Are these going to be unhinged Uncle Santa advent calendars?

Chris Pearce

Was not prepared for that!!!

Eugene Lattig

CONGRATULATIONS JEMMA AND ADAL😭

Chris Pearce

And nobody who isn't review crew will know about it

Erin, I recommend book Eastern Body, Western Mind 🪷

SadWithPower

Keif has gotta get out of LA.

I don't know if Erin knows what chakras are 😭 why are there crystals?? Is this some white ppl LA bs bc I have never heard of crystals being involved

Cory Morgan

Adal becoming a dad was not on my 2026 bingo card. P.S. Congrats Adal & Jemma!

Marisol

The main character from Ludwig is played by the real life husband of the host of Only Connect so truly perfect show for a future review crew - idk if this is common knowledge outside of the UK so thought would mention lol

Chuck Metcalf

Adal: I read Lonesome Dove for the first time last year. 1 - It fucking rules. 2 - Prepare to be emotionally destroyed 😂

Since Adal and JPC's fates are in our collective hands, I'm just gonna say that I thought that Adal's calendar was very nice (and, of course, congrats!). He may have only done 20 days, but the discussion about his different pre-fatherhood tasks was a delight to hear and the highlight of the episode for me personally. JPC's calendar totally counts for the assignment, imo, but the fact that his movies were all secret did mean that discussion about it was a bit limited. But Advent calendars are kinda supposed to be a surprise for each day, so I don't think he loses points for that. And the discussion about the movies was fun anyway. All told it was a fun episode to listen to and I think they both did good, but I am sorry that Erin didn't get what she was looking for out of the concept. I hope that we can get some crystal healing or other bullshit like that on the poll again in the future bc it sounds fun.

I just asked my partner (she's very smart) what she thought, and she said they both count. So that's pretty conclusive.

Congratulations, Jemma and Adal!

ASL resource I love: lifeprint.com (specifically the dictionary) Also liok at at Bill Vicars YouTube playlists (guy who runs life print) - looks like he has a good Parent sign language video!! I don't love the ASL bloom app (the android one is buggy AF, though the dictionary is nice) I've heard great things about the lingvano app but have yet to try Big recommendation: whereever you end up learning, try to find resources run by deaf people over hearing!!

Erin Berg

We all voted for DIY Advent Calendar bc we knew it’s what Erin wanted and we wanted to make her happy, right?

Vivenna

OMG CONGRATS ADAL & JEMMA!!! I'm so happy for you guys 😭😭

resnet

I'm sure they'll announce it at some point. It's just a world premiere here

Congrats Jemma and Adal omg I'm so excited! For what it's worth, I think Adal and JPC completely fulfilled the assignment and crafted their really fun advent calendar! What I think might have been at the heart of Erin's complaint is the share-ability of some of these products. A movie or TV episode is just a lot more shareable, whereas a craft (analog or digital) is much harder to describe. I think this goes for Erin's calendar as well because while I can understand the concept of it, I don't really see any of the single ornament being used. I hope these review crew episodes don't continue to be a growing point of stress for the gang. Maybe if some of these tasks are starting to get a bit out of hand, I'd personally prefer a simpler concept so that everyone can accomplish them easily and have a good time!

Congratulations Jemma and Adal 🎉 Such amazing news!!! Thanks for sharing it with us 😌

Jamie Cayer.

congrats jemma and adal!!! so so exciting 💘🥰

Jonah

Why does Adal's advent calendar feel like a bucket list like he's about to die once they have the baby.

Drew Kline

Omg I had the same advent calendar as Adal growing up

Q

Congrats Adal!

Kellen Hawley

Holy cow, congratulations Jemma and Adal!! You two are going to make wonderful parents. My one piece of dad advice: after having a child, all movies and TV shows in which a kid was hurt, neglected, etc. became unwatchable because of how they hit me emotionally. So if you have any dark movies or TV shows on your list, get through them now!

Anca

My jaw literally dropped! Congratulations, Adal & Jemma! Beautiful news!

Liam Duffy

Huge congratulations to Jemma and Adal!!

gwitch

YAY ADAL AND JEMMA!🩷

jollytheoldsaint

I had the exact same thought. Congratulations to Dadal and Jemmom!

Ed B

I was falling asleep listening to this like “when did Adal have a baby what’s going on” before checking my phone and seeing it’s a new episode!

Jessica Wyllie

personally I way prefer the review crews where the gang has to go somewhere or do an activity over just watching or listening to something. Even if not everyone does the activity, i’m equally as entertained to hear whatever loophole they made up. will happily listen to anything u guys do tho! congrats to Dadal and jemMa

Oh wow congrats! Exciting stuff. Books: I've not read lonesome dove, but in the off chance you've not read Austen Pride and Prejudice is a great intro and hilarious. Once you get the rhythm of her language it's amazing. Persuasion is my fave, tho.

kat

congratulations to Adal and Jemma!!! i gasped out loud hearing it, how exciting for you all!! that being said for me this was possibly the second worst review crew ever in terms of entertainment value from the review taking place (1st place is gravity falls godbless). i don’t pay my hard earned money to listen to JPC poorly describe a spreadsheet. Erin was bringing exactly what i wanted with that title and i wish the whole episode was her talking about christmas crafts

Lulululu

I voted for quack healing experience because I like it when they have weird experiences (and I like JPC rants).

DrewishKing

Have you seen the tv show- peep show?

DrewishKing

To be clear, this was a congrats for the 🤰. Santa will truly be an uncle.

Kalli

Congratulations Adal & Jemma! :)

Cassandra Ichniowski

Advent *is* the season in the church calendar where we are waiting for a baby to arrive, so I actually think Adal did it most correct. (And of course, congrats!)

Vee Campbell

I’ve definitely heard of crystals being used to cleanse your chakras! (I don’t believe in it, but it is a thing.)

Vee Campbell

Erin!! The Castle is one of my all-time favourite movies too 😭 I think Darryl Kerrigan is the best movie dad of all time. It’s so sweet and uplifting and quintessentially Aussie. Perfect film.

Plus one to all of this! I have been using Lingvano for a while and it's excellent. Also asl.ms for practicing reading fingerspelling.

Rocket Cambria

BREAKING NEWS! Congrats Adal and Jemma!

Hot for Kermit

Same! Very sweet Christmas memory I hope to recreate for my kid one day. And congratulations Adal and Jemma!

Brandon Nunnery

Wow I guess I’ve never known of an advent calendar? Had to look it up when they started talking, I think if I’ve ever heard “advent calendar” in media or in person but assumed it was a boring office job thing like a schedule of meetings. Never did any form of this as a kid and I don’t know anyone who has, crazy I’ve gone this long never seeing one or doing one

Khylle Rosario

I hate to ask this but what's crocodal? I cant find it anywhere and it sound like a fun game

nature

omg I love crokinole, I've never heard anyone else talk about it 😆

David Rysdam

Adal's calender was best. Describing a spreadsheet via audio is boring but so is describing a craft I can't see. But really, the stupid/bad reviews are the best ones. I only care about good reviews for things I'm interested in. I'm interested in dumb things being taken down no matter what. I think going back to mystery/game/puzzle-based reviews would be a good idea, tho. Have any of the Crew tried Blue Prince on Steam? So excited about the baby!

Lulululu

It's actually spelled crokinole. It's kind of hard to describe, but it's a dexterity game that you play on a special board.

Altrucel

This question is for Adal only: was it pre-cum or no?
