The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the 1965 animated short A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's that time of year, gang, and we've got plenty of lockdown time to watch some holiday classics. And this one is a particular favorite of ours, though we have some opinions about some of the others. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
Announcements:
We found a way to do our monthly meetups - on Discord! Come hang out with us in the voice channel on the 4th Saturday of the month; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website
We're super excited to announce our partnership with ComicBooks For Kids. Details on the website (and you should be listening to hear more, too 🙂)
What we're up to this week:
Supernatural rant with spoilers (I was very optimistic - you'll want to skip to about 16:15 to avoid them), watched Murder By Death on Discord, Classic Albums episodes on The Wailers' Catch a Fire and Sex Pistols' Never Mind The Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols, The Coed and the Zombie Stoner, The Best of Sex & Violence or Reel Exposure depending on where you find it (the other movie Les & Liz are talking about is Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death from 1989), Taking Shape II: The Lost Halloween Sequels (The Killer Inside Me was written by Jim Thompson in 1952 - there was a really good comics adaptation a few years ago)
