Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick (an encore presentation)

In 2021, I interviewed Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick, a band I’ve only grown to appreciate more over the years. They released their first three albums–Cheap Trick, In Color and Heaven Tonight–in 18 months, and Dream Police followed a whole year later. They toured constantly at the time, which makes that productivity all the more impressive.

In 2017, they released a Christmas album, Christmas Christmas, an album that’s easy to like and easier to admire after Petersson talks about the inspirations for the songs.

I talked to Petersson because the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers had a new album out, In Another World, and the conversation was a lot about what a band that tours as much as they do does when COVID forces it off the road.

Year 2? Season 4? Woohoo! 🍂and Cousin Seth does it again…just wait until you hear about his drink option!

 

The Cousins are back, and this autumn, they’re going Falls deep!!!

 

With Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte hitting the shelves, the Christmas Cousins are declaring it their official “Opening Day” of autumn. Forget baseball, school, or pools—this is the real kickoff to the season that matters.

 

Join Cousin Seth, Chad, and the ever-enthusiastic Christmas Aficionado, Joe (on YouTube and IG @Christmas_Aficionado), as they guide you through the ultimate fall experience.

 

From Seth’s new autumn adventures to classic seasonal traditions, they’ve got it all covered.

 

The PSL is here, and so are the Cousins (and honorary Cousin, Joe) ready to sip, savor, and critique the 2024 edition of this fall staple with their signature wit.

 

Pumpkin is back, the leaves are turning, and the Cousins are diving into fall with full cups and even fuller hearts. Rejoice, fall lovers—your time has come!

 

AUDIENCE QUESTION:

What’s your go-to fall drink, and do you think the Pumpkin Spice Latte deserves its place as the ultimate sign of the season, or is it overhyped?

Welcome back Christmas Cousins!

In Episode 137 of the Christmas Cousins Podcast, Cousin Seth and Cousin Chad dive headfirst into Hallmark’s fall movie lineup with Seth’s sophomore journey into the world of Hallmark fall releases.

 

Armed with a pumpkin spice latte (possibly vegan, probably spiked) and a hefty dose of curiosity, the Cousins discuss the films that have them eager for cozy movie nights and those they might skip entirely.

 

From the much-anticipated reunion of Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott in “His & Hers” to the spooky vibes of “Haunted Wedding,” they’ll give their unfiltered, fun, and witty take on what Hallmark has in store this fall.

 

And of course, we’ll catch up with Seth on how he’s handling his second season of Hallmark movie madness. Grab your favorite fall beverage and settle in for a cozy, laugh-filled episode!

Audience Question:

“What’s the Hallmark fall movie you’re most excited about this season? Do you prefer the cozy romances or the spooky surprises? Let us know!”

The Princess Bride (w/ Saturday Morning Mafia)

 What’s up, dudes? It’s time for another Christmas-adjacent episode! This time, I’ve got the Saturday Morning Mafia with me to talk about “The Princess Bride!” Yep, it’s Christmas time, and Columbo—erm, Peter Falk—reads his sick grandson a fantasy story. There’s fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles… in other words, it doesn’t sound too bad.

Westley the farm boy falls in love with Buttercup. When he goes off to seek fortune to marry her, his ship is lost at sea. Years pass, and Buttercup is now betrothed to Prince Humperdinck. Suddenly, she’s kidnapped by a giant, a Spaniard fencer, and a criminal mastermind. A mysterious man in black eventually rescues and reclaims her, and reveals himself to be her Wesley.

Unfortunately, it’s all a plot to start a war, and Buttercup’s murder will be the inciting scapegoat. Consequently, Westley is mostly killed, and the Spaniard and giant revive him with help from a disgraced Billy Crystal…I mean, Miracle Max. With their assets combined, they bluff their way into the castle, get revenge on all the baddies, and escape to live happily ever after. Oh, and there’s some kissing in it too.

Fred Savage? Yep. Andre the Giant? Got him. Masters of the Universe toys and Santas in the background! Inconceivable!! So grab your sword, put on a holocaust cloak, and hop in your wheelbarrow to this episode on “The Princess Bride!”

Episode 114 – Christmas Cake with Cheese

Merry Christmas you beautiful people!

It’s a packed episode filled to the brim with Christmas joy.

We start the show with a version of A Christmas Carol from 1913 starring Seymour Hicks.  They’ve made some interesting choices.
You can watch it here:

The Bob Baker explains the difference between a yard and a garden in Do You Hear What I Hear.

This episodes joke comes from the lovely Pamel Wooten. We may have had it before but who cares?

Last week we looked at the Yorkshire Christmas Pie, and this week we look at another Yorkshire tradition.  Christmas cake with cheese.

It’s been two years since we’ve had The Worst Christmas Present Ever segment, so I’ve scoured the internet and found some for you.

Then Bob is back with Spread A Smile of Joy and there are many people who don’t celebrate Christmas, so why not share their holidays.
Check out Bob’s podcast, Festive Foreigh Film Fans, here:
https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/

Then we have The Christmas Quiz.  I scored a respectable 7, see how you get on.

