Episode 163: A Royal Corgi Christmas

 


Merry Woffmas! Its our final episode for the festive season and final episode for 2022! This week we’re taking about a Hallmark Christmas movie, which should tick a certain amount of boxes right? Unfortunately A Royal Corgi Christmas doesn’t have a cute romance, nor a tree lighting (what?!) and for a movie with a dog training plot. There's not much of that, either!

But surely there's something we liked about it, right?

Episode 162: The Grinch (2018)


Anna and Em from the Shelf Aware podcast are back for their annual Christmas episode! The Grinch is ingrained in popular christmas culture. Even if you’ve never seen it, you know it. But how does this version stack up against the others? Em has all the Dr. Seuss facts you need, while Anna is curious about why this version of the Whos are … fuzzy? Meanwhile Kate finds herself identifying with the Grinch a little too much.

Plus! The most important topic to date. Is The Grinch’s dog Max a loyal good boy being manipulated or culpable in his green masters behaviour?

Episode 160: Up On The Wooftop

Episode 136: A Dog for Christmas

 

For our last Christmas episode (and last for 2021) we have possibly the most misleading movie in existence. How much dog content should be in a movie titled A Dog For Christmas? A lot more than this one has! And even looking beyond the lack of dog, is there anything redeemable about the movie that claims to be a low budget version of Christmas Vacation? (Spoilers: NO)

But don't worry, we fill your doggo needs with talk of Izzy, Gideon and Jazz. Plus we've got some very exciting doggo spots.

Happy Holidays!

Episode 135: Caturday - Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

 

Ho Ho NO! Do you identify Grumpy? This Holiday season, we do! Well, Kate always has, so it was a delight talking about the 2014 Lifetime Christmas movie featuring everyones favourite downcast cat.

Episode 134: Gremlins

 

Happy Holidays! Em and Anna from the Shelf Aware podcast are back for their annual Christmas movie. While this one, the 1984 classic, Gremlins, pushes the boundaries of a dog in a movie, it doesn't stop the ladies finding distractions with other topics. Anna has to know about the age of the main character and why he has teenage friends. Em gets stuck on what exactly this movie is trying to say. While Kate just want to talk about best boy Barney.

Episode 112: Look Who's Talking Now

 


Anna and Em from the Shelf Aware podcast join the show again. This time together to talk the 1993 comedy Look Who's Talking Now! This is a movie set during Christmas, with talking dogs, but aimed at an adult audience. So what could possibly go wrong? A lot, actually!

From controversial co-stars to awkward doggy sperm sequences, this movie brings up a lot of questions, most of which have nothing to do with Christmas. But the most important question plaguing our minds... 90s John Travolta: Hot or not?

Episode 111: 12 Dogs of Christmas Great Puppy Rescue

 


Happy December! We have arrived at the very first of our Christmas movie episodes! This week, Stephanie returned to discuss some very good dogs in "12 Dogs of Christmas Great Puppy Rescue". A sequel that was good, but felt a little underwhelming.

With not as much doggy action as the first one, we tackle some other important questions we had about this movie set in the 1930s.

Episode 85: The 12 Dogs of Christmas

 


Happy Holidays! Its the last episode for the Christmas season and the last episode of the year! In our 2019 wrap up we talk decade questions, what would our dogs have not guessed life would be like 10 years ago and what have we learned in the last 10 years of pet parentship? The answers might surprise you.

Then we get down to business to talk the 2005 period movie The 12 Dogs of Christmas, a sweet movie that didn’t have us cringing – too much. The main question on our minds though, why did this town hate dogs so much?

See you in 2020!

Episode 84: A Christmas Shepherd

 


Courtney from The Cult of Domesticity Podcast is back to talk all things German Shepherd, mainly bestest boi Ace who stars as Buddy in The Christmas Shepherd. Its a Hallmark movie that, given the standard, is quite good. Even if it leaves us with many unanswered questions, such as: why didn’t Ace get top billing, when he’s clearly carrying this movie on his own.

Plus, we take a dive into Ace’s filmography and debate if his other movies are worth watching, then get insanely distracted by all the dogs we follow on instagram. Lots of great recommendations you wont want to miss.

Episode 83: The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation

 


Its the second Holiday ep of the season and we’re renewing our tradition of The Dog Who Saved series with another Zeus Christmas. Does this sequel compare to the first? Did Vacation really need saving? Why are they still stuck on weird doggy romances? Are George and Randy more toxic than the actual criminals? So many questions, with not a lot of answers. But hey, at least the dogs are cute.

Episode 82: A Christmas Wedding Tail

 


Its the first of the very special doggy Christmas episodes! This week Kate is joined by Em from Shelf Aware and 12 Months of Christmas Podcasts to discuss Em’s specialty, Christmas Rom-Coms. The ladies are tackling the 2011 Hallmark movie A Christmas Wedding Tail. A film in which so many things make very little sense and is littered with so many stereotypes to make you cringe, but hey, at least the dogs are cute!
