188 - Shared Xmas Universe (feat. Alexei Toliopoulos & Marcel Blanch-de Wilt!)

This week, we're joined by our very good friends Alexei Toliopoulos (Blank Slate Movie Podcast!) and Marcel Blanch-de Wilt (Marcel's Best Friends Club!) for our fourth annual Xmas Xtravaganza! We talk about our ideal gifts (then exchange Shitmas gifts instead), meet holiday characters Traditional Santa, Cool Santa and Geoffrey Claus-Toliopoulos. Plus, we play an exciting game of That Sounds Good, What's That About? in which we explore an Avengers-style shared-universe Christmas movie!

MUSIC USED:
SSJ Xmas Theme 2.0: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan
Chris Farren's Disney's Frozen (ft. Sean Bonnette & Anika Pyle): Chris Farren
TSGWTA Theme: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan
FEATURE TRACK:
This week, we're featuring another track by New York band Pupppy, who we previously featured on Episode 160. We loved their album Shit In The Apple Pie so much we named the episode after it, but it only occurred to me recently that the record was hiding a really fantastic, melancholic, anxious Christmas song - one which would fit in really well on our weird podcast. If you like it, you should grab the whole album for pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp!

56 - A Very Something Xmas #2: Lukewarm

This week, we don our Xmas sweater/s and share mirth, good cheer, and some good ol' fashioned family fun! We talk about gifts, Jesus, PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, Dishonored, The Unfinished Swan, Christmas drugs, a cameo appearance from Papa Sanderson, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, friend of the podcast Luke Milton, Gravity Rush, gifts (again), ex-girlfriends, and the Electric Light Orchestra.
In SSST: THQ files for bankruptcy. More Earthbound on the horizon. Minecraft: The Story of Mojang comes out soon.
In Ask SSJ: we stage a radio nativity play, drink eggnog for the first time, and discuss Aladdin 3, dinosaurs and ice cream, Batman vs Genghis Khan, Santa as an RPG character, penis fingers, teachers, punk rock, vending machines, Neil Armstrong, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War Of The Worlds, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and then a patented SSJ Actually Serious Ethical Discussion about killing animals, respect for death, and hypocrisy; Santa's judgmental criteria, and Axe Cop (my memory is terrible).
