Episode 158: Jaws

Posted on July 3, 2024 by Joseph

It’s the 4th of July on this podcast, which means we’re roughly halfway to Christmas! So what better way to celebrate than with the most 4th of July movie of them all: Jaws!

You know Jaws. It’s the granddaddy of all killer shark movies. It’s Steven Spielberg’s first breakout hit. It’s the movie that made summer the season of blockbuster movies. And more than just being historically important, Jaws is just an all-around damn good movie.

Crack open a cold Narragansett and join us as we break down everything that makes this movie tick, why it’s still revered as a classic, and why it’s the ultimate summer movie!

Episode 157: Ronin

Posted on June 19, 2024 by Joseph

Summer is upon us once again, and that means it’s time for a whole bunch of action movies! And in our case, that means action movies that may or may not actually have something to do with Christmas.

On this episode we’re looking at the 1998 Euro-heist flick Ronin! Robert De Niro and Jean Reno speed across France in pursuit of a stolen briefcase, whose contents may or may not be a danger to world peace. Also, it’s Christmas! You didn’t think we’d just watch Ronin for no reason, did you?

Also in this episode: Bradford discusses his recent vacation to Paris, Jonathan brings up Rugrats in Paris for some reason, and we stumble backwards into the best pitch for an Austin Powers movie ever!

Episode 156: El Camino Christmas

Posted on May 7, 2024 by Joseph

Happy May, friends! This week’s episode comes to us via listener request. Life is full of twists and turns that you never expect. For instance, we never expected to be talking about the 2017 Netflix film El Camino Christmas this week, but that’s exactly what we’re gonna do!

El Camino Christmas finds a handful of ne’er-do-well drunks, shady cops and innocent bystanders all holed up in a liquor store on Christmas Eve. Life lessons are learned, secrets unearthed, all that good stuff. Perennial Christmas favorite Tim Allen is here to force everyone to sing Christmas carols at gunpoint, which means this is the one Christmas film that accurately captures the way this podcast feels 90% of the time…

Episode 155: An All Dogs Christmas Carol

Posted on April 17, 2024 by Joseph

On this episode we’re talking about An All Dogs Christmas Carol! It’s the series finale of the All Dogs Go To Heaven animated series, itself a sequel series to Don Bluth’s original All Dogs Go To Heaven. This thing went on a whole lot longer than we would have guessed!

Now guardian angel dogs living in San Francisco, Charlie and Itchy take it upon themselves to pull a “Christmas Carol” on their nemesis, Carface (voiced by Ernest Borgnine!), to show him the error of his ways. There’s also something about a demon dog hatching a plan to steal Christmas presents, but it’s not important.

What IS important is that Joe gets hoodwinked into playing the donation game himself this week, and he does… well, the important thing is he does it.

Episode 154: Daddy’s Home 2

Posted on March 26, 2024 by Joseph

It’s that time again! The gang’s all here as we take a listener request and dedicate this week’s episode to Daddy’s Home 2! Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are all hunky dory as co-step-dads after the original Daddy’s Home, so what better way to test that bond than by bringing in their own dads to help celebrate the holidays?

In this episode, we talk about all manner of weird garbage, the weird logistics of Airbnb, the complicated legacy of “Do They Know It’s Christmas”, wiener hats, the phenomenon of going to the movies on Christmas Day, and a whole lot more!

Episode 153: The Naughty Nine

Posted on March 7, 2024 by Joseph

And we’re back! On this episode, Nikki returns to help Joe and Bradford break down Disney’s most recent holiday offering: The Naughty Nine!

On Christmas morning, Andy discovers Santa did not bring him the video game console he asked for. Realizing he’s been put on the naughty list, Andy enlists the help of seven kids with expert skills (and one adult who’s definitely not Chris Pratt) to fly to the North Pole and steal back the Christmas gifts they rightly deserve. So it’s Ocean’s Eleven but with kids. Cool. Great.

Also in this episode, Joe pitches his own idea for a Christmas kids movie, Bradford explains the distinction between a horse-cop and a cop-horse, and Nikki regrets ever returning to this stupid podcast.

Posted on February 13, 2024 by Joseph

It’s been a few weeks, but we’re finally wrapping up our video game extravaganza! If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet, we highly recommend you give that a listen before diving into part 2. (Link’s in the show notes!)

In this episode, we each discuss our top two games of the year, plus some honorable mentions, and a handful of comments from our very own listeners! See? If you listened to Christmas Creeps, we might put you on the show too. Anywho, now that we’ve finally gotten Video Game Chat out of our systems, we can get back to the business of talking about terrible Christmas movies. Stay tuned for your regularly scheduled Christmas Creeps!

Episode 151: Video Games of 2023 (Part 1)

Posted on January 24, 2024 by Joseph

Happy New Year, Creepazoids! 2024 marks our 10th year of Christmas Creeps, and to celebrate we’re kicking off the year with the show we’ve been wanting to do for a long time: Video Game Chat!

This week we’re taking a break from discussing Christmas to talk about the best video games we’ve played in 2023. They don’t have to be new games, just games we played in the last year.

We realize this episode may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but rest assured our regular programming will resume in February. For now though, please enjoy this ridiculous episode in which we all talk so much about video games that we had to break it up into two parts! (Part 2 coming next week!)

Stocking Stuffer #32: A Very Merry Adult Swim Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2023 by Joseph

Merry Christmas, Creepazoids! The big day is finally here! On this episode, Joe is joined by his fiancée Nikki to share a few of our favorite Adult Swim Christmas episodes.

Nikki brings us “Dethmas”, the Christmas episode of Metalocalypse, in which heavy metal band Dethklok get unwittingly roped into not only taking part in a TV Christmas special, but also into entertaining their mothers for Christmas. It’s brutal.

And after a brief sidebar into how the Sealab 2021 episode “Feast of Alvis” makes absolutely no sense even under the best of circumstances, Joe comes bearing the gift of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and “Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future”, the single greatest episode title in television history.

To all our listeners, thank you so much for making us a part of your podcast rotation. 2023 has been a bit of a rocky year for us here at Christmas Creeps, but we’ve still tried to bring you the most entertaining, ridiculous Christmas media podcast of them all. We couldn’t do this without you. So have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and we’ll see you in 2024!

Episode 150: Coffee Creeps 2

Posted on December 19, 2023 by Joseph

On this week’s podcast, we’re testing out some holiday coffees! Bradford brought us a selection of Nightmare Before Christmas-themed coffees from the good folks at Bones Coffee Company, and we’re going to brew a cup of each one right before your very ears.

So kick back and pour a cup of whatever ya got with Joe and Bradford as we shoot the breeze on this relaxing late-December morning. You’ve worked hard this month, you deserve it!
