The guys are forced to look on as Doug has The Talk with his dad, discover how Doug is somehow more progressive than Ed, Edd & Eddy, and Joe comes to the realization that he’s been celebrating Christmas of 2015 for the past four years.

Episode 69: The Sure Thing (w/ Alonso Duralde)

Posted on August 21, 2018 by Joseph

We’re wrapping up Travel Month this week with a cross-country road trip to California! Film critic Alonso Duralde joins us to discuss the 1985 teen sex comedy The Sure Thing, starring John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga! Duralde is the author of Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, a compendium of holiday cinema goodness, so we trust him when he says Rob Reiner’s sophomore feature is definitely a Christmas movie.

Also, Johnny-5 somehow finds a way to compare this film to The Bourne Identity. So you got that to look forward to!

Finding Creepy Santa, Part 1: The Lost Sequence

Posted on August 13, 2018 by Joseph

Welcome to part one of a new investigative series we’re calling “Finding Creepy Santa”.

Libby Cudmore swears there is a deleted scene from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas which has been lost to the sands of time. It first appeared on the film’s original DVD release and has since apparently been left out of all subsequent editions. She has turned to us to help unearth this lost piece of holiday cinema history. In this episode, Libby and Joe discuss the scene and it’s last known whereabouts.

Episode 68: In Bruges

Posted on August 7, 2018 by Joseph

August is Travel Month here on Christmas Creeps, and this month we’ve got two travel-themed episodes lined up just for you! This week, we’re jetting off to Europe to discuss Martin McDonagh’s 2008 murder comedy In Bruges. Join us as we follow hitmen Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson on a trip to a sleepy little town in Belgium, where we discuss the works of Hieronymus Bosch, consider Post-Tarantino crime films, and read negative Yelp reviews of Belgian bowling alleys!

CONTENT WARNING: Lots of talk about the film and its depiction of violence against minors in this episode. It’s kind of hard to talk about the film without it. Listener discretion is advised.

Stocking Stuffer #12: A Very Sunny Christmas

Posted on July 31, 2018 by Joseph

Season’s Greetings, friends! (The season is summer, and the greeting is “We’re melting, dear lord send help!”)

This week we’re bringing you a double-wide Stocking Stuffer so we can discuss “A Very Sunny Christmas”, the Christmas episode from season 6 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia! We got your Radio Shack robots, claymation raisins, and more depraved insanity than you can shake a stick at! It’s terrible and gross, but kind of lovely all the same.

Episode 67: A Wish For Wings That Work

Posted on July 17, 2018 by Joseph

Happy July, gang! The only thing that can save us from that oppressive summer heat is the frosty air way up in the jet stream. But as we all know, penguins can’t fly, and neither can your favorite holiday podcasters. This week Joe and Bradford tackle the 1991 Opus & Bill Christmas special A Wish For Wings That Work. And to help us discuss this holiday oddity, we’ve enlisted comic strip connoisseur and host of the Andy Griffith Show podcast Breaking Mayberry, Martin Schneider!

Episode 66: Jingle All The Way

Posted on June 26, 2018 by Joseph

Arnold’s after that toy again! We’re halfway to Christmas, folks, and this week we’re pulling out one of the big guns. It’s Jingle All The Way! Arnold Schwarzenegger races Sinbad around Minneapolis for the last Turbo Man toy in the city. Meanwhile, the gang reminisce about some of the hottest must-have toys of yesteryear, how grimy cities look after a month of holiday celebration, and how this movie is ground zero for our modern consumerist hellscape.

NB: Movie chat begins at 23:05.

Episode 65: Jurassic World

Posted on June 12, 2018 by Joseph

Believe it or not, we have a perfectly valid reason for discussing Jurassic World this week, and it’s not just to piggyback on the arrival of the sequel! Anywho, on this episode the whole gang gets in on the action, picking apart the many questions this film raises and never bothers answering. For example: Why breed thousands of pterodactyls? Why genetically engineer a dinosaur with tree frog DNA if you aren’t going to have it shoot giant poison darts? And finally, why rebuild Jurassic Park in the first place?

Also in this week’s episode, Joe ponders the fate of one Mr. James Buffett, Johnny-5 subjects himself to the pop rocks and coke challenge, and Karyn and Bradford try their hardest to keep it together.

Stocking Stuffer #11: Rugrats – “The Santa Experience”

Posted on May 22, 2018 by Joseph

Remember how we said all Stocking Stuffers from now on would be Somewhat Safe For Work? Weellllllll, about that…

Look, we recorded this episode two days before LAST Christmas and none of us were in our right minds. That’s why we started talking about “The Santa Experience”, from the second season of Rugrats, and wound up talking entirely too much about Disney’s revival of Doug and whether or not it featured an episode about Sex Ed. That was just where we were at as people last Christmas.
