Tinseltown - The Holiday Movie Podcast

An irregular pregnancy, wise men chasing stars, and one jolly bearded man who loves the holiday, Prometheus is truly a Christmas movie for the ages. Or else Montoya and I just wanted to talk about it.

Lara and I are promised a world of magic and enchantment and get a dour family drama starring Sam Elliot. It's Prancer!

Robbie shames himself into watching the live action remake of Year Without a Santa Claus, a movie with a cast that's much better than this, and a director that isn't better than this, but should be.

Our big review comes to a close, as Robbie, Justin, David, and Lara look at the best and worst of the best and worst. Adam Sandler takes a beating, we once again attempt to describe The Box coherently, and Lara is bestowed a title.

Our retrospective continues, with Courtney, Anton, and Tim! Join us as we revisit everything from Trapped in Paradise to The Nutcracker in 3D, as well as multiple Toylands, and the babes therein. Also, listen to me confidently announce that the Why Him episode won't have posted yet, because I'm bat at math!

It's 200 episodes! Leaving out two parters, appearances by the April Fool, Patreon feed drops, state of the canon... It's 200 episodes! And here to review their time on the show are our three appearing-est cohosts, Flonk, Colleen, and Emily! We're going to break down the best and worst we've ever done, as well as covering a few we barely remember!

Justin and the Mayor look at National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, one of a number of wildly uneven movies from a franchise based on one article John Hughes wrote once.

We've been watching The Poseidon Adventure for four hours. It's getting WEIRD.

The whole Emily's Apartment Crew is on board this week, as Emily, Spencer, the Mayor, and Atma the catma review The Poseidon Adventure 2005.

Brian and Anton review "Why Him?", the first Tinseltown movie to feature an A-list actor's pubes. Take that, Remember The Night!

The Mayor and Flonk review Robert Zemeckis's production of "A Christmas Carol", from the very expensive flop factory, Image Movers Digital.

Brian and Courtney review "Christmas With the Kranks", a hateful little piece of garbage. Look, sometimes I don't mince words with these descriptions.

Yes, no point trying to hide it this time. The April Fool is here, and this time, he's putting himself at risk! He never asked to be called a hero.

The war has ended, an inheritance is on the line, and Brian and Colleen are once again embrangled with some real crazy stories, as we review the absolutely wild semi-anthology film "Christmas Eve 1947".

In this episode, recorded months ago, the Mayor discusses Justin's broken bones with the air of a man who's never broken a bone and never will. Oh, hubris. We also discuss Will Ferrell's career, see how Artie Lange is doing, and talk about the worst romance subplot in a Christmas movie... ever?

Tim is here to cover the rare Christmas, Thanksgiving, AND New Year movie, Rocky! The good one!

In our final (hopefully) Broken Arms Special, Brian has made a list of actors he thinks would play a good Santa Claus in a biopic, and this time, Tim is joining him to bounce some ideas around!

This week, still with his broken arms, the mayor goes deep on an analysis of his least favorite question, "is X really a Christmas movie?" In order to answer the question, he has created a six category filing system that should answer everybody's questions and hopefully make them shut up about this forever.

So… I broke both of my arms! Not badly, but I learned last week that the process of typing and uploading was excruciatingly painful. So we're taking a SHORT break. Here's a quick episode with the full explanation of my arms issue, as well as a slightly rambly review of every movie I've watched since smashing up my elbows. That's right, ALL the Three Ninjas movies!

AAl and Amanda from The Death of Podcasts have returned, and this time, we're talking the first ever Downton Abbey Christmas special, which is a Christmas special for about 20 minutes before it gets bored, and then is mostly about which suitor Mary's magic butt will kill next.

Our good great friend Mal is here to talk about the most knittastic Christmas movie Netflix has to offer! It's "A Castle for Christmas", and Scottish people should prrrrrrrrobably ignore its existence!

Chant joins us on this very ad hoc guest month to review "He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special", the most toyetic holiday special to produce no toys.

In  a "crossover" with New and a Bit Alarming, the Mayor and Flonk discuss Little Orphan Annie's Very Animated Christmas. And, having run out of things to discuss with a 20 minute cartoon, go on to just play the recording of us watching it. It's a semi-commentary!

Maggie and Aal from Kids Love Superman stop by to review two Christmas episodes of "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman", a show which is AWESOME.

For a variety of reasons, the Mayor is flying solo this week, so sit back and relax as he takes a leisurely stroll through an unchanged canon. UNCHANGED?! Yes, thanks to two executive decisions and frankly a rough year from the randomizer, there's no need to add or remove anything, so we can just chill! Woo!
