Nathan and Dave return to the Illustrated Fan with a big episode celebrating animated Christmas specials, including classics like How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas and the madness of Rankin Bass! Joining them on this addled odyssey of yuletide delirium is Karen Wagner, from our X-Files Round Table.

We also open the episode with a full review (with a spoiler free and spoilers segment) of Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio.

Without further ado, check out the episode and see which specials Nathan, Dave and Karen chose as their favorites!----more----
