What’s up, dudes? It’s another bonkers He-Man Christmas tale from the UK comics! This time I’ve got Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast with me to break down the power of Grayskull!

Hordak has cast a spell that freezes men’s hearts, cutting out all hope. Desperate to lift this ice-fear, He-Man and the heroic warriors battle the evil Horde. Unfortunately, the villains escape through a portal leaving Eternia to the desolation.  In a last ditch effort to bring hope to his people, He-Man concocts a plan with Man-At-Arms to deliver presents to all children. The fruits of his labor are seen through the eyes of woodcutter Nik-Las and his daughter Mouse. The sudden appearance of the doll gave Nik-Las hope and Mouse the courage to speak after many silent years. The ice-fear was banished from the realm!

Cage of ice spears? Check. He-Man holding a basketball? Yep. Father Kis-Mus? Well…they tried, didn’t they? So grab the Sword of Power, fill a sack with toys, and stave off the evil Horde with this episode about He-Man Christmas!

What’s up, dudes? Tim Babb from Can’t Wait for Christmas joins me to dive into the bonkers special “Andy Williams & the NBC Kids Search for Santa!”

Andy Williams is on a mission to restore his family's honor. Years ago his ancestor used to help Santa with his mail until one day he abandoned his mission out of frustration. Andy convinced  several NBC kid stars from The Cosby Show, Silver Spoons, and more to join him. You see, if 12 true believers accompany him to Santa's, there's a chance Santa will forgive his bloodline. Dark!

After searching for clues at political assemblies, museums, and churches, he finally finds the mailman that delivers to the North Pole. Of course, there's also a detour at a dinner where the NBC kids show the Finnish how 'Muricans sing and dance at Christmas. Eventually, they make their way through Lapland to the North Pole, where Andy forces the kids to freeze outside while he gets to be warm and cozy with Santa.

Is there kidnapping? Sort of. Is there a funky “Jingle Bells?” Definitely! Does Santa explode? Absolutely! So grab your snow shoes, search for clues, and follow Santa’s mailman to this episode on Andy Williams & the NBC Kids Search for Santa!”

What’s up, dudes? It’s the toy company that practically owned Christmas morning in the mid-80s! Yes, it’s Mattel — the plastic powerhouse behind Barbie, He-Man, Hot Wheels, and enough colorful cardboard packaging to completely bury your living room floor! Today we’re talking the 1984 Mattel Christmas Wish List!

Mattel goes all the way back to 1945, when Harold “Matt” Matson and Elliot Handler started a small company making picture frames. Eventually they pivoted from household goods to toys, and by the time the 1980s rolled around, Mattel had become an absolute giant in the toy industry. Barbie ruled the fashion aisle, Hot Wheels dominated the race track, and Masters of the Universe transformed action figures into a fantasy phenomenon.

This Wish List provides a huge variety of toys. From Barbie Dream Houses to Snake Mountain, there’s something for everyone. Crystal Barbie shimmered like Christmas tree tinsel, and Rainbow Brite practically turned the entire catalog into a neon explosion of color. Of course, Castle Grayskull towered over all of them!

Secret Wars Tower of Doom? Check. Hot Wheels Crack-Ups? Rad! Poochie stationery and stamps? Absolutely! So grab your Battle Cat, fire up your Attak Trak, and circle your favorites in this 1984 Mattel Christmas Wish List!

What’s up, dudes? We had a blast covering the last few movies, so we’re continuing our live commentary series! This time we’re breaking into TV Specials, and we had to start with  the Rankin Bass classic that launched it all: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas podcast, Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa, and I have a blast with this watch along! 

The story chronicles the experiences of Rudolph, a youthful reindeer buck who possesses an unusual luminous red nose. Mocked and excluded by his peers because of this trait, Rudolph proves himself one Christmas Eve with poor visibility due to inclement weather. After Santa Claus catches sight of Rudolph's nose and asks Rudolph to lead his sleigh for the evening, Rudolph agrees and is finally favored by his fellow reindeer for his heroism and accomplishment.

Grumpy Santa? Check. Complete tooth extraction? Yep. Flying lion creature? Maybe he's from an alternate dimension! So grab your pickaxe and float down to this episode on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

What's up, dudes?  So you want to be a cop? All you do is join the farce. Laramy Wells from Moving Panels and Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax have signed up to join the "Police Academy!"

After thwarting the Santa Claus burglar--so called because he breaks in through the chimney--the Police Academy squad run into a little orphan girl named Ginny.  She asks Carey Mahoney and his gang to help her friends believe in Santa Claus since the orphans never get any presents. Simultaneously, there's a robbery at I. Gottem's department store. Ginny even gets a look at the thieves.

Mahoney and Jones decide to dress up as Santa for the kids not realizing their team also decides to dress up. Unfortunately, they're called to guard the department store. While the orphans are at the store, they're framed for the theft of diamonds. The cadets prove their innocence and catch the actual thieves.

