The Holiday Show

Shelly Brisbin with Randy Dotinga, Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr and Nathan Alderman

Jeremy is writing a letter. And falling in love. And Dana’s getting ready to lip sync to “The Jackal”. Wait, wrong Sorkin show - it must be a dance to “Boogie Shoes”. And the team covers a sad story. Almost as sad as their kerning.

Lex Friedman and Brian Warren

Some Christmases are white, some are merry and bright, and some are darker than you expect from a silly game show. Brace yourself for some history — and also plenty of fun and hijinks — it’s still an Incomparable Game Show, after all!

Christmas Trivia 3

Kathy Campbell and Erika Ensign with Glenn Fleishman, Lex Friedman, Monty Ashley and Shelly Brisbin

Miyazaki Club morphs into Ghibli Club as we discuss 1991’s “Only Yesterday,” written and directed by Isao Takahata. It’s a story of one (childless workaholic?) woman’s search for herself in the past and the present, plus, of course, a deep dive into organic farming.

We are still in the season of the witch here at the Agency. Join our coven as we search for the Wtiches’ Road in Agatha All Along. We start with a quick spoiler-free pitch to watch this glorious show before getting into the vibes and feelings and wardrobe-we are suckers for a good coat. Take off your shoes and stay on the path witches. We might all make it to the end.

Agatha All Along

Annette Wierstra with James Thomson and Heather Berberet

Listen to our friends Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English on the Incomparable BIFF podcast because they did an episode by episode podcast for Agatha All Along. Go listen for a more indepth conversation.

Watching the Assembled episode for Agatha on YouTube is well worth your time.

And we can’t forget Kathryn Hahn Sings the Entire History of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Heather mentioned a National Geographic documentary called Witches: Truth Behind the Trials which is available on Disney and Nat Geo. Watch the trailer.

What better way to celebrate Marvel’s Jesus from Canada than on his birthday—American Thanksgiving? Go deep into your mind palace and sniff around like a pig hunting truffles as you try to find all the references in this inter-reality really violent romp. It’s a fun one for the whole family(1). Or for you as you sneak away for a couple of laughs.

(1- it is not for the whole family)

We return surprisingly often to the Hitchcock well, but his 1940s films are so interesting. Here is a gothic romantic mystery, with poor Joan Fontaine just trying to get her bearings in an old, dark house. Why are her new husband, Laurence Olivier, and his housekeeper, Judith Anderson, so mean to Joan, and what’s become of the cupid in the morning room? Join us and find out.
