Movies based on books are nothing new, but each version usually adds something new. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a classic holiday tale and it's in the public domain, meaning anyone can use the story as a basis for a new movie or Christmas episode of their TV show. There are easily over 50 retellings of the familiar story on the screen and Jeff and Cole watched...well, not all of them, but certainly a few. There are good parts and character portrayals in each, so we cobbled our favorites together and present for you - not just A Christmas Carol - but THE Christmas Carol. 'Tis also the season for new movie releases. Bumblebee and Aquamancome out today and we've got your reviews. Marry Christmas from the Screen Cleaning team and God bless us, everyone.

If you listen to Screen Cleaning you are probably curious about what people think about movies. Jeff and Cole give opinions, good or bad, every week. Rotten Tomatoes is one of the most popular movie review sites out there, but it is often misunderstood. The Tomato-Meter is a review aggregator that gives a percentage of good or bad reviews. Today we talk to Ashley Rodriguez of Quartz to talk about how Rotten Tomatoes really works and the effect it has on the industry. Generally when we give good or bad reviews on the show, Jeff and Cole are on opposite sides, but every so often a movie comes along that they can agree on. Mary Poppins Returns comes out next week and is definitely one of such movies. There are also two comic book releases this weekend with Once Upon a Deadpool and Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse and we review those too.

There are a hundred reasons why a song gets popular, but what about when it gets used in a popular movie? Jeff and Cole are joined today by Don Shelline, host of Through the Garage Door on BYU Radio, to talk about such songs. Music written for especially for movies need not apply. The critera are it had to have flopped when originally released or at least gained more popularity than it had originally by being used in a movie. Also Producer Mickey shares some of her favorite movie moments, we react to the Awards Shows news of the week, and we give some ideas for Christmas gifts for the cinefile on your list.
