Episode 141 (December 20, 2024)
Ho ho ho and ruff ruff ruff. Scott “The Tool Man” Calvin (Tim Allen) is cursed with hideous Christmas powers and finds himself turning into eternal sprite of winter. He has only 11 months to get his affairs in order before he leaves Earthrealm behind. Can he patch things up with his estranged son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) before it’s too late? And does he need to watch his back or the elves who work for him will arrange a quiet coup, i.e., drug him and cause him to slip off a roof, like his predecessor?
For the final regular episode of Load Bearing Beams of 2024, we’re joined by an outstanding guest: Movie Talk With Brock. Please check him out on TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.
