COME IN AND KNOW ME BETTER, MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's Day 25 of the 25 Days of a Christmas Carol and the Sullivan Twins came through to talk about the Muppets Christmas Carol but then ended up just rambling! It's Christmas! In the words of Tiny Tim, "Please don't call me Tiny. It feels patronizing!"

Stay tuned in 2021 for another adaptation project but until then listen to Two Boys in a Balcony every Wednesday

Come in and know me better, thank you very much! It's Day 24 of the 25 Days of Christmas and it's Christmas Eve and ho, ho, ho my own dang Ghost of Christmas Present, Bill McMorrow stopped by to hold my hand and finally walk me the iconic Scrooge from 1970 starring Albert Finney! Bill is the goodest boy in the balcony and really been a great source of fun over the course of this unending pandemic garbage world! 

Google any list of Christmas Carol adaptations and this one is always in the top three. People absolutely love it and it was new to me and after some of the slogs I've had to go through to get this point, it was a real delight sitting down with these old goofs, singing and dancing in the dirty streets of Soundstage London! There's only one more sleep till Christmas and I can send this podcast to the farm upstate where there's plenty of fields and rabbits to chase. Now get outta here! Go, you stupid old podcast!

Come in and know me better, blam! It's Day 23 of the 25 Days of A Christmas Carol and whoa-ho-ho-ho could it possibly be? Is that that Ghost of Christmas Past? No... it... it's.. why it's Seangeorge! Seangeorge is a filmmaker in Los Angeles and more importantly, my old roommate and sketch partner! His company Heckler Films is just about to release it's latest short film, Stark Raving Actress!

It's the Seans reunion you never knew you needed. After almost a decade of not doing anything funny together, the Seans gathered once more, separately on different coasts to ostensibly talk about Richard Williams' beautiful Academy Award winning animated short film, A Christmas Carol but really it was an unspoken contest to see who could get the other to call them an idiot first! If you've missed all the fat banter of two idiots with the same name screaming across the UMass Theater Department than you're in luck, friends because it's Day 23 of the 25 Days of A Christmas Carol and this gift has no receipt. 

Also check out Hecklerfilms.com for more information on their new short film, Stark Raving Actress!

Come in and know me better, Guy! It's Day 22 of the 25 Days of a Christmas Carol and boy golly, it's a Christmas miracle! Originally we were going to try and tackle a new 2020 Hallmark movie but we couldn't find it streaming either legally or illegally!  So we called an audible and stumbled upon a movie from 2004 that was made for television called Karroll's Christmas which finally asks the question "what if the ghosts went to the wrong house?" It's a pretty wild movie but also good? Tom Everett Scott, Wallace Shawn, Larry Miller, VERNE TROYER! It's very strange but maybe the best version of this type of thing. Comedian Andrew Mayer stops by to discuss this hidden surprise!

Come in and know me better, ! It's Day 21 of the 25 Days of A Christmas Carol and boy do we have an episode for you ! This aint your daddy's Christmas Carol. We're looking at the dirty, grimy, gritty THREE HOUR LONG FX/BBC Mini-Series from 2019, written by Steven Knight and produced by Tom Hardy and Ridley Scott. It's insane. At the end of this episode, you are going to hear things and think, "there's no possible way any of that is in the movie" but believe you me, there was so much more we couldn't get to. It's got the highest production values and at every turn, the creative team seem to ask "What's the most up way to do this?" Comedian, pal, and loud laugher Sam Ike dropped by to discuss. Enjoy !

A Christmas Carol (2019) is streaming on Hulu but don't bother. Spend time with your family or read a book or watch a different one that won't take you a week to get through it because it's so upsetting.

Come in and know me better, Alex P Keaton! It's Day 20 of the 25 Days of a Christmas Carol and today comedian and friend Kelly MacFarland logged on to go through a really fun episode of the second season of Family Ties that just so happens to be a slightly insane Christmas Carol homage. It was a fun chat about Christmas and our own dang traditions but also a ton of goofs over some of the truly bizarre choices this show made and how almost every member of the cast rose to the occaison (sorry Tina). Podcasting at the holidays! I am truly losing my mind!

Come in and know me better, doc! It's Day 19 of the 25 Days of A Christmas Carol and thank heavens it's a short one today! We watched segment one from 1979's poorly produced Looney Tunes special, Bugs Bunny's Christmas Tales. This ain't your daddy's Looney Tunes and thankfully it's probably not yours either but it was 8 minutes long. Now you might be thinking "But Sean how did you guys talk for another about a 40 year old, 8 minute cartoon?" Fret not, loyal listener, cause Merry Christmas Eric Tayor is here and we dive headfirst into Eric's conservative religious upbringing, his disdain for Star Wars, MY disdain for Sturbridge Village, and then we commiserate on how hard it's been to be a fun Christmas dad during the Covid-19 quarantine.

Come in and know me better, babe! It's Day 18 of the 25 Days of a Christmas Carol and today, television historian, illustrious podcaster, comedian, and friend Ken Reid drops by with the beautiful corpse of a one season sitcom, The Famous Teddy Z starring Jon Cryer and Alex Rocco. I'm completely transparent on this: I had no idea what this was. It's very hard to find episdoes and info on it but this one episode is a real comedic masterclass from Alex Rocco. He's genuinely pretty incredible in it. So for all you guidance counselor heads out there, this one is for you. It's me. It's Ken. It's the Famous Teddy Z.

Come in and no me better, gran-ite! It's Day 17 of the 25 Days of A Christmas Carol and I don't know if I have the strength to push through writing anymore glowing things about these movies or my guests but thankfully the Ghost of Christmas Good Times, Will Smalley flew in through the window with a little podcast pick-me-up (cocaine) and we have a real fun time talk about the absolutely unnecessary and dreadful The Flintstones' Christmas Carol from 1996. 30 years after it's heyday, some executive trying to build off the earlier good will of the 1994 John Goodman Rick Moranis starrer decided now was the time to thrust America's Favorite Stone Age Family back into primetime with their own INEXPLICABLY LONG version of A Christmas Carol. It's not one to gather the family round and watch!

The Flintstones Christmas Carol is available to rent on Amazon and Blockbuster Video. It stinks

@MrSeanSullivan and @WillSmalley on the social media things but have no expectations. We're old men. 

Come in and know me better, Co-nan! It's Day 16 of the 25 Days of A Christmas Carol and today Santa's sleigh is making it's first (but not last) stop to the Hallmark Channel and the endless drivel that they wrap around the bones of the classic Dickens tale. Only four months after the premiere of the daytime talk show Ellen, Hallmark presented a Christmas Carol about a rotten daytime talk show host who is visited by Gary Coleman, William Shatner, and absolutely in know way James Cromwell. It's a real drag but fortunately my old buddies from my Conan internship days and accomplished podcasters themselves, Eric Szyszka from We Hate Movie and his podcast partner Ben Worcester from their TJ Hooker rewatch podcast, Hooked on TJ Hooker were willing to reunite with your boy, me, and talk about this monstrosity and reminisce about our time at 30 Rock!
