What’s up, dudes? It’s the A-Team: four Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn't commit who help the innocent while on the run from the military. I’ve got Laramy Wells from Moving Panels and Joe Fulton the Christmas Aficionado with me to talk all about the Thanksgiving episode “Family Reunion!”

On Thanksgiving, General Stockwell orders the A-Team to reunite a wanted criminal, A.J. Bancroft, with his daughter Ellen within 24 hours. In return, Bancroft will provide evidence that could bring down half the crooked politicians in Washington. Bancroft, who is terminally ill, has not seen his daughter in twenty years. However, Ellen knows all about his misdeeds from reading the papers. The old man has another reason to hire the A-Team specifically: he tells Murdock that Templeton Peck was born Richard Bancroft, his son. Bancroft’s former associates in crime don’t want their involvement to go public, so they send goons after Bancroft and his daughter. Can the A-Team intercept them and reunite the estranged family? Of course! That’s why they’re the A-Team! Unfortunately, not before Bancroft dies and misses the chance to tell Face that he’s his dad as well. Family, right?!

Explosions? Check. Tricking out the van? Got it. Family drama and character study? Definitely more than usual for this show! So grab your journal full of secrets, explode some fire extinguishers, and race into this Thanksgiving episode of the A-Team!

What’s up, dudes? It’s the 40th anniversary of Santa Claus: The Movie! Pax Holley from Cult Film Club, Crestwood House, and I Read Movies is with me to talk all about the novelization!  

Santa Claus: The Movie was released in 1985, and it chronicled the origin of the Jill old elf himself. Eventually, it transitions into anDudley Moore vehicle as his elf character Patch takes center stage. Patch feels unappreciated and sets out into the world to prove himself. 

The novelization fills some plot points the movie left out due to time constraints. For example, the elves used to deliver the gifts themselves, but stopped as it grew harder. Also, in preparation for the big flight, they built a simulator for Santa. The novelization even explains why Santa has to go down chimneys due to modern man’s lack of trust in one another. Oh, and Patch returns to the Pole and shares Santa’s assistant duties with Puffy.

Sleigh flight simulator? Check. Confirmation of Cornelia’s adoption? For sure. Kids writing letters to Santa apologizing for their lack of faith? Definitely! So grab your stardust, eat some magic candy canes, and fly into this episode on the novelization of Santa Claus: The Movie!

What’s up, dudes? There’s nothing like a Christmas jazz house song to kick off a party. I’ve got Steve Beech of Uplifting House Sessions with me to dive into the opening track of Winter Warnerland! Yes, we’re talking Jeff Lorber “God Rest the House!”

Jeff Lorber is an American keyboardist and composer specializing in jazz and fusion. After attending the Berklee College of Music, he played with Michael Brecker and John Scofield. Eventually he started Jeff Lorber Fusion and released his first album in 1977. He frequently played on Rhodes, Minimoog, and Prophet 5 keyboards. He subsequently went solo and had several singles on Billboard Dance charts.

As the Winter Warnerland liner notes state:

“He's the guy who first brought you Karen White with their smash hit, The Facts of Love. Kenny G, his former sax player and right now is one of the hottest session cats out there. You can hear his magic touch on current hits from U2, Pebbles, New Edition, Giant Steps, New Shoes, The California Raisins, Sheena Easton and Jeffrey Osborne. Those are just the ones he's played on this month. And you know he's saving up the good stuff for his next WB LP due sometime in 89. Even though he's a busy guy, he managed to crank out a hot house mix version of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen for us. Turn it up!”

Driving bass line? Check. Syncopated version of the melody? Got it. Minor pentatonics, blues scale embellishments, and occasional chromatic triplets? Definitely! So grab your Yamaha GS-1, and jam out to this episode on Jeff Lorber “God Rest the House!”

What’s up, dudes? Joe Martinez from Now Watch This and Sean Sotka from the Christmas Podcasts Podcast are with me to talk Airwolf “Half-Pint!” Yes, it’s all about Hawke, Santini, and Archangel, but most importantly The Lady!

Archangel tells Stringfellow Hawke they have credible intel on Saint John’s son Le Van. String checks it out, and meets the boy’s foster father McBride. McBride actually knew Saint John in ‘Nam, working on covert special ops assignments together. He confirms Saint John’s death.

As String and Le Van bond, McBride and an enlisted drug dealer plot to smuggle drugs into the country via Saint John’s casket. Of course, Archangel suspects tomfoolery, but Hawke is glad to finally have answers. Eventually, String and Santini investigate the casket and find drugs inside. Hawke buries it to lure the villains out, and uses Airwolf to capture them.

