Happy Tuesday, Christmas Fanatics! Sorry we’re a day later with this final Pre-Christmas episode of 2022, but better late than never, right?

This week, journey “back to the rock” with Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they cover the brand new Apple TV holiday special, “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock – Night of the Lights“! We know the elves are enormous fans of The Muppets proper, in addition to Sesame Street, but what do they think of Henson’s Fraggles? You’ll have to tune into this episode to find out! Side note: we’d like to apologize to our good friend Mike Westfall, of “Advent Calendar House Podcast“, for our severe lack of knowledge on this corner of Jim Henson’s universe! We swear, this episode was not designed just to piss you off, even if you may be screaming as you listen to this episode!

Also discussed: Christmas plans, forecasted holiday weather, breakfast foods, and much more! So, don’t miss this fun episode! And make sure to check your feeds on Christmas Eve for your annual night before Christmas story, as read by the elves! Trust us when we say, you won’t want to miss this year’s!

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

What’s this? A bonus episode on a Sunday? What’s going on?

Well, as you can tell from the fact that the only elf present on this episode is Anthony (sorry, y’all!) and the intro to the episode itself, this was originally meant as a bonus, Patreon-exclusive! However, we wanted our good friend Natalie Bickel to be able to spread the word about her amazing children’s book, “The Christmas Clue“, as far and wide as possible, so we decided to put this on the main feed instead!

Listen as Natalie not only reads an excerpt from “The Christmas Clue“, but also talks about her amazing childhood holidays, the family tradition that inspired her book, what motivated her when writing this and her yet-to-be-published novel, and much, much more!

Also discussed – Natalie and Anthony’s Top Ten Christmas movies of all time! A list which, for Anthony, is already obsolete! (For his up-to-date list, keep your eyes open for a special Patreon episode featuring all of the elves coming soon!)

So, order your copy of “The Christmas Clue” (available where all books are sold!), settle in with your favorite holiday drink, and enjoy this special bonus episode! And keep your eyes on your main feed tomorrow, because – as usual – our regular weekly episode will be dropping then!

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

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And welcome to our last episode of November 2022! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Can you believe that we only have three more new episodes left in the lead-up to Christmas this year? We sure can’t!

This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they discuss the 2022 Netflix original film, “Falling for Christmas“, which serves as a starring vehicle for Lindsey Lohan and Chord Overstreet! How does it compare to Hallmark’s original holiday movies? And is this the long awaited comeback of Lindsey Lohan that we’ve been waiting for for years? You’ll just have to tune in to find out!

So, settle in with your favorite holiday beverage beside your Christmas trees and enjoy this fun episode!

Happy Thanksgiving week, Christmas fanatics! We can’t believe November is always over! Now is the time of year we wish time would slow down a bit! Nevertheless, we are in the midst of the holiday season and we couldn’t be happier about that!

This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony are joined by Jay Skipworth, of “Film Strip Podcast“, and April Ryley to discuss the highly anticipated legacy sequel to the universally beloved classic, “A Christmas Story” – HBO Max’s, “A Christmas Story Christmas“!

Is Ralphie Parker’s long awaited journey home worth it to fans of the original, Anthony, April, and Jay? Can adult Ralphie throw a more entertaining Christmas for his family than his father did in the eyes of Julia and Thom, who loathe the original film? And is this movie able to stand on its own while serving as a fitting tribute to Darren McGavin and his iconic “Old Man” character and while managing to avoid the pitfalls that entrap so many legacy sequels? All of this, and much more, is debated and answered by your hosts in this entertaining episode full of holiday cheer!

Also discussed this episode: Mastodon; Thanksgiving plans; what we’re all thankful for this year; Star vs. Angel tree toppers; and much, much more!

So, settle in with your favorite holiday beverage and enjoy this extraordinarily fun episode! And keep your eyes out, because this upcoming Thursday – Thanksgiving day itself! – you will find a full-length bonus episode waiting in your main feeds as a gift from us, to you, to express just how thankful we are for your love and support each and every day!

Happy Halloween, Christmas Fanatics! And welcome to the final Spooky Month edition of “Tis the Podcast” for 2022!

To mark the occasion, “Den of Geek“‘s and “Film Strip Podcast“‘s Ron Hogan – a.k.a. President Hotdog himself – joins Julia and Anthony to discuss one of the direct sequels to the 1978 classic, “Halloween” – “Halloween 2018“!

Listen as the three break down the plot of this requel, explain the multitude of “Halloween” timelines, and gush over Jamie Lee Curtis and the many references to the iconic original that director David Gordon Green managed to stuff into this lovingly crafted follow-up! Also discussed: James Gunn’s new role as the head of the rebranded “DCU” – and the time Ron took screenwriting lessons from him; “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” and other brand new, upcoming Christmas movies; our Halloween plans; and much, much more!

This is one fun episode you want to make sure not to miss! So, settle back with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes and enjoy, because it’s the perfect way to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve!

And get excited – because not only are we officially less than two months from Christmas 2022, but we are also  venturing back into the realm of Christmas movies next week and all three elves will be back together again! Our November and December lineup of movies, old and new, is pretty stacked this year so make sure you don’t miss an episode these coming weeks as we prepare for the most wonderful time of the year!

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

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And welcome to another Spooky Season edition of “Tis the Podcast“!

This week, the elves are joined by Jay Skipworth of “Film Strip Podcast” to discuss “Scream 2“! He and Anthony, both of whom have seen this movie many times, are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to determining its quality – and both have #Thoughts – but where do Julia and Thom fall after watching it for the first time? (Especially after “Scream” pleasantly surprised both of them?) You’ll just have to tune in to find out!

As always when Jay joins us, this episode contains a plethora of movie trivia, film knowledge, and cinematic recommendations! As such, this is one deep dive into Sidney Prescott’s ongoing, tragic saga you want to be sure not to miss!

So, settle in with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, relax, and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

It’s the return of Spooky Month and, while we’re short one elf this week, have no fear, the ever ebullient Charlyn Lewis joined Anthony and Thom as we cover the 2001 Disney made-for-tv movie, Halloweentown 2. Gather round with your favorite goblins and ghouls for a fun-filled (albeit late) episode this week!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, travel to the midwest with the elves as they gather at Hoover International Airport to discuss the infamous 2006 film, “Unaccompanied Minors“! While Julia, Thom, and Anthony all come in rather close when it comes time to ranking this film, their opinions and mileage vary and span the spectrum! Who liked it the most? Who loathed it with every fiber of their being? And who didn’t like it but thought it stuck the ending which saved it somewhat? Tune in to find out!

Also in this episode: the hosts pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, talk (and rant) about Disney, and discuss much, much more!

So, settle back with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, relax, and enjoy this fun episode! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀
