Sarah & Michael Save Christmas!

Ho ho ho Jingles Babes, Miss us? Yeah, sorry about the lack of episodes this year. Michael went back to school (library studies) and got into sclupting. We promise more episodes in 2025. Hope you've all had a good year. We're joined by podcaster Ferris and comedian and writer Martin Dunlop (tbh they don't podcast and comedy too much these days either, they're our friends. We're getting old and rea...

Ho ho ho Jingles Babes, 12(ish) hours, 8 movies/TV specials/TV movies/Comedy Special, 2 exhauasted hosts (and maybe 2 special guests). It's the 12 hours of Christmas - the annual tradition that gets more insane every year. How did this start? Why do we keep doing it? Why are we ringing in innocent podcasters?  WE WATCHED Santa's Got Style (2022) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie (1998) (Ha...

Ho ho ho ho ho ho! It's double Christmas! It's what happens when a year round Christmas podcast actually does episodes in Decemeber. December means traditions and our little podcast is no different. Our longest Christmas podcast tradition is The Baggs Family Christmas where our guests are Sarah's brothers, Julian and Jeremy Baggs.  We've put them through a lot from Fat Albert to Kirk Cameron, so w...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! It's here! The punishment disguised as a podcast! 9 movies/TV specials, 12 hours of Christmas entertainment in one sitting. Others have tried it but precious few survive.  We hope you all have an amazing Christmas and thank you for listening to our show this year. We will probably take a little break before coming back but it'll probably be much shorter than our usual break...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! It's our longest podcasting tradition! Every year for many years we gather the Family Baggs (Jeremy and Julian) to talk about Chirstmas media. This year it's the 2010 flop, The Nutcracker: The Untold Story (formerly The Nutcracker in 3D). Rat Nazis, Nathan Lane as famous babysitter Albert Einstein, and the creepiest Nutcracker committed to film! ----------------------------...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Happy Halloween! OK, OK, OK we're late. But isn't a Halloween in December the scariest thing of all? We watched the off the walls, down to earth, insane sit-com about family matters, Family Matters. And their iconic Halloween episode, Stevil! Double Christmas with some big surprises is coming soon! (In December, I promise!) ---------------------------------------------- Buy...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Well, that was a little break... again. But we're back with an Australian 'classic' show that needs to be seen to be believed, David Tench Tonight, a talk show hosted by a CG character that nobody loved.

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Well, that was a little break... again. But we needed some time to grieve our nation's mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Nah, just kidding we don't care. And you'll hear all about how we don't care in this episode of Deck The Hauls. Watch along with us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQapy3zViB0 ---------------------------------------------- Our other podcast: Greased Enlighteni...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Well, that was a long break... again. Life got in the way but we're back with a 'Deck The Hauls' which is a slightly different format where we watch a Youtube Christmas video (usually Christmas Hauls) and break it down.  Today it's fraud doer Olivia Jade! WATCH WITH US: (LUXURY) WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS 2018 l Olivia Jade - YouTube WE RECOMMEND I'm Glad My Mom Died | Book b...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Well, that was a long break. Almost 5 months have passed since our last episode but you can't keep a good podcast down, people! We're back and this episode we're watching a 1955 episode of Sherlock Holmes, not the most up to date hot property but IT'S ABOUT CHRISTMAS PUDDING! So that's pretty exciting. WATCH WITH US: Sherlock Holmes | The Case of the Christmas Pudding | 195...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Miss us? We're back! It's 2022, the world is still a swirling hell scape but it's all good because honest-to-god animation legend/everyone's dream grandpa, Tad Stones is here! And we're breaking down two Christmas(ish) animation shorts from 1949, Famous Studios' Toys Will Be Toys, and Disney's Toy Tinkers. One features a four minute karaoke sing-a-long and the other, the br...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! 2021 has been somewhat of a garbage year, so what better way to send off the year than with 12 hours of garbage Christmas movies. 12 hours, 8 movies, 6 microsleeps, 4 meal/toilet breaks, 2 podcasters, 1 movie marathon to rule them all. This year's movies: One Magic Christmas (1985) Stuffings (2021) An American Girl Story – Maryellen 1955: Extraordinary Christmas (2016) The...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! It's time for our longest running tradition, A Baggs Family Christmas! Sarah's brothers, Jeremy and Julian, join us to talk about one of IMDB's lowest rated movies of all time, Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. BONUS - we play everyone's favourite 80s sibling game show, I'm Telling. That's why it's a long, long episode. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------- O...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! It's a Christmas tradition as old as time itself, when we invite Anna Cherry and Harry Brimage from The Consumption to watch the worst Christmas special of all time! This is our 5th time and this time we're playing a drinking game - we invite you to join us (Check our socials for the rules).  DO NOT PLAY THE DRINKING GAME!

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Our first guest in almost one whole year! And it's one of our favourites, Weekly Planet's Nick Mason! And while we have pop culture royality like Maso on, let's talk about a pop culture juggernaut, The REAL Ghostbuster.  Come for the banter, stay to hear Sarah play the trombone.

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Lassie is a TV show about a dog staring at his trainer offscreen. It's probably the oldest show we've covered on the show. It's 60 years old which means most of the people who worked on this show are dead now. That's a good thing.

Boo boo boo, Jingle Graves! Prompted by a discussion on our Twitter we are covering Disney Channel tween sitcom, The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody, for our first ever Halloween episode! Is this the scariest thing ever committed to video? No, but it's probably scarier than 'The Monster Mash' and a Skippy parody and that's what scared us as kids! Watch with us: Zack and Cody can be found on Disney Plus...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! Touched By An Angel is not a good show, not good at all. But it is fun to watch, very fun. Calling coffee 'go juice' is very funny to me.  Watch with us: Touched By An Angel: S05E12 - An Angel On The Roof - YouTube Recommendations The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston Big Joel: Bad Film Theories - YouTube --------------------------------------------...

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! OK, OK! We've received your emails, tweets and FB messages - and we get it! Everybody loves the hit children's game show of 1987, 'I'm Telling!'.

Ho ho ho, Jingle Babes! We return to the 90s sitcom mine to see if we strike gold with the OG grumpy doctor - Becker. It has the very best episode title of a Christmas episode we've ever done - Dr Angry Head. But does it live up to its name? *Blues guitar riff* Recommendations WarioWare: Get It Together! - Nintendo Switch Watch LuLaRich - Season 1 | Prime Video ------------------------------------...