Drug smuggling plot? Yep. Airwolf shenanigans? A few. Child gambling and martial arts? Definitely! So grab your sunglasses, hop in The Lady, and fly around to this episode on Airwolf “Half-Pint!”

What’s up, dudes? When people talk about the classics of Thanksgiving television, they always talk about the WKRP in Cincinatti's "Turkeys Away" episode! My bud Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax joins me to gab--or is it gobble?--about this classic turkey drop! 

The station is running so smoothly that Carlson is feeling useless and left out. He pries into everyone else's projects, angering and annoying them in the process. Consequently, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He clandestinely plans a secret Thanksgiving Day publicity stunt. During disc jockey Johnny Fever's segment, on-the-scene reporter Les Nessman gives live commentary of the spectacle. Actually, debacle is the correct term, because the stunt involved Carlson and Herb throwing live turkeys into the unsuspecting crowd from a helicopter. People run from the turkey bombs just as Johnny cuts the feed. Finally, Carlson, Herb, and Les return to the station and detail the horrific affair.

Based on a true story, this episode has comedy in spades! Drug references? Yep. Absurd ideas from incompetent bosses? Check. Turkeys hitting the pavement like sacks of wet cement? Definitely! So grab your microphone, hop in your chopper, and fly off into this episode about the classic WKRP Turkey Drop!

What’s up, dudes? I've got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to dig into Charles Schulz’s Peanuts. That’s right! It’s the classic “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!” Will he ever kick the football?

Charlie Brown gets a phone call from Peppermint Patty, who invites herself, Marcie and Franklin  to  Chuck's house for dinner. As it turns out, he is not having dinner and can’t  cook anything. Consequently, Linus suggests that they prepare a meal for their friends before they go to grandma’s, and recruits Snoopy and Woodstock to help. The gang then prepare a feast of toast, popcorn, pretzel sticks, jelly beans, and sundaes.

After the guests arrive, Linus leads the group in prayer  before Snoopy serves the meal. Peppermint Patty, who expected turkey and other traditional Thanksgiving food, angrily yells at Charlie Brown, who leaves the table dejected. Marcie berates her and apologize to Chuck for her. Realizing that he and Sally are late for the Brown family dinner, Charlie Brown explains the situation over the phone to his grandmother, who invites all his friends to come along for dinner.

Pilgrim dog? Check. Clueless imposing friend? Yep. Cannibalistic bird? Only Woodstock! So grab your popcorn, make some toast, and  enjoy Thanksgiving with your friends to this episode on “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!”

What’s up, dudes? Mike Westfall of Advent Calendar House and Tim Babb from Can’t Wait for Christmas are with me to talk all about the genius that is Al Yankovic! Even Caleb Cote from Insert Reference Here pops in to dive into Weird Al “Christmas at Ground Zero!”

The song is a throwback to the Phil Spector “wall of sound” era, full of bari sax and keyboard layers. Of course, in Al fashion, he copies the style to perfection. Harmonically, it’s a simple I-vi-ii-V chord progression reminiscent of the 1960s.

Lyrically, the song is awash in Cold War nuclear disaster tropes. Yankovic's label, Scotti Brothers Records, insisted that he record a Christmas album. However, after Yankovic presented the song to his label, they relented, because it was "a little different from what they were expecting." After the song was written and recorded, Yankovic wanted to release the song as a commercial single, but Scotti Bros. refused. Eventually, Scotti Bros. released the song as a promotional single and then commercially.

Sleigh bells ringing? Check. Trimming the tree? Uh huh. Atom bombs dropping? Only if it creates new mutants! So load your gun and suck and cover to this episode on Weird Al “Christmas at Ground Zero!”

What’s up, dudes? Remember looking in your stocking and finding a cool coloring book of your favorite characters? Charlie Ague from Closer to Christmas and Ague Designs and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps  are here with me to break them down! Luckily, there’s a great website Retro Reprintswith hundreds of coloring and activity books to help with our quest. 

We look through several books by Random House and Golden published in the ‘80s. For example, the Snorks, or as some remember them, underwater Smurfs, engage in holiday activities throughout each page of their book. The Shirt Tales frolic and play amid the yuletide festivities in their own book as well. Spider-Man and the Muppets join the fun in their respective books.

As we dig into each book, we examine which pages are easiest to color. We also look at the level of detail poured into the Muppet Babies book, and occasionally how certain pages are boring. Some pages are devoid of characters and feature would-be Christmas presents. Yay!

