To mark the occasion, Santa Claus himself – Matt Spaulding of “North Pole Radio” – joins the “Tis the Podcast” elves this week to discuss the brand new, Disney Plus original holiday film, “The Naughty Nine“!

Anthony is on warpath in this episode, raging against modern-Disney movies and the ability of the child actors they continue to cast, pitting him against Julia, Thom, and Matt – who all really enjoyed the movie – in an absolute Battle Royale of a discussion!

This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they journey into the realm of Netflix Original Holiday Movies to cover the 2021, stop-motion musical animated short, “Robin Robin“!

In a turn of events that doesn’t often happen, Anthony and Thom find themselves on the same side of the divide in this episode against Julia, who adores this special! Why do the boys hate it? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out! Though Anthony has a theory the British element might have something to do with it if History is any indicator!

Despite their differences of opinion, this is one cheery and festive episode you want to be sure not to miss! So, settle in with your favorite holiday-flavored-drink, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️ 🍂🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy November! We are officially in the most wonderful time of the year!

To kick off the official start of the holiday season, the elves decide to delve into the large and ever-growing world of Hallmark Christmas movies by covering the 2022 original, “Haul Out the Holly” – starring the channel’s new indisputable queen, Lacey Chabert!

How does this film fare to the plethora of royal-themed content that the channel puts out and the elves tend to prefer? And does it do anything to wet the hosts’ whistle for 2023’s upcoming sequel? You’ll just have to tune in to find out, but one thing’s for certain – this is one merry episode you want to be sure not to miss!

So settle in with your favorite Starbucks holiday drink, sit back and relax in front of your Christmas tree, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️ 🍂🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Tuesday Christmas fanatics!

Apologies again that this episode is dropping a day late, but as you know – life gets in the way at times! Which is also the reason why Thom is absent from this episode and we had to reshuffle our schedule a bit! So while we were originally planning our return to Halloweentown this week, instead, Julia and Anthony continue the show’s sojourn through Spooky Season by traveling to Elm Street and Camp Crystal Lake to cover the 2003 Slash of the Titans, “Freddy vs. Jason“!

Not only has Julia never seen this movie before, but she’s never seen any movie featuring Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees before! Which, of course, makes her the perfect elf to host tonight’s show! What does she think of it? Well, you can probably guess – but that doesn’t make this episode any less entertaining! Especially since she finds herself at odds with Anthony who unabashedly loves this film!

Listen as your two hosts walk you through the plot beat-by-nonsensical-beat, critique the horrific acting, and fill in key pieces of context and history from the two iconic slashers individual franchises as needed! Also discussed: Mike Flanagan’s various horror shows; Amazon Prime’s new film, “Totally Killer“; the teased “Seinfeld” revival; the Halloween plans of Julia’s children; and the end of Anthony’s hunt for Hallmark’s popular Betty White/Rose Nylund “The Golden Girls” ornament!

This is one fun episode you want to be sure not to miss! (As is the bonus episode we dropped in your feeds this past Sunday, so make sure you give that one a download and listen as well!) So settle back with your Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, put your feet up, and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support y’all!  ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian friends and family! We are so thankful for all of you and hope that you have an amazing one!

This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony continue their Spooky Season journey by returning to Woodsboro – or at least the set of Woodsboro at Sunrise Studios – to cover the film, “Scream 3”, which, in the year 2000, was meant to serve as the definitive ending of the “Scream” trilogy/franchise! And joining them on this journey are two huge “Scream” fans – Kendall Farrae of “Two Girls, One Crypt” and (for the first time on the main show!) Lindsey Grelis of “Film Strip Podcast”!

“Scream 3” is the most divisive in this beloved horror franchise with both general audiences and critics alike. What do your five hosts think of it? Is it underrated? Is it secretly good? Is it so bad it’s actually fun? Or is it just plain bad? Needless to say, opinions differ dramatically, and yet – somehow – they all end up on the same page for the most part!

This is one sprawling, fun, interesting conversation full of behind the scenes anecdotes; a discussion about the movie in the context of the “Me Too” movement and what it says about the pressures faced by young actresses in Hollywood; Courtney Cox’s bangs; whether it lives up to the promises of Jamie Kennedy’s Randy regarding what the final chapter of a trilogy entails; a debate on whether the finale’s twist and series retcon works and makes sense; whether the series has jumped the shark and become a parody of itself with this installment; and laughs and quotes galore amongst so much else! Trust us when we say you don’t want to miss this one!

So settle in with your Pumpkin Spiced Latte, put your feet up, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

*NOTE: There are some issues with Thom’s audio this episode. He sounds muffled for large portions of it. We apologize for the quality of his mic and are working to ensure it’s fixed for next week’s episode.*

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And happy last episode of September! Can you believe how quick this month went by? We sure can’t!

This week, Julia and Anthony begin to transition the show into Spooky Season by discussing the 2006 remake, “Black Christmas” – the last of the “Black Christmas” movies they’ve yet to cover!

What’s that you say? They’re covering schlocky, slasher horror? Yes indeed, and you know what that means! To join the conversation, they welcome the always awesome horror fanatics, Jay Skipworth and Ron Hogan of “Film Strip Podcast“,  onto the show to discuss it with them!

How does this iteration of “Black Christmas” compare to the original 1974 version and the abysmal 2019 version? You’ll just have to tune in to find out in an episode full of pop culture trivia and an episode that introduces “Tis the Podcast“‘s newest segment: “Julia’s Adventures in Vudu-Land”!

So settle in with your pumpkin spice lattes, grab an Apple Cider donut, relax, and enjoy this fun-filled episode! And get excited – because we kick off Spooky Season “proper” next week as we enter October, and you know what that means! That’s right – we’re barreling even closer to Christmas! It is truly the most wonderful time of the year! ❤️ 🍂 🎃🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
