Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy June! We are *less than twenty days away* from the halfway point to Christmas 2022! How insane is that?
This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they metaphorically drop some acid to travel back to the world of Rankin/Bass and cover the 1979 holiday (?) special, "Jack Frost"! Even by Rankin/Bass standards this one is...*trippy*. But, as the past has shown, those make for some of the funnest episodes! Per usual, Anthony is the only one of three elves that has history with this particular special. What do Thom and Julia think of it after watching it for the first time? Well, we're sure you can guess.
Also discussed this episode: "Stranger Things 4", "Top Gun: Maverick", the answers to two questions of the week, and much, much more.
So settle in, get kinky by allowing Jack Frost to nip at your nose to simulate winter in this summer heat, and enjoy this fun, laugh-a-minute episode that's sure to start off your week right!

Listen in as they look at the true story behind the legend and discuss Francis B. Church's iconic letter in "The Sun", talk through the animation style, and ultimately disagree on how to rank this short. Who likes it and who doesn’t? Tune in to find out!

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! Can you believe that we're already over halfway through May?! Where is time going?!
Journey back 30 years through time with the elves, all the way to the year of 1992, to discuss the Romeo Muller Christmas special, "Noël", which was marketed as "a Christmas story for all generations"! Does the little red Christmas ornament, who has a happiness, live up to the tagline that describes his short film? Can he spread holiday cheer and share his happiness with all of the elves, or is this special just too surreal? How does having a history and nostalgia with this cartoon affect Anthony's rankings, and how does it play for Thom and Julia who had no idea this cartoon existed and are seeing it for the first time? All of these questions, and more, will be answered in this fun filled, "Mystery Science Theater 3000"-esque episode that's sure to bring a smile to your face!
So settle in and enjoy this fun episode which will serve as the perfect way to kick off the week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀
