About this listen

The Niche Files is a pop culture and media podcast where three nerdy friends dive into cult classics, forgotten gems, and fan favorites. We overanalyze movies, shows, books, and games with humor, deep dives, and plenty of unhinged tangents. Sometimes it’s overlooked, sometimes it’s weird, and sometimes it’s just something we love too much not to share. Expect chaotic debates, fandom hot takes, and maybe too much thought about which fictional characters are... dateable.

Come for the nostalgia, stay for the nonsense -- pull up a chair, you’re among friends.

  • The Muppet Christmas Carol (Is the Best Adaptation)

    The Muppet Christmas Carol (Is the Best Adaptation)
    Dec 25 2025

    This week on The Niche Files, we’re talking about The Muppet Christmas Carol, Cody’s pick for the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol, and the one that somehow manages to be heartfelt, emotional, and extremely Muppet-level chaotic at the same time.

    We walk through the story, the songs, and the ghosts, talk holiday traditions, and derail ourselves with a Muppet personality quiz along the way. It’s festive, funny, and feral -- exactly how a Christmas episode should be.

    A simple holiday question turns into disbelief, metaphorical daggers, and a passionate defense of a Muppet-filled “beautiful masterpiece.”

    Was The Muppet Christmas Carol a yearly tradition -- or did someone in the room somehow miss it entirely?

    The Nightmare Before Podcast
    Dec 13 2025

    This week on The Niche Files, we take on The Nightmare Before Christmas, a movie that’s been sparking arguments for decades.

    Kass makes her case, Cody questions the hype, and Ryan does his best to derail the conversation at every opportunity. We talk big opinions, strong nostalgia, and why this movie hits very differently depending on who you ask.

    Whether you watch it every year or side-eye the obsession, one thing’s guaranteed: this episode gets chaotic fast.
