0103 XanaCineHolidayThis week, dear listeners, we are joined by Pat Wick for a two-part extravaganza about current movies, because this is our XanaCineHoliday Special! Windy, Melissa, and Pat all spent an entire day in theaters in three different cities, and they all lived to tell about it. (Bonus: if you’re the type of person who likes to try to guess the Oscars, the end of this episode contains 20 minutes about all five of the nominated Best Documentary Short Subject films.)

If you would like to drink along, we recommend Yellowtail Sangria, because it fuels Windy like gasoline fuels a car.

Show notes behind the cut!

It’s XanaCineHoliday!

Today is the day that Windy and Melissa will be marathoning movies all day, in two different cities.

Will you be joining us by watching a movie today, too? How about several movies? Have you already seen a movie today? Please tell us what you’ve seen! You can comment here, on Facebook, or on Twitter. We’ll be using the hashtag #xanacineholiday between screenings.

See you in the theater!

Windy and I are guesting on a podcast about Pyramids of Mars!

0102 B-Fest 2016This week, dear listeners, we bring you the second half of our B-Fest 2016 rundown! Kelvin Hatle of the Get Off My World podcast returns to help Melissa relay tales of joy and horror.

If you would like to drink along, we’re still drinking what we had last week: New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest, Green River soda, and HEB sparkling water with sake. (Separately. Not mixed together.)

Are you ready for XanaCineHoliday?

Look who showed up to watch Bridge of Spies with me! #xanacineholiday

Melissa and The Elusive Fes during our November XanaCineHoliday

Last November, we had a trial run of a new thing called XanaCineHoliday: Windy would camp out in a theater in Texas, and Melissa would camp out in a theater in Minneapolis, and we’d both watch movies all day. It was a ton of fun, so now we’re doing the first official XanaCineHoliday! (Or maybe we’ll just call it XanaCineHoliday #2. We’re not sure yet.)

If you would like to participate, watch a movie — or several — on Saturday, February 20th. It doesn’t matter if you watch the movie in a theater or off a DVD, just watch a movie! When you’re done, tell us what you watched! You can comment here on the web site, you can comment on our Facebook page, or you can tweet at us. We’ll be posting with the #xanacineholiday hashtag.

Alternately, if you’re in the Minneapolis area and have nothing better to do on the 20th, here’s Melissa’s tentative schedule. Feel free to show up and say hi!

Noon: Deadpool (Willow Creek)
2:50 PM: Hail, Caesar! (Willow Creek)
4:45 PM: Room (Willow Creek)
7:05 PM: The Big Short (Willow Creek)
9:50 PM: The Witch (Willow Creek)
Midnight: Ex Machina (The Uptown) (maybe)
