Backstory: Wren Day

The small, unassuming wren may be nothing much to look at, but wait till it starts singing. Its loud, complex songs, and its tendency to sing them throughout winter, has earned it the title of “King of Birds.” But on December 26, the king is dead. Wren Day is a traditional hunting of the wren, followed by celebrations that include disguise, door-to-door visiting and parading, and song. It’s certainly one of our most strange and mysterious Christmas customs, a mixture of Celtic mythology, old Christmas traditions, and revenge for giving away secrets. Tiernan Gaffney from the National Museum of Ireland joins Brian to tell the story.

Special thanks to Lewis Barfoot for permission to include her beautiful rendition of The Wren Song!

Christmas Was Knocking On Wellington’s Front Door. (That Christmas)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Or should we say: Happy Christmas Adam, Happy Tibb’s Eve, Happy the Day Before the Night Before Christmas, and Happy December 23rd!? Whatever you’d call it, we are only two days from Christmas 2024! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone?!

To mark the occasion, Julia, Thom, and Anthony gather to discuss the brand-new, 2024, Netflix-holiday film, “That Christmas“! While many of our listeners seem to have a lot of love for this one, the elves are decidedly more mixed! Nevertheless, this a fun and festive discussion that’s also filled with talk about why Anthony’s mind was in the gutter while watching this film, rumors about the upcoming “Harry Potter” television series on HBO, and Anthony’s recent Christmassy foray into New York City!

So, settle back, relax, and enjoy this fun episode that’s sure to put you in the holiday mood and kick off the week of Christmas the correct way! And make sure to check your podcast feeds tomorrow for your annual Christmas Eve story! Fans of “The Office“, in particular, will want to make sure to tune in for that one!

Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol

🎄It’s 2010, and I’m hiding in a closet from a flying shark that ate half my screwdriver.

I’ve finally caught up with the timeline of people who have been requesting that I watch the “Doctor Who” Christmas specials, particularly this twisted take on “A Christmas Carol” starring Michael Gambon in the Scrooge role and the 11th Doctor as at least 2 ghosts of Christmas.

****

🎙 Guests:

Andre Bennett (Bluesky)

Jack Ford (Total Christmas Podcast)

Anthony Strand (ToughPigs.com, Movin’ Right Along, Bluesky)

****

💬 Topics & Tangents:

1. Andre’s review of this episode from 2011.

2. Anthony ranks all of Steven Moffat’s “Doctor Who” episodes.

3. Amy and Rory’s outfits may or may not be but probably are a nod to a similar scene in a 2001 “Only Fools and Horses” Christmas special.

4. Michael Gambon in “Toys,” as the Ultragorgon on Jim Henson’s “Monster Maker,” and as the Ghost of Christmas Present in 2001’s “Christmas Carol: The Movie.”

5. Abigail is basically Nora Fries from Batman.

6. Katherine Jenkins on “Dancing with the Stars.”

7. Danny Horn (Young Adult Kazran) on Bandcamp.

8. Greenland sharks could live for hundreds of years.

9. “Abigail’s Song (Silence Is All You Know)”

****

Vice Versa (w/ Tim and Nicholas)

What’s up, dudes? Body swap films were huge back in the day. Did you know there’s even one set at Christmas starring Fred Svage and Judge Reinhold? Tim Williams from 80’s Flick Flashback and Nicholas Pepin of Pop Culture Roulette did, and they’re with me to talk about “Vice Versa!”

Upon returning from a buying trip abroad for the department store where he works, divorced executive Marshall finds that he is in possession of a strange ornamental skull. He is looking after his 11-year-old son Charlie for a few days. The skull has special powers, and when Marshall and Charlie simultaneously wish they were each other’s age, they switch bodies.

Now Charlie must go to work, and Marshall must go to school. Charlie must also deal with Marshall’s girlfriend Sam. Furthermore, a smuggling duo is in pursuit of the skull. Can the father/son combo switch back before the smugglers get to them? Will they save the day? Eventually, yes they will. Also, it’s a bit creepy that Charlie has kissed his dad’s girlfriend.

Ancient mystical artifact? Check. Bumbling antagonists? Of course. Impromptu proposal? Only if your spirit is in your dad’s body! So grab your magic skull, say, “I wish,” and jam out to this episode on “Vice Versa!”

A Chipmunk Christmas (w/ Jeff and Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? Alvin, Simon…Theodore! Yes, it’s the Dave Seville (Ross Bagdasarian) musical rodent creation! Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa are with me to dig into the 1981 special  “A Chipmunk Christmas!”

Swept up in the Christmas spirit, Alvin gives away his cherished harmonica to a sick little boy. Meanwhile, Dave has booked Alvin to perform a harmonica solo at Carnegie Hall. Alvin keeps the loss of his harmonica a secret from Dave, and with the help of Simon and Theodore, he scrambles to earn enough money to buy another harmonica in time for his Carnegie Hall debut. Unfortunately, Dave mistakes his entrepreneurial endeavors for greed. Don’t worry, though: Mrs. Claus buys Alvin the harmonica and the concert goes on as scheduled, with Dave discovering his true motivations.

Along the way you’ll hear the Chipmunks getting ready for the big night, singing their own comical versions of holiday favorites like “Jingle Bells,” “Deck the Halls”, and their famous “Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)”. This heartwarming story, brimming with joyful music, makes “A Chipmunk Christmas” a great way to celebrate the holidays. Oh, and there was a soundtrack album released as well.
