Show notes

It’s time to ring in the holiday season, and we are kicking things off with a cozy trip back to 1992 to discuss The Muppet Christmas Carol. For Ryan, this isn’t just a movie; it’s the definitive Christmas film, a nostalgic hug that has aged like fine wine. For Deric... well, let's just say he views Kermit as the "vanilla ice cream" of the puppet world and has a bone to pick with the musical numbers. Join us as we debate whether Michael Caine is the greatest Scrooge of all time, why the Ghost of Christmas Past looks like a Dark Crystal reject, and if a pig and a frog really understand how DNA works. We also fantasy-cast a Michael Bay version of A Christmas Carol and pitch Muppet Die Hard (Fozzie as Sgt. Al Powell, anyone?). Does this holiday classic still warm our hearts, or has it aged like spilt milk? Grab your cocoa and find out! As always, don’t miss out on the Retro Ramble, Stale Popcorn and Gum Under The Seat If you're a millennial who grew up quoting this movie, or just love a good nostalgic conversation, then this is the podcast for you!
