THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE with Lauren Graham
What better Christmas present could Monday Afternoon Movie offer you than a holiday special with special guest Lauren Graham?

And she’s also Sam’s IRL bestie, and they’re joining forces to discuss 1972’s THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE, starring Lisa Lucas and Jason Robards. Watch the film on YouTube.

THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY with Patty Schemel
We don’t like to brag on this podcast — we don’t, we swear! — but presented for your holiday delight is possibly the best union of guest and subject matter we’ve done so far: kickass drummer Patty Schemel and the 1968 made-for-TV Christmas classic, The Little Drummer Boy. Yes, this is a non-scary episode of the podcast, unless you find the Rankin/Bass stop-motion animation slightly unsettling, and many of us do. Listen to Sam and Patty reminisce about the 90s, her days in the band Hole, drugs and also holiday TV. Watch the special on YouTube.

GHOSTWATCH with Roz Hernandez
Welcome to a special Halloween edition of Monday Afternoon Movie, in which we discuss not a hilarious made-for-TV gem that is enjoyable on a camp level but instead a TV movie that is actually scary. We speak of GHOSTWATCH, a 1992 BBC broadcast that took many an at-home viewer by surprise when it first aired. To say too much would ruin a first-time viewing experience, so Sam — joined by returning guest Roz Hernandez! — will not be giving away the whole plot. Instead, let their conversation inspire you to tune in for yourself. Happy Halloween! And BTW, you can watch this film yourself right now (and for free!) on Tubi!
