Surprise! It's another SoL-Mates Holiday Movie Swap! We're discussing the joys of our selected holiday films, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever (2014) and The Spirit of Christmas (2015). Learn more than you could ever want to know about Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies! Appreciate the sarcasm of Aubrey Plaza outside of Parks and Rec.

Host segments: Tangerine, where art thou?; Is Grumpy Cat not required viewing?; Jeff takes offense; the improbably named Tilky Jones.

We're doing it. We're ripping off the bandaid and tackling the Rifftrax take on The Star Wars Holiday Special. Wow - was it bad. But we came away with an extra dose of holiday cheer and a lot of information about this cluster-f**k.

Host segments: Joe still loves eggnog; a convenient documentary; the holiday special that almost wasn't; what does it mean to be a Star Wars family?; the secret world of wookees; Cold War Existential Dread; generational disconnect; seeking Tim Conway; Devori will protect Carrie Fisher with her life; a protective fugue state; commit to the bit; what if it was Frasier?

We decided to try to cleanse our palates after last week's fare with a fan favorite from Japan - Prince of Space. What we discover is that the arms of Godzilla vs. Megalon are long and taint everything they touch.

Host segments: we like it very much; keeping your eye on those axis powers; what's up with Wally and Suzy?; Japanese cram schools; can chicken swim?; that's his burden.

Oof - this isn't our favorite Godzilla flick. Or kaiju flick. Or...anything. It's not our favorite anything.

Host segments: Jeff's hot dog predilictions; kaiju librarian; inaccurate flying kicks; it's really Japan's fault; degrees of Kenny-ness; Action Uncle vs. Scientist Uncle; high-quality kaiju a must; Joe Don's International Incident.

We're celebrating spooky season with an MST3K favorite, Track of the Moon Beast! Spoiler alert: none of these Johnny Longbows stop talking.

Host segments: no trick-or-treaters blues; strange STI prevention; pranking logic; Doctor Devori and the Case of the Missing Joe; Jeff beefs with movie smokers; a very special case of air rage; Komodo red herrings; #exothermproblems.

It's time for the Halloween minisode no one asked for! Join us as we talk Halloween movie reviews of House (1977) and The Blackening (2022).

Joe's making us pull off yet another band-aid with the terribly terrible Atlantic Rim. Woof. You know how sometimes Asylum films transcend their badness? Just...woof.

Host segments: Joe is hoisted on his own petard, folks; Recapturing the magic is impossible; dealing with a love hostage situation; 0% scholarship; stellar host segments; Captain Exposition!; The X-Files-ification of Atlantic Rim.

We're creeping into creepy season with a Rifftrax basically-a-short, Winterbeast (1992)! Well - not everything is short.

Host segments: What's in the box?!; tantric winterbeast; your wendigo update; when is a joke not a joke?; Twin Winterbeast Peaks; accidentally not a porno.

We're celebrating Hobbit Day pre-emptively with a viewing of Rifftrax's take of The Fellowship of the Ring! Thrill as we discuss a film that we've all seen at minimum thirty times and STILL manage to clock in at nearly two hours of discussion. Go figure.

Host segments: who doesn't love a Rugged Fellow (TM); updating Tolkein's perspectives; Joe clarifies wanting a "hard R"; Sam's gonna Sam; we love Viggo; Rifftrax vs. toxic masculinity; beyond improvement Joe Don Bombadillo.

We're in a teen cycle and we can't get out! This time, it's teens from outer space! And boy, are they sure teens.

Host segments: high school hall pass; Grandpa vs. Richard Speck; the art of the skeleton flop; strange tourist attractions; a monastic orders lecture brutally cut short; Joe's thoughts on Derek; the teen skeleton film; Derek is ALF.
