Holiday Vault 2 (Incomparable 118)

Author: The Incomparable December 9, 2014 Duration: 1:01:28

From 2012: Five new gems go in our Incomparable Holiday Vault. Plus we talk about some uncovered racism in holiday classics, Andy champions the annual David Letterman Christmas episode, and Steve inducts a horror movie.


There’s a certain kind of holiday special or movie that feels like unpacking a familiar, slightly dusty box of decorations-you know what’s inside, but the ritual is the point. The Incomparable Holiday Box captures that feeling in audio form. It’s a seasonal collection from the team at The Incomparable, diving into the TV episodes and films we return to every year when the days get shorter. This isn’t about reviews or rankings, but about conversation and connection. You’ll hear a group of thoughtful, often funny people discussing what makes these traditions endure, from the heartfelt classics to the charmingly cheesy. They explore the narratives, the performances, and the peculiar magic that only holiday-themed stories seem to hold. Each episode feels like joining a warm, lively discussion among friends who genuinely love this stuff. The podcast serves as an annual audio companion, examining everything from animated specials and beloved sitcom holiday episodes to the big cinematic spectacles that define the season. It’s for anyone who finds comfort and joy in these cyclical viewings and wants to hear them talked about with both affection and a critical eye. Tune in for a deep, engaging, and surprisingly fresh look at the stories that shape our winter rituals.
