The Massive Attack Podcast

In this very brief mini episode, Joe goes solo to give a very special announcement, and what the future holds in store for the Podcast.

When we first started doing our 12 Days of Christmas specials, we said we'd not go with the Rankin Bass ones as they were a bit too well known, however to round out the countdown this year we broke that rule, but only because this Rankin Bass from 1985 "The Life And Adventures of Santa Claus" is so out there it was hard to pass up.

Based on a novel by the writer of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum, it's the story of how the immortals raised abandoned child Claus, and shaped him into the man he would become.

Sound a bit tame? Watch and learn!

Don't get confused, yes we know we did a cartoon called "A Christmas Dream" last year in the countdown, but it's not the same.

On hell no! That was a cute stop motion  animation about a little girl and a ragdoll,  this master piece of self promotion is the story of a little boy (Webster himself, Emmanuel Lewis) who has lost the spirit of Christmas, so along with some celebrity friends including a very dodge David Copperfield, charity santa, Benny (played by Mr. T) shows him the true meaning of consumerism...oops, I mean Christmas. 

We are very excited to present the show today, and not just because for Day 10 we chose The Outer Limits Season 1 Episode 13 "The Conversion", but also because it's our 200th podcast!

Come help us celebrate by gatecrashing our work Christmas party, just like 90's hair-curtain, baggy suit wearing Frank Whaley.

In what is probably a first for any of our Christmas countdowns, today we go with an Aussie comedy classic in the sitcom Mother and Son, with Season 3 Episode 1, "Christmas Drinks".

Both of us have fond memories of this show, but somehow as we've aged, we both can relate to Arthur a lot more than we did as kids.
