Patch says goodbye to Donner. It’s a tearful farewell and then we’re suddenly in front of the US Capitol Building in Washington DC! We question Patch’s packing and planning, learn a new word, give credit to the the uncredited folks who brought the movie’s reindeer to life, and imagine a Santa Claus: The Movie: The Musical! Plus: We do some research in realtime on the podcast!

We’re at the emotional one hour mark of the movie! Santa strips Patch of the elf’s assistant duties and hands the official apron off to Puffy. Patch then heads to his room in the reindeer stable to gather his things as he prepares to leave the North Pole. Plus: A clever callback! Menacing music! The book adds some more context for this Minute! And we take a detour to come up with a pitch for a Santa Claus Netflix series!

Our special guest Mike Westfall from the Advent Calendar House podcast joins us for this minute! Toys are falling apart and kids are mad! Joe encounters some bullies in an alley and Cornelia gets into a fight with two girls in dance class. Back at the North Pole, Dooley is in disbelief as broken toys come crashing down into the mailroom.
Along with Carrie Kei Heim, this scene features a young Shannon Spruill (aka former WCW wrestler, Daffney) and she shares her memories of filming this movie with us!
Plus: Was Nicole Appleton from the band All Saints in this minute, too? Smoking in family movies, terrifying talking dolls of the 1980s, a reckless school bus driver, and much more!

Cornelia offers Santa some chocolate chip cookies from Bloomingdale’s. Santa helps himself to some cookies before saying goodbye for now. The next day, it’s Christmas and Patch’s shoddily produced toys start falling apart much to the disappointment of kids everywhere (or, at least, somewhere in Texas). Join us as we take a deep dive into what Santa calls his favorite cookies, reveal what Cornelia thinks of the nickname “Corny”, search for an obscure TBS promo, learn that friendship is magic, and much more! Join us as we discuss Minute 57 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).
