Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they gather to discuss the 2022 Hallmark Original Movie, "Our Italian Christmas Memories". (You get one guess as to which elf will be hosting this episode based on the title alone.) Slightly more somber for a Hallmark Christmas movie, does the tone work for the elves? And how properly does the film capture the Italian holiday experience?

Well, you'll just have to tune in to find out!

Happy Wednesday, Christmas Fanatics!In honor of Halloween fast approaching, we are back with another Spooky-themed bonus episode - a special Hump Day treat for all of our Patrons - in which our very own Anthony is joined by Gerry Davila of Totally Rad Christmas, Charles Mireles of Just Another Friday Night, and Matt Spaulding of "North Pole Radio" to discuss the 2023 graphic novel, "Cereal", written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Peter Snejbjerg.

A darker, Tim Burton-esque, gothic take on the General Mills Cereal Monsters, and a bunch of other well known and beloved Cereal icons, this is an interesting story that all of the guys loved to various degrees but all of whom agree would make a fantastic Halloween special were it ever to be adapted for TV! Listen as they discuss what worked and what doesn't in this unique spin, and whether it's a worthy Spooky Season read!

So settle back and enjoy this fun episode! As always, thanks for subscribing! And if you're not currently subscribed to Patreon and able to listen to this episode, you can access it for as little as $1.00 per month! But never fear if you choose not to subscribe - because brand new episodes of "Tis the Podcast" will drop in your podcast feeds every Monday, all year long!

Happy Friday, Christmas Fanatics!

We are BACK with another terrifying bonus episode - a special Friday treat for all of our Patrons - in which our very own Anthony and Julia once again sit down to record "Tis the Podcast's" own version of the podcast "Ruined"! This week, they delve into the brand new, highly anticipated, and just released, Christmas-horror movie, "Terrifier 3"!

Listen as Anthony walks Julia through the plot and she tries to guess every twist and turn, which characters will survive, and how it ends. Even if you're not a scary movie fan, this is a really fun episode you'll most definitely want to check out - especially if you listened to our first nine editions of "Tis the Ruined Podcast"! Anyone who's listened to the main show knows that Anthony is a huge fan of this franchise, while Julia is fascinated by it and the character of Art the Clown - even if she has no intention of ever watching any films in the series! And as patrons will know, the original "Terrifier" was the movie that kicked off our little spinoff show. As such, this is a nice little return to form and back to basics for your two Spooky elves!
