This week on Drinks and a Movie Podcast, Malia joins me as we revisit Disney's 1994 holiday hit, The Santa Clause. Tim Allen's unlikely transformation from regular dad to North Pole icon has become a seasonal staple—but does it still hold up decades later? We break down the film's comedy, heart, and surprisingly dark fairy-tale edges, and talk about why it continues to resonate with holiday audiences.To keep things warm and festive, we're pairing the movie with a pour of Old Overholt 12 Year Old Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. We dive into the nose, palate, and finish, discuss how the extra proof changes the experience, and decide whether this classic rye's long-aged, high-octane revival belongs on your winter sipping list. It's holiday nostalgia, grown-up spirits, and a reminder that sometimes the best way to watch a Christmas movie is with a strong rye in hand.

In this special holiday episode of The REconomy Podcast™, Chief Economist Mark Fleming and Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi unwrap the hidden homeownership themes threaded throughout some of the most iconic holiday movie classics. From It's a Wonderful Life to Home Alone to The Holiday, and Christmas Vacation, homeownership is more than a backdrop, it is the emotional core of the American story.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe we're just three days away from Christmas? Neither can we! This year absolutely flew by. To celebrate the moment, Julia, Thom, and Anthony come together to break down Amazon Prime's 2025 original holiday film, "Oh. What. Fun."

Along the way, the elves also dives into the Colburn Advent Activities, the Crowe family's ongoing plumbing saga, the latest movies Anthony's watched since the last episode, Steven Beech's spicy Christmas movie opinions, films that may have climbed onto—or slipped off of—our personal Top Ten lists, STDs vs. STIs, and much, much more.

 “What would you do if you discovered a masterpiece lost for 400 years hidden in your own home?” That's just one of the wild questions Sandy and Tricia tackle in this episode of The Sandy Show, where every moment is a blend of laughter, heart, and a dash of mischief. Join Sandy and Tricia as they serve up a whirlwind of stories—from the hilarious (and slightly evil) Christmas parenting hacks to the heartfelt campaign to free Betty, the world's most depressed circus elephant. Tricia surprises everyone by siding with PETA, championing the clever idea for Alice in Chains to become “Betty in Chains” for a month. “Let Betty go. She's done her time,” Tricia declares, sparking a conversation that's as passionate as it is poignant. Relive the magic of holiday movies as the duo reveals which Christmas classics are returning to the big screen, and laugh along as they debate whether “Love Actually” truly counts as a Christmas movie. Nostalgia runs deep as Sandy and Tricia reminisce about old-school movie outings, complete with newspaper listings and spontaneous ticket window decisions. The episode doesn't shy away from the quirky and the relatable—like the debate over the perfect winter thermostat setting (“68 degrees? That sounds like a freaking tinderbox to me!”), the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year (“rage bait”), and the confessions of following people online just to stay annoyed. Listeners are treated to playful banter, including the infamous “dirty legging” accusation and a shout-out to loyal podcast fans who stuck around through Thanksgiving. With memorable moments, witty exchanges, and genuine heart, this episode captures the essence of The Sandy Show: real conversations, real laughs, and real life.Notable Quotes:“Let Betty go. She's done her time.”“I don't trust any animal that can poop and walk at the same time.”“68 degrees? That sounds like a freaking tinderbox to me!”“You're a grudge guy. Why do I hang out with you?”“Do us a solid and copy and paste the link to this episode and send it to a friend or two.”Call-to-Action:Loved the show?

Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into FATMAN (2020) — the unholy collision of Christmas cheer and hard-edged action starring Mel Gibson as a battle-worn Santa Claus and Walton Goggins as a vengeful hitman.In this episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast, we break down why Fatman feels like the gritty fake action movie advertised inside Scrooged, how Walton Goggins absolutely carries the film, and why this version of Santa is closer to Superman than a slasher villain.Before the review, Johnny reacts to 2025 Christmas trends including:The rise of vintage 1990s Christmas aestheticsWhy Christmas trees are getting smallerThe bizarre popularity of holiday whiskey gimmicksWhy roe > caviar at holiday parties (we said what we said)Plus:Christmas movie chart shifts (Elf, The Grinch, Home Alone)Thoughts on the Silent Night, Deadly Night remakeWhy Fatman doesn't quite kill Santa — and why that mattersDeep lore questions: is Santa powered by goodwill… or force?If you're building your Christmas movie watchlist, curious about Santa action movies, or burned out but still searching for something rowdy, weird, and holiday-adjacent — this episode's for you.Binge it now.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – In many ways, holiday movies serve as bridges between generations. Grandparents may prefer classics like Miracle on 34th Street, while younger family members gravitate toward modern comedies. Watching these films together creates opportunities for conversation, laughter, and shared appreciation. It is a reminder that traditions are not static—they grow, adapt, and...
