Forget Dracula and Hamlet…the modern day actor worth his mettle must take a shot at Ebenezer. All the greats have: George C. Scott to Albert Finney, Tom Hanks to Jim Carrey, Captain Picard to Frasier, Kermit to Mickey, Mr. Magoo to Fred Flintstone.  

It has been a fair sight since I have made a video, has it not? I beg of you, do not expect these videos to arrive till they come, in which I think will only contribute to the ease of us both. Which is to say, welcome, I suppose. This is my channel. Where I talk about nothing of any possible importance.

Ah, the holidays. It’s a time to relax, to stuff yourself with delicious food, to spend time to with friends and family, and to…commit the perfect crime. Right?

It may sound a bit jarring, but the film version of Assassin’s Creed (which steals into movie theaters on December 21^st) is not the first work to identify the link between the holidays and crime-related capers. Some of the best holiday tales are full of mischief and creative law-breaking! And here at Quirk, we have some particular favorites. Here are the ones that keep us coming back year after year.

When I picture the holiday season, there are several traditions that always come to mind, like decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, and building snowmen. But the biggest of them is watching a performance of the ballet The Nutcracker. From the elaborate stage and prop design to the skilled dancing, it is difficult to not get whisked away into the magical world of fighting mice and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

While we all have our annual must-watch traditional movies, let’s not leave the rest of our favorite characters and story arcs out of the holiday love: we’ve collected quite a few TV holiday episodes that we love catching reruns of this time of year. Because when people mention Santa, who doesn’t think of Ross Geller as a giant armadillo telling the story of Hanukkah? It’s certainly in our top geeky holiday episodes!

This year, we’re making popcorn, settling in with mugs of hot chocolate, and rewatching our favorite holiday episodes because reasons. What are these reasons, you may ask? Read on to find out!

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is finally here! Are you as excited as I am? Probably. Have you written a Shakespearean sonnet to mark the occasion? Now you don't have to!
