Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe it's already the final week of January? We sure can! This month has dragged!
This week, the elves gather to tackle the 2023 musical film, "Journey to Bethlehem"! All three of their opinions on this movie differ wildly: one loved it, one hated it, and one thought it was fine, but you'll just have to tune in to find out who thought what! Regardless it's a fun and festive episode filled with interesting debates and more than a few history lessons courtesy of Thom Crowe. 
So, settle back, relax, enjoy, and get excited about the fact that we're one month closer to the most wonderful time of the year! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️

Chestnuts Roasting And Marshmallows Toasting, Let's Put The Year Under The Tree! (Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy April 1st! Can you believe we're a quarter of the way through the year already? We sure can't! Yet, here we are - one major holiday closer to the most wonderful time of the year!
This week, the elves kick off "Animation/Children's Movie Month" by covering the 2023, Disney Plus original movie, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever"! The elves' reactions fall all over the place with this specific film, and we'd bet you'll be surprised about which elf feels what  - and no, the feelings expressed are not part of an April Fool's Day prank! Regardless of how your hosts feel, however, they have a blast discussing this new holiday movie amongst plenty of other things!
So, settle back, relax, and enjoy this extremely festive episode! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️

For Me, Christmas Is All About The Gifts. And If You're A Kid, Your Only Goal Is To Maximize The Amount Of Presents You Get On The Big Day. (Diary of A Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever)

Happy Sunday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Easter! We hope the Easter Bunny was good to all of you and that you have a blessed day full of food, family, and friends!
To celebrate the occasion, please enjoy this special bonus episode in which Julia and Anthony (sans Thom, who had prior commitments the evening this was recorded!) travel back to the trippy world of Rankin/Bass for the first time in almost *two years* to discuss their 1971 holiday special, "Here Comes Petter Cottontail"! Even by Rankin/Bass standards, this one is bizarre - but that makes the conversation between your two hosts all the more hilarious as they try to make sense of it.
So, after enjoying your Easter hams and all of the chocolate bunnies and eggs you can stomach, settle in and enjoy this holiday treat! And get excited - because we're another major milestone closer to Christmas! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! And again: Happy Easter! ❤️
