I believe in Santa Claus and Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, it is a very just cause and such a journey to make! Tonight, join us for a very, merry, holiday special with all three cohosts of the podcast, reunited, in person, Dan, Grant, and Jonathan all combine their Rankin/Bass knowledge together tonight. On the bill are three classic stop motion films, all part of the same canon. The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974), Jack Frost (1979), and Rudolph and Fosty's Christmas in July (1979) are tonight's subject and this podcast has never had more fun. Are you aware these movies all star puppets, not humans? Why is "Part-Time Pete, posed ever so seductively? What lengths would you sell your soul for a silk top hat? Don't have a "Blue Christmas" tune in, and enjoy! That's the Rub!

Our holiday interlude continues with a trip to the dark and surprisingly festive underbelly of Gotham City. In Tim Burton's Batman Returns, the Caped Crusader must take on the combined forces of the Penguin, Catwoman, and corrupt business mogul Max Shrek. While Gotham City tries and fails to enjoy a very ritzy Christmas, the Penguin emerges from the sewers alongside the destructive Red Triangle Gang. Max Shrek schemes to mold the Penguin into the ideal mayoral candidate, but Cobblepot has some sinister plans of his own. Meanwhile, Shrek's beleaguered assistant Selina Kyle transforms into Catwoman after a failed attempt on her life. Batman finds himself face-to-face with villains that are unsettlingly similar to him. We hope you'll join us for an action-packed adventure about love, loss, and public relations.

We would cross oceans of time … and apparently the limits of anime for our viewers. Tonight, we continue the theme of creatures of the night, with something a little bit different. Come revel in the decadence that is Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Romance, mystery, and horrible British accents await, just beyond these rustling curtains. The D stands for dang good movie on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.

We better warm up, Madam Blanc is waiting for us to inhabit the role of Volk's protagonist in 2018's Suspiria.

However, bubbling below the surface, are a coven of witches, wishing that you would sample their poached pears. Only through watching can you decide if you want to dance the dance of another movie, or else fall under its spell and let Mother take care of you.

In a frightful departure from our usual anime fare, we will be taking a look at Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. The year is 2000 and The Blair Witch Project has taken the world by storm. A group of ill-fated movie fans venture into the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland for a night of drinking, smoking, and well-mannered frivolity. They wake up with something far worse than a hangover and attempt to solve the mystery of their gruesome rave. Though this sequel lacks the magic of its predecessor, it makes up for it with hard rock, goth lore, and lots and lots of forest beers. Video never lies, but sometimes this podcast does.

On today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, we're channeling some spooky vibes and taking a look at Blue Exorcist. This series focuses on a good-natured delinquent named Rin Okumura, who just so happens to be the son of Satan. *gasp* Alongside his brother Yukio, Rin enrolls at the prestigious True Cross Academy in order to become an Exorcist. Officially sanctioned by the Vatican (as religious scholars have confirmed), Exorcists fight to protect the human realm of Assiah against the demonic forces of Gehenna. Remember to stock up on Triple-C Holy Water and call Mephisto to arrange a carpool. We hope you'll join us as the story of Blue Exorcist ignites. *gasp again*
