Watch the Walmart cut of A Christmas Carol, now with 33% more prisons and workhouses

Season 3 of the podcast is underway. The first episode drops this Wednesday, covering A Flintstones Christmas Carol & A Christmas Carol from GoodTimes Entertainment, but if you subscribe to my Patreon, you can get access right now!

I know Kubrick wasn’t the nicest director to work for, but at least there are sweet pictures of him directing Danny Lloyd

I don’t know, man, I’m kind of sick of treating Trump and his cronies like they’re just absurd and laughable and not really spending any time talking about the murders, the concentration camps, the millions starved around the world, people living lives beset with threats of violence and erasure.

No one in history has named a dog this.

So, a slight change of plans: The Muppet Countdown episode is being postponed until after the holidays. Instead, this Wednesday, I'm starting Season 3 of the podcast a week early! Tune in for the first episode of Not Your Father's Ebenezer Scrooge, as I cover the two animated versions from 1994.

Didn’t realize until now that Wild and Blue, which has become something of an alt-country standard, was recorded by him first. Always loved that one. RIP

Jonathan Harker: I’ve got a great deal for you on this abbey in London. Dracula: Show me the Carfax.

i'm tired of pretending Lincoln isn't a top 5 Spielberg

Last year at Halloween, instead of bobbing for apples, we appled for Bobs. What ridiculous sorcery will I introduce this year? Join us next Wednesday for The Order of Things Halloween Special at 8 Eastern!

Although, since some of her CATS co-stars were method actors, they mostly just batted all the tiles off the table.

The theatrical cut of the Tim Allen movie The Santa Clause featured a reference to 1-800-SPANKME, which a child called and racked up hundreds of dollars in fees. The home video release replaced it.

A great character actor who always gave it his all. No matter the part or the project, he would turn up and make it memorable. I’ve also heard so many stories about what a kind and caring man he was to work with. RIP

Watched the first 4 episodes of Carrie last night, and it’s safe to say I’ll enjoy everything Mike Flanagan does. It’s a true updating of the story for the modern day. Also, Matthew Lillard’s performance reminds us once again that Quentin Tarantino has no idea what he’s talking about.

Sheb Wooley, the singer of The Purple People Eater, was also the man who performed the stock Wilhelm Scream.

Dreamt there was a Wicker Man remake starring Jim Belushi, so I’m grateful my dreams aren’t prophetic.

Like a lot of folks in the Space Jam fandom, I was stoked to finally see Ken Russell’s The Devils and fill in the backstory of the nun in the New Legacy crowd scene! Hmm. Pretty different kind of movie, though.

This week, on THE ORDER OF THINGS, it becomes Name That Tune when @tableflipsyou.bsky.social sings The Devil Went Down to Georgia... or something similar.

A Christmas Carol 1994 features a brief early apperance from televangelist Joel Osteen.

Almost like there was absolutely no benefit to throwing trans people directly under the bus, but he just felt like it.

Like most zombie movies, Dawn Of The Dead (1978) feels like a video game. What's most surprising about the film, though, is that the video game it resembles most isn't a first person shooter or a horror survival game, but Roller Coaster Tycoon.

“If we fire her on Friday, they can’t make fun of her on Saturday Night Live.” “That’s now how any of this works…” “Fire. Now.”

Chuck Lorre took all the good will from the Charlie Sheen debacle, burned it with a series finale that was just a series of middle fingers to him, and he’s now trying to ride that same high against other actors.

In 1971, Donald Trump saw The Brotherhood of Satan and decided to steal this guy's... well, everything.

Objectively hilarious to do a nostalgia-bait prequel about a character who doesn't get any of his iconic items until later sequels.

As a trivia host trying to find weird Halloween things for this month's games, I occasionally stumble upon clips like Eartha Kitt and Roseanne inexplicably singing Monster Mash to a costumed audience.

Jimmy Kimmel: So, let's talk about the only project where you couldn't have had an affair. Green Eggs & ... Michael Douglas: Me & Sam-I-Am. Jimmy Kimmel: What? How? Michael Douglas: On a plane, on train, here and there, everywhere.

This week on The Order of Things, a question guaranteed to drive the players mad ... or mad mad ... or maybe mad mad mad.
