What’s up, dudes? I’m once again joined by my brother Danny to talk all about one of the best Christmas movies ever! Yep, it’s “Home Alone”! What? You didn’t know Marley wasn’t in the original script, or that John Candy’s lines were improvised? Well. I’m sure you knew that it has the BEST Christmas musical score ever, composed by the great John Williams! And who doesn’t love Looney Tunes-style comedy? This one’s got it all, especially quotes! My brother and I can’t help ourselves! Dig it!
Blind Pick Week kicks off with “Tis the Season” from the fourth season of Ally McBeal (available on Hulu). Will this episode from a show the boys have little familiarity with be able to charm them enough to be called a Christmas Classic, or will it be too dated to be anything more than Lump of Coal?
Non-Christmas topics include: Macy Gray, Robert Downey Jr., dated 90’s language, surprising cast members, secret children, Brian’s new nickname, heights, karaoke, Christmas movie spoilers, and the return of the Polar Express.

We are joined by the elf herself… Julia from Tis the Podcast! We were so excited to have her on to talk about all the girl things. Just like Mack in this movie, we don’t need no man! We discuss how this isn’t Enchanted and we are confused about the dog and what his story was. Godmothered is a cute movie and yet still has plot holes.

CONTENT WARNING: This podcast discusses a 1960 episode of “The Jack Benny Program” in which a character shoots himself offscreen.
On this beautifully wrapped and unwrapped and rewrapped episode of the official podcast for 40-year-olds whose parents associate cigarette commercials with Christmas, we’re second-, third-, and fourth-guessing ourselves way back to 1960 to go Christmas Shopping with “The Jack Benny Program,” the last televised version of a longtime radio favorite.
On This Episode:
Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), surprisingly brittle for an unbreakable, crystal $12 watch.
Guy Hutchinson (@GuyHutchinson), wrapped in beautiful paper and tinsel at least 4 times before we started recording, author, public speaker, and host of the Drunk On Disney Podcast.
Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe that next week is Christmas? Where did the time go?
This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony cover Hulu’s brand-new, 2020, Holiday original movie, Happiest Season! Join them as they take a deep dive into this beautiful, hilarious, heartwarming, and heart-wrenching love story focusing on a lesbian couple going home to spend the holidays with one of their conservative families. Listen as they celebrate the long overdo representation this movie provides for the LGBTQ+ community – something that should absolutely be normalized and happen far more often, both in and out of holiday movies – in addition to discussing the amazing cast that makes up this wonderfully dysfunctional family, talk about their favorite scenes and quotes, and defend Kristen Stewart as an actress while talking about a film they all really enjoyed which more than earns the place it ends up falling on their Christmas canon list.
This a jam-packed episode that covers a lot of ground outside of our movie of the week as well, including:
Julia and her family landing themselves into quarantine just before Christmas
Warner Bros.’ announcement that they will be releasing their entire slate of 2021 films simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters – and what this means for the future of the film industry
All of the recent casting confirmations and rumors about Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 (Home Dimension?) and what it says about the possible plot and the MCU overall.
Whether Julia and Anthony were Team Edward or Team Jacob fans during the heyday of the Twilight Saga
Keanu Reeves and Schitt’s Creek
GaryBlauman’s/Matt Eurich’s Question of the Week: “What is a non-Christmas song that you now associate with Christmas?”
Anthony’s Question of the Week posed to discuss Next Week: “What classic Christmas movies do you think are most poised to have a remake happen in our lifetimes?”
And much, much, much more.
So settle in beside your Christmas tree with your favorite holiday beverage, sit back, and enjoy this fun episode which is one of Anthony’s personal favorites of the show so far! Also, if you want to hear the elves of Tis the Podcast elsewhere this week, check out the following places:
Today, Monday December 14th, you can hear Julia cover the Disney + Original Movie, Godmothered on NetfliXmas, with Holli and Scarlett!

