It's all downhill from here! To celebrate the occasion, please enjoy this special bonus episode in which Julia and Anthony once again gather to discuss their favorite "Saturday Night Live" Christmas skits that didn't make their list the last time they talked to the iconic sketch show! They each picked five, which means this episode is full of tons of laughs! Additionally, the two discuss their Top Ten Christmas films that have released since the film "Elf", and surprisingly, only three films out of twenty are common to both lists! Also discussed: the news that Jim Carrey is in talks to reprise his iconic role of the Grinch in a live-action sequel to the beloved 2000 movie, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"! Trust us when we say, this is one fun, festive episode that serves as the perfect way to mark the fact we are only six months away from Christmas Day! So settle back, relax, and enjoy!

Transcribe →The Best Part Of Frank's Story Was How The Four Of Us Come Together As A Group To Mercilessly Slaughter Him! (A Very Sunny Christmas)
2w ago01:05:18Tap to summarizeHappy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! We hope all the dads out there had a great Father's Day! This week, Julia and Anthony discuss the extended "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" Christmas episode (released as a standalone DVD back in 2009 before airing in two parts on television to cap off Season 6), "A Very Sunny Christmas"! For anyone familiar with this show, this should go without saying, but this episode contains language that could be considered offensive, as well as a lot of swearing - in the context of quoting the special. And that warning alone should give you an idea of what Julia thought of this show, which she has never seen before! Is Anthony a fan though? You'll have to tune in to find out! Even if he is though, whether or not this episode has a Linus moment or is a bonafide holiday hit is another question! Also discussed this episode: Gabe's Birthday, "Disclosure Day", Jameson the dog (may he Rest in Peace), AI and how we treat it, and much, much more. This is one fun, festive installment of the podcast you definitely don't want to miss! So settle back, relax, and, as always, enjoy! Thanks for your love and support, y'all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
