Tis the Podcast

This week, the elves cover the 2019, theatrical film, Last Christmas - based on the Wham! song of the same name. If you've yet to see this film but plan to at some point, we urge you to pause this episode, go watch, and come back to finish the episode, because this is one movie you want to go into blind if at all possible! In a rare occurrence, Thom and Anthony find their opinions in sync when it comes to this very literal film adaptation of a song they love, while Julia stands on an island alone. As for how they feel about it, however? You'll have to listen to find out! Also discussed this episode: Coronavirus, Disney's upcoming Honey I Shrunk the Kids sequel, the soon-to-be-released Hocus Pocus board game, a possible new ranking system for the movies we cover, and the hosts' favorite Christmas things - from smells, to tastes. So settle in, relax, and enjoy! 

This week, the elves cover the 2019, Netflix Original Movie, The Knight Before Christmas! How does this fare against the streaming service's other original holiday fare, specifically A Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby? Well, the elves don't exactly agree on that matter, and leave it up to the listeners to decide. Also discussed this week are the hosts preferences for Time Travel films, amongst other things! So settle back and enjoy this fun episode! 

This week, in honor of the long President's Day weekend in the United States, the elves journey back to TV Land in order to cover the two Christmas (or are they merely set at Christmas?) episodes of HBO's critically-acclaimed, award-winning, hit comedy, Veep - starring Julia Louis Dreyfus and based on the British show, The Thick of It.

There's plenty of other things discussed this episode as well, including:

• Thom and Julia's recent snow day

This is one fun episode you definitely do not want to miss, so settle back and enjoy!

Happy February fellow Christmas lovers! Here it is, Anthony's very own Groundhog Day nightmare - the elves revisit the long lost Pete's Christmas episode. Has the last year-and-a-half lessened Anthony's saltiness towards this movie or will he stand by his original feelings? Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode - over, and over, and over again.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Martin Luther King Day! This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they discuss the Christmas episodes of the hit-comedy, Frasier, in what is Tis the Podcast's longest episode yet! (And one of their most quote-filled to boot!) If you want to follow along at home, the episodes talked about are:

Season 1 - Episode 12: Miracle on 3rd or 4th Street

Join the elves as they once again take a trip back to Victorian London to cover yet another adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story, 2019's BBC/FX co-production, A Christmas Carol, starring Guy Pearce as Scrooge. What will Julia, Thom, and Anthony think of this unconventional, darker than usual take on a classic? Will there actually be some debate as to whether or not this is a Christmas movie? Tune in to find out! 

Happy 2020, Christmas Fanatics! Though we may be past the Christmas season and at the start of a New Year - a Leap Year, at that - we are as determined to keep the holiday spirit alive and well the entire time! As such, perhaps it's a blessing in disguise this episode was delayed a week because really, what better way is there to kick off a New Year than with a Christmas classic? This week, Thom, Julia, and Anthony discuss the 1946 film, It's a Wonderful Life! Once again, Anthony finds himself on the opposite side of the fence as Julia and Thom regarding the quality of this movie, Julia finds she may have more in common with him than she does Thom when it comes to deciding whether or not this is a Christmas film. The hosts also discuss how their holiday seasons went and resolutions for the show as it barrels toward its third year amongst many other things! So settle back with your favorite holiday-flavored drink from Starbucks before they go away again for the next eight months and enjoy!

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! We hope that you've all been good this year, and that Santa is good to you tonight! We also hope that you have a wonderful day celebrating the holiday with your family and friends tomorrow! Our little gift to you this year is a special, mini, bonus episode in which the elves read one of their favorite Christmas poems: Katharine Lee Bates' Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride. We hope you like it, and enjoy it as much as we do.
