As we all know, the Christmas Cousins are famed for their hard-hitting investigative journalism (Pulitzer pending!). In Episode 165, they’re back to tackle another high-stakes exposé — armed with the precision, diligence, and, naturally, knee-jerk reactions that only true sleuths bring to the holiday season. This time, they’ve set their sights on Hallmark Channel, that beloved beacon of Christmas cheer, facing allegations of age discrimination more shocking than running out of eggnog on Christmas Eve!
Word on the (snow-covered) street is that a former Hallmark casting director claims the network has been quietly replacing its seasoned holiday stars — with younger talent.
Cousin Seth and Cousin Chad unpack these unsettling accusations (translation: they read half the article) and dive deep into what this could mean for Hallmark’s festive future and the fate of our cherished Christmas icons. Is Hallmark simply decking its halls with younger talent, or is there a less-merry truth behind it? Get ready for some real sleigh-bell gossip as the Cousins dig in!
Tune in for the Cousins’ cough rigorous analysis and decide for yourself: Is Hallmark really in trouble, or just trying to avoid a future of reruns?

Plus, send your thoughts, suggestions, and general Cousin Seth fan mail to christmascousinspod@gmail.com!
QUESTION:
“Do you think Hallmark is too focused on younger stars, or is this just some festive fuss? Which classic Hallmark stars would you miss the most if they were replaced?”

Welcome to episode 124 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Hiroko Williams’ 2016 album, “My Room For Christmas.”
I hope you enjoyed “My Room For Christmas” as much as I do. It’s such a fantastic album, and Hiroko Williams is absolutely amazing. She’s had a fascinating career, and learning about it really kept me engaged while working on this episode.
Be sure to listen in next month for my trio of episodes about the God of Electric Guitar, Takeshi Terauchi. I’ll start out with his 1960s Christmas EP’s, then talk about his 1979 album, “Let’s Go! Terry X’mas,” and finish up with his 1983 album, “Electric Merry Christmas.” He’s truly a legend in Japan and you’re sure to enjoy his music.
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.

Welcome back, spooky friends! This week, our pal Dr. Nick returns to help us discuss the 2007 slasher flick P2. It’s a solid contender for Worst Movie Title Ever, but as we’ll discover, the movie itself is pretty solid!
It’s Christmas Eve, and office worker Angela finds herself stuck in her office building with lonely security guard Thomas. Things quickly take a turn for the worst as Thomas reveals himself to be a lovelorn psycho who takes her hostage and tries to have his way with her. She escapes, and a brutal game of cat and mouse ensues.
We’ll dig into what makes this movie tick, how it has or hasn’t aged gracefully, and the use of Christmas music as diegetic plot devices.
What’s up, dudes? It’s all about WWF Prime Time Wrestling Halloween 1989, battle royale style with Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa, CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night, Joe from Now Watch This, Manny from Feliz Christmas, Merry Navidad, and CJ from Rose Suchak Ladder! We talk Bobby the Brain and Gorilla! Also, we dive into Hogan and Savage! We body slam Andre the Giant and the Red Rooster! This episode has it all!
Airing October 30, 1989, the matches begin with Red Rooster taking on Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, however an interruption by Rugged Ronnie Garvin disqualifies Rooster. Mean Gene recaps the Hulk Hogan/Ted Dibiasi match. Zeus and Hulk fight, though Dibiasi hits Hulk from behind. Luckily, Jake the Snake dops in and saves Hulk. Meanwhile Bobby and Gorilla argue about trick or treating, and plug the Survivor Series matchup on Thanksgiving. Oh, and Roddy Piper dressed as Bobby the Brain for Halloween.
Tito Santana performed the Mexican Hammer and defeated Bob Emory. Subsequently, Haku and Andre stunned Mike Williams and Chuck Casey. As well, Dusty Rhodes beat Joe Cruise with a big elbow. Consequently, Roddy also beat Brother Love in studio C, and puts a skull mask on him! Finally, Mark Young collided with the monstrous Rick the Model Martel. Young, seemingly in trouble from a drop kick, comes back with a choke to pin and win!
Survivor Series plugs? Constantly. Weasel costumes? Uh huh. Bushwhackers licking Roddy Piper during their promo?!?! What?!?? So grab your belt, get on the ropes, and backflip to this episode on Prime Time Wrestling Halloween 1989!
