Fireside Chat Preview - Featuring Charlyn Lewis!

This week, life got in the way for the elves – and between COVID vaccine side-effects and mental health issues, they couldn’t find time to record in time for this week’s episode. Not wanting to leave you hanging, however, we’ve decided to share one of our Patreon-Exclusive “Fireside Chat” segments with y’all! In our “Fireside Chats”, one or more of the Tis the Podcast elves sit down by a crackling Christmas fire with one of our listeners to learn a little bit about them, talk about the holiday season, and discuss Christmas sensibilities amongst other things! In this episode, they chat with a listener oft-mentioned on the main feed of our show, Charlyn Lewis! So settle in with your favorite holiday drink and enjoy this fun, heartfelt episode that will make you want Charlyn Lewis to appear on the show again, and again, and again!

And don’t worry – our episode in which we cover the first three Christmas episodes of Home Improvement is still coming, and will drop two Monday’s from now! (Due to the fact that Gerry D. of Totally Rad Christmas agreed ages ago to join us in covering the Community holiday episodes, and having that recording scheduled for a while, that episode will be recording and dropping before our first Home Improvement one now!) In the meantime, for all of you non-patrons out there, if you liked this episode and want to hear more like this, consider subscribing to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/TisThePodcast where – for as little as a dollar per month – you can get whole bonus length episodes like this!

Also, speaking of Gerry D., make sure to keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next chapter of Another Christmas Story which the totally rad host will be reading to y’all!

Sky Rockets In Flight, Afternoon Delight! (Arrested Development)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony sit down to discuss the Christmas episodes about the one family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. That’s right, we’re talking Arrested Development! And for those who want to follow along at home, the two episodes we’ll be talking about are:

  • Season 1, Episode 8 – In God We Trust
  • Season 2, Episode 6 – Afternoon Delight

While both Thom and Anthony have a history with the show, will Julia be as enamored with the unlikable Bluth family as her two cohosts? Or is there not enough charm or holiday feels in either of these episodes for her liking?

Also discussed this episode: the storm in Texas; birthdays and age; Adam Sandler; and which television shows we wish had done Christmas episodes before ending! In addition, Anthony reads an extraordinarily kind email the elves received regarding Another Christmas Story!

This is one fun episode, filled with absurd laughs, you want to be sure not to miss! So enjoy, and make sure to keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next chapter of Another Christmas Story as read to you by listener, Rebecca Boll!

Happy Thursday, Christmas fanatics! Welcome to the second official installment of Another Christmas Story!

This week, the author of this holiday rom-com himself, our very own Anthony, will read to all of you Chapter One of our tale, entitled “Good King Wenceslas”!

We hope you like it! (And don’t worry – this is not a political book in the slightest, despite the nature of this chapter. We just had to set up these particular characters and the world they’re inhabiting for their storyline!)

Christmas Is A Time When You Look At Your life Through A Magnifying Glass, And Whatever You Don't Have Feels Overwhelming. Being Alone Is So Much Lonelier At Christmas. (Mixed Nuts)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe we’re already in February? One month down in 2021 on the long journey to Christmas! Though, when you think about it, Leon Day is only Five Months away; the Fourth of July is only six months away, which is when the back to school stuff starts going back up in Target, which is a big milestone reached; and the Ber Months are only eight months away, at which point it’s all down hill! It’ll be here before you know it!

This week, after briefly touching on the Inauguration of Joe Biden and Anthony’s new Batman tattoo, the elves settle in to discuss the 1994 dark comedy film, Mixed Nuts! The elves far all over the spectrum when it comes to this American remake of a classic french film, however, with Anthony absolutely fawning over it, Julia really liking it, and Thom finding himself not impressed. Regardless, the hosts have a fun time chatting about this hysterical movie, its incredibly talented cast, and reciting quotes-a-plenty for this film which is most definitely a Christmas movie! And, Anthony makes history with the score he bestows upon it given the fact that Adam Sandler is one of its stars!

So, settle in beside your fire, close your eyes to pretend your Christmas lights are still up, relax, and kick off February with this fun-filled episode you’re sure to enjoy! And don’t forget – keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this Thursday for “Chapter One” of Another Christmas Story!

Forget Ever After, Just Live Happily. (Godmothered)

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony travel to Motherland to cover the 2020 original, Disney Plus holiday film, Godmothered! There’s a lot of love to go around this week for this heartwarming family comedy, and while there is some cynicism on Anthony’s part as to whether or not this movie rips off (rather than pays homage) to a plethora of films that came before it, Thom counters such cynicism with hilarious quotes-a-plenty! Of course, the pivotal question is raised – is this actually a Christmas film or is it just a film set at Christmas? If it’s the latter, how will that affect the score? And speaking of scores, how much longer are listeners of this show going to drive Julia crazy with not allowing us to change our ranking system?!

This is a fun, pick-me-up episode that is just what our post-Christmas January’s need! So settle in beside your fire, close your eyes to pretend your Christmas lights are still up, relax, and enjoy! And don’t forget – keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this Thursday for the “Prologue” of Another Christmas Story!

In addition, we’ll be releasing a text version of the same chapter on our website each week! It won’t just be the elves of Tis the Podcast taking turns reading this story to you over the course of this year, however! We’ve arranged for a wide array of talent to help bring this book to life, including other Christmas podcast hosts you know and love and listeners of the show you frequently see interacting with everybody on our social media pages!

For more information on what to expect from our new Thursday installments going forward, and more information on the story itself, settle back, listen to, and enjoy this very special minisode!

Christmas Eve 2020 Story - Dr. Seuss' 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'

Merry Christmas Eve, everybody!We know that 2020 has been a tough year for everybody – though we hope you’ve all been good so Santa slides down your chimney later tonight with gifts! (Don’t worry – Dr. Fauci has confirmed that he traveled up to the North Pole to vaccinate the big man himself, so no need to worry about Santa quarantining!) As such, we chose this year’s annual Christmas Eve story because it serves as a reminder of what Christmas is truly about, which we believe we can all use this year given how different the holidays are going to be. That’s right – we’ve chosen to read the beloved and iconic 1957, Dr. Seuss classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Spoiler alert – this may just be our favorite Christmas Eve story we’ve recorded yet. We hope you like it and enjoy it as much as we do! 🙂
