Dan and Brian consider Sesame Street, including their own history with the beloved children's show, before discussing two holiday specials: the warm-hearted Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, and the unhinged Elmo Saves Christmas. Join as they parse through their many thoughts on Elmo's bizarre, hellish predicaments, the weird Snuffy-Big Bird vibes, and the many bops in both specials.

Oh boy, what isn't Anna and the Apocalypse? This 2017 Scottish film hits a lot of checks for the kind of movies Dan and Brian enjoy -- Christmas movie, zombie movie, musical, teen drama, comedy. So does it fulfill its potential?

Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)
A Flintstones Christmas Carol (1994)
Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas (2006)
Barbie in a Christmas Carol (2008)
Join as they "reflect upon their current blessings" and ponder some of the quirks and innovations of each adaptation to get in the holiday spirit.

It was bound to happen. For the first time in 103 episodes, Dan and Brian had a catastrophic recording mishap. Nevertheless, they persisted, and completed another outing of "Violent Ends," a comparison of two films with similar premises but divergent endings: This time, two films about being in the horror business. Join as they discuss the horror-comedy extravaganza of The Cabin in the Woods and the scream economy of Pixar's Monsters, Inc.