In addition, you can also hear Julia, Thom, and Anthony on tomorrow’s edition of Todd Killian’s Christmas Clatter Podcast where Julia, along with Gerry Davila of Totally Rad Christmas and friend of the pod, Michael Christelman, serve as judges as Thom, Anthony, and frequent guest and friend of the pod, April Ryley, duke it out in the second installment of the Merry Melee series!

The 2nd part of the Christmas Carol episode – and we’re going back to the theater, sort of…
Charles Dickens died in 1870 but his legacy continues on strongly to this day. He is often synonymous with Christmas, and for good reason. 150 years after his death, Charles’ great-great grandson Gerald Dickens keeps the family legacy going by performing in one man theatrical performances of A Christmas Carol and other works of Dickens.
Today Gerald stops by to chat about the story, Charles Dickens, Christmas, and the film version of his one man play that he just recorded this year.

Stuff you don’t know about Santa is the topic of conversation in this special episode of the North Pole Podcast.
By request from several teachers and many parents we were asked to do a podcast episode about the more unknown things about Santa Claus. With so many missing school or under quarantine due to the Coronavirus people are spending more time than ever trying to learn new things about Santa, what he does and how he does it.
This episode is a real surprise. Joining Elves Frank Myrrh and Crash Murphy of North Pole Radio News is Elf Dr. Grant Smedley, profession of Santa history at Southern North Pole University.
Dr. Smedley is not only a Santa historian he is also Santa’s official biographer.
It was thought that Dr. Smedley would be the one who shares a lot of new information in this episode. But instead he turns the table on Frank and Crash and we end up hearing two fantastic stories of the modern-day Santa that nobody has ever heard.
From these stories we learn a great deal about Santa that we didn’t already know.

The Redemption of Scrooge (with Author Gina Dalfonzo)

It’s Part 1 of a 2 Part episode focused on A Christmas Carol!
In today’s episode, I sit down with author Gina Dalfonzo and talk about the theme of redemption in A Christmas Carol. She had a new book published this year called The Gospel in Dickens, and if you’re interested in the theology of Charles Dickens you should check it out.
So come on in, sit down by the Christmas fire as we discuss some of the theology found in A Christmas Carol.
And stay tuned for the next episode – it’s dropping on December 14, and we will have a very special guest who comes by to chat more about A Christmas Carol.
Note: Religion can be a touchy subject. I know that all my listeners will have different views in their beliefs, and I in no way want to exclude anyone from this episode or the conversation. I’m here to learn and my hope is that this episode gives us all a deeper understanding of the text of A Christmas Carol and the religious beliefs of Charles Dickens that did influence a lot of his writing.
In this very environmentally aware edition of the official holiday podcast for people who make hockey sweaters for vermin, we’re responsibly deforesting our way back to 1980 to dig up “The Christmas Raccoons,” the first appearance of early Disney Channel imports The Raccoons and the greedy Cyril Sneer.
On This Episode:
Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), generous married couple’s permanent houseguest in a tree that’s clearly bigger on the inside.
Much of this special is contained in an identical dream by both kids and possibly also their dog. From there, it’s hard to tell what parts were the dream and what parts weren’t. Maybe it’s all in St. Elsewhere’s Snow Globe Universe of Tommy Westphall (no relation).
Animation week comes to a close with Chris having the boys watch an obscure one season wonder from the early aughts. “Snowflake Day: A Very Special Holiday Episode” from the series Clone High (available on the MTV app or YouTube), isn’t a traditional Christmas episode by any means, but there still might be a few holiday feels to find in this oddball entry.
Non-Christmas topics include: JFK impressions, tiny homes, holiday lumping, Kwanzaa, knorks, setting up jokes, Chili’s, airports, upsetting all the fanbases, celebrity crushes, Mandy Moore, the West Wing, and Chris revealing his master plan to replace Jon and Brian as his cohosts.