Wuzzles? Check. Ewoks? Got ‘em. Twinkles the elf? Twinkles the elf?!?! So grab your box of 64 crayons, sharpen your colored pencils, and doodle along to this episode on ‘80s Christmas coloring books!

What's up, dudes? Merry Christmas Podcast Day! Don’t touch that dial! Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas,   Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas are here to talk SCTV “It’s a Wonderful Film!” It’s a wonderful amalgam of pastiche and homage of classic Christmas movies, and it’s fantastic!

Producer Marty Simmons is making a Christmas movie by classic film director Frank Bailey. Unfortunately, he decides that profit is more important than a making a quality movie. Marty fires Bailey and hires a teen sex comedy director in his place. As Marty drives home, he sees a vision of Bailey and crashes.

Marty heads to nearby town Krebbsville for help, running into a church. He sees a Bing Crosby-esque Priest rehearsing a choir. Suddenly, a Clarence-like Bailey appears, and the duo head to 34th Street. They observe a mom frantic and desperate from Krebbs’s cruelty.

Then Bailey’s apparition takes him to a theater where they’re transported into 19th century London. Finally, Simmons observes a raucous funeral procession for Krebbs, but sees himself in the coffin! Simmons amends his ways and ends happily!

It’s a Wonderful Life? Check. Miracle on 34th Street? Got it. Going My Way? Uh huh. A Christmas Carol? Only if it’s onscreen at a movie theater! So grab your towel and run around the tree to this episode on SCTV “It’s a Wonderful Film!”

What’s up, dudes? Jim Carrey’s not wearing a costume! Joe Martinez from Now Watch This and Tim Williams from 80’s Flick Flashback are with me to talk “Once Bitten!”

In this 1985 flick, Mark tries to score with his girlfriend Robin, who just isn’t ready yet. Frustrated, he goes to a bar and meets the Countess, a 400 year old vampire. Of course, she needs to drink the blood of a virgin three times before Halloween to retain her youth. Consequently, she bites Mark.

As he becomes a vampire, Robin and his friends sense his changing behavior. It then becomes a battle for Mark between Robin and the Countess, culminating at the school dance. Eventually, Robin is kidnapped, and Mark goes to save her, escaping the vampires. To free him the curse, the couple go all the way and the Countess is aged.

Bad DeNiro impression? Yep. Dated shower scene? For sure. Dance off to Maria Vidal? Heck yeah, and it’s awesome! So put on your shades, dress in black, and lose your reflection to this episode on “Once Bitten!”

What’s up, dudes? Little #1 herself, Cecilia, and Art Kilmer from A Cozy Christmas join me to talk about the cat who hates Mondays: Garfield! That’s right! It’s “Garfield’s Halloween Adventure!”

Garfield wakes up to discover that it’s Halloween! Hearing about candy, he decides to go trick or treating. After scaring Jon, he drags Odie upstairs to try on some costumes. Ultimately, the duo decide on pirate costumes.

As the night passes, they fill their bags with candy until they run out of houses. Spotting more across a river, the duo traverse and find a dilapidated mansion. The old resident then tells them about some ghost pirates. Of course, the pirates emerge and chase Garfield and Odie. Barely escaping, the return home and the former shares his candy with the latter.

Binky the Clown? Check. Withered old cabin boy? Yep, over a hindered years old! Ghost pirates? Only if they’re scarier than “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!” So grab your peg leg, out on your eye patch. And trick or treat to this episode on “Garfield’s Halloween Adventure!”

What’s up, dudes? They’re a legendary metal band whose songs were played all the time on MTV. Yes, we’re talking Stryper! I’ve got the incredible Michael Sweet with me to talk about their 1984 singles “Reason for the Season” and “Winter Wonderland!” We also dive into their new album The Greatest Gift of All available this year in November.

The boys lay down an eighth note riff in “Reason for the Season,” and modulate for the chorus. The song is full of their dual lead guitar, harmonized in 3rds for texture and interest. After coming to a rocked out climax, it ends with harmonics and acoustic and clean tone electrics. The tight vocal pads give an ethereal feeling contrasting with the previous heavy straightforward rock vibe.

Released in December ‘84, the single had a Stryperized version of the classic “Winter Wonderland” as a B-side. This time the band gave the song a swing eighth-triplet riff. After some introductory dialogue, they launch into it, and segue nicely into a triplet dual lead solo. Uniquely, a turnaround transitions to an Elvis inspired bluesy half time rendition of the chorus.

