Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a lovely New Year to everyone! After our Fall/Winter hiatus we are back, and we’re starting with a short episode about the Howard family’s favorite holiday flick: Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas (1977). It is — quite genuinely — the best movie ever made. Watch it, enjoy it, and live your life happier. But also then come back and listen to us talk about it. See you in 2025!

Did you think we were done with the Halloweentownverse? Not at all. We're back again, and this time we've brought along with us a fantastic guest and friend of the show: James Knight! The best part is that James has not only seen this one, but has never seen the first one. Tune in to find out does Kalabar get his revenge? Is cool Benny in the movie? Will Sophie finally get the respect she deserves?? (The answer to all of those questions is no).

BoOOoOoOoOoOOo! It's the spooookiest time of the year. To celebrate, the brothers are diving into TWO Halloweenie trips down memory lane — starting with the DCOM Halloweentown (1998). A classic for many, a mystery for some, and all around great whimsigoth vibes. Shout out to our girl Sophie, a true day one.

In two weeks, our second Halloween special will be coming out and with a mystery guest joining us!

Brotherhood is a big theme of the show, and what's a better way to honor that then watching the racist painfully 90's Scarlett Johansson early work, My Brother The Pig (1999)? Listen in to hear Max embarrassed that this was his pick, and stay till the end for a wholesome reflection on the podcast so far for the brothers.

For the first time, the brothers tackle a limited series! A 4 hour fantasy epic, to be exact. Tune in to hear how Voyage of The Unicorn (2001) sucked out Max's will to live, while Nathan giggles about Beau Bridges.

After watching Barney's Great Adventure (1998), the Howard brothers marvel over the crazy '90s — when the pitch for a Barney movie revolves around an alien koala named Twinkin' The Dream-maker that hatches from a rainbow egg. Gotta love those coked out producers.

The Howard household is a Don Bluth household, and Nathan gives us our first taste of that through Rock-A-Doodle (1991). Nothing like some good, kooky, rockabilly vibes. NO BATTERIES!

Max subjects yet another soul to his obsession with the mentally destructive horrors of Gooby — and it affects Nathan in ways he can't describe. Let 'errrrrr rip!

You can watch Gooby for free on YouTube (in very low quality fair warning), or you can buy the DVD on Amazon like a psychopath.
