What's up dudes? Bionic, Bionic Six! The theme song is such an banger, and Adam Pope from Wizards! The Podcast Guide to Comics , The Retro Network (Geekster)  Remember That Show? and I talk all about the toy and cartoon episode “Holidaze!”

When Meg passes her math test, the family goes to Holiday World as a reward. Each member of the Bennett family visits a specific area of the holiday-inspired theme park. Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Scarab has launched a plot to take control of the biodroids! With some fancy reprogramming, the biodroids turn on the park patrons!

Meanwhile, Scarab’s minions have overloaded the mainframe and the park is set to explode! Sport-1 subdues Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, and a werewolf to save some children. Rock-1 fends off a laser firing rock band. Karate-1 kicks some redcoat tail while IQ tries to survive a native attack. Subsequently, Bionic-1 acts as a conduit and siphons off the excess energy, averting disaster. Consequently, Scarab sends the biodroids after the team , which links up to disable them. Merry Christmas!

Santaland? Check. Halloweenland? Got it. Toyland? Ummm…is that a holiday? So grab your data cartridges, transform into bionic mode, and fight along to this episode on Bionic Six “Holidaze!”

What’s up, dudes? It’s the A-Team: four Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn't commit who help the innocent while on the run from the military. I’ve got Laramy Wells from Moving Panels and Joe Fulton the Christmas Aficionado with me to talk all about the Thanksgiving episode “Family Reunion!”

On Thanksgiving, General Stockwell orders the A-Team to reunite a wanted criminal, A.J. Bancroft, with his daughter Ellen within 24 hours. In return, Bancroft will provide evidence that could bring down half the crooked politicians in Washington. Bancroft, who is terminally ill, has not seen his daughter in twenty years. However, Ellen knows all about his misdeeds from reading the papers. The old man has another reason to hire the A-Team specifically: he tells Murdock that Templeton Peck was born Richard Bancroft, his son. Bancroft’s former associates in crime don’t want their involvement to go public, so they send goons after Bancroft and his daughter. Can the A-Team intercept them and reunite the estranged family? Of course! That’s why they’re the A-Team! Unfortunately, not before Bancroft dies and misses the chance to tell Face that he’s his dad as well. Family, right?!

Explosions? Check. Tricking out the van? Got it. Family drama and character study? Definitely more than usual for this show! So grab your journal full of secrets, explode some fire extinguishers, and race into this Thanksgiving episode of the A-Team!

What's up, dudes? It’s Christmas Podcast Day 2024! Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to discuss the quirky yet wholesome Christmas special “Lollipop Dragon: The Great Christmas Race!” Brought to you by the Society for Visual Education, Inc., a division of the sewing company Singer, the special was part of a huge series of books, tapes, and other merchandise.

The 1986 special sees Lolly and company hosting the big Christmas party in the land of Tum Tum where all the world’s lollipops are produced. When the aristocracy arrives, the herald issues a royal proclamation: “In honor of the season, a great Christmas race will be run.”
Not only can anyone can enter, but the winner also gets lollipops made in their likeness and flavor of choice. Oh, and Santa will give them out to all children of the world for Christmas Day! What high stakes!

Meanwhile Baron Bad Blood spies on the proceedings and decides to enter to spoil Christmas with liver flavored treats. He creates a jet-sleigh pulled  by chimeras to counter the panda-pulled and horse drawn sleighs of Lolli and gang. He also sabotages the other contestants Wacky Races style. Despite a detour through the Forest of Mirrors and having to stop to rescue the other sabotaged contestants, Lolli and gang win the race! The Baron is defeated!

Buzzsaw arm weapon? Check. Ice Boulder trap? Got it. Commemorative 7 pendant lollipop? Only for winners! So grab your pal, hop on your sleigh, and ride to this episode on “Lollipop Dragon: The Great Christmas Race!”

What's up, dudes? It’s a fun, light hearted episode today with special guests Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast and CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night! That’s right! We’re talking the ghost with the most, Beetlejuice!

In the 1988 film, Adam and Barbara Maitland are newly deceased. When their idyllic home is suddenly invaded with artsy yuppies and their gothic daughter, they call on the moldy bio-exorcist. Consequently, Betelgeuse falls for Lydia and after supernatural shenanigans, tries to marry her. Long story short, the good guys win.

In the recent sequel, Lydia almost loses her daughter to a homicidal ghost. Reluctantly, she turns to Betelgeuse to save her. Unbeknownst to her, his succubus ex-wife is out for revenge for her murder. Unfortunately, the happy ending comes at the price of Lydia's hand in marriage. Or does it?

Black and white striped suit? Check. Scary ghost face? From the rear. Spectral lip sync? Only to Day O (The Banana Boat Song)! Oh, and MacArthur Park! So grab your handbook for the recently deceased, draw a door, and go the Other World with this episode on "Beetlejuice!"

What’s up, dudes? It’s all about WWF Prime Time Wrestling Halloween 1989, battle royale style with Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa,  CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night, Joe from Now Watch This, Manny from Feliz Christmas, Merry Navidad, and CJ from Rose Suchak Ladder! We talk Bobby the Brain and Gorilla! Also, we dive into Hogan and Savage! We body slam Andre the Giant and the Red Rooster! This episode has it all!