And now, this year the band has a new Christmas album! Stryper The Greatest Gift of All is full of classics and original tunes. From a lush and calming “Silent Night” to an uptempo “Joy to the World,” it has it all. The album even ends with re-recordings of their two ‘80s singles, updating them sonically and ending with a bang!

Guitar? Check. Soaring vocals? Yep. Full on Stryper vibes? Definitely! So grab your axe, put on your Christmas pajamas, and rock out to this episode on Stryper The Greatest Gift of All!

What’s up, dudes? It’s the most low budget Christmas slasher  ever, and I’ve got Jeff and Jay from Horror for the Holidays with me to talk about it! Yes, we’re diving into 1983’s “Blood Beat!” 

Cathy sees visions. She paints what sees in a cabin in rural Wisconsin with her boyfriend Gary. When her son Ted brings his new girlfriend Sarah home for Christmas, strange things begin to happen. Of course, Cathy tells her son she’s seen Sarah before in her psychic visions.

Meanwhile, a glowing blue samurai ghost begins attacking and killing people. The victims include the neighbors, Uncle Pete, and a couple of hunters camping in the woods. It turns out that Sarah is the reincarnation of Cathy’s sister and an old samurai warrior… or something like that. As Sarah becomes the ghost, Ted and his sister Dolly develop their own latent psychic powers to battle the blade-wielding specter!

Was there a script? Kinda. Were there actors? Not really. Were there drugs? Definitely! So don your samurai armor, play monopoly with your sibling, and listen to this episode on “Blood Beat!”

What’s up, dudes? It’s ‘80s Swedish metal, and it’s rad! Duane Bailey from Tinsel Tunes and Matt Wheeler from Resurrection Metal Radio join me to talk 220 Volt “Heavy Christmas!”

The song is almost thrash metal in delivery, with 16th note riffs alternate picked. Some syncopation adds interest to the main riff. In fact, F# minor pentatonic is embellished with chromaticism to add even more flare to the riff. Then, during the pre-chorus, a descending sixteenth line leads into the vocals, guitars doubling the vox to give it a huge sound.

Further, the band re-recorded the song and updated it musically. For example, they added sleighbells to the intro, and quoted some Christmas carols before heading into full on thrash. Also, the guitar solo is more traditional shredding rather than sound effects. 

Palm muting? Yep. Power chords? Uh huh. Heaviness? Definitely! So grab your axe, turn up the amps, and rock out to this episode on 220 Volt “Heavy Christmas!”

What’s up, dudes? Knock, knock, knockin' for a sweet surprise. It's a trick or treat! Chad Young from Horror Movie BBQ and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps join me to talk the 1986 horror film “Trick or Treat!” 

Mega heavy metal rocker Sammi Curr died in a fire. His local DJ friend Nuke gifts Sammi’s biggest fan, outcast Eddie “Ragman” Weinbauer, an unreleased final album. Of course, per Sammi’s will, Nuke will play it on Halloween night. As Eddie’s bullying increases, he decides to play Sammi’s album backwards and release his vengeful spirit.

Consequently, Sammi begins to torture and maim Eddie’s bullies. Unfortunately, Eddie develops second thoughts about the entire venture, and tries to end his deal with the ghost. After thrilling chases and threats upon love interest Leslie’s life, Eddie vanquishes Sammi with water. Of course, Sammi first plays a killer show at the Halloween Dance and vaporizes a bunch of people. It is a horror after all.

What’s up, dudes? It was a special based on a seminal album of the ‘80s holiday seasons! Yes, Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu are with me to talk “A Very Special Christmas Party." Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, and more celebrate with Olympians.

Unfortunately, the beginning is cut off, so it's unclear how the special started. Arnold and some Olympians discuss his singing, and  Barbara Mandrell recounts playing soccer, talking to a 50m freestyle swimming gold medalist. Next, DeVito and Arnold work out with some athletes. Randy Travis then tells us he thinks of food at Christmastide and sings "Winter Wonderland."

Immediately following that, Susan Saint James tells us of Mark Arrowood kindness, and Mike Tyson talks basketball. Scott Hamilton and an Olympian ice skate together, and we see the entire group in church for a special reading by JFK, Jr. Finally, at dinner, everyone goes around the table lighting a candle representing their Christmas wish. Oh, and Santa shows up!

"Silent Night?" Check. "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town?" Got it. Actual songs from the album? Nope. Not really. So grab your sweater, light a candle, and make wish to this episode on  “A Very Special Christmas Party!"
