Frosty Returns

🎄 Somehow Frosty returned.  🎙️ The Advent Calendar House is back open for Christmas in July as Donnie Storms and new guest Collin Murr from Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Podcast drop in seeking shelter from “Frosty Returns,” which despite the title, is not a sequel, and not even a Christmas special. From Lorne Michaels and Kermit the Frog’s ghostwriter comes a message about the environment delivered by the voices of John Goodman, Jonathan Winters, and a young Elizabeth Moss.  📺 You can find “Frosty Returns” on the Internet Archive.  (00:00) - Intro (02:10) - Guest Histories (05:57) - The History of Frosty Returns (12:06) - Act 1 (44:41) - Retro Commercial Break (45:57) - Act 2 (01:08:14) - Act 3 (01:22:28) - Final Thoughts   ****    💬 Topics & Tangents:  An interview with story writer Jim Lewis (The Muppet Newsflash, 2007).  Today’s TV Tropes: Stern Teacher and Right-Hand Cat.  “Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In.”  “Donald’s Snow Fight.”  “I have a hole in my stomach!” from “Death Becomes Her.”  The parade from “Batman” (1989).  ****  📼 Commercials:  Trix Cereal Christmas Commercial (circa 1992)  Festive Foreign Film Fans  ****  “Frosty Returns” © 1992 CBS Inc.  Hosted by The Retro Network.  Theme song by Bronwen’s Ghost.  Find us at adventcalendar.house.  #s16 #1990s #frosty