Airing October 30, 1989, the matches begin with Red Rooster taking on Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, however an interruption by Rugged Ronnie Garvin disqualifies Rooster. Mean Gene recaps the Hulk Hogan/Ted Dibiasi match. Zeus and Hulk fight, though Dibiasi hits Hulk from behind. Luckily, Jake the Snake dops in and saves Hulk. Meanwhile Bobby and Gorilla argue about trick or treating, and plug the Survivor Series matchup on Thanksgiving. Oh, and Roddy Piper dressed as Bobby the Brain for Halloween.

Tito Santana performed the Mexican Hammer and defeated Bob Emory. Subsequently, Haku and Andre stunned Mike Williams and Chuck Casey. As well, Dusty Rhodes beat Joe Cruise with a big elbow. Consequently, Roddy also beat Brother Love in studio C, and puts a skull mask on him! Finally, Mark Young collided with the monstrous Rick the Model Martel. Young, seemingly in trouble from a drop kick, comes back with a choke to pin and win!

Survivor Series plugs? Constantly. Weasel costumes? Uh huh. Bushwhackers licking Roddy Piper during their promo?!?! What?!?? So grab your belt, get on the ropes, and backflip to this episode on Prime Time Wrestling Halloween 1989!

What’s up, dudes? It’s a Sherman Hemsley vehicle about a small Philadelphia church. Yes, it’s an Amen Christmas, and Joe Fulton the Christmas Aficionado is with me to wax poetic about it! Well…or at least reminisce about watching it. From December 1986, it’s “Your Christmas Show of Shows!”

It’s Christmas, and Philadelphia’s First Community Church is preparing a Nativity play. They’ve sent out invitations to local celebrities and politicians and one has finally responded positively! Unfortunately, they only have two days to get it ready. Oh, and Deacon Frye has insulted and run off the director!

The staff works hard to finish the preparations for the show, but a freak snow storm prevents the film crew from attending. Of course, the staff is heartbroken. The children, however, are unfazed, and perform the pageant with zeal and joy. Moved by the sweet innocence of the youth, the staff join in singing “Away in a Manger.”

Homemade knit socks? Check. Hand seen costumes and individually typed programs? Got ‘em. Judy Winslow? Umm…yes? So grab your costume, give your best animal noise, and sing along to this Amen Christmas episode!

What’s up, dudes? Its one of the best vampire movies out there! Yes, I've got Bob Baker from Festive Foreign Film Fans,  Santa Ambassador Matt Spaulding from  North Pole Radio, and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to talk Salem's Lot! It's a 1979 made for tv movie adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel, and it's dope!

When Ben Mears comes back to Jerusalem's Lot, he intends to research and write about the old Marsten House. He befriends a young college girl named Susan, and begins a relationship with her. Meanwhile, the house is bought by antiquities dealers Kurt Barlow and Richard Straker. Spoiler alert: Barlow's a master vampire and Straker's his familiar.

The town's denizens slowly begin disappearing, falling ill, and dying. As it turns out, Barlow's been transforming the Glick boys and others into vampires. Mears, Susan, and a few others, including a doctor, a teacher, and young boy named Danny, begin to fight back. After Fr. Callahan fails his crisis of faith and leaves, and after Susan is transformed and slain, the rest eventually kill Barlow and Straker. They set the town on fire, too.

Creepy old haunted house? Check. Creepy old antique shop? Uh huh. Creepy old blue skinned vampire with rat teeth? Only if it's a poor makeup job! So grab your stakes, fill up vials with holy water, and hunt during the daylight with this episode on "Salem's Lot!"

What’s up, dudes? The Baby-Sitters' holiday party promises to be the best ever! But why isn't Stacey sharing in all of the fun? Danielle Clarke of No More Late Fees and I find out why this is truly a special Christmas for the Baby-sitters Club! Yes, it's the 1990-91 "Baby-Sitters Special Christmas!"

The Baby-Sitters have a lot to do. There's shopping for secret Santas, planning the hospital Christmas party, and attending to their regular sitting duties. Unfortunately, Stacey has to manage her diabetes as well. Quite frankly, it's a monumental talk during the sweet-filled holiday season, and she doesn't do a great job.

Meanwhile, Kristy works around the house to earn a commercial grade baseball glove. Claudia and the other girls begin to decorate for the annual Christmas party. Cue the usual 'kid who hates Christmas' bit. In this case, it's a boy with a broken leg whose parents are constantly working. Rather dramatically, Stacey lets her blood sugar spike, Dawn reprimands her, and Kristy gives her brand new mitt to the boy. At least they all sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

Rambunctious children? Yep, little Pete from Pete & Pete. Near death experience. Uh huh, poor Stacey. Scooby Doo-like coincidental Secret Santa run in? Definitely! So grab your bath mask, hide behind a yellow hat, and dig this episode on "The Baby-Sitters Special Christmas!"
