What’s up, dudes? I’ve got some old friends from the DPG here to reminisce all about the blood-soaked mythological arcade game Mortal Kombat on its 30th anniversary! We remember lining up at the arcades, waiting to help the chosen one Liu Kang defeat Shang Tsung and his emperor! Oh yeah, he’s gonna turn into a dragon to do it, too! Don’t forget the awesomeness that was Mortal Monday! Do heads get ripped off? Yep. Are there buckets of blood? Of course! Does someone shout, “Toasty?” Well, grab your kunai, put on your ninja gear, and take a portal to the Outworld to listen to this episode to find out!

I’m making my first trip to Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. Bronner’s is the world’s largest Christmas store, taking up the space of about one and a half football fields. What’s my opinion of the store? Of the town? And should you make a visit? I’ll share my thoughts and feeling in this live stream episode.

What’s up, dudes? I’ve got ToughPigs.com Editor-in-Chief and Co-Owner Joe Hennes here in the playroom to talk about the 1986 Jim Henson classic “The Christmas Toy!” It’s the adventure of Rugby Tiger and his attempt to once again be the premiere present under the Christmas tree! There’s terror! There’s suspense! There’s…an empty void of darkness for toys that are frozen forever? Yes, there’s that too! I mean, “Toy Story” totally ripped this off, right?! So grab your favorite toys, hop on down the chimney, and make your way around the tree to listen to this episode!

Happy October! Today’s episode is pretty special – it was mostly written by you, my listeners! A few days ago I posted a question on my social medias, “Is Santa real?” and you all responded en masse… in today’s episode I read many of your responses and talk about them, and then end the episode with an original true story that inspired this entire episode. One of my listeners named Daniel Morgan sent me this wonderful story that shows the power of belief, imagination… and Santa Claus! I know you’ll enjoy it.
If you have an original story or memory you’d like to send me, don’t be afraid to reach out. I’d love to feature it on an upcoming episode.
Merry October to you all, and as the saying goes – may you never be too old to search the skies on Christmas eve!

Grab your pumpkins and pour your ciders, kids, because the most wonderful time of the year is finally upon us: HOME FOR THE HORRORDAYS!
Home For The Horrordays is our annual tradition of watching Christmas-themed horror flicks. There are more of them than you’d imagine, and this year we’ve picked some real oddballs! On this episode, we dig into the 1984 cult classic Night of the Comet!
It’s 11 days until Christmas and a passing comet has vaporized most of Los Angeles. Survivors Regina and Sam find themselves besieged by mutant stockboys, nefarious scientists, and zombified cops. Will they escape with their lives? Can they find a way to save Christmas? There’s only one way to find out…

What’s up, dudes? Happy Halloween! I’ve got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast here to dive into the 1981 TV movie “The Munsters’ Revenge!” 15 years after the show ended, the gang returned—with recast children—to clear their names! Doppelgängers of Herman and Grandpa are committing crimes because of Sid Caesar, and the Munsters are on the lam! Will they capture Dr. Diablo in time for Lily’s Halloween party? Hop in your Dragula, put on some surf music, and speed into this episode to find out!
“Oh, Christmas Isn’t Just A Day, It’s A Frame Of Mind… And That’s What’s Been Changing. That’s Why I’m Glad I’m Here, Maybe I Can Do Something About It.”
I’m back! And I’ve got an episode that demands the answer to the philosophical question; What is Santa Claus? The original Miracle on 34th Street holds up as a classic for a reason and answers this question.
Learn as I go into my personal definition of Faith, Talk about the guy who came up with the idea, Valentine Davies, How he achieved his dream as a playwright, and how his college acting buddy, George Seaton went from voicing the Lone Ranger to working with the Marx Brothers and getting his break with “The Song of Bernadette”

Think of this podcast as an advent calendar style show. Each episode will get us closer to Christmas as Charlie talks about a Christmas related theme. An episode can range from a piece of Christmas trivia, to a review, a song, something fun, an interview, etc.. The possibilities are endless, but will always be Christmas themed.
Here are the episodes that dropped the weeks of September 10th through the 23rd:
