<p>Christmas is only two sleeps away which means we needed a holiday flick that perfectly fit the jolly and joyous season. Of course, we’re talking about The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). Charles Dickens may not have envisioned puppets when he wrote this literary classic, but it’s definitively the best adaptation and for good reason. Quite frankly there’s no better cast to bring this beloved story to life than Kermit, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Rizzo, and the legendary Michael Caine in undoubtedly his most famous role. And that’s before we get to the musical of it all, even if only one of your cohosts really vibed with all the songs. This week, we’re leaving it to the Muppets to teach us some culture, decode 19th-century slang, and remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.</p><p><br></p><p>Resources</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/dec/21/how-we-made-the-muppet-christmas-carol">https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/dec/21/how-we-made-the-muppet-christmas-carol</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221209-the-muppet-christmas-carol-festive-classics-dark-backdrop">https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221209-the-muppet-christmas-carol-festive-classics-dark-backdrop</a></p><p><a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/making-of-muppet-christmas-carol/">https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/making-of-muppet-christmas-carol/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2019/12/20/a-grand-yuletide-theory-the-muppet-christmas-carol-is-the-best-adaptation-of-a-christmas-carol/">https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2019/12/20/a-grand-yuletide-theory-the-muppet-christmas-carol-is-the-best-adaptation-of-a-christmas-carol/</a></p><p>Your Muppet Christmas Carol Character: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DRubNitkRee/?igsh=YzB4bDB6Z3NpYXVw">https://www.instagram.com/p/DRubNitkRee/</a></p><p>Brett Goldstein Muppets Interview: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3gzf9ej18I">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3gzf9ej18I</a> </p>
