Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Here’s our gift to you — a mini recorded LIVE from another special occasion: Elliott’s birthday weekend!

When last we left our doggie heroes, they had made their way inside the house, and thus far managed to protect the adorable kitten, Cutiepie — but they STILL haven’t scored any of that delicious chili, and their antics continue to threaten the farmer’s daughter’s wedding day. What will happen?!? Give a listen and see!

Elliott ACTUALLY explains Adam Warlock.

Stuart’s most ostentatiously-named mini format makes a triumphant return, as he talks to us about the Emmys, and current TV in general.

We talk a bit with one of Super Mario Bros.’s screenwriters, Mr. Parker Bennett.

Elliott asks Stu and Dan questions about video game movies in the form of a retro video game of the mind. Don’t worry; it makes sense when you listen. Mostly.

Dan challenges the others to a game he’s invented that has absolutely nothing to do with Monopoly, and everything to do with how quickly we forget the dreck we watch for this podcast.

While we’re sad to say goodbye to beloved Producer Jordan, we’re happy to welcome Producer Alex, as he drops by to tell us about a forgotten TV movie from horror icon Wes Craven, Invitation to Hell!
