Krissy brought up the version of Blue Christmas that is sung by Porky Pig and Emma told us about how, twelve or so years ago, her brother called up Kiss 108 asking them to play it and they’re like “we don’t have that record” and he was heartbroken.
That’s a thing I’m familiar with but haven’t heard in over twenty years.
Also, I recently learned because the guy died that Driving Home For Christmas is not only older than I thought it was, it’s more British than I thought it was. I seriously thought it was from 2005 or so because fetishization of rural white southern culture and American because we’re the ones obsessed with living a hundred miles from anything.
Krissy brought this movie up, featuring the voice talent of Mark Hammill and Nancy Cartwright of all things. Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa. Eesh, this is worse than Dire Straits and their video is from the 80s. I’m genuinely surprised Video Brinquedo isn’t responsible for this atrocity.
Emily had physical copies of Calvin annd Hobbes but ruined them by looking at them in the bath.
Lou was once in a rock version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
On Elf, Sam says no pianist wants someone singing in their ear like that. She’d be on the other side of the piano. Or else.
I called Polar Express “Uncanny Valley: The Movie.” Emily says that the music is good but the animation is terrible because they tried and failed to have it look like the book and they couldn’t do it with the technology at the time. Maybe the animators of The Wild Robot could pull it off.
Kiki once took a bite out of Sam’s birthday cake. Jiji took raw chicken and ran around with it. Julia’s cats would grab things like the skewers for Chinese food. Drake gobbled up half a cheese sandwich that some kid dropped in three bites and he stole a tuna sandwich.
Emily forbids Sam from giving Jiji bunny-shaped toys. So he has a squirrel shaped toy instead.
Sam appreciates the Andor signs from the Boston protest. Geez, that feels like forever ago.
Sam brought up the 1970s Scrooge musical and FUCK YES to that.
burning question: who actually played Mouse Trap instead of just setting up the Rube Goldberg machine and setting it off?
