Popcorn Eschaton 71 - 'Scrooged' and 'The Muppet Christmas Carol'

It's the holidays on Popcorn Eschaton! On this episode, Scott and John discuss two adaptations of Charles Dickins's 1843 novella 'A Christmas Carol:' Richard Donner's 'Scrooged' and The Jim Henson Company's 'The Muppet Christmas Carol'! They get into how each film tackles the text's spiritual and social commentary, as well as why The Muppets, and public media in general, are essential in today's media environment.
