The Film School Janitors know trash when they see it, and with this review they ask - is CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS trash? Or is it gold? Or frankincense? Or myrhh? Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis star in this adaptation of a John Grisham novel (yes, the courtroom thriller guy tried to get some of that crunchy Christmas cash). The nicest thing to say about this film is... it's weird. The naughtiest thing to say... involves a strange tanning booth sequence in the film. Unwrap this podcast today to find out more!

Send us a textKatie and Bridget KRANK IT UP as they re-watch the movie: Christmas with the Kranks! Come along as we meet Luther and Nora Krank, a couple who says goodbye to their daughter before Christmas time (girls in the Peace Core... Allegedly...) and they become severely depressed. But as anyone from Jersey knows, the one cure to fixing the holiday blues involves three simple things: tanning, Botox, and cruises! When the Kranks decide to skip out on Christmas the movie becomes a horror movie, and nightmare induced bullying ensues! At least up until their daughter announces she's coming home for Christmas last minute - and possibly getting married!? - then they pivot and slap that Krank button to get the holiday spirit back in swing at their house. We've got Christmas sweater vests, early 2000's references, and a big old bob-cut all wrapped up in this tonally confusing Christmas movie! Released in 2004, it stars Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Aykroyd, M. Emmet Walsh, Elizabeth Franz, and Erik Per Sullivan.
This week we conclude our Christmas Countdown with the 1994 holiday comedy starring Tim Allen, The Santa Clause...

This holiday season, we're investigating the jolliest anomaly in the multiverse. Strap in for a deep dive into the lore of Santa Claus as filtered through three wildly different realities: the fungus-fueled, dakka-obsessed imagination of Warhammer 40k's Orks; the legally-binding, cosmic magic of Tim Allen's The Santa Clause / Yule-verse; and the murderously malfunctioning programming of Futurama's Robot Santa. From the battlefields of the 41st Millennium to the dystopian chimneys of the 31st century, we're asking the big questions: Is a belief-powered Santa enough to power a WAAAGH? What if Santa was an extra dimensional being across the Yule-verse? And when does "naughty or nice" become a death sentence? It's a lore-drop of festive, frightening, and utterly bizarre proportions.Welcome to Living by the Lore, we discuss fictional worlds and how wondrous and ridiculous they are. From funniest to least annoying, we are Guy, Matt, and Jude, 3 aussie blokes here to laugh and share fiction.

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.

Much like the polar express this episode is off the rails. We discuss doing this episode as a time capsule, but then we don't commit to it at all. A bunch of topics we've already discussed are discussed yet again. Then: What was the deal with 1990's graphic design schools? What Christmas movie would make a good video game? We review a workplace White Elephant gift exchange on a scale of 1-7 ho ho ho's. Brian presents a Holiday Food Game that isn't about hunks. Holiday eight ball makes predictions.

Did you know one comedian, Tim Allen, was the secret weapon behind Disney's massive corporate makeover in the 90s? In this video, we reveal The Tim Allen Blueprint: the calculated strategy Disney used to turn a single star into a multi-billion dollar corporate synergy machine. From his hit sitcom Home Improvement (ABC) to his blockbuster film debut in The Santa Clause (Touchstone), and his iconic voice role in a certain animated masterpiece, Tim Allen was the key figure connecting Disney's newly acquired and developing divisions. We break down how Disney used his star power to create a self-feeding "flywheel" of success that changed Hollywood forever...(again) If you've ever wondered how Disney became the IP giant it is today, the answer might just be "To infinity and beyond!"

Send us a textWhat do kids really touch when they “use AI”? We sat down with educator Tom Mullaney and early virtual economy pioneer Tim Allen to strip away the buzzwords and bring AI back to what children actually experience: predictive systems that generate words, pictures, and sounds without authorship or intent. From Second Life marketplaces to today's chatbots, we trace how hype blurs reality, how “easy button” tools undercut learning, and why kids deserve a clear, practical map for using AI without losing creativity or judgment.We dig into a simple, striking demo: nine leading models drawing a wall clock once per minute, often getting it wrong in different ways. That moving snapshot opens a bigger lesson—if a model can't keep a clock straight, don't trust it where accuracy matters. Tom explains why generative AI reads as polished but painfully boring in student writing, while Tim offers pathways for young coders to use models for boilerplate and then switch to human craft for novelty and taste. Together we explore the mental health risks of parasocial chatbot bonds, the screen-addictive design of platforms, and the Harvard study that ties lifelong happiness to real relationships, not fleeting likes.Parents and teachers will find practical guardrails: ask who built the tool and who benefits, demand transparency and family controls, and push for real accountability when systems output harmful content. Kids get a north star: humans create, computers generate. Keep AI as a tool, not a crutch. Choose projects that make you think, verify results, and be proud to fail boldly as you learn. We also touch on the environmental cost of running large models and why a family-first approach to AI can help everyone stay curious, safe, and grounded.If this conversation helps you teach skepticism without fear and keep kids building in the real world, share it with a friend, subscribe for more like this, and leave a review with the one guardrail you'd add first.Support the showHelp us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids.

