It's no secret that we're obsessed with holiday cartoons, and this week we're diving into Frosty the Snowman and its sequels. Everyone knows the 1969 Rankin/Bass original, in which Frosty and Karen hitch a train to the North Pole so Frosty can melt away while Karen freezes to death. Then there's Frosty's Winter Wonderland from 1976, with Jack Frost serving as Best Man at a bizarre snow-person wedding. 1979 saw the ultimate Rankin/Bass crossover event: Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July. (Worlds will live, worlds will die, Ethel Merman will sing, and the RBU will never be the same.) Things get even weirder in 1992 with Frosty Returns. John Goodman is the voice of Frosty, SNL's Lorne Michaels is the producer, music is by Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, and director Bill Melendez makes the whole thing look like a Charlie Brown special. Finally we have 2005's The Legend of Frosty the Snowman, which brings it all back to the original cartoon with a cameo from long-suffering magician Professor Hinkle. And if you've been waiting for a Frosty cartoon narrated by Burt Reynolds, this is it. (Also this week: Kevin Geeks Out About Christmas. Seriously.) So slip into your favorite magic hat and we'll all go belly-whopping together. Happy Birthday. Kevin Geeks Out! And our regular links... The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

Mugs convinces fellow dad Kevin Maher to come spend the night out on Long Island so they can watch Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980) projected on 35mm for a midnight double-feature and do a podcast about it the next day.The presentation of Suspiria was unique in that it was a recently discovered "uncut" print of the film that was making the rounds. As this version was all Italian language, the film had "soft subtitles" projected onto the screen during the presentation... with mixed results.Follow Kevin on his excellent twitter feed @KevinGeeksOut and, if you ever have the opportunity, definitely seek out his live show "Kevin Geeks Out" based in Brooklyn.

All good things must come to an end. In this episode, Patrick & Gena say Bon Voyage to Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan with the expert help of Kevin Maher (@KevinGeeksOut) and delve into the depths of Water In Horror before heading out on the town in the Big Apple with Mr. Voorhees. Items up for bid include: How much of New York City’s alleyways are fully furnished? Why isn’t there more xylophone accompaniment in this movie? Where are all the “great” cocaine jokes? Why is this film under the illusion that Manhattan is an agricultural-based economy? How much of Jason is Smurf and what is just moss? All that and we bet the house on a new edition of Choose Your Own Death-venture! It’s the end of the 80s Friday films, but The Body Count Continues… Never fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday! Have something to say?
