Psych - The Polarizing Express

🍍 I’ve hidden a pineapple somewhere in this episode, and if you can find it… you get nothing. Sorry.  The Advent Calendar House is back for Christmas Podcast Day. This year, a bunch of your yuletide podcast pals are dropping episodes themed to “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and that gave me a premonition to take a closer look at a very merry episode of “Psych” from 2010.  🎙️ Gerry Davila from Totally Rad Christmas joins this examination of our superego, taking the form of renowned actor Tony Cox as himself… kind of.  Find more “Wonderful” episodes in the Christmas Podcasts directory.  ****  💬 Topics & Tangents:  “Psych’s Take on ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Changed Shawn’s Character” (Collider, 2023)  Maggie Lawson (Jules) on “Boy Meets World.”  Corbin Bernsen (Henry) has a collection of over 8,000 snow globes.  Today’s TV Trope: Good Angel, Bad Angel.  Keshia Knight Pulliam as Gus’s sitcom wife.  Behind-the-scenes photo of dream sequence Jules, Lassie, and Chief Vick.  Skyler Gisondo as Young Shawn.  The Canadian Motion Picture Park Backlot standing in for the least Miami-looking Miami.  Oh, there’s the pineapple.  “This Is Christmas” by Curt Smith.  ****  📼 Commercials:  Corn Pops: “Pops Locked in the Car” commercial starring Dulé Hill (1994)  ****  “Psych” and “The Polarizing Express” © 2010 Universal Network Television, LLC.  Theme song by Bronwen’s Ghost.  Find us at adventcalendar.house.  #s15 #2010s #itsawonderfullife
