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! 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀

Happy Sunday, Christmas Fanatics!

As a special end of the weekend treat, please enjoy this Emergency Episode in which Julia, Thom, and Anthony gather to discuss two trailers dropped by Disney + this weekend – those for “Hocus Pocus 2“, a sequel 29 years in the making, and “The Santa Clauses“, the miniseries that will serve as the end of Tim Allen’s tenure as Santa Claus!

The elves have been looking forward to both highly anticipated projects since they were announced and have been excited to get sneak peeks at these legacy sequels. How did they feel about them? Well, one trailer went through the greatest hits and played heavy on the nostalgia associated with the original, while still making them curious and thrilled over the direction of this new chapter, while the other trailer left them wanting and very nervous for the finished project. Which elicited which feelings? You’ll just have to listen to find out!

So, settle back with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, enjoy this special bonus episode, and let us know what you think of both trailers on our social media pages! And make sure to check your feeds tomorrow morning for your regularly scheduled weekly episode in which the elves cover the 2006 film, “Unaccompanied Minors“!

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy June! We are *less than twenty days away* from the halfway point to Christmas 2022! How insane is that?

This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they metaphorically drop some acid to travel back to the world of Rankin/Bass and cover the 1979 holiday (?) special, “Jack Frost“! Even by Rankin/Bass standards this one is…*trippy*. But, as the past has shown, those make for some of the funnest episodes! Per usual, Anthony is the only one of three elves that has history with this particular special. What do Thom and Julia think of it after watching it for the first time? Well, we’re sure you can guess.

Also discussed this episode: “Stranger Things 4“, “Top Gun: Maverick“, the answers to two questions of the week, and much, much more.

So settle in, get kinky by allowing Jack Frost to nip at your nose to simulate winter in this summer heat, and enjoy this fun, laugh-a-minute episode that’s sure to start off your week right!
