An ex-dancer! Strange advent calendar! Bloody aftermath! This week the boys go to France to celebrate Christmas and must obey THE ADVENT CALENDAR!!

But does The Advent Calendar become a fun yuletide shocker or noise in the background? Plus, we go back to TV Corner and check out THE FALL OF THE HOUSE USHER season 1 episode 8!

Home invasion! Unearthly visitors! traumatic incident! This week the boys live a solitary and withdrawn life, only to be met by aliens...And believe me NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU!!