If you want to get in touch I’d love to hear from you.

A UFO-Friendly, Spotify-Protesting Christmas with The Pocket Gods

I don’t usually get to end a conversation on Christmas music with memories of radio legend Art Bell and his late night deep dive into the paranormal, After Dark with Art Bell. But that’s what happened when I talked to Mark Christopher Lee of the British lo-fi indie rock band The Pocket Gods. It took a lot of discipline not to end the show with After Dark’s theme, “Chase” by Giorgio Moroder. Instead, the episode ends with “Merry Christmas to the Drunks, Merry Christmas to the Lovers,” a new-to-me track by the Edinburgh indie band ballboy.

My conversation with Lee on The Pocket Gods covers a lot of ground as we talk about influential British DJ John Peel, Phil Spector, John Cage, and the way Lee morphed the band into a conceptual art project that explored how musicians do and don’t get paid in a streaming ecosystem dominated by Spotify.

Late in the conversation, we talk about Lee’s forays into documentary films. You can find Weird: The Life and Times of a Pocket God, Inspired: The 30-Second Song Movie, God Versus Aliens, and The King of UFOs: Royal UFO Secrets Revealed at Tubitv.com or the Tubi Roku app.

All of the music on today’s show is available at the iTunes Store, but 2021’s A Quantum Christmas Song, which is more than 115 hours long, can only be purchased as a full album and requires more than 8 GB of disc space to download. I think Mark will understand if you choose to stream rather than buy that one.

Which ones are worth your time, which ones are a total flop, and which ones perfectly capture that cozy, autumnal magic in a cup?

 

We’ll break it all down and figure out which creamers hit the sweet spot, which ones crash and burn, and which one truly embodies fall in a cup!

Audience Question:

What’s your go-to fall creamer or flavor? Have you tried any new seasonal creamers this year? Tell us which ones you love and which ones you’d leave on the shelf!

Dinosaucers “There’s No Such Thing as Stego-Claws” (w/ Shawn Robare)

What’s up, dudes? Merry Dinosaur Day! Shawn Robare from Cult Film Club, Crestwood House, and Plastic Rocket Pop and I talk the 1987 cartoon “Dinosaucers!” It’s good dinos versus evil tyrannos as two dinosaur alien factions fight for freedom!

It’s Dinosaur Day on Reptilon, and the Dinosaucers are set to return to their home planet for the celebration. The Tyrannos decide to spoil it for Bonehead by telling him Stego-Claws isn’t real. Consequently, the dejected dino refuses to go back home for the holiday. Luckily. He’s visited by the actual Stego-Claws who takes him and David on a trip to deliver presents on Reptilon in his sledosaucer pulled by Rude Ralph the red-nosed rhamphorhynchus.

The Tyrannos ambush the trio at Stego-Claws’s workshop. Using furball elves and Bonehead’s devolved pachycephalosaur self, the trio escapes and delivers presents to good dinosaucers. At another house, they again encounter the Tyrannos, and again, with Stego-Claws’s magic, they defeat them. Bonehead and David return to Earth, and, with renewed belief, Bonehead joins his friends for Dinosaur Day.

Stego-Claws? Check. Rude Ralph? Yep. Saucertoe? Well, they don’t have missiles on Reptilon! So put your finger aside your snout, hop in your sledosaucer, and fly to this Dinosaucers Christmas episode!

Transformers UK Comics Christmas Issues pt2 (w/ Jerzy Drozd)

 What’s up, dudes? There’s more than meets the eye here with illustrator and podcaster Jerzy Drozd as we talk all about Transformers UK comics Christmas issues! From Starscream to Optimus Prime, we get into all of it, and deck the halls with boughs of Hot Rod…waitasec…. Yes, it’s Transformers Christmas miracle edition!

In Transformers #145 from 1987, Starscream feels homesick, which shows that even evil robots can get the Christmas blues. As he ponders his plight, a young boy tries to teach him the meaning of Christmas. He encourages the Decepticon to explore emotions and actions of goodwill, even convincing him to help a bus full of elderly folks. Unfortunately, Streetwise the Autobot attacks him, thinking his intent is for ill. The boy admonishes Streetwise for his unprompted cavalier assault, and the Autobot watches helplessly as the Decepticon rescues the stuck bus. Streetwise apologizes and escorts the bus to safety, leaving Starscream ultimately to reflect on the experience. Turns out, he didn’t like helping, but he thoroughly enjoyed humiliating his enemy.

In Transformers #198 from 1988, a newly resurrected Optimus Prime, now a Power Master, mulls over his attachment to Earth with indifference. As he isolates himself to think, the other Power Masters see on the news a town destroyed by giant robots. Inevitably suspecting Decepticon involvement, thee heroes investigate, only to find the culprits were Autobots overindulged in Christmas shenanigans. Of course Optimus Prime finds them all, and renews there commitment to protect the citizens of Earth. Indubitably, it’s a glorious day!

Giant robot fights? Yep. Good versus evil? Got it. A story about nothing? Only a very Seinfeldian one! So hop in your robot buddy and roll out to this episode on Transformers Christmas comics!
