Pop Culture Predictions for 2022

It’s the new year! There's no better time to make some bold (but maybe not so beautiful) predictions about what pop culture treasures from the past might have a rebirth in 2022. 
From beloved TV and movie icons who might return to the screen to classic game shows perhaps ripe for a rematch, hosts Eric Grigs and Mike Jones peer into crystal balls to foresee what nuggets of nostalgia may see new moments of relevance in 2022. 

Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

Grab your wash tub bass as we head to Frogtown Hollow in the 1970s and visit an impoverished otter family who find hope amidst hardship in the charming Jim Henson Christmas special “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas.” 
Your pop culture Christmas elves, Eric Grigs and Mike Jones, make the case for this TV special as the perfect cure for your holiday anxieties and also explore the technical genius behind the puppetry which helped to usher in the decades of Muppet cinema that would follow.
Some say our world is getting too small, we say with kindness and some singing otters, there’s room for us all in this latest episode of the Pop Trash Podcast’s series “We Wish You a Campy Christmas.” 

Christmas Sitcom Time Machine

We’re making a list and checking it twice… a list of four favorite Christmas sitcom episodes! Revel in the seasonal delights of classic TV from the 70s through the 90s. These special holiday shows were comedy juggernauts, skilled at pulling in a sleigh full of laughs.
Your Pop Trash Podcast hosts Eric Grigs and Mike Jones hop in our time machine and travel between 1977 and 1995 to discuss warm memories and obscure trivia from the very special Christmas episodes of sitcom giants Alice, Alf, Night Court, and NewsRadio. 

A Very Brady Christmas

Here’s the story… of a lovely reunion with one of the most beloved families in all of TV history! Our first episode revisits the 1988 holiday TV movie hit “A Very Brady Christmas.” There’s no better way to celebrate the spirit of the season than mixing some “Ho Ho Ho” with “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!”
The Brady gang’s mostly all back (sorry, Cindy!) as the original cast of The Brady Bunch returns 14 years after the show ended to spend Christmas together. What are the Brady kids like as adults? How are Carol and Mike handling being empty nesters? And most importantly, did Alice really find her choice cut of meat in Sam the Butcher? 
Join hosts Eric Grigs and Mike Jones as they count down the best moments of “A Very Brady Christmas,” discussing why this Brady reunion is a true Christmas miracle.
