Watching Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights with Zachary
Okay
This is a song that uh
There's a lot of Christmas songs out there and uh
not too many Hanukkah songs
So uh
I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids
who don't get to hear any Hanukkah songs
Here we go
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Hanukkah
So much funukah
To celebrate Hanukkah
Hanukkah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew
You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish
Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Hanukkah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Hanukkah
O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby
Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
Well he's not, but guess who is
All three Stooges
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is
Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonicah
Oh this lovely, lovely Hanukkah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah
Happy Hanukkah
Reading Stargirl with Becca
The Manic Pixie Dream Girl is a type of female character often depicted as a whimsical, quirky, sometimes eccentric, fantasy woman who saves the male protagonist from himself. She usually aides in his transformation without ever showing any real agency of her own.

Reading the Claidi Journals with Elle
Sometimes we read fantasy books we love, and we really don't know why because like what the fuck is happening half the time.
Watching Gladiator with Sarah
Mona is Sarah's mom :)
Reading The Clique with Haley
I'd never read The Clique by Lisi Harrison before, but the idea of the book is not new to me. This episode is about that type of book, the Pretty Little Liars, the What My Mother Doesn't Knows, the Mean Girls, etc type of book we read at a tender age.
Watching ThunderCats with James
James Monroe Iglehart, I kid you not, originated the role of Bobby in Memphis, won an Tony for the role of the Genie in Aladdin on Broadway, plays the dual role of Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in the Broadway company of Hamilton, performed in Freestyle Love Supreme, and loves ThunderCats.
He also free-styled a goodbye for me when I stopped working at Marvel, it's on episode #472 of the This Week in Marvel podcast.

Watching Ouran High School Host Club with Callie
Ok, this one is actually one of mine too. Just like Callie, I was absolutely obsessed with the Ouran High School Host Club anime, it was one of the first things that really felt like it was mine, not an interest someone else passed down to me.
It's on Netflix if ya'll want to watch!
Watching Matilda with Stephen
Matilda, starring and directed by Daniel DeVito.

