"Ya like green girls? I love em!" For this Christmas adventure, we're taking a look at holiday classic Gremlins, and the bizarre follow up, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Chris Columbus may have a vision for Gremlins 3 coming out in a few years, but perhaps our pitch will be more reflective of Joe Dante's madness. Join Ian, Sam, Spencer, and returning Christmas guest Peter Liu as we navigate the dense lore of this IP. Is this a pseudo-musical critiquing the previous entry, much like Joker 2? What holiday trauma will be unearthed for Phoebe Cates? What liquids will create monstrosities across the United States, from smoothies in Hollywood to coffee in New York? Open your present and behold Gremlins 3: One Gremlin After Another; the feel good movie of the year.

Happy December, fellow Aldovians! We're looking at the Netflix IP that has changed the holiday season forever, with Karen Schaler's masterpiece: A Christmas Prince. Have you ever seen a thumbnail for a low budget rom-com about an everywoman who, around Christmas-time, falls in love with a knight, or a snowman, or a lumberjack? If yes, you have this franchise to thank. But this holiday season, Aldovia is doing things a little bit differently. Join the royal writer's room of Ian, Sam, Spencer, and special guest Gibson Oakley as we brainstorm a new Aldovian initiative. Will Richard be a leader to orphans, or a tyrant to atheists? What secrets will Amber's blog reveal to bizzaro Europe? What ideas from The Princess Diaries can we steal? Tune in to find out in: A Christmas Prince: The Royal Retreat.

On a special Sequels 2 episode, Ian insisted Spencer host, because the movies we're covering are the loosest definition of a franchise: 2008's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the 2010 not-quite-sequel, "Get Him to the Greek". How will the Apatow-verse and Hawaii survive? Join Ian, Sam, Spencer, and special guest Ben Jaffe (Disney TV) as we explore the Apatovian spectrum of manchild to sex criminal, the unexpected appearances in both films, and the most important question to ask: Did Diddy do it?
