HAWK TALK – Surviving the (Holiday) Experience

This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, we talked about holidays, winter and otherwise.

Topics, roughly:

Time, which used to make sense

Several holidays and feelings, media, and traditions related thereto

Flash Gordon

Mixed-faith families

A New York Christmas Wedding (the lesbian time travel gay dead baby angel movie)

Gingerbread

Secular rituals

Night in the Woods: Lost Constellation

The Dark is Rising (again)

The Spirit of Christmas (which is to say, exploding)

J. Michael Strazynski's The Real Ghostbusters

Community's first three holiday specials

Justice League: Comfort & Joy

Passover and that time Moses gave Pharaoh a frog

Passover and Miles trying very hard to play it cool

Chocolate bunny funerals

Easter basket comics

Being excellent to each other and partying on
