Hix Nix Stix Pix – Holiday Inn (1942)

In Hix Nix Stix Pix, The Mike O'Meara Show by Josh Sroka

This week, Robb and Josh are checking into Holiday Inn, the musical classic that gave the world “White Christmas,” enough Irving Berlin bangers to fill a jukebox, and Fred Astaire literally dancing with explosives.

The guys break down the holidays featured in the film (including a few that somehow didn’t make the federal cut in 1942), dig into the charm of Bing Crosby and Astaire at their peak, and take a candid look at the moments that haven’t aged quite so gracefully.

From firecracker choreography to old-school Hollywood romance, it’s a festive deep dive into one of cinema’s most iconic musicals—complete with the usual Robb & Josh banter, surprises, and questionable life advice.

Check in, hang your coat, and join us at the Inn
