The Charmings “Yes, Lillian, there is a Santa Claus” (w/ Anthony Caruso)

What’s up, dudes? It’s Snow White in the ‘80s, and I’ve got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast with me to talk about it! That’s right. We’re talking “The Charmings” and its 1987 Christmas episode, ‘Yes, Lillian, There Is a Santa Claus!’

It’s Christmas time at the Charmings’ household, and Lillian is Scroogier than ever. She tries to ruin their Christmas spirit with a snowstorm! The Charmings, however, turn disaster into fun, having snowball fights and building snowmen. Even the Magic Mirror is in the holiday mood.

Thoroughly infuriated, Lillian  tells the children that there is no Santa Claus, and is convincing enough that they believe her. Snow White begs her to do the right thing, play Santa, and get gifts for the kids anyway. Lillian has quite a shock when the real Santa arrives at the Charming house and finds no “true believers” left there. Since Santa only delivers gifts to true believers, Lillian has a crisis of conscience. She uses her powers to correct the damage she has done, and get presents for everyone.

Sassy mirror? Check. One of the seven dwarves as a mall elf? Got it. Hip Santa with a leather jacket, jeans, and no beard? Only if he’s played by the waiter from “Scrooged!” So grab your sword, put on your cap, and build your He-Man village to this episode all about “The Charmings!”

Follow up: Alonso Duralde discusses Cousin Seth’s Christmas Movie Starter Kit!

Welcome back Christmas Cousins!
The Christmas Cousins are joined by the one and only Alonso Duralde for a festive film faceoff. Remember those five must-watch movies Alonso assigned to Seth in November, his Christmas Movie Starter Kit? Well, it’s judgment day!Did Seth diligently watch them all, or did procrastination get the best of him? Join us as Seth spills the cocoa on his holiday movie marathon…AND we even have another impromptu Egg Nog tasting (it is becoming a rite of passage on the show!).

From heartwarming classics to hidden gems, Seth will share his unfiltered thoughts on each film. Did any of them put him to sleep faster than a post-Thanksgiving dinner nap? Did the Christmas spirit reach full throttle, or did he remain a festive freshman? Alonso will be there to witness the verdict and, of course, offer his expert insights.

It’s a yuletide rendezvous filled with laughter, movie musings, and the unveiling of Seth’s Christmas movie preferences. Join the holiday hilarity as we unwrap the cinematic surprises and see if Alonso’s Christmas Movie Starter Kit passed the ultimate festive test!

Yogi Bear’s All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper (w/ Jeff Loftin)

What’s up, dudes? It’s Hanna-Barbera time, so that means I’ve got Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas with me to talk all about the 1982 special “Yogi Bear’s All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper!” It’s the sequel to “Yogi’s First Christmas,” and it shows! The story behind the production is super heartwarming, though, so this special succeeds nonetheless.

Huckleberry Hound and friends pay Yogi a surprise visit in Jellystone, but the tenacious bear isn’t home. Instead, he and Boo-boo have gone to the city to surprise his friends for Christmas as well! Ah, the hijinks of pre-cell phone days! To escape capture, Yogi becomes a department store Santa and befriends a little girl named Judy. Together they run off to avoid Animal Control. As it turns out, Judy  is the daughter of tycoon J. Wellington Jones, and he’s out for blood! With local authorities hunting them down, Yogi enlists all his HB friends to find Judy’s family. Spoiler alert: Yogi is arrested. Mr. Jones drops all charges when he realizes how absent he’s been in Judy’s life. They all then spend a happy Christmas together!

QuickDraw McGraw? Yep. Snagglepuss? Uh huh. Fourth wall-breaking cameo from Fred Flintstone? Definitely! So grab your Santa suit, scam a picnic basket from an unsuspecting couple, and sing carols in the snow by a rotating fire with this episode on “Yogi Bear’s All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper!”

Episode 15: Echo (Iceland) … and Happy New Year!

It’s a new episode, a new year, and an exciting new country for the Festive Fans!  For the start of 2024, we travel to Iceland — a country with dramatic landscapes full of giant glaciers and fiery volcanos.  Such extreme contrasts also underscore the movie Echo.  This intimate film is equally humorous and heart-breaking.  It is a probe of contemporary Iceland at the holidays, with 56 separate scenes highlighting the minutiae, quirks and idiosyncrasies of daily life.  Once you get past expectations of a fluid storyline, Echo has a real-life poignancy with its authentic detail, nuanced emotion, and universal themes.  This movie leaves a lasting impression through its small and quiet moments. Plus, we also explore the magical Yuletide customs of this land, with its dark winter nights lit by the celestial Northern lights.  So get cozy, lick a spoon, put on your new duds, and put aside your book for our love letter to an Icelandic Christmas!

New Year’s Eve Bonus: How did Cousin Seth celebrate Christmas? And Season 3 Announcement!

Welcome back Christmas Cousins!

After a short hiatus where Cousin Chad was on a break and Cousin Seth was circumnavigating the globe on one of his private jets, we are back to answer the big question around of the world…

After we all journeyed along together, starting with the fall and Pumpkin Spice season, through Thanksgiving and the holidays, how was our beloved festive freshman Cousin Seth’s Christmas?

He did everything this fall and holiday season-from tasting everything pumpkin and peppermint related, to interviewing guests who helped guide him down the right path to movie and T reviews, game shows and more but was his actual Christmas Eve and Christmas day a huge success…or did it wilt under the weight of his lofty expectations ?

Tune in to find out!

Also, BIG announcement: SEASON 3 starts right after New Year with a full slate of new episodes planned all winter, spring and summer right up through next fall and holiday so the Christmas Cousins will be here for you all year long!

Thanks to all of you for the continued overwhelming support and enthusiasm.

We are looking forward to an amazing 2024 with all of our Christmas Cousins out there!!!

“Kids, Incorporated: Rock in the New Year” (w/ Shawn and Sean)

What’s up, dudes? Everybody look around, hear the sound. Something special’s gonna come your way when Shawn Robare from Cult Film Club, Crestwood House, and Plastic Rocket Pop and Sean Sotka from the Christmas Podcasts Podcast join me to talk “Kids, Incorporated!” They even had a New Year’s Eve special where they rock in the New Year!

In this Dec 31st clip show, Kids, Incorporated are rehearsing in the garage when Riley breaks the bad news. Apparently, his latest invention exploded and covered The P*lace in ice cream! Everything is ruined, and the New Year’s Eve party must be canceled! Despondent, the kids reprimand him and begin to sulk when Stacy finds their old New Year’s resolutions.

As they comb through each others’ resolutions, they reminisce about particular instances: Ryan trying to fit in, Renee attempting to be a better sister, Gloria getting her tonsils removed, the Kid stealing Gloria’s fame, and Stacy helping a has-been trombone player. The kids realize that their friendship has gotten them through hard times, and apologize to Riley. Luckily, as the plot demanded, Riley found a substitute venue and the party is back on! Oh, and lots of singing ensues!

Clip show flashbacks? Check. Perfectly convenient plot contrivances? Got ‘em. Killer tunes sung while wearing sequins tuxedos? Definitely! So grab your guitar, pick up a microphone, and rock out to this episode on “Kids, Incorporated: Rock in the New Year!”
