The Xmas Mistake: A Cursed Podcast

Ester, Kate, and Dan plumb for buried treasure (knowledge about 2022) in this movie about figurative buried treasure (lost friendships) that leads to real buried treasure (actual treasure, more or less).

Dan, Ester, and Kate have returned to learn more about what elections are like on Earth '23. Ooh, I bet they're normal elections.

Dan, Ester, and Kate have begun their Earth '23 cultural reintegration much like the protagonist of this film: rushed into a strange present day, unclear about what has happened in the intervening years, and living in a house that's been turned into a museum.

Dan, Ester, and Kate have been gone for years, trapped in the Xmas dimension. Thanks to a powerful Xmas wish, they've returned in podcast form. Wait, then who made those episodes in 2021???? 

Dan, Kate, Chad, and Julia start a podcast, but maybe it's also just the first episode of a podcast sub-series. It's not totally clear, but hey, who are we to explain it all? 

You can find Julia Schifini on Spirits, at multitude.productions, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dan, Kate and Chad watch the third movie in an Xmas Trilogy because CHAD DIDN'T DO HIS HOMEWORK. During the summer we agreed to each take one movie in a trilogy and review it. Dan took the first.

Now they must watch it together and reverse engineer the trilogy from the end.

Dan, Kate and Chad watch Xmas slowly encroach on the frontier of its influence in this very, VERY poor kinda sorta not really adaptation of Shakespeares "Romeo and Juliet". It's a terrible mess, if you watch it just skip to the end for the good Barrel Racing.

Dan, Kate, and Chad gotta get back, back to the past to find... CCB's first Hallmark! Within, they figure out how to pronounce her name–probably. 

Here's the video we watch during the episode.

Dan, Kate, and Chad stumble into the unfamiliar The Christmas Card from all-too-familiar time: an era before the infection, before the burnt-black X of the Hall Mark. Here, was a run-of-the-mill Christmas TV movie; one outside of the dense crust of Christmasland, where men were men, troops were heroes, and the only festive darkness was the darkness in America's heart. Welcome back to the War on Terror, baybee!

Daniel, Kate and Chad learn all about Christmas Coma Ghosts and their absurd, situational rules in this movie that is DEFINITELY not "The Spirit of Christmas". Evil business men, magic electric powers, child lead ghost cults and more, it gets so, so weird.
