'Twas the day before Christmas and on the podcast, Kellen and Chris were there having a blast. Watching episodes from The Simpsons' golden age, and not new stuff that might send them into a rage. "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace" is first, where Bart creates for Springfield a robbery thirst. Following that is "Grift of the Magi," where school may be saved but for deception and lies. And while I know versions of this poem like this are quite trite, I still say Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

As Kellen and Adham Fisher find out, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is at first glance a harmless Christmas special from Rankin / Bass. However, it doesn't take long to realize that this special contains the most evil character in any Christmas special, worse than the Grinch, the Wet Bandits, and the Satanic Woodland Critters. No, it's not the Abominable Snow Monster of the North. It's Donner.

As far as modern classic Christmas movies go, Kellen doesn't think there are many better than 2003's Elf. Find out why he feels the movie walks the fine line of playing with tropes, while being so genuine at the same time.

It's a wonderful podcast today on Earth-2.net: The Show, as Will Ackerman takes over with a TV 101 all about It's a Wonderful Life. Then Will joins Kellen for the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, where they review "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special."

Family Guy has never been one to shy away from corrupting wholesome childhood imagery in the name of laughs. To Kellen and Tom Hemmings, this is no more evident than in "Road to the North Pole," which sees a dystopian Santa's Workshop and a gift delivery that turns to a B&E / double murder.

What happens when you take one of the greatest political satirists going today, remove said political satirizing, and replace it with a hodgepodge of musicians singing songs of wildly varying qualities? You get A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All! To decipher the good from the bad, we turn to the Colbert Nation's own Kellen Scirvens and James Trenchard.

Frosty the Snowman is one of Rankin / Bass' most well-known and beloved pieces of work. Frosty Returns, despite its title, has very little to do with the original. Kellen brings Adham Fisher back to the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, and you'd be surprised who has the most negative view.

In the 1990s, very few cartoons were as consistently funny as Animaniacs. However, as Kellen and Will found out, that level of consistency doesn't necessarily apply to Christmas episodes. Listen for yourself as they review "'Twas the Day Before Christmas" and "A Christmas Plotz."

Kellen is joined by Chris Johnson to review one of the world's most beloved Christmas specials. From the mind of Dr. Seuss, the animation of Chuck Jones, the vocal stylings of Boris Karloff, and anchored by one of the most well-known Christmas song of all-time comes Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Someone at some point in the 1990s thought it would be a good idea to have Arnold Schwarzenegger star in a family Christmas comedy movie. The result was Jingle All the Way, and Kellen is joined by James Trenchard to make sense of it all.
