What’s up, dudes? There are a lot of classic Halloween commercials! They’ve shaped our perception of the spooky season since we were little. Lyle Perez from The Halloween Podcast joins me live to watch some of the wild and creative ‘80s Halloween commercials!

We begin with Count Chocula recoiling in fear of Count Dracula. The Invisible Man and the Mummy also try to get cheap mufflers at Meineke. Meanwhile, Count Scary attempts to persuade us to pick up some 3D glasses at our local Wendy’s restaurants. His widows peak is out of control!

Ogilvy Mather created two memorable commercials. The first has young lovers accidentally combining peanut butter and chocolate at viewing of a scary movie. The second sees Frankenstein’s wretch combine the two after his resurrection. Then follows Ronald McDonald talking with McNugget buddies in Halloween costumes. Oh, and Vincent Price even hawks Polaroid video cassettes. We also see Elvira plug Coors!

A killer stalks his prey to a John Carpenter synth score clone. As he approaches his victims, he snatches the Coca Cola out of their hands. As it turns out, it’s only a sister in a face mask and curlers! Hideous!

Catchy jingles? Check. Cheesy, eerie messages? Of course. Monster shenanigans? Definitely! So grab your Dipps, head to McDonald’s with their certificates, and enjoy this episode on ’80s Halloween commercials!

Sounds of Christmas

This week I’m talking with blues artist Jontavious Willis, who recently released his album West Georgia Blues.

I wanted to talk to Jontavious not because of his Christmas music–he doesn’t have any yet–but because he’s doing something that I’ve been trying to pay attention to as people make contemporary music in traditional forms. We go a little longer with Jontavious talking about the blues in general to help get at that thought a bit.

But we also got to a number of his favorite blues Christmas songs, and I like that he’s not doctrinaire in his choices, folding in Rev. J.M. Gates, The Emotions and James Brown among others. Early on he mentions Minnie Ripperton, and it takes a bit before I get to her, but I played “Christmas Love” by the Rotary Connection, which featured Minnie Ripperton on lead vocals.

In the episode, I also mentioned that I did a guest spot recently on the Totally Rad Christmas podcast, which focuses on Christmas in the ’80s. We talked about “Do They Know it’s Christmas” by Band Aid and Band Aid II from 1989 with a version of the song produced by the British pop hit making team of Stock Aiken Waterman. It’s a fun conversation and worth the time.

Finally, Jontavious mentioned Lowell Folsom’s “Lonesome Christmas,” then rolled on to other songs so I never got to include a song by him. If you haven’t heard it, here it is.

What’s up, dudes? Stephen King has had a huge influence in the horror genre, and that includes werewolves. Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa is with me to talk all about the 1985 movie “Silver Bullet!” In a small town, it’s hard to hide as a bat-wielding bear-like werewolf (bear-wolf?), unless you’re a reverend, of course.

Siblings Marty and Jane have a contentious relationship. Things get crazy when people start dying around the full moon. At first, the deaths are chalked up to accidents, but when a young boy is torn to shreds, a posse forms. Naturally, more deaths follow.

Marty attracts the werewolf’s attention shooting off fireworks, but manages to injure its eye. Consequently, he enlists Jane’s help in tracking down the culprit, searching for one-eyed persons. They discover Rev. Lowe with a new eyepatch, and confront him. He attacks, but is killed when their uncle shoots him with the specially crafted bullet. All’s well that ends well.

Small town? Check. Rubber snakes? Yep. Rocket powered motorbike wheelchair? Only if Gary Busey made it! So grab your fireworks, hop in your own Silver Bullet, and ride the rickety bridge to this episode!

Welcome back, Cousins, to a cozy, joyful episode filled with brotherly banter, nostalgia, and holiday warmth…Christmas Cousins style!

Joe, the Christmas Aficionado is back with a forgotten Christmas tradition!

In this heartwarming follow-up, Joe is joined by his brother to set the record straight on the mystery tradition that made their childhood Christmases truly magical. With a “bit of a stumble, boff” on the first go, Joe is determined to give this story the attention it deserves.

Is this tradition something Cousin Seth, our ever-learning Seasonal Sophomore, can now add to his festive plans?

Will the Christmas Cousins (and their listeners) pick up some new holiday inspiration?

It’s a can’t-miss episode of the Christmas Aficionado Brothers Meet the Christmas Cousins!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, we are honored to welcome to the main show for the very first time ever Chris Evans of “Gathering of the Geeks” and “DC Unlimited” to discuss the beloved 1987 family-horror film, “The Monster Squad“!

Join us as we dive deep into our histories, walk through the plot, talk the Universal Monsters, praise all of the cheesy eighties effects,  writing, and music, and much, much more! Be warned though: there is some *slight* language used in our discussion, but as it’s in service of a cheesy eighties flick, we thought it appropriate not to censor it this time around since, you know, it was basically PG-rated dialogue forty-years ago!

So lock your doors, grab your crucifixes and garlic, turn out the lights, settle in with your favorite Autumn-themed drink, and enjoy this extraordinarily fun episode that we guarantee is the perfect way to kickstart your week and inject some much needed Halloween spirit into your Monday morning! As always, y’all, thanks for your love and support! ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
