Ep 311: "The Muppet Christmas Carol" Revisited
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
Kermit, Gonzo, and two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine starred in this musical retelling of Charles Dickens' yuletide classic. 1992's "A Muppet Christmas Carol" wasn't nearly the hit Walt Disney Pictures hoped, getting clobbered at the box office by its own "Aladdin." But now, decades later, did we all miss a Christmas miracle? Or was Caine's tragic take on Scrooge too much for a kids' movie? And, why was a diva like Miss Piggy reduced to a measly supporting performance? The Old Roommates hop on a vegetable truck and give it a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Grab a lump of coal and join them!Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.
