What’s up, dudes? I've got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to dig into Charles Schulz’s Peanuts. That’s right! It’s the 1983 CBS Saturday morning cartoon The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show episode “The Play!”

Charlie Brown writes about the previous Christmas for a school paper. Lucy is in charge of the school play, and she immediately decides to hold the performance at the ice rink. Linus is recruited—nay, ordered—to sing “Jingle Bells.” Sally plays an Angel, Peppermint Patty a sheep, and Marcy the Blessed Virgin Mary with glasses. Oh, and good ol’ Charlie Brown has to raise funds. Lucy will skate with Snoopy.

Chuck sells homemade wreaths door to door.  He also somehow gets blamed when his dog gets stage fright, Peppermint Patty slips on ice, and Sally forgets her lines. Linus, in fear of Lucy’s reprisals, wings the worst rendition of the popular carol ever. Oh, and Sally gets a new boyfriend. Eat your heart out, Linus! Sweet Babboo indeed!!

Skating dog? Check. Awkward sheep costume? Yep. Hockey Stick the Herald Angels Sing? Hockey Stick!! So grab your stockings, sell some wreaths, and write a paper about this episode of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show!

The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show “The Play” (w/ Anthony and Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? I’ve got Justice Ducks Laramy Wells from Moving Panels and Art Kilmer  from A Cozy Christmas here with me to talk about the Terror that Flaps in the Night! Yes, it’s Darkwing Duck! The hero had a Christmas episode in ‘91 entitled “It’s a Wonderful Leaf!” DW’s old nemesis Bushroot is up to no good, and only we can stop him!

When plant/duck hybrid Dr. Reginald Bushroot goes shopping on Christmas Eve, he’s bullied into returning to crime. Meanwhile, Darkwing Duck and his sidekick Launchpad trim the tree at home. Gosalyn is excited for Christmas, and can scarcely contain her desire for presents. Bushroot  gets revenge on the mall goers who dehumanized him with the help of anthropomorphic Christmas trees. Luckily, DW happens to be there too.

After a thrilling fight, Bushroot creates tree toppers that can extend his command over many Christmas trees. He uses them to steal presents a la Dr. Seuss. A chase ensues, and DW manages to freeze the garden-variety (pun intended) criminal and recover the presents. Well, he recovers all except his neighbors’ presents. In an act of charity, Gosalyn donates her presents to Honker and his family.

Christmas tree mutants? Yep. Candy cane and Christmas light weapons? Got ‘em. Rosebud? That’s in there too! So don your costume, equip your grappling gun, and let’s get dangerous with this episode on Darkwing Duck!

Darkwing Duck "It's a Wonderful Leaf" (w/ Laramy and Art)

What's up dudes? Adam Pope from Wizards! The Podcast Guide to Comics and The Retro Network (Geekster) and William Bruce West from Remember That Show? and West Week Ever are here with me to talk all about the sitcom E/R! Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Why is George Clooney here?

It's Christmas Eve in the E/R, and the staff is almost finished working their shifts. Unfortunately, a big blizzard prevents their replacements from relieving them. It doesn't help that Dr. Sheinfeld's daughter is missing and that MTV VJ Martha Quinn walks in with hurt ribs. Jenny finally shows up with news that her mother, Sheinfeld's ex, is remarrying. One injured paramedic later, and they agree to talk it over later.

Nurse Julie also is trying to ditch the E/R to get to her hot date at The Galaxy. Dr. Sheridan fires her for trying to get out of work. Martha Quinn is ready to be discharged and agrees to meet Jenny. Unfortunately, with Clooney's Ace around, Jenny's 15yro hormones take over and she ignores Martha. Julie sprains her ankle and Sheridan rehires her. All's well that ends well.

Wreaths and trees? Yep, in the background. Hanukkah presents? Yep, meeting Martha Quinn. Fixing parking tickets? Well, you can ask, but Fred won't do it. So grab your stethoscope, put on your warm clothes, and work your shift to this episode!

E/R (w/ Adam and William)

What’s up, dudes? Matt Spaulding from North Pole Radio and Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax join me to talk all about the game show “Hollywood Squares!” It’s a full size tic tac toe with celebrities giving zingers and singing songs!

In a 1987 episode, it’s Scott versus Becky with guest panelists Joan Rivers, Jim J. Bullock, Tracey Gold, Alyssa Milano, and Gary Coleman. The secret square contained a trip to Disney World! Talk about a prize! As it turns out, Scott came out with $150 and a bike, and Becky really made out like a bandit with $300, bikes, and that dope trip to Disney! Get it, girl!

The following year in 1988, Tommy and Suzy are contestants. The grid was filled Joan Rivers, Debbie Reynolds, Jim J. Bullock, Tina Yothers, Jason Hervey, and Janice from “The Price is Right!” Debbie Reynolds serenaded us with Rudolph while Tommy raked up the dollars. No one won the secret square, so there was no trip to Hawaii, unfortunately. Tommy wins, but also doesn’t get the car. Talk about super random final challenges!

Celebrities singing? Yep. Matching red “Hollywood Squares” jackets. For sure! Alyssa Milano looking disinterested and bored? Oh yeah! So choose Xs or Os, call on your favorite TV star, and listen to this episode! Give us a buzz! Send a text, dudes!

Hollywood Squares (w/ Matt and Vinnie)

 What’s up, dudes? I've got Jeff C. Smith with me to talk about the dynamic stroke of comedy genius that is 1985's "Clue!" Jeff is the writer/director/producer of "Who Done It: The Clue Documentary," and he shared some cool stuff! But waitasec, Gerry! I love the film, but it isn't a Christmas movie! Well, it was a Christmas season release, premiering in December of '85! 

 When six strangers are invited to a mysterious mansion for dinner, murder is on the menu. Mr. Boddy, the host, is blackmailing all of them, from the jealous wife to the adulterous doctor to the maid's employer. One by one others arrive at the house only to be picked off as they're implicated as blackmail accomplices. With three different endings, the movie answers the questions of who killed Mr. Boddy, and where, and with what. "Who Done It: The Clue Documentary" is all about the making of the cult classic. Jeff interviews cast and crew from Leslie Ann Warren and Michael McKean to director Jonathan Lynn. What was the enigmatic fourth ending? How did Jonathan Lynn end up writing the script? Why weren't the characters wearing the colors of their game counterparts?  Blackmail? Yep. Murder? Of course. Flames on the side of my face? Only if Madeline Kahn is saying it. So grab your revolver, shoot the singing telegram, and run from room to room listening to this episode! Clue: The Movie Podcast