In time for the holidays, Rivka and Frank cover the 2000 Jim Carrey adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The duo dig into whether this Dr. Seuss classic is truly an anti-consumerist tale—or if it ultimately misses the mark. They also unpack Whoville as a surprisingly prophetic preview of our current plastic-surgery obsession and the class aesthetics baked into its cheerfully creepy smiles. For next week's movie, we'll be watching another Christmas classic, Tim Allen's 1994 The Santa Clause.

Tim Allen's first big hit film won over a lot of Christmas fans but leaves a strange taste for the Nostalgia Critic. What are his thoughts on this over 30 year old holiday flick?

Send us a textTwo drinks in, zero pretense, and a sleigh full of hot takes. We crack open Disney's Santa Clause trilogy with a Jolly Holly in hand and ask the only question that matters on a cozy movie night: what still feels like Christmas and what just feels loud?We start by deconstructing the Be Our Guest Jolly Holly—vanilla vodka, dark rum, butterscotch, apple cider—and troubleshoot the flavor until it actually tastes like December. From there, we track how a perfect premise in 1994 turned into a broader sitcom romp in Part Two and a glossy, time-twisting spectacle in Part Three. The core throughline still works: Tim Allen's gruff charm, Charlie's unwavering belief, and a North Pole that, at its best, feels lived-in rather than plastic. We dig into what the movies added to holiday lore—the council of Mother Nature, Tooth Fairy, Sandman, Father Time, Cupid, Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost—and why small character choices (Bernard's clipped authority, Judy's cocoa wisdom, Neil's deadpan evolution) make these films rewatchable.Not everything lands. The second film's angst and toy-factory coup wobble, and the third turns sparkle up to eleven without the heart to match, even with Martin Short chewing frozen scenery. Still, we find bright spots, including Lucy's sweetness and a few well-placed gags about contracts, HR, and the hazards of magical fine print. We even wander into park talk: for a studio that loves seasonal overlays, why isn't this franchise celebrated at Christmas? Picture a Judy-approved cocoa stand, a “Santa clause” contract gag wall, or a quick-hit workshop walkthrough that turns nostalgia into a warm, shareable moment.Grab your mug and queue the first film; keep the second for myth-building fun; let the third play while you wrap gifts.

