Podcast appearances and mentions of barbara robinson

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy February! We are one month closer to the most wonderful time of the year!  This week, Julia and Anthony - sans Thom due to life! - gather to discuss the 2024 comedy film, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever", which is based on the famous children's book of the same name by Barbara Robinson. In many ways, it's similar to Hulu's 2024 offering, "Nutcrackers", but does the more family friendly story with more overt religious undertones work better for the elves than Ben Stiller's morose comedy? You'll just have to tune in to find out! But one thing's for sure: this is one festive episode that will definitely give you those warm Christmas fuzzies on this cold, February, Monday morning.  So settle back, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

On this episode of the daily with Syl Stein, I am talking about the best selling book by the late author Barbara Robinson, the best Christmas pageant ever which was published in 1972. It also had a TV movie back in 1983 and now it has become a motion picture directed by the amazing Dallas Jenkins of the chosen. I am talking all about this book and the books by Barbara Robinson. I hope you will check it out happy 2025.

We kick-off this year's 12 Days of Christmas series by catching-up on a new release! Rachel joins us to discuss The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, based on the beloved book from the 1970s. You can click on the link to listen.

That's why we were excited to visit our local theater to see the new, widely-released Dallas Jenkins film based on the popular children's novel of the same name. Originally authored by Barbara Robinson in 1972, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER tells the story of the Herdman family, affectionately dubbed “the worst kids in the world”. The Herdmans effectively run their small town of Emmanuel because no one can control their bad behavior. The town always had a sanctuary away from the mischief in church, but this seal was broken when the Herdman kids discovered the free snacks offered and insisted on participating in the yearly Christmas pageant. A cherished town tradition in Emmanuel, the Herdmans risk destroying the Christmas Pageant through their destructive irreverence, but instead their sincere, outsider curiosity about Christianity ends up winning over the hearts and minds of the rest of the congregation, creating a special memory of THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER. Director Dallas Jenkins (son of Jerry B. Jenkins, co-author of the original LEFT BEHIND book series) was apparently so passionate about bringing THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER to life on film that he set a daily reminder in his phone to pray for acquiring the rights to the story. It's a shame that this passion didn't manifest in the final project, which is styled so blandly and portrayed so literally to the text that the story comes across as cruel and inhumane toward the Herdmans instead of whimsical.  View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy

In this special episode, Jen and Amy get a visit from a Hollywood darling we've loved in countless films and shows like The Descendants, Archer, 27 Dresses, Arrested Development and 13 Going on 30 to talk about her newest project based on the beloved children's book, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! Actress Judy Greer talks about what it's like to collaborate on such a treasured holiday story that she somehow missed out on as a kid but was lucky enough to discover when she was cast for the role. She sets the scene for what it was like to film the movie last fall in wintry Winnipeg with a cast full of kids on set and also takes a moment to share some highlights from earlier in her career. Also in this episode:  Amy and Jen talk about their mixed feelings toward pageants and public performances. As you might guess, one of them loves them, one hates them. In our GenXcellence segment, Jen and Amy recount their first movie-without-parents experiences. And we Rant or Rave about decorating the house at Christmastime. *** Thought-provoking Quotes:  “I directed so many programs with my sisters and my girl cousins, and my parents were very, very mediocre audience members. If you're going to have four kids, guess what you get to do? You're going to sit on the brown corduroy couch and watch our shitty programs. That's part of the deal. We practiced for six hours. I had choreography. At one point, I gave Lindsay an umbrella that she had to open at just the right lyric in the song and the bitch could not do it and it was so upsetting.” – Jen Hatmaker  “I think what's so beautiful about this story is that it's about unity, and compassion, and empathy. And it's about being welcoming.” – Judy Greer Resources Mentioned in This Episode: 48 Hours movie (1982) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083511/ Film Rating Guide - https://www.motionpictures.org/film-ratings/ Top Gun movie (1986) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092099/ The Shining movie (1980) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/ Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - https://drafthouse.com/austin 37th Street Austin Light Display - https://www.instagram.com/37thstreetlights/ Arrested Development - https://www.netflix.com/title/70140358 13 Going on 30 movie (2004) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337563/ The Descendants movie (2011) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1033575/ I Don't Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star by Judy Greer - https://amzn.to/4hiDC0y The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids by Barbara Robinson - https://amzn.to/3YzrNfh The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie (2024) - https://bestchristmaspageantever.movie/ Archer - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1486217/ Citizen Ruth movie (1996) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115906/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Dallas Jenkins - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0420817/?ref_=tt_ov_dr_1 Pete Holmes - https://peteholmes.com/ Guest's Links: Judy's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/missjudygreer Judy's Twitter - https://x.com/missjudygreer Judy's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/OfficialJudyGreer/ Movie Links: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bestchristmaspageantevermovie/ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BestChristmasPageantEverMovie The Best Christmas Pageant Ever's Twitter - https://x.com/BCPEMovie Connect with Jen!

It might seem odd to consider that "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is kind of an anomaly among Christmas movies: It's set in modern day, but actually focuses on the real meaning of Christmas--you know, the religious meaning.  Perhaps you remember reading the book when you were a kid.  Maybe you've seen the stage production that's made the rounds over the years.  Or maybe you even watched the 1980's TV movie.  But now there is a new feature-length version coming to theaters on November 8th.  In this Movie Show Digital Extra, producers Chet Thomas and Darin McDaniel join Andy Farnsworth to talk about the movie, the 20+ year journey to get it made, the desire and efforts to make sure it stayed fully true to the source material, how they got "The Chosen's" Dallas Jenkins to direct, how they cast the young Herdmans, and why this particular story has resonated with so many people over the decades.

