Honestly, all things considered, there probably has never been a better time to watch the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special than this 2017 holiday season.
So, catch it in an actual theater, The Pack Theater, with other folks the day after Christmas (kind of neat, belated Christmas present, right?).
Get more details here.
If you hate the holiday season as much as we do (everything stops and we’re not fans of that), this “War on Christmas” edition of Dark Matters this Saturday night might just be for you. They’re going to have “Three hardcore Christians compete against three hardcore Satanists to answer the question [of whether their is a War on Christmas] once and for all!” plus other holiday surprises like doppelgänger piñatas and “Chanukah Chorror Stories”
