ray’s ticket situation and how maybe Debra went a little overboard with her attacks on Ray.

As always, we cap off the episode by determining whether or not it should be deemed a classic. Come give it a listen!

This week, the elves gather to tackle the 2023 musical film, “Journey to Bethlehem“!

Regardless it’s a fun and festive episode filled with interesting debates and more than a few history lessons courtesy of Thom Crowe.

 What’s up, dudes? One of the greatest duos in music, it’s Daryl Hall and John Oates! Well, in 1983 they released a Christmas single. Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas joins me to talk all about their version of “Jingle Bell Rock!”

Daryl Hall and John Oates, commonly referred to as Hall & Oates, were an American pop rock duo who ruled the airwaves in the ’80s. By the fall of 1983, they were one of the biggest music acts in the United States. They had five Number 1 singles to their credit, two consecutive Top 10 albums, and were one of the biggest names on MTV! They released their cover of Bobby Helms’s 1957 classic “Jingle Bell Rock” in time for Christmas, and MTV played the heck out of the video. The duo recorded two versions: one with Hall singing lead and one with Oates singing lead. Likewise, there were two versions of the video. The video is known for its campy, over the top gestures and costumes, including guitarist G.E. Smith as grandma!

Lime green pants? Check. Deranged Santa? Uh huh. Party patrons bopping up and down to the music? Definitely! So grab your sweater, bring your gift, and head down to the party with this episode!

Welcome to the launch of SEASON 7 on Australia’s ONLY Christmas Podcast, Christmas Podding. For the past seven years your hosts Liam Renton and Vanessa Gibson have talked all things Christmas and we are proud to be back with a brand new season. Even if it is January.

This week we look back on what appeared to be a pretty good Christmas 2023 and see what we learnt, did well and would never do again.

We’re jumping head first into the Quality Streets Christmas Scandal. Should big business be allowed to mess with decades of tradition to save a little money. We’ll unpack the changes Quality Streets have made to a family favourite and the impact it may have on future Christmas’s  plus

We look at what Christmas themed goodies we bought in the post Christmas Madness and decide what was a clever future Christmas purchase and what was an absolute waste of Christmas coin.

Tell your friends who are as crazy about Christmas as we are, that there’s a podcast back and talking about Christmas ALL YEAR LONG.

What’s up, dudes? Remember the Centurions? Kenner released the 7” Centurions line in 1986. The figures had cybernetic Exo-Frames with a number of hardpoints on the surface, onto which the various parts of their Assault Weapon Systems attached. In the accompanying Ruby-Spears cartoon, personnel on the orbiting space station Skyvault beamed the AWS to the team.

London Editions Magazines published Centurions comics in the UK. Despite the vague near future label, the UK comic firmly establishes the year as 2087 in issue #8 in the 4 page story entitled ‘Time Trap.’

In fact, it’s New Year’s Eve 2087, and even on Skyvault the turn of the new year is eagerly awaited. Max, Jake, and Crystal have only 2 ½ minutes before midnight, and Crystal beams Jake up to Skyvault to celebrate the New Year with his friends. Just as Jake is teleported aboard, he discovers everything in a state of suspended animation. Yes, everyone of his friends is frozen in time. Investigating with the space scanner, Jake discovers that time hasn’t stopped, just slowed down almost to a halt. Doc Terror apparently fired a Time Stasis beam at Skyvault causing some sort of time distortion. Not knowing how to operate Skyvault’s defense systems, Jake instead opts to use Ace’s Orbital Interceptor AWS. He’s not used to handling space missions though, and he flies erratically. Fortunately, this prevents Doc Terror from locking his weapons on him. Jake fires a multi-particle missile at Doc Terror’s Flying Fortress, disabling it and shutting down the beam. Free from the time stasis, Crystal beams Jake aboard, and the team ushers in the new year.

Weapons? Check. Teleporters? Yup. Dracula? Umm… So put on your Exo-Frame, yell Power Extreme, and dive into this episode on the Centurions!

