    You Can Run, But You Can't Hide, Junior! (Home Alone 3)

    You Can Run, But You Can't Hide, Junior! (Home Alone 3)

    Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!Not only is it our final *official* episode of June (keep your eyes on your feeds for a bonus halfway to Christmas, Leon Day episode that'll be dropping tomorrow!), but it's also the final installment of "Bad Sequels" Month here at "Tis the Podcast"!
    The elves (barely) survived the cringe-worthy "Jingle all the Way 2", the disastrous "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure", and the abysmal "A Christmas Story 2". But can they make it through this week's blight on the holiday season with their sanity intact?
    This week, they're tackling the 1997 "masterpiece" (ahem) "Home Alone 3"- the one that dared to defy the sacred formula of the original. No Macaulay Culkin? No Catherine O'Hare? No Christopher Columbus? No John Hughes magic? It's like they *wanted* to make a bad sequel!
    So, will "Home Alone 3" be the coal in the elves' stockings, or can it somehow, miraculously, rise to the challenge and deliver some holiday cheer? Tune in to find out on this hilarious and entertaining episode of "Tis the Podcast"!Thanks for tuning in and be sure to visit http://linktree.com/tisthepodcast to find our Facebook Group and tell us what you thought of this moive!

    Most Guys My Age Wouldn't Admit It, But When It Came To Christmas, I Still Felt Like A Little Kid. (A Christmas Story 2)

    Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! We hope all the dads out there had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday!
    Long before MAX released "A Christmas Story Christmas" back in 2012, there was a direct-to-Home Video sequel to that iconic holiday classic simply called, "A Christmas Story 2"! Naturally, the elves had to cover it as part of "Bad Sequel Month", but is this one *really* as bad as you'd think? They're joined by the always wonderful Matt Eurich of "TGI Podcast" to debate that very question in this fun, festive episode!
    Also discussed this week: exactly when we start getting excited for the Ber months during the hot summer slog; new, upcoming Christmas movies and television specials; what we've all been binging lately; and much, much more!
    This is one episode you want to be sure not to miss! So, settle in and enjoy! We can guarantee you that this is the perfect way to kick off your Monday! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!  ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

    My Dad Works In Nuclear Research. (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure)

    Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!
    Our journey through "Bad Straight-to-Home-Video Christmas Sequels" continues this week with "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure"! We can't even pretend otherwise - this movie is trash and may very well be the worst thing we've covered in over half-a-decade on the show. It was painful to get through. That said, as is often the case with movies none of us liked, the discussion is a lot of fun! 
    So, settle in, relax, and enjoy this latest episode which we promise is the perfect way to kick off your week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

    Boy, Who Pooped in His Hashbrowns? (Jingle All the Way 2)

    Welcome back, Christmas lovers, to another episode of "Tis the Podcast"! This week, the elves procrastinate talking about the movie they're supposed to be discussing for about as long as they can, choosing instead to discuss movies they've recently seen, summer, tattoos, and just about anything and everything else.After a long intro and benig unable to put it off any longer, they dive into the world of awful, straight-to-DVD/streaming Christmas movie sequels with "Jingle All the Way 2"! Larry the Cable Guy stars as a well-meaning but bumbling dad who competes with his daughter's wealthy stepdad to make her holiday wish come true.
    Join us as we discuss the film's plot, characters, and the holiday antics that ensue. Does this sequel live up to the original? Tune in to find out! Plus, we share our thoughts on the latest Christmas movie news and what we're looking forward to this holiday season.
    Don't miss this festive and fun episode of "Tis the Podcast"! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

    I Know It's Hard. We Both Just Have To Be Strong. Just Until It Breaks. (A Creature Was Stirring)

    Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Memorial Day! We hope you're all enjoying your long weekend!
    As today is the last Monday of May - if you can believe that! - today we bring to its conclusion Christmas-Horror month! So gather 'round to listen to the elves discuss the 2023 film, "A Creature Was Stirring". There's no sugarcoating this one. This film was bad, but it made for a heck of a fun discussion as your hosts talk through the confusing plot, which is so convoluted they can't even agree upon what happened!
    Also discussed: Ethan's upcoming high school graduation; the movie "IF"; and much, much more. So, settle back, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

    Holy Crap, You Aren't The Killer! You're Telling The Truth! You Don't Exist! (It's a Wonderful Knife)

    Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!
     


    This week, Kendall Farrae of "Two Girls, One Crypt" joins us for our latest installment of "Christmas Horror Month"! Discussed this week? The 2023 slasher-comedy, "It's a Wonderful Knife"! While the elves loved "There's Something in the Barn" and found "The Mean One" so bad it's good, is there anything redeemable about this week's film or is it a giant dud? Well...you'll just have to listen to find out! But one thing's for sure: bad or not, it's a really fun discussion, especially with one of our favorite recurring guest hosts!
     


    So settle in, relax, and enjoy this festive, laugh-a-minute episode, which we promise is the perfect way to kick off your week! Enjoy and, as always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!
