Probably the best nostalgic Christmas movie ever! It took being an adult for us to recognize the magic as seen through the eyes of young Ralphie. The film showcases vignettes now classic in our minds: sticking your tongue to the frozen flagpole, fantasizing about just how to get your favorite Christmas present, and of course, getting your mouth washed out with soap!
Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!
Today we did Tim Tam Slams.

We are both Christians who enjoy celebrating every aspect of Christmas, but we're also Ravenclaws who enjoy learning where many of these traditions came from.
Our research included learning about Roman festivities for Saturnalia, Norse customs during Yule, a brief history of Saint Nicholas, the Dutch Sinterklaas, what Dickens brought to the table, Washington Irving, and even Coca-Cola, all blended together to form our modern Christmas time!
Today, we drank IBC Root Beer Floats.

Okay, take a shot every time we use the word “adorable”! 🤪
This week we discuss one of our all-time favorite romantic comedies, perfect for the Holiday season with all its funny quotes, touching score, and relatable family goofiness.
Today we mixed A&W root beer with Southern Comfort brand eggnog. (Non-alcoholic of course…. because the idea of us podcasting while drunk is a scary thought!)

Naaagghhh! Aarngghhh Rnghh’Nghhhh!
……. Yeah, you said it, Chewie!
To kick off this year's Geek-mas, I made us rewatch The Star Wars Holiday Special in all its underground bootleg glory! Come meet Chewbacca's family, see Boba Fett's first appearance, and hear Bea Arthur and Carrie Fisher sing! The best thing that can be said is that we never have to watch it again.
Today's root beer float was made with Barq's.

He has been heralded for pushing the envelope of cinematic technology for almost 40 years, most of his films have been box office smashes, and his new film “Here” resonated with our nostalgic hearts!

The game has been called “a model of decorum and tranquility”, and “religion plus finesse”, both quotes from Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Bjorn Ulvaeus’ musical “Chess”.
So we talk about both.
From the opening moves in Merano, Italy, to the Endgame in Bangkok, we find the game and the musical both mysterious and intriguing.
Today's root beer is Hosmer Mountain.

This week, we read the novel by Robert Bloch and then rewatched the timeless classic horror film, chocolate syrup and all!
From the nail biting suspense of Miss Crane's flight with the stolen money, to Norman's assurance that “a boy's best friend is his mother”, the film transcends the horror genre as practically a perfect picture.
Today's root beer is Route 66.

At one point during the recording of this episode, we said that someone could do well by opening a Halloween store that exclusively sells costumes of characters portrayed by Johnny Depp. What more can I say? That is why we geek out about the guy!
Today's root beer is a second sampling of Strap Tank.

The concept album from My Chemical Romance tells the story of “The Patient”, and his journey through the Afterlife. This album was of that really spoke to many of a certain generation, with its plethora of intriguing lines, direct and metaphorical imagery, and powerful musical mastery. “If life's not a joke, then why are we laughing?”
Today's root beer is Tower.

Once again, we record most of our episode live at Utah's own comic convention, FanX. we recap the panels, the celebs, the cosplay, purchases, and just sheer, overwhelming fun that it is to attend this con!
Also, once again, we drink several pints (IT COMES IN PINTS?!?) of a variety of Wild Bill’s soda, their root beer dominate among them.

(Wrong audio originally posted, re-posting with correct audio)
Sometimes, the weather and the mood just need that ambient accent of Folk-Celtic Fusion-Medieval-Rock music, ya know? Autumn just feels like the right time for Loreena McKennitt, Blackmore's Night, Lord of the Dance, and many of the other music styles we talk about in this week's episode.Today's root beer is Filbert's.

The third novella by Stephen King from the Different Seasons collection is arguably the go-to for nostalgia in film. Following the four perfectly cast boys as they follow the train tracks towards the end of summer, childhood, and the body of a fellow youth, we can remember our own experiences coming of age.
We also pay tribute to the iconic James Earl Jones who recently passed away at the age of 93.
Today's root beer is Boots sarsaparilla root beer.

One of the great comedic duos of the modern age made us laugh with racial situations, ridiculous reactions to mundanity, and other kinds of social commentary seen through the eyes of laughter.
If you haven't ever seen their sketches on the Civil War reenactment, Obama's Anger Translator, the text message misunderstanding (which we think everyone has experienced at least once!), or the beloved substitute teacher, Mr. Garvey, well, then…..YOU DONE MESSED UP, A-A-RON!!!
Today's root beer is Gold Mine.

“Shome thingsh in here don't react well to bulletsh!”
We discuss what Brant considers a dang-near perfect film(albeit a very “guy” movie): action-packed, political, intense situations, great music, excellent acting from a scattering of gems, AND the film is only PG!
It also doesn't hurt that Sean Connery looks so cool, or “austere”, Andrew says.
Today, we got Culver's burgers to go, complete with fries, cheese curds, and Culver's own root beer on tap.

Not exactly something we geek out about, per se, but we do enjoy entertaining some of the ideas people have come up with to claim we are all being duped! From Roswell aliens and faking the moon landing, to the idea that Finland isn't real, birds aren't real, or reality isn't real, some have us scratching our heads, while others might just have an air of possibility surrounding them. We take a light-hearted look at the more popular conspiracy theories from all around the globe….. hint, hint.

Stars and planets and meteorites, oh my!
Since the beginning of time, man has looked up and felt awe and wonder at what he saw. We discuss the moon, the galaxies, constellations, and space exploration. We even discuss Pluto's status as a dwarf planet.
Today's root beer is the extremely minty Olde Brooklyn.
