We celebrate Easter with Rankin Bass’s The Easter Bunny Is Comin’ to Town (1977), kicking off our year of the ’70s! We also eat some snacks and play an Easter March Madness game.

Show notes:

You can now stream/download our Easter Parade album for free.

Vista Blue did not get our baseball songs released in time for Opening Day. They’ll be out in April, but you can hear a bunch of our baseball songs here.

Here’s the final PLA Comic, with a Papaw Maloney’s reference at the end.

Also, King Richard is NOT a quitter and has just released a new episode of Another Prank Call Show, which includes more of Papaw Maloney’s attempt to take over the world (or at least your HOA), along with lots of Twin Peaks fun.

And here’s The Guy Who Sings Your Name Over and Over.

We’re back for our fifth season, and we start by revisiting Scrooged (1988), a film neither of us has really enjoyed in the past. Will we change our minds this time?

Next we discuss Bing Crosby’s “Jingle Bells,” followed by “Hang an Ornament” by Grandaddy and Band of Horses.

Finally, we discuss some Christmas episodes of the Hit Parade Podcast.

Notes:

• Scrooged horror trailer: https://youtu.be/eIqmIaSBW4A
• The last song is by Bruiser Queen. Check them out here: https://bruiserqueen.bandcamp.com/
• Sorry for the weird random static sounds that pop up a few times near the beginning. It may have been because of the football game I was watching. I think it has something to do with my cell phone, but it is never consistent enough to find the problem. I’ll keep trying!
