Deck the halls with chaos, cutaways, and cranberry sauce! This week, Thom and Anthony dive deep into five more uproarious Family Guy Christmas episodes, from Dickensian parodies to Meg’s mall-Santa trauma and Lois’s Grinch-worthy meltdowns. With Julia taking a festive hiatus, the guys hold down the fort with unfiltered banter, personal holiday horror stories (bee infestations! Disney World mishaps!), and their signature spicy takes.

Inside this episode:
🎁 “Don’t Be a Dickens at Christmas” (S16E9): Peter’s Scrooge moment, Patrick Swayze’s ghostly pottery lessons, and why Dog Farts haunt the afterlife.
🎁 “Christmas is Coming” (S18E9): Meg’s very awkward Santa encounter (Anthony’s 7/10 vs. Thom’s 4/10—yikes!).
🎁 “The First No L” (S19E9): Lois rage-quits Christmas, the Griffins craft a tear-jerking gift, and a Muslim neighbor takes the blame.
🎁 “Christmas Crime” (S20E10): Brian cancels Christmas (and crashes a nativity), Mayor West’s villain era, and the dark truth about “Asking Panda.”
🎁 “Return of the King of Queens” (S22E9): Kevin James crashes Quahog! A sitcom star fights irrelevance (and network TV’s demise) in the least Christmassy ep yet.

Plus:
🍸 Thom’s church bee-pocalypse vs. Anthony’s Disney meetup with Julia Gulia!
🎤 Their Family Guy musical hot takes (RIP, Carrie Fisher’s Angela!).
📺 A HUGE MILESTONE: After 8 years, they’ve covered every FG Christmas episode!

That Elf-Sized Elf Will Try To Perform Some Christmas Miracle And Reunite Me With That Man. (Abbott Elementary’s Christmas Episodes – Season 4)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy February! We are one month closer to the most wonderful time of the year!

This week, Julia and Anthony – sans Thom due to life! – gather to discuss the 2024 comedy film, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever“, which is based on the famous children’s book of the same name by Barbara Robinson.
