Cue the holiday spirit because Krissy and Nathan are putting on their Santa hats to rewatch the 1988 slapstick comedy Scrooged, starring good ol' Bill Murray as a meanie-bo-beanie executive in need of some Christmas magic. Will the Ghost of Christmas Past take back their nostalgia goggles by the final bell? DING DING! Let's find out! ★ Turns out Billy's bonkers improv style made for one too many mistle-wrong moments as the villainous Frank Cross ★ While they jingled the ghosts' bells at first, each creepy Christmas spirit started to lose their magic★ This snowball got rolling as a madcap comedy but slowly melted into a confusing lump of drama and darkness ★ Not a ha-ha-ho-ho in sight as our hosts question Donner's directing decisions! Bah humbug! ★ On the mouse antler scale, watch out, rodents cause Krissy and Nathan give it an average 6 out of 10 A few other notes... 🎄 Should THIS really be considered a Christmas movie or just Christmas-adjacent? Discuss! 🎄 The cinematography got their filmmaking bells ringing for all the wrong reasons! 🎄 Speaking of wrongs, Carol Kane plays one naughty Christmas fairy! 🎄 Sprinkle in some magic movie recommendations for a very merry binge watch! While their expectations rode in on Santa's sleigh, Krissy and Nathan found Scrooged's bag of gifts just full of coal! 👎 But don't let the ghosts of podcasts past stop you from listening in on all the festive discussions and deciding for yourself! Just leave the fruitcake at home! 🎁🎄 --- Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. It's just $5/month or $55/year. Visit our website to learn more.
