It's our 18th annual counter-Christmas carol episode where we find holiday hymns & seasonal songs outside of what you're hear endlessly elsewhere. We'll dig into Oscar Peterson's jazzy score to the 1978 thriller The Silent Partner, resume where we left off with Danny Elfman's songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas and generate good cheer for us all.
