Tis the Podcast

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! This week, the elves are joined by Kendall Farrae of "For Forks Sake" podcast to journey to "Schitt's Creek" and cover the one holiday episode of the beloved Canadian comedy, Season 4, Episode 13, "Merry Christmas, Johnny Rose"! 

In this laugh-a-minute, quote-filled episode, listen as the elves discuss their histories with this brilliant show, what makes it so special, their favorite projects the cast have participated in in the past, and much more. And not only do they answer whether or not this episode of TV is actually a Christmas special and has a Linus moment, but Julia must also answer - as a newcomer who has never experienced this sitcom before, was it good enough to make her want to watch the entire series?

And in addition to all of the "Schitt's Creek" talk, there's discussion about the "Twilight Saga", the elves address listener Danielle Essary's suggestion that they dedicate every October to covering Halloween content instead of Christmas content, and they answer the question of the week posed in the prior two episodes: "Is there a non-Christmas movie that's not even set at Christmas that you watch every year around the holidays?" 

So blast that air-conditioning to simulate a winter environment, cozy up on the couch with your favorite warm beverage, and enjoy this very entertaining episode we can guarantee you do not want to miss!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! We hope you're all having a great long weekend and that you all enjoyed your Canada Day and 4th of July! 

To kick off Christmas in July month, join the elves as they travel back in time to discuss two classic and beloved, black-and-white television shows, "I Love Lucy" and "The Addams Family" - specifically, their holiday episodes entitled, "The I Love Lucy Christmas Show" and "Christmas with the Addams Family"! Enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane as they discuss their histories with the show, this simpler time, and these two iconic families we all wished we could be a part of! Fair Warning though - there are a few adult jokes in this one that would earn this episode a PG-13 rating and may not be appropriate for the youngest of ears!

Happy Leon Day, Christmas Fanatics! We are officially halfway to the big day itself! As of tomorrow, we will be closer to Christmas 2021 than Christmas 2020, and if that's not something for us to celebrate and get excited about, we don't know what is!

As a special treat to celebrate the occasion, Julia, Thom, and Anthony gather around their mics to discuss the 2014, American, stop-motion animated, Christmas musical television special, "Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas"! How does this adaptation of the Broadway musical that adapted the beloved movie that remains number one on Tis the Podcast's Christmas canon list four-years in hold up to the original story? Is it filled with holiday cheer, or does this sap all joy from the proceedings? Are Jim Parsons and Mark Hamill able to hold a candle to the performances of Will Ferrell and James Caan? The answers to these questions, and much more, can be found in this extraordinarily fun episode! So blast that air-conditioning to simulate that 'Ber Month weather, sit back, and enjoy this festive treat!

Due to life getting in the way prior to Julia departing for Florida on a family vacation, the elves came up one episode short to cover her absence! As such, there is obviously no new episode this week. However, we didn't want to leave y'all hanging, so we've decided to share one of our Patreon-Exclusive "Christmas Movie Commentaries" segments with y'all! In our "Christmas Movie Commentaries", the elves provide a commentary as they gather to watch one of the marquee Christmas films that everyone loves - in this instance, "Elf". The hosts will count you down and let you know when to press play on whatever device on which you're watching your movie, but if you just want to listen and not watch along, this is still a fun episode to brighten your week with a bit of holiday cheer! So settle in, queue up that Blu-Ray player, and enjoy a trip through the Candy Cane forest to New York City with your favorite elves! 

And don't worry, next Monday we'll be back with a brand new episode in which we're joined by Todd Killian of "Christmas Clatter" to discuss the 2007 film, "Christmas in Wonderland" (his choice of film) and this upcoming Thursday with the next chapter of "Another Christmas Story" which Steven Beech, a.k.a. Disco54, will be reading to y'all!
