This week on Sucktastic, Christmas Spirit is in the toilet, and a North pole puppy swears off his birthright. Puppy Paws makes his way to Fernfield, Washington to learn what it means to be a normal dog, and he encounters the titular Buddies. While this is going on, Christmas is on the brink of extinction, and there is a subplot about a sick boy wanting a dog for Christmas. After screwing up the Buddies lives, Puppy Paws is picked up by the town dog catcher. While in the clink, Puppy Paws learns from a homeless dog that Christmas spirit is all some people and dogs hope for, and it's up to him to take on his responsibilities and save Christmas. After an escape, Puppy Paws enlists the help of the Buddies to help him bring back some magic, and save Christmas! This movie sucks. It's Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws, this week on Sucktastic Cinema!

It does not get more cursed than The Search for Santa Paws, the 10th entry in the Buddies/Air Bud franchise, and a prequel to the 8th film Santa Buddies. It starts with Santa receiving a dog corpse and gets sadder from there. We're very sorry we've done this.

It's the penultimate showdown before we crown the winner of the Air Buddies bracket and the competition has never been more fierce. First in this round we have Santa Buddies (2009), in which Puppie Paws learns that his father will someday die, the father of dying child unsuccessfully tries to haggle, and we learn for the first time of Christianity. Will it stand up to Spooky Buddies (2011) in which a warlock rides his staff like a surfboard, we learn more about God, and (I can't stress this enough) a dog farts on a demon until it dies. Who will win in this round of The Bracket Buddies? Who knows because ANY/EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Kerry and Collin fill the episode with tangents of a slightly darker nature, but also find time to talk about the "Air Bud'-inspired, direct-to-minivan concoction "Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws," in which cute little puppies must save the spirit of Christmas. This episode is longer than the film itself, but it provides plenty of dog food for thought (but not for kids). EXPLICIT!
With our 100th episode behind us, it's time to get back to business. This week's show is all about Puppy Star Christmas. Not only is this part four in the Pup Star series, but it's also the eighteenth installment in the inexplicably extant Air Bud franchise. And if that's not enough, this is specifically a spin-off of the original Santa Buddies. If none of that makes any sense, don't worry, we'll lay it all out for you. But because this film almost willfully ignores its own plot, we're forced to discuss everything from the superiority of foreign potato chip flavors, to whether or not the TV show CHiPS had any Christmas episodes, to the short history of people squatting on web domains for large corporations. It's a living. Questions/Comments? Email us at XmasCreeps@gmail.comTweet us @ChristmasCreepsVisit us on the web at ChristmasCreeps.com! Intro/Outro: Happy Christmas, You Guys!

The Bracket Buddies are back with the next cinematic masterpieces in the Air Bud spinoff series Air Buddies! For this episode, your hosts Liz and Spencer watched Space Buddies (2009) and Santa Buddies (2009). In Space Buddies, the Buddies walk on the moon, avoid crazy cosmonauts, and talk to a ferret! And in Santa Buddies they save the Christmas Icicle, sing a sad song about Christmas miracles, and discover the love that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, has for all of us. Who will win in this round of The Bracket Buddies? Who knows because ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

We've talked about it for ages, and with our 50th episode landing on the 4th of July, the time just felt right. We finally watched Santa Buddies. In this episode, Joe muses on the inherent holiday magic of an unlocked door, Brad spends an inordinate amount of time talking about JO crystals, and Johnny-5 does everything in his power to talk about literally anything other than Santa Buddies.

FOR THE LOVE OF BUD WE ARE ALMOST DONE. Bob and Matt can finally see an opening in the abyss, the bright light of heaven that is knowing they are 1 episode away from finishing this confusing sports dog nightmare! They sit down with Baltimore Comedian Mark Joyner to watch the sequel to a prequel to the 8th sequel to AIR BUD, so SANTA BUDDIES 3...er...AIR BUD 13...uh...well...SANTA PAWS 2: THE SANTA PUPS! Is Santa running a communist conspiracy, holding a small town hostage with the facade of merriment undercut with fear? Does Robert Vince adhere to his own rules of belief-based interspecies communication too ardently? IS THIS A MUSICAL or are these townsfolk being forced to sing in observance and praise of their false idol?!? Answers to all this and more, one click away! TRAILER AND RENTAL ON YOUTUBE!

"There but for the grace of Bud, go I." Matt and Bob have come far, and finally upon reaching AIR BUD 12, aka TREASURE BUDDIES, they finally know definitive truth. Bud, the worlds most perfect living organism, and his family bloodline are responsible for the very course of human history! Local baltimore comedian Jesse Cumor goes on an adventure with the boys to discover all of the false idols along the way. Does this movie blow the doors off the Air Bud Cinematic Universe Timeline? Do two 70 year old men get into a sword fight? Is a puppy eating and swallowing C4 played for laughs?! (the answer is Yes.)TRAILER AND RENTAL ON YOUTUBE!THE MOVIE IS ON NETFLIX!

What is there to say when the high watermark of a film franchise is the one where the antagonist is killed by a puppy fart? Matt, Bob and Baltimore filmmaker, comedian and talking-animal movie enthusiast Max Levine have gathered enough puppy blood to endure SPOOKY BUDDIES!That's right AIR BUD 11! Once again starring Diedrich Bader as the voice of The Halloween Hound, his former Drew Carey co-star Ryan Stiles as the voice of an owl and Harland Williams in his second greatest lead performance of all time, behind ROCKETMAN of course. Does this movie finally address the remaining existential quandaries of Air Bud's cinematic universe? Is it ok for a police officer to freely distribute evidence from unsolved crimes directly into the hands of children? Why did director Robert Vince kill 5 puppies for SNOW BUDDIES then go on to later make a movie where the plot hinges on murdering exactly 5 puppies?

Join these three men as they sled through this shit pole trying to figure out why santa is now that guy from Office Space? Can the all powerful christmas ice sickle create fully formed sentient life from ostensibly nothing? Does this children's movie feature scenes where Santa and Dog Santa both die onscreen? Do all New York orphanages have crematory-sized dual furance/incerators in the basement? Will we ever find out who exactly Mr. Hucklebuckle is??? WHAT YEAR DOES THIS MOVIE TAKE PLACE IN???

Well, we watched the movie. Sorry.
Tis' the season to be jolly - but not for these boys. A special watch of the Christmas themed Santa Buddies has brought a real sour energy to the room. Listen as Oliver devours dog food, the boys get furious once again, and a time of reflection is had. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

Santa Buddies (2009) kicks off our holiday season by revisiting those miserable talking dogs from Super Buddies. This time though the CG is worse and it nearly kills our holiday spirit. Which is ironic because the movie is all about why we should have the holiday spirit. Second half we talk a bevy of movies […]
