It’s Leon Day 2021, and we watched My Summer Story, the original sequel to A Christmas Story. We also talk about our upcoming zine, some new art/stickers, a podcast format change, and some projects we’ve been working on. We’ll be posting some fun stuff on the blog over the next couple of weeks to celebrate Leon Day.

Show notes:

• Here’s the video for the Ralphie’s Red Ryders song about My Summer Story.
• Here’s the Ralphie’s Red Ryders bandcamp.
• The Christmas prank call at the end of the show is from Another Prank Call Show. Thanks to King Richard.
• “I Just Want To Wear Long Sleeves” is by Braithwaite and can be found at our bandcamp on this free Christmas comp, which also includes songs by Mike and Rusty
• “Christmas Dragnet” is performed by Rusty and Nora. Stan Freberg’s 1953 version can be found here.
• For Fork’s Sake is our friends’ Twilight podcast.

We’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and the return of spring with a special podcast episode. We discuss Leprechaun’s Christmas Gold (1981) and briefly compare and contrast it to the Leprechaun horror series. Also: telling your friends to “go,” backing into parking spots, and allowing your kids to get hit in the head with flying vegetables.

The background music includes songs from Altan’s The Red Crow, Bing Crosby, Dennis Day, and the Rankin Bass film. We’ll be back for Leon Day!
