While you enjoy the marathon of A Christmas Story this Christmas Eve, Germ and Zach discuss the classic tale of Ralphie, his quest for a Red Ryder Carbine Action BB gun, and his overactive imagination (lookin' at you, Bad Bart). As always, there are detours, including stories of bb guns, hunting carpenter bees and Star Wars figures, and how HBO gave an entire generation of boys an easier way to see nudity. And Fraggles.

When on topic, the duo also chat about Peter Billingsley's iconic role and where his career went from there, how the film inspired the creation of The Wonder Years, and Darren McGavin's made-up gibberish of swearing rants.

Enjoy revisiting Cleveland Street with Germ and Zach, then go watch a Christmas Story! Merry Christmas all!

With Christmas only days away, Germ and Zach dial back the clock to discuss the classic holiday, Miracle on 34th Street. Beginning with the questionable marketing choice to hide that it was a Christmas film, the chatty movie lovers discuss young Natalie Wood's belief in Edmund Gwenn's portrayal of Kris Kringle, throw a shout out to the postal service for always being true to themselves in life and on screen, and dive into the theme of commercialism inherent in the story and how it compares to the modern corporate approach to customer service.

As the month of Christmas Faves continues, the cotton-headed ninny muggins duo of Germ and Zach take on the Will Ferrell classic, Elf. The discussion ranges from Jon Favreau's influence on the Rankin-Bass look and feel of the film, a lesson in forced perspective, the cameo role for a Christmas icon as Ming Ming the Elf, Zach's memorable encounter with Amy Sedaris, celebrating the greatness of Bob Newhart, and sugar. So much sugar.

Join us for some Christmas cheer and sing it loud for all to hear.
