Magic Podcast on a rail, never takes a rest, gliding through the airwaves and the snow. Our 2025 Holiday Extravaganza concludes with a burst of steam and the tingling of a bell with Robert Zemeckis's Christmas "classic" 2004's The Polar Express. Daniel Ryan is your conductor on this one and Joanthan, Grant, Gabe, and Heather are just the passengers sorting through presents and glaring CGI. Hopefully on this episode we can ponder on the holidays' true meaning, as we sip on hot chocolate. Maybe we can even learn what it is to truly "Believe?"

What a Peach! Join us for a family holiday broadcast of Anime Was Not a Mistake in a Classique episode devoted to James and The Giant Peach (1996)! In this Henry Selick adaptation of the Roald Dahl book, James is about to go on a madcap adventure through the sky and across the sea in a giant piece of fruit?!? Jonathan and Dan are joined by their own cavalcade of bug friends with Grant, Heather and Gabe. As we ponder what kind of giant fruit would be the best to live inside and if we are more of a Sponge or Spiker the holiday cheer grows as large as well...a giant peach. So, pour yourself a stein of peach beer and let a flock of seagulls carry you away.

Anime Podcast - Definition: Two idiotic, but lovable, cohosts pick any bad movie they want or deem close enough to the subject matter they want and rant madly for an hour or so.

Welcome listeners, it's time to don your tropical shirts and freshly ironed culottes as Anime Was (Not) A Mistake/Sinister Six takes a much-needed vacation with the 2021 comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. When best friends Barb and Star long for a getaway they head off to the land of seashell, banana boats, and Morgan Freemanesque crabs. However, while love blooms, an evil pale, stinging plot may lie just below the surface of this palatial paradise. More than that, will Barb and Star's friendship prove to be as strong as a sea spirit. Jonathan and Dan's may come into question. Seagull! Can you hear my prayer? (Slurps down a Buried Treasure)