 Jones sound effects? Got 'em. Tackleberry extreme firearms? Yep, a bazooka. Reindogs? Well, only as Commandant Lassard can provide! So grab your Santa suit, hide inside a snowman, and arrest this episode on Police Academy "Santa with a Badge!"

What's up, dudes? The Saturday Morning Mafia breaks down the Knight Rider Christmas episode "Silent Knight" with me! It's all about the Hoff and K.I.T.T. in one of the coolest shows of the decade!

While shopping for a Christmas tuxedo for the Foundation banquet, Michael and KITT meet Tino, a young gypsy who has pickpocketed a valuable watch from bank robbers. These robbers, disguised as clowns and Santa Claus, need the watch back to destroy evidence of their crime. Michael promises Tino's sister Marta that he will keep the boy safe and deliver him to their uncle, Stephano, the king of the gypsies. The bank robbers, however, are on their trail, fearing identification.

Unfortunately, the uncle isn't the savior Tino was hoping for, and he sells him out to the robbers. After thrilling car chases, Michael and K.I.T.T. track them to a field, where luckily K.I.T.T. is able to stop a thresher from harming them. The robbers are apprehended and the day is saved! Merry Christmas!

Whoa! Michael Knight had a whole backstory? K.I.T.T. could do what?!? How many times do they say the word 'gypsy'? Hmmm.... So grab your leather jacket, hop in your AI car, and turbo boost into this episode on Knight Rider "Silent Knight!"

What's up, dudes? Andy Williams is back, and he’s chaperoning the NBC kids in Europe once again! Mike Westfall of Advent Calendar House and Tim Babb from Can’t Wait for Christmas are with me to talk “Andy Williams and the NBC Kids Easter in Rome!”

Apparently, Andy Williams wanted to spend spring in Europe, so he gathered his friends from NBC and met them in Rome. They take a horse drawn carriage, sing a song, then go their separate ways. Tina Yothers hunts for guys at an ice cream disco. Kim Fields goes shopping for pink blazers. Danny Ponce looks at sports cars, and the Lawrences search for food. 

Eventually, they meet up and absorb some Roman culture through archaeology and a famous ristorante. Andy surprises them with the gifts they wanted, and takes them to meet Pope St. John Paul II. Joey gives him a friendship bracelet, then they all go to Easter service and sing another song.

Aqueducts? Check. Papal audience? Got it. Chili dogs? None better than Roman! So grab your  flash cards, learn Italian, and sing along with “Andy Williams and the NBC Kids Easter in Rome!”

What’s up, dudes? Well, it seems that Little #1, Little #2, and Little #3 hijacked my recording studio and held their own episode all about the 1976 Rankin Bass Easter special "The First Easter Rabbit!" It's an adaptation of the children's book "The Velveteen Rabbit," and it's wild!

A young girl named Glinda gets a stuffed bunny for Christmas which she names Stuffy. She loves it unconditionally, but when she contracts scarlet fever, it has to be burned. Stuffy is approached by a magical sprite named Calliope, who transforms him into a real rabbit. She mandates that he become the first Easter Bunny.

Stuffy meets Santa Claus and moves into Easter Valley, an area of the North Pole perpetually existing in Spring. Unfortunately, an ice wizard (perhaps a former servant of Winterbolt?) named Zero steals the Golden Easter Lily, causing the valley to freeze and snow. Santa rescues Stuffy and helps him deliver his Easter goods to Glinda's hometown. He also forces Zero to return the Lily. All's well that ends well.

A fairy that knows substitutiary locomotion? Check. A Savage Land type headquarters? Got it. A remorseful sentient snowball? For sure! So grab your Easter eggs, put on your bonnet, and take Santa's sleigh to this episode!

What’s up, dudes? It was the miniseries that examined fascism through a 1980s American lens…with sci-fi! Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox and I talk the Christmas episode from V  “Reflections in Terror!”

In this 9th episode from the 1984 series, Diana sends a mistletoe sales lady to collect the starchild Elizabeth’s blood. With it, she’s able to clone the starchild at Christmastide. Unfortunately, the clone is feral and kills just about everything. 

Meanwhile, Donovan, Ham, and Farber work with a church to smuggle orphans into the free city of LA to get them to foster parents. Consequently, the action draws Visitor suspicion, and the Resistance has to use force to succeed. While all this is occurring, Bates discovers that Julie is a mole and has the restaurant headquarters attacked. Luckily, everyone escapes, the clone dis in Elizabeth’s arms, the tracker is killed, and Ham plays Santa!

Clones? Check. Santas? Both Willie and Ham. Casablanca ripoffs? Only if it’s between Julie and a Visitor playing piano!  So grab your guns, hide out in a church, and fight reptilian aliens to this episode on V “Reflections in Terror!”
