We do review Christmas in Non-Christmas movies. I'm trying to think of a recent example, but I'm drawing a blank - anything popping into your head @Julia_Tis_the_Podcast or @maximos ?
Die Hard IS a Christmas movie, per all three Tis the Podcast elves!
@Julia_Tis_the_Podcast -- can you be snarky about Charlie Brown?
Ok, I love all three of you then for the Die Hard thing!
Todd is great. Honestly, that's been my favorite thing about doing this show the past three years. Not only meeting and becoming friends with Thom and Julia, but also building this whole community of people around the show and establishing real friendships and connections with a whole variety of people all across the country and the world. Todd Killian, for example being one of them. And you'll notice listening to the show consistently, a lot of the same listeners - a lot of the more active listeners on social media - come up a lot. Not just because they comment about our show and our episodes, but because we've truly become friends with so many of them.
Do your prep your review schedule based on the time of year at all? For example, I love Die Hard but its much more of a Christmas in July thing than a December must-see
You're preaching to the choir on the Christmas community thing! We're big believers
One of the things I've noticed is that you're very good on social media -- you get around!
We do! So the real classics, we try to keep for November and December - Charlie Brown, the Grinch, Elf, The Santa Clause, etc. October, we'll do "scary" Christmas movies - like Black Christmas, Rare Exports, etc. Then we'll do themed months. Normally we'll do a TV month, where we each pick a TV show and talk about all of the Christmas episodes they've done - like The Office and Friends; we've done Literary month before, so movies based on books - like Christmas with the Kranks and A Christmas Train, etc.
I can be snarky about anything @Jeff Westover
Wow, Julia. You're up to *here* on my list!
One idea I've been tossing around for a while but we haven't gotten so desperate yet is "Bad sequel month" - where we cover A Christmas Story 2, Christmas Vacation 2, Home Alone 3, Jingle All the Way 2, etc.
I have six daughters. I know snark.
