Episode Notes

Animator & writer Leigh Lahav brings a fresh perspective on Christmas, America, Stranger Things, and more in our annual revisit of A Charlie Brown Christmas.

##TALKING POINTS

• Snoopy, the Hello Kitty of North America;
• like when Neo learns Kung Fu in The Matrix, except it's Christmas;
• Googling "tweening," a totally SFW animation term;
• a giant silver bottle brush as tall as a man that you have to handle with gloves;
• dunking your hapless husband in a big old tank of America;
• Hot Judah Macabee, your next Halloween costume.

Our guest is Leigh Lahav, a writer, animator, director, and YouTube sensation. Watch her fantastic Stranger Things / CB Christmas mashup on her YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/onlyleigh |

##EXTRA CREDIT

• no English subtitles available but still highly enjoyable
