On this episode, we’ll be shaking down 1992’s, The Muppets Christmas Carol.

While the film didn’t have the initial commercial success producers were hoping for, it’s certainly become a holiday classic viewed by many as required viewing during the season. Which is why I wanted to do this special episode right before Christmas Day.

We’ll be discussing everything from the movie’s songs, incredible performance and its copious amounts of Shanae turns.

So sit back, relax, maybe watch the movie before listening to the rest of this podcast, but enjoy our shakedown of The Muppets Christmas Carol.
