Original Release Date: December 15, 2014

Here it is! The thirteenth installment of A Very Special Podcast!This week Patrick and Kat watched the classic television movie A Very Brady Christmas. This is the one where the Brady kids are all grown up and let their adult problems stew until Christmas morning.

Plus, Mike Brady is looking very Alex Trebek-ish and Carol’s crazy 80s hairstyle isn’t the most looniest thing about her. Bobby wants to be a race car driver and someone kidnapped Cindy Brady and replaced her with Jennifer Runyon, our favorite non-working actress.

Also, Alice is not only jobless but also husband-less; Sam the Butcher abandoned his vows for a slice of sexier rump roast. Sadly, there is no mention of Tiger the dog or Cousin Oliver; they are probably both dead. Happy Holidays!

Episode #7: Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

Plus, Ola Ray and MJ allegedly smooch on the set of “Thriller,” and John Landis’ fancy suits. Kat’s reoccurring nightmares of MJ as a child and Patrick lies to his friends that he went on an incredible journey to Neverland Ranch!

Also, Patrick wins a costume contest, does a creepy Michael Jackson impersonation, and is genuinely upset that the “Thriller” music video originally premiered in the month of December. And Kat still hates Halloween and beasts with forty eyes!

Also, College Kat thinks Halloween is stupid and would rather drink vanilla flavored vodka in her dorm while all her guy friends hit up the party circuit dressed as chicks!

Then, Patrick reads an e-mail he wrote to to a company twelve years ago that made Mr. Burns masks and swindles a popular eating establishment into getting free pizza. Bread crumbs!
