Well, that's Christmas. It's a good thing you guys got this last podcast of the season, 'cos I got three freakin' pies to bake today. And I'm a tired monkey, thanks to these kidneys. Hell, I should make a kidney pie. For the record, I'm making a Maple syrup pie, a Salmon Pie and a Tourtière for Réveillon.

Welcome to an all-new Secular Solstice Season 2011! This year has come to a great start, since I did not have to work on Black Friday! How much better could it be?

I'd like to thank the Reverend Jehovah Jones for sending an email after I asked for one last time. Thanks, because it gives me content I don't have to create. This week, I take a look at the film "Santa Claus," a 1957 Mexican movie, and MST3K's take on it. We also have Nick Danger's Third Eye.
