TV Confidential with Ed Robertson

From December 2018: Greg Ehrbar and Ed discuss the new DVD release of Santa Claus is Comin' to Town; how the various mythologies that screenwriter Romeo Muller created specifically for Santa Claus is Comin' to Town has since become part of the lore of Santa; and why the casting of Mickey Rooney, Fred Astaire and Keenan Wynn were all inspired choices. Greg not only provides audio commentary for Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, but appears in The Animagic World of Rankin/Bass, the excellent documentary that is part of the DVD package.