A “Sethtrospective”: Cousin Seth’s 101st Birthday Spectacular!!!

Vincent Van Gogh’s classic painting “Starry Night” has, through the years, inspired poets, musicians, and now another gem — this episode’s holiday film from Taiwan.  Mark describes it as the “best film we have reviewed” so far.   It is a heartfelt story based on an illustrated novel, and the film shares the artful imagination of both the painter and the author with its stunning visuals.  The genuine emotional content of the story sparks a discussion between the boys on what elements make for a good Christmas movie.  Although Taiwan is a majority Buddhist and Taoist country, “Starry, Starry Night” creates true Christmas “feels” while dealing with painful issues like bullying, divorce, and death.  However, despite its heavy themes, the movie and its young actors shine as brightly as the night sky that inspires them. The film also includes some fantasy elements that provide for a welcome escape from their unhappy reality.  In addition, we learn about Taiwan’s dazzling Banqiao District with its high-powered projections, digital Christmas trees, and giant Lego Santa.  Plus, we discuss the Dongzhi Festival, celebrated on the winter solstice (December 22), with its sticky rice animals and nine-layer cakes that are offered as a ceremonial sacrifice to honor deceased ancestors.  Join us on a sentimental journey to a land that, like this movie, is colorful, charming, and a bit magical.

During the holiday season hundreds of these treats are made, sometimes by just one household.  Their name can be a bit confusing when first heard.  They have originated in Europe but have settled in America.  It’s the cookie that isn’t called a cookie.  We’re exploring the history and origins of sand tarts.

Happy New Year, Creepazoids! 2024 marks our 10th year of Christmas Creeps, and to celebrate we’re kicking off the year with a show we’ve wanted to do for a long time: Video Game Chat!

This week we’re taking a break from Christmas movies to talk about the best video games we’ve played in 2023. They don’t have to be new games, just games we played in the last year. Them’s the rules.

We realize this episode may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but rest assured our regular programming will resume in February. For now though, please enjoy this ridiculous episode in which we all talk so much about video games that we had to break it up into two parts! (Part 2 coming next week!)

What do ‘Christmas in Montana’ and Billy Corgan have in common?

 

Nothing…but welcome to the interworkings of Cousin Seth’s brains! In this epsiode, the Cousins doa (relatively) deep dive into one of Cousin Chad’s favorites, ‘Christmas in Montana’ (written by our recent guest, Julie Sherman Wolfe!).

 

But before we head to the ranch, we take a detour into Cousin Seth’s encounters with Billy Corgan. So what if Seth isn’t allowed to be within several hundred feet of Billy now, it can still be discussed!!!

 

Enjoy!

What’s up, dudes? NES was the greatest thing ever in the ’80s! In fact, it was so great they made a feature film about it! I’ve got Mike Westfall of  Advent Calendar House and Chad Young from Horror Movie BBQ here with me to dive into the 1989 Fred Savage movie “The Wizard!” It was a December release that capitalized on the Christmas season to help sell video games.

Brothers Corey and Jimmy Woods are being separated by their parents’ divorce. Jimmy is a slightly autistic young boy who has had problems and PTSD ever since his twin sister died at a young age. One day, Corey discovers that Jimmy has a natural talent for playing video games, and the two journey to the West Coast to compete in a video-game championship. They want to prove that Jimmy doesn’t belong in an institution.

Along the way, they evade the adults who are trying to take Jimmy away, especially the bounty hunter Putnam. The duo also meet Haley Brooks from Reno, who helps them scam their way to the big Video Armageddon competition. Jimmy makes it to the finals and even manages to defeat local phenom Lucas. Oh, and he finally gets closure by leaving his most treasured possession at a tourist spot special to him and his sister.

Mega Man 2? Yep. Double Dragon? Uh huh. Super Mario Bros. 3?! Only if you don’t use the Power Glove! So grab your lunchbox, hop on your skateboard, and hitch a ride to this episode on “The Wizard!”
