The Muppet Christmas Carol


Listen Later

This week, we’re getting festive with a deep dive into The Muppet Christmas Carol, joined by returning guest Mike Moroz. We talk about the pure fun of the Muppets, their sharp and timeless humour, and the powerful nostalgia that makes this version so beloved. Beyond the jokes and songs, there is a surprisingly deep emotional and moral messaging at the heart of the film and why it remains one of the most faithful and effective adaptations of Dickens’ classic. We also discuss how it serves as an incredible gateway for kids to engage with classic literature, blending warmth, accessibility, and storytelling in a way only the Muppets can.
