Christmas Classics Look Back: The Muppet...

Emily & Barney
About this episode

[Recorded in 2021] oO0ooOooooahhh!!!!! today we're discussing the Michael Caine and Kermit the Frog classic - 'The Muppet Christmas Carol'. We love a film with a meaningful message, but especially when it's narrated by a blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat. Jelly Bean, anyone? So get into your comfiest dressing gown, put some coal in the fire, and start listening! it's what Jim Henson would want.


Pro tip: Best listened to with some Lipton tea (although, that's none of our business)...
