For many outlets, the end of the year is a time to be bedecked with holly, evergreen, and the scent of baking spices. At SRD, we prefer to buck tradition and go to the alternate extreme. We’ve forbidden our host, Burlington Showtime, from mentioning any holiday for the duration. That means President’s Day, International Kiss a Puppy Day, and the Fourth of July are all off-limits. Can he make it? You’ll have to tune in to find out. On top of torturing a Hollywood Q-lister, we’re also bringing you a new, fantastical episode of Sam Spruce and all the murder, hauntings, folktales, and Christmas elves (don’t tell Burlington) you’ve come to expect from our madcap team.
This episode features the vocal talents of Kat Evans, Jared McDaris, and Ansel Burch.

Back when it was the fashion, we leaned hard into the Halloween season. That meant featuring characters from some of history’s favorite Halloween costume traditions: poltergeists, cryptids butterflies and Basil Rathbones aplenty! Not only that but we sent our host to a collection of carefully curated hells.

In this episode we learn a great deal about the traditions of the Showtime family and the respect Burlington doesn’t really have for traditions that have worn out their usefulness. We certainly can’t claim that Mr. Showtime is superstitious but he did manage to accept a lot of cryptids and talking animals in this episode which features over an hour of hilarity to keep you busy for at least part of your drive to a small, backyard barbeque.
Featured in this Episode, “Samuel Spruce, the Little Wooden Boy: The Legend of Garbage Day” , “Public Domain Adventure Team: Total War” and “Boozlers in the Basement: April” with shorts, Lesser to None and Bigfoot Watch.
