Episode 298: A Very Craptacular Christmas

It’s time once again for the Showcase gang to sit down and indulge in some holiday hijnks! This year’s Christmas marathon brings the boys face-to-face with some of the lousiest Christmas specials ever made, including several suggestions by you! Listen in as the guys tackle Christmas in PacLand, The Smurfs Christmas Special, He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special, Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer, The Alpha-Bots Christmas, and the granddaddy of them all, The Star Wars Holiday Special! Not gonna lie, guys, we needed the RiffTrax crew to get us through that one.

And what’s cool this week? Blake is still jazzed about the new Astro City, and talks about the new storyline that kicked off with issue #7.
