As a Christmas treat, this week's episode is a celebration of Patrick Swayze and the movie Road House as well as a love letter to Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Aaron Gulyas and Blackwolf John Oates getting festive with AP. For the uninitiated, non-MSTies in podcast land, this stems from a musical number in the MST3k episode Santa Claus Conquers the Martians in which Crow T. Robot presents a new Christmas song about Road House. Taking the idea and running with it, as is the habit with this show, Gulyas and Blackwolf were the perfect guests to discuss both the movie and the TV show with.

The first half of the show largely concerns itself with Road House, its legacy, Patrick Swayze as a pop culture force and the ethics of ripping throats out. From there the conversation goes to pure geekery over the riffing robots and bad movies of MST3k, its impact and influences, and they joy it brings so many people. 

From Strange HQ, we wish you the Swayze-est Xmas of them all!
