Episode #38: A Muppet Family Christmas (1987) Original Release Date: December 26, 2015

A pre-dead Jim Henson rounds up all of his creations for one night of holiday cheer; plus raging late-80s Miss Piggy hair. If you like musicals, then this is right up your alley because it's 80% song and dance; if not, then listen to our horrible regrets to select this as podcast fodder. We kid, we kid. We loved it!

Episode #37: The O.C. - "The Best Chrismukkah Ever" Original Release Date: December 23, 2015

Seth Cohen's bi-religious holiday Chrismukkah comes to Orange County and things go from awful to horrendous. Nerdy Seth faces a dilemma when two foxy babes are super into him, Marissa gets drunk (again), and some crazy shit goes down involving the adult characters that revolves around a land deal. The only thing that could possibly make it worse is if a mentally ill rich kid enters stage right (it happens, i.e., Oliver)!

Plus in unrelated news, Patrick admits that he was kind of into the Paris Hilton song "Stars are Blind" at one point in time.
