Human Santapede (Bonus Track 173b)

Author: The Incomparable December 2, 2014 Duration: 20:57

Our holiday songs episode from 2013, which was yesterday’s Holiday Box selection, was one of our more raucous recording sessions ever. There was the positive stuff, which formed the first half of that episode. Then came the negative stuff, which formed the second half. But then there was all the dark, weird stuff. Stuff so dark and weird that Jason, who was hoping it would be an episode that required no editing, ended up spending more than five hours extracting the weirdest and darkest stuff so that it didn’t poison anyone’s holiday mood in the main show.

This Bonus Track contains all of that weird, dark stuff. (Plus a delightfully dark song by our very own Steve Lutz.) Burn after listening.


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.
