What’s up, dudes? I’ve got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast with me to break down all things 1979 Rankin Bass special  “Jack Frost”! We also create an aural red yarn line conspiracy-style graphic trying to untangle the very loose continuity of the R/B universe! Or is it multiverse? Is Kubla Kraus the Burgermeister’s ancestor? Is Father Winter the Snow Miser’s father? Is Bill Murray’s “Groundhog Day” part of the R/B canon? So grab your ice coins, wrap an empty gift, and cast a magic shadow as you dip into this episode!
