The movie doesn't have a sequel, but now the review does. We revisit the holiday classic, "The Muppet Christmas Carol." This time, Todd re-evaluates the movie with Preston, who wasn't with us the first time around, in episode #028 (check out that episode for the first version).
- What examples did the Geeks have of Muppets being comforting, diplomatic, the theme of the best ride at Disney World, great music video makers, and being made for adults as much as for kids?
- While still on tangents before diving into this movie, what did the guys think of the 2011 movie and 2015 TV show, both insufficiently titled "The Muppets"?
- What did the guys think about the performance choices of Michael Caine ("My Cocaine") as Ebenezer Scrooge?
- Did Todd have any nitpicks this time around? If not, is that the first time ever and possibly a sign of the apocalypse?
- What were some of Preston's favorite parts?
- While talking about Scrooge as a rich person, what calculation did Todd make about a billionaire's salary per minute (not per hour)? Is it ethical to be a billionaire? And, how did this lead to a joke-not-a-joke about Batman?
- Do the Geeks think the ghosts haunting Scrooge were real or just a dream or hallucination?
- What did the Geeks think about each individual song in the movie, and what were their favorite quotes?
Listen now for the answers to these and other melodic questions as the Geeks sing the praises of..."The Muppet Christmas Carol."
