Happy Sunday, everybody! And Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers and mother-like figures out there! We hope you have a wonderful day where you are shown the appreciation and love you deserve!

As we’ve been on a hiatus the past few weeks, we wanted to drop a special mother’s day episode for y’all in your feeds to make it up to all of you! So, join us as we discuss an animated Mother’s Day special that’s famous to everyone who grew up in the ’90’s: Season 4, Episode 2 of “Rugrats” simply titled, “Mother’s Day”!

Listen as the elves gather to gush over this groundbreaking children’s special, and the “Rugrats” in general, in this fun, heartfelt episode, in which they also touch on their own personal plans for this Mother’s Day, recent “Beetlejuice 2” casting, and ask listeners to weigh in on who is the Angelica of the “Tis the Podcast” trio and which Rugrats would correspond to the other two hosts!

So settle back and enjoy! And – of course – make sure to check your main feeds tomorrow for your regularly scheduled, Christmas-movie programming!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

Due to the elves’ busy work schedules, we couldn’t get a new episode recorded this week! But never fear! We have a timely, once patreon-exclusive episode dropping for you!

This past week, [HBO] Max confirmed they are moving forward with a television adaptation of the “Harry Potter” books, adapting one book per season and producing all seven seasons over the course of a decade! Naturally, this elicited a lot of excitement online, and fan-casting has been running rampant!

Well, back in February, when rumors of a potential “Harry Potter” remake began swirling around, Julia, Thom, and Anthony gathered to recast the main adult characters in the series for the then hypothetical series!

We know what you’re thinking! Could anyone ever possibly top Alan Rickman as Snape, Dame Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall, or any of the other incredible, British alumni that were part of the original cast? Probably not. But, we do our best to cast excellent actors and actresses in their own right to follow in those iconic footsteps, adhering slightly closer to the descriptions, personalities, and age ranges as established in J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series. The only limitations we set for ourselves were: we couldn’t choose the same actor for a role they played previously; and we wouldn’t limit ourselves to British thespians. The result? Three very different, but equally as fun, fan-cast lists that we think you’ll all enjoy!

So, settle back and enjoy this super fun blast from the recent past you want to be sure not to miss! As always, thanks for your love and support! We love y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, the elves gather to discuss the Hallmark-esque satire film, “Christmas with the Campbells” – which is essentially a Hallmark movie if written with Anthony’s sensibilities. What did the hosts think of it? Well, that description should give it away! Nevertheless, tune in for the in-depth discussion because it’s a fun conversation, as always!

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

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics!

This week, travel with Julia, Thom, and Anthony to Philadelphia to discuss the one – and, so far, only – Christmas episode of ABC’s hit comedy, “Abbott Elementary“! If you want to follow along at home, the episode they dive deep on is Season 2’s Episode 10: “Holiday Hookah”! Not only do they rave about this holiday episode, and the show overall in general, but they also read off Matt Eurich’s casting suggestions regarding which teacher on the show corresponds to which elf, and play a bit of audio submitted by the totally rad Gerry D. and his wife, Tiffany, about “Abbott Elementary” and their own teaching experiences!

Also discussed: this year’s Oscar’s ceremony; Julia’s kids’ Ireland trip; the local Tulsa production of “Hamilton” that Thom saw; Anthony’s mini-reviews of “Scream VI“, “Creed III“, and “65“; Thom’s experience with hookah; and much, much more!

This is one fun, laugh-a-minute episode you want to be sure not to miss! And make sure to listen through the credits for one last surprise/laugh!

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

Happy President’s Day to our American listeners, Family Day to our Canadian listeners, and Monday to the rest of the world.
