S1E13: A Muppet Family Christmas (w/ Mike Westfall)

S1E13: A Muppet Family Christmas (w/ Mike Westfall)

 What’s up, dudes?  Mike Westfall from Advent Calendar House and I take a trip to Emily Bear's house to visit the Muppets! That's right! We're talking the 1987 special "A Muppet Family Christmas"! We get into obscure cameos, Sam Eagle's one-liners, and more! 

Kermit and the gang travel to Fozzie's mom's house to surprise her for Christmas. Little do they know that Emily Bear has planned a vacation and has rented her house to Doc and Sprocket as an air BnB. The sheer volume has Doc building bunk beds to accommodate the crowds. Fozzie builds the perfect comedic partner snowman, and the Swedish Chef invites a turkey to stay with them in the hopes of cooking him for dinner. After watching a Muppet Babies home video, Gonzo almost gets into a fight with the lecherous turkey. The Sesame Street crew wassails into the farmhouse, and Kermit and Robin pass it on with the Fraggles. When Piggy is caught in a snowstorm, Doc rides to her rescue! Then the annual carol sing ensues!

A "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" play? Check. An Electric Mayhem performance? Got it. A two-headed monster Santa? Yes, but only if the other monsters pull the sleigh! So grab some shredded wheat and cranberry sauce, watch out for the icy patch, and sing along to this episode all about "A Muppet Family Christmas!"

S1E10: Mega Man (w/ Danny Davila)

S1E10: Mega Man (w/ Danny Davila)

What's up, dudes and dudettes? We've got Totally Rad All-Star Danny Davila here to talk about my Christmas present in 1989, Mega Man! He's the Blue Bomber! He's the Super Fighting Robot! Released on December 17, 1987 for the NES, it's a science fiction side-scrolling action platformer about a robot who must defeat the nefarious Dr. Wily! 

In the year 20XX, Mega Man is a robot originally named Rock, created as a lab assistant by the scientist Dr. Light with his partner Dr. Wily. The treacherous Dr. Wily reprogrammed most of Dr. Light's robots, so Rock volunteered to be converted into a fighting robot. Now ready to defend the world from Wily's violent robotic threats, Rock became Mega Man. As the years progressed, Dr. Wily created his own robotic masters, each designed with a specific weapon system. Utilizing his Mega Buster arm cannon and his ability to copy the special weapons of the boss robots he defeats, Mega Man traversed harsh environments in order to bring Wily's menace to an end. With the help of his creator Dr. Light and his assorted cybernetic companions, Mega Man's eventual goal is to one day achieve everlasting peace for both humans and robots. 

Robotic dog named Rush? Check. Robotic reindeer? Uh huh. Oh, and yes! the infamous "Dr. Wahwee" pronunciation gets mentioned! Enjoy the Hap, Hap, Happiest Christmas memories, and remember to vote on the best worst impression on our social media sites for an extra special chance to win some Mega Man merch!

S1E8: Cabbage Patch Kids (w/ Julia Colburn)

What's up, dudes and dudettes? Let's take a trip to Babyland General Hospital with special guest Julia Colburn from 'Tis the Podcast! We talk BunnyBees, Col. Casey, and all things Cabbage Patch Kids! Did you know there was a Cabbage Patch Christmas special? It's pretty bonkers! Oh yeah! Garbage Pail Kids get a mention too! 

The Cabbage Patch Kids are getting ready for Christmas when Xavier Roberts teaches them about Christmas spirit. Desiring to know more about this peculiar spirit, they venture out of the patch to visit the city. As they escape, they run into Lavendar MacDade and her henchmen Cabbage Jack and Beau Weasel! After escaping via Christmas tree (don't ask), they finally make it to the city! Of course, they immediately run into carbon copies of the MacDade gang named Bertha, Gus, and Fingers. The kids find the city full of Santas, carolers, and toys. After a brief bout with traffic, a childless couple helps them out. The husband drops his wallet, and the kids try unsuccessfully to return it.  After running from the pickpockets again, the kids hide in a random house with a lonely girl. Jenny, a handicapped orphan, was left alone for Christmas, decorating a coat roack. The kids know the couple would adopt her and sneak her out. The pickpockets then spot them and chase them into a park. The pickpockets get the wallet, but the police arrive and save the day! The man and woman are so happy that they not only adopt Jenny, but also take Paula Louise with them too! The rest of the kids go home for Christmas, and the next day the man and woman send them all presents. Yay! Happy ending!

Stork caretaker? Check. Adorable little orphan girl? Yup. Two sets of criminal trios? Definitely! So grab your army helmet, run past the waterfall, and find the Christmas spirit with this episode!
