What’s up, dudes? It’s Christmas Eve! Yes, tonight we begin Christmastide, so I’ve got Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast and Art Kilmer from A Cozy Christmas with to talk about Hanna-Barbera! No, not Yogi or Fred Flintstone, it’s The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible “The Nativity!”

Several Gospel pericopes are concatenated in this 1987 straight-to-video animated feature. While surveying the sight of some ancient ruins, two young archaeologists, Derek and Margo, and their nomad friend Moki find themselves trapped and sinking in a whirlpool full of sand. When the dust settles, they stare up in awe at a vast chamber filled with giant relics and artifacts from another civilization. And there at the far end of the cavern, a door with a strange inscription: All who enter these portals pass through time!

Finding themselves in the 1st century BC Holy Land, the trio arrive in time for Caesar Augustus’s decree. Accordingly, St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary make the trek to Bethlehem, their ancestral home. Simultaneously the Magi follow a star to Bethlehem in search of a new king. The trio meet a shepherd boy named Yasha who leads them to Jerusalem, where they discover Herod’s plot to have the Magi followed. That night they see the Angel’s proclamation of great joy, and follow some shepherds to the inn where Jesus was born.

An inn with no room? Check. Magi following a star? Got it. Adoring the Holy Family? Definitely! So grab your gold, frankincense, and myrrh, hop on a camel, and head to Bethlehem with this episode! O come, let us adore him in The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible “The Nativity!”

 What’s up, dudes? It’s 1988, and Jim Varney cashed in on his signature character from countless commercial! Laramy Wells from Moving Panels, DJ Chad Sheppard, and Robert Nicholas from Behind the Bells join me to talk all about “Ernest Saves Christmas!” What a wild ride!

Ernest P. Worell, a sweet but silly taxi driver who at times suffers delusions of grandeur, has just chauffeured a rather extraordinary fare: “His Great Red Oneness, the Claus” himself. Santa has neither the will nor magic for another Christmas season, and has come to Orlando, Florida for Joe Carruthers, whom he has chosen as his successor.

Things quickly begin to unravel, however, thanks to Joe’s meddling agent and Santa’s increasingly unreliable memory. Incredibly, dimwitted Ernest soon becomes Santa’s only hope! Joining forces with a young runaway named “Harmony Star,” Ernest rushes to save the holidays as we know them. Oh, and Joe does inherit the mantle of Santa. Consequently, Christmas is saved!

Disguises? Check. Quirky characters? Yep. Christmas magic? Definitely! So put on your cap and vest, hope in your have and drive into this episode on “Ernest Saves Christmas!” KnoWhutIMean?
