holiday special

The Advent Calendar House has awoken early from its long winter’s nap to take the Leap Year challenge as prescribed by Dr. Frasier Crane on one unseasonably warm February morning in 1996. On the way we look up the “Frasier” cast’s Christmas connections, explore the world of complicated opera solos and bad Western ballads, and call in to a PBS pledge drive to try and talk to Big Bird.

Have you ever caught yourself wondering if Santa's sleigh has liability insurance? Today, I take a nostalgic trip back to the holiday special "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," examining the quirky Spankenheimer family and Santa's role as the ultimate behavior moderator. With the help of Kokuyasu and Professor Tuck, we peel back the layers of this Christmas classic, sharing personal anecdotes and diving into the complex dance of instilling joy and truth during the holiday season. We explore how varying cultural and economic backgrounds shape the way parents approach the tale of Santa Claus, and whether the man in red should come with a disclaimer.

Grandma's unfortunate reindeer incident leads us to a broader conversation about holiday film traditions and the sometimes-flawed logic that accompanies them. The episode takes a humorous turn as we dissect the outlandish plot points of the movie, from the concept of Santa behind bars to Cousin Mel's nefarious fruitcake scheme. We also reflect on the sentimental value of traditions, drawing parallels between our beloved films and the heartfelt story of "Up," where the true worth of memories often outshines materialistic gain.

To cap off our festive gathering, we ponder the impact of old technology on classic films and animations as they shift into the digital era, noting how nostalgia can tint our view of these cultural artifacts. We discuss the trend of converting songs into movies, musing over the hit-and-miss nature of such endeavors. Concluding with a holiday rating that blends a critical eye with a dose of seasonal cheer, we send warm wishes to all our listeners, encouraging everyone to hold on to that nerdy and frosty spirit. Join us for a celebration of the holiday's most heartwarming—and occasionally head-scratching—moments.

We thank everyone for listening to our podcast! We hope to grow even bigger to make great things happen, such as new equipment for higher-quality podcasts, a merch store & more!

Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas Old Soul Movie Podcast Family! Today we are celebrating two beloved classics from Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment- a team that brought beloved holiday characters to life predominately throughout the 1960s-1980s. These films have been part of American families' celebration of the seasons for decades and we are excited to pay tribute to their legacy! First, we meet a young buck named Rudolph, whose "nonconformity" brings him on a journey from outcast to foggy-weathered hero. Next, we meet Frosty, a lively man made of snow who must get to the North Pole before he melts away! Pull up a cup of hot cocoa and tune into some holiday cheer as we curl up in nostalgia this Christmas <3

🕎 It’s 2003, and a team of Hebrew school basketball players think they’ve found the ghost of Judah Maccabee in a random guy living in a van.

🎄 Previously on the Advent Calendar House, we watched a cavemen take over Santa’s job after he fell off the roof in “A Flintstone Christmas.”  

This time, our reunion tour of previously podcasted-about characters makes its final stop of the season in Bedrock, where Fred Flintstone is letting the lead role of “Ebonezer” Scrooge go to his head, while Wilma is doing the workload of I lost count of how many victims of the highly contagious Bedrock Bug. We also make the strongest case yet that this Modern Stone-Age Family does, indeed, know about who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.
