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! ❤️ 🍂 🎃🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, the always fabulous Kendall Farrae, of the upcoming “Two Girls, One Crypt” podcast, joins Julia, Thom, and Anthony in Chicago as they travel back in time half-a-decade to celebrate a big ‘ol Italian Christmas Eve by discussing the lone holiday episode (thus far) of Hulu’s/FX’s critically acclaimed show, “The Bear“! The episode in question? Episode 6 of Season 2, “Fishes”!

Listen as they discuss the tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes, which is a focal point of this episode, and gush over “The Bear” in general, including the fantastic roster of guest stars the show manages to bring together for this holiday extravaganza – including the always incredible Jamie Lee Curtis and Bob Odenkirk! Though a hectic, anxiety-inducing episode of television, “Fishes” feels real and familiar to all four hosts for many different reasons, and is a hell of an entertaining and incredible episode of stand-alone television! So settle in as the elves and their guest walk you through the plot chaotic-beat by chaotic-beat until they reveal just how Christmassy this episode is and whether or not it will enter their holiday canon!

Also discussed: what Kendall’s been up to since her last appearance on the show; a scary incident that recently occurred with Julia’s dog, Lucy; Thom’s recent trip to New York where he, Anthony, and Sarah got to hang out; and the fact that we are now officially in the home stretch and counting down the remaining days until the fast-approaching ‘Ber Months!

This is one jam-packed episode you want to be sure not to miss! So, settle back and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️ 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

Today, journey with the elves to the fictional town of North Pole, Vermont, as they cover the 2021, Peacock original movie, “The Housewives of the North Pole“!

While Anthony is adamant that this streaming holiday film is standard Hallmark fare, Julia and Thom aren’t so sure. Listen as they debate the acting ability of Kylie Richards, the most absurd profession for a “hot guy” in any movie of this genre, whether young love is enough to make you immune to the northern lights, and much, much more!

Also discussed: Thom’s upcoming visit to New York; possible costumes this Halloween season; and the upcoming Fall season in general!

This is one really fun episode about one really mid-to-bad movie that you want to be sure not to miss! So settle back and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️ 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

• Season 3 – Episode 11 – The Christmas Card
• Season 5 – Episode 8 – A Spirited Christmas

While both episodes invoked a sense of cozy nostalgia for our hosts, one definitely holds up and resonates with them more than the other! Which one? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out!
