Ho ho ho! We can’t wait for this ep to sink its “Claus” into you…Sorry, we meant sink its “CLAUSE” into you, because this week we welcomed in comedian Rachel Glassford to help us discuss all things about “The Santa Clause” franchise (the one with Tim Allen).

Kinda surprised this was the “last straw,” but hey, gotta start somewhere.
Mick has always seemed like a genuine, smart guy so it’s good to see him stand up.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Really really awful stuff here. Regardless of who it is (although certainly seems like we know) this is just terrible
My god, ABC is now reporting that police initially began a death investigation at the home of Rob Reiner, and it has now developed into a murder case.
Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.

My early Oscar prediction is Coogler getting Best Director but OBAA Best Picture
The Boston Society of Film Critics names Ryan Coogler Best Director of 2025 for "Sinners." Damn right. PTA, Safdie, Trier and Panahi all worthy and in the mix. Heading to the final award as darkness and snow fall. #BSFC @bsfc.bsky.social

Potential starter/Super reliever are both intriguing options
Matt Arnold says that there’s a possibility the Brewers try Angel Zerpa as a starting pitcher. It’s a conversation they have to have with him, but there are people within the organization who believe he could start.

Lmao I totally missed that they nominated this *before* it was released 🤣
Fascinated by the Golden Globe nomination for "Cinematic and Box Office Achievement" for Avatar: Fire and Ash, a movie that has made zero dollars at the box office, and was not considered a strong enough cinematic achievement to get a best picture nomination. Globes gonna Globe, but come on.
