Happy ‘Ber Months! Before jumping into the thick of our Halloween content, we are dropping a special BONUS episode centered around going back to school! This week we are covering Boy Meets World’s second season episode titled “Back 2 School.”
In this episode, Matt discusses his love of the new Boy Meets World podcast, how much he likes Mr. Turner in the show and how this episode has a pair of strange jokes revolved around a character’s sexuality and the enhancement of a body part for one female character. Despite those jokes, Matt has a lot of fond memories with this episode and, as always, determines whether or not this should be deemed a classic!

(The Big Bang Theory – Final Three Episodes)
Hello everyone! I’m back from an unplanned hiatus, and I’m reading to dive into the ‘Ber months with my Christmas cheer. Today’s episode is a fun one – I start things off talking about my crazy August and a misadventure with a bat. Then I open the mail bag and share some emails that have come my way.
The majority of the episode is then given over to a discussion with the filmmakers from the recent short film “Black Santa”. Writer-Director Travis Wood and writer Weston Auburn talk to me about how the film came about, the message they hope it inspires, and the importance of representation. Here are some links to the film and it’s imdb page. I’d recommend watching it before listening to the episode if you don’t want minor spoilers of the film.

Author Natalie Bickel talks about her book, The Christmas Clue, a children’s book about a scavanger hunt that Santa Claus leaves for siblings Ryan and Natalie.
In the thirtieth episode of 12 Days Pod, Dan and Cara discuss signing contracts, sweet little doohickey monkeys, and about the wildest Christmas parade suburban Virginia has to offer.
Friends, we’ve missed you so much. We hope you love this episode as much as we love our silly podcast.

This time we look at Christmas starting with the letter U.

There’s a reason we don’t often go to the made-for-TV well, and it’s because we fear falling into that abyss never to be seen again. But sometimes a project intrigues you so much that you can’t help but gaze into it anyway.
This week we discuss the 1990 made-for-TV Disney film A Mom For Christmas! Directed by George Miller—”Zeus & Roxanne” George Miller, not “Happy Feet” George Miller—this film frequently verges on becoming a weird bit of body horror involving mannequins, alive and otherwise.
We weren’t sure what to expect here, but we wound up talking about soup for breakfast, mannequins on film, speculation on the forthcoming Christmas Story sequel, and a whole lot more!

We are very close to the ber months so celebrate with Merry Britsmas by hearing me ramble about the second Band Aid to take on Do They Know It’s Christmas, a pair of super spies from the sixties in a strange festive adventure, and how decorating was all about tradition and thrift during wartime.

Welcome to episode 58 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I’ll be talking about the 1988 compilation, “The Night Before Christmas.”
My lack of free time really hit a critical point this month, which is why this episode is a few days late. I’ve been looking forward to covering this album because it’s really one of the best 80s compilations. It’s also the only place you can find most of the songs on the album. Only Kazuo Zaitsu and Hidemi Yamamoto’s songs were released elsewhere.
I hope you’ve enjoyed at least a few of the songs on “The Night Before Christmas.” It really does have something for everyone. Join me back here in September as I talk about a couple albums from the 1990s. First up is Mika Kanai’s “Clam Chowder” from 1997. It’s more of a winter-themed album, but it includes a couple Christmas songs, and I couldn’t resist getting it due to the title. Then join me on the 25th as I cover another compilation, “White Album ’90,” from 1990. It features an eclectic selection of songs and was one of those albums that took me over two years to track down. You don’t want to miss them.
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.
Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

We can hardly believe it, but we enter the ‘Ber months THIS WEEK! Welcome fall, one of the greatest times of the year.
To get you in the Autumnal spirit, the elves tackle Francis Ford Copalla’s timeless classic “The Godfather.” Is that a Christmas movie, you may ask – well, you’ll have to listen to find out!
In addition to this star-studded film, the elves talk mob culture, our excitement for fall, and we announce some new limited-edition swag.
If we haven’t said it lately, we really do love and appreciate the great community of support around this podcast – y’all really are the best! 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀

It’s episode 63 of the TCP and it’s great to have you hear.
First up we have a Yule Log, and what better way than to celebrate the birth of Jesus than watching him drink wine next to a lovely wood fire with his faithful dog by his side.
If you want to watch it, here’s a link:
Then we look at how much Bob Cratchit earned and if he was really that poor.
In this episode’s Do You Hear What I Hear our self-appointed podcast bartender Bob Baker explains the meaning of the word Crisps.
Then we have a new segment, Wreck The Halls. This was suggested by Bob, and it’s your chance to share stories of when things didn’t go according to plan at Christmas. Bob shares the story of his first Christmas as a married man and how their glorious tree became, well, not so glorious.
Then it’s the quiz. 10 questions, 5 songs and a whole load of fun.
This episode’s recommendation is The Total Christmas Podcast. Not as entertainment, but as a sleep aid. Try it, you’ll sleep like a baby (you’ll wake up in the middle of the night crying because you peed yourself).
