Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy First Monday in December! We're in the home stretch now, if you can believe that!
To mark the occasion, Santa Claus himself - Matt Spaulding of "North Pole Radio" - joins the "Tis the Podcast" elves this week to discuss the brand new, Disney Plus original holiday film, "The Naughty Nine"!
Anthony is on warpath in this episode, raging against modern-Disney movies and the ability of the child actors they continue to cast, pitting him against Julia, Thom, and Matt - who all really enjoyed the movie - in an absolute Battle Royale of a discussion!
What worked in this movie? What didn't? And do all four hosts find any points of agreement during the discussion? You'll just have to tune in to find out! Needless to say, this is one festive and fun episode you want to be sure not to miss!
So, settle in with your favorite holiday drink, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️

Chestnuts Roasting And Marshmallows Toasting, Let's Put The Year Under The Tree! (Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy April 1st! Can you believe we're a quarter of the way through the year already? We sure can't! Yet, here we are - one major holiday closer to the most wonderful time of the year!
This week, the elves kick off "Animation/Children's Movie Month" by covering the 2023, Disney Plus original movie, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever"! The elves' reactions fall all over the place with this specific film, and we'd bet you'll be surprised about which elf feels what  - and no, the feelings expressed are not part of an April Fool's Day prank! Regardless of how your hosts feel, however, they have a blast discussing this new holiday movie amongst plenty of other things!
So, settle back, relax, and enjoy this extremely festive episode! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️

For Me, Christmas Is All About The Gifts. And If You're A Kid, Your Only Goal Is To Maximize The Amount Of Presents You Get On The Big Day. (Diary of A Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever)

Happy Sunday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Easter! We hope the Easter Bunny was good to all of you and that you have a blessed day full of food, family, and friends!
To celebrate the occasion, please enjoy this special bonus episode in which Julia and Anthony (sans Thom, who had prior commitments the evening this was recorded!) travel back to the trippy world of Rankin/Bass for the first time in almost *two years* to discuss their 1971 holiday special, "Here Comes Petter Cottontail"! Even by Rankin/Bass standards, this one is bizarre - but that makes the conversation between your two hosts all the more hilarious as they try to make sense of it.
So, after enjoying your Easter hams and all of the chocolate bunnies and eggs you can stomach, settle in and enjoy this holiday treat! And get excited - because we're another major milestone closer to Christmas! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! And again: Happy Easter! ❤️
