The Muppet Christmas Carol - Denial Is A Powerful Thing

from Imitating Art with Don & Chuck · host Bigeffinmoose

The Muppet Christmas Carol. A classic from the 90s that takes one of the darker and more dramatic Christmas tales of all time and transforms it into a hilarious and heartwarming family musical fit for all ages. It might sound like a tough feat, but when you introduce the Muppets into any story, the silly comes with it. Pretty effortlessly, it seems.  Michael Caine (Real name: Mickelwaite? Something like that?) plays Ebeneezer Scrooge in this adaptation about an aging miser (and right dickhead, to be honest) who undergoes a haunting specifically designed to help him change his dastardly ways just in time to spend all his money on Christmas presents. Statler and Waldorf even show up to make fun of one of Chuck's favorite jokes from the 1800s. A group of penguins puppets ice skate through the streets of London. Look, if you don't know the story of A Christmas Carol, we can't do any better than that at explaining it to you. And then, there's the lessons. Don and Chuck do their best, but with this story, there are lessons around every corner. Some of the lessons they do touch on include: How Scrooge's character reflects the hypocrisy of the Fox News/MAGA crowd (Yeah, we went there) How the lessons from Christmas movies should be remembered all year long Humans need reminders to be kind Businesses can treat their employees better You forge your own chains in life The power and universality of denial ...And probably a few more!
