Christmas Podding

This week on Australia’s ONLY Christmas Podcast, Christmas Podding, we unveil the new spending habits sweeping the world. How Christmas will be effected by the cost of living crisis.

We tackle a Christmas Dilemma. Do you wait for those who are late to Christmas Lunch? Should plans change just because someone is late to the biggest event of the year? plus

How do you deal with end of year Christmas Kids Concerts? No one wants to attend, so how do sit through and bear the unbearable.

We’ll find out this week with Liam and Ness on Christmas Podding.

Merry Christmas you beautiful people.

It’s a packed show and we start off with with our exciting new quiz Santa Banter.  I describe a situation and you have to work out the rhyme.  I bought it at the car boot sale and I’m testing it on you lucky people…  probably only this once.

Next up is Bob Baker with Do You Hear What I Hear and he’s look at ‘pants’.  Bob’s done the research and it’s pretty darn interesting.

Then we take a look at Cozy Little Christmas by Katy Perry. It was a question in last week’s quiz, and I thought I’d never heard of it, turns out I had and it’s not as obscure as I thought.  Plus the video is fun.
Have a watch here:

After that it’s this episode’s version of A Christmas Carol and it is not very good at all.  It’s called “Mrs Scrooge, A Christmas Poem” by Carol Ann Duffy, and it’s a modern take on the legend telling us what happened to Scrooge’s widow.
I read it so you don’t have to.

Then Bob is back with Spread A Smile Of Joy and it was suggested by yours truly.  Why not tidy up your local area with a bit of litter picking, you’ll feel great and your neighbours will be pleased as well.
Check out Bob’s pod here:

Last week we looked at the history of Christmas trees, this week we’re looking at the history of one particular tree, perhaps the world’s most famous Christmas tree, the one at the Rockefeller centre.

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

So it’s Season 2.  We are older and wiser.  Or, with all the traditional food and drink from last season, maybe just older and wider.  We have a much broader view now and we are keeping our chins up … all of them.  To kick off the season, we didn’t want to rush into it with something simple or easy.  No Disney here.  We travel to Slovakia, the twin sister to the Czech Republic, which we covered in Episode 8.  The story in “Let There Be Light” is complicated, messy and layered, which the same is true of us Festive Fans.  And we have more layers now!  What a way to start!

This film leaves us so intrigued with the mystery of Slovokia.  It was difficult to find any details about the actors, the music, and the country.  While still young, this independent upstart is entering its thirties, but still having growing pains, which only leaves us more curious to visit.  Plus, we want to try some of that hot and sweet cabbage soup  Bob is a bit unsatified with the end of the movie, so we just distract him with this episode’s song.  You put this holiday burner on and you’ll forget all about the movie.  As we like to say in Season 2, “Are you 4Fing kidding me?”

Happy Thursday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Fourth of July to all of our American listeners!

Since we didn’t get a chance to record a bonus Independence Day episode this year, we’re releasing another episode that was originally intended to drop on Patreon instead! (Hence the explicit tag for language!) Think of it as a second “Summerween” treat, for Anthony is once again joined by his friend, Cookie, to continue their journey on the “Road to ‘MaXXXine‘”. This time, they’re sitting down to discuss the Ti West/A24 2022 film, “Pearl” which serves as the “X-traordinary origin story” to “X“!

Listen as they dive deep into the plot of this character study that just happens to contain horror elements, explore its relatable themes, laugh a lot over some pretty uncomfortable moments, and much, much more!

This is a really fun one, so give it a listen and stay tuned – for Anthony and Cookie have one final episode coming quite soon as well: a discussion about the brand new, just-releasing-this-weekend, “MaXXXine“, the final installment of this unique horror trilogy!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! And keep an eye on your podcast feeds Monday morning for your regularly scheduled Christmas programming where Anthony, Julia, and Thom will be reviewing 2023’s “Silent Night“! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

It’s the 4th of July on this podcast, which means we’re roughly halfway to Christmas! So what better way to celebrate than with the most 4th of July movie of them all: Jaws!

You know Jaws. It’s the granddaddy of all killer shark movies. It’s Steven Spielberg’s first breakout hit. It’s the movie that made summer the season of blockbuster movies. And more than just being historically important, Jaws is just an all-around damn good movie.

Crack open a cold Narragansett and join us as we break down everything that makes this movie tick, why it’s still revered as a classic, and whether or not news of an exploding whale influenced the film’s ending!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy First Day of July! We’re barreling ever-closer to those ‘Ber Months with more than a few big milestones along the way to be hit this month! How exciting is that?

Less exciting is the film the elves are covering this week: the 2023 Netflix Original Movie, “Family Switch“! While they thought they escaped the worst-of-the-worst content after clawing their way out of June’s “Bad Sequels” month, this movie certainly didn’t make them feel that way; it even elicited a rant from Anthony the likes of which you haven’t heard since our “Ernest Saves Christmas” episode! But is the movie really that bad? Is there any semblance of heart or holiday cheer to make this one worth watching? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out! One thing’s for certain though: regardless of the film’s quality, this is yet another fun, festive episode of “Tis the Podcast” you want to be sure not to miss!

And speaking of not wanting to miss anything: check out the bonus “Summerween” episode that dropped in your podcast feeds yesterday, in which Anthony and his friend Cookie talk the Ti West/A24 film “X“! It’s a good time, and essential listening before seeing “MaXXXine” later this week!

