Welcome to a very problematic episode of our Christmas TV podcast where we discuss “Christmas Scandal” from Parks and Recreation (available on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon)!
Sorry for the length on this one. We were talking around some delicate subject manner. Next episode is shorter we swear!
Less scandalous topics discussed in this episode, include: Jon pitches his Jeremy Renner/Audbrey Plaza rom-com, spoilers for the Little Hours, childhood celebrity crushes, our issues with The Office, small town hot, college illness, disillusionment around the holidays, ghost Pam, and Christmas running routes.

We hunt for the clues that may lead us to calling “An Echolls Family Christmas” from Veronica Mars (available on Hulu) a Christmas Classic on the eleventh episode of our Christmas TV podcast.

Nobody wants to end up in the ER for Christmas, and no one is going to want to end up watching “The Greatest of Gifts” from ER (available on Hulu) after hearing what we have to say about it in the tenth episode of our Christmas TV podcast.
We also check up on some other topics, including: Jon's ER story, the right time to open Christmas presents, what is the greatest gift of this episode, Brian's attempt to get us sued, animal cruelty, and we consider switching to exclusively watching soap operas.