Watching Freaky Friday with Yolanda
This is a special episode! Since my godmother Yolanda moved to Paris in 2004, my family doesn't get to see her as often. And this podcast is all about having an excuse to hang out with people I love.
We watched the 1974 Freaky Friday and the 2003 Freaky Friday. And then we had a boomer vs millennial battle to the death.
Yolanda's podcast is called The Paris Property Chronicles - https://parispropertychronicles.podbean.com/. Check it out!
Watching SpongeBob SquarePants with Will
are ya ready kids
follow Will LaPorte @walaprat
follow 11 again @11againpodcast
Watching A Little Princess with Lauren
Lauren Shippen is a professional story-teller- The Bright Sessions, a science fiction podcast, is her brainchild. But where did that brain get its start? Apparently with Alonso Cuarón's 1995 film A Little Princess.
Reading Percy Jackson & the Olympians with Alana
Playing Pokémon Diamond with BJ
BJ Tindal and I went to school together, and he was one of those kids that always seemed like he knew what he wanted to do with his life. He started playwriting in middle school, but that wasn't all he was writing~~~ my guy was blowing up those Pokémon forums.
If you're interested in reading his fan-fiction, you can find it here: http://www.fanfiction.ws/u/1172594/Bennyj1093
Talking the 2003 Iraq War with Tucker
Ok I know this episode doesn't seem like the good chill time yall were promised but hear me out.
Tucker wanted to talk about the Iraq War, but I think by the time I finished recording and editing the episode, a couple more things were clear. Growing up under any political administration takes its toll and for young kids a lot of that is based off of the messaging and imagery that's circulated over and over again by the government, media, and press.
So this episode is about the impact of that on Tucker's poor young brain, and also since he's a writer, about how important words and phrasing can be, especially for political propaganda!
The documentary we watched was pretty interesting as well- it's called The Unknown Know (2013) if anyone is interested in seeing Donald Rumsfeld's creepy smile.
Watching Hey Arnold! with Brendon
Hey Arnold is pretty sad, but that's nice sometimes
Song at the end is helGa. by Phony Ppl
Watching Chicago with Caroline
Sex, drugs, jazz, liquor... it's time to watch Chicago and know every line.
Also I don't think we ever clearly explained the plot (sorry!) so here's the wiki summary: Chicago centers on Roxie Hart (Zellweger) and Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) two murderesses who find themselves in jail together awaiting trial in 1920s Chicago. Roxie, a housewife, and Velma, a vaudevillian, fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows.
Reading Wild Magic with Elle
I grew up reading Tamora Pierce novels obsessively as a kid, but this show is about my friends and what they liked, so I found someone else who read her books and became friends with them. Elle listened to the audiobooks for The Immortals series a lot with her cousins in the car, but now she has to read them as an adult, and think about them will all the terrifying social critiquing skills she's accumulated over the years.
Watching A Goofy Movie with Andrea
I'm linking up with Andrea Caprotti (No Script At All) to talk about her young love for A Goofy Movie.
Playing Tony Hawk's Underground with Mike
Mike Schubert (Potterless Podcast) joins me to talk about the 2003 video game that changed it all- Tony Hawk's Underground.
Magic is for nerds!
Be cool! Play skater games!
Watching Animaniacs with Harry
My friend Harry watched the Animaniacs when he was fourteen, and I watched the Animaniacs when I was four, so there's a lot to be communicated across generational lines. We're uncovering who the Warner Bros are, and why they were locked in that water tower for so long.
Reading Goosebumps with Brandon
Fear...
Watching The Lord of the Rings with Mariah
Mariah and I grew up together. We also grew up with The Lord of the Rings. We were so hugely into fantasy as kids we practically invented LARPing. But is LOTR still as tight as we remember? Read more to find out.
Watching Space Jam with Patrick
We've all had that one movie that we woke up early to watch every day before going to school, and for Patrick that was Space Jam. Second only to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam takes the stardom of Michael Jordan and pairs it with the Looney Tunes to make a cinematic experience best enjoyed below the age of 12.
Hey look I had a lot of fun watching it, I just think the plain old life and times of Michael Jordan may be a more compelling drama without the Monstars getting involved.
Reading The Baby-Sitters Club with Deena
Nothing smells like Americana like cracking open an issue of the children's novel series The Baby-Sitters Club. And nothing else smells like Americana than a long history of genocide, colonization, and slavery. But how do you teach children about that? Deena and I read The Baby-Sitter's Club's approach in "Keep Out, Claudia!" to try to figure it all out.
Watching Titanica with Madeleine
I ask my friend Madeleine about the time she wouldn't stop watching the 1992 documentary Titanica. Titanica is about discovering the wreckage of the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean where it rests, plus it inspired James Cameron to turn Leonardo DiCaprio into a teenage hearthrob.
She tells me what she remembers from the movie (which isn't a lot), and then we both go and watch it in order to discover the reason she was obsessed with long underwater shots of rusting metal.
Reading Tintin in Tibet with Shreshth
My friend Shreshth was a big reader as a kid, he loved some old British stuff and some old Belgian stuff. He particularly gravitated towards kids detective and mystery stories, and no one is as plucky or nosy as young journalist extraordinaire Tintin. Coming from the great Belgian tradition of racism and colonization the Adventures of Tintin have been hugely popular worldwide. And through great luck Shreshth and I both read the comics growing up.
We talk about our memories reading Tintin as kids, and then revisit one of Shreshth's favorites, Tintin in Tibet, to see how Hergé's classics have aged.
Watching Liar Liar with Sarah
Much of Sarah's idyllic childhood in South Jersey was apparently spent watching the 1997 Jim Carey film, Liar Liar. In an effort to convince her that Jimmy was indeed a classically handsome leading man in his prime we talk about her memories of the movie, and then re-watch it.
