Because we don't know how not to do shit like this: It's The Dark Universe Holiday Special, a full-script, full-cast episode featuring our entire surviving Dark Legion! What do we have in store for this short, semi-canonical installment in the Death's Door Saga? How silly will we get? Will we be parodying a beloved holiday classic? Which of our heroes will learn the true meaning of Christmas? We address the many terrific predictions from our fan community, which, thank goodness, are mostly incorrect, and take you page-by-page through our creative process for this sweet little treat of an episode.

Christmas comes early to Soundtracker. I'm releasing this episode a few days early to help get you through the long drives and/or flights during your holiday travels. For the show's first Christmas episode, it's THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL with a bonus chat about the 1987 television special A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS. I'm joined by Rachel Millman (@rachelmillman) for this episode, who appreciates the Muppets on a much deeper level than you. In this episode we talk about Muppets as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia characters, Muppet history, and pretty much any other Muppet related thing you can imagine.

This week Danielle and Lindsey are joined by Rachel Millman. She’s one of the founders of the "WrestleSplania" podcast. She’ll explain how her journey into wrestling led to her starting the podcast and how she plans to reboot the show in the coming weeks. Clash of Champions This past weekend, WWE held "Clash of Champions," the final PPV before they air three live televised wrestling programs every week. Seth Rollins may have lost on of his championships, but he is still the Intercontinental Champion. And while his match with Braun was good, if a little rushed, the bigger story is his next opponent: Bray Wyatt aka The Fiend. Is Braun being lost in the shuffle with all of this? And does WWE have things pointing in the right direction for its most significant title with competition closing in? And speaking of new opponents, Brock Lesnar has challenged Kofi Kingston for the WWE title. Is this the end for the dream run? And how do we feel about Brock being the one to end it? Plus, Baron Corbin is your new King of the Ring, The Revival continue their career resurgence and why Danielle sees Randy Orton as a buffer version of certain celebrity (hint: 500 Days of Summer) The Three Count Rachel put over Jake Atlas vs. Priscilla Kelly at Rise. Lindsey put over Yamashiro restaurant in Hollywood. Danielle put over MJF on Twitter. Danielle Radford, and Lindsey Kelk. Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Pro wrestling hasn’t been the kindest entertainment industry for women. Relegated to Playboy-sponsored pillow fight matches or mud wrestling, women wrestlers didn’t get to shine for their athleticism or fighting prowess very often until Chyna came around in the late 90s. Her storylines were pretty meta, with male wrestlers and announcers who questioned her qualifications being on the receiving end of her feminist rage. But even then, women wrestlers like her had to constantly endure being sexually objectified and called “yapping female dogs” by the commentators. Yet pro wrestling is still very much a part of American pop culture, with folks making connections between it and other forms of expression, as an art form. So what’s the draw? Why does pro wrestling affect people so much, to the point of emotional catharsis? And… is it art? Today’s guests are two people who’ve shown me just how cool wrestling can be. First, I talk to Julian Burrell, producer of a really great podcast called Tights and Fights, about a wrestling match that made him cry. Then you’ll hear from Kath Barbadoro, a comedian and host of Wrestlesplania, a podcast where she explains to her co-host, Rachel Millman, why wrestling is good. SHOUT-OUTS Read April LaValle’s retrospective take on WWE’s Attitude era for Bitch. Curious about EVE? Find out more about their mission, events, and wrestlers. Check out this great writeup on Chyna and her history with the WWE at the Mary Sue. If pro wrestling lingo seems a bit confusing, you can cross-reference with this handy guide from Complex.
In this very special Summerslam week edition of Wrestlesplania, Rachel and Kath wrestlesplain the appeal of pro wrestling to author/funny human/owner of hair DC Pierson (www.twitter.com/dcpierson)!

(The uncut Summerslam game is on the full length giant-size 2 hour episode available exclusively on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wrestlesplania.)
