Happy New Year! To close out 2023 and welcome in 2024, we are going on a sci-fi adventure into the future to cover Futurama!
Despite this episode premiering in March of 1999, does it still give off the New Year’s Eve vibes? Be sure to listen to find out! Also discussed is Matt’s history with the show, as well as Matt Groening explaining what Futurama is all about.

Welcome to episode 100 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the phenomenal 1971 album, “White Christmas,” from the obscure Korean band, Last Chance.
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe this is my 100th episode. It’s been a lot of work, but I’ve really enjoyed it. I want to thank you all for listening in, and I hope you’ve enjoyed it half as much as I have. I also hope Last Chance’s “Jingle Bells” really knocked your socks off. I can only imagine how awesome it would have been seeing them perform it live.
As I mentioned in the episode, here’s the link to Rare Earth’s 21-minute version of “Get Ready.” Do yourself a favor and listen to it all the way through.
Join me back here in January as I kick off my fifth year of the podcast. I’ll be back to my normal schedule of two new episodes per month unless something special comes along. Up first, I’ll be talking about a handful of Christmas singles from the 1990s. I have a pretty large collection of CD-singles, so this will be the first of several episodes covering them. Then join me on the 25th as I talk about Mari Yoshiko’s “Singing Christmas Party” from 1962. It’s an album that doesn’t come up for sale often and it was a real struggle to finally get a copy. Both episodes should be a lot of fun, so be sure to listen in.

As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

What’s up, dudes? Remember the cult classic “Christmas Evil?” Matt McGrath from Nostaljunk joins me to dissect it. It’s a character study of one man’s descent into madness.
Harry is a scarred man. After witnessing Santa caress his mom in an inappropriate manner—not realizing it was his dad in costume—he has a mental break. Years later, the now adult Harry is obsessed with Santa, emotionally detached from his family, and promoted to toy factory manager. He spies on the neighborhood children to see who’s naughty or nice. While at an office Christmas party, a company donation scam finally cracks him, and he dresses up like and mentally becomes Santa. He steals company toys and donates them to a home for handicapped children. Then he murders his greedy colleagues. Consequently he’s chased by an angry mob, confronts his brother over his childhood trauma, and flees. His van falls off a bridge and…
Toy soldier with actual bayonet? Check. Realistic Santa attire? Yep. Toy bag for suffocating wicked coworkers? Definitely! So paint a sleigh on your van and drive into this episode on “Christmas Evil!”

What’s up, dudes? We’re in the middle of the 12 days of Christmas, so that means time is precious. Also, I drove 10hrs to see my folks, and didn’t have a lot of time to get a new episode ready. So, here are a few holiday IDs from 1989 by the entire Capitol family!

Merry Christmas! This is my Christmas episode, out a few days late I know – but Christmas is a season, not just a day, right?
Today I wrap up season 4 and Christmas 2023 with the kindness guru himself – Robert Peterpaul, host of the Art of Kindness Podcast, returns to talk about Christmas, the importance of showing kindness (love over fear for the win!) – and we digress into one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had about A Christmas Carol. And if that wasn’t enough for you, it’s a good thing this episode is supersized! We also gush about our amazing spouses, our fur babies, and more. Then I end the episode by reading a selection from A Christmas Carol.
This has been a great year for the podcast, but it’s also been a long one. So I’ll be taking a few extra weeks off from the podcast to rest, travel, and spend time with family. I’ll see you again in late January as we’ll begin Season 5!
Until then, let’s remember to honor Christmas in our hearts, and try to keep it all the year.

It’s our eighth consecutive Christmas together. As we close out the 2023 season, we’re taking a look back at the news and trends that made this Christmas what it was.
Thank you all for another wonderful Christmas season together.
Merry Christmas! And until we meet again, may your days be merry and bright.
Merry Christmas, holiday fanatics! Can you believe that after a tremendously long year of counting down to this day that we are finally here? We sure can’t, but we’re as excited to celebrate as everyone else!
We hope Santa was good to all of you, but he’s not the only one with a present for you this year! In this special Christmas Day episode of the show, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they gather to discuss Season 2 of the legacy sequel series, “The Santa Clauses“!
As you might remember, all three elves have a special place in their heart for the original “The Santa Clause“, soft spots for its two theatrical sequels, and enjoy Season One of the show! So what do they think of this controversial, and seemingly divisive, Second Season? Well, it turns out they like it more than a lot of people do! Is that purely due to nostalgia or do they think the story – which they speculate may be the last in the franchise – has a lot going on its own merits? You’ll just have to tune in to find out! And who knows? Maybe their discussion may change some of your minds and have you looking at it in a different way!
So after you unwrap your gifts and have enjoyed your Christmas feasts, settle into your favorite chair beside the glow of your Christmas tree, put your feet up, relax, and enjoy this very festive episode! And
As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! We’re looking forward to counting down to Christmas 2024 with all of you! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
