As the holiday season feels like it's becoming normal, for our 15th annual counter carol episode, we'll go abnormal as we profile the 1974 Canuxploitation film Black Christmas and all sorts of darker Yuletide material. We've lost some key cultural folks tied to Christmas and music, so embrace the mix. We're doing this early so you don't feel utterly weird so if past episodes were your baking soundtracks, this one might need some advanced kitchenwork.
