IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (or a December 25th miracle if that's not your jam)!

Topics include: Jason Mantzoukas, Junior’s cheesecake, smashed laptops, costuming, developed characters, laughs, precious cargo, Riordan Wiki deep dives, Sydney Sweeney, future Clarisse, Mario Kart, Annabelle Chase, Walker-isms, the Knicks, George Costanza, emotional VFX, accurate apartments, foraging, and more!
