The Holidays Don't Have To Be Perfect. (Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie!)
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Ho, ho, ho! In this festive edition of "Tis the Podcast", weβre bringing back the 90's to dive into the comedic chaos of the 2023 Christmas movie, "Urkel Saves Christmas: The Movie!", based on the classic TV show, "Family Matters"!Before analyzing the antics of Steve Urkel as he tries to make Christmas better (and fails on every level), the elves talk Disney World and Anthony introduces his new podcast "Change My Movie Mind," in collaboration with "Film Strip Podcast's" Jay Skipworth.
We then head back to the North Pole to dissect the awful musical cartoon version of Steve Urkel. Is it as all cringeworthy, or does it occasionally, and unexpectedly, hit the right notes? Find out in our in-depth discussion!
For all you ghostly fans, stick around until the end where we talk the upcoming "Beetlejuice" sequel, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice"! To quote the ghost with the most, "Itβs showtime"!
So, grab a mug of hot cocoa, put on your favorite ugly Christmas sweater, and join us for a trip down memory lane. Remember, Christmas isn't just a season, it's a feeling! πππ
Until next time, stay frosty! And make sure to keep the Christmas spirit alive all year round. Happy listening!

Patreon Sneak Peek - Tis the Ruined Podcast - Episode 1 - Terrifier
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy February! One month down on our journey to the 2024 Holiday Season!
This past week, life got in the way for all of the elves and they were unable to record! But never fear, for they've decided to drop this once Patreon-exclusive episode as a sneak peek at the extra bonus content you can get for as little as $1.00 per month if you subscribe to us there!This episode was last October's inaugural episode of a series of Patreon episodes that Julia and Anthony have been doing - a Patreon spinoff show, if you will - "Tis the Ruined Podcast"!
For those who don't know, "Ruined" is a podcast that Anthony and Julia could have done in another life; it features two friends - Halle Kiefer, who loves horror films, and Alison Lieby, who won't watch them - who sit down each week to discuss a different scary movie. After Alison watches the trailer for the film they will be covering, Halle walks her through the plot of the film in question, beat-by-beat, and Alison reacts to the movie she'll never watch as she guesses the twists, deaths, and plot along the way.
It's a fantastic podcast, and one that both Anthony and Julia are obsessed with! And because they were made for this concept, they decided to borrow it to cover a particularly gruesome horror movie that Anthony adores and Julia will never watch: Damien Leone's "Terrifier"!
Even if you've never seen the film, you've probably seen its main antagonist - Art the Clown! So listen as Anthony walks Julia through the horrifying plot and she tries to guess Art's every move, which characters will survive, and which will succumb to his various methods of torture! Even if you're not a horror film fan, this is a really fun episode you'll most definitely want to check out! (Though not with kids in the room! As this was originally recorded for Patreon, there is some coarse language!)Β
So settle back and enjoy! And make sure to keep your eyes on Patreon all year long as we have tons of bonus episodes planned for the premium subscription! If you're not currently subscribed, you may want to consider doing so!Β If not though, never fear! For we'll be back in your main podcast feeds every Monday with your regular Christmas programming - including next week! Thanks for excusing our lack of a new episode this week, and for putting up with our brief foray into spookiness instead! As always, we appreciate all of the love and support! β€οΈπ
