Traveling for the holidays? Whether you are driving, flying, taking the train, or saddling up on the ol’ Tauntaun; we have got your festive listening needs covered! Just running some last minute errands and Christmas shopping? Pop us on in the car for some much needed light-hearted fun.
The folks at UnderScoopFire have recorded three holiday themed podcasts to get you through the most stressful of times. With almost 4 hours of combined content, we’d love to help you get where you’re going and share some laughs and memories on the way.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Podcast
It’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. Well, at least for a few days now. Our Christmas Vacation podcast has shattered previous numbers for downloads/listens in the first 2 days! Thank you for the warm response! If you like this site, chances are you love this movie, so check out the show. We do NOT simply summarize the movie: we talk about other great holiday movies, best gifts, memories, the other Vacation movies, and much more. In typical fashion, we go off the rails at times and end up chatting Dukes of Hazzard, Biker Scouts, Laserdiscs, Dumb & Dumber, Nut n’ Honey… it goes on and on.
A Christmas Story Podcast
In this festive episode, theUnderScoopFire roundtable welcomes Jason Gross, creator of Rediscoverthe80s.com and Dan Fogarty from Fogsmoviereviews.com to discuss the 1983 holiday classic, “A Christmas Story.”
We discuss our favorite quotes/scenes, if the movie has stood the test of time, our thoughts on TBS running it for 24 straight hours, and our own personal Red Ryder BB gun gift. As always, we do our best to stay on topic, yet somehow end up chatting about Ernest movies, Chevy Chase’s 1981 flick ‘Modern Problems‘ and Star Wars.
1983 JC Penney Catalog (Toy Section) Podcast
If you are anywhere close in age to us, the JC Penney Catalog was one of the most highly anticipated and visually gratifying annual publications to grace your parents’ coffee table on a yearly basis. Now, it has it’s own podcast. We discuss Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Barbie, My Little Pony and much more. Reminisce with us as we relive making our Christmas Wish Lists in 1983!
While you’re in the festive mood, make sure to check out this hilarious Christmas Vacation song written by podcast listener and friend of the site Brian Adams! Brian is the creator of coolandcollected.com, a great site for “children” of all ages!
And last but certainly not least, before the local radio stations play their last Christmas song for the year- check out Jason Gross’ latest 80s music column, Slayed Christmas Songs of the 80s – The 5 Worst Christmas Songs of All Time!
