  • 103. 30.3 Noelle | The I'm Related to Santa Trilogy

    01:24:26||Ep. 103
    It's Christmas Eve and Tripod is back for one last holiday gift...but this one is more like a lump of dang coal! In the (merciful) final instalment of the trilogy, Tyrie, Matt and his brother Ben take Disney's Noelle to task, lamenting it's missed opportunities, under-utilised talent and wondering who it's actually for. The mouse certainly has a lot to answer for. In any case, Merry Christmas and Happy Hoglidays everyone, we'll see you next week for our final ep of 2025! Oh and please don't sue us, Peter Combe. We love you.

    Ho, Ho, Huh? That's right, Tripod is back for their third and sweatiest Christmas trilogy yet! It's the I'm Related to Santa Trilogy - three films no one asked for all packaged up in a beautiful holiday gift from Matt and Tyrie to you, dear listener. This week, the boys channel their inner Grinch's to talk (and scream) about 2007's family(?) film, Fred Clause. At one hour and forty minutes of pure pod, you better believe they go on some Tripod tangents in this one folks! Happy holidays!