Seann William Scott, Michelle Pfeiffer, Felicity Jones… and my dog Blue barging in for a potty break. Yeah, this episode is stacked.In this festive-yet-chaotic episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, I kick things off with my buddy Seann William Scott, a.k.a. Stifler, who's back to talk Season 2 of his Tim Allen sitcom Shifting Gears (now airing on ABC and streaming on Disney+ and Hulu). We get into everything from tortured Philadelphia Eagles fandom and awkward Thanksgiving family drama to what it's really like shooting a multi-cam sitcom in front of a live studio audience. Seann talks about working with Tim Allen (yes, America's TV dad), navigating punchlines around real-time audience laughter, the magic of shorter 13-episode seasons, and why this show feels like comfort-food TV that still lets him be home in time to pick up his daughter from school. He also teases his upcoming horror film Dolly, a brutal 16mm French-extremity-style shocker that horror fans are going to want on their radar.Then we go full holiday mode with screen legends Michelle Pfeiffer and Felicity Jones, who join me to talk about their new Prime Video holiday dramedy Oh. What. Fun. Michelle opens up about why she signed on to the film, working with director Michael Showalter, and how the movie doubles as a love letter to overworked, underappreciated moms everywhere. Felicity shares how the mother - daughter dynamic in the film mirrors real life, why the story balances emotional truth with big, messy, laugh-out-loud moments, and what makes this holiday movie feel a little less “perfect snow globe” and a lot more “this is what my family actually looks like.” Watch Oh. What. Fun. on Prime Video here!If you love celebrity interviews, holiday movies, sitcom deep dives, Shifting Gears, or just want to hear me quietly spiral about the fact that I just interviewed Michelle freakin' Pfeiffer, this one's for you.If you dig the show, subscribe, rate, and share - and tell your friend who's always stealing your streaming passwords.
A Christmas classic - Tim Allen brings to life Santa Claus in this fun, heart-felt, and funny take on Christmas. He has 11 months to convince everyone that he really is Santa Claus - a monumental task when factoring in an ex-wife, her husband, co-workers, and friends. If you sat down with a stranger would they be able to figure out your identity? Would they know you are a Christian by how you talk, act, and behave?
Tim Allen, Chief Growth Officer at MBE CPAs, shares how his lifelong passion for writing and motorsports has enriched both his personal and professional life. He reminisces about his early days getting in trouble for producing a black market student newspaper and how those writing skills, encouraged by his English teacher mom, have led to freelance opportunities with industry publications. Tim discusses his favorite experiences interviewing fascinating people in the automotive world, including celebrities like Keanu Reeves and Aaron Shelby. He believes his pursuits outside of work make him a better business developer and communicator, helping him craft better pitches and approach conversations from multiple angles. Tim emphasizes the value of bringing one's best self, including unique interests, into the workplace, noting how sharing these passions fosters stronger human connections. He encourages others to embrace their interests unapologetically, underlining that being comfortable with who you are paves the way for greater fulfillment at work and beyond. Episode Highlights · Tim highlights how his love for writing and motorsports not only enriches his personal life but also sharpens his skills and creativity in his corporate marketing and business development roles. · His experiences as a freelance writer, interviewing notable personalities and going behind the scenes at motorsports events underscore how following your interests can create unique and memorable opportunities. · Tim believes sharing personal interests (your "And") at work fosters genuine connections, makes you more relatable, and helps build stronger, more engaging relationships with colleagues and clients. · He encourages people not to hide who they are; being open about your hobbies or passions leads to a richer, more authentic professional (and personal) life, even if it takes time to become comfortable with that vulnerability. · Tim values spending time, like coffee catch-ups or casual chats, getting to know people beyond their job titles, emphasizing that these interactions are not only rewarding but also an essential (and too often overlooked) part of building community and culture in and out of work.
Friend of the pod Katherine Scheil is the author of Imagining Shakespeare's Wife: The Afterlife of Anne Hathaway and the co-editor of the upcoming Palgrave Handbook of Shakespearean Biofiction, is the perfect person to talk about Chloé Zhao's film version of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell's 2020 novel. Scheil highlights some of the differences between the novel and the film; some head-scratching marketing choices; how the novel and (especially) Jessie Buckley's performance, empower Shakespeare's wife in a way we've never seen before; and a curious similarity between Paul Mescal in Hamnet and Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest. (Length 23:21) The post Hamnet, The Movie appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Not all Roth conversions are created equal — and new research shows a clear winner. Richard Rosso breaks down a study that modeled hundreds of thousands of retirement scenarios to determine which Roth conversion strategy performs best over a 10-year period: • Staying in a traditional IRA/401(k) and taking RMDs • A one-time Roth conversion • A gradual, multi-year conversion strategy We examine how taxes, RMDs, longevity, and investment returns affect the outcome — and why a one-time conversion often comes out ahead if you can handle the upfront tax bill. 0:19 - The Sexiest Word in Finance 4:44 - The Roth Account Smile 7:29 - Roth Applications for Different Stages of Life 10:17 - Tax Hierarchy Considerations 14:09 - The Craft of Retirement Income & Withdrawals 19:07 - Roth as a Legacy Tool 21:22 - A Lifetime of Tax Savings with Roth 24:11 - Why a One-time Roth Conversion is Best Option 30:36 - Reconsidering Gradual Withdrawals 33:12 - Retirement Strategies are Personal 33:53 - Tim Allen, Mike Rowe, & Why Men Don't Work 38:14 - Thanksgiving Wishes Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mkgUOAZU7Y&list=PLVT8LcWPeAuhi47sn298HrsWYwmg8MV7d&index=1 ------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Why This Pullback Isn't a Panic" is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb8BeVp7ID8&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- REGISTER for our 2026 Economic Summit, "The Future of Digital Assets, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing:" https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-ria-economic-summit-tickets-1765951641899?aff=oddtdtcreator ------- Our Previous Show, "How The Fed Deals Liquidity: The Monetary Toolbox" is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnB1pog_r_I&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #RothIRA #RetirementPlanning #TaxStrategy #IRAConversion #PersonalFinance
