Happy Holidays from Cullen and Hannah and friend of the pod Katie! This season we controversially stretch the boundaries of our genre to slouch towards Bethlehem with our boy Milo and the team behind Glee and High School Musical. We explore the real war on Christmas, the history of the festive season and even do a seasonal Bible study. (Making Cullen a new favorite of Hannah’s mom) Will our religious upbringing clash with the fun bops of this musical? Will we reignite the wars between Catholics and Protestants? Find out in this seasonal delight of an episode.

We’re easing on down to a cult-classic version of Oz–it’s The Wiz! This week, Cullen reveals his disdain for 70s cinema, Hannah demands answers about Dorothy, and our guest Jahlyn tries to figure out why this Oz is so dystopian. Also, Cullen and Hannah reveal their very weird relationship with this movie, which they had never seen before.

We’re returning to Oz once again to chat about Wicked: For Good! This week, we cover the rest of the Maguire novel, Cullen drops fresh, oddly relevant childhood-nickname lore, Hannah makes too many puns, and our guest Rob shares additional insights from having seen the stage musical a few days prior–a true Wicked loremaster!

This week, we’re podcasting to save Hannah from Rottingham! Cullen’s enlisted the help of our good friends and fellow folklore podcasters, Katrina and Geoff, of The Fairy Tellers. We talk about the hyper-specific references to the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film, the community theatre vibes of this film, and whether the jokes were even funny then or now.

Hannah is B-A-C-K! Cullen fulfills his T-H-R-E-A-T to make Hannah watch Disney Channel’s Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise. Covering all FOUR MOVIES, we tumble into our magical capitalist overlord’s best race allegory, cheer for our favorite ship #Zaddie, and nearly zombie-out trying to remember Demi Lovato’s ridiculous character name from Camp Rock.

Take a trip with us to Kevin Cosner’s Merry England. A land of butt doubles, Bryan Adams and Ewok Villages. Joining us for this leg of the journey are fellow fantasy podcasters Callum Sinclair and Michael Lee Richardson of Once Upon A VHS. Cullen draws the connections between May Day Festivals and the birth of Robin Hood as we know him, Michael points out the geographical inaccuracies and advocates for more witches in basements, and Callum gives us a surprise lesson on Robin Hood in British Television. We all ask, “was Alan Rickman hot?” and Sean Connery shows up

Where did Robin Hood come from and why is this version Temu Batman? We explore the bewilderingly modern visual and narrative aesthetics of the Taran Edgerton and Jamie Fox Robin Hood which may be the most heterosexual movie we’ve watched on the pod. Cullen delves into the oldest Robin Hood ballads, Krizabeth tries to determine if Robin Hood only helps people to impress Marian, and Hobz asks “wait, isn’t this just real life now?”
