Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! We hope all the dads out there had a wonderful Father’s Day yesterday!

Long before MAX released “A Christmas Story Christmas” back in 2012, there was a direct-to-Home Video sequel to that iconic holiday classic simply called, “A Christmas Story 2“! Naturally, the elves had to cover it as part of “Bad Sequel Month”, but is this one *really* as bad as you’d think? They’re joined by the always wonderful Matt Eurich of “TGI Podcast” to debate that very question in this fun, festive episode!

Also discussed this week: exactly when we start getting excited for the Ber months during the hot summer slog; new, upcoming Christmas movies and television specials; what we’ve all been binging lately; and much, much more!

This is one episode you want to be sure not to miss! So, settle in and enjoy! We can guarantee you that this is the perfect way to kick off your Monday! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!  ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Most Guys My Age Wouldn’t Admit It, But When It Came To Christmas, I Still Felt Like A Little Kid. (A Christmas Story 2)

Welcome back Christmas lovers, to another episode of Tis the Podcast! This week, the elves procrastinate talking about this week’s movie for about as long as they can, talking about movies they’ve seen, summer, tattoos and anything else to delay.

After a long intro, they dive into the world of awful, straigh to DVD/streaming Christmas movie sequels with Jingle All the Way 2. Larry the Cable Guy stars as a well-meaning but bumbling dad who competes with his daughter’s wealthy stepdad to make her holiday wish come true. With a story about family, competition, and the true meaning of Christmas, this movie offers plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments.

Join us as we discuss the film’s plot, characters, and the holiday antics that ensue. Does this sequel live up to the original? Tune in to find out! Plus, we share our thoughts on the latest Christmas movie news and what we’re looking forward to this holiday season.

Don’t miss this festive and fun episode of Tis the Podcast!

This week, the elves kick off “Animation/Children’s Movie Month” by covering the 2023, Disney Plus original movie, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever“!