So settle back and enjoy, y’all! As always, thanks for your love and support! We love and appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

What’s up, dudes? If you can find the images hidden in this episode, then you can win big prizes! I’ve got Mike Westfall of  Advent Calendar House and Chad Young from Horror Movie BBQ here with me to all about “Finders Keepers!” Yes, the Wesley Eure led game show pit two teams against each other as they found hidden objects and caused chaos!

Synopsis

In the first 1987 episode, red team and blue team content with an image of a bear dressed in a Santa costume stuck in a chimney. Blue team pulls away with an early lead and searches three rooms to the red team’s one. In the second round, both teams search an image of skateboarder for hidden items. Again, blue team dominates and earns the right to search 3 rooms compared the red team’s one. Blue team wins and runs the Room to Room Romp, which takes the form of the twelve days of Christmas. Unfortunately, they come up short.

In the second episode, the two opposing teams must discover the hidden objects within an image of an oversized Hanukkah dreidel. Both red and blue teams get to search two rooms. The second image is the announcer Harvey in a Santa suit. The blue team earns the right to search one room while the red team gets to search two. The red team finds the secret room and wins a trip to Disney World. They lose the final round, however.

Santa Bear? Yup. Obstacle helmets? Check. Hanukkah tie in? Only if it’s hidden under a latke. So put on your helmet, grab your light pen, and circle the object to this episode on “Finders Keepers!”

Happy Sunday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Last Day of June!

Since we didn’t get a chance to record a bonus Fourth of July episode this year, we’re releasing an episode that was originally intended to drop on Patreon instead! (Hence the explicit tag for language!) Think of it as a special “Summerween” treat, as it’s an episode that covers a movie that takes place in July, but it’s a horror film as well! It’s also timely given the fact that the movie “MaXXXine” is releasing later this week, and this is the first installment of that trilogy!

Anthony is joined by his friend, Cookie, to discuss the Ti West/A24 2022 film, “X“! This movie, which first introduced the world to Mia Goth’s already iconic Maxine Minx, features a group of actors that set out to make an adult film in rural Texas under the noses of the reclusive hosts of the farm they’re staying at. However, when the elderly couple catches their young guests in the act, the cast finds themselves in a desperate fight for their lives.

Listen as Anthony and Cookie dive deep into the plot of this modern horror classic, explore its themes of aging and lost opportunities, laugh over the absurdity of the plot, which features two eighty-year-old slashers the script tries to convince us are formidable, and much, much more!

This is a really fun one, so give it a listen and stay tuned – for Anthony and Cookie have two more episodes coming quite soon as well: a discussion about the prequel to this film, “Pearl“, and an episode about the upcoming sequel, “MaXXXine“!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! And keep an eye on your podcast feeds tomorrow morning for your regularly scheduled Christmas programming where Anthony, Julia, and Thom will be reviewing 2023’s Netflix Original Movie, “Family Switch“! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Road to “MaXXXine” Part One – I Will Not Accept A Life I Do Not Deserve – An “X” Retrospective

Tis the Podcast'

Welcome to episode 115 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the 1962 compilation, “Young Christmas.”

[]

I hope you enjoyed “Young Christmas.” It’s one of my favorite albums, not just because of the music, but also because of how scarce it is, and how lucky I was to get such an affordable copy. When I started researching this, I didn’t realize this would turn into a True Crime episode, at least in part. There was a lot more I could have added to Katsumi Shigeru’s story, but after multiple cuts and edits, I still had to adjust the tempo on that part of the episode to get it to fit within the running time of the song.

I lost a fair amount of sleep, but I’m glad I was able to get this out before the end of the month. I’m still a little behind schedule, but I’m going to try to get a few things done this week so that I’m not scrambling at the last minute with my Christmas In July episodes. If things work out, I might add another episode to my July schedule.

That said, join me back here next month for at least two really fun episodes. Up first is the 1970 album, “X’mas Golden Hits” by the Candle-Light Orchestra and the Singers Three. It has a great New Sound vibe, and if you liked Kayo Ishu’s “Scat Christmas,” you’re sure to enjoy this one. Then join me on the 25th for my fifth annual Christmas In July special. I’ll cover a selection of tropical and summery Christmas songs. It’s always an enjoyable episode and you won’t want to miss it.

As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

Mary’s Merry Christmas Podcast S2 E11 Christmas in July

Mary's Merry Christmas Podcast

Welcome to episode 114 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the 1963 album, “Merry Christmas Everyone – Folk Dance Party,” produced by Teruaki Kawamura and the Japan Recreation Association.

I hope you enjoyed “Merry Christmas Everyone.” Despite the objections to it and the song’s problematic history, I’ve always been fascinated with Japan’s relationship to “Turkey In The Straw.” I’ve had a few people tell me I should avoid it altogether, but as I stated in the episode, it’s something you really can’t avoid if you’re collecting Japanese Christmas music. It was on one of the very first Japanese Christmas albums I bought, so I’ve known about its history for almost as long as I’ve been collecting. I knew I’d be covering it eventually, and considering how the Japan Recreation Association, Winfield Niblo, square dancing, and “Turkey In The Straw” are all tied to one another, I figured this was the best episode for broaching the topic. Racism and discrimination are always wrong, but history is never cut and dried, and the fact that the song helped bring about positive cultural and social changes in Japan is an important, or at least interesting footnote in any discussion about it.

Join me back here next time for the 1962 compilation, “Young Christmas.” It’s one of the more difficult albums to find. It features some of the most popular young artists of the time, and it’s a real treat you’re sure to enjoy.

As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
