Happy holidays, everyone! We're escaping from the vicious heat of the Northern Hemisphere July with a couple of wintery offerings. First, a look at the one and only animated version of comic superstars Opus and Bill, in which the little penguin that absolutely couldn't tries to get his fondest wish granted. Then we look at an obscure Japanese/Russian/Slovak fairy tale about literally all the months, the girl who endures them, and the queen who doesn't respect them. We'll also check on Wizards of the Coast crossing the uncrossable divide between MtG and DnD, the social justice ramifications of tabletop gaming, and also Tom and Jerry and more ALF Tales. This episode goes places.

Cartoons in this episode: "A Wish for Wings that Work"; "Twelve Months"
