One, two

Krampus’s watching you

Three, four

Svartalfr at your door

Five, six

He’s got a switch of sticks

Seven, eight

You’re gonna end in chains

Nine, ten

Christmas’s at an end…

Cheer......... or fear?

This year, for our holiday special, Josh and Ryan are taking you to the dark side of the holidays, with a look at the 2015 riff on a classic piece of Eastern European folklore, Krampus.

Hoping for gingerbread cookies? They're here, but you're the one on the menu. Elf on a shelf? These elves brought their meathooks. Do you wanna build a snowman?! Careful it doesn't pull you into the underworld!

Or, maybe, this whole movie is a joking jab at every other Christmas classic out there, lampooning even the National Lampoons, skewering the claymation of yesteryear, and trodding upon the Hallmark outcomes that get hokier every year. It's the proverbial 'Dark Link' of the holiday movie universe. The balance to the holly jolly joy and saccharine sweet taste of too much candy and Christmas cinema. It's what the universe needs to stay spinning on its tenuous little spindle.

We'll let you decide.

Krampus was released in 2015 and stars Toni Collette, Adam Scott, David Koechner, and Allison Tolman.

From all of us here at The Cinemeh Podcast to you, our listeners, we wish you the sincerest of happy holidays, whatever you celebrate, as this year comes to a close. We value you as you an audience, and many of you, as treasured friends and family. Thanks for being with us for another year of mediocre movies, and here's to another in 2025.

It’s ALL been building towards THIS! MAXIMUM EFFORT!

In our final installment of The CineMEH Podcast presents Marvel’s Deadpool movies as created by Fox, we are excited to bring you…

Deadpool and Wolverine!

Josh and Ryan go on a final extended rant about the the Marvel properties before Disney got them in their Mickey gloves, what the future of the multiverse is, and whether or not this was actually a good movie. Ryan thinks it was. Josh has other thoughts.

You’ll get to see Paul Rudd age! You’ll get to hear the cosmic wailing of an infinite number of parallel universes! You’ll get to smell the musty inside of a superhero mask ONE. MORE. TIME.

That’s not to say we won’t faithfully bring you future Marvel movies, or future past Marvel movies, or even future past future Deadpool Marvel movies. It just means that this particular venture down the Marvel multiverse has reached its inevitable conclusion and we’re both melancholy and thrilled.

Wanna experience a half dozen fights between two nigh-invincible slobberknockers who are competing to drop the ‘F’ bomb the most times?

This is the movie, the film experience, the cinematic masterpiece… and the podcast for YOU.

Deadpool and Wolverine was released in 2024 and stars HUGH MOTHERF***ING JACKMAN, the guy from Van Wilder, Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes, and Steve Rogers.

…Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel Marvel.

What’s better than ONE Marvel’s Deadpool movie?! Two Marvel’s Deadpool movies!

Please note that Marvel did not actually release the Deadpool movies, they are in fact Fox properties, but we’ll be damned if we do anything at all that raises the profile of THAT fallen empire.

Josh and Ryan are back in part two of our Marvel’s Deadpool series with the aptly titled… Deadpool 2!

Co-starring a guy you could be forgiven for mistaking as Thanos, a sarcastically charming performance turn by the star of Joker (that’s… that’s Zazie Beetz, y’all… our podcast note writer has a crush on her), and with appearances by a host of celebrities in C-Tier superhero roles, this gonzo second outing of the merc with a mouth is a rollickin’ halfway-decent time!

And since you don’t get to enjoy the brilliant Marvel’s Deadpool performance by our very own Josh, please know that he confidently delivered the entire episode’s remarks IN. A. DEADPOOL. MASK.

You ready? Time for Maximum Effort.

Deadpool 2 was released in 2018 and stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Josh Brolin, and Zazie Beetz.
