It’s the Great Minutes, Charlie Brown is a Movies By Minutes podcast that celebrates and analyzes the 1966 tv special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Hosted and produced by experienced Movies By Minutes podcaster Eric Deutsch, the podcast discusses the beloved Halloween special two minutes at a time. A different guest joins Eric every episode to cover topics like getting rocks instead of candy, pulling footballs out of the way, missing trick or treating to freeze in a pumpkin patch, whether The Great Pumpkin is really just Santa Claus wearing different clothing, and of course, the great World War One flying ace in his battle against the dastardly Red Baron.

See you in the pumpkin patch!
Charlie Brown implies that Linus waiting all night for the Great Pumpkin was stupid, Linus flips out on him for saying so, and the closing credits roll. Plus, the extended opening sequence included advertising, what the heck is graphic blandishment, and debating who had a worse Halloween night – Charlie Brown or Linus.
