HAWK TALK – Surviving the (Holiday) Experience

This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, we talked about holidays, winter and otherwise.

---

Topics, roughly:

• Time, which used to make sense
• Several holidays and feelings, media, and traditions related thereto
• Flash Gordon
• Mixed-faith families
• A New York Christmas Wedding (the lesbian time travel gay dead baby angel movie)
• Gingerbread
• Secular rituals
• Night in the Woods: Lost Constellation
• The Dark is Rising (again)
• The Spirit of Christmas (which is to say, exploding)
• J. Michael Strazynski’s The Real Ghostbusters
• Community‘s first three holiday specials
• Justice League: Comfort & Joy
• Passover and that time Moses gave Pharaoh a frog
• Passover and Miles trying very hard to play it cool
• Chocolate bunny funerals
