What’s up, dudes? Merry Christmas Podcast Day! Don’t touch that dial! Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas,   Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X’masu, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas are here to talk SCTV “It’s a Wonderful Film!” It’s a wonderful amalgam of pastiche and homage of classic Christmas movies, and it’s fantastic!

Producer Marty Simmons is making a Christmas movie by classic film director Frank Bailey. Unfortunately, he decides that profit is more important than a making a quality movie. Marty fires Bailey and hires a teen sex comedy director in his place. As Marty drives home, he sees a vision of Bailey and crashes.

Marty heads to nearby town Krebbsville for help, running into a church. He sees a Bing Crosby-esque Priest rehearsing a choir. Suddenly, a Clarence-like Bailey appears, and the duo head to 34th Street. They observe a mom frantic and desperate from Krebbs’s cruelty.

Then Bailey’s apparition then takes him to a theater where they’re transported into 19th century London. Finally, Simmons observes a raucous funeral procession for Krebbs, but sees himself in the coffin! Simmons amends his ways and ends happily!

It’s a Wonderful Life? Check. Miracle on 34th Street? Got it. Going My Way? Uh huh. A Christmas Carol? Only if it’s onscreen at a movie theater! So grab your towel and run around the tree to this episode on SCTV “It’s a Wonderful Film!”

What’s up, dudes? Hey you! Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox is with me to talk Robert Smith! Yes we’re digging into Christmas songs by The Cure!

On December 9, 1987, The Cure came out for a fourth encore and blasted through a cover of “Merry Christmas Everybody” by Slade. It was the final song on the third night at Wembley, the final show of The Kissing Tour.

Delving deeper, many of their songs allude to Christmas or romanticize Christmas as a state of happiness and content. For example, “Let’s Go to Bed,” Christmas is the metaphor for physical excitement and anticipation. Further, in “Other Voices,” a song about the sickness of lust, the protagonist asks his paramour to come around at Christmas for a festive compromise.

Similarly, in “Hey, You,” Smith asks the one who looks like Christmas to come kiss him.  “The Snakepit” and “Last Dance” also reflect themes of nostalgia and melancholy and Christmas.

Driving basslines? Check. Layered guitar and synths? Got ‘em. Eye liner and lipstick? Definitely! So grab your ax, play a catchy riff, and jam out to this episode on Christmas songs by The Cure!

What’s up, dudes? It’s the M3gan before it was popular. Yes, it’s a Small Wonder Christmas as Caleb Cote from Insert Reference Here, Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps, and I talk about the robot girl! It’s the 1988 episode “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow!”

After Ted makes a comment that he’s dead if his credit gets cut off after a few unpaid bills, Vicki types “Cut off credit – He’s dead!” into his bank account information on the computer. Ted tries to correct it at the bank, but they still don’t believe he’s alive even when standing in front of them. Consequently, he creates a plan to stage a fake funeral.

Meanwhile, Jamie tries to sell “Christmas tree seeds” to make money. He dresses up as Santa and has Vicki dress as a Christmas tree. They even play up their “sadness” at the fake passing of their dad to score some sympathy sales. In the end, Ted reveals himself as alive and regains his credit…and his life.

Online banking? Check. Nosy neighbors? Got ‘em. Christmas tree seeds? Christmas tree seeds?!?! So build your robot and program her to play this episode on a Small Wonder Christmas!