PopaHALLics #114 "Avoid These Shows!"You want some turkey? We take out the knives to carve up "Obliterated," "The Buccaneers," and "Monarch: A Legacy of Monsters." But we also make two recommendations for holiday viewing—including one not traditionally thought of as a "Christmas" movie.Streaming:"Obliterated," Netflix. An elite special forces team drunk and stoned from partying must find a nuclear bomb before Las Vegas is, well, obliterated. Steve says this violent, sexual dramedy is a comedy dud."The Buccaneers," Apple+. A group of  American girls go to England in search of rich husbands in this period drama with modern touches—think a cross between "Bridgerton" and "The Gilded Age."  Kate kept falling asleep."Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," Apple+. This action drama comes alive when Godzilla and other monsters are onscreen. Unfortunately, most of it's about the humans. Kurt Russell and son Wyatt play the same character at different ages."Falling for Christmas," Netflix. In this holiday rom-com, pampered heiress Lindsay Lohan gets amnesia and is taken in by handsome widower with super-cute young daughter. Stop us if you can see where this is going."Moonstruck," streaming and rental. Cher won a Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a widowed woman who falls in love with her fiance's estranged, hot-tempered younger brother (Nicolas Cage) in this 1987 romantic comedy drama."For All Mankind," Apple +. This speculative sci-fi series depicts an escalating space race after the Russians put a man on the moon first. Books:"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," by Barbara Robinson. This bestselliing holiday classic follows the shenanigans of  "the worst kids in the history of the world" when they get involved with a church Christmas pageant. "In the Lives of Puppets," by T.J. Klune. Set in the future after robots have taken over, this novel is a charming PInocchio-inspired fable about what makes us human and the families we choose.Music:PopaHALLics #114 Playlist features our favorite songs from our PopaHALLics playlists this year, from Los Bitchos to Beyonce, from Leonard Cohen to Talking Heads.  Rock on!

Stori and Rayah talk about Christmas in a more general way - their personal christmas histories, The War on Christmas™, capitalism, and traditions. Stori reads an excerpt from “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” by Barbara Robinson. They ask us to think about what the phrase “Jesus is the reason for the season” means and consider whether the way we celebrate Christmas reflects the life and love of Jesus Christ. Not to shame, but to breathe life and creativity into a season in which many of us feel pressured to celebrate a certain way.  Stori Long is a Pastor and Social Media Organizer at Storyline Community in Milwaukie, Oregon. Rayah is a local community member and theology nerd in Milwaukie, Oregon.

We all need a king who is truly for us. Not just when we are strong or good, but when we are weak and anything but good. Not just when we know where we are going, but when we have lost our way. We need a king who is truly there for us, who will not abandon us, even when we ignore him, doubt him, blame him or turn our backs on him. The good news is that we have a kind like that! A king that knows our human vulnerability, sees us as precious, and is with us now and forever.Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48991413Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new22.12.04

Der Titel des Buches lautet: HILFE, die Herdmanns kommen Im Original ist es eine amerikanische Fassung aus dem Jahre 1971 und hier trägt es den Titel: „The Best Christmas Pageant Ever“, übersetzt bedeutet das so viel wie „Das beste Krippenspiel überhaupt“. Das Buch wurde von Barbara Robinson geschrieben und ins Deutsche von Nele und Paul Maar übersetzt. Paul Maar kennt man beispielsweise von dem Buch „das Sams“. Aber nun zum Inhalt des Buches: Zu der Familie Herdmann gehören Hedwig, Olli, Klaus, Leopold, Eugenia und Ralf Herdmann. Diese sechs Kinder benehmen sich meistens ziemlich asozial. Sie verursachen häufig Streit, sie quälen andere Kinder und verbreiten regelrecht Angst und Schrecken. Das Buch beginnt mit den Worten: Die Herdmann - Kinder waren die schlimmsten aller Zeiten. Sie logen und klauten, rauchten Zigaretten (sogar die Mädchen) und erzählten schmutzige Witze. Sie schlugen kleine Kinder, fluchten auf ihre Lehrer, missbrauchten den Namen des Herrn…und setzten alles mögliche in Brand. Die Kinder kennen ihren Vater Herdmann nicht. Er ist, als Hermine Herdmann, die Jüngste der Familie zwei Jahre alt war, auf das Dach eines fahrenden Zuges gesprungen und seitdem nicht mehr aufgetaucht. Mutter Herdmann arbeitet rund um die Uhr in einer Schuhfabrik und das tut sie nach eigenen Angaben gern… Somit passen die Herdmanns Kinder auf sich selbst auf. Und die Großen lehren den Kleinen alles, was sie können. Der Beweis dafür ist, dass Hedwig die Schlimmste von allen Herdmanns ist. Doch eines Tages tauchen alle sechs Kinder urplötzlich in der Sonntagsschule auf, weil sie annehmen, dass es dort Süßigkeiten zu essen gibt. Und zu allem Überfluss schaffen sie es auch noch beim Krippenspiel sämtliche Hauptrollen zu bekommen. In diesem Jahr werden die Proben ziemlich chaotisch, aber zu Jedermanns Überraschung erkennen alle anderen Bewohner der kleinen Stadt, dass in den Herdmanns doch ein guter Kern steckt und es scheint, dass sie den Geist, die Botschaft der Weihnacht besser zu verstanden haben als alle Anderen bisher. Aber lest selbst, es lohnt sich, denn lesen fetzt!
