About this episode
We try to make more accurate donkeys in Nativity displays catch on like a certain elf on a certain shelf by revisiting the 1977 Rankin/Bass special, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey . **** 🎙 Guests: Lindy Kempe ( @ieatvideogames ). Brandon Medley ( @brandmed , Blessed are the Geek ). **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. Roger Miller performing Do Wacka Do in 1966 with another guitarist, “Stubbs,” who’s wearing a Batman T-shirt. 2. Roger Miller’s Whistle Stop intro to Disney’s Robin Hood is secretly the Hamster Dance . 3. Tilly’s ascension back to heaven is strikingly similar to Poochie’s exit from The Itchy and Scratchy Show . 4. Mary has “the Glow” from The Last Dragon . 5. Annalee Santa dolls . **** “Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey” © 1977 Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc. Full show notes with links at adventcalendar.house . Say hi on Twitter @adventcalhouse .
