In the first episode of our two part Holiday Extravaganza; Mason Hunter joins the show to take a James Cameron level deep dive into the creative process behind his new album "Rat King" (11:22), his TikTok followers demanding impressions from him like he's a piano bar, which Beatle wrote the better Christmas song, and Avatar (which Ryan just watched for the first time EVER after avoiding it for over a decade).
We also preview some of the big movies coming our way in 2023 like Super Mario Brothers, Indiana Jones, and James Gunn's conclusion to the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy as he exits the MCU for his new role as the head of creative at DC.
Plus, we kind of stumble into announcing/discussing/recommending that our very own Max Hatlem released a new album called, "The Extant Traveler".
