To celebrate the holidays we're discussing the stop motion TV specials that traumatized us as children.
Santa Clause Is Coming to Town: A young Santa has to fight Nazis or something.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: A young reindeer is made fun of for being different.
The Year Without a Santa Clause: Some guy with no pants sings from Hell.
Frosty the Snowman: A snowman lures some children away from home and then gets murdered.
If you want to @ us for ruining your favorite Christmas specials that's fine.
Oh! And we also have a new 80s and 90s TV trivia game to play. Hooray!
