In honor of our good friend Liz Schuh, the Festive Fans visit the homeland and the cradle of Western civilization this episode. We head to the Greek islands, past Athens and those incredible ancient Acropolis and Parthenon ruins, and onto the sun-drenched beaches, the piercing blue skies, and the balmy Aegean Sea. When you have stunning Santorini and fun-filled Mykonos, who needs Christmas? We do!
It’s got groove, it’s got meaning
The boys finally travel to a country that one of us has recently visited. Mark just returned from Greece to provide us with a unique Man on the Street (in a beautiful foreign locale) report. Does he learn to say “Merry Christmas” in Greek? – no; Does he visit any of the movie locations? – no; Does he ask the locals about their Christmas traditions and customs? – no. Does he go cliff diving in a thong? – well, no again, but it does provide a hilarious visual. We kind of feel like a jealous mistress, when Mark is on vacation, he forgets all about us …
Greece is the time, is the place, is the nation
We take this cinematic opportunity to experience the Christmas Tango. We watch as First Lieutenant Stefanos Karamanidis learns to tango from a nervous, young soldier, Lazaros Lazarou. Karamanidis wants to dance with the wife of his superior, the hard-as-nails Colonel Manolis Loggos, at the camp’s Christmas party. We put this ballroom instruction to good use when we grab the Kalikantzaroi and all start to boogie to Despina Vandi’s Xristougenna. That’s even before we eat the Melomakarona and Kourabiede cookies! Ain’t that right Liz?

When Meg passes her math test, the family goes to Holiday World as a reward. Each member of the Bennett family visits a specific area of the holiday-inspired theme park. Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Scarab has launched a plot to take control of the biodroids! With some fancy reprogramming, the biodroids turn on the park patrons!
Meanwhile, Scarab’s minions have overloaded the mainframe and the park is set to explode! Sport-1 subdues Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, and a werewolf to save some children. Rock-1 fends off a laser firing rock band. Karate-1 kicks some redcoat tail while IQ tries to survive a native attack. Subsequently, Bionic-1 acts as a conduit and siphons off the excess energy, averting disaster. Consequently, Scarab sends the biodroids after the team , which links up to disable them. Merry Christmas!
Santaland? Check. Halloweenland? Got it. Toyland? Ummm…is that a holiday? So grab your data cartridges, transform into bionic mode, and fight along to this episode on Bionic Six “Holidaze!”

With Kerry’s Hollywood insight and her mom’s candid opinions, this review is sure to have more twists than a holiday rom-com plot! Will the aunts’ holiday cheer win over Kerry’s mom, or will this movie face a festive roast? Tune in for laughs, sass, and some seriously candid commentary.
Audience Question:

Hello everyone! Today’s episode was intended for Halloween, then it was intended for Christmas Podcast Day, then it was intended for yesterday… But it’s here now, so better late than never, right?! In today’s episode I talk about another delicious recipe I tried – Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Muffins. I highly recommend! Then for our story I read the odd but charming story “Little Roger’s Night in the Church” by Susan Coolidge. What happens when a young boy gets accidently locked in a church on Christmas Eve? Some very strange things like talking owls, fairies, and more!
