Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe we’ve reached the final episode of Spooky Season 2026? We sure can’t!

To celebrate the occasion, Julia and Anthony welcome back Misty Hovsepian of “Two Girls, One Crypt” to talk about the 2026 film, “Hokum!” Did the trailers mislead us about the type of movie this would be? Is there enough Irish/witch folklore in it satisfy our needs? Does the story actually happen, is it a near death experience, or just a psychedelic hallucination? And did the movie deserve a better fate than coming and going quickly because it opened right before “Obsession,” which became a smash hit and overshadowed it? All of this, and much more, is discussed in this fun episode!

So settle back with your Pumpkin Spice lattes, relax, and enjoy! And get excited – because we’re officially entering the 2026 Christmas season next week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️🍂🎃🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

I Don’t Know If You’ve Noticed But There Are Some Oddballs Walking Around This Place. (Hokum)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

During Spooky Season 2026 here on “Tis the Podcast,” we’ve made a conscious effort to pepper in a few undisputed horror classics in our lineup, and that trend continues tonight as Julia and Anthony sit down to discuss Sam Raimi’s beloved 1981 film, “The Evil Dead.” Often considered one of the best scary movies of all time – and the beginning of the most consistently well received horror franchise – does this movie live up to its reputation for the two elves? You’ll just have to tune in to find out in a wide-ranging discussion in which they talk about everything from the amateur, low-budget filming of this movie to Sam Raimi’s inability to write women. Trust us when we say, this is one episode you don’t want to miss!

So settle back with your pumpkin spice lattes, relax, and enjoy while you can, because Spooky Season is nearly over and Christmas is just about upon us! Get excited!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️🍂🎃🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, as Spooky Season continues, Matt Spaulding of “North Pole Radio” and “2 Broke Geeks” joins Julia, Anthony, and Thom to discuss the 2023 slasher film, “Scream VI” – a.k.a. “Ghostface Takes Manhattan!”

Everyone knows Anthony is the “Scream” fan on this show, so how does this one stack up against the rest of the franchise in his mind? And is Ghostface’s murder spree in New York more or less successful than Jason’s was in the “Friday the 13th” franchise? You’ll just have to tune in to find out!

But You Cracking Under The Pressure And Turning Into Ghostface Would’ve Been A Great Twist. (Scream VI)

Happy Wednesday, Christmas Fanatics!

We are back with what is becoming a favorite staple of our annual Spooky Season celebrations: 2026’s Tis the Podcast Ultimate Horror Movie Bracket!

This year, Anthony is joined by: Kendall and Misty of Two Girls, One Crypt, Matt of North Pole Radio, and Ron, Lindsey, and Ryan of Film Strip Podcast for the ultimate championship bracket to debate, argue, and ultimately figure out which horror movie will take the crown of what we deem 2026’s ultimate horror film!

We’re switching things up a bit this year though! Instead of Anthony choosing all of the movies for the competition, each show gets their own devision! So North Pole Radio picked all of the films to face off against one another in the Northwest Division, Film Strip Podcast all of the movies in the Southwest Division, Two Girls, One Crypt the Northeast Division, and Tis the Podcast the Southeast Division! It makes for a wide, eclectic range of movies that are definitely representative of the tastes of each show, and makes for some epic debates as the competition gets whittled down!

As always, this episode is an absolute marathon, clocking in at over eleven hours so it’ll definitely keep you occupied for a few days at work and a few commutes in the lead up to Halloween! But we promise that, as always, it’s filled with laughs, good-natured ribbing, and tons of excellent insight and opinions on some of the greatest(?) films in horror movie history. Trust us when we say this is one you definitely do not want to miss!

We poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this one and appreciate you not only listening, but sharing it too! So settle back with your pumpkin spice lattes, hit that share button, press play, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️🍂🎃🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Halloween Horror Nights 35 Anticipation Discussion With Kendall And Misty of “Two Girls, One Crypt”

Happy Tuesday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, the elves are heading back to Dunder Mifflin for a little Christmas déjà vu! We know we’ve already talked about The Office‘s Christmas episodes, but now we’re diving into the extended editions, and we think you know these elves aren’t complaining about talking the Office.

Anthony, Julia, and Thom kick things off with “Christmas Party”, the Season 2 classic featuring Michael’s disastrous Secret Santa, an iPod, a teapot, Yankee Swap (or Dirty Santa, or whatever you call it where you live), and one very memorable Christmas card. Then it’s off to “Moroccan Christmas,” where Phyllis takes control of the Party Planning Committee, Meredith catches fire, Dwight sells Princess Unicorn dolls, and Angela’s carefully guarded secret threatens to become very public knowledge.

But this time, we’re not just talking about the episodes we already know and love. We’re digging into the extended and deleted scenes, the little character moments that got left on the cutting-room floor, and all the extra bits that somehow make these episodes feel even more like Christmas.

Also discussed this episode: pumpkin spice season is upon us; Universal Passholder Night; Harry Potter and the upcoming Gilderoy Lockhart casting; Ted Lasso; Spider-Man; the increasingly bizarre world of twisted childhood movies; Dungeon Crawler Carl spoilers; Spirit Halloween; Ebenezer and Violent Night 2 trailers; the return of Ghosts; British Christmas specials; the history of Benihana; Danny DeVito/Jimothy; The X-Files; Steve Carell aging like fine wine; and our ongoing inability to stay on topic for more than approximately twelve seconds.

So grab your Christmas sweater, pour yourself something festive, and settle in for another trip to Scranton with your favorite misfit toys.

And yes… Belschnickel is coming.

As always, thanks for listening, y’all! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

After a bit of talk about the “Clayface” and “Avengers: Doomsday” trailers, the two of them count you down so you can hit “Play” at the same time as them and hear their real-time reactions as you watch the iconic Peanuts’ holiday special unfolds!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, Julia, Anthony, and – making his triumphant return – Thom (!!!) sit down to celebrate the fact we’re over halfway to Christmas 2026! After catching up on what the elves have been up to, they discuss one of the Christmas episodes of a television show they’ve wanted to cover for a while: “Gilmore Girls“! The episode in question? Season One, Episode Ten’s: Forgiveness and Stuff.

While the elves may not be in agreement when it comes to which characters are likable or whether the revival even exists, all three have a special love for this show, which results in one fun, festive episode we guarantee you is the perfect way to kick-start your week!

So settle in, relax, and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
