Title: 77. Remember the Night on Classic Movies and TV Dot Com
In the seventy sixth episode of 12 Days Pod, Cara and Dan discuss how Kermit is responsible for 9/11, Snoop Dogg’s lost cameo, and the cast of Scrubs. They don’t mention at all that Scooter does a cage dance in a skimpy leather outfit but Cara is putting this in the description because you need to know that happens.
Also, sorry for the audio being a touch subpar. We biffed it.

Title: 76. A Very Merry Mediocre Muppet Christmas
Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)
The Festive Fans are off to the “nicest place in the world”, a nation that looks like Christmas itself, with its pine forests, captivating snowfalls, and Hallmark worthy quaint little towns. The people there are so friendly that the place is bursting with joy. They even claim Santa as an official citizen. Yes, that’s right, we are off to our neighbor to the north, Canada, to explore the other parts of the country outside of Quebec. There’s a certain gentleness to it, a politeness that feels downright festive. Even their flag is red and white.
It’s also ironic that we are watching the Canadian film Black Christmas, one of the first and most influential slasher films ever made. It is directed by Bob Clark, the same filmmaker who also gave the world another Christmas classic, A Christmas Story. In 1974, Clark made this stylish horror film about a killer stalking a sorority house during the holidays. It introduced elements that later became popular tropes likes showing the point-of-view of the killer, featuring a male stalker targeting young women with the “final girl” left who is strong and defiant, and the famous line that the “calls are coming from inside the house”. In addition, it has a chilling ambiguous ending where the killer’s identity and motive are left unknown.
And it takes place in Canada — the unlikeliest backdrop for yuletide joy and terror. It is so at odds with the cozy cheer of the host country, but it is also deeply Canadian. There’s something perfectly absurd about both films being shot in a country known globally for its niceness.
Black Christmas is the first of our two “Creepmas in October” films, because there’s something irresistibly entertaining about Christmas horror movies. After a year of mostly feel-good stories, the Festive Fans like to turn the season of goodwill on its head with a refreshing scary twist. We want some ordinary holiday cheer mixed with dark humor and creeping dread. From yuletide laughter to bloodcurdling screams, it can feel a bit cathartic.
Watching Black Christmas and its ilk feels a bit like sneaking a bite of moose tongue at the holiday table— shocking, nauseating, but oddly satisfying. Join us now in the land of Hallmark Christmas movies with charming main streets and crazed killers, snowy landscapes and silent stalkers. We explore this land of Christmas to learn about its festive customs and holidays because Canadians are stereotyped for their generosity — qualities that echo the heart of the holiday season. It is a country that either feels like Christmas year-round or where holiday cheer goes to die. You decide.

Since streamed playlists and all-Christmas radio are the way most people hear Christmas music, they’re fascinations of mine. This week I’m back on the radio beat with long-time radio guy Kevin Robinson.
I wanted to talk to Kevin when I saw a post he wrote for the industry site Barrett Media on best practices for the all-Christmas format shift. Since we talked, he interviewed me along with station programmers about programming Christmas stations and playlists.
In the episode, we hear music from The Glad Singers’ awesome Christmas with a Beat.
We also hear “(There’s No Place Like) Home for the Holidays” by The Carpenters, “Frosty the Snowman” by Esquivel, “O Tannenbaum” by Vince Guaraldi Trio, and “Santa Tell Me” by Ariana Grande.
The episode finishes with the audio from a performance of a Christmas version of PSY’s “Gangnam Style” performed at a benefit fundraiser in Washington, DC with an audience that included President Barack Obama and his family. The video is worth seeing to fully appreciate the moment.

The Favorite Christmas Ever series rolls on — and this time, we’re joined by none other than Brian Herald, one of the beloved cohosts of Deck the Hallmark!
We get cozy and nostalgic as Brian takes us back to his most magical Christmas memories, the traditions that made him fall in love with the season, and the cozy chaos that makes the holidays so unforgettable (there’s also a classic Cousin Seth story mixed in that is a must listen).
It’s warm, witty, and full of that classic Cousins cheer — the kind of episode that makes you want to grab some cocoa, light the tree, and pretend you’re part of the Herald household for the holidays.

What’s up, dudes? Remember MTV? Remember when hen it first started showing something other than videos? We do! I’ve got Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas, Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X’masu, and Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax here to talk Remote Control Christmas! Ken Ober hosted this season 3 episode.
It’s the infamous Christmas episode, and the round begins with the magi competing. Of course, wise as they are, they aren’t too knowledgeable about classic sitcom television. Consequently, they get all the questions wrong except those about Laverne & Shirley.
In round two, a set of real contestants—Joe, Keith, and Kimberly—compete for the prize. Colin Quinn sang twice, and Kari Wuhrer acted out a condensed version of A Christmas Carol. Ultimately, Kimberly’s chair was flipped, leaving Joe against Keith.
Eventually Joe triumphed in the Think Real Fast round, but ultimately floundered in the Grand Prize round. He only identified 5 of the 9 music videos.
Melchior? Check. Balthazar? Got him. Shemp?! Well, Curly died… so grab your remote, eat your snacks, and watch tv with the episode on Remote Control Christmas!

Welcome back Christmas Cousins!
In this episode, we sit down with the one and only Brian Earl, the legendary host of Christmas Past and author “Of Christmases Long, Long Ago”.
We unwrap Brian’s own Christmas origin story — how he fell in love with the season, why he finds it endlessly fascinating, and how he turned his passion into one of the most beloved holiday podcasts around. We also dive into his brand-new book, swap stories about the psychology behind Christmas obsession (we may or may not be the case study), and find out what’s next for Christmas Past.
It’s festive, it’s funny, it’s a sleigh ride through nostalgia and nerdy holiday joy — Christmas Cousins style!
A must-listen for Christmas enthusiasts, nostalgia lovers, and anyone who believes the spirit of the season never fades!
